A lot of great comments guys! Nice to know we have a bit in common where ever we are in the world .
Thanks for watching 👊
I knew you were a sound guy ! now I know your half Scottish that explains it lol worrying about my tools getting stolen, an how long I would spend in jail if I ever caught someone stealing them ! thanks for taking the time to make these videos, you an you buddy seam like youd be cool guys to work with ! look forward to the next video !
I heard your dad tonight, he is a real Scotsman.Aye, man. Old school is cool. Same as you, let us learn from them. Love your channel. I'll meet you some day, Scott.
That was pretty cool that you put your Dad on the phone. Just lost my Dad so made me smile that you took the opportunity. Cheers.
im sorry to hear that m8
With Ryan's th-cam.com/users/postUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE plan I was like one taken by the hand and led step by step from start to finish. Thank you very much Ryan!
Pros: it's a skill that requires thought, planning and passion to get right.
Cons: people assume by your dirty clothes that you're unskilled, uneducated or an ex-con.
One of my favorite things is meeting my girlfriend for lunch at a fancy restaurant all nasty from work, all the looks I get.
On the con...Having full sleeves/hands/neck tattooed too doesn't help, trust me ;)
You guys wear clothes to work?
bro that’s why you just can’t care what people think about you, you’re taking your own path and you don’t owe it to dress a certain way
Well just sounds like you need to hang out in different places.... When I go to certain places covered in dust and sweat I am treated with respect and friendship. But yes there are some places who would look down on me but really I am not at the point where I care anymore.
As a framer: I got into laying block, welding, installing shingles and metal roofing, siding, finish carpentry and tiling. Cons are relatives and in-laws wanting you to build them things and not paying for anything. I got an associates degree in applied sciences for welding- the rest I learned on the job but being a framer I can see what will work when drawing out plans beyond the wall and I use that for metal fabrication as well. Cons is it is an expensive adventure every time- I lost a wife because I'm always busy but remarried. Only the strong survive.
Seeing clients appreciate the skill/craftsmanship you've put into their job!
Its the greatest job ever. I’ve been one for 40+ years still fun every day. I’ve worked as a cowboy, fireman, lineman logger trucker crane operator equipment operator. But I always come back to carpentry
Everything from the process the sketching the cutting the precision to the never stop learning projects. Thanks Scott
The diverse and free exercise is a major plus. The social interaction and education you get to give to home owners is always fun too. You nailed pretty much everything else as well. Along with the con about too many tools, the amount of parts and adapters and options for tools and disposable things for tools you have to keep up on, and I do a lot of finish/drywall/painting as well so allll of those types of consumables you are constantly keeping inventory of. With that though its fun learning about new products, how products work and with material the chemical make up of things and how they function and react to stuff I've always taken an interest to and love sharing on.
Before I started as a builder I use to look at tools and think how awesome it would be to own a tool box full of all these tools. Now that i own a toolbox as a builder my biggest con is having a toolbox full of tools in my boot every day.
Definitely love how you are always doing something different as a carpenter lot of different steps and I never get bored with it
One of my favorite parts about Carpentry is getting to hang out with Scott Brown and Chef Paerau. Great video, wicked editing skills!
Great video Scott, right on point.
Carpentry is a skillset for life, The job and art of Carpentry teaches you discipline. If you look you will notice a good Carpenter is one of the most respected people on a Construction site and among the public.
Hey Scott love your 12 makita track on the wall 🥴
You need a proper van
Lwb transit
I agree with everything you have just said about joinery
Still the best trade though I recon 👍
Great vid, good topic. Couldn't agree more.
youre dad reminds me of mine a bit. thanks for doing this one. Its just helpful to see someone that enjoys carpentry.
Iv been looking in to becoming a carpenter for some time now and your videos have convinced me to take the leap and really try to get an aprentaship
As someone who is learning/preparing to become a carpenter this video is helpful to see the little bit of insight on what some of the thing that are good and bad about the job are.
I like this way of telling your story! Awsome video!
Hey Scott, Just love watching your Channel. You r smart, you work way harder. it really gets my lazy butt off the Chair. lol
Like: The satisfaction of seeing it competed!
Dislike: Having to leave an incomplete job to go do work on another site.
What i like about my job as a carpenter is the never ending opportunities to learn and improve.
One thing I don’t like is working outside in the summer here. Even the winter with freezing temperatures and rain aren’t as bad as how hot it gets. I can handle it good enough, but it costs a lot of energy... and my colleagues always complain too much about the weather, lol.
That van is so frigging awesome, dude. The seafoam stripes up the side are the perfect touch.
Scott love the videos man.
👍 Great advice! Applicable for whatever we do.
Best- variety of work
Worst- babysitting all the other tradies
Lol yup same in canada
Job satisfaction no 1 to me. Scott mentioned insurance, that's a big 1. Other trades on sites, arrr. I always clean up around where I work, unfortunately all to often other trades treat the job sites as a rubbish tip. Anyway Scotty hope the lasagne was tasty. I might start a YT channel called the tasty tradie as I can cook, even tho I have a wife who should be tending to those duties lol. Waiting now for angry replies.
So true, we always come in last and have to "correct" or hide all the mistakes made by others. But if we miss 1mm, oh boy everyone hears about it. :D
Awesome video!!
I like to see a great product that you made and i enjoy somebody else enjoyning from what you made
Pro. Gaining the skills to fix your own house. Change a entry door. Siding. Base and case Etc.
Con. Having to come home after a 10-12 hour shift to change a door. Redo your siding. Etc.
Hillbert 08 hahahaha truth
Hillbert 08 however it’s a very expensive cost we avoid by being able to do it ourselves
That s the 26 grit truth
Buzzy in work ... but allways time for a new episode of Scott Brown
Lots of opportunity to improve people's lives through careful design and execution.
Noise and dust the too oft reality , becomes a call to arms, as did 'fire in the hole!'
Thank you for what brings you joy
Hey Scott great video
I’m sorry your dad could’ve been more understanding and listen to you and congratulate you on your videos! you’re still getting your jobs done and earning money
my favourite is when a customer calls me up and tells me they have half a day or a days work that they want a price for,
Thats a great idea for the next Video...working on a project with you dad dude. That would be great!!
Like: Getting in over my head with a complicated hard project and then completing it. Learning and working👌🏼 knowledge is king
Dislike: not getting paid by clients.
Bro been slowly working through your vids, nice cruisie materials, I like you style
And every episode should be exciting. Stick with it brother 🤙🏼👍🏼
Enjoyed your video ur dad still has a good sense of humour
Mate you sed spot on about all those tools 😂😂🛠🛠 I’m thinking all about that as well 😂
But I love it
Perfect video bro
Pros: Stepping back at the end of the day and seeing what you made from the materials at hand. Problem solving. Seeing the client totally stoked with their dreams come to life!
Cons: seeing clients dream house and not your own.
It took the clients their whole life time getting there. How can helping them achieve that be a con man?
@@akobanz some yes some no
its great if you can leave your tools on the job it makes it so awesome to go back into work in a matter of seconds be right where you left off, and also changing it up framing one day and drywall or something the next. it keeps your skills sharpe.
Pros - variety of work and always learning something
Cons - hauling your tools and looking for that one tool you need that wasn't hauled and mistakes can be quite expensive
Yep those cos are spot on. I end up with triple of everything from having to buy tools rather than stress over finding or remembering them.
Had to look up this Smoko comment. I had never seen the Chats music video previously. I am US based. Lucky me, it looks like The Chats will be coming to a state near me in less then a month.
I get the lots of tools ! I’m just a home owner renovating but I’m buying tools like I’m a builder with a business ! I think I just like shooting nails.....😂 good vid Scott 👍
Pro you never stop learning there’s very little that I can’t do on a house just from being around it my whole adult life
Hi !!
Great Work! Keep it up !
I am not a pro but I get a lot of value from your videos .
Best rergard from Portugal
p.s. What is the name of the music ?
Best thing is defiantly the variety of the work, work locations, indoor/outdoor environment and the people you meet along the way. customers, other trades building relationships with suppliers. Especially if you cover all aspects of carpentry.
The downside is the fatigue when all your jobs land at once and they just have to be done no questions asked. Not enough hours in the day sometimes.
Variety is a big thing i love about my job. Often times when a job runs on longer than a few weeks i find myself dreaming about it and it's nice to know that when a job is bothering you day and night you wont always be there.
For me as a hvac tech, tight quarters when we have to replace a drain pan, just did one last week in kneewall, well 1 guy yanked the drain pan and 1 guy halfbent over trying to extend there arm all the way and hole a 40lbish a coil sideways and then you have to this in reverse
Buying all the drill bits but can never find the size when you need it.. you then buy a replacement and find the original
The best video so far without a doubt.... from all the way to Florida USA... and I whish some would do a video like this for drywall or for people over seas gibson border... I think that's how you spell it lol
Tony Esquivel have a look at maxkil's channel he's an Aus drywaller
Scott brown what a guy!!!👍🏼
Pros: Witty banter with coworkers
Cons: Difficult to access sites, this makes the work and tool loading/unloading (especially very long projects) very tedious. Also rain.
OMG... So right about the too many tools. I get so frustrated with how many tools I have to get out and set up just to make a simple false panel to cover a hole. And that's only one way; then I have to put all those tools back!! That said, I do love all my tools.
Whoop Whoop another video!
My favorite thing, having a clients house completely torn apart and they get a little worried, then putting back together better than new.
And the freedom, cant put a price on the freedom it gives you.
Love = Heaps of cool tools.
Hate = Putting heaps of tools away at the end of each day.
Hate More = putting tools away when it's raining.
I hear you there bud!
Hate Even More = Theiving c*nts always after those tools.
Over the years have had 2 whole van loads and 2 whole house loads stripped (both a job site stripped of all powertools, tools, some appliances and a caged trailer outside and also a whole house we had staged for sale of furniture and fittings). Yes, here in NZ.
True, even the smallest job, requires about 12 trips to the van
Where do you get your music from? It’s calming end enjoyable to work to. Thank you for the videos.
Haha I laughed as soon as you said too many tools, just because I know that we need way too many, and that we like to buy new things all the time
glad you get along with your dad i have 31 yr old son in the trade
Doing a sbc 1-100 during lockdown , the smallest jobs you need the whole van😂and then could be doing a whole site with a few tools
Where did u get the green tie wrap thing u wrap up ur extension leads with? 0:43 love that idea so simple, its like a memory plastic yes, did u buy it or make it.
Wow you were displaying the cutted Makita Track!
im just starting to get in to carpentry/woodworking but am currently working in my carport, would you recommend one of those storage garages as a workshop? Are you allowed to use them for other things than storage or do you have a special deal for yours?
(I also live in auckland)
I know it's sadistic, but as and ex tradey = I do get a solid laugh when you're out and about running errands and the look of sheer terror that washes over your face everytime you get back to your van and the alarm is going off. Then the relief when there is nothing wrong. Ah, the memories.
In Aus its become far more common to build a fully custome trailer so you can store everything you have in one spot. Also means you can take your business anywhere but also detach it and leave it behind safely locked away when you do normal life stuff.
That's cool that you can use a storage unit as a shop. Pretty sure that there are very few places like that in the US. Most would not have power in the first place. Others might have one outlet. But they don't want you there doing anything but drop off and pick up.
satisfaction is a big one. i've switched my photography career for carpentry for about two years, never had this amount of satisfaction daily, even if my photography work was printed in big magazines
Been a bench and site joiner for 20 plus years. That list is spot on. I'll add another hate to the list. Customers who think you can do a 5k job for 250£/€$.
"This coffee table is $200 at IKEA, can you make one like it but a little longer for cheaper?😂"
if you sold those hoodies... id definitely buy one! and im from the US :D
Con: needing a 2 hour lunchbreak to cover all the camera angle changes! 😋
So many hazards! One time the fence on my boss’ table saw wasn’t perfectly straight making material bind. So of course I had to rip small blocks to fur out the original sill and when I ripped the block the waste shot up and ripped the tips of my fingers off lol
Pro: Variety of tasks and projects, Challenging and thus satisfying to complete a challenge, Outlet for creativity, and the satisfaction at the end of the day from looking back and seeing what you created/accomplished.
Cons: 2 1/4" flooring, So many damn tools and with that comes packing and unpacking them ev'ry day
Another exciting episode.
Pro: Really 'make' something and TOOLS!
Con: Hard physical work and thing like dust.
Loved the video like always. Cheers from Holland
Amazing creativity dude.... From SriLanka
I am a scenic carpenter (theatre and Film)...
enjoy: Doing what I do that then allows others to do what they enjoy.
dont enjoy: the 4 am finishes after an 18 hour day...
Scott you are a Great Carpenter: it is a pleasure to watch your videos! Beautiful house! Nice to see you in Private you're Human like us - Ahahahah
Con - working in summer
Con - working in winter
Con - going up and down a ladder 50,000 times a day
Con - climbing through roofs and trusses with your 50,000 tools getting caught on everything
Con - knees and back completely ruined
Pro
You're not a soft girly boy because of the cons
@@geezerdownunder
Damn!
You got me.. howd ya get so clever?
My knees are flawless after all these years, my back.....trashed.
@@williamsmith9026 carpentry, I suppose :D
Too many tools. Partly why I did another apprenticeship in Bricklaying, got sick of all the tools, wearing a tool belt, loading and unloading tools and materials. Now I do all sorts of work and have even more tools 🤪 Skills is correct Scott because when you have gained the craft skills from carpentry, tiling, bricklayer etc. you can use those skills to use in other trades and jobs. Cheers
One of the things I don't like about carpentry is an occasional customer who is a cheapskate or simply doesn't have money but the job has to be done, so you are forced to do a subpar job which you know could've been done much nicer and is not going to last. And the second thing is painting ceilings.
Why is your framing lumber colored red? Just wondering, love the work!
I like how i can talk about filling holes and cracks and not get in trouble.
Speaking of sub contractors. I'd love to see a video about some of your subs down there in Kiwiland.
Hello Scott was no mention of money wages etc is that not one of your pro/cons ?
The paycek at the end 😁
Great video as always. I'm a plumber so likes and dislikes are a little different. Likes: I love finishing a boiler room and getting the system up and running. Dislike: Telling a client we have to wait to get a part to get a system back up and running, (clearing a nasty kitchen clog is a close second here). What is the music on this vid?
I'm a landscaper and do a lot of carpentry, definitely the hazards! Seen too many bad injuries. I want to become a fully qualified carpenter though and maybe look to become a project manager in the future. Anyone have any tips on where to start?
I've done that job in Auckland too, years ago. The worst part is every day we unpack the van, make a mess, clean the mess up, pack up the van. The best part is you can change a crapy house into a better house.
I look for every excuse to buy tools i love em!
By far the worst part about being a builder...... its doing long quotes that you dont get paid for, get no appreciation for, and sometimes dont even get the job
Amen to that
Yes indeed! You get good at "interviewing" and reading clients at the first meet. I have no hesitation doing a fast over-quote on jobs for this reason. My rule of thumb is "I never quote to win a job, I quote to not lose money."
Clients think quoting is a 2min job on a new build maybe yes, a renovation however there are endless hidden scenarios and although we builders can perform miracles with super human efforts we are mere mortals without XRay vision or the ability to time travel back in time to work out why or how something was built.
Quality workmanship takes time and that starts at the quote.
Hey Scott love your videos mate! I'm from Australia and I'm a month into the trade as a 1st year apprentice having a tough time right now my boss just treats me like cheap labour and the work is intense I'm looking at leaving to go to uni but then again your videos inspire me to keep going. Do you have any advice? thanks Sam
Any update on your situation
Have you quit yet
Some of My tools got stolen On Tuesday so I’ve been a little scrambled brain and missed your Instagram question, that sucks I always like chiming I’m on some Scott brown carpentry 😢
You helped make this episode bro! Started from your question when I was down in Queenstown
Fitting doors and wooden Sash windows love em cons paying for to many saw blades
Pro: I love stepping back at the end of the day and seeing what we accomplished, creates a ton of self pride.
Con: I absolutely hate all of paperwork that comes with running your own business.
Fucken eh!
You should address the problem of builders paying apprentices as contractors bro
All to common a problem. Businesses these days seem to be built on the contractor model despite the labour laws and full-time workers. What apprentices and young builders don't have the experience to understand is they need to earn double their hourly rate with the consequent overheads, costs and extra time.
What I don't like: variety betwin finish carpentry and all builder skills in NZ. A cool thing I don't get bored in one place because we travel arround the city and allways in different job sites. And the practice of the tools.
Play Fil which city are you from?
Well I m Portuguese from Porto ciry but I already work in Canada as a finish carpenter.
Pros: the work it self. Working with wood is just so much fun and really rewarding.
Cons: the pay, the health hazard, the repetition,
(once I had to sand Windows for 4 weeks straight. After that I quit and I am a wood engineer now)
Still love do carpentry though
Could you link more Tools that You or Paerau use or own in the description?
Me being an apprentice chilly myself I like learning and improving my skillset but I do not enjoy finishing as the sweeper boy at the end of the day but there is far better things that our way the bad
So...when can we buy your branded merch? I'd totally rock it here in California!
Im not even a builder or any tradesman, yet I'd totally rock it as a support to the channel, and also because this dude makes me want to learn carpentry. So completely agree with you
