Can I be a carpenter at 50

This is so inspiring. I'm not a tradeswoman but Ive been gardening growing veg for years so I've now got myself an allotment (plot for gardening in the UK) and it's requiring me to learn a lot of new skills to prep it for gardening like building raised beds, fixing the shed and other woodwork projects as well as all the manual digging. I've been feeling v tired doing it and a bit overwhelmed when I go to places like the timber merchants as its out of my comfort zone. I'm single so have to do it all myself and sometimes I feel envious of women who have husbands to do all the woodwork. Seeing these women reminds me I can do it, I just have to pace myself. I'm loving learning the skills.

Every Sister I’ve had the pleasure of working with were all bad asses. 💪🏽🛠️

We're not all blue!

I'm hoping to start an apprenticeship in carpentry at 27 years old! I've worked in retail, hospitality, community and had an office job at one point too. I haven't found any of them very satisfying but when I think about building and fixing things, that gets me excited! Thank you all the ladies who shared their stories in this video. I'm feeling motivated and inspired!

I’m a woman in the trades. I joined the trades right out of high school and It’s been nothing but hell. Covid screwed up my apprenticeship program. My first crew I worked with was sexist and told me I’ll never be as strong as a man. Ran into health issues that has screwed up many opportunities. Now I struggle to find work. I even had a guy tell me “I didn’t know you were a girl, I don’t want to hire you, I want to hire a big strong man.”

I worked as a carpenter for 35 year's, it takes a very strong man to do most of it. But sure they could build cabinets or fences and light jobs, but not where a mans gods given strength is needed.

4:41 she the tough cookie on her to me cause she doing hard work at such and old age Nothing but raw respect

I'm excited to watch :)

I'm really drawn to carpentry because I'm the happiest when I'm outside, when I have clear goal with whatever I'm doing, when I'm making something look nice, when I feel productive and useful. I'm 24 and want to go to school for something, because everything I thought I wanted to do I no longer want (pursuing art/creative hobbies). But I'm scared of carpentry because of the risk of injuries... I know that's a dumb reason to not give it a chance.. but i know there's some good odds of getting real hurt in this field :/

Worked with em,total joke,useless

No worries ladies. I didnt know of the benefits and opportunities of being a union carpenter either. Wish I did sooner.

I love this! I can’t wait to start mine ❤️

Well done and a shout out to all the workers featured! Wow!

I have an interview at my local carpenters union on Friday! I really want to do this for my career, so here's hoping I get in.

This is cool in the arab world, women are not allowed to do hard work. Very encouraging though ladies.

Excellent. (I think you made a mistake showing that picture of the Porta potty, it's definitely more fun watching people figure that one out themselves) but there is one thing that is worth adding. The trades have been marginalized as lower paying jobs for people that couldn't hack it in school. Formal education works for some people but not all. Ask yourself a simple question, did the work being shown in this video strike a chord and wake something up in you? If yes give it a try. If it's not your thing then go to college or do whatever else calls you but I would caution about starting with college. Once you get locked in to debt pursuing an interest it turns out you hate, you're kind of screwed. I tell people this way, I would rather have a deed to a house that a Certificate of Smartness. And now to piss people off. If you hate high school, quit. Start working with your hands. An education on the job site is far more valuable for many of us then wasting time on facts, theory and whatever. You will never use algebra unless you teach it and you will never need to know how disected frogs work unless you're going to be a biologist. But but but it's important!!! No it isn't. It's a hobby. Watch videos about it at night after work if it's interesting then go back to supporting yourself and your family. People that disagree with this are the same people that think college is the only way to be a complete person and don't recognize swinging a hammer as an 'education'. It Damn well is.

Union workers are lazy

You in the US seems back to the roots meanwhile here in the UK it's just backwards kind of for women... Working on visiting you guys and get a job overthere...

I loved this so much, thank you so much for sharing. I’m going into my apprenticeship next month and was super nervous. I feel so much better watching this ❤️

Do you get paid while doing the apprenticeship?

I am a female Red Seal Joiner and high school woodworking teacher up in BC Canada. Hell yeah girls, Hell yeah!

The undeniable, historical, empirical truth is: 1. Every woman, who gets a tradesman job, is a job, a man didn't get, Regardless of qualification. 2. Every woman working, is a woman not at home, taking care of the home, children and preparing for her husband's arrival home, to care for his every want, needs and desires. 3. Every woman working, her dependency upon her husband is diminished. Her hypergamous nature is empowered, via self financial provisioning, outside of her husband. The marriage will NOT LAST.

GRIT Girls Representing in Trades

Women comprise of 50% of the population, yet only 2-15% of workers in construction. I’m so glad my company Soulful Design and Builds is changing that by being the only, largest all-minority women construction company in all of the US and probably the world.

Women wait for men to build up society and then berate us for telling them their REAL roles.

Amazing women

I don't get why people go so crazy about women in the trades.

Big challenge from a thirty year tradeswomen ready to retire. Women are usually shorter

I really want to do this

I just started my carpentry/equipment operations certifications last week. This video gave me so much hope in the trade.

This makes me so proud to be a carpenter ! 👷🏻‍♀️

LOVE THIS!

Didn't that girl@ 1:18 just now put up a ledger on that framing with a corded drywall gun?!?😂😂😂

I am a carpenter myself. I have faced a lot of harassment, death threats, bullying, multiple rape attempts, threats and etc. I reported these to my union president and he said "what did you expect when you got into it". I can't take it anymore. It's been years of subhuman conditions, I just want to die. I the world, it is a lonely and cruel place and I don't see why I would live in it anymore.

I love this, i live in the uk. And i love doing this type of work. And i an considering going into this! I hope i find a good Organization to go into

I am very proud of the carpenter I am becoming. Thank you sisters in the brotherhood

I'm hoping to make the switch from office worker to carpenter. I have no idea where to start but I have been 100x happier since I realized what I want to do with my life!

I did construction for 35 years. I built numerous house and a lot of barns for dairy and poultry. I did lots of form work. I only ever had one female carpenter for about 5 years. She had good skills, great work ethic, fit in great, could climb like squirrel and was a very good worker. She was great on house construction, she found the barn stuff tougher as everything you touch is heavier. A 60 ft truss is a different matter than a 30 ft truss. 30 ft up is different that 15 ft up (although she could climb) However she NEVER quit. I used to tell her sometimes don't kill yourself here. No quit in her at all...I suppose she felt she had to prove herself every day. Stave silos were tough for her ...she could climb and had no fear of heights but was really not quite strong enough for heavy materials at height, Great young woman and a dandy employee. She gravitated to finish after a while and did great. On top of it all she was fun to have around...she could take it and give it right back. All the crew respected her. Electrician is a great trade for women. Lighter work but still very skill and neatness oriented. Guys I know in heavy construction LOVE female excavator operators. They are diligent, careful and do not beat up the gear.

Go get them girls. It is good to see you out there practicing a craft which will continue to pay you well. Back in the 70's and 80's back in New York it was unheard of to see a woman carpenter or plumber or other craft person who was a woman. Men thought that women where capable of working like men did. Now I see women on the worksite doing everything from carpentry to electrical work and making really good money. Good job girls. Once again you have proven that a woman can do anything that a man can do, and in some cases even better. Keep up the good work and laugh your way all the way to the bank.

I love these women so much. They are the back bone of this country. I can't praise them enough. God bless everyone of them. Mothers, Carpenters and Craft Women are the best. I observed their hard work and ability to work around some men who tried to get them fired because they are women. These women are smart and intelligent people. Love em all.

🤣🤣🤣A MUSICAL GENIUS!!! 👏👏👏
