Do you intend to go out solo? Maybe go builder route? If you can go back, would you pick electrical/plumbing instead?

I wish I had been a carpenter

Im 10 seconds into your video and I had to pause it really quick to ask, do you or do you have someone edit your video? The reason Im asking is the music in all these types of videos are just terrible, jazz on a Tuesday night coffee shop, type terrible and Im curious as to who makes the music and who chooses it and why? I understand it may be cheap to purchase this stuff, but man. Sorry, Im just a sour musician who is 40 and trying to become a carpenter myself. I think I should go back to playing and recording music.

Shoulda been a sparky apprentice mate....

I'm 48. Is it crazy to think I should have a crack at a building/carpentry apprenticeship?

I love your videos, thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and experience. I’ve been in the police for over 8 years, 7 years in NZ & 1 year remote in the NT. Applying for a carpentry trade has been on my heart for a long time now so just trying to pray and plan on what I should do next as I’ve got a very young family and will be quite a change. Thanks again for sharing your journey.

Brilliant, thanks so much for those measurements, well done! The load length and distance between the wheel arches was critical info me me, cheers.

how height did you make your platform to suit your drop saw?

Mine is a different brand but a single thickness of the ruler is 5mm and when doubled it's 10mm 👍

Nahh all that needs to be company provided

If you’re like me you’ll end up with 5 of each item in no time 😂

At my White card course the instructor said it's as dangerous as asbestos, it just doesn't have regulations surrounding it yet..

Great list! Thanks for the info.

This is the only van in range which allows 8by4 sheets on edge

In the past tape measures have fallen off when placed on the front like that. Are you finding that issue?

I'm a 2nd year apprentice at 37 on my third career

No matter how long your in the trade you always learn something new haha, Legend cheers mate 🤙

Hiace best van ever built not available unfortunately in Europe anymore

I'm 33 and I generally despise working with an apprentice my age or similar. Probably sounds bad but tough shit that you have an old injury playing rugby or whatever, if I'm older than you and outworking you, if you can't do it then why would you expect to get paid 2x as much as some green 18yr old that can do it?? Fuck em right their

Can you do a video on top tools for someone getting into carpentry as an 1st year apprentice

So I'm a 27-year-old nurse in New Zealand, don't really wanna do nursing anymore. Would I be okay trying to get an apprenticeship if I literally know nothing about carpentry? Do they teach you from scratch I mean?

My favourite way is score and snap knife, but usually cut with the fc cutters.

I got sponserbiliries now 😂

Thanks bro. I am a kiwi builder, early 50's looking to change thing's up for comfort more then anything. Dont want to waste money so on a research mission.

Keep it up mate! Love the videos and the journey

4th year! Wow! Keep it up! I'm continuing on my journey. Got some practical classes for my Cert 2 Electrotechnology course this week! Then will be one step closer to getting that apprenticeship!

What were you doing before you started the apprentiship? What pay should we expect as an old apprentice mid 30s first year in Melbourne?

Какой год производства автомобиля?

Thanks for a great vid! It sounds like an exciting journey with both ups and downs. Im looking to go into a apprenticeship myself, but i am scared since i have no experience what so ever with carpentery. However i have a dream of becoming a great carpenter so i just have to go for it 100% and work my ass off.

Your video 2 years ago about this topic versus this one is shocking. You look and sound x10 better 😂

That tape holster needs to go on the back or something just watching is annoying me positioned there. Suspenders look good I don’t see the hype with this product though.

You got half of Bunnings on that belt 😂

How old are you at this time?

I just bought the flex stack pack drawers system. It’s so solid. These makita systems look cheap as heck

Did you do any sort of pre trade?

what lube do you use ?

if only you could get a tradesman to teach you, most where i live are a holes who want you to pay them.

How do I apply for a carpenter job

That very nice work!!!! I am amaze by your work!!!!!

Funny, this video popped up in my feed after I started considering an apprenticeship at the age of 50! And I never even searched for a single video on the subject.:)

I found your channel when you first began and I identified with you! At the time I was living in Mexico, working as a teacher. But that was not what I really wanted. I have always wanted to get into a trade, but in Mexico trades pay very poorly and there is no room for advancement. Fast forward to today, I'm 42 going on 43, my family and I have moved to Sydney, I have retired from teaching, and I am now studying my Cert II Electrotechnology pre-apprenticeship course. I hope to get a electrical apprenticeship this year. Thanks for your videos! Keep it up!

Too old*

Thanks so much for posting this! I’m a 38 year old artist and I’m in the process of joining the carpenters union. I’ve had my interview and skills assessment and I’m eager to start working!

when will makita ever upgrade their system, I'm jealous of all the festool boys, but that stuff is way too expensive for me and I'd like to collect the same brand of tools and not have a bunch of different brands 😅

cat's paw? in canada it's called a FU-bar, usually used when you need a correction. where's the chalk line?

What type of draw runners did you use ??

Hey man, thanks for the content. I am currently looking to do a mature age apprenticeship being 32 years old and this is definitely insight I want to see and know. I realise this was done 2 years ago but keen to watch your journey.

Love those shears mate, was that sped up ?😉

I’m 24 and about to go into the trades in the big ol US of A.

Hm
