Being a person of intergity matters. Your videos are surely helpful and enjoyable, even if your not building a house, I always learn somethings to apply on another project.
Excellent advice! Business relationships matter. Being a person of intergity matters. It's not always about the bottom line, sometimes it's about doing what's right for your loyal customers. 💪🌩️🪵
When you say that you hope some of the videos are helpful, YOU ARE WRONG! ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS ARE HELPFUL! Even watching your videos more than once I learn things I missed in the prior viewings. You not only teach specific lessons but also teach a mindset or rhythm to building in general. So don’t worry about being repetitive because building is repetitive! Thank you! You deserve what you get from RUclips. You are only harvesting what you have planted and you have worked extremely hard to share you knowledge and experience with us.
I love being outside working with my hands in any way and always eager to learn something new. That’s 30% of why I watch your videos. The other 70%, and why I subscribed, is because of your character. I always appreciate the your positivity, humor, and overall demeanor. You never know how you can change someone’s day just by being kind.
Ken, you thanked us the subscriber(s). Now, let me thank you sir. Many of us are small business owners or sole proprietors. I enjoy your calm demeanor and patient but efficient work ethic. You're a direct representation of what we are in the small business trades. A work truck, a trailer (tool box), & a man or two chasing leads and working hard & honest and heading back home every day to enjoy our families. Please let it be no surprise why we all subscribe and view your channel. Watching your content encourages me to keep at it during these times of uncertainty and fluctuation that affect us all directly. I enjoy your attitude and your keep-at-it ethic. Thank YOU for producing informative and encouraging content!
Pretty simple to understand why your channel is so popular - you are simply a decent and likable man who instantly connects with your viewers. Over the 2022 Christmas holidays I have viewed many of your show and read every comment written in those videos. You do a great job with the videos and the work, you have a great crew, a wonderful daughter who is definitely a 'chip of the old block', so to speak. She has a great sense of humor and a real presence whenever she appears. She can be a star in her own right. Btw, I saw you make a reference or funny gesture in one of your videos where you pretended to paint a landscape and give some light commentary. Obviously in reference to the great Bob Ross. You are the Bob Ross of carpentry shows. Thanks a million
About reaching that 100K mark, it's all about you Ken, your are charming, calm, always so polite and just an all-round awesome human being! This assessment is coming from the viewer's angle, which is important because this is what we see and hear. And, yes, your videos are surely helpful and this one, for instance, it's like having a conversation with you. And of course, you build the best garages! Congratulations and we will watch as your channel continues to grow!
It's been many years since I've seen lumber that is perfectly straight and not warped in a lumber yard. That's why I get mad when I see an older house demolished where they make no effort to save any of the old, perfectly straight lumber. They just smash it to pieces, load the mess into a dumpster truck, and haul it away to the land fill. What a waste of good wood!
Your videos are all very well done, also you are a honest person, a hard worker and a man who keeps his word ,thanks for update, everyone stay safe, have a good day.
I've grown up in the lumber business because of my Dad. He ended up opening up a Door Shop, shelving, trim and hardware. It was the best part of my career. Congratulations on your subscriber count. Just a Arizona gal 🏜
Congratulations on your 101K subscribers Ken. I just found you today and subscribed because of the honest and informative video you did exposing the "sea of stockpiled lumber" in your area. I think you are right in saying that it is not all about greed (which I'm sure some of it is), but is complicated by the logistics of getting the product to market. I saw on the news last night that there is a 35% decline in the number of truck drivers in our country. Thanks for your great reporting. I look forward to following you regularly.
It's the same here in England. We have a shortage of lorry drivers, our fuel is around £6 a gallon, plus covid restrictions stop a lot of quantity being moved. I could not find a bag of cement or sand last week at 2 large suppliers. That made the prices go up at the only guy in town who had some left! Keep your videos coming. They are informative, educational. And relaxing.
Very often I check prices at both places .. which involves a lot of foot work for the big box .. like you said they're hard to get on the phone. Also some things you get get better deals on at the box .. but as quality lumber goes I like to do all my business with the mom and pops. They're our neighbors and families. And they're the backbone of America ! Cheers Ken !
Thank you for keeping a positive attitude and not bashing others but rather understanding why they do what they do. We are all just people living our life whether we work in big box stores or Mom and Pop.
Thanks for keeping us up to date with all of this stuff. I understand that OSB & Plywood are so high because the storm they had in Texas damaged the resin plants and they supply 40% of all the resin . Resin is needed for gluing the plys thgether. All of out eggs in one basket again. Seems we never learn.
If anyone should be referred to as a "straight shooter" that would be you. I think that quality in you is why I subscribed and watch religiously. Congratulations on 100k.
In wake of all the mayhem, the local lumber yards are now too busy. That great customer service is no more. I've been trying to get a take off list from my local yard for 3 months. I finally got one from a neighboring town Ace Hardware. Thanks for the share. I enjoy your updates.
For all of its warts, one neat thing about social media is how a simple guy pounding nails up in Vermont can become a celebrity of sorts! Your videos remind me of growing up in the ‘70’s and working summers with my dad doing room additions and covered porches around our small Midwestern town! Congratulations on your RUclips success......!!!!
One of my favorite channels! Your video, audio, attitude, and presentation are all excellent. You don't ramble. You say what needs to be said, clearly, plainly, politely. Thank you! I don't watch TV anymore. I watch RUclips and you are one of the reasons why. Don't try to figure it out, just keep doing what you do! Thanks for sharing!
Trucking/logistics is a real issue right now...it’s affecting a lot of industries (lumber, steel, polymer/plastics, etc). The manufacturer or mill can ramp back up or turn out as much as they want (if they can get the labor to do the work, which is another issue entirely)...but getting goods to market has been a serious thorn in the side for many these days. As always, great video! Another lifetime ago, I spent years working at a local mom ‘n pop lumber & building center...lots of great relationships made there and experience gained...no possible comparison to the big box chains...a completely different niche.
The big box stores have their place and are handy but when it comes to lumber, I have spent hours looking through the piles to find good pieces. Where as in the lumber yard it was only minutes and I found that the lumber yard in my area had prices that matched or were lower then the big box store. The big plus to the local lumber yard is the staff are helpful and always available. The few times their lumber prices were higher was so little it was worth it for the joy of being helped by friendly and knowledge staff
I’m a garage door installer in Massachusetts and we’re seeing shortages and very long lead times on doors and now springs. I just figured I would mention this so you can look into getting doors now just in case there is a real lack of supply. 4 week lead time doors are now 8-12 and some products we just can’t get.
The nice thing about the big box stores is that you can pick and choose the lumber you want.....good for a small project. They usually have a bigger and wider selection of IN STORE products. Here in Canada, we have a country wide chain called Home Hardware that is made up of franchises which work a lot like small mom and pop places. The one here in Fergus, and most of the other ones nearby are great to work with. Much more knowledgeable and great to work with if you have questions or want to do special orders. They are also more likely to work out special pricing. Love your videos and comments!
Thanks for the great content. I spend a lot of time chasing lumber and lumber prices for the sheds I build. It’s beyond bad now. Congrats on 101k subscribers !
Thanks for the update and advice. I finally found someone to build a 3 car garage and he’s going to start in June. I hope it turns out as nice as what you build.
Thanks Ken, have a good week! It looks like we are getting some much needed rain! Not good for working outside, but we need it! Be safe! From Northern Vermont
Great Job Ken. I'm here because your willing to be honest and actually share information regarding pricing, ways to do specific things so that the common DYI guy like me can learn from your years of experience on specific things I have going on in my own home improvement, barn building, etc. Keep up the good work, and congrats on the 100K subscribers. I know I'm only 1, but you treat us all like we are the 1.
I have worked n 2 family owned lumber yards over the last 30 years. The way i have always done business is that i view my customers as friends and fellow employees. They are doing there part to sell my product just as much as i am. we work as a team to provide the homeowner with a good experience. I often recommend my contractors for different projects depending on their "specialties". i have built many friendships over the years by keeping their best interest at heart as well as my employers. Stick in that happy medium and we all benefit!
I make furniture so I use mostly hardwood. I drive an hour to my hardwood dealer for the same reasons you were saying. The floor manager is helpful and works with me on prices, along with informing me on what costs more or less and why. Well worth the 2 hour round trip
Congratulations on the 100K subscribers! You deserve 1M! Your videos are definitely helpful. Thank you for making them. The best thing that I like about them is how humble and down to earth you are! God bless you!
It’s all about the individual you deal with, big or small. I’ve found some great people at big box that want to work with you, the majority just want their check and each lunch. Also some really rural stores can charge high prices because location. You really need to form relationships, know your prices, and shop around.
Hey, nice lumber rack! I bought that System One rack for my GMC in 2004 and love it. I don't see too many of them in the PNW. It's the integrated winches that make such a huge difference.
I also LOVE my local Sawyer's! If they have a stamp then you are golden. I like to do do timber frame and clear, true dimensional/odd dimensional is murderously expensive through the Bigg box store retail chain.
I started using steel products to replace wood where i can. It’s cheaper, lighter and you can get bulk-buy discounts on it. Not ideal, but sometimes works out better for boxing things in, strapping ceilings, running steel tracks for top and bottom plates for walls (non load bearing), etc.
My contractor who is building my garage got my 8ft studs today 05/07/2021 for $8.00 a board at Lowe's. The local lumber company wanted $13.00 a stud. He decided to get different materials by shopping around. I guess I'm lucky he has been my best friend for 51 years.
In Seattle area we have Dunn lumber, go in place your order and they deliver what you want or a person takes you to the yard to help you load. This compared to big box cart and self load..
I must say Kent great video I think this should be a discussion on what is really going on as us as contractors when I used to get 15% off because I’m a contractor lately it’s been more less 5% or 2% It’s almost like most contracting lumber supply companies are pushing away from the discount for contractors and still understand why
I love my local independent hardware store. They don't have the best price on everything, but they do the best they can. Plus on long materials they will deliver to me for free.
I am in retirement mode.... currently.... I/we had a great partnership with a local supplier, 50+ years in business....made it hard to compete with Lowe's.... big difference in service.... mom and pop would throw out bad lumber before sending to job site..... Lowe (big box) would send you what ever was in the rack at the time....in their defense, you could sort and return to the store.... good channel Ken
Big box in anything is my last resort. A personal relationship with the local guy will save you in the long run.
You are 100% right. You can't ever get in touch with anyone you need to talk to at the big box. Its like playing phone tag for an hour.
Being a person of intergity matters. Your videos are surely helpful and enjoyable, even if your not building a house, I always learn somethings to apply on another project.
Thanks
Excellent advice! Business relationships matter. Being a person of intergity matters. It's not always about the bottom line, sometimes it's about doing what's right for your loyal customers. 💪🌩️🪵
Congratulations on hitting the one hundred thousand mark !! Cheers !!
When you say that you hope some of the videos are helpful, YOU ARE WRONG!
ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS ARE HELPFUL! Even watching your videos more than once I learn things I missed in the prior viewings. You not only teach specific lessons but also teach a mindset or rhythm to building in general. So don’t worry about being repetitive because building is repetitive!
Thank you! You deserve what you get from RUclips. You are only harvesting what you have planted and you have worked extremely hard to share you knowledge and experience with us.
Haha thanks
I second all of that!!!
Ive been a carpenter for 25 yrs. From my experience… fellas like you are the salt of the earth. Great channel Sir.
Excellent point -building relationships with the local suppliers-Thanks

It’s always a bright spot in my day, when Ken drops another video ! Thanks !
Thanks for watching
You have voiced my main frustration with Big Box & their phone issues. So taxing on the customer. 😩
Big box stores I can never find straight or knot free boards.
Rejects are placed at the top of the pile. They hope you settle for that , without digging into virgin territory. 😉
It's been many years since I've seen lumber that is perfectly straight and not warped in a lumber yard. That's why I get mad when I see an older house demolished where they make no effort to save any of the old, perfectly straight lumber. They just smash it to pieces, load the mess into a dumpster truck, and haul it away to the land fill. What a waste of good wood!

Thank you for keeping a positive attitude and not bashing others but rather understanding why they do what they do. We are all just people living our life whether we work in big box stores or Mom and Pop.
Thanks Ken, great content! Appreciate the way you communicate and your timely discussion of topics.
You are an honest man. Great to see your work ethic and knowledge! May God bless you even more! Thanks for the videos!

So good to see that Lyndonville on the truck. Wheeler's was the place I always went to. Then Topo's of course!
Where I live here in Delaware all the mom and pop hardware stores were put out of business by the big box corporations. Congrats Ken on 100k subs!
You're the best Ken, keep up the great work and keep sharing your journey. God Bless you!

You've helped this old dog with those framing stands and organizational skills, Thank you !! 🙌🙌

👍 best process is to take the time to check around, esp. for quantities! Lots of overhead for bigbox!!
A no-nonsense, informative, entertaining and clean channel like yours is why you've reached 102k subs so quickly. God bless you Ken!
great work ken, proud to support you, your business and your channel.

Thanks that means a lot to me.
Thanks ken you liking making videos shows your by far my favorite channel I love your work ethic 👍
Thanks John
Big congrats to you, your channel and your team Ken! I appreciate your sincerity and candor.
This man has common sense apparently a rare quality these days. If you were anywhere near me I would use your services in a second.
I make furniture so I use mostly hardwood. I drive an hour to my hardwood dealer for the same reasons you were saying. The floor manager is helpful and works with me on prices, along with informing me on what costs more or less and why. Well worth the 2 hour round trip

Glad to subscribe to your excellent channel, Ken. I always learn something new. You are an excellent teacher.
It’s all about the individual you deal with, big or small.
I’ve found some great people at big box that want to work with you, the majority just want their check and each lunch. Also some really rural stores can charge high prices because location. You really need to form relationships, know your prices, and shop around.
I enjoy your videos Ken
Thank you
So glad you hit 100,000 subscribers!
Great work!
Great channel I watch it all the time. You are very informative and helpful.
I really enjoyed listening to you👍 thanks for the info and all that you do.
Hey, nice lumber rack! I bought that System One rack for my GMC in 2004 and love it. I don't see too many of them in the PNW. It's the integrated winches that make such a huge difference.
Ken , I really enjoy your videos. I’m too far away to hire you , but I learn a lot from you about what a good garage builder should look like 👍
Thank you Ken!! Love the videos.
Such a calm nice man
I also LOVE my local Sawyer's! If they have a stamp then you are golden. I like to do do timber frame and clear, true dimensional/odd dimensional is murderously expensive through the Bigg box store retail chain.
I really enjoy deck building projects also.
Congratulations on passing 100k subs brother!!! You are great.
I started using steel products to replace wood where i can. It’s cheaper, lighter and you can get bulk-buy discounts on it. Not ideal, but sometimes works out better for boxing things in, strapping ceilings, running steel tracks for top and bottom plates for walls (non load bearing), etc.
Love your videos, keep up your good works! ❤️
Thanks
@@kenskarpentry your welcome 🙏
Thanks Ken.
Thanks for watching
Love the channel Ken! Here’s to another 100k! Praying for a decrease in lumber prices soon!!!
100K subscribers nice job Ken. I couldn’t agree with you more about having good relationships in business.😀
My contractor who is building my garage got my 8ft studs today 05/07/2021 for $8.00 a board at Lowe's. The local lumber company wanted $13.00 a stud. He decided to get different materials by shopping around. I guess I'm lucky he has been my best friend for 51 years.
Ken say what you feel don't worry about it thanks for the tips
Congratulations on 100 k...!!!
enjoy your success.... excellent channel
Hi, Ken just subbed to your channel...I appreciate your honesty and all the good tips you are giving out...Thank you 👍😎❤
Thank you for the great videos Ken
In Seattle area we have Dunn lumber, go in place your order and they deliver what you want or a person takes you to the yard to help you load. This compared to big box cart and self load..
Good morning Ken. Keep up the good work!
I enjoy watching your videos, too.
I must say Kent great video I think this should be a discussion on what is really going on as us as contractors when I used to get 15% off because I’m a contractor lately it’s been more less 5% or 2% It’s almost like most contracting lumber supply companies are pushing away from the discount for contractors and still understand why
Thanks Kenny for putting up these videos and updates
👏 Congratulations on your 100,000. Best Wishes for continuing success.
God Bless you Ken
Thanks Ken I enjoy your videos.
Damn, I wanted to see how you fastened the other side of that joist hanger. 🤣
I love my local independent hardware store. They don't have the best price on everything, but they do the best they can. Plus on long materials they will deliver to me for free.
I am in retirement mode.... currently.... I/we had a great partnership with a local supplier, 50+ years in business....made it hard to compete with Lowe's.... big difference in service.... mom and pop would throw out bad lumber before sending to job site..... Lowe (big box) would send you what ever was in the rack at the time....in their defense, you could sort and return to the store.... good channel Ken
All your videos are helpful. Keep up the good work!👍
Thanks
You’re a solid dude, Ken.
Thanks
