    I wish I could have you as a journeyman the gap of knowledge between your generation and mine is fleeting if not lost completely. I’m a third year concrete carpenter and you just taught me more in 15 minutes than I’ve learned in 2 years and 2 different footings.

    I've been working in the trades in various arenas for a couple decades now, starting as a young teenager working with my dad. I've had a lot of men teach me how things should be done and why they should be done, several of whom were master craftsmen, but Mr. Wadsworth, sir, I was never lucky enough to have a teacher of your caliber. I can count the men I truly respect on my fingers with room to spare and you number among them. You'll have in me a faithful viewer for as long as you care to make videos.

    Wow, 13 episodes and you still haven't started pouring concrete. I'm not complaining, I just had no idea how much prep work went in before you even got to really "building".

    Kinda quoting your words... "when someone flairs up because they have been asked to clarify their process and are too insecure to clarify their approach, in turn becoming argumentative and difficult to work with" one of the greatest pieces of advise and well said. I work as a sole contractor most of the time and get sub contractors to do the work that I am unqualified to do and this can be a difficult road to go down when faced with subcontractors ego's. Its gold when you find good people to work with, hold onto them! Good relationships are key to smooth and successful projects.

    You don't see this kind of work anymore, especially in the small concrete companies. The bigger commercial companies might do better work like this but all the guys I have to bid against would NEVER do work like this, so I having to constantly deal with explaining to customers why my price is ALWAYS the highest bid. Usually lowest bid wins but when a customer has high concerns for quality then I typically win the bid due to our reviews

    There's a science to everything, thanks for the info on how the contracting/construction world works.

    As a contractor I love your thoughts on customer-trade relations there. A customer shouldn't but a trades chops but they shouldn't be afraid to ask questions either. And anyone worth their salt will be able to talk about it with a customer.

    i saw how you wrapped up that extension cord. I do that all the time, you should make a video explaining it. Great episode as usual.
