I'm 28 but few years ago had the exact same situation with someone! I was a kitchen installer he was the head installer and no one ever work with him. He was over the top picky with you work but you don't see him do it towards his and he had major trust issues with people instantly because of the past. Which I can understand but come on man u cant label someone the same when they are not the same person. I tried so hard to get along with all the reasons people hated to work with him because I new a lot already but new I could learn from him as well I just got to get on his good side. Well my attempts didn't work at first till I blew up on him myself for him being nit picky but I had evidence of 10x worse on his end. He also went into silence and said no ones ever said that to me like that and we started to get along, was just a few weeks later he was making sure I was with him 24/7 going into all the homes and showing me a few little different tricks I didn't know which was helpful! I know have been working for myself for the past year but want my journeyman!
My Hubby is 34 and he just joined a private company and he's already learning the ins and outs of Framing, Construction, Carpentry, Electrical and Plumbing, he's been watching your videos to study!
Awesome and thanks for the encouragement. Good luck as he moves forward, you're always learning!🍀🍺 Thanks again for watching and please Subscribe.
I wish I worked more with guys with your mentality. Most dudes are very angry. You should do a video on why that seems the norm.
You're right, angry men with issues. Let's do our very best to give our trade a good reputation! That's all we can do, be an influencer!
I started a job with no experience in carpentry I did do a few projects in school took construction 1 and 2 in highschool but the owner/boss told me oh don’t you worry we will teach you everything you need to know the guys I worked with had zero patience didn’t want to teach me I didn’t have any guidance they just called me names and told me this kinda stuff wasn’t for me even tho all I wanted was to do a good job and learn as much as possible I think their anger comes from alcohol or drugs they all did something after work drank or something I ended up leaving that job I’m planning on going to school for a year for this carpenters assistant program to learn more I’d like to build my own house some day and these angry guys are making it hard
Thanks for sharing. Don't give up on your dreams because of some loser., Right? I've worked on crews like that before, so don't hang your future on people like that. I'm telling you, you can make good money I'm the trades business! Hang in there! Thanks for watching. 🍀👍🍺
don't give up on your dreams man! there's a bunch of losers out there just try your best to ignore them and don't take anything they say to heart. stick with it and it will reward you in the end
Its cutthroat, you learnt a lesson.
Don't let your first run--in discourage you, There are a lot of 'know-it-all' out there that are total losers, and they razz the newby's cause they don't know Jack. Learn all you can up front, and keep learning, find the right crew, even if it takes a couple of tries, and stick with it. I've trained a lot of guys that never did this work before, and even some seasoned carpenters that never did the specialized work we do, and I can tell up front if they can handle the work or not, the guys who come in with an attitude, don't last long.
Hey bro that’s the mentality don’t give up don’t quit and don’t let someone’s home problems bring you down that’s there problem u are focus and eye of the tiger before you know u will be laughing looking at your own home build with your wife and kids 👍🏼😎💯🙏

Just started a union apprenticeship in Chicago. I've been enjoying your videos and I really appreciate all of the tips. This kind of video is very helpful because while there's a lot of videos on skills and tools and whatnot, there's not as much on attitude and similar intangibles. Thanks for sharing your experience :)
Good luck and stay focused. Thanks for watching and please Subscribe 🍀🍺
😂😂Love the GOAT story lol. Been an apprentice for about a year now and like you said just showing up and working hard really got me in a good spot. Great video
Awesome! Keep up the great work! Thanks for watching and please Subscribe!🍀🍺
Story with the goat was great.
People with good intentions who just don't see that little thing they're doing, and end up feeling deep gratitude for the one that had the ability/care to stop them and tell them in a respectable way. Good stuff.
You got that right! Thanks for watching and please Subscribe 🍀🍺
Im 19 years old and started working with my uncle and his friends super helpful video. No more music on the job site and like you said gotta positively represent the Company. I had my first day 3 days go they want me back tomorrow I'm very excited. I am Thankful I proved myself the first day enough to get a call back for more work!

I definitely had my share of goats on the field. And you are absolutely right about confronting them at the right time. Great video, and new subscriber !
Have a blessed day
You got that right Jorge! Thanks my friend
Funny story. My lead carpenter is basically your version of goat and he’s the boss on site when the owner isn’t there. I’m in a conundrum because I’m not trying to “be the boss” but he also walks all over myself and the other carpenters and lacks any communication skills for the goals in mind. I want to tell tell him to stop chewing my ass out but not act like I’m trying to be the boss. Even better is when I try to get ahead of the curve for him, he gets upset when I take initiative to help out with other stuff on site or even help him with stuff. Tough situation overall. Not trying to usurp the boss but I’m tired of getting walked over.
Dude, I can so relate. I finally snapped and chewed goat out😂🍺. That's a fine line that moves, not enough, you're in trouble, too much, you're in trouble. Good luck dude. Thanks for watching and please Subscribe
Subscribed already and looking forward to more stories and advice from your years in the field.
Set boundaries bro, I do that with both team leaders in my crew even the boss. We all adults, it’s not what they say it’s how you say it.
Been there done that. I miss it all now being retired. I loved my work.
That's right. I miss those days too, worked with some amazing people throughout the years. Thanks for watching and please Subscribe 🍀🍺

I'm 18 and wanted to get into the trades for awhile, now I don't have any experience in carpentry but I've decided to choose it as my career. I just wanted to ask you that if I have zero experience and not great at math, will I be able to do well in this trade? Also great video man, I'm definitely gonna watch more!

Joe

Hey dude, I am 34 worked my way to an office job which I hate. Miss working with my hands. I love tools, I love seeing daily progress. Am I too old to jump into this profession?
Thanks Jared, no you're not to old. Just had lunch with a guy who is 32 and getting started as a carpenter. Play it smart, You need to be strategic, how much money do you need to keep the light on, etc. Another option, do side jobs or handyman jobs, night and weekend jobs until other doors open cause I don't think you ever to old. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching my friend!
Been there, done that buddy. I was a white collar worker for years and was slowly losing my mind (literally, I had a full on breakdown on the job.) I switched to carpentry nearly 20 years ago and now am teaching carpentry to high school students and loving getting up every day.
I have never looked back with any regrets.
@@glenpye1405 That's powerful, thanks for sharing your journey!
I started when I turned 42, I worked for Excavating/Concrete company for 14 years, I was sick of finishing concrete & running heavy equipment, was super nervous about making the jump because the start pay was no where near what I was making, however I’m glad I did, to compensate the loss income I did side jobs every weekend, but I just show up early & keep a fantastic attitude, I was lucky and got on a crew with veterans who were cool, they talked so much shit but man I’ve learned so much, honestly the job is hard as you make it, I’m outside daily, in the sunshine, talk shit all day, making some bucks!! LFG
@@parr40 awesome dude, thanks for sharing!
I’ve got zero experience in wood working or anything to do with being a carpenter. I’m in my early 20s. Would you say someone with zero experience in labor can become a good carpenter? Just want a job that would allow me to provide for me little family. I should add I’m also pretty poor with math, so the measuring kind of worries me. Thanks
For real, it's near too late! Two, I suck at math in school. Everything thing I do you can learn too, the key, never stop learning! There will always be a need for great woodworkers and carpenters. Good luck in all you do my friend 🍀🍺
Everybody who is a good carpenter had zero experience at firsr
I liken about 6 of my 10 carp jobs to having been in jail. Closest I've been to jail is a Brooklyn homeless shelter for 5 weeks. But damn if the abuse and tough guy shit isn't similar.
Do carpenters have to go in crawl spaces?
Not too often, but there are times you do, especially if you on a remodeling crew, residential construction. Thanks for watching and please Subscribe 🍀🍺
