Thankyou mate I appreciate it and glad you like the content
You look like a hard working and focused person who likes his job. That's all one could ask for. Thanks
As an amateur DIYer I really appreciate your clear techniques and love the enthusiasm in your work. Good luck with your increasingly successful career 👏
loving these types of videos
i will make sure to make more thankyou for these back ☺️
People don’t understand how much tools we need to put one door on
Depends on the individual, i worked for a firm years ago with a few joiners and most would empty their vans to hang a door. An old boy on there would do litteraly any job with a cordless and his kit bag, thats it!! Great old school joiner
@@danielmills4898 right? I’ve learned to eyeball things like centering the bolt when I cut in a passage set, or centering a knob on a bifold door, etc. I don’t even own one of those squares he used. Anything to help the job go faster instead of hyper focusing on things no one’s going to notice.
Least favourite part of any job for me is loading out of the house. The job is finished and I want to be gone but there's several trips up and down the stairs or garden to get everything back into my vehicle. Tedious
@@woody1380 nothing worse and I find my self trying to do the job with the wrong tools coz I can’t be bothard going to the van 😂
@@aaronbell8527 some days I have a list of different types of job to sort in a house as a general handyman and I keep going back to get different tools for each job, start fitting a door or maybe some handles, then a bit of plumbing or hanging things on walls and by the end of the day I have virtually every tool I own in the house. I should take stuff back once finished with as I get other stuff out but I always forget and end up having to shift it all at once at the end of the day 🤦🏻♂️
Keep up the good effort my brother, God loves an honest working man 👍🏽
Been watching for a while now, out of my apprenticeship nearly a year and decided to start my own carpentry business. Big inspiration
thankyou mate i appreciate it
Now then mate quick tip when you want To take some off the bottom of a door when rubbing on the carpet, measure down to carpet from bottom hinge and measure this on the door it will give you a rough estimate to what to take off so it dosent catch 👍🏻
It’s really quite helpful telling your viewers what you charge
I find your honesty about money really refreshing. And helpful as I'm a carpenter in Cardiff and just starting out as self employed.
Like how you do your videos, no 20minute rambling on like some others where you end up skipping on. Straight on the jobs. Nice one
thankyou mate i love these comments giving me feedback glad you like the content
Great video. Nice to see a young man with a trade and a great work ethic. 👍
thankyou matey
Keep up the good honest work pleasure to watch and see from a fellow tradesman 👍
thankyou really appreciate the kind comment
Good job mate, when it rains it pours 👍
Well done for sharing man..
Fellow carpenter here.
I'd like to say that people don't appreciate is the amount of tools we have to buy and maintain to do our work and this is reflected in our work and prices nowadays.
Absolutely well said that man and there are constantly new things out just to make our jobs easier but not cheap. When I started 40 year ago there was no cordless tools in fact when the pump screwdriver came out god that was amazing but I remember fitting locks with a hand brace now they fit door with routers in 10mins but it all costs keep it up mate. 👍
yes up the baggies in the artificial grass room!!
It was enjoyable watching your craft, I had a maintenance business in Florida, US for many years. Keep up the great content…
Blessings.
Bro I needed these videos knowone else is making content like you. Watching this makes me excited to start my carpentry career next month
thanks mate i really appreciate your support and glad you like the content
also good luck it’s a great career 👍
well done mate brillant
Love it brother! Im a carpenter in a small town in Oregon USA and im the only black builder I've seen or known. I just subscribed. Keep building and problem solving!
Hv you ever seen or read about the “Door Stud”. Check it out ! I put mine in a sustainer pop it out fits on the door rolls nicely over everything! After u cut it roll it right into the jam and level withe wheels on get your reveal pop it off after you set the door!
You master finish work save your back and do custom trim ! U will never be out of work! Save your back! I am in my 60’s second career 15 yrs in booked out 6 months ! All good paying jobs! But you are your own boss!
Well done mate, good work and keep making those great videos, you come across as very humble👍🏻
thankyou mate i really appreciate the comment i try 😊
Definitely make a series!! Giving me so much confidence about making the change to go self employed
I'm glad that is the purpose of this chanelle , Thankyou
Good work .keep it up
Run a few strips of masking tape across the top edge of your trestles to stop marking your doors but foam pipe insulation is best specially when it's a carpet trim and the doors are already painted
A yes a series would be great 🙂🙂
i may start doing 🤔☺️ thankyou for the feed back

Kudos to you on your hard work learning an honorable trade, and much success!
I'm trying to learn to be self-reliant and fix up the family home I inherited, and at 47 my brain is slowing down a little, lol.
I'm very lucky to have this home, and want to do things properly. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
As a young joiner my self, (23) after watching this it’s making me want to go out and do a abit more graft as we say up here in Newcastle 😂

Well done. Good to see an honest video
I’m a self employed plumber….liking your vids
Little jobs are great way of getting about and showcasing your skillset and gaining more work in the future also nice break from bigger contracts,good work fella👍
You should make a video on how to build stud walls and adjust it to the exact frame size
Great job buddy nice honest tradesman 👍

Small jobs do matter as they can add up to a good days work like you did today.It's good to see someone enjoy there work.I have watched all of your videos im sure but have i missed something,what happened to the young apprentice.Have you thought about selling merchandise with your trade mark.👍
Great video once again, keep em going
Nice work mate, I hate doing doors in existing linings.

Good man you should be proud of yourself and your success keep it up.
Great attitude. May I suggest you add a flat fee for your time shopping around. Totally acceptable from a customer point of view.

I love my tough built equipment , I’m glad your liking the content
£90 a day doing plumbing? Bro you serious
You need to get a new job work for nothing never be idle.
@@bobby5634is that good
@@thething5425 No lol
Nice video , well done ..and yes small jobs matter ( as all jobs do ) and many times a small job can lead to bigger jobs from neighbours or the same customer
When are you going to make a video on racking out your van and should definitely make this a series
Nice work 👍👍👍
Great job
I like these videos ,a genuinely nice guy 👍👍👍👍
thankyou i really appreciate it
You should do a video explaining what made you go into this trade
Nice videos mate
Thankyou I appreciate it
Propper grafter 💪
thankyouu
Another great video...keep it up 👍
Nice work 👏 keep it up.
Ever thought of using a ryobi latch jig for standard installation ?
bro these prices still seem cheap!! id hire you everytime
I wish people around me thought the same alot of people in Birmingham still saying I'm expensive
It’s mad that b&q and screwfix are the same company but the price and quality are miles apart
Its the same with Wickes and Travis perkins.
great video!
Any advice on how to sharpen chisels?
Keep theses vids consistent please
I love your vids i rlly wanna be a carpenter keep up the good work! ❤
On the go for 16 hours I don't think other carpenter's would of charged that less
9nce 1👍
Quality little jobs video bro, but where was “the apprentice” today man
Nice content ...... 👍
I'm also self-employed and love it. Great video !! Not sure is 210 pounds good money there? I'm in Canada and for small jobs
I charge $350 flat rate even if only takes me 2-3 hours. Keep it up. Good job !!
OMG! Canada why so much?
Im a handyman in the midlands(uk) i do mainly door hanging and trim carpentry i aim to make £200 a day that puts me at the cheaper end of the market.. £250 is top end where i am.
@@darreninstone3626 that'd a good wage, you'd make less in Scotland.
Im moving to canada
were u working up the barr beacon by any chance
Where is the Apprentice on this day? You could’ve had him fitting those doors and locks
Fair play pal you’ve probably got £15,000.00 van and tool set too
What your charging is very fair if you managed to squeeze in a 4th job you would have done very well
Do you not need to let these door’s acclimatise?
Where is the apprentice nice job 👍
Are you mad, I’d use a Yale lock over a screw fix brand all day long, no question
How do you get your jobs ? I do price work on new builds but this looks great 👍🏻
Do you do london?
How much use guys charging to hang a internal door
Thanks for sharing like this beautiful video. I just want to ask you ,I'm 20 and I'm going to start a course from next year, but I'm confused between carpenter and electrician course. Which one are you suggesting me? Is carpenter busy?
I'm an apprentice carpenter. Been doing my trade 5 years.
I started my apprenticeship 3 years ago and it's a 4 year apprenticeship here. I would say that electricians can make more money salary wise. But as a carpenter you can take on massive and small jobs and make good and decent money... But with Carpenter it requires more investment in tools.
There is more job satisfaction in carpentry since you could put in a staircase and it could stand for 100 years.
Best bet. Is to go with an electrician for a day and a carpenter for a day. Even for free just to see how the trades work and what you are interested in
