Count it as a lesson learned and, first of all, don't lose hope. You have plenty of time to get on your tracks. Wish you best of luck from Romania and I'm following your youtube project, waiting for THAT video that will bring the million views 😊 Cheers!
Nice cutting boards! Sorry to hear about your job. Well, don't let them take too much of your energy, it's their loss. Looking forward to see your YT journey, you're already smashing it :)
Thank you! I appreciate it to be honest I’ve been trying to fast track my RUclips by promoting videos but for some reason I’m having trouble with it currently waiting on a email back to sort it then hopefully I can advise the channel to hopefully fast track this
Sorry you're in a s**t situation! I'm in the same boat myself so, I appreciate how you're feeling right now. Keep your head up and I'm sure everything will work out for you 💪🏻
Hey man, nice boards and dont you worry too much, you are young, eager and driven. I'm sure if you get any job available that interests you and where there is room for climbing the ladder you'll do just fine. Maybe get out of that maintenance sector?
Thank you! And I’m comfortable in a maintenance department because I know I can do a lot of the issues that arise and most days are never the same hard to tell on video but I’m abit socially awkward so working in a maintenance department is good for my because it’s usually in a small team and I don’t have to talk to customers (I get flustered) I’ll obviously take whatever I can get but maintenance is a good job for me thank you for the kind words I wish you the best
I got fired out of the blue last year in May. Also maintenance. I wish I could say it gets better but I think the system is just setup to lock us in this loop of suffering at the mercy of others. I got another job the same day. My new plan is buying land this year with savings and going off grid as far away as possible from the ruling thumb of others.
Yeah I’ve had a few maintenance jobs most places love to pile the work on you and then constantly complain about costs and time like the job costs what it costs and it takes as much time and it takes to fix it but they never understand had some good places to that didn’t have this mentality but maintenance can be a tough one but it’s something I’m good at
Website doesn't show up as hyperlink, maybe if you add the full link it will. Would be easier to access, currently at least on mobile I need to type it in
Just put the video on but sorry to hear about loosing the job, been there myself when being 'let go' has some shady going ones behind it. Hope ya manage to find something else ✌️ Places like that ain't worth your time, obviously easy to say cos we all need work and money but shouldn't have problems like that at the place you gotta be every day. I feel ya though, been there a few times, I do agency work mainly on site and had periods of no work. Will av a butchers at your website once I get rolling again (2 weeks off for Christmas is nice but unpaid ain't lol)
Thank you for the lovely comment and hopefully I find something nice ideally I’ve love to do RUclips full time but that won’t pay the bills but don’t worry my spirits are still high abs i hope yours are too I wish you the best of luck in 2025!
Just start looking for general home maintenance garden maintenance installing kitchens flat pack assembly ect my grandson is just 16 has put himself out there and is getting work thrown at him drop a few leaflets you will be amazed at the response websites are great for the RUclips family but local leaflets are the community contact good luck lad
It's usually that you need to sharpen the tablesaw blade and it is actually more likely that the teeth will need to be cleaned as when you use them alot the teeth have a tendency to get covered by the sap ththat'in the wood. Before you shapen the Blade try cleaning the teeth with an old toothbrush and soapy water if this doesn't work try using some of your partners nail varnish remover. It works great and will save you some money in the future
I have some rubbing alcohol I’ll soak some of my old blades and see if I can sharpen them too might even make a video of me trying to do it thanks for the advice!
I’m sorry about the job situation- as you said, it may have been the boss putting 2&2 together- but on the other side, they’re definitely up sh*t creek now after getting rid of all the contractors after seeing how you were able to do everything! And I can relate completely as I’m also going to be out of a job soon, myself- but see, they’re supposed to give you notice. I got two weeks notice to prepare for joblessness. Immediate termination is usually reserved for terrible offenses like stealing, threats, etc. Either way, they certainly did you wrong, but they’re going to end up paying for it themselves. At least I find some comfort in that. I know you don’t want to take any donations straight away without giving something back- but the way I see it is I pay for steaming channels I hardly look at, so I’d like to support your channel that I always watch! I don’t know how channel membership works on RUclips, but I would definitely sign up for that! And any Amazon wish list- I’d def help send a saw blade or other tool you could use just to see what projects you do with them. Or item link bcuz I’d want to use the same item you’re using. I know this is difficult for you- not many people like asking for help- but even buskers get something thrown in the hat- and you do a lot more than busking! Sorry this is so lengthy- I love the chopping board! And I love that you keep us in the loop of whatever is going on. Especially the ‘chisme’ - which means gossip/drama/inside news/inside story! You used a key word- Invested. We’re all invested in your work and stories- I think we would all like to financially invest in YOU just to keep you and your channel going!
Thank you that was honestly really nice to read don’t worry my spirits are still high and this job loss is just another bump in the road I did used to have a Amazon affiliate links account but I didn’t pass the mark to keep it so I’ll be reapplying for it in the future I do currently have a website with some products on it if anyone wanted to support the channel and I can give back to in way I might look into RUclips membership program I just didn’t think anybody would be interested in it. Thank you for the lovely comment all the best for 2025
Thank you and it seemed pretty dodgy at the start then I settled in and liked it then they laid me off so pretty speechless about it but it hasn’t killed my spirit
Thank you! I know I really want some actual dust collection but I have started using Hoover attachments on my sander and wearing masks while cutting or Atleast I’m trying to make a habit of it now my little hover just makes my table saw and surface planer clog so I’d need a beefer set up for dust collection
@barrovianmade I splashed out 80 quid on the Evolution vac as I use a tiny summer house for projects. Also some compatible hepaflo bags. I realise times are tough so hopefully things will pick up soon for you so you can invest. The vac is really good for the price and has made a difference. Hope 2025 brings you some better luck!
Sounds like they might have had other plans in mind. Perhaps the boss on holiday didn’t want a hire. Sounds like a shit company and you sound like a conscientious and hard worker. Their loss, I’m sure someone else will value you.
Ah mate, so sorry for your situation. Something will come up, you're too good a guy not to get on. Your website looks top notch 🤞🤞 for you there.
Thank you I appreciate it! Hopefully things will pick up soon
Count it as a lesson learned and, first of all, don't lose hope. You have plenty of time to get on your tracks. Wish you best of luck from Romania and I'm following your youtube project, waiting for THAT video that will bring the million views 😊 Cheers!
Thank you don’t worry it hasn’t killed my spirit it’s just another obstacle to overcome thank you I hope that million views comes soon! 😂
Hope things pick up for you mate, all the best for 2025 lets hope its a good one for you.
@karlpopewoodcraft sharing the love, for those who don't know Karl's channel is a beast and worth checking out.
@Back2Brick-Ben cheers mate, hope your feeling OK 👍

Nice work. Sounds like a trash company

You seem like a thoroughly good egg. Please take care of your lungs. xx
