      Did you have any existing knowledge about carpentry or building stuff beforehand? I’m 30 and considering it myself but have never worked with my hands before other than basic factory work. So manual labor isn’t an issue for me but…idk..going into it with zero background knowledge kinda scares me.

      @@lonewanderer_n7 It's so important to always be learning and growing or you'll never have a better life. We have the world's information at our fingertips but also take the time to put some real thought into it. Everyone seems to be looking for help, see if you can take a few days or a week off from work (vacation/sick days) and ask a carpenter if you can help him for free for a few days in exchange for some insight into what its like as a career. Or do that on your weekends (off days) and probably within a month you'll either realize you don't like it or be familiar enough its not so scary to switch careers.

    I think Carpentry is a God-given gift and you either have it or not. I'm 42 years old, but would love to learn how to build homes and survival camps out in the woods. I've been told that the first step to becoming a Carpenter is learning how to use a measuring tape, which is harder than some may think. Just watching Carpenters build things eases my mind with peace and calms my soul. Thanks for sharing!

    Great video. I love your easygoing 'vibe', and you have a lot of classic tips and tricks here. You make rough carpentry fun and accessible, so I love that. One thing that I wanna bring up. As a horseback riding instructor, I always have my students wear a training helmet, and I wear one too, (especially if I'm on a horse I don't know well.) In the past, safety equipment was looked down upon as 'amateurish' and unnecessary. But we all have accidents, amateurs and professionals. A cheap pair of safety goggles is better than spending the afternoon in an emergency room, with a big piece of wood in your cornea. Just a tip that you might want to add to your next vid. Thanks, Buddy! You're awesome!

    Carpenters
    I come from a family of inventors, engineers, & carpenters. Carpentry is the science of manufacturing with wood. The process started with Surveyors, Loggers, & Sawyers. Some carpenters are joiners (see Japanese joinery), some cabinet makers. Cabinet makers need more precise measurements, so measurements of less than 1/64th inch are used. A cabinet maker can cut to a precision of less than 1/64th inch, and then sand or plane to perfection.
    Carpentry is good clean work. If you want to be a carpenter, best is to apprentice under a Master Carpenter, and /or do work on the job. Next is to learn about carpenters tools, and have a few important ones: good belt and apron bag, large metal square, small square/triangle & protractor, levels long & short, chisels of different sizes, electrical & hand planers, electrical drill & bits, brace, electrical & hand saws, possibly hammer & conforming tool, pencil/scribe, compass. Then you will need consumables: screws, pegs, nails, rods. Maybe goggles & gloves & first aid kit (read and be proficient at first aid). Watch your hands and feet! Hydrate! Contemplate different ways of design & construction. Measure and plan at least three times. Cut once, oversize if necessary, and plane, chisel, sand to fit, shim if you made a mistake or must use short wood. Learn types of wood & wood treatments: stain, glue, caulk, paint.

    God bless you my friend. I just came here because I wanted to find a video and see how a Carpenter holds a tape measure. Turns out I'm not crazy! You hold it in your left hand and mark with your right hand, just like me, a "non-carpenter". And I read it upside down, naturally. I would like to join an unruly mob of frustrated laymen, and storm the Stanley factory. Subdue all their left handed managers, and turn their tape measure machines around, so they only make right handed ones! Cheers!

    Finish carpenters definitely go into the 32nds. Not with the math really but when I make cut lists I might say this cut is 12 3/4 strong or shy. Especially when I'm doing division of balusters. If I do the math for my layout with decimals I might get something like 3.8375 on center for my whole row of spindles which is a strong 13/16". If I didn't go into the 32nds then that error accumulates and over a span of 8ft that could add up to my last spindle being a whole half inch off. You just need to know when it matters to chase that kind of precision in your work.

    I used that tape measure when I first started finish carpentry, helped me get familiar with the measurements. Now I I really don’t like them, the measurements are distracting. Eventually your boss is going to hand you his tape measure and ask you to call out some measurements and you should know how to use it. If you get a measurement that An inch and 3/16 and you don’t know your 16th you can say inch and one eighth strong.
