Thankyou :)
Don't bite to these clowns mate! I don't normally comment but people are annoying!!! You're doing a great job, its tough being self employed and on top showing the world! Take my hat off to you! People's dont know what goes on behind the scenes...keep going bro!
Totally agree..
This comment is bang on some customers who will try and get anything for free he's gone for MDF to avoid paying plaster. At the same time, I'm trying to get it at the same price as the plaster board. Not to mention changing sizes. If any customer touches my tools, I'd ask them to leave the room. Your insurance wouldn't cover their injuries
Best comment
Looks fantastic ❤
Whats better to have plasterboard or mdf?
Wow, the customer changing his mind on the tv size is quite simply mind boggling. You would think this would be the very first thing he would have decided on! I would have said ok, no problem. You pull it all apart 😂
I’m recently qualified from college myself and enjoy watching your videos! I think if you could ask you’re apprentice all the topics he needs to cover for his apprenticeship and then making detailed videos about them (obviously when/ if you ever cover the topics yourself), it would be really helpful to all other apprentice’s out there watching! Your vids are real easy to watch and not boring so keep it up mate
The customer looked like a bit of a nause.
You made good money for that job so I would invest some of it in a festool midi extractor. 90% of that mdf dust would be in the extractor. You won't regret it. Good job 👍
Customer was gabby agbonlahor 😂😂
I’m glad you decided to make plum. Customers will say it’s ok to you but complain to everyone else.
always the case😄
Yo man, you did an amazing job... I also do custom work... I do have a few tips I'd like to share with you, but I don't want to come off as criticizing... Let me know if you'd like me to share... One thing I will say openly is never sell yourself short... Your work speaks for itself and you should be compensated for that... In my opinion, you're not just charging customers for the length of time it takes, but also for the quality of the work... I would've charged double of what you charged... Always take pictures of your work and show future customers if you aren't doing so already... Overall man, great job and ignore anyone that gives you negative feedback... Keep it going bro!
This is how you empower and encourage others! Thank you for your kind words to this man. May you both continue to be blessed at what you do. 🙏🏾 😊
@@Mrsquick Absolutely... and thank you for responding... we can always take something away, negative or positive, from what someone else does. Even though I've been doing this for a while, I'm also continuously learning!
That’s full of rubbish he’s not selling himself short at all. I hope he doesn’t listen to you on that part. If customers see his price as reasonable that’s competition for you as someone in the industry NOT him. This is why so many British business close down and self employers are losing out on customers, because customers go to foreigners in favor of them due to the costs. Especially now that everything is hard. As a customer I will go where the price is reasonable, then make recommendations to all my friends/family etc which means in the long run he will win. Customers will be loyal to the business. Even with landscapers businesses, more and more people are moving away from hiring British individuals because of this very reason. No one wants to spend ridiculous amount of money on things they can live without so British individuals like you with businesses needs to wake up and study the way in which society is spending and on who. If you don’t adjust you will close down sooner or later like so many and that’s a fact. Also, More and more people are taking up DIY’s too for this very reason or going to foreign workers to get the jobs done at a reasonable cost. It doesn’t matter how well you think your work is, if the price is ridiculous you won’t have longevity.
U charge customer double? Good luck finding customers then.
@megangaze192 1st of all, I'm not British... and 2nd, I'm simply telling the young man to understand his worth... if he feels that he's selling his services at a reasonable price, then good for him... I'm simply saying that as someone looking from the outside, and as good as a job he's done, he could charge a lot more for his quality of work... and I stand on what I said... if you as a customer want to go to someone else who will charge you a cheaper price... then understand you get what you pay for... I feel that it's unfair for him to put out this quality of work for pennies... you as a consumer are taking advantage of him... but again, if he feels that his prices are good for him... then I'm happy for him.
Here, in the US, things are different... and I'm sure it's different in Canada... markets are different everywhere you go... but with that said, understand that you produce quality work and you should be compensated accordingly... you, as the builder, set your rates...
Being self-employed comes with its challenges, and valuable lessons accompany the journey. Utilizing contracts with clients is essential. It not only sets clear expectations but also empowers you to charge appropriately for any deviations from the agreed terms. Keep up the excellent work🙌🏾💪🏾‼️
Great comment and tip... I was also going to say the same!
Nice work my friend. Good to see the younger generation making a go of being self employed, as I know it’s not an easy decision to take when you have a young family. I’ve just recently retired after 50 years of being self employed and doing this sort of work. I have never advertised my services and my whole life’s work has been by recommendations and lots of repeat customers. Always strive to turn up on time, do a good job and always clean up after yourself, then you will thrive! Well done! 👍
Looks good man , great work.
I'm a joiner/carpenter and i've been trapped in to kitchens for the past few years, this was nice to watch. Good lads 💪
Hey guys, nice to see you again. When I moved from Europe to the US, I hadn't any clue how much an inch was and using a measuring tape in inches was hard in the beginning, but I still believe mm are the way to go. Nice one though and your little one is just adorable.
Good work. The unplanned ones are great, gives you and the client the opportunity to be really creative as the project evolves. A real testament that the client has faith and trust in you 👍🏼
As a chippy myself for 36 years in the uk I think u did a good job for the money you asked. Built out of mdf is OK and better than plasterboard because it can be altered without the hassle of replastering. You could have glued the edges on the face so they don't open in future. Hope your apprentice has improved 👍
When doing it with mdf how do you smooth out the edges where it meets the next piece so that it is seamless, my knowledge is limited on this stuff, but I guessing u know lol
Beautiful work brother. My only critique would be to recess and hide the strip lights so that only the illumination from the light is visible, and not all the bulbs. Take a small piece of trim, cut out a small channel in it, place the strip light in it and place it somewhere in the shelf. Apart from that, carry on! -fellow contractor in the USA.
Thankyou mate will do this on the next one
Thanks for being transparent & sharing with us...appreciate it.
thankyou , im glad you appreciate the video
I watch all your videos and while I may not tackle the jobs in the same way as you I love to see how other people work and overcome problems.We all have our own way of working and its the results that matter. I get very anxious when I don't have a clue what exactly the customer wants when I turn up but they sometimes prove to be the best jobs.
That anxiety before starting and self gratification after a job is finished is the reason I love custom woodworking... Along with the customer's expression when their job is complete...
Awesome job! I'm looking into one of these media walls for my house.
The customer changing the plan AFTER you had it all put together must have had you fuming.
Only realised it at the end and you probably hear it all the time, but you look EXACTLY like the footballer Reece James, it's kind of insane. Love your attention to detail on the job, great work 👌
I came to the comments for this EXACT comment!
That media wall looks brilliant, you did a proper solid job. Nice. And your apprentice is proper funny.
You did a fantastic job, great video ! About to tackle this project with my wife, she also doesn't know what an inch is!
Just stumbled across your vids excellent honest ones great content and fine workmanship
Excellent
Absolute sterling work buddy. Using the MDF really gives a much cleaner finish, a little pain in the butt for you, however as an overall finish it looks stunning. Just keep doing what you are doing there is no right or wrong way with the videos - just keep it real. Love and peas. 👍
Awesome work man! Definitely under charged but you live you learn. Keep up the good work!
Stunning build. ❤
Your doing a wonderful job!! I wish you nothing but the BEST ! I hope everything works out for you and you continue to create great content !
I’m in the US in an expensive state so the labor charge seems low especially with 3 laborers working 12 hrs. Thanks for sharing!
That’s cheap to USA prices. I recently did a faux chimney with electric fireplace with a stone veneer 8ftWX10H. I did it myself and total was still around 5k in materials.
Nice one..love the hustle.Starting my own handy man/property maintenance business in Jan…cant wait!👌💪💪
How's it going so far? How have you gone about having jobs coming in?
Hey. You have the patience of a saint. I like your content, I've picked up loads of tips for a basic DIY novice. Keep up the great work.
Awesome, thank you im glad my content is beneficial to you
This is fantastic! Only just started following you but loving the videos. Learning so much from you too
Very nice done, charging price is also ok. There is much work to do in this buildings.
Looks good man, really nice job and the price was oretty reasonable too. 👍
That was sooooo BEAUTIFUL OMG!! you guys did a WONDERFUL JOB!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE
Beautiful job , respect from Dublin
We like seeing people build media walls. It’s fun and entertaining also educational now in days people don’t come out to do jobs often so we gotta learn ourselves by watching
Spot on mate im building one in my front room ive been a joiner 22 years and id do nearly everything the same as you so you dont need any help. Im gonna cover it in wood veneer vertical slats though and put a finished kitchen panel around the perimeter of the tv and fire the colour of the front room for it to really pop.
Whenever I work for a friend or trade the first thing I ask is “are you going away at all, happy to look after things here and get it done for you..” Even if I’m not strictly available at that time I will break my arse to do the job when they are not there.
Two fantastic trades to have, I think kids today will not want to have a fantastic job when they can sit on an iPad all day. Thank you so much for this, I will post on my channel once I do it,
Mate, an apprentice that went to college and still can’t read a tape, is a failure of the college, but all that said, he needs to get his head out of the clouds and help himself a lot more. You have the patience of a saint.
Top lad! Respect for sharing the journey and best of luck! Im now inspired to do something like this for my mum someday. Thanks for the ideas.
For 2 1/2 days of work & the skill set that’s a cracking deal.
Best of luck mate.
Would be awesome to see some short form videos with little tips, for example in the video you mentioned making sure things are plumb, a short video on how and why you need to make things plumb would be brilliant. Love all your content though mate thanks for the inspiration!
You can use your razor blade on the top of sckirting go down and score the caulking/paint so you can tear it off without chipping paint. Just a tip!
Keep them coming. I enjoy your videos. I’m a kitchen fitter In Northampton.
Absolutely fantastic work there and the end result looks amazing seems a fair price for labour only as there’s a lot of cutting involved
Really enjoyed this video 👍
£1200, that was my guess and I was bang on the money!... One of my first carpentry projects was a built in tv wall, way back in 2012. That was for a 42" TV. The aperture that I made for that size actually suits my 55" Sony Oled better as the screen now sits flush with only the bracket in the back. It looks like I've got a 5mm thick TV screen on my wall.
Another good video mate. Well done. I’d always invest in some floor protection and festool midi.
Nice work pal. Good to see trades men take pride and not cut corners..
Pukka job , I been doing this 24 years trust me , keep up the good work 👍🏻
Are we all ignoring the fact that his customer was Gabriel Agbonlahor?!! 😂 also a video on how you got into carpentry would be stella fella
I watch a lot of RUclips. Really good video, good video angles, lot's of humour (inches), transparency with price, watched start to finish.
Nothing to add IMO.
Love watching your videos. So educational and yet relaxing to watch at the same time keep em coming pal
Well done sir you should be proud and keep up the good work 👍
Absolute awesome video your the reason I'm now taking my carpentry course cabt wait to be nearly as good as you keep up the good work and reap the rewards u deserve it 🙌
Awesome, great video. I appreciate seeing it all come together without a plan and all the tools in use, especially the tools I don't have yet. Let me know if you ever have a project and need a helping hand. No criticism. Thanks for putting the video together. The comedy was brilliant! "Woooow! You don't know what 18 inches is? What about 6?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Awesome job. Exactly what i want in my home. Thanks for sharing your great work
Good job keep it up 👍
Great price. Beautiful work. Was that board hard to paint and work with? Can u list your tools😊
Great work, fair price.
Great job mate and decent money. Well deserved. Nothing to change on the videos as far as I’m concerned, I really enjoy them. Also good to know how much you charge so keep it coming bro
Great job.
You've got all the tools.
Good habits with the safety gear.
Top notch product you produced for a very good price. Customer must have bedn happy.
Im a landscaper who has a go at anything, ie a media wall next on my list. Got some good tips here.
Really enjoyed your video mate. Takes some balls to put your work out for the world to judge.
👏 Good luck on earning some dosh.
All the best
I love it!! Wish you were here in the U.S. I would definitely love that build in my house. Good job!!
thankyou I really appreciate the kind comment
Great video! finished product looked great!
That’s a great price in the US!! I paid $1000 for just the middle part, no shelves
Nice work, the final piece looks really good on good budget. One piece of feedback would be pls use better dust management when cutting boards indoors! Especially MDF.
First time i think i’ve ever commented on a yt video. Keep up the good work, really enjoying the content.
Looks great.
Really good video you know the guys you’re motivating. I also like how you told us how much you charged, it gives people an insight of what you could make doing a trade.
Great channel boss 👍 as a bricklayer who's trying to learn some joinery I found this video easy to follow. Much appreciated mate
The end result is amazing.
First time seeing your vid. And I was amazed with the work I seen. I love this project. Great sir, keep up the good work
I love your videos bro. Inspirational. I need to go self employed. No cap.
Thankyou I really appreciate it , I will be doing a video on how to become self employed and the pros and cons soon
Very skilful bro. Your accent is dope 😎
Nice to see a fellow black guy honing his craft. I do basic DIY woodworking projects. Your next level 🎚️
Keep it up. I am not black but im happy to see anyone mastering a craft. All around good character. People like him need more recognition.
I haven’t read any comments, but the end product looked beautiful
thankyou I really appreciate your kind comment
This was very straight forward and informative… keep going you did great
Nice job, mate, the only problem working with customers is...working with customers......keep up the good work
Great work and I hope you stay this authentic as your channel becomes more popular.
Keep doing what your doing mate. Good work on build and videoing
You did your thing man!!!? Excellent video and fantastic job.
Great work all i've got to "complain" about is all the sawdust and specially the MDF dust, the MDF dust is so fine and could be floating around his livingroom for several days afterwards, and it is not health for the airways at all. Since you have an apprentice you could have him hold the vacuume while you're using the router, aswell clean up a couple times during the day if not atleast at the end :) No hate just my two cents :))
Greate jobz lads, one major issue with mdf is after a while you will start to see joints :(
£1200 for that bro that’s amazing g lookin at the final
Result I thought u was gona say 3000 or sumot good work bruva👊🏽💜💯
Worth it all day top job bro
Yes bro respec and keep up the good work
Hey Bro i am going to do this. Thanks for your Knowledge. We have a bricked wall with a tile base and a tiled shelf. I can cover all that in wood. It will look amazing.
Good job. But I believe the media wall should always be ready to accommodate a bigger TV at all times. For example, I now own a 55” TV. But I am going to build my media wall to cater for a 75” TV which I am planning to buy in a couple of years.. Apprentice video bombing was hilarious 😝
Wow result was amazing!👏
Absolutely class 👏👏👏 excellent work
thankyou mate I really appreciate the kind comment
The end results looks fab. Most of these media walls seem to use plasterboard, I'm interested to know why you/ your client used mdf over the plasterboard?
Love the design.
it’s quite a lot cheaper and it’s also very sturdy
Hopefully that customer buys some diffuser for those leds as it’s obvious there’s hot spots a diffuser is easy to install aswell and will look better
You’ve forwarded a long way bro, since I first saw your video when you made the leap into self employment. Respect the progress💥💥💥💥
Great work , good price for all your work!
Good job brother. Keep up the good work from Ireland
I am absolutely amazed what you did! So beautiful! I wish you were in SC to do mine. What a cute video at the end too! Lol
First i was like that cheap! Then i was like, wow that quick! So then back to the price and i was like wow spot on, 2 of those a week would be decent money, but very technical all day long everyday would be draining i bet. Great job. 👍👍
Thanks mate I appreciate this comment yeah would be draining but money would be great I may have to start getting into just doing media walls aha
Absolutely FANTASTICK job I am doing one for myself and this has helped👍👍👍👍 me a lot.
Amazing job! Love it!!! Good job guys! Salute!❤❤❤
First time seeing you channel popped up on my feed brilliant job.
I've subscribed 👍
Nice finish job, I like seeing custom builds like this. 👍👍
Nice work.Finish looks top draw.
