Tip of the day from a pro joiner with 32 years on the tools. Invest some £££ in a quality dust extractor (Festools are brillliant), hook it up to your plunge saw, lay the door down on the floor, support your cutting edge on a 2 or 3" high batten to avoid accidental carpet-cutting disasters, and cut dust-free in the room - not outside on trestles. Saves all those trips up and down the stairs, enables you to make additional adjusting trims there & then if necessary, gets the job done in half the time = doubles your hourly earnings. Best wishes.

I always find that the small jobs are a great way to get your foot in the door. Spending 20 mins chatting with the client over a coffee and telling them what else you can do will always lead to more work.

Measure from floor to the buttom hinge then allow a few mil to save measuring the whole opening. I find it easier this way when the doors have been taken off

Really enjoyed watching this video and how you explain everything you're doing. Also really appreciate the honesty with what you charge and make in a day. Thanks mate keep it up

Great job there m8 💚🙏 I think the hardwood seal, I believe generally or normally has a weather bar in that slot not for draught but for weather ingress with windy weather to stop driving rain coming inside 👍🏼

Excellent work It's the simple attention to detail and showing respect to customers property when tiding up after work . You take pride in your work and it shows 👍 Best of luck in the future 🤞

Love your work ethic and your professional aproach

I quite enjoy the smaller jobs, relitvly stress free and earn decent money from them, can always lead to doing bigger scale works in the customers home, keep up the good work mate

spot on with your assessment of the damp on the cill, its time consuming but I paint external frames / cills prior to fitting,

Enjoyed the video mate I’m currently next year doing carpentry almost finished my multi trades year 1 corse now I’m waiting for my carpentry and joinery to begin and I’m gonna start looking for apprentiship soon and watching videos your videos helps me get ready for my corse this September brilliant keep it up lad!!

Definitely need more straight up, honest videos like this about all sorts of crafts. As a kid and a teen it was just office jobs that were presented to me. Barely got to learn about anything hands-on. Thanks! Also, I'm looking to get into video editing. If you're interested, let me know and I'll drop you some contact details!

Love these type of videos mate, can’t wait for more!

Just seen your video, will certainly follow you from now on.Good to hear your prices , and not ripping people off.

What a nice guy and a good tradesman too,enjoyed the video 👍👍

What a decent young lad mastering his trade! I'll look forward to the next video!!

Great job, what a big difference.👍.

Just found your channel pal...good honest hard working guy fair fucks...just got yaself a new sub pal.

Love these type of vids , smashing it man

Scottish sparky here mate, checked out a few videos like watching other professionals work👍 Keep up the good work

Great vid mate love these ones the best keep up the great work 👍

good morning just to let you know i love your videos and thank you for them , Yes please, as it’s so very useful to have an idea just how much jobs cost these days. if others don't wont to know tell them to turn off when you talk about cost. please keep giving prices, thanks again for all your hard work...

When you trim a door, always break the edge with sandpaper.

Small jobs are very good and sometimes they bring more profit than bigger jobs. I started as a carpenter (site carpenter) and sometimes there was no workaround so I started doing a bit of plumbing, electrics, roofing, and tiling and next thing you know I was booked all the time. The only problem with the small jobs is that you end up pricing/invoicing every day and it can take a big part of your evening. I started taking payments using the SumUp card machine which sends the invoice to the client by email/phone or gives a receipt on the spot and you have the money in the bank the next day 100%. I didn't have many problems with clients not paying me but I find this more easier and not having to chase the client for the money. All the best.

I’m retired now, but in my younger days as a contractor carpenter, I spend more time in car parks arguing about money with builders than I did doing the job. Like getting blood out of a stone sometimes.

Subscribed! Excellent content. Keep at it mate.

Cracking video mate doors looked great, nicely done skirts and the was truly gone lovely job on the cill as well have a awesome week all the best Tony 👍

Nice video - honest work done right. Unlike all the clickbait videos of 'amazing new tools and techniques' and all that rubbish. Doing this basic work well, for people who can't do it themselves is what we need more of. And very reasonable prices too. Keep up the good work.

Great video,just realised what area you was driving around. I worked and lived before moving to Pembrokeshire.

I enjoyed this video! I liked the way it was shot as way too many trades people talk and hold the camera all the way which drives me nuts. Using a stand and watching you, and using dutch angles, you get a fuller picture of what the job entails. I subbed and looking forward to learning more from you! (I wanted to be a carpenter, self employed, just one problem - customers!! lol)

Great video. I'm a freelance creative director, so a very different line of work. The small jobs definitely matter to me. They're generally quite interesting, I can use them to fill the gaps in my week, and they all add up at the end of the month. ✌️

Very good bro. I’ve got a door threshold to do soon as well. Not looking forward to it as it quite a thick one and the standard ones aren’t quite big enough. Oh well, I’ll find a way. More vid like this please 👍🏾

Good job lad like the clips , I’ve done endless doors in universities ,library’s , high end and bespoke , get into a habit of using a small tool bag for doors and ditch the tool belt ! Heavy doors small spaces means you hold the door closer to carry , most likely to scratch the doors with your belt or Jean buckles ,,,, please remember Cause a cute customer will spot it , Felt your pain on the top floor I start furthest away while I’m fresh and fit Good luck mate Happy Easter

I'd have cut a small chamfer on any cut edges to help with splints and also looks more professional as it matches the uncut edges.

Love the videos man. Can you plz make a video on all your tools, equipment and PPE that you carry

Nice bit of work on that last door!!!

Love this, I'm preparing to go self employed soon. Good to see a UK carpenter on here!

Great stuff for finish carpentry ! Maybe instead of going fast thru your actually working the hinges and chisel work put that in and what you hv to be careful of ? Remove your hinges one at a time and place a 3” screw into jam thru your rough framing grabbing the sag in solid core doors! That when they eventually pull off and stain or paint the doors ( painters always do) it does not affect your work. Narnex I believe is the name make a great set of chisels and p/u a set of diamond stones that way your working with a real sharp chisel and most often never hv to drag the hammer out! I use a doubled headed mallet when working with doors it leaves no mark! Your gonna hv a great channel!

Enjoyed watching this bud🤩and nice to see a young gun like yourself getting on in our great trade👊Cheers Del

You are quite clearly a success.take care.Give yourself a pay rise!!.respect .Andy Gayle.

The the cordless festool and vacuum you can attach the guidrail to the bottom of the door hence you wouldn't need to remove the door.

I don’t know your market, but seems like you do not charge enough. You do good work. You’re clean cut and professional. You have a tool collection I’m jealous of and a nice work van. None of that comes cheap. Add 20 percent to all your fees and see what happens! I bet you get it.

Great job honestly I’m taking inspiration from this

Great professional there. Subscribed :)

Great video very reasonable prices you charge. I'm a joiner of 30 years.

stumbled across your channel just now, kept my attention, very chilled and laidback and nicely laid out video. Regarding the prices damn bro that's way too cheap the first job for 5 doors, same as for the skirting readjustment, seems you're very competent at what you do, id charge more tbh!

Great video mate 👏💪

Really good content mate , nice one subscribed 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Great video bro, respect to BC

Love the video..good job

I follow a few trades on KZfaq, you're the 1st carpenter

More apprentice vids too please keep up the work bro love it 💯❤️💪🏼

Well put together video.👍

New to your videos. I enjoyed this and will be following, your prices are very well priced, Which leads to even more work continuous eventually getting you the big contracts than over charging and barely get any work that I see in other trades.

I bought dewalts battery powered blower. I use it to clean away the last little bit of sawdust from the cutting area and to clean my tools off

Just stumbled upon this video today, I used to do this kind of work but am now a General Contractor. Started 23 years ago when I moved to the US! You are a great craftsman! And kudos to you, wearing eye, ear and knee protection!

The little door where it wouldnt close, that had a ball catch, you can adjust them usually to take them further in or out. Just taking it in abit would have made the door shut. Nice vid btw I'm also a joiner for 11 years

Great video only just found you, I do similar self employed but more of a handyman love my joinery jobs look forward to more videos 👍

You must be strong man! Carrying them doors ain't no joke.

Solid work man!

When I trim doors I just measure from the bottom hinge to the floor then transfer the measurement onto the door

Great video mate

Like the videos mate keep on grinding brother it will pay off. You are very professional

Just reopened a memory, new carpets, 9 solid doors, 3 story house, all the screws flat heads and hinges painted!

At last ! Nice job fella !! Dust sheet would be nice to top it off !!!

Great work mate 👍

Nice work ,try to take a door off by removing the center pin in a door hinge with a nail set and hammer by taping the pin up and then out. It’s a lot easier than unscrewing the hinges

Small jobs all the way 👍 Great video 👌

Nice job bro with the fro

Top man👍🏼nice video

I'd recommend learning a bit of painting for small jobs, its pretty cost effect just to do it while your there instead of the owner getting someone else in to do it, you'll be able to charger way more

I quoted to remove some branches from an over hanging tree on a job while installing a stair banister . I said it's maybe an hours work . Anyhow it took less than 20 minutes , so the client told me to cut back some branches in her garden to make up the hour !! Now I quote £'s per job . My fault if I take longer than expected.

The first Job you done was great and took you 2.5 hrs with your experience £160.00 Labour seems low to me, remember a customer is paying for your skills and experience not the time it takes you, keep up the good work :)

Solid work!

Great work mate, clean tidy and efficient. I’m a plasterer and decorator so unfortunately it’s not always as easy to get days like this, but as I get older I do think I’ll try and incorporate smaller jobs more, less strain on the body. Are those knee pads dewalt?

I’m retired I am I am what in the US is called a general contractor carpentry tiling everything skirting over here is called baseboard I prefer the belt sander planner method and back bevel it take more off from behind and it’s easier to clean with electric or hand planer to the pencil line I was based in New York City

Love this mate would be nice to see what you take in your van in a day in your life as im an apprentice myself so would be nice to know keep it up mate

Watched the video. Based in suffolk, that’s a fair price for what you have done. 👍🏻

Even some really good tradespeople would say. "Who cares about the barrier. I was hired just to replace a chunk of wood." But you obviously take good pride in your work and expect it to last long.

bro it's pricy, but get the festool tracksaw with the dust extractor, you can do those door inside. All in its about 1k , which is significant, but think how much time you save going up and down the stairs with the doors especially that one on the top floor, you get a tiny bit of dust on the floor negliable, charge the same but do them in. 1/4 of the time.

well done mate great video

Id really like to see you do a threshold again, i need my doing and i think i can manage it if im honest

Great video, I would love to learn how to price jobs

Ear defenders with that track saw mate over 140db just so you know

Awesome channel man! Subscribing fo sho!

You asked if there were requests;- do a video on those kneepads. They look interesting! Keep up the good work!

what i like about your videos is you're honest about how much you earn, people tend to not like talking about money but it should be spoken about more... transparency is a good thing

Us carpenter's don't have it easy!! Like the sparks 😅🤣

Great job but you can also turn the plunge saw on its side and cut the door while it’s fitted instead of taking them off

Great job I’m an apprentice carpenter working in the council you may know my dad as well

good video

Nice work 👍👍👍👍

Get yourself a vacuum for your tracksaw, save you moving doors or whatever else your cutting

Love those knee pads. Are they comfy to wear I use snickers trousers with built in soft knee pads. Cheers.

Love your work ethic, transparency and quality of work 🙌🏾 Where are you based?

Using tarp as a moisture barrier is pointless you should of used a proper dpm.. and just replacing the cill is also pointless because it appears to be sitting on the ground.. being a carpenter of 35 years i would of removed the whole frame and rebuilt it making sure to leave some distance between the cill and the ground to stop water ingress..

what do you think of the DCF850? I've got a DCF887 at the moment but looking at getting the 850. From what i've read online they have a lot of issues as the quality is worse compared to the 887

15:30 maybe water puddles just there, maybe the masonry part is not done properly.

great video

Mate you work hard

can you do any electrician work as well? Great video
