"shout out to my number one carpenter, Jesus!" hahaha😂😂😂legend

This is a great introduction for folks not familiar with the trade. Well done. Also, appreciate the shoutout to our boy, the number 1 carpenter!

"Use my finger as a guide"....is the same technique my neighbor Two Finger Terry uses.

I'v just taken up carpentry at over 40 I can't tell you how much it's helped me with my head. Very satisfying even my mistakes. Good for the soul. Live your posts feel your positive vibe

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!

You're a great teacher. Simple, easy to understand, and no BS. Thank you.

Your humor is off the chart! Thanks for the information and keep us entertained as well.

Such a nicely presented tutorial for the uninitiated like me. Seems like a decent person too. Thank you sir!

Like this guy. Hope he’s staying strong in the Lord. Appreciate this video

I like your style. I'm starting my carpentry journey now as a middle aged man that wants to tinker. This is very helpful and I am excited to learn more from your channel. Thanks much.

I'm thinking about becoming a carpenter. Videos like these motivate me and are very educational. Thank you!!!

Dustin, you really should be wearing safety glasses! That's the mom in me :-) Thank you for all you do.

Thanks. So helpful.

Good to see you back in action

Cool video! I wish I would have learn more handy things related to carpentry!

Great video man thank you

I've been a carpenter for 25 years, and everything you said was correct, except the word smidge is fine, but most people say c-hair. (C stands for See You Next Tuesday.) Good video.

Great video lots of handy tips the only thing I would do differently is when using the speed quare as a gide if ya face it the other way you get a greater reference point to start with on anything less then the width of the square it's easier and more accurate Ive found

Very helpful video, I’m glad Blue Collar Handyman mentioned your channel. Please think about hearing protection...you will thank me when you are my age!👍

Thanks for the tips bro

Hey Dustin, so much in this made me laugh (in a good). Anywho, great video and you're looking real healthy (assuming some lost lbs). Salud!

Using the speed square to stabilize your cut is a great tip

very cool

I work in a convenient store right now and I’m just soo tired of the type of lifestyle I have to live but this will be my start to a new life. One customer came in asked me if I knew someone who does carpentry But point is i can finally do something great and fun

Dude awesome vid bro thanks so much. Lord bless you

Thanks Dustin 😄👍

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.

Lolll great video and it was entertaining. You have a gr8 personality and you convey the content well. Enjoyed it. Now for the nitty gritty... your first tape had a black boxed 16 which represents same as the red one ;). What other trade secrets can you give out? I am sure no one will tell!

Hahahah. Good video man. Thanks !! 😂😂

😂 really enjoyed this video

Gracias senor Dustin

This guy is awesome

Good Stuff.

Metric tapes and blueprints are such a blessing

Nice

I learned something so had to subscribe 🤦‍♂️👍🤣

Buy the most expensive tape measure you can find and you'll never lose it again!

Love the intro.

Thanks man, im only 15 and im really interested in Carpentry, this helped alot

Amen broooooooo‼️

Great video Dustin! Love how good you are at explaining things! Although I am sure that Jesus would have used a Milwaukee circular saw not a Makita! ;)

Great Tips and tricks video! Solid information that was useful. Any tips on how to get involved or making your way to becoming a carpenter?

This is awesome! So funny how he bags out metric and then goes onto describe his loose way of getting a more accurate measurement lol.

Loved the shoutout to ...Jesus!!!!😁😁

Sir I like your video very nice, thank you sir.👏

This was awesome. How did you get the 1x 4 to stay in place during the rip cut? I didn’t see clamps.

Exelente i will subscribe lol

Gave major props to Jesus . Way to go!!

Straight Up Jesus👍🏽❤😀 Navajo Woman Carpenter 18yrs, working on my 2nd Million ✌🏽cool vids

18 years old first day as a carpenter yesterday went great i have long way to go though .🙇🏽

super super. hope you got subtitle for your videos is perfect 😘

Interior finish carpenters go into 32nds for mitre cuts etc

Warm greetings from Romania!

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!

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!

Amen

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 lied on my resume here iam getting tips 🤫😂😂

I'm thinking of being a carpenter when I grow up

Nice lecturing, even for me as a non native speaker

Im just going into carpentry didnt realize how precise you have to be with your cutting and drilling could be a lil nerve wrecking because I struggle with anxiety its definitely not easy

If you turn your speed square to the other side of the board it will be easier to cut as you are pushing with your right arm and pulling with your left. Provided you are right handed.

I'm currently on my way for a recruitment for carpentry. I'm super nervous

Watched to the end so im obligated to comment. Enjoy the algorithm

Kick him out of the club! Trade secrets just given out to the public, how could you?! I use a lot of these technics daily, I wish the new guy only knew half of this. Most of them show up and read a tape like " 38 and 3 little black lines" Great video! Keep up the great content!

"They'll kick me out of the club" Good sir you withhold our club, of course I can't speak for all of us because that wood be rotten.

I’m only 12 but this is my dream job

God bless you for shouting OUT JESUS. You a real one.

I wish you guys would catch up with the rest of the world and use the metric system 😂😂😂👍🏻

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.

Try doing site lay out with a standerd tape metric is your friend

Just started carpentry about 2 months ago building pole barns and garages and we’ve built 6 so far but my boss is Spanish so he is very confusing and he thinks I’m stupid lol

Love this video. Carpenter wannabe

Awesome shout out to Jesus, Dustin! Great video! Thank you for all the great tips and tricks! :-D
