i dont get it?

@@meandnature6452 Hello. I am an old carpenter now. Michy is a young carpenter. I am pleased again and again with the way she figures out carpentry, much like I once did Some folks look at wood and see heavy dangerous hard work. Carpenters that have a love for it, get joy from the struggles and accomplishment The old carpenter I spoke of, saw that I would be one of those who found joy in carpentry. He was teasing me by saying sawdust would make me crazy. Crazy to love hard work, crazy about the smell of cutting through a resinous knot, crazy about cleaning up huge piles of sawdust...Michy is at the beginning stages of that kind of crazy enjoyment of the struggle and accomplishment. Im sorry you didn't understand, but I am pretty sure, Michy is in the beginning stages of sawdust euphoria.

@@trimbaker1893 Im just starting my carpenter life, as a 19 year old, and woodworking is one of my favourite things to do

@@meandnature6452 : ) be careful. the sawdust will make you crazy. Smiling. Hmmmm, what wisdom to share... get a good broom. Not a push broom. push brooms do just that, push the dirt around. Get a good "corn broom" we used to call them. The kind of broom with the good stiff bristles and a wooden handle. Get a dust pan too. put your name on the dust pan. Get to work early, clean up. stay late, clean up. I find lost tools, mistakes and nails that need to be pounded further, just by always cleaning up at the end of the day. People do better work when its clean. I think it is a form of respect to clean up. Don't get angry when you have to clean other peoples mess. I used to get angry about that, then I realized I would be angry every day if I tried to change my work space by being angry. As soon as it is clean, I feel better and I can enjoy my work. Don't let anyone teach you to use a different standard when the work you are doing " won't ever be seen" because they would rather be slob carpenters. It all matters. Every time, always. I hope you have a buddy that enjoys the woodworking too. My buddy Mike and I worked together for about fourty years and we did nice work. Mike died. I miss him. I frame a house with the same care that goes in to trimming one out. It makes me smile each time I "meet" a carpenter who truly enjoys the sawdust euphoria I spoke of. Oh, one more thing...never use power tools when you have anything else on your mind. If you have to go to the bathroom or your mate is on your mind, go take care of it and come back when you can work safely. Never use the tool to hold up your body weight. for instance, do not lean on the board you are pushing through the table saw. If you keep one foot planted beneath your face no matter what you are doing, you will not fall onto the tool if things go horribly wrong. Try it. One foot under your face, look down, see your foot now you can move your hands any where around you and you do not fall. A boxer taught me that and it has kept me off the blade a time or two. Never hold the work within the length of the nail when using a nail gun. they curl out often enough and if your hand is never within the length of the nail, it wont get stitched to the work. ( ouch) I know. ok...This is not the Trimbaker show...I wish you a satisfying life with woodworking putting food on the table any where you go. Smiling, George.

Trimbaker, great words of advice right there and great insight from experience, you can't buy experience! I approach life on the same way as you do, bit of a perfectionist but take great pleasure from knowing I do the best job I can, whatever the job is.. Best regards from London England 👍💪😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🙏

I actually have not been around this type of work. didn't grow up with it. became a RN at 25, but always interested in home Reno projects. picked up a chainsaw in 2016/2017, got the sawmill in 2018, and grew from there!

Ps: you are an amazing Carpenter!

Really? I thought you were east Kootenay area? Cool, good to know! We have a ton of that wood, and I hate to waste it so keen to keep trying it here and there. It looks like your place is coming along nicely! You are much more of a professional than me!

I smile every time I swing the hammer 😊

Wow! Thank you! I’m glad you think it’s beautiful 🤩

Not a safe mixed for the environment...

Thank girl!! I do often dream about stuff, but I’m usually awake! Lol. I lay awake at night thinking about all these things 😉
