it's got brown hair in today's video we're going to talk about the tools you will need
if you are studying your apprenticeship so basically the first thing you need is a tool
bar and all the things that are in earth 2 about such as a hammer you don't have to
spend three hundred sixty dollars on a hammer it's not really necessary for the first year a
speed square I would recommend either this or a combination square but this is pretty
handy for when you're first starting out and you don't know how to cut you can put that
in put something like that and it gives you a straight line to cut to so if you're just
starting out and you're not really good at the skill saw that could be a handy thing
to have now punch knife a folding ruler and a tape you definitely need a measuring tape and
also for all the mistakes you make you need a nail puller it's just a part of building and
also these two these are very handy for pulling smaller nails out that you can't quite get too
when I started building 14 years ago in 2004 the company I was working with had a little program
where they would give you that buy few the main tools that you needed and it was pretty much a
nail gun that's Bill saw a level and the tools in your tool belt that was pretty much a battery
tools are pretty average at the time it was an electric skillet or so you had a lead as well
after about a year that was when you get a like a drill 19 bolt drove and that was pretty much
it for the first year as an apprentice but now it's a little bit different if I was gonna have
someone work for me and I were you know in their first year these are the things I would expect the
framing gun here in New Zealand is very crucial Dick's like this is quite a common job when you
first start out especially in residential we've got the pest load we don't have air guns in New
Zealand I know over in the States that's still really popular the pneumatic guns but I think all
the hoses and air compressors left the building site before I even started building so we've just
been on gas ever since so it's got the gas thingy so if you think about staying building consider
investing one of these they're not cheap but um might be worth looking at we might get away with
it depends who you work for you might get away with not having one moving on to the electric a
skill so nowadays skill saws are good enough to be battery-powered so I would recommend like a
skill saw and drill combo to get you started 18 volt batteries and two drills and a skill
saw would probably cost you around about maybe $800 the reason you need two drills is because
one will give you a pilot hole and the second one will put the screw in for you so this will
drive the score a lot better and I know I'm pretty sure in some countries like that didn't even let
the apprentices use power tools philosophy right so they just get good at cutting stuff with the
hand sewer and doing it the old way just so they can like you know know how to hammer a
nail right yeah being shooters you know another tool you need if you're just starting out as a
builder is a handsaw it doesn't have to be a funky looking Japanese Hansel like this but I
do recommend this I'd never learned with these these are quite new I've been using it for like
three years but they they're like a razor cut and a super thin blade and they work on the pool the
reason you want a sort of work on the pool is because steel is strong and tension but it's
weak in compression so if you ever try to cut something with a regular old with and saw and
you get in like a snag or something it just bends like that where as well the forceful cutting that
you're doing with this is on the pool so the blade is constantly in tension and you don't get that
you don't get that Bend and last but not least the level so you know that all the work you're
doing is either straight or level or plumb very crucial and it's good for marking stuff it's good
for making sure you're [ __ ] straight good for making sure your decking screws are good sticking
you got to get your dicks Joe no one likes a crooked dick oh what's got you need these you
need to protect and a mask and glasses you need to protect yourself from day one like we didn't
do and then boots and you guys should know the starfish and have to saw this so maybe if you
want to know what you should have further into your apprenticeship let me know in the comments
and perhaps I'll make another video but yeah that's it for today's episode I'll see you guys
next week we will continue with this beautiful dick that we're working on saluton grant yeah as
long as they can like drill holes cut wood yeah major thanks yeah that's basically it
he's gonna film a part but then I felt like a duck holding the camera they gave up
