Scott Brown here see that everybody and today's exciting episode we're going to talk about four
lists as I've learned from four different carpenters all right today we're tidying up
picking up the things from that retaining wall job and getting rid of some rubbish but that's
not what today is exciting episode is about welcome back to the show part two the funny
house the [ __ ] oh good all right takes me ages a bonus but yeah good getting back get
into it goodbye it looks good though yeah the air when it's done oh yeah yeah for sure yeah will do
I have a lot no [ __ ] tour yeah in carpentry and probably the most things in life the more
people you get to learn from the beautifully you said like a use in a Twitter krohler and
other cars like that and when I was gonna go get a van I was working with this guy called Conrad
who had a similar platform for this his phone was a lot higher we're sort of right up to the
top of the window he did that because his table saw was quite big so he basically looked at his
table saw and made the platform net height so he could get everything under it and then on
the top he just had plans and notepads and diaries and stuff and as you can see I can
still get to my tools while filling the van with rubbish Conrad also also taught me some sign
language Conrad was deaf still ISM I'm pretty sure every time he did this and mean that you
were doing a rough job ruff-ruff and I need two hands for this one and this this mean Bhushan
so this is an old billboard that we scored it's not a top hole um but we used it as if it was
the top of them but uh stennis - maybe how much stuff you this with I've already filled a 9 meter
been up as well so it's just the remaining stuff you happy with the finished product
so when I did my apprenticeship the guy I served my time with his name was guy he's
a pretty intense character every time you heard his truck pull up to the job you'd you sort of
grab any tool you could and and look busy because otherwise you'd jump down your throat I learned a
lot from him but one of the things that stick out of my mind is that you should never feel
as though you're above the physical element of a job he was running a multi-million dollar building
business and whenever a big concrete pool was happening he'll get his overalls on and he'll
be pushing the wheelbarrow and grabbing a shovel and and I feel like that's a good listen to keep
in mind if you're running a business don't be afraid to get your hands dirty feel like I sort
of followed that to a fault however but I tried I tried to do everything and yeah that can be a
mistake as well so you got to you got to balance that the physical work and the and the paperwork
how much was that three points with the safe three tons three
tons just over just to see how much the rubbish of that yeah what a temper
another person I learned a lot from another carpenter my front was my uncle sandy over
in Edinburgh I loved them worked with him for months amounts over a year and we jumped in the
van every single day and it's hard to simplify what I learned from him until like one line it
was more just working with them day in day out and seeing in a real calm demeanor and
the way he deals with customers is something I feel like I've sort of taken on myself he's
really good at sort of you know explaining things breaking things down calm way where
you know the first guy worked for you he was quite a full-on character so I haven't
having those two different personality types to learn from his work good thing for them so that
was three tons just over you see how much the rubbish ways what's her gift silver maybe ten
I'm saying Fagin shakeela say that 400 today how many how much weight was it 8550 all right the
fourth and final list and we're gonna talk about in today's exciting episode was from a carpenter
very close to me literally my father he basically taught me to be fussy to work till it's sort of
high standard is probably the better way to put it I worked at his house like two or three months
and every morning without father caught me up and we'll talk about whatever I was doing that there
and it always in the phone call the same way don't leave any pencil marks if you guys are seen if you
guys have seen his backyard is just covered in [ __ ] and that's what he was talking about leaving
the pencil marks when you screw the [ __ ] off but he wants two pencil marks because he wants to
be dead stray but you can't leave the pencil marks so market screw and you get rid of it so yeah work
into a high standard oh I got that from my old man I think yeah so this mess my basic point is that
if you were just starting in boating carpentry learn from as many people as you possibly can you
guys are lucky you guys got YouTube now so you can see carpenters all over the world and learn
from them and pick and choose the different things that you like and form your own style of carpentry
are you hungry pattern stopping that's croissant but a cheetah cheese some ham
and some tomato tomato relish that's good that was good Oh before we end this exciting episode
I just told - I just got a call from the guy from Akita he's going to drop off something right now
all right did we have it it's gonna be interesting trying that out got
it for a couple of weeks stay tuned guys it'll be in a hip said me you
