- Before you start your Carpenter Apprentice journey, here are some great tips from The Saw Dust Dude!
I've been in the residential construction industry for over 40 years, and I'm still learning about my passion and trade, carpentry and woodworking. One thing that keeps me going is the fact that it is the most rewarding and fulfilling thing that I have ever done in my life.
I'm confident that this video will clear up some questions that you may have and get you pointed to the path of success as you become a carpenter apprentice!
Thanks for watching. Make sure that you check out my other videos as they will help build better skills for better results!

I want to know what I could do to help my local carpenters union choose me
@@UdxPugilist Not sure, just go in and talk with them, let them see your passion and willingness to work. Also, don't forget other lines of carpentry or woodworking, like a cabinet shop. Good luck. 🍀🍻. Thanks for watching and please Subscribe
I skipped being an apprentice, I got hired with no experience to build fences. I actually enjoy it and am figuring out how to do what I never thought I could.
Awesome, way to go dude!
how?

Thanks Saw Dust Dude!!! I’m a registered Nurse for about 15 years!!! I’m thinking about becoming a Carpenter!!! In fact I have an interview for the Carpenter Apprenticeship next week!!! I’m ready to learn a new Life Skill!!! I am 42 years old making a career change!!! I will be taking a huge pay cut but I truly think the skills that I will learn are gonna be more valuable than money!!!
Good luck!!
I've been a nurse 14 years, turn 40 in September - Considering the same the same change. Where are you located? How was your interview?
I’m an able seaman and am making the switching to this profession. Taking a huge pay cut but the skills will be amazing. I live off grid snd just want to be more skilled and building anything I need out here.
Wow man, im 31 and just made a similar change to finish carpentry. Most of the people in the company are way younger than me with tons more experience and its been overwhelming my first 2 weeks. Im scared im too old to make this change, but everyone tells me i have time, im going to stick to it and hope for the best! Good luck!
@@Angel-zk6pq im around the same age how is it going for you now ?
I’m a woman in the trade been doing it about 3 years now. thank you I needed this reminder. Some times my foreman just rips on me and I wanna just quit. But I’m not a quitter and this is construction can’t expect these men to be nicer just cause I’m a woman in the job site. Crazy times man. I really wish I could be in a more woman industry but the only way is student loans and years of school to make any kind of real money or have career fulfillment. So I’m sticking to going to war everyday. Hope to evolve out of rough carpentry in my future here. Step by step day by day.
Krystine, Thanks for watching the video and glad it encouraged you to keep fighting and moving forward. Study woodworking and carpentry and you'll grow your skills! Yes, it is step by step and day by day, keep learning everyday day. Better skills, better results! Thanks for watching and please Subscribe!🍀🍺
@@TheSawDustDude I got my carpentry text book with me at al times but you are so right I should be studying more things that I’m not learning on the job. Especially framing! I’m so grateful for where I am at but I am starting to get itchy feet and am ready to explore new avenues. Thanks for the wisdom and guidance.
Starting this upcoming monday as an apprentice/laborer! Super excited. My knowledge goes as far as reading a tape measure, but i’m so ready to learn and work! thanks for the video.
Good luck! Thanks for watching!!
how has it been? I've just started my search.
i’m starting tomorrow. i’m nervous as hell but excited to learn and hope it goes good
@@michaeljohnson2347 dude it’s awesome! especially if you have someone fun to work with. Today we did clapboards. But framing is fun too!
@@45blank16 it’s been going great! as long as you listen and try to learn, the guys will respect you. just be ready as a newbie, to be called nicknames for the first few months until the next new kid comes along haha
Man, my pops died about 11 years back and he was a true carpenter thru and thru. We used to build many things together in my younger days before he got sick. He was from eastern Tennessee and you sure do remind me of him, brother. I've been considering following in his footsteps as I go in and out of corporate jobs and running the rat race all these years. Thank you for your insight and your light heartdedness. God Bless
I hit subscribe as soon as I heard “always be learning” and “educament” sounds just like all the carpenters I learned from and basically why I’m here lol. 15 years and still watching videos to pick up skills and tricks in my free time.
Love it my friend, that's how you stay on the top of your game and always in demand, never stop learning. Go get 'em 👍🍺
I just landed a carpenter apprenticeship with no experience, gonna be working on historical homes, new builds, the whole works! So happy my new boss was willing to take me on! I put in my two weeks yesterday, bought some tools today, & learning how to read a tape measure before I start, Cheers buddy! Definitely gonna follow you, & watch your videos, Great stuff man
Awesome, thanks for sharing that exciting news! Thanks for watching and following!
How do you look for apprenticeship. What company would I apply too etc
@@ArmandoGonzalez-yz9uv same question
@@ArmandoGonzalez-yz9uv
Check out your local union they should have programs
How’s it going ? I just started as well with no experience man. What state you from?? And what’s your pay
I really appreciate these videos, i just got into my local union and i’ve been binge watching your videos to prepare for my apprenticeship!
Awesome. Good luck brother 👍
Man reading this comments gave me some motivation, I just got an apprentice carpenter job, leaving the restaurant industry behind, same I’m taking a pay cut (I worked fine dining) and I’m so excited for the journey. I’m out here in the Seattle area. I’m excited man

My grandfather used to buy and refurbish small apartment buildings and would have me pulling nails out of wood all day at 6 years old, mostly to keep me busy. I had a blast doing that.

True, man, getting ripped into on site. I'm back in construction at the age of 40. It's been a rough year, but looking back, I've learned a lot as a labourer. Now attending night school for site carpentry. Thank you for the reminder that you just need to put up with the "banter' on site.
Thanks for watching dude. That's right, hang in there and keep learning all you can! You got this!
Older guy here too looking to try a new career, I appreciate your perspective on the trade that I’m also looking to get into.
Hey bud how's carpentry going for you? Hope you're doing well
Indeed, couple months ago I started as an apprentice in my late 20s. I came in with no experience and to be honest, it has been hard to deal with all the unnecessary rude comments when I ask so called "stupid questions". No such thing called pedagogy in house carpentry yet it seems. People miss understanding. Maybe it'll get better
Thank you my man! I’m thinking about venturing into it.
Good luck, it's a great time to learn a trade and make money. It's hard work but very rewarding! Thanks for watching and please Subscribe 🍀🍺

I grew up swinging a hammer during the summer helping out dad and his smaller company (like 8-10 people on the grew) started out driving the skid steer at 13 years old picking up trash and eventually pouring concrete and framing walls, haven’t did anything in 4-5 years but I’m 24 now and wanting to get back into it. Of course back then we didn’t follow half is OSHA rules and it was like working back in the 80s lol, the company basically retired from everyone old as dirt and dad became one of the most renown trim guys in southern/central Missouri, even had a gig with Kirkwood Stair which is the #1 stair company in the nation.

I used to be an arborist for a bit but I really wanted to go into the trades instead, while still having schooling. Decided to go into an architecture diploma then carpentry to bridge that communication gap between the two. Hopefully only helping my success in the future!
That's a good plan, good luck my friend 🍀. Thanks for watching and please Subscribe 🍺
I worked for a tree service briefly with the intent of making a carreer out of it but I couldnt see myself climbing my whole life, as cool as it is lol hopefully Ill enjoy carpentry just as much

I’m a close to 40 year old disabled combat veteran, after I was medically discharged I went to school for 2 years to become a GM automotive technician I did that for a number of years because I have always liked working on cars (until I became a professional that is haha) and I recently started helping a friend of mine who is a carpenter, he doesn’t have much experience teaching people and much like my old man, he doesn’t have a much patience so I try to secretly pick stuff up as I go. I’ll say this, I do a helluva of a lot for a guy making $10/hr haha! Thank you for this video and I hope there are enough young people (30 and under is what I consider young people) who are willing to do manual labor jobs and put in an honest days work, because I look around and I am frightened by what I see from this generation especially in terms of their work ethic or should I say LACK OF A WORK ETHIC!! I’m glad I was raised by baby boomer parents who instilled hard work and dedication in me, served me well during my years in the military and in life in general. Thank you again sir, definitely subscribing to see more!
Thanks! And Thanks for your service to our country! 🍀🍺
Took a job doing rough in carpentry and trim carpentry. Really like the work, but dealing with a bad crew leader and didn’t want to teach and just being disrespectful to myself and other carpenters. Ugly and rude carpenters are the worst.
Never did anything right even though the “master” carpenter ended up doing exactly what I was working on even though I have “less experience”
That sucks. You see guys like that in trade work and I have worked with my fair share of them. If you are not growing, find another crew because it sounds like you love carpentry. Hang in there dude!
Never Mind Man Great stories!1

Yo this super wholesome wtf lmao. Damn great storyteller too. Almost feels like im with you in person being given advice. Appreciate everything you mentioned 🙏🏽

Born with a hammer in my hand. Started when I was little with my gramps, he was a framer for 20+ years then went to cabinetry. At first it’s going to suck but when you get used to it you will love it! Also to all the rookies out there! There is no such thing as a board stretcher😂😂😂

Guess what i found out recently.
The carpenter in my building makes significantly more than i do. Its was bitter pill to swallow for a "Go get your college degree" advocate
You could imagine what Im telling my kids.

I have been trying to become a carpenter for about almost two years... I grew up with a dad who was a carpenter and he taught me a lot but then he left my life when I became a teenager and didn't really tell me what I shouldve did. Being that he left, It caused a financial situation and I was forced to Dropout of school and help provide for my mom and two younger brothers.... Life for me cant go back to school cuz the "goin is already tough" and the tough has already been going" It seems like where I live nobody will hire you unless your made from a bag of money. I try to explain to employers my situation but nobody cares and because Im 22 people really look at me like im really in control of my own life and im supposed to have a car and stuff everyone else has... the issue is Most of these apprenticeships want you to have a car with a Drivers License and the tools for the job... some maybe no tools necessary... but a car is a must nowadays and though Im not ready to give up yet, because I dont even have a penny to my name right now... I am stuck feeding my family, paying for my mother and younger siblings to live and Im in dire need of freedom and a change.... I'm only at 22 years old struggling to pay my own bills workin at a home depot.... how in the hell am I supposed to get the job as a carpenter? I cant find a job... for someone like me in my situation... how would you go about it? anyone can answer if theyd like. Seems like nobody wants to give me a chance.
Dude, #1 thanks for stepping up and taking care of your family! Yes, not having a car and no tools does make it tough. Good news, your skills and more importantly, your drive will carry you farther than you can imagine! When you least expect it, someone will see your on potential and doors will open up. Dude, I'm 60 and I've seen it happen many times, just don't give up brother!
@@TheSawDustDude Trying and putting my work ethic into everything is all I know sir... Ima have to take your advice and probably keep naggin people. In Colorado everything is so spread out, its always far to get to somewhere BUT ima try.
@@itsbouttogetwestern2217 that's it, you have not because you ask not! So nag away🤣. Also, see if there is a woodworking or cabinet shop that needs help
@@TheSawDustDude Perfect advice I would like to say... I don't know why I never thought to look into a cabinet shop!
WELL THANKS TO YOU I JUST GOT HIRED AT MY FIRST SHOP TODAY! ... HARD WORK DID PAY OFF. IM REALLY EXCITED AND I JUST CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR THE MOTIVATION I NEEDED TO GET MY ASS INTO A SHOP AND NOT UNDERMIND MYSELF... I WENT FROM FOLDING BURRITOS AT TACO BELL FOR MIN WAGE AND NOW I JUST GOT OFFERED TO MAKE MONEY I HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE... IM PRETTY STOKED ABOUT THAT. SO THANKS MAN!
07:25 I’m the same way , looking to starting into this career it’s very helpful , what can I do to start learning , like the basics 👍🙏

Is framing pretty consistent year round? I've worked on and off as a residential painter and there's never much work in the winter.
Speaking only about Residential Construction, It's really about your location. I've always worked in the SE of the US, and depending on the economy, I've never not had work. Thanks for watching and please Subscribe 🍀🍺
@@TheSawDustDude That's funny, man. I live in Oklahoma but I've considered moving to the SE part of the country.
My dad is a foreman and many of my cousins and some uncles also work in the same business. I want to do it but my dad tries and steer me away from it. Should I try it out? Is it a fun career, i know its a hard working one for sure.
Oh, it's hard work but very rewarding. It's served me well. As for you, that's a decision you need to follow. Good luck in all you do my friend 🍀🍺👍
I’m considering getting into carpentry but I hope I could use calculator’s any/all the time cause Math could be challenging in my past
Don't let that slow you down. Hope to shoot a new video soon about tips on how to navigate all those numbers. I have a handful of learning disabilities, don't let that stop you.

If I know nothing about carpentry, would it still be a good idea to be an apprentice? Will I be taught the basics?
Depends on the company, Union and Non Union.. In general, Most guys would start you out as a Laborer, then a Skilled Laborer, then a Carpenter's Helper, etc. But don't be afraid to ask up front, if you are eager to learn, show up daily and on time. Guys will be willing to help you out and teach you this trade. Good luck 🍀🍺. Thanks for watching and please Subscribe!
do u guys deal with alot of heights i wanna be one but i really hate heights
Yes and No. Speaking only of Residential construction. Framing carpenters shouldn't be afraid of heights. You have to work in high and tuff spots. However if you looked more in the Finish Carpentry or woodworking or Cabinet work, you wouldn't have to deal with heights. Good luck as you move forward 🍀. Thanks for watching and please Subscribe 🍺👍
don’t know much about carpentry but i’m starting tomorrow, super nervous
Nervous, that's natural but you've got this. Show up everyday, be early and work hard. If you do those three things, you'll win every time.

where do i apply to be an apprentice?
Edwin, you can look online, do a goggle search. Also, If there is a Carpenter's Union office or simply apply with local construction companies. Also, local community colleges offer certification, that may be another avenue, they have contacts. Good luck!

you shouldn't of cut out your video. It sounded like you wanted to tell a story about when you where in middle school I was actually interested in hearing that Story!
