    You always do great work. I understand when a client wants a task done "on the cheap". I look at my work done without the correct items and it looks horrid to me...but the client is happy.

    Nice one
    I always pin external mitres, on boxing I stick and pin battens on the wall makes it easier and stronger
    I don’t think you’re charging enough, I know you don’t want to lose work but it’s easy to undercharge
    It’s worth putting an extractor on the table saw, save your lungs( that masks not a good one)
    Oh and you could do with a decent mastic gun !

    Great video as always mate. I do think you should bump up your door fitting prices if you can. The market will dictate what you can charge but I think at least an extra 30 per door.

    Another great video m8, great job, as a time served joiner and 😂 life long maintenance chippie, (we never had great battery operated gear in our day, state of the art was a Stanley pump screwdriver and a hand drill) can I ask why your power saw is on the floor rather than working at a comfertable height? I would struggle constantly getting up and down from there 😂

      @@glov961able No, really, I would not bear walking into that room and see that ghastly boxing in - yes I would rather loose an inch or two, but I guess because I can do these things myself I would more like relocate the pipes, maybe under the floor and in the walls.🙂

      I was thinking the same, but looking at the state of the house it's clearly a slapped together rental that they don't care about. To be honest I'd have just done it properly in the first place and either put the pipework under the floor or chased out the wallk, but got to do what the client says I guess.

    Good effort but you could really do with spending a few months shadowing a well schooled carpenter. Theres too much for me to list but you're doing alot of the basics incorrect. Sorry if that offends you, you seem like a decent bloke!

      This is the most unconstructive comment I’ve ever read 😂. Man’s doing a tidy job, takes pride in his work and always checks the customers are happy. You never stop learning as a carpenter and to say he needs to follow a well schooled carpenter is nonsense and insulting. Also laughable from someone who’s tried starting his own utube channel and fell at the first hurdle.
      Thanks for the content mate. Brilliant channel.
