    Had an old timer tell me once, never let your scrap/trash hit the ground. I have always done this and it defintly saves time when you incorporate the thought behind it. I bought a dump trailer and then only touch trash once. If you throw it on the ground and have a trailer you have to hand unload that's alot of work and bending over. Same applies to material handling when possible/applicable.

      People correct these guys because the dumbfuckery is so in your face. I mean come on. Are you going to really use the world's shortest saw-zall blade ever conceived to take the corner out of a notch that size? Are you going to call a wooden beam a girder? Sure if you want to get laughed at and corrected. The people that correct these guys are people who would make the video perfect or wouldn't make it at all. And my god the PPE on this guy to use the leafblower. Wow. Not a job I'd want to be on.

He's shown a few of the same tips and tricks as you guys have, in this case notching posts by cutting a bunch of slices, and same with the tape measure video. Most of all though he's just such an inspiration. He's the human manifestation of Integrity if ever there was one.

    Hey there's a technique I learnt years ago & that is to put a scrap piece of timber Infront of the end notch & when you strike it with the hammer head not the claw it takes out all the notches in one go clean.
    Very minimal cleanup required with the chisel afterwards, it worked for me but try it out for yourself & see if the results are any different to your method 👍

Cord free jobsites are all the rage these days and are very efficient and easy to obtain. 👍😃
