I appreciate it! Those other guys are so dope. Carpenters deserve more respect. The work is hard, and the pay is good. The more we shine a light on the processes of carpentry the better in my opinion. Thank you again for watching.
You're sharing of knowledge is absolutely awesome Antonio, don't stop. Another way new guys can figure out the process is to pay attention to where the material is set on the jobsite, someone wants something you'll know where to find what's needed.
I'm trying man. I realize the more videos I do. The better I will be able to communicate and produce a better product. I have a lot of ideas. Just need to implement them.
Loving this I am done with my first week of the start of my 6weeks training here in Local 1243 of Alaska thank you for these videos man I am learning in class but this is just extra lessons at home💪🏽 preciate you brother
Love the video and content! Been doin carpentry off and on for 8 years now and am finally going to the union after watching your videos. Super important how you emphasized blowouts, especially when building really tall walls a blowout can lead to serious injury.
Don't know your goals with the channel but, I know many many will find it very helpful. Do panels come with predilled pin holes? Do you have a video on forming and pouring a addition with concrete roof? Are colums needed for the tied to the existing wall portion of the roof? Just in case, where I'm from, we build concrete boxes as houses.
Most the panel have to be drilled. A lot of times you have to drill and epoxy rebar in to existing walls. I'm not sure about the colum part. These walls weren't on a roof. Let me know if you have any more questions. Thank you for watching
Another great video, very informative and appreciate it as always, happy to say I got my application in for the local Carpenter Union now just a waiting game to get an interview
@@unscriptedwithantonio well at the information meeting the instructor said they're about 6-9 months backed up with interviews but really depends on your application, I'm hoping that me being 35 with years of experience is gonna help me jump ahead, not to say I deserve a faster shot than anyone else but I'm not a brand new guy to the trade I could be put on a job site tomorrow and hold my own
@@unscriptedwithantonio got as real as I could in the application and I'll spare the comment section the details but basically said I know it's a privilege to work in such an organization and receive the pay and benefits offered and to be honest all of that would literally change the life and future for my family as I do have 2 young boys 2 and 4 years old), we wanna be able to buy a house and newer nicer vehicles and actually be able to save money without having to transfer back out to pay a bill
Holy thick panels, carry 2 by 8 all day and its rought couldnt imagine moving those. Also wish u made a point abt leveling a planing the build side of the wall. Struggling with that
Most high-rises are both concrete and drywall framing. Depending on what kind of carpenter you are. EIS does more inside carpentry(like drywall and steel stud framing)
I wanna join the union but I have fear of heights is there a way where you choose that you can only build like stores or houses or stuff but not high buildings? 😭lol
Thanks for this. Question - I have a 8" thick wall and 6" wall. Both will have 3/4 ply, 2x4 horizontal and double vertical 2x4 - Both sides. What sizes of snap tie length for both? 8 " is a pool
the snap ties should be determined by the wall thickness. (6" and 8") strongback ties have longer tails then the horizontals. does that answer your question?
Newbie here. I'm wondering, why do a foundation first with rebar, then add cement again? Why not cement all at once? Wouldn't the concrete be stronger?
Your foundations are concrete. It's possible to pour the foundation and walls at the same time. It just takes a lot more material. And a lot more kicking and bracing. Pouring them all at once is a lot of pressure on the formwork.
@Smallnuts yeah, we did the footings (foundations) for the walls first then the retaining walls. Mono pours are dangerous. It's very easy for something to go wrong and then you end up wasting a lot of concrete.
@Unscripted with Antonio I have one more question. Why do retaining walls have drains but, other cement slabs have rocks underneath and are several feet high? I take it because retaining walls the water can sink into dirt and all the weight can loosen wall? Where a slab 2-3ft high on dirt up against a cinderblock wall with rocks underneath cement, won't sink?
Thanks bro, just got a dispatch from hall ... Heading into Phillips 66 refinery here in Bay area for concrete work. Going in as a journeyman with mostly framing experience and a bit of concrete in my apprenticeship.... Hopefully it goes well
I got into the carpenter apprenticeship program. I’m on the edge on finding sponsor. I went to couple big construction company and ask them if they wanted to sponsor me and a lot of them not hiring apprentice. What can I do to get my first union job and I can finish my 4 year apprenticeship. Any tips on how to find a sponsor and how would I go out and ask. Should I start out finding smaller company’s. Then when big project comes up go see if they are hiring ?
In Oregon almost any job with a crane is a union job. So I had to "chase cranes". Go down to your local and get the out of work list. A lot of times they will have numbers and addresses of companies that need carpenters. Congratulations bro! Let me know how I can help. Let's do an interview bro.
Man I just joined local 1977 last week Tuesday and boy I was on a mission, filled out my application Tuesday picked up work list Wednesday, called some companies no luck, Thursday same thing called about 25 companies asking if they were hiring apprentices luckily my 25th call was. I was transferred to a super he hired me on spot he sent my hire letter next day went yo apply for union card paid dues and now I start Tuesday.
@@unscriptedwithantonio what can you do as carpenter ? Are you still learning as journeyman ? Can you tell me more about the concrete side of carpentry
@@asiancambo21 I'm still learning all the time. Different products and systems are coming out all the time. I have the last concrete video coming out in a couple days.
@@asiancambo21 when you go to class. You don't really have exams. It's more learning new things and asking question. Then you applying this new knowledge on the shop floor. It's much more hands on.
Just found your channel and thank you first and foremost. My only question is what type of drug test. I only smoke Mary but I plan on stopping before starting my apprenticeship
Stop Now. They test for weed. I haven't smoked in like 6 years. I have a drink on the weekend that's it. The carpenters union changed my life. It's worth it.
You need to stop immediately and let that shit get out of your system, over here they drug test after interview and before getting into the apprenticeship, if you fail the drug test you have to wait 12 months to apply again
@@kturcotte I totally agree. Even though I didn't get tested right after the interview. I got test for my first job within 3 days of my interview. It's just not worth it.
@@unscriptedwithantonio absolutely I quit smoking bud probably 7 years ago now when I was switching jobs and didn't know where I was gonna end up, haven't gone back since
Chillin I just got indentured into the carpenters union here in Los Angeles. I am a non union residential framer. But the company I am joining is concrete based. Do you know of any channels that have pour in place column and wall content. Lol. I want to get a little more informed. Ps: I appreciate your content. That drone footage is tight.
As a second year apprentice working union this is definitely what I was looking for. Much appreciation from Boston.
If I can help. Then it makes this whole thing worth it.

@Unscripted with Antonio so this would be for buildings not 3ft retaining walls? I'm just trying to get knowledge.
@Smallnuts yeah, we did the footings (foundations) for the walls first then the retaining walls. Mono pours are dangerous. It's very easy for something to go wrong and then you end up wasting a lot of concrete.

Where a slab 2-3ft high on dirt up against a cinderblock wall with rocks underneath cement, won't sink?
What's the standard size bit you use for predrilling panels?
Depends on the wall. But most of the time, we use 5/8ths. It's just a little bit bigger than the 9/16th head of Snap ties.

How you enjoy concrete side of carpenters, you work outside all the time ?
Carpenter work outside a lot. But I've gone multiple winter working inside. It all depends on what you are doing.

@@asiancambo21 I'm still learning all the time. Different products and systems are coming out all the time. I have the last concrete video coming out in a couple days.
Great job
Thank you I have one more video on the subject I'm working on right now.
i havent found any reviews on marijuana use.. how strict are they with the use of marijuana i kno jobesites usually tests you on site
I will make video about that subject tonight. Short answer you can't smoke weed
Why don't you guys pin the bottom plate first, before anything?
We pin the bottom plate. On one side first. But the other side you have to get the ties in first. My bad if I didn't make that clear in the video.
What kind of carpenter are you? And is the pay better then nurses pay ?
I'm a general carpenter. We get paid $45 an hour. Nurses make around $47 an hour. But most nurses have student loan debt.
@@unscriptedwithantonio so is carpenter school really like college ? With exam and finals
