Day in the Life of an Aussie Carpenter

- I took my gopro with me to film what a day on site looks like.
I have a new obvious tool co belt which I got to have a quick look at today, and a full review of that will be out next week!
Nice trick with the ladder whilst ripping 🥇also there is an Aussie invention of a magnetic saw dust picker upperra. 😆
Nice vid mate.
You need a small stapler to nail those packers on- so much quicker and better.
why do yall love your nails so much, as an european woodworker it look like so much extra work
Tensile strength. Screws more brittle
Awesome work mate and which area do you working in Australia I am Certificate VIII in Carpentry student looking for an apprenticeship.
Good work 👍👍
Do you have to work alone all the time?
When planing the studs down, when do you do at the bottom where the planner can’t get into ?
If it's out that far down you need to fix your bottom plate
The top and bottom may be fine but someone put the studs in without the bows the same way so it puts the middle out
@couchsquad9227 that's when ya use the straight edge plate to plate and put it along side the stud vertically to see which stud needs what
Sledge hammer 😂
Nice vid! Been a chippy for 16 years and as of only 2 years ago when ripping timber use the measurements on the base plate of the circ saw, alot quicker than scribing a line. Works wonders ✌🏾
doesn’t he explain why he does do that??
@@khanrichardson397 yea but they're both not good methods...using the saw guide will allways be better.
@MrDeano-eu9rg if your an average carpenter like most :)
@@MrDeano-eu9rg especially while framing.
@glitch2250 depends how much you need to do, I'll scribe a line if I'm checking out in studs fir lintels an go by eye but to rip full lengths down you'd be an idiot to not use the saw guide.
Need to invest in some pack out bro changed my life 😂
Is the timber treated in any way?
It isn't usually internally. Occasionally you'll get termite treated stuff.
In NZ we use H1.2 for our interior framing which is generally CCA treated (sometimes LOSP) to prevent bora - all part of the Building Code which I believe is quite similiar to Aus@@glitch2250
Just with kindness.
The houses are so badly built in parts of Aus. they'll be demolished long before the borers do any damage. LOL. The building industry here is as shoddy as.
Awesome work mate👍
get yourself a packout mate, ive spent like 1400 on mine so far and i dont regret it at all
Welcome
My husband is a skilled carpenter and needs work in Australia. Could you help him? He searched a lot on the Indeed website and did not find anything
We have 3 children and he needs work
well done dave mate
Why not being something to put under your knees? Putting your knees directly on concrete really doesn't look easy on the kness....
Great video mate! you should implement and create an outro too for your videos, makes the video end in a more cleaner way I feel like. Anyways keep up the good work!
Mate you shouldn’t be planning internal wall frame studs. You have just made so much more work for your self. the other side of the wall will have a bow too, then you are putting on those silly packers on the other side. Crimp the stud and cleat the rest of the stud. Super easy and the right way to do it.
Coming from a Aussie carpenter.
Hope this helps for next time
Made more work? By the time you run a cut thru the stud, push it out and put in a wedge, then take the noggin out, cut and nail a cleat to the side of the stud, re-cut the noggin to fit, nail the noggin back in, not to mention your going to carry around how many sticks of pine to cut up as cleats to straighten 50 studs. Any chippy doing that on my job see ya later
God bless you bro
Great video !!!! thanks
What are you using to pack your studs here?
Masonite packers
Looked like 5mm ply strips planed down
3mm Masonite strips
Great video Dave
You think its worthy buy titanium hammer for 400 bucks, is it indestructible?
They are the best f ing purchase if your a chippy.
There’s a ripping guide attachment for the saw. Why are your noggings the same width as your studs. Better to use 70mm nogs on a 90mm internal frame.
Ayyy whaaat the hell. A chippy using a level and checking walls are flat. Dont see that on the jobs i tile. Walls 10mm out of plumb over 2m lol.
Good vid!
How come you don't cripple your internal ?
I'm assuming you're not Australian and you're referring to why he's buzzing the walks instead of crippling? It's quicker and more efficient to buzz 98% of the time unless the stud is so fucked and even then its quicker to just replace it.
Yeah mate I'm not Australian
I'm just some dumbass
Go and learn carpentry little man
You plane externals cripple internals bud.
I run a big crew and frame custom houses all over Sydney
Go back to Tafe or finish your apprenticeship.
@@julianwalters1994 It take about 5 seconds to buzz a bowing IN stud to straight and to pack one takes about 30 seconds which includes running the straight edge from top plate to bottom plate and marking the point it needs 1mm where it finishes needing 1mm, I run a bead of liquid nails which will adhere instantly to hold in place and removes soft sheet nail time, it also prevents the Masonite from absorbing water and curling. Now your saying cutting the stud, crippling it straight, cutting a block for either side nailing it and potentially knocking the nog out is more efficient? Come on mate, there's a reason noone does it your way.
@@MrDeano-eu9rg geeze mate you go to much time on your hands
Good luck with your frame straightening I feel sorry for the client 🙏
what would you charge to supply and frame an entire 4 bed house these days. just a generic build, what kind of ballpark figure could i expect
Very hard job
ussually we work 1 day a week and the rest we just sit on site
" my broom is at home " ....you sound like a sparx
I am carpenter I have 3 year experience can I do work with you
Don't forget to wear knee pads bro
good from far but far from good...
1st 🔨
all the gear no idea, 3 battery tool systems when power was a meter away, would've spent more time setting up tools and packing away then the actual job, would've only needed max 4 tools for the day........ it baffles me that "chippies" like yourself can get out a nail gun out for a couple dozen nails when you've got a Martinez, people just don't hand nail anymore....... no dust pan brush or a saw guide or nail puller......... come on dude, that's basic first year stuff. Aussie Carpenter of 9 years.....
I disagree. Would have taken longer to pull apart a rack of nails and hand nail it back together. Much easier to grab the gun out the box click in the battery and press a button? Not to mention tripping over leads all day sucks a** . Granted, I prefer some actual power tools over battery powered.
womp womp
@@glitch2250 again you're 100% right man, what asswipes running leads when they don't have to?
Nail guns are fun, hammers are hard work.
@aussie8114 risky comment. All the old heads will say " that's the problem with this day and age blah blah" but I agree it's so much more efficient and 100% true
