    I had an employee review yesterday and one of the things they brought up was that they liked how I spent time outside of work learning more about the tools I use and they could see that it has made me better at my job. I'm a house painter but we use most of the same tools in carpentry (not least becsuee the GC's out where I am are awful and hire crappy temp crews to pump garbage trim sets and shoddy drywall out.) I have learned quite a bit from your videos and I apply that knowledge on my sites. Thank you!

    • @TheHonestCarpenter
      @TheHonestCarpenter  3 роки тому +14

      That's great to hear about the review, Taylor! You're going to improve way faster than everyone else by delving into the carpentry side of things--all the great painters I know have an extremely wide base of construction knowledge. I'm really glad the videos have helped--good luck in 2021, and be safe!

      A piece of cardboard can work too.
      Poke the nail through a piece of cardboard, and hold _that_ to hold the nail while keeping your fingers out of hammer's way.
      You can tear the cardboard away from the nail once it's got firmly started and doesn't need to be held any more.

    Nice video. Quick paced and informative. I was an interim administrator at our local vo-tech school following my retirement and watched the instructor give most of these tips to his students. He didn’t show them the multi tip screw driver as a nut driver. I asked him if he ever mentioned that to his students. He kind of laughed and told me that he was sure they all knew that trick. But, he told me to come back to his class the following day as he would be asking some of his students individually if they knew the trick. It turns out that many did not know. He was surprised and added that tip to his instructional repertoire.

My hobby is wood working, but with hand tools and my goal is to learn as much as I can so I could do this when I retire God willing. Anyway I purchased a book called Hand Tools Their Ways and Workings by Andrew A. Watson. A very good book for information and easy reading. Thought I had it all figured out. Happy new year.

    * Instead of screwdriver to turn eye bolt, you can also use Crescent adjustable wrench for a different handle angle and for more contact with eye bolt
    * The back side of long-nose pliers have high leverage flats that can be used to crimp stuff (in a pinch ;-)

    Great collection of tips!
    You should include one for the Ladder Mover, it has lots of uses beyond moving ladders.

    The hidden scry in the level square is the one thing here I didn't already know. Thanks friend, I learned something today.

    Well I learned a new one. I never used the brass scribe on the square, nor did i know it was there.

    GREAT video! It's never a bad thing to review a topic you "think" you know a lot about because it's an opportunity to learn something new. I like the tip about the screwdriver bits and how the bit holder works as a nut driver. Keep up the good work.

    Man, this is why I love construction. So much to learn in this industry and I’m not even a carpenter.

      Any tool in your hand becomes a hammer. 😀

    What a great help. Saving this one. On my own now, responsible for an aging house and several outbuildings. I wasn't sure how some tools were used, so this will make 2021 a whole lot easier and more productive. Thanks.

    Thanks - didn't know about the tape measure end tab being 'loose' intentionally. Just thought it was worn !

    • @jic1
      @jic1 3 роки тому

      I knew it was loose intentionally because it's like that on every tape measure I've ever seen, but I didn't know *why* it was loose until now.

    No wonder I never got precise measurements with my tape rule, I've always flattened the rivets down tight with a hammer and punch ,tape against tab, figuring it was just a cheap tape measure! Honest Carpenter= IT'S SUPPOSED TO MOVE!!!! you just got a new subscriber!

      You're not the only one. But tape measures are not terribly accurate to begin with. They'll get you in the ballpark most times though.

    You can also use shaft on 6 in 1 screwdriver to extend hex shank drill bits. This is something that has saved me many times when your drill bit is just not long enough.

    • @tallswede80

      What are you talking about? hex shank drill bits are usually short. They just fall into the shaft.
