By the way, those Sharpie markers are great for letting your surgeon know which leg to NOT operate on.
They should really teach things like this in school instead of what they teach.
Especially if you're having shoulder surgery.
I've had many surgeries over the years, and, yes, the pre-op preps actually do this. I've had "not this side (X)" or "Other side", etc. as a tattoo for days after surgery.
Surgeon: "Wait, what is tha--OH snap! Good lookin' out homie." *pats the unconscious bald patient's head.*
I Love your videos! Always a winner! Hope you heal quickly.
Thank you so much!
Trying to reverse the math on how he calculated 38,440 hours. At 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, that's 961 weeks, or 18.5 years less 1 week.
Doubt he's only ever worked 8s
Except for the 5 months in my 20's when I worked 14s and then used the money to buy this place I'm making video in now...
Dog hours? 😂
A typical work year is 2080 hours.
Take your hourly wage, say $21 an hour, double and your annual salary ($42,000).
He’s a carpenter 24h a day.
Alright finish setup but I would make some changes.
Graphgear 1000 mechanical pencil (accurate and consistent),
quick open olfa (the wheel takes too long and is pointless),
Veritas 6 inch precision layout square (favourite tool),
Rockler marking and measuring pouch (your pouch is kinda mediocre honestly),
Personally I run mini japanese flat bars for the pouch (the titans/richards get caught on everything),
also fatmax is just ok... Stabila and Tajima are better for finishing
Some nice picks🍻I’ll check em out
I have one of those nail sets, They are also very handy as a center punch or removing hinge pins.
definitely! I had mentioned that in part of the video that I cut, lol nobody wants to watch a 25 minute ramble of man that thinks way to much about tools!
@@TheFunnyCarpenterThat's actually my most typical type of tool videos lol
Thank you for the Canadian links. Nice touch. 👍
Thanks for checking them out Daniel
I literally (old school meaning!) always take away something useful from every one of your videos. Thanks, again!🙂
Thank you!
that isn't the old school meaning. it's the meaningless, new-school meaning. to see why, take "literally" out of your sentence and see how much better it gets.
Give me a knife and a flat bar and I'll move the world. Or at least some baseboard.
I know sharpie is such an iconic name for permanent markers. But man I learned real quick Milwaukee fine point markers are the best. When I worked at HD in Lumber and loading department I would some how always get the caps to fall off and it would leak all inside my apron Or they would dry out and never work when I needed them to, man a manager gave a Milwaukee one where the cap clip broke so couldn’t “sell” it anymore. Thing lasted forever and still have it today some 5 years later
Nice try sneaking a haircut and beard trim between the intro and the 2nd scene onward
You got me!
I was really impressed with that flat bar and how smoothly it did the job. I used to have what I considered to be a complete tool set but unfortunately never had one of those. That would've saved me so many headaches and so much time.
Thanks for the heads-up. Always appreciate your vids!
Thanks for watching mate
I use two flat bar pry tools. One to open the trim. A second one to pry further down the trim.
I use putty knives from the Dollar Tree as a backing surface when prying.
I made a bent Dollar Tree putty knife by securing it in a vise and heating is with a propane torch, then beat it to an angle with a hammer. I used it for working on aluminum siding. It is also good for pulling in tight gaps.
I use a Dollar Tree painter's too for pulling weeds from cracks in concrete.
Another flat too to get is a long flat brick chisel. (12l x 7/8w x 3/8). I use it to nail in tight spaces (close together studs or behind lap siding) where it is impossible to swing a hammer. I lay the chisel on the nail head and beat the bar with a hammer to drive the nail in.
No pouch, sew seat belt webbing on right side of pants, 2 pencils(nice tip btw)one marker preferably Milwaukee, next, Knipex pliers in the deep side pocket on(always handles down) carpenter jeans, many different brands, they all change, tiny flashlight clipped into front right pocket along with the work pro quick change box cutter(you can pay more, but you get less), lighter in right rear pocket(I don't smoke, but you need fire), left rear for bits, and for tape measure that clips to front right side when being used, Milwaukee Autolock 16', otherwise, the smallest auto lock I can find, but checked to make sure it's accurate. Everything else rotates as needed for job. No belt, suspenders. Hold ups, best clip for not destroying your pants. Enjoy all EDC from others. thanks for sharing.
No reach around please.
Lol, nice outtakes pre-haircut and beard trim
That's roughly it!
Its crazy how many old heads laugh at my titan pry bar. I have a big pry as well but I rarely need it. I even use it to lift cabinets while Im shimming. Its ridiculously strong for what it is. Still yet to deform mine years later.
I'm a laid off union framer, concentrate form, steel stud exterior, dens/glass, and shaft walls. But Breh , union isn't finding me any companies,!taking a residential, finish carpenter job , I don't know dick about residential finish work, but I got bills to pay, so your channel has become my bible.
The Olfa.
Best knife ever.
On Industrial sites in Saskatchewan (30-year red seal, stuck in concrete because, well, talent or lack of) the Olfa is banned.
Replaced with the automatic retractable blade knife.
The worst knife ever.
You caught my attention when you said “reach around.”
Old job site habits die hard!
Stanley knife for drywall. All you need is a discarded cutoff wheel to sharpen and I can make a blade last 2 days before I flip it.
🇦🇺 Awesome! You always have great advice. I suppose that's what experience gives you. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers down under Maria, have great weekend!
Do you ever check your or reply to your emails? Your Etsy needs more sizes
Thanks Steve, I’ll sort that out tonight🍻
I have a small occidental leather pouch. It's clip on. Holds tape, knife, pencil, spring punch, marker, and a screwdriver. Basically everything I need. I ditched big tool bags years ago
once you put down the big pouch you never go back!
We always called those flat bars “B” bars because they were invented for bee keepers to open thier hive boxes. Of course that could just bee an urban myth. 😊
Man I really appreciate your bloopers. I feel like same exact way trying to find my words sometimes lol. Great rig there. I agree on everything. I will recommend trying Milwaukee inkzall sharpies. I would say they're much more durable than regular sharpies. This is probably most noticable marking glossy tiles while using a wetsaw and not losing your mark like with normal sharpies.
I have a few of those small pouches of various brands and I use them all the time. Gardening, trim work, cleaning the house, just having the stuff on my hip is so useful. Most recently I decided to measure all of the walls in the part of the basement I am remodeling so I packed one with a pencil, torpedo level, laser measure tool, tape measure, and a painter's tool because why not? I believe if facilitated the job beautifully because I was not fumbling trying to hold things or digging in my pockets.
I’m thrilled you are sharing your “go to” small tools. You save me time and effort and I’m 60, the time thing matters.
For framing I have always used a BIC Cristal Xtra Smooth Ballpoint Pen. They write really well on wood, unless it's really wet, you don't have to sharpen them and they are fine lined. Construction pencils leave too thick of a line for me even for framing.
I do finish and cabinets ? No thinks I use a custom Akibus belt with suspenders those little useless purses throw off your hips and Ultimately ruin your back ? Ask me bout that and that was straight from the surgeon Who fixed mine !
Scratching cabinets and finish ? No exposed metal and in 15 yrs no problems!
Oh damn, Achilles, eh? I tore mine a while ago. That's rough! Hope you're healing up well!
Thanks Funny Man. Always enjoy your videos. I remember you before your meteoric rise in subs! Hope you can benefit in some way($$) from all the folks clamoring for your content.
Thanks buddy🍻
Maybe I missed it, but what is the yellow and green putty knife?
He didn’t cover it, but it’s a painter’s tool, multi use knife
That is a 2" buddy knife for drywall screw hole repair or wood filler stuff. I cut it out of the video because it was a very rambling boring section.
@@TheFunnyCarpenter Thanks. I’m not going to lie: I want one because of the color.
Great video. Thanks for sharing what you've learned during all you experience. I still need to get myself a spring nail set. I'm still using my regular nail set with a hammer, like a cave man.
Good list.
I prefer a specific stile mechanical pencil, a 10mm utility blade, and a metric tape. But, lots of great stuff here.
I would also add a Purdy folding painters tool. I carried the Warner version for years but they don't make them anymore. I like these so much I have been thinking about having a custom version made with better steel, and a 2nd flexible putty blade.
Excellent suggestions. I have never been down with mechanical pencils, they've always lead to frustration
Which of these tools did you use to cut your hair half way into the video? Olfa knife or that pry bar? My money is on the tape measure because it has the longest blade and your hair cut looks like you measured once and cut twice.
was hoping your hair cut would get progressively shorter each time camera came back to you.. missed opportunity
The average carpenter actualy carries and uses lots of different things all over all day long. That is a good tool kit for what you do
By no stretch of imagination is that anything close to a real carpenters tool belt.
Is “finishing” vs. “finish” carpenter a Canada thing? Also, where do you keep nails?
Could be. I’m finishing carpenter it’s all nail guns. I like to keep the strips in the case.
Mr. Funny Carpenter.....question.... will any measuring tape company EVER make a tape with the numbers printed,running from right to left, considering most of us use our left hand to measure, and right hand to mark.....? Could be a million dollar idea...seems everyone needs to be a south paw to properly use a tape. Just a 5am thought from over here on the east coast of Canada (P.E.I.). Keep up the great work on your vids!
Check out FastCap’s Lefty Righty.
Ahhh this looks like the pouch on my 25 yo carpenters belt and my belt has a place for my hammer.
Looks a very good pouch but on trying to order on Amazon in the UK it states it is unable to ship to my address even though it shows the item. Good video though.
Thank you
It's weird to count the hours as a carpenter. And how did you survive all those hours without having a speed square every single hour with you?
I keep my speed square in my tool cart. As an indoor carpenter working in semi finished spaces, I prefer not to carry a giant belt with metal sticking out everywhere
Great video! I love Rhodia pencils because they don’t roll, having a triangular shaped body, but they don’t come in 8B grade 😢
Thanks buddy, I'll have to check them out
Hmm, wonder if that goofy thumb caulk spreader thing could be replaced with a combo screwdriver?
no doubt
Why is that hundreds of you tubers are bearded? Face anonymously?
You have referenced the Red Bar in the past. Do you prefer the Titan mentioned in your video on what tools you carry in what pouch, to the Red Bar version? Ralph
They r basically the same. The titan is fractionally slimmer.
Great haircut and beard trim. How's the Achilles? Thanks for the tips.
Thank you, it’s doing pretty well! I’m getting close to walking in a shoe again
I just recently discovered the spring nail set. So handy to have for trim work. I’ll have to check out those pencils - I’ve been using a .9mm mechanical pencil after getting tired of sharpening the standard yellow variety.
Those spring nail sets are 10/10
That thumb would make a great push stick for the table saw. If you misjudge the distance and slice into it, no harm done.
"I lost a thumb on the table saw, but I still have two more"
Any suggestions for something like this with room for a small flashlight too?
Thanks for the great advice as always!
wow, what happened with your hair and beard, very weird. (that rhymes)
They fell off
A "5 in one " painter's knife and a 2 " chip brush.
Dewalt has a similar pouch I've been using about 20 years. It's a little better for me since it has a utility knife pocket in the outside middle.
Thank you for sharing your experience
Your information has really helped me and improved my work and I very much appreciate that. Yiour Amazon link to the Tool Pouch used in the Greatest Pouch video does not lead to the pouch you feature. Rather, it leads to an Oxo unit that has not clip for a tape measure. Would you please send me the correct Amazon link. I want to purchase it. Thanks very much. My mother was from Wetland, Ontario. I'm from northeast, PA but live in Omaha, NE now.
Thanks for the heads up! It looks to me that the link is correct, the latch for the tape is subtle, are you sure its not the same one?
You're right, the link is correct. I was assuming that the tape latched to a metal clip. I reviewed your video again and saw that the clip was leather. I ordered the Ox version as it is less than half the price of the Kuny model. By the way, your video on how to caulk taught me how to finally caulk well without making a big mess!! Thanks and keep up the great work. Ralph
Instead of snap-off knife blades, I just use pliers and snap off the dull tip of a standard utility knife blade. It's a more comfortable and safer tool to work with when pressing hard on it. Usually can do each end twice. Also in a pocket should be a Knipex "Cobra". Once you discover how handy they are they'll become an EDC item.
Great tips. Thanks.
Love the setup! Mines almost identical but I'll definitely try those pencils out, also give the Milwaukee sharpees a try. They last a lot longer and write better on wet and dirty surfaces, in my experience. Keep the videos coming, I've been a carpenter for over 10 years and I've learned so many great things from you!
Good luck healing, achilles ruptures suck, but it sucks just as much to try and repair them! Great video as always, I will forever keep a sharpie on my person for when I feel the urge to become an amateur banksy in the crapper.
Staedtler pencils are the best. Staedtler Mars mechanical pencil with .9 mm is my go to. I've been using that model for at least 14 years. Great video!
That spring nail set is brilliant. I'll need to get one and try it out. I just got a couple of the springloaded press punch types for metal work.
The Staedtler pencils are/were the go-to when I was in engineering school. My father and his were tool and die makers, and I have a box of Staedtler drafting tools going back almost 100 years, plus the drafting stuff I bought in around '80 for school, still in use. Supergluing the eraser is a brilliant idea. Going to steal that, thank you.
The Titan prybar, yes! Sharpie, forever. Milwaukee came out with their own, which I've found has a more durable tip. or the blade, you can't beat the size of the Olfa. always have those in my various bags, but I tend to use the Milwaukee Fastbacks more. do pretty much everything except fine carpentry work, mostly because I can cut a piece three times, and it's still too short.
I love my old leather pouches, as they last forever. keep one similar to what you're using that goes with my bigger/different electrical/plumbing/? setups. Thanks for posting. (I found that 10 thumbs works marginally better than one.)
Have you seen the swedish brand Cirk-L? They sell a pair of pants with a loop system on them thay allows you to hang any of their addons. or if you want to make your own you can do that too... anyways. the great thing with it is that its very versiltile, you have plenty of space for nails and screws when you need it. if you dont need it you can just unhook the pouch or just slide it to the back where it's not in the way. best workwear i've ever had.
Carpenters don’t use round pencils 😅
you should try one of these 2mm lead holders from staedtler. Comes with a built in sharpener no need to even pull out the knife. One of the best kit i own. I use the Mars technico 780
B is a letter, not a number. Loved the video as usual.
Looks like I have to remake the entire video 🤬🤬
Best tool bags for a professional carpenter not your dewalt junk but carpenters nail bags mad by a cat name Jim Strickland who now deceased. Diamondback hands down although the guys now running the show have cheapened them also. Good luck Americans if you worked as much as ya yammer maybe wed have better control over our politicians
"Well I just recorded that pencil part for 17 minutes" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Great tips and thanks for sharing the info and product links!
Thanks for watching
Advent Vice Versa is currently the best tape measure on the market.
"Sharp as always."
The square headed screw gave you away as a Canadian. Haven’t seen one of those in in 5 years while living in Italy 🇮🇹 🇨🇦
You really cut your hair mid video
Thanks for the advice bought nearly all you recommended along with the commenters. Love this community help!
Thank you.
Love my red bar. It's sooooo strong!!
Not a olfa fan
What's your go to knife?
@@TheFunnyCarpenter I have always used Stanley and sometimes Uline for snapoff blades, but Stanley I found had the best exacto blade body. I don't like Milwaukee at all, because they have failed fast, especially in regards to flooring. Drywall not so much. The feed of Uline is easiest to reload
@@TheFunnyCarpenter did you rupture your Achilles? I had mine almost go, it was swollen like 3/4" for almost 2 yrs, from my shoe back, rubbing on the tendon for 3 days of laying 1700sqft of flooring and stairs, didn't know till I finished that job, and holy smack I threw on a ankle brace fast
@@GoldVP...yes, ruptured it playing basketball😢. How’s yours now?
@@TheFunnyCarpenter I injured it in 2021, last year the swelling finally went away, and tendon is good and solid. About 3/8" wide, normal for both sides. I'm thankful, because man it was iffy if it didn't need surgery.
Two darn years though to heal up fully...of course I'm leary on work shoes now. Ankle support all the way.
Wish you speedy fast healing. Hopefully yours didn't separate
Ok, this got you my sub! Thanks for being real!
Number 'B' pencil LoL
I sue the Titan flat bar per your recommendation in another earlier video, and it is outstanding! I use it all the time on the job! Thanks!
you had me at reach around.
I have the Titan flat bar and it is great.
i like how the first action shot of the titan bar was the richard bar
Love the out takes
You need the knipex knife!!!
I'll have to check it out
A little reach around is always nice.
Cargo shorts.
B no be a number
What is that on your other foot over the sneaker at 4:42?
It’s a leveling pad that straps on to your shoe so that both legs have the same effective length with the boot on. Mitigates the limping gait that would occur otherwise.
Number B eh?
no doubt eh! At some point I became obsessed with the best possible pencil. I used to have to scribe giant cabinet panels to the wall.
👍👍👍. Thank you
Cheers buddy
good shit sir
thanks buddy
I’m a big fan of the Milwaukee markers over a sharpie. The tip seems to be a fair bit more durable so they last longer
I’ve had three Milwaukee permanent markers come apart in my pocket. Never again.
@@DocHogan weird I keep one in my pocket everyday and never had that happen. Even put them through the wash by mistake numerous times and they still work after that
@@warrenwerks I'm probably just lucky like that, but yeah, they've all fallen apart on me when I've had them. Big unhappy messes.
@@DocHogan rightfully so, that would irritate me to no end
Camera work is getting so good! And...yeah i watch these videos cuz you're insanely handsome, and I have a soft spot for Canadian accents, but the handyman tips are a bonus 😎
lol I'll take it, thanks for watching!
Number B!?
B is a #1 pencil.
😎⚒️😎⚒️😎
Cheers Ted, I sure do appreciate yet another view!
Everybody loves a quick little reach around!
No doubt😂
This is accurate fr. Except the for the Olfa (25mm) this is info everyone can really use. Good on ya.
What's your go to knife?
definitely prefer the 25mm blade olfa and the straight shaped case. I use that exact pouch too and find the knife fits better without the rounded base. great vid!!@@TheFunnyCarpenter
Pretty sure B is a letter and not a number. I do agree with your insights, keep up the good content
I c
Why put a tool in your video that is not part of the description
Thanks for all your time and effort. 1in7
