The top lesson here is to make sure your shirt matches your van 😂
That is important
Toyota make shirts?
The best lesson I have learnt so far:
"Do your best, silicon the rest"
Words of wisdom
Brilliant
Caulk and paint make a carpenter what he ain't
I’ll never forget the first piece of advice that really stuck with me as an apprentice finish carpenter (this was in 1989). My mentor had me running baseboard in closets to practice inside corners. When I finished the first closet, I searched him out to ask if I’d done it “good enough.”
His response was: “Two things. First of all; good enough isn’t. Second; if you need to ask, it’s not.”
I have my own saying ...... “it’s twice as long to do it wrong “
Mine is "Do your best, caulk the rest" 😂
Only kidding.
The builder who taught me gave me several pieces of advice.
1. The secret to building well is knowing when a millimetre matters.
2. Be good at maths (especially sine, cosine and tangent to work out angles and lengths of components). Doing it this way means if a component doesn't fit there is something wrong with the project as a whole.
3. Be efficient. Don't cut and fit one component when you can precut everything and fit it at the same time.
4. Concentrate, especially when using power tools.
5. Be your own contractor. It is the only way you will appreciate how good and profitable you really are.
And from me - re-educate yourself once in your 40's as building is hard on your body and in your 50's you will have to compete with fit 20 year olds if you are still on the tools. For example look at site management, project management, property surveying or specialist consultancy.
Love your channel Scott (from Christchurch)
Chris Packer
Completely agree, first time ever I agree with someone one you tube !
Good tips!
Coming from a framer/carpenter from southern Alabama, couldn’t disagree with any of these tips, exspecially #1 nothing more frustrating then when a green guy is helping frame and chunks a top plate cause it’s a 1/8th short. Really grinds my gears lol
Chris: I truly liked what you said here.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
@@lotus_8773 building terminology and allowable tolerance was what took me the longest. And of course everyone has different terms for different things.
#1 lesson from my old man "If a job is worth doing it's worth doing right". Used to drive me nuts as a kid but now it's my everyday motto.
Lesson 5, do every job as if it was your own house
Lesson 6, keep your word and be on time
Lesson 5, not a chance, I get home put my feet up and forget that I even own any tools.
@@Crooks103 Bro I know exactly what you mean. You can go do some luxury wonk on someone else's place but home is just somewhere to live. So much stuff I should be doing at weekends.. I guess I'll get round to it eventually.
What I learned from you is how to pronounce "Deck" correctly.
You're welcome
A boss of mine way back told me "Never ask anyone who works for you to do something that you wouldn't". From sweeping the floor to working on the line, he was prepared to do it all. Have tried to keep that in mind when I have had people working for me.
My lesson so far and hopefully my entire career. Never stop learning. Keep your eyes open. Nice vid once more. Thanks!
Lesson #5: "All I wanna see is a**holes and elbows." Larry Haun.
Guy was a legend. RIP.
Agreed Sir, he was the King.
Yes Sir
I watched that one makes me want to buy a framing hammer
Legendary teacher.
Top of the morning, almost 2 years later and we're still waiting for that shed tour.
anyone else worried they wasnt getting a video this week?
poiu77 yeah me
"Don't leave pencil-marks."
That'd make a good t-shirt.
yeh, it was on his shirt, didn't u see.
@@mohedaicebear What? I didn't see anything...
The best thing I’ve learnt is the quality of your work is determined by the point at which you say ‘fuck it, that’ll do!’
Lesson 0 before 1!
"you don't make money going back"
As in don't cut corners, have integrity with your work. build it right the first time.
That lesson I learned from paps!
anyone else notice Scott matched his van 4:25
Two ears one mouth, that's what I was advised whilst learning my trade.
Great vids as normal.
Measure twice, forget twice, measure a third time and chip out the face. Top advice.
Measure once cut twice 🤔
Think 3 times, measure twice, and cut once.
Another great video Scott 👍🏻
‘Pretty sure the deaf guys still deaf ‘
😂😂 keep up the good work guys 👌🏻
The point Scott made about the UA-cam and IG access to knowledge gives today’s beginners unprecedented access to info. HOWEVER , BEGINNERS BEWARE! As a 26 year veteran of the trade, I can assure you there’s a lot of terrible advice and technique you must sift through. All I can suggest is use the technique that is repeated by more than one Craftsman. Those are likely the time tested and taught techniques.
Mate, send that bulky saw back to Makita, 30Kg without batteries, not a saw you take from job to job, ask them to borrow a DLS-714Z, 190mm 36V version 11.9Kg 52x300mm cut, I have the 240V version and find it does 90% of jobs from framing to decking, and fits in front of the passenger seat on the floor, No surprises Makita have missed the boat with this saw, Dewalt version weighs less with 2 x 6A batteries installed than the Makita without batteries and has dual voltage, can run on batteries when needed and also plug into 240 if available
Why do they keep giving him stuff for a few weeks!? They're big power tool brand for gawds sake just let the guy keep it lol
If he was using milwaukee or dewalt they would have him kitted out by now for all the positive free advertising he is doing for them
Because this is New Zealand they probably only have 2 lol
@@ssupcuzz5621 brilliant
Also good to see cooking with Paerau is back,
I dunno why I watch a carpentry channel for the food. But I do.
mozismobile
Building makes me hungry, who doesn’t like good food?
Always :)
You have space going to waste in your storage space. It needs a loft.
Good idea
Larry F
I have more tools than space.
@@chefsteven34 I put an addition on my shop thinking I just needed a little more space. Now my addition needs an addition. Tool addiction is no laughing matter.
I recently bought Makita DSL111ZU, have to say that u dont have to worry what ever going to cut. Its pretty heavy but if going multiple places and need cut couple cuts no need find power justs batterys in an ready to go. Been pleasant with work with makita tools.
Im carpenter from finland, enjoying watching your videos, keep it up :)
Here in America we have different terms for sucky carpenters. Jack legs, slopjockeys etc. What are some new zealand terms
In fact I'm personnaly learning a lot from you even I'm not a professional like you but anyway there is a lot of good ideas in your videos ! Thanks for your hard work
damm 85.50$ rubbish in auckland is expensive .. i fill my caged trailer up and its 20$ in tasman
Lesson number 5. Be willing to learn, as much as you think you know, there are always different methods, products and tools to make life easy so be willing to take all advice on board.
Another good episode, keep them coming 👍👍👍
you should earn more subs than u have dude..... its really good calm intuitive content. how can one not enjoying watching it.
What you dint get to keep the Makita ??? Shame on Makita
Very cool! Glad to see you took the best from everyone. Being above nothing but also being calm and patient. That’s cool man. I appreciate that
0:46 SBC I think your bro Paerau is asking you for some help 😁😁
Hey! Super cool that you have that "old billboard" you use as a tarp. Years ago I worked part time with a sign guy (not sign language, but a guy that was in the sign business. Haha). Anyhow, the first time I worked with him we replaced a flex face sign for a bowling alley. I kept the material we removed and to this day I still use it as a tarp! Super heavy duty!
I know nothing about carpentry... so I learn everything from you 😂
Big mistake
Punctual. Big one. Early is best but atleast on time that's a huge one.
I have never asked anyone to do anything I am not prepared to do myself, a couple of yrs ago I was the 'elder statesman' on a concrete pour (4pm) and was left out of the barrow run to do the 'tamping' after a 22yr old couldn't even make 1 barrow load I had to take over, the other 4 were impressed with how I did! told them been doing it for 35+ yrs its part of the job, I also use the 'if I wouldn't leave it like that in my own house, I wont leave it in a customers house' do as I do not as I say
Good advice , I still work on tools at 50 but smarter from experience passed on by old chippys, and keep super fit, I have taught over 10 kids all now on there own now, I recently subbied to a builder and was given a 3rd and 1st yr apprentice , these kids from what your dad said is common issues , I taught these kids old ways , I bought them a square then predrilled holes to fix in offset so not to split joist , no pencil marks ever ,One kids goes thanks the other new more than me " Youth today ? " always undermining progress from his fffups , funny thing is the 3rd yr I asked to mark out a simple hip and dutch gable roof he made pat raft wrong by 10mm and was saying this is way tech taught me so I go have you been taught hancocks book and do you have a construction cal , never been told of this as time money the book has ever length calculated in it and degrees ,mate trade guys have decided to spit out under performing kids and just meet standards not like do best you can with what you have to do and make job spot on , kids now when do raked walls on site measure each one than precalculate using rise of roof , The builder says to me at end of contract thanks for helping kids as they don't get taught in class old ways . Any way love videos and , this is a tip
If your reviewing a product the company should give you that product. Makita tight Ass's.
Got that saw. It's superb. A bit heavy but I also got the wheelie stand.
Gísli Ragnarsson the deawat bat mitre saw is heavy
I couldn't tell you which channel is my favorite, life is too short for that level of nonsense. However, I click your videos faster than a fat kid in a candy factory.
😂 cheers
I am a qualified sparky, but you make me want to become a chippy! Good work mate - your workmanship is top notch!
what are the ear muffs you wear for hearing protection? You have them in your video description but the amazon link doesn’t load.
Was thinking of doing the transfer to New Zealand from the UK (Wales). What’s your opinion?
That conrad guy sounds like a sensible guy, it's all in the name.
"Never move something twice" Steve Helgerson. Great teacher
Another great video by Scott Brown carpentry.
We're all lucky we've got you, Scott!... and Paerau 😉
I like how you picked up a place maker's trailer to do your tip run huehuehue
I think your chill works well with customers and employees. I think it would make working with you.
Mate the video editing is getting better and better. Keep it up👍👍👍
Plastic wheelbarrow? And you call yourself a tradesperson. Pfft... 😂
Only joking.
@Deanoss Last
How dare you assume his/her gender. Scott Brown could identify as female, be gender non-conforming or non-binary for all you know.
Get with the times you narrow minded individual.
@Deanoss Last
PS, I'm just messing with you. 😂
One excellent Video SBC .. well done. Keep the great work up😎👍🛠🔨🔧.
i already knew wat the bullshit sign language was😂😂
It's a good one
Be courteous & 15mins early for everything. (Also, concentrate and work hard in school so you don’t have to be a carpenter 😂😂)
What about people who have wanted to be a carpenter since they were kids, thats a shit thing to say
@@JimTom. take a joke mate, but he's right its a rough road.
Measure twice cut once
did the shirt come with the van?
One of my favourite SoundCloud tracks.....a talking lobster?? Raaack!! Lol
Dude! Those hard pans in the music at the end were totally amazing! Totally unexpected!
Hey Scott! I recently just found your channel and I’ve watched a few videos. I’ve learnt a few things from ya too. I have recently started my apprenticeship and do you have any other tips I could possibly use?
Keep up the videos and I’ll keep watching!
Lesson I just learnt from Scott Brown...get your offsider to pick up the heavy and gungy rubbish.
I think Scott your dad's lesson is the most important quality always shines through, anyone that can live by the standard " is that what I would be happy with" is a person I would want to do a job for me
How do you pronounce Paerau? sounds like u say Prado like a car. Also why is Prado lol, working aa chippy when clearly he could be on Masterchef and hanging out with Gordon Ramsay on kitchen nightmares etc. U2 r living the dream. Cheers
5:00 wow. You dont sort the garbage out?? In Denmark we have multible containers for each type. Wood, plastic, compost ect. You just burn the whole lot?
I worked with a Conrad last year, he's a licenced builder who is deaf.. maybe the same guy? He's now got his own cladding business named Pukeko. Maybe the same guy?
Get off your skate'e and get onto a pair of 207's , down hill at Porters heights ,mainland NZ , haha ,that would be something ,Cheers Scott ,from across the ditch . Think about it ?
While finishing something if I ask myself “is this right?” Even if I think it for a second, it means it’s not and it’s easier to fix at the time.
Honesty is the best policy.
im now 37 years old and still remember what my teacher always used to say, ''if you measure exactly, you mark exactly, and you cut exactly, then it will fit exactly ,and you know what, he was exactly right .
Scott you mentioned that you where going to modify your mobile work bench, don't know if you have seen this but with modifications this might suit your van needs?
ua-cam.com/video/jUNZVaGAE3E/v-deo.html
Anyway keep making mean videos dude chuuur!
The best lesson I’ve learned is “Don’t do drugs” but I’ve failed
Its all good as long as you dont let it affect the growth of your being.
So long as you only do drugs at work, getting paid for it. Is that a lifestyle business?
I was a new construction plumber for 4 years and I used to sniff a hell of a lot of oxy’s on the job. Let’s just say things didn’t turn out to pretty when I was done.
Good Lord... 85.50. not sure about the exchange rate but 350kg would be like $18 round here.
All great lessons … and I had to giggle at the palpable ‘boredom’ during the cooking segment 🤣👌🏼
Is 25 too late to begin a trade? Going back to fuck all wage and not being qualified till 29 is putting me off a bit. I did a 4 year college degree and it was the worst decision I ever made, complete waste of time I much prefer working with my hands
Just another auckland delivery driver at the end..... even if from makita , " oh mate need a hand to put it in my work place, OOH na cant do it (some excuse) , wait few min well i cant do it myself so either ring your boss or i do it ..... then helps bring it in .... haha bastards need to stay in the office .....
Good to the clean up. The world loves a tidy builder. Well done
Mine works too. I used the Woodglut plans and performed it without any problems.
UA-cam still isn’t the same as experience and actually learning to be that trade. So many people do stuff horribly wrong when they try to save money and do it themselves. Then they end up having to pay someone to do it right and tear out the old stuff. That or they don’t notice they did it wrong until something bad actually happens.
You should see the landfill I have to go to get rid of debris, I have to unload right next to regular garbage trucks.
Its enough to make you puke sometimes.
I hope you don't often carry a ton in your trailer because it's likely rated for less than that:
www.curtmfg.com/trailer-weight#SmallUtilityTrailer a typical cargo load is about 900 kg
Where can we get one of those mathcing van Tees? Im itchin to support the homie with sum official SBC swag! Cmon Scott you gotta start sellin some merch!
Thanks Scott, now were learning from you. Nice to see the chef again.
I'm trippin how you work out of a self storage. Is that what it is or a bunch or garage's you can work out of? In the states you cant work out of a unit...
Pretty sure Conrad is still deaf. Biggest take away: the bullshit sign language sign.
I honestly guessed 350kg. I’ve done a lot of tip runs lately 😂
Could anyone please tell me what's the name of the music when it comes to Parau cheif time? It's kind of cool
The Makita man probably won't be dropping off more things to try after that :)
Any chance you would take a novice under your wing and teach him the ropes:)?
please don't refer to your dad as the old man as i am a father to my children it herts me when they try and say the old man but no worries if your father is fine with this then ok but he is your father not the old man
your videos i enjoy very much paul father to my lovely three girls
hi from Tauranga, Scott. what were those alphabet cutouts near the end ? would love to see a photo
wait.. so you paid $85,50 to get rid of some awesome scrap wood? or did you get paid for it?
Why do you have vans with glass windows like a bus in New Zealand and not a van that You could stand up in🤔
I wonder how many comments are going to be about that tight haircut?!
Looking forward to seeing you use the Makita.
my motto, never bad mouth another persons job. just stay quiet and do your best.
What happened to Conrad? Is he still in the building game?
i went to new zealand, this guy told me he wanted to give me a shed tour and then he would show me his deck
If your joints aint tight, fill them up with glue and sh!+e
$85! WOW!
you need a barrel to burn that wood in...
Good to see the return of cooking with Paerau!
You never too old to learn knew things.
