Dude for 2 years that’s amazing. I just hit my 2 years last week and I don’t think I could do all that myself. I’m actually moving on from my current employer soon to hopefully put myself in a better position to learn the trade and being able to live on my own. This video is inspirational to say the least. Update: I just started my new job as an apprentice commercial carpenter a month ago. This place has classes that teach you the trade, and they’re very committed to keeping their employees happy. I’m working with people closer to my age so it’s a lot easier to communicate, and they take the time out to explain the project to you. Very grateful for where I’m at, and I can thank this video for it. It’s given me the encouragement needed to step out of a toxic work environment, and go somewhere that I’m appreciated.

@anonymous9739

@@bunnyhillrock10 I went to Vo-tech for 3 years in high school to get a basic understanding of the trade. (They also do adult classes for 1 year) Once I graduated high school, some people from my class went union to get an apprenticeship, and I got started under a non-union general contractor in my area which gave me on the job training. I loved the work, but I knew I couldn’t reach my full potential there so I went looking for another place to work upon being employed with that guy for two years. I know that a lot of contractors look for at least 2 years of experience, so I at least had that under my belt. I then found the company that I work for now and they offer an apprenticeship program which takes 5 years to complete. Now this is how I went about it, but it’s really about word of mouth in this trade or just researching a lot about what programs are offered within certain companies.

My 2 cents, if it means anything to ya! I've been framing for 26 years, and think you'd be a great asset to any crew

The best way to get good, is work with a very very very good carpenter. If your just a robot pounding nails your in trouble.

That’s right much love young man 👷🔨🪚⛏️⚒️

Excellent work. One tip, if you can put those toe boards 33" from the bottom the roofers can install a row of Ice Guard (with a 3" wrap onto fascia) without having to remove the tie boards first! They'll love you. Good luck

Dude you got skill to pay the bills ..as a old broke down carpenter that started in framing take care of your body and you will be rewarded with a great career that no matter what you will be employed ..this year makes my 33 year working on houses I framed about 15 years before I moved on to remodeling them

If you're serious, and aren't going to waste anyone's time, call round all the local REPUTABLE builders and ask if they'd hire an carpentry apprentice. If they say yes ask them what training they would offer - you don't want to end up as a labourer forever - and what they'd pay at each point of progression in your training - yr1, yr 2, etc.. You want to be in school for a part of the week/year (however it works where you are) so you learn the theory as well as the practical.

In the U.S. being in the trades it's all self motivated. Get out of a state like NY with all union. Look at the data and union areas hold back income and skills. 10 years of labor shortage in front of you so you'll always have a job. Don't say you want to be a carpenter in the west, say you want to be a framer. If you want to move to trim or something else later do that after you've got a few years. Always say yes when the boss asks if you want extra hours
