Welcome to another episode of Talking Trades, where Zack digs into what it takes to be a carpenter. Join the conversation as Zack and Matt explore the roots of carpentry, pathways into the trade, and the essential qualities for success in this dynamic field.
Master Carpenter, Zack, and Builder, Matt, explore the career trajectory of a junior carpenter, shedding light on the opportunities and challenges along the way. Starting with entry-level tasks like picking up trash and sweeping, junior carpenters absorb knowledge from tradespeople while gradually mastering essential skills such as using a saw and laying out framing. The conversation progresses to highlight the incremental increase in wages as skills improve, with potential earnings reaching $87 an hour for highly skilled tradespeople. Zack emphasizes the importance of work ethic, skill development, and long-term planning in achieving success in the carpentry field.
As the discussion unfolds, Matt and Zack candidly address the stigma surrounding blue-collar professions, sharing personal anecdotes and insights into overcoming societal perceptions. They emphasize the value of self-worth, empathy, and resilience in navigating the challenges of the industry while maintaining a fulfilling work-life balance. Gain a deeper understanding of the diverse career paths available in carpentry and the potential for personal and professional growth within the field.

I'm a General Contractor in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, with over a dozen years in the business. I handle a wide range of tasks myself, from full scale electrical & plumbing, tiling, roofing, carpentry, and framing to drywall, taping, mudding, and even the less glamorous chores like taking out the trash and sweeping. All this while holding down a full-time night shift job. Staying humble through hard work is key. One thing I'm immensely grateful for is social media and KZread. They've been invaluable resources for learning and growth over the past decade. Matt, your videos have been instrumental in my development, and I'm so glad you chose to do this "Talking Trades" series. I'm extremely grateful for The Build Show and truly enjoyed this video with Zach, watching him work and explain the carpentry side of things. Thank you, guys.
This guy is awesome. Please - we need more people on the planet like Zach. This video is fantastic!
Yeah Matt, you have a Primetime TV celeb on your channel. Way to go Zach, you're doing a great job on This Old House. You are an on screen natural. Congratulations on your well earned success and keep up the good work!
I worked for 28 years in a union shop for telecom co. . When I left and worked for 2yrs. as an electricians helper witeing new houses. It didn't take long to realize I should have been doing that , ( wiring new houses), all my life. I just loved it.
I met a fellow from Ireland and this was his story. In high school they ask you what you might want to do, ex: tradsmen? He said he wanted to be an electrician so they set it up and after graduating high school he went right into craft school . In 4 years he graduated as an electrician. Not just an electrican, but a licensed electrician. Thatwas the first time I was truly jealous. We need a system like that hear in our coutry. By the way, there wasn't a question about the trade that he couldn't answer, even the boss relied on his knowledge.
Zack, ya hit the nail on the head...
My grandfather always said “you stop learning when they put you in the ground “ as an farmer turned carpenter it been fun learning.

The Earth does not move.
Anyone can make money, it's not a goal. Being a craftsmen is life for fillings.
Success and the "must get bigger" mentality often can be as destructive to your business as not getting work.
If you do carpentry you are doing fractal geometry on the fly each and every day.
