This guy looks like a rocket scientist but instead he's one of the best carpenters I've ever seen. Respect!!

These are great tips! I learned these by the 8th grade working in my families construction business. My dad is a home builder and architect and taught me everything I know from excavation, surveying, concrete, rough and finish carpentry you name it! Now in my 30s and still using them regularly!

"Good fast professional work is beautiful and people can afford it." Great wisdom.

How i cut wood. Measure 3 times, mark my cutting lane, then measure 2 times more, then cut, realize i made a mistake and start all over again.

I’ve watched this a few times to refresh my understanding of some of these advanced skills and I am always amazed. My brother is a master carpenter, but it wasn’t until recently that I truly understood and appreciated the complexity and sheer guts it takes to do this job.

"You can also rip like this..." No. No, sir, I cannot. YOU can rip like that. I learned a lot watching this that I will definitely use in the future. But, like my very smart brother once said "knowing how a thing is done is not the same as knowing how to do it. If it were we'd all be journeyman bricklayers." Thanks again for these great, direct and down to earth lessons.
