What's The Difference Between A Professional Tradesman And An Amateur?
It's knowledge. It's how many tricks of the trade the tradesman knows to get the job done better and faster.
Here's a video that will show you a few of the basic tricks of the trades that are used every day.

Don’t waste your time on this video
I am always a little skeptical of a woodworker with a store brought workbench. LOL
Wow! This guys a genius! Take notes Ian. Steven .Zach
Your tripping. I already know this $#%&!@* haha notes are for scrubs!
This fools an idiot. I was joking.
measure with a yardstick, mark with spray paint……..cut with a sthil. how many more tricks do ya need?
Thanks for sharing something you were taught ! God bless you
at least you’re trying… does make me wonder why you have a hammer drill to screw in a simple screw? And use blocks when pulling a string and then measure from the string instead of eyeballing it 😉
Morons he was using a impact drill. If you don’t know s**t about tools don’t comment please. At least the guy was trying to teach some unfortunate people who don’t have the skills. I can’t Stand people that comment but they don’t know nothing about the trade.
elementary
I’m not in construction and there are some things I may not know but if you have a square in your back pocket wouldn’t you just use that to square your corners?
Using the method that he did is a lot more accurate. Square using a 10″ edge of a square vs using 3 ft cans be a big difference. Especially if your lumber isn’t completely straight. Also, the 3,4,5 method can be expanded to much larger lengths.
Thanks for the video. I did have fun watching it because we all have different approaches and you never know when a basic will come in handy.
Yea baby!
Well I’m a third generation white (master) carpenter Marco!! What’s the hypotenuse of a right angel?? This guy is a joke!!!
Really? Dude this is for rookies. You’re a green back if I’ve ever seen one.
Here’s a trick , 10 minutes down the drain .
Thus why 1 shouldn’t look for TRICKS !!!!!
Sorry but that was a waste of 10 mins.
Don’t learn the tricks of the trade…..Learn the trade.
Wouldn’t let him build a ginger bread house
This guy was just trying to help. Anyone that has something mean and nasty to say keep it to yourself. Didn’t your momma teach you that if you don’t have anything nice to say then don’t say anything at all?
My boss took all the ladders, can I borrow your tape measure? Wtf?
Um, no. A professional gets paid for what they do, an amateur does it without pay and for the love of it. Neither one connotes any level of skill.
what a joke the majority of you who have posted negative comments towards this dudes video here – bunch of arm chair quarterbacking know-it-all’s that give all the trades a low class outlook. I love running in to you chumps on jobs, because your pompous arrogant supercilious lifestyles make the best jokes during lunches and breaks ,and thats not including your amateur craftsmanship ( a whole other set of jokes). Keeping it as classy as you only know it i guess is what it boils down to, it is what it is.
Feels great to pull 12 and 16 and get 20 dead nuts
The guy with the missing finger . Who is he to be given pointers ?
No pun intended ; )
Its not a trick if the tools were designed to used in such a manner he is describing.
If you set a torpedo level on top of the sq it’ll give you the same result..
Egyptian builders used this technique way back in history. Are pictures on tomb walls . . .
I
You have just waisted most of my $#%&!@*ing day!
Haha that was just terrible!
My ears and eyes are bleeding after watching that!
Mexicans are hack a*s framers, I deal with their garbage every day..
This guy is a douchebag..
I was hoping to learn something useful, I didn’t. Been building homes for 22 years and I would have this guy pushing brooms and fetching coffee only because I don’t think he could carry enough to be a laborer. I only made it to the point where he was using a speed square as a level and he said believe it or not that’s really accurate.
I watched ten mins of this and got 20 mins “dumber”
The string works if the board is straight. I always put a nail sideways under the string at both ends to make sure it doesn’t touch the wood. The framing square thing would work if the wood was “Grade A No 1, STRIGHT” Good luck now a days finding straight lumber. I am a 45 year carpenter retired.
Those that learn the tricks of the trade, never learn the trade 😉
Tools
Good
What a hack! I’d like to ask him, What he would use to get his tape measure down if he left it on the roof?
What a TOOL
as someone ran carnish over 25 years i got out because i can not make thse framers look good and i have to spend 2/3rds of my time TRYING to figure out wth was they thinking!!
he would done better helping people if just showed a crown in a board and all ways faceing same direction
Was this some kind of joke?
in trade there’s a secret, but first learn what is Trade…
I got more from watching Bob The Builder when I was four years old.
Bob the builder wasn’t even around when you were four years old
Here you go Todd Carli. Now you can practice carpentry!
Your are a genius I’m a second generation contractor and u didn’t show any trade secrets dude
