What a joke.
What would possess somebody who’s in the trade to give away trade secrets even if they were good ones. Why would you? These are things that we learn in the trade, it’s taken our hard work, blood, sweat and tears to learn these things that’s why we are professionals. pisses me off!
Yes, because I’m sure having seen this someone thats never done it is gonna run out and frame their house now.
Bahaha – The ole’ 3-4-5 method, or educated people call it a hypotenuse of a square.
So this guy is standing roof height yet cant reach the roof
Hi, educated person. A square does not have a hypotenuse. I believe you are referring to Pythagorean theorem. What you are doing is confusing Pythagorean theorem with diagonals of a square which are two totally different things. You should def check yourself before making fun of others.
I really thought this guy might show us something. People that are truly dedicated to their craft don’t mind sharing their knowledge. Some people fear that if they teach someone they will surpass them.
he shoulda been a brain surgeon !!!! LoL
Some people actually like to pass knowledge on to others. We have all learned from someone else.
Lots of people use drivers to “drive” screws in, thus the name “driver”. God who gives a $#%&!@* what he uses to put a screw in anyway?
Fart noise!
Lots of people are stupid.. Tools are designed for a purpose.. I suppose you use a hammer to put in a screw.. People are sheep
Carpenter my a*s !!!! Lmao
not tricks it is Knowledge
I can just see this guy chewing on a hammer in the corner
Amen Jacob

Yea way to make it racial….
Works Good !
Nice work boots.
IN my younger years I loved to watch carpenters working and often times they would show me how to measure and cut etc. One old fellow was showing me how to mark a board to cut- In my intent to be profecent I carefully marked the board and to be sure it could be seen I marked again and again and etc—The old gentleman stood back –looked me inthe eye and said- A carpenter marks once-A jackleg marks twice –A dang fool just keeps on marking—
Popcorn is magic if you don’t know how it works.
LOL! My thoughts exactly
Construction tips for Dummies.
The differance between a good carpenter and a bad carpenter is, a good carpenter knows how to hide his mistakes !
Marco J Vilchez I’m from NY and I’m white and will smoke you any day at framing or in that case anything

I have learned in life these people that cut others down to make themselves feel better about themselves
Things you never knew I bet
Yeah they do. They think they are better than others. This dude was just trying to help.
I don’t have to knock anyone to make myself feel good ,I was stating my opinion, we all got them ……ima express mine
Follow his instructions and you will need a real carpenter to fix your $#%&!@* ups

Kool
Wow that was b.s. show them how to cut a birds mouth a 4/12 pitch
Marco j Vilchez I’d like to see some your work???with pic.
Should have known this guy was a genius wearing fish heads. wasted brain cells
Lmfao.parallel is two objects (lines) that run in the same plane but never intersect… A corner is not parallel nor is two objects that connect end to end..also that cool little gadget called a speed square should be used to get you’re cuts correct,never to level anything properly.. All those numbers and grooves are there for a reason and none have to do with leveling 10″ material.. Only “trick” here that these awesome Mexican framers who can’t square or level a house could learn from this video is the 3-4-5…
Orvis state bountiful Utah 47000 sq/f haha.

Well I learned all of this the first day on the job 8 years ago doing siding, good info for those that don’t know, aka I have a shop full of power tools for the weekend
Gimme a break
this guy is a idiot
Not rocket science, basic geometry
put that string on the face of the board and put a 3/4″ block on each end in front of the nail then tighten string as tight as you can ( yes there is a real trick that will get your string as tight as a guitar string ) then measure the center and you will know what you need to do !! also if I ever had a worker on a site using a speed square to level anything he would no longer be on that site!!
