Your channel caught my eye recently with the fantastic video you did on hammers, which are very dear to me. This Christmas I gave my son my favorite hammer. Below is the note I gave him with it. At 71 this was very special to me. With all your subscribers I don't know if you see this but I think most everybody subscribed will understand the feeling. Dear Adam. I bought this hammer new. It looked a lot shinier than it does now. This hammer has been with me since the beginning of my 48 year career as a carpenter. It has a lot of sweat and broken blisters on it (Don't worry. I cleaned it). All the years I was framing I had this on my left side and my 28 oz.framing hammer on my right. It has been with me or near by on most every job I've been on. But mostly this hammer has many memories. Memories of many years of hard work, laughing with good friends, and the pride of saying I'm a carpenter. Please always treat this as just a hammer but also think of it as a part of me I am very happy to pass on to you. Love you, Dad

I watch my seven year old son bouncing off the walls for hours at a time and all I can think is "boy if I had your energy nowadays I could accomplish anything!"

I'm trying to do as much as I can, trying to remember to not be too tired or too busy to spend quality time with them, I know in another 7 or 8 years they're not gonna be able to make much time for me, and if I don't get it now, I'll never get it.

@tonyvancampen-noaafederal2640 Год назад

The real trick with safety harnesses and the lines is that you don't start by being on the roof working with shingles. You start by being on a roof or tower or other structure and getting comfortable. Then when you're comfortable with the gear, that's when you pick up the hammer and start working. I've been working on ships masts for about 20 years and I won't work with out the gear, but like I said, I've built my comfort level with the gear. And you're right it is a young man's game. As always, a great video and good job getting the youngsters started, letting them get comfortable with the gear.

@arthurmckelvey3892 Год назад

Thanks for another insightful video. Many years ago I had the opportunity to buy a concrete paving business. I spent hours in the small bedroom estimating and forecasting and then my wife came into the room carrying our first, new born baby. She said "Arthur, I know you will give 110% to this business but please remember, you only have one chance to be a dad." She left the room. I reflected and realised she was right. I abandoned my plans and focused on a different career that would give me more time at home. I never regretted it - we are very close as a family and I love spending time with her and her family. As always you show great skill in your work and wisdom in your commentary. Happy new year and every blessing in completing the project. Best wishes from N. Ireland.

Scott, I too gave up roofing years ago (except for putting a new roof on my daughter's garden shed, which I slipped on the tar paper and fell off the roof. 6' to the ground). Let the young guys do the roofing. I think my first roof was around 14-15 with my father. Humping shingles up on the ladder. I even did a roof on my first house with torn ligaments in my ankle. You are so right about time with the kids. At 75 now I'm starting to think about my longevity here. Even though my parents lived to 97 & 100, I haven't seen my contract with the Father, but I wonder where the time has gone. I tried to spend time with the kids as they grew up by coaching and doing other things with them. But like you, I worked an awful lot of 12-16 hour days. Keep up the good work!

I don't know if it's a midwest thing or just old fashioned but we used tar a lot for extra protection. Thanks again for the videos.

@lain2779 Год назад

Important to remember most of OSHA is written in the blood of those before us. Companies that push their workers too far, skimp on safety equipment, demands speed and progress over slow and steady. Yes there are things that often feels silly, and when you are doing your own thing, you are free to ignore them. But they are written to make sure those that can't or are afraid to speak up for themselves, have regulations that they can lean on to hopefully come back home unharmed.

@dirk-janijssel2744 Год назад

Agree

@nathanhildebrandt2672 Год назад

Every time a construction accident happens, OSHA needs to make a new rule. People meeting on the highway @ 230 kmh! One of them just needs to tilt the wheel a tiny bit, and they're goners! If OSHA legislated highways, they would have banned cars guaranteed. Remember when government used OSHA logic and told us it's too dangerous to leave our house because sickness exists... and then millions died of starvation and drug overdoses... same concept. Weighing pros and cons and taking individual responsibility is the freedom that I desire to live under.

@libertypastor1307 Год назад

@@nathanhildebrandt2672 Amen. Been doing construction, roofing and handyman work of all kinds, and I never put safety "first", I'm just aware and trust the Lord for good judgment and use the brain He gave me. Trusting government and living by rules created out of fear only leads to less awareness and less ingenuity. _Proverbs 21:31 [KJV] The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but _*_safety is of the LORD._* You can take all the precautions in the world, but when it's your time to die, or to be taught a lesson, or to reap some pain or discomfort that you have sown, you cannot escape the judgment of the Lord. With all the OSHA regulations, accidents and injuries still happen! Also insurance does not prevent accidents. No matter how many people join hands to prevent or reimburse you for the costs of injuries, you don't escape injuries if you do not trust the Lord. _Proverbs 16:5 [KJV] Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished._ My trust is in the Lord, and the abilities He has given me to be alert, aware, and to trust my instincts and reflexes. It's worked for me for 40+ years; and I have never broken a bone, and have never had to go to a hospital due to injury on the job since I began working for myself 40+ years ago.

When I was roofing about a decade ago, we we would use the exact same setup for steep pitches and roofs (edge scaffold, toe boards) always without restraints. Never felt unsafe. We would also shingle above a platform style zoom boom in tight spots. Skateboard shoes are the ticket for roofing - never boots. You're basically walking on a skate deck the entire day when on a roof and the short ankles let you stay flat footed and balanced.

Hi Scott. I used this same system to put a new roof on my house a few years ago. One of the things I appreciated about the tiger paw underlayment was how much cooler it was on the roof than the black tar paper. It's really a great system overall for the (non-tradesman) homeowner that is willing to do a little research, follow the directions, and take their time to carefully install.

@shawnleask4711 Год назад

Having been using fall pro on industrial projects in Oilberta in Canuckastan most of my working life, I utilized harnesses with front d-rings that worked on ladders with a cable run. Recently I completed an 8/12 roofing job, and used that same style harness. Having that rope, and rope grab, in front makes a big difference in regards to to safety and efficiency. The rope tends to be less of a tripping hazard, it is less like to become twisted, it is easier to adjust going up and down thew roof.

Child Labor! The big problem in our country today. The first roof I sat on and learned to shingle, I was 10 years old. I learned a trade and respect for my elders knowing how hard they work. Now being sixty-five, I have decided to retire and have had a wonderful life of providing for my family. My company is still running (40 years) with my daughter taking the helm while having her brother and a lifelong GM to back her up. That is now the fourth generation taking over. A word of advice for the younger crowd. I watched your entire video after fifty years of roofing. One can always learn new techniques, though I do agree with the additional cost and minor hazards caused by safety lines. (PIA) Due to the labor shortage, you young tradesmen will be as valuable as doctors and lawyers able to earn as much in the coming years should you dedicate yourself to a specialized trade. Good job! The application is perfect with a little additional movement due to setup. Loved your advise on raising children!

4:00 Oh foo, Scott. That’s frustration talking. You have mastered many techniques and this is one you haven’t yet. I’m pretty sure young dogs are doing it every day. Meantime, Merry Christmas to you and yours and thanks for the company. You are a small but important part of my life and I’m glad you’re in it.

Overall good video for a carpenter. As a roofer, this video makes me very thankful for my Equipters, pitch hoppers, hook blades, and dewalt battery nailers. The Pitch hoppers would've been absolutely great here!

As a father of a 5 year old girl, I shed tears as you discussed your daughter growing up too fast. So true

Thank you for this Scott. I'll be doing this on a 3:12 pitch shed roof that is 8ft at the start and 10ft off the ground at the peak. It's been a while since I've done roofing so this refresher is helpful. - John

The few times I did roofing I used the regular blade that you used but I carried a second knife with a hook-blade. Both have their best places for use. My roofing jobs were easy because the temperature was always 90 degrees F and above which makes the asphalt roofing real easy to cut. But, it was easy to drive nails clear through the roofing.
