Scott, Your strength throughout this series has been your use of language. Your obvious technical knowledge aside, your eloquence, I would argue, is the reason for the success of your series. As a massive fan with zero technical training in any aspect of construction, I have found this series, as well as many of your other videos, absolutely captivating. I am a teacher by trade, and I very much appreciate your attention to detail when it comes to the words you say, the on-screen edits, and the overall coherence of your descriptions of this project. This sure as hell beats what’s on TV. Thank you for this series. Tristan

@bigperm5027 6 лет назад

If I may, I would like to reiterate on what Tristan Reilly said in reference as to the "use of your language". Before watching the Essential Craftsman video series, my outlook on construction work was nothing more than mindless work reserved only for felons, alcoholics and drug addicts. And also let us not forget the egotistical neanderthals, who like to treat apprentices and fellow co-workers like garbage while trying to prove to everyone how "Their way" is the best way. This observation is soley based on my experience. It has gotten to the point where I don't work on a site for more than 2 weeks simply because everyone thinks they can treat you like garbage just because they hired you. Then I stumble across the Essential Craftsman. Since then my outlook on my trade & the industry as a whole has changed. I have learned more from the Essential Craftsman than I have from anyone else I've worked with. His vocabulary makes one realize that construction is more about science than egos. In my view, the Essential Craftsman has made construction work a respectable and honorable profession that is something to be proud of. Thank you, Sir!!!

@mde480 6 лет назад

Tristan Reilly Totally agree! Calming and masterful use of words regardless of the task being explained.

@SumD-EGuy 6 лет назад

Big Perm after working in construction and maintenance for several years, there are many people who are like what you mentioned first unfortunately. They truly give the trades a bad name.

@jpohlman1911 6 лет назад

Essential Craftsman, I am a construction management major, and we are currently learning about concrete; However, my university has decided that we can be taught all of this in a PowerPoint. Without your videos I would not have the slightest clue, and would be rather embarrassed to go to a job site with a degree in construction not even knowing how a retaining wall is poured. Keep up the good work! -Jacob

@2aminitials 6 лет назад

I think anyone from architects to engineers to project managers should be required to actually work in the field they're designing for. It's the only way to see what actually "works." If you want to be a good manager try to get hired on with a general contractor while you're in school.

@dumbo800 6 лет назад

This goes for any planning-type position above actual laborers or performers or anything of that sort. If you write a piece of music that poorly utilizes an instrument's capabilities, it isn't the performers or the venue that is wrong, it is your poor grasp of how to utilize those things.

@joshn3042 6 лет назад

I’m also studying construction management and I want to echo what others have said. I’ve worked part time and summers doing residential and something may look fine on paper but you’ll quickly see why it won’t work in real life. All great leaders need to work their way to leadership not just achieve it by some piece of paper. Josh

@iowamatt2519 6 лет назад

I don't know a successful PM that didn't spend years in the field. It's like when an architect draws a print up and when it gets to something complicated, they stamp "field frame by others". If u know what you're talking about and put in your time, the guys will respect u

By far the best construction videos on RU-vid.

@Joel.Invictus 4 года назад

I stumbled onto this series by accident, but it's so educational and narrated so articulately...it's just a complete pleasure to watch.

@Rudevette 6 лет назад

As a contractor of 20+ years these videos make me envious of the rare places in the world where you can do a job correctly. Around here nobody would pay the kind of money that is required to build that wall. In South Dakota we are now at labor rates that are 50%-60% of what they were in the early 90’s. As materials costs have gone up, project costs have not, meaning the labor and profit have tanked. Your project reminds me of the days when quality construction was a skill that had value......... I miss those days. Keep the videos coming!

@zmakattack 6 лет назад

Hey Scott, Love the video (and the whole series for that matter). If you could in a future video, would you mind giving some pointers on diplomacy. By that I mean how you approached your neighbors and got them to split some of the cost. What concerns they had and how you put their mind at ease. Thanks and keep the videos coming. Your are the videos that are a must click as soon as they pop up.

@mechanicojoe 6 лет назад

These videos are worth their weight in gold. Teaching good habits when it comes to concrete. When I worked for a company doing footing, walls, and flat work, it was a joke compared to what I see now. Wish I could be onsite here learning the good habits and not the bad. Thats why Im going to school! Learn the good habits so I can pass it along.

@660stihl 6 лет назад

I really appreciate you posting these vids. Thanks!

@pgfollett 6 лет назад

This channel has earned a place on my "must see" list. Scott has joined Engels Coach Shop, Northmen, Tips from a Shipwright, Ishitani Furniture and David Boeff on that list. Skill, experience, great video editing and solid workmanship forms the baseline. Third Coast Craftsman is close to making the list, too. Man, I enjoy watching and learning from every single video. Can't wait for the next one.

@brucea3103 6 лет назад

I understand the appeal of a front dumper, but after so many years of driving a rear dumper, I'm not sure I like the idea of running the chute and backing up at the same time. I've always concentrated on backing into position then seeing where I'm going while watching the chute man. I've been on big jobs where there was a dedicated man for backing in trucks, but usually they needed him to scrape the chutes off to keep from trailing to the wash out area. Either the pump man or another driver would back a truck in. Nice to see that the neighbor is letting you use his lot for storage and washout and such. ALSO.....85 yards of donated concrete? Wow.

@jayphillips4058 5 лет назад

I am 24 years in a front discharge, starting with old Rite-ways and a couple old rear-dumps off and on, but 85% Oshkosh and a lot of years in Oshkosh S-series 7 axles 6WD similar to those in the vid. I feel the opposite, as I started before there were line and boom pumps and work in mountainous terrain, sometimes pretty sketchy jobsites. However, I think a good deal of it depends on what a guy runs most, and how comfortable he feels. I can't imagine getting into the spots we do in a rear discharge, and it's funny when we occasionally pour for crews who haven't worked with fronts. They're leery of letting me pour without them running the chute, and it takes a bit before they understand that I'm able to do a better job than what they can because I control 8 points of motion. However, due to vastly increased use of pumps, good front discharge drivers are getting harder to find. There are a LOT of things you learn when all your work is truck poured all day long. I think pumps are great things, and really like seeing that boom in the air when a jobsite is tough to even get to, but they are diminishing the skill level of the average operator. Likely you and I have somewhat similar backgrounds, and could switch operational frames if we needed to, but probably would prefer not to. :)

@williamjames6150 5 лет назад

I really enjoy all of your videos, even the things I already know or think I know. Even your video on how to use a ratchet strap, gives me confidence in what I am doing right and I seem to always learn something new. Im very thankful to have stumbled upon your videos and appreciate your clean vocabulary as I watch a lot of your videos with my 4 year old. Thank you!!!!

@KruTerry 6 лет назад

I learn something from all of your videos, even these on a subject (concrete walls) that I work with every day. You are so knowledgeable and transmit that knowledge so clearly that both the complete newbie can grasp the concepts while seasoned professionals will find nuggets of insight they possibly never thought of before. Thank you for your hard work and your dedication to our craft.

@aussiebloke609 6 лет назад

Absolutely loving this series. It's not too hard to find videos of landscaping, or roofing, or installing drywall or floors...but this puts it all in context, going through the entire process from selecting the lot to finished product. Nothing better than seeing how everything you do influences everything else to come. Thanks, mate. :-D

@MarkWarbington 6 лет назад

@stefano101 6 лет назад

Looks great! I like that your finisher pays good attention to clean/scrape the form for paste as he goes. Hugely important for any new guys reading comments. Less work when stripping and increases the life of the formwork.

My last job involved an extensive amount of concrete work (heavy highway/municipal infrastructure). I went into that job from a background of HVAC/building maintenance. Being a greenhorn around a bunch of grizziled construction workers was more than a little intimidating. I just wish your channel and this content existed about 6 years ago! A lesson like this at the start of that job would have been invaluable. Great content! Keep it up!

I have a bachelors of science in “concrete industry management”, I’ve worked in highly technical industrial settings and now I’m a self employed concrete contractor in my mid 30’s. I enjoy watching your channel. I’m the type that typically gets fired up on the engineering/ technical details, and i have to say that you are basically relating ACI standards to the field. I don’t know how to do everything in the concrete business, but I always learn and make sure it’s done correctly when the opportunity arises. Nice view! Cheers and best wishes

Superb! Great to see this project moving along - such a brilliant series! Here in the UK, I've never seen a front loading concrete truck before this series, certainly makes a good deal of sense though, I wonder if they'll take off over here at some point? Regarding the steps from the retaining wall, I'm biased as I am an architectural designer, but I would draw you back to the overall design for the site to save hiccups like this. That being said, hands up who's never had an oversight?! :) Keep them coming, it's great to see it grow!

@StopTryingSoHard 4 года назад

They have actually been around for a long time, they don't appear to be spreading any further. You'll mostly only see them in the Northeast US, Upper Midwest and apparently Central Oregon, though at least here in North Texas, the companies do have them and will occasionally use them for certain situations.

Only ONE oversight? Incredible job. I also really loved your detailed description of a BLOW-OUT ... cuz ... I had one once, and a neighbor came to my rescue. Fortunately, we stopped the blow-out before it became a catastrophe. From that experience, I can tell you know how to do a GREAT JOB!! p.s. I ditto the other compliments for your excellent verbal descriptions, which match the video perfectly.
