Carpentry Tips & Tricks

Accurate

The painters that paint my widows shut but complain if I leave a single nail hole in the bead?

Yeah, fuck those guys. They know what spackle is for.
Sincerely, every carpenter ever.

always look out for the next guy in line. can you imagine what the world would look like if we all did that

listen you know on that nail is inserted whether it's right or not stop passing it off to the other trade such as you said painters that can get you caused and punch in the face the crying out loud you're not better than the next guy you only as good as your last days work

Yea this is true but nobody actually does it, it drives the putty guy nuts!!!

How can a simple “hack” which must be known by 99% of all people get so many comments?

Isn’t this shit common sense?

True story

Oldest trick in the book but a good one

Take care of the painters .
The crew just presented me with a huge tub of red vine licorice.
It was my trophy for leaving no nails to set

You're welcome

Just bash it in. Painters come with cock to fill. Unless it's a chick. Chicks don't have cock.
They want it though.
With cock all things are man-splainable.

YESSS thaaankkkk youuu!!

Can confirm. Worked for a painter. Watched him punch the teeth out of a chippy that kept doing this on his jobs.

Painters need to know their place on the ladder.

Electrician
Plumber
Carpenter
Bricklayer
Painter
Lanourer

They need to stop bitchin and get back to their painting while the big dogs work ✌️

could also just take pliers and pull it instead if something made for cutting

Don't be lazy period.. f the painters

5n1 tool works best.

If you grab ahold of the nail with pliers and wiggle it back and forth it will brake off under the surface of the wood. No block of wood needed and no pulling needed and no running the risk of it breaking just above the surface.

Wow thank you … very cool tip

Ok

This applies to pretty much everything in life in general, straighten your screws, leave things clean for the next guy etc. Just shows you're your character.

Duh.

Real one

So it's not a thing to take it out?🤷

I typically use my speed square to do this task. It works great. Just remember... it's not a speed square, if you have to go and get it !

Something to be said about hand nailing and setting nails with punch

How about…





No.

Also we have pincers

I was arguing with my boss about this today. Who's job is it to drive home any pins left proud? The carpenter or the decorator?

That’s my stud guard quit shooting it 😂

Thank you!!!!! From a painter!

I can easily say most trim guys around here just uselong enough nails and more than enough air pressure to Pentwater nail plates sooo

f the painters payback for dropping paint on the floor for th le flooring guys to clean up

I agree. Try to do this on all my stuff daily at work. If it's 1 that doesn't write sure under I knock it out of it's like this I try to pull it out break off under so can still paint

No painters will always find something to wine about

On the back of my business card it says, 'That's ok, the painters will get it'.

Wow qrwa geniusz 😂

that's one of those simple things that nobody does

As a maintenance person, we’ll love you too 😅

Yeah because if it's new home construction, we're leaving it. We get paid to paint and fill holes ..if we start pulling nails then the carpenter will leave more and if he has to come back he'll start to check his work..

Carpentry is a lazy profession in itself. Get your little sissy hands dirty and do a real job.

Smh old tip 😂grandpa tip

Hi🎉🎉🎉❤

Absolutely. I tell my boys this all the time. People still appreciate those who pay attention to detail. 👍

Idc about the painters lol , my job is to do it right and don’t leave no nails out. ..

Wood is not just a material; it tells a story of craftsmanship and nature."
