1. That's not an impact driver, it's just a regular drill 2. Of course you can use an impact driver one handed. I'd recommend you don't try to criticise people doing things you don't understand.

@@mattwood1977 he’s rounded every screw off and I wasn’t meaning to critized just should have used two hands to try place it in better

@@mattwood1977 I’ve done plenty of joinery gardening and landscaping mate run my own jobs so

Same with me i started a year ago im now 14 and can do all of this stuff shown in the video.

That's good that you're able to learn from your father but most people don't have parents with those skills who can teach them and so actually need to learn from courses like this. Also, the reality is that you need to do this stuff to get a qualification otherwise no one will hire you. It's not just about hammering in nails or screwing screws, it's also about knowing what to nail and where to screw. Yes, anyone can hammer in a nail but not everyone can build a wall frame or hang a door, even though that's basically just cutting and screwing/nailing wood.

In Ireland you do 10 months on site before you do 20 weeks college.. and you get paid to go to college... in England it's into college first.. which doesn't teach them

Im a big fan of hand tools but there's rarely situations where they're better than power tools in the professional carpentry setting.

Having a big box of power tools does not make you a competent tradesman.Learn you skills using hand tools then use power tools.This is why they turn out less than useful "carpenters" from technical colleges.And the apprenticeship is not long enough either.We did 4 years and still knew nothing .My dad did 7 years apprenticeship .

@@chrismann7935 Never said power tools made you a better tradesman. The reality is hand tools take more time and you can't expect an employer/client to pay you for that extra time. You can either learn those skills on your own time or try find a boss who's willing to pay you for it (good luck with that). And in reality, most people don't have such a keen eye for detail as us carpenters and will happily settle for sub-par workmanship if it means they don't have to pay as much.

@@chrismann7935 Apprenticeship quality depends a LOT on where you do it. Usually, you sacrifice pay for skill. I did my apprenticeship at a very small company on the minimum apprenticeship wage while I heard of other guys in the commercial setting who were making twice what I was. The difference was I was doing different tasks each week and learning many different carpentry skills, including the business side, where as they were pretty much doing the same thing every day and only learning one aspect or carpentry (like skirting or framing for example). While we both come out with the same qualification after 4 years, I have a much broader range of skills and experience.

@@mattwood1977 So th

Why not?

Interesting

Fructose is also reducing sugar....it has ability to get reduced too.

Weren't allowed to use circular saws in collage its a joke nowadays.

Thats ridiclous you need a circular saw for 60% of work ​@@YELLOWRIDGE

​@Baz09 Tell me about it. I use them all the time now. It was a huge safety issue, I guess. We could only use chop saws, and we had to share one between our entire year group. What a joke that was.

@@YELLOWRIDGE jaysus how did you's get any work done at all

​@Baz09 Honestly, we didn't. I learned everything I know on-site with my uncle. College was a joke. I only went to get the qualification, which was completely unnecessary, if I had to say. The only thing I think it helps with is teamwork. It gives you a chance to talk to other people who also think it's a joke. stupid af 😂😂

Not even any type of gloves either

first geezer had glasses

​​@@endurementgloves are more of a hazard tbh they are easily caught in things. I know a guy who's glove got caught in a tablesaw and he chopped digits of 3 fingers off also when are you ever gonna need gloves for cutting also whats the point in relying on gloves when your hands will naturally adapt.

@@Baz09yep loose clothing or gloves are a hazard all it takes is one little string and you can be sucked in. Had a buddy who was leaning over a table saw and he used to wear football jerseys and what not a lot and he got caught in it, put his hand down to try to stop it and cut 2 fingers off but almost gutted him

He's already sawn his nob off

You gotta do what you gotta do

Every carpenter has atleast one chisel that is really just a pry bar
