    Got me subscribed! I come from Brazil and I’ve been an English teacher long enough and now made up my mind to leave and live either Canada or new Zealand! Where and which Carpentry apprenticeship schools would you guys suggest? Is that the same as in the US and Canada, I mean, into high school? Thanks!

    Dude, in every video I watch you eat a cheese pie.



  4. LT Music on June 18, 2023 at 1:22 pm

    Prime the walls first please makes life easy



  5. badzioch64 on June 18, 2023 at 1:23 pm

    I watch a lot of YouTube mostly because I’m laid up waiting for hip replacement. Something I enjoy about your channel is the great music. It actually adds and does not subtract from the vids. A lot of channel’s music becomes very annoying very quickly. You are an excellent host and your work mates as well. Look forward to future vids. Peace out! 🇨🇦🇨🇦

  8. matthew mahony on June 18, 2023 at 1:25 pm

    More humble than any carpenter in AUS and far far more skilled



  9. Leon Verhagen on June 18, 2023 at 1:27 pm

  25. BattyRae on June 18, 2023 at 1:49 pm

    Goddamn I need to get myself an apprenticeship lol. Also you have excellent taste in pies. Steak and cheese is the BEST!



  26. jcrums on June 18, 2023 at 1:49 pm

    I’m new to your channel after searching for deck building videos. Jumped on this one and see you walk past my dirty ol hedge. Great videos with enough info for me to figure things out…..also, that’s easily the best pie shop in town.



  27. ANDRANIK1915 on June 18, 2023 at 1:50 pm

    It is awesome! Your “My Shed Plan” is a complete guide shedbuilder.work that highlights how I can easily build a beautiful shed from scratch. the writer of the SHED PLANS has given detailed blueprints and step by step instructions that even a beginner can follow without any trouble.



  28. Kerry Warnock on June 18, 2023 at 1:51 pm

    All the tradies shit on about each other, but I say this as a man who makes aluminium joinery, everything just revolves around the builders at the core. Builders used to do every trade back in the strictly timber days and that’s slowly been pared back. They’re still the main event, even if they are brutes 😁



  29. FireBlaster🔥 on June 18, 2023 at 1:51 pm

    Basically multi trader, carpenter



  30. Ben Wallace on June 18, 2023 at 1:52 pm

    I know I can trust you cos you chose steak and cheese



  31. xenophonBC on June 18, 2023 at 1:55 pm

    I worked at the hanford plant as a draftsman, engineers, general foremen, foremen, laborers , iron workers..carpenters.



  32. mtrhodesy on June 18, 2023 at 1:55 pm

    Don’t have Steak and Cheese pie’s in the UK! Plenty of Steak and Ale pie but S&C! Just googling a recipe now, perhaps you and Jess could do a smoko time recipe for chippys in need of S&C in the UK?



  33. xenophonBC on June 18, 2023 at 1:59 pm

    i love your constructive friendships, the way to be



  34. TheMrCuddy on June 18, 2023 at 2:00 pm

    *An excellent My Shed Plan **shedbuilder.work** so far! It is a delight to communicate with you so practically and responsively. Your attention to detail re the wind rating on-site was beyond expectation, but highly appropriate to your exclusive Shed Plan*



  35. Un Perrier on June 18, 2023 at 2:00 pm

    Mens in kilt is a beauty to some type of men. Scott, you should accept your feminine side.



  36. MJview official on June 18, 2023 at 2:01 pm

  38. ILaughAlot on June 18, 2023 at 2:03 pm

    That bakery kinda looked like the one on K rd closer to Day st. The memories.



  39. Adam Lloyd on June 18, 2023 at 2:04 pm

    The movie was “The Nagigator”



  40. Dazz Han on June 18, 2023 at 2:06 pm

    I’m jealous…can’t go to a shop here in Canada and buy a pie… :(. Miss the good ‘ole Cottage pie in Australia.



  41. Kane McIntyre on June 18, 2023 at 2:07 pm

    Yeah the almighty steak and cheese



  42. Brett Alexander on June 18, 2023 at 2:09 pm

    I have been making & selling pies for 40 years … now changing the look of the store using many of your ideas.
    Love the Videos, comments ( I seem to enjoy all the humor ), music, & the casual way you do such good work.
    I guess the steak & cheese got me typing here 😎😎



  43. T Dzle on June 18, 2023 at 2:10 pm

    Any carpenter in Australia that drives a van CANNOT be trusted



  44. Josh Walker on June 18, 2023 at 2:11 pm

    Where do you buy your saws from??



  45. Cabe Jefferies on June 18, 2023 at 2:12 pm

    Interesting, I’m from Australia and now in Belgium and have built in France seems more Nd more that you need to be a jack of all trades as more go into the service economy, you cant really afford to specialise too much as you might of done in the days of the guilds



  46. Jason Yeoh on June 18, 2023 at 2:13 pm

    I think I recognized that bakery. looks like the one in Ellerslie



  47. Capricorn on June 18, 2023 at 2:13 pm

    Hoping to be able to go there after my internship here in Japan.



  48. deceptikhon on June 18, 2023 at 2:15 pm

    Steak and Cheese Maaaaaa MAN!



  49. Romelia Polly on June 18, 2023 at 2:15 pm

    I bought Woodprix once and now I have lifetime access to thousands of woodworking projects.



  50. Johnny Vasilevski on June 18, 2023 at 2:15 pm

    Good morning fellas,

    I’m an adult apprentice from Melbourne Australia, I watch your show and I’m inspired on the information, work ethics and tools you show.

    Going through my books from school, I’m happy see your work practices comply with aus/nz standards, and it’s interesting too see the quality work you show us.

    I appreciate the effort you made doing these mini shows, stay safe and happy days ahead!

    Regards,
    Johnny
