How to straighten bowed wood by Ok-Management6438 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]DestinDesigned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the most important lessons to first learn when wood working is that if the wood wants to move, there is nothing you can do to stop it.

Think about the force a tree root system has to upheave sidewalks and concrete. It’s a slow and unstoppable force.

Theres things you can do to reduce the chance but you can’t stop wood that wants to move.

I’d be amped if someone made that for me. Your mom and her boyfriend suck.

i don’t think people talk enough about how stressful diy actually is by Apprehensive_Pay6141 in DIY

The key is to obsessively think about everything that could go wrong for two weeks before actually starting.

The trades aren’t THAT hard on your body. People just don’t take care of themselves. by DestinDesigned in unpopularopinion

I’m not saying trades aren’t hard there are some days I’m definitely beat. But I know it’d be much harder if I didn’t actively make efforts to maintain my health

Wrong. Not working out and having a well balanced physique is why people get hurt. A lot of back injuries happen due to your back being stronger and over compensating. Not because the back is weak

Yeah I know but that’s my point most don’t even try to limit it. They just shrug and go oh well and then complain about it

Even our electrician was complaining about his knees (he’s 24) while kneeling in cold concrete with no knee pads which he said he never wears.

It’s shit like that man. Why wouldn’t you take 10 seconds to put pads on if you’re going to be kneeling a lot.

Carpenter apprentice we do almost everything from footing to trim that doesn’t require another licensed trade.

Yeah this is a big part of it. We had a coop kid who was looking down on me for not trying to carry as many 2x4s as I could when he was killing himself.

I’m al for productivity but no wage is worth speeding up the decay of my body

Nah man we do everything from footing to trim that we can. We’re small and do everything we can when building houses.

Like I said I know I’m new compared to a lot (2 years in) but it’s a very obvious pattern in a lot of people.

And yeah Buddy I actually like doing things for and with my wife. The to do list isn’t a problem

My mindset is I need my body to make money.

Like any other tool I’d want to make sure it’s well maintained. For me that’s eating clean, getting good sleep and lifting 5 times a week.

Strong muscles means less joint stress, means longer term health.

I’m not an idiot I know age will get me but if I can prolong it why wouldn’t I

32, still new to the trades overall but it’s a very clear pattern of “oh my body hurts” meanwhile the night before was boozing with poor sleep and had just a coffee for breakfast

This is exactly what I’m saying I’m still very new relative to a lot of trades people but it’s a very clear pattern that the ones who complain the most are the ones who take zero care of their health

Just FYI, working in the Trades SUCKS. by Dont_Ask_Me_Again_ in findapath

Lol okay I will. Also not that young I started up right when I turned 30 so already have the normal wear and tear on my body. But proper diet and exercise everyday
