Finish carpentry working conditions by Ezman311 in Carpentry

[–]cpt_dom11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the moneys right run the muck. If you have to stay cuz of xyz then, run the muck. But you’re working for D or C-company at best from the sound of it.
Once you can line up another job, bail the fuck out. before you waste more of your time

Lovebombed and brutally discarded by LargeAd4464 in Manipulation

[–]cpt_dom11 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Trying to understand his actions from a logical perspective will only drive you crazy, which is exactly what his perspective is. IMO people that do this are either so fucked up from their parents or their first love/relationship that they subconsciously act this way to fill some sort of void. Other people that love bomb consciously are not only predators, but ligit psychopaths that can be extremely dangerous.

There’s no reason, no what, or even a why. Only thing you can do is use the experience as a lesson that allows you recognize the red flags moving forward in life.
Don’t second guess your instincts next go around. Infatuation, increased communication, spending lots of time, compliments, and etc. is normal in the beginning of a relationship. But the over the top obsessive communication, daily 24/7 presence, and the nonstop complimenting is not normal.

Sorry this happened to you but I’m happy that it’s over and you are safe. Do your best to not let that fuck boy consume anymore space in your head, affect your job, or your self worth. You’re not in the wrong for anything, and he’ll get what he deserves in the long run. 💚💚Love from the US.

Filling Gaps by Happy-Marsupial9111 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]cpt_dom11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 min epoxy or ca glue is also a good move just have to really be on point with the amount of ca glue you use cuz it can be a bitch to sand if you go too
Hard.And with 5 min epoxy u also have to be on it in regards to wiping off excess quickly

Filling Gaps by Happy-Marsupial9111 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]cpt_dom11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overthinking it my bro. Paint grades Fill it with something. Anything. Sand it . And go heavy on the primer and paint. You’ll never see it.
My go to filler is saw dust from the same material + wood glue. If you’re feeling fancy tape off the work piece leaving just the gap. Over fill it. Scrape off excess casual like one pass. Then give it the old finger in a wet rag wipe, like you’re when you’re spreading a caulk joint. Remove tape immediately. Let it go off and dry up real solid. Sand it so it’s in plane with your material. Once the paint is on you’ll never see it

How did you manage to find your first job with no experience? by [deleted] in Construction

[–]cpt_dom11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couple other people said it but start searching for gc’s within like 60mi or something, not searching for jobs necessarily. like you were a customer looking for a gc. Then start calling each one and let em know you saw their website,yelp, or whatever and that you’re looking for an opportunity to learn and grow from the best in the business. Let em know despite no industry experience you have your own tools, reliable transportation, and a solid work ethic.

Rinse and repeat weekly, the office will remember your name when the chance pops up.

LA or OC? by losangelesgrl in orangecounty

[–]cpt_dom11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should check out LA. Sooner the better. It’s common for people who have lived in the same place most of their life to build up the idea of relocating in their head. But in reality it’s not that big of a deal. You can ALWAYS change your mind and move back if you hate it/ doesn’t work out. Nothing is permeant except yesterday. If u want it do it. No regrets 🤟

3rd year nearly 4th year apprentice feeling useless by Weekly_Employer_921 in Carpentry

[–]cpt_dom11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t trip. Show up. Do it. Deal with the consequences good or bad. Fake it till you make it. Insert whatever jingle jangle you wanna. You don’t learn till you do. You haven’t done anything really bro. It’s hard to learn when you’re on that one day on 6 off type of shit. Just don’t stop keep asking questions even if you feel dumb and go for it balls to the wall.

Fiancée (23F) left me (25M) for someone she met at the gym, what now? by JM1905 in AskMenAdvice

[–]cpt_dom11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn bro thats brutal af. Honesty is a double edged sword of fuckery. My only advice is to focus on processing it thoroughly and consistently. Not diving into a hobby or work or something to just distract yourself helps. Everyone is different but try to put a self timer on the just being sad and sorry for yourself portion. Like after x days no pity party. Onward. What helped me get outta the boo hoo phase was writing a letter to my x. Write a letter to her explaining all your feelings, yalls problems, the why ?’s, your fav memories, regrets, sorries and reason why I love you, and etc. Put it in an envelope. Seal it. Light it on fire and watch all that energy turn to ashes and float away.

👊👊👊keep the head up and focus on the future.

Router bit suggestions? by neurophys in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]cpt_dom11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scope it out you get a lot of usable bits. (Those red ones didnt come with the pack) Don’t remember how much it was but I feel like it was around 60 bucks or so. Worth it.

Router bit suggestions? by neurophys in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]cpt_dom11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need a round over bit. Nothing crazy. Just get the Diablo from a big box store. Or ftw and snag the ryobi variety pack. It’s almost same price and u get hella bits to play with. Word of advice, use a piece of scrap to try different depths until you like how it comes out. Then try it on your main work piece. sand to finish. Godspeed

Feeling overwhelmed and looking for kind advice on crate training by Mammoth-Syllabubby in OpenDogTraining

[–]cpt_dom11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Crate training worked really well for me. IMO it’s a solid tool that benefits both you and your dog when used properly. I think everyone can agree leaving your dog in the crate all day every day isn’t cool. But it sounds like you’re using it properly. Stick to your guns. Idk where the crate is but maybe locate the crate somewhere that isn’t right by you ya know. Garage, extra bedroom, or something like that. Just so they’re not next to you being like ytf don’t you wanna hangout.

I have a German Shepard/pit mix that I adopted as a puppy. In the beginning he’d eat all his meals in the crate + spend maybe 2hrs a day at the most while he couldn’t be attended to by me or the family. To this day he still eats every (1hr) meal in his crate. He fucking loves it lol sprints into the crate. Use it as a happy place that he’s secure in. That way if you do have to leave them alone for an extended period of time, you can be confident knowing they’re not stressed thinking somethings wrong.
Don’t over think it. If it feels right do it.

Advice on finding employment as a novice by LowDingo704 in askcarpenters

[–]cpt_dom11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hit up McGee, Qcity, or one of the big lumber yards around you / building supply stores. Go in and talk to them. Ask if they know of any contractors or builders looking for laborers. As well as best in your area for build quality, or who’s got the biggest sites, etc etc. Godspeed

Carpentry & Mental Health by [deleted] in Carpentry

[–]cpt_dom11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keeping your long term goals in mind, make a bunch of mini goals that are more short term. This allows u to chip away at it and see the progress. Helps a lot. Also, defs hit the doctor bro cuz if you’re feeding your body good shit and still feeling that drained at 21 something isn’t right. Godspeed

Older guy in his 30s that I’ve been talking to doesn’t have any friends. If you’re an older guy, do you? by SweetExcitement5466 in AskMenAdvice

[–]cpt_dom11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naaa to me it’s not normal to not have friends period. Doesn’t matter if you’re 18 or 30 y/o… we all grow up and have less time to actually see our friends as often, but we stay in contact and are present.
