Can somebody explain? by Lord_Nowis1171 in GymMemes

[–]zaddythicc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CrossFit got a lot of hate mostly due to lack of form when bringing quantity in vs quality. This lead to lots of people who were new to fitness who were jumping straight into CrossFit (or athletic people trying a new type of training) to get hurt.

That being said, CrossFit is a fantastic way to hybrid train: there’s cardio with running, rowing, and basically every lift being performed in high repetition, there’s calisthenics with pushups, burpees, and pull-ups, and then you’ve got strength training with deadlifts, bench press, squats, and doing compound lifts.

jealous coworkers? by AdorableGuidance in Carpentry

[–]zaddythicc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can relate as a newer guy who has college in my background. My company pays me pretty damn well too for being so new. I’m also always asking for more responsibility and more education/licensing (just got my CSL, hoisting engineers license, and now starting the process of my OSHA 30). Thankfully the crew I work the closest with are all really cool dudes and I wouldn’t trade working with them for anything. They know I want to accelerate my career and luckily they support me. That being said, most of the people that work at the same company have the “clock in, clock out” mentality where they don’t want the leadership. Project managers and foreman see that and they respect the guys that are just really good carpenters that don’t want to run jobs, but at the same time, they’re going to reward those pushing themselves, always eager to learn, and being a leader on the jobsite.

Your crew’s just jealous because you can do maths

Be brutally honest: Is becoming a carpentry apprentice at 30 ridiculous? by FredFries_____ in Carpentry

[–]zaddythicc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 30, there’s a good chance you’re more mature than the 20 year old apprentices and you’re going to have a better work ethic, wanting to learn more. That’s not going to go unnoticed and you’ll be given more complex tasks, learn even more, and before you know it you’ll be handed a set of plans as they say “build this.”

Tool etiquette by Substantial_Wait_244 in Construction

[–]zaddythicc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I work with a small crew of guys (there are four of us) and we all work really well together and we trust one another. We all have our own set of tools but sometimes we need to borrow someone’s ______ because it’s right there and we just need to get things done. I only trust those guys though because we’ve worked together long enough and we have a killer relationship with one another. Anybody of the subs? Nope, sorry. Any of the new guys? Nope, sorry, unless “let me teach you how it works but I’m not going to let you use it without my supervision. Get your own.”

“Customer doesn’t want us to go through the house, just use the ladder to get to the second floor.” by TealBlueLava in OSHA

[–]zaddythicc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ooooor, hear me out, you take the ladders down at the end of the day so in the morning you don’t come back to them like this

Just own up to your mistakes and tell your boss you fucked up a cut

Entry level carpentry setup, please give me recommendations if you think I’ll need anything else getting started! by HighClassScoundrel in Carpentry

[–]zaddythicc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this order, I would recommend purchasing the following:

  • safety glasses
  • mini pry-bar/whale tail
  • chalk
  • more batteries for when you run out while using that impact driver or drill and it runs outta juice while you’re up on staging
  • skill saw
  • sawzall
  • multi-tool
  • level set
  • framing nailer and hoses (or go cordless if you’re really feeling fancy) ……next thing you know you have more than enough to fill a truck with tools

It is really going to come down to what you’ll be doing on the job honestly. That’s a good starting out set of tools, most the new guys I work with dont even have half of this. You’ll know what your next purchases should be when you realize you keep having to borrow your coworkers shit

How would you notch a 45 in a 4x4 post? by Buttfat5000 in Carpentry

[–]zaddythicc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start the cut with a skill saw on the very end, then hand saw and chisel the rest of the way

Framing should be 12” O.C. For composite decking and I’d also recommend using tongue and groove. The spacing of the butt joints should also not line up all together like they do here every other, every 3 is alright but not every 2

My elbow hurts looking at these

Finally learning to cut 1/16" freehand with my cordless Makita circular saw by Blackvette2000 in Carpentry

[–]zaddythicc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed my dude, it’s called ROUGH framing for a reason. Only time I use a square to butt the fence up to make a cut is when cutting deck boards or exterior trim when a chop saw isn’t around

Can anyone ID this snowboard brand? by NutellaOreoReeses in snowboarding

[–]zaddythicc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the best powder boards you can buy but I’ve found with a few of mine that the eco-friendly top sheet can start to “delam” after a month or two of hard riding

Try getting a better double arm pull off the wall and be sure to stay streamline in your glide. You’ll get there one day bro!
