YouTube is NOT The Best Way To Learn Carpentry...SO I'M STARTING THIS INSTEAD!

Check Out Our FREE GUIDE: *25 Must-Have Carpentry Tools…Under Each!*
https://www.thehonestcarpenter.com/

Over the last couple years, I’ve had a growing feeling that teaching carpentry exclusively through YouTube videos is not the most effective way of doing my job…So, I’m starting something new!

As of summer 2023, I’ll begin offering online video courses through my own website, thehonestcarpenter.com!

The website still needs a serious overhaul, and I’m in the process now of developing my first online video courses. BUT I know that this will be the ultimate way to teach carpentry, construction techniques, trades knowledge, tool knowledge, and even elements of contracting and building code.

YouTube is an extraordinary platform, which contains an outrageously diverse range of topics…and it’s FREE FOR EVERYBODY. But the presence of the algorithm requires that content creators spend a lot of time thinking of ways to get videos to simply perform well.

Through my own online courses, I’ll be able to teach you carpentry in THE WAY I KNOW IT SHOULD BE TAUGHT! I can be far more thorough, and explore the appropriate topics without worrying about how the algorithm will handle them.

So, if you’ve ever REALLY wanted to learn about carpentry and construction, just hold tight. Soon you’ll have great video courses explaining everything from the bottom up, giving you total insight into how things should be done.

I’ll hope you’ll check out HONEST CARPENTER UNIVERSITY in JUNE 2023!

Handcrafted timber flooring – Made in Singapore

woodworking No Comments »

Uncle Ho has been in the timber industry for 60 years. When he was 16, he had an unfortunate woodwork accident which caused him to lose 2 fingers and a thumb.

He used to run his own business of wood profiling but decided it would be better to sell it and work for a 8-5 job as he enters his advanced years.

He has been hiding behind his machine for 60 years, people see his “art” in malls,hotels,homes but no one understands the hardwork behind the scenes and the risk involved in profiling and producing wood flooring.

During his free time he enjoys listening to Chinese classics.
