Getting started in the carpenter's trade. (Union carpenter)

Getting started in the trades can be daunting. But if you watch this video. you are giving yourself a head start. I didn't have a mentor or family in the trades. So, all the knowledge I've gained has come from trial and error. My goal is to help you transition smoothly in the construction field. I discuss works clothes, the physical requirements, and the tools you will need when you begin your apprenticeship or helper status. The carpenter's union has changed my life.
