A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist.

My dad has always said, "strive for perfection; settle for excellence." You two would be good friends!

After 56 years I've found a construction company that truly cares about quality. I've never felt better about my work. Unlearning bad habits was easier than I thought with the right systems in place. Had my first job with no problems start to finish. No replacement for good systems and quality work. Only took me 56 years.

I'm an electrician for 20 years. I have this conversation with every new apprentice.

I had an employer in Hibbing, MN that taught and stressed perfection. If you missed a nail, pull it. Hank’s Woodworks taught me a lot. Always do your best.
-
I love these kinds of videos. I’m 41 with my own construction company and still love sitting under the learning tree
-
I had a boss tell me my work has my name on it. He then asked, what do you want people to think when they look at your work. That was literally all it took.

The best advertising you can have for your business, especially as a contractor is word of mouth, I'm retired now at 67, my old worn out body will not let me do the things I could 20- 30 years ago, but building things that will stand the test of time is your legacy, and to stand that test you must do quality work, I still remember my Dad as a young kid telling me " Damn it if your going to do it.. do it right the first time, or don't do it at all!" Thanks Dad!

I’m 26 and have started my residential remodeling company at the end of last year and my main goal is to be able to provide the best product and customer experience possible. I truly am so glad that I found this video, I needed to hear this. I just want to learn & then teach how to become a master of the craft.

Went into landscaping at 45. Worked for a company paying a bit better than minimum wage for three years. Stepped out on my own because i knew that my attention to detail was not valued in production, but with (ahem) art. High quality work is not only of much higher value, it is sought out. Within three years business became referral only.

If you’re constantly doing something that no one else has done before, mistakes and their fixes become part of your process

After many years in the construction business, I've always been impressed with young help that asks questions and frustrated with those that "know everything".

I’m so so so so blessed, right out of high school. I got a job from a home builder who only has two employees including me. he is an absolute craftsman, the man is an absolute lost art of skills in his trade. I couldn’t believe either how good this man paid me compared to other companies, it was insane, when I realized how much I was making out of high school. I also realized working around job sites, how bad the quality of craftsmanship is and sloppy crazy work. Thank god for inspections.

“It’s always the things we want that drive the things we do”
Powerful, powerful wisdom just in the first two minutes! Thank you for this video 🕊️➕❤️ -
My father is just like this. At first i didnt like how he used to be such a perfectionist. Its not like his boss cared enough to pay him extra for going the extra mile. But now i find myself doing similar work to him and always taking down what does not feel right. Thanks dad!

I'm a Software Engineer with a woodworking hobby, which likely led me to this video. Your insights here mirror the principles of building software and websites perfectly, including the concept of 'staging material'. After 10 years in the field, I still found valuable takeaways. Thanks for sharing!

I’m a 36 your old red seal carpenter in canada, I appreciate what this man says so much. We need more guys like this. I love what I do and it drives me nuts to see guys doing sub-standard work for people paying good money.
-
These types of videos are your forte. Thank you for mentoring us.

I was lucky enough to work in three different markets where I could hold foundation tolerances to 1/2"/100', rough wall framing to ultra-fine trim, and finish carpentry to, "It should look like it grew together." It was good, clean fun.

This is where you shine the brightest! Imparting the wisdom of your years emphasizing quality workmanship above all else!
Thank you and as you know...keep up the good work!😁
