God has gifted me with many “hands on” skills and it is my calling and purpose to share those skills by teaching others. Whether it is to seek a career in carpentry, become a general contractor or improve one’s DIY skills and knowledge, the motivation behind THA is to help others successfully learn how to work with their hands.

Your endeavour to educate the beginners is highly appreciated.

Absolutely brilliant! I have great respect for the art of carpentry. I've always nurtured a 'secret' desire to learn some carpentry skills and have my very own little workshop, but being a lady sometimes means that people might not take you seriously if you try to step into this very male dominated world of construction. You are a GREAT teacher! Very inspiring! 👏👏👏👏

I learned more in 12 minutes than I have in most of my life

I'm a 68yr old retired RN. You won't find me sitting and knotting. I want to do woodworking! I can't find local woodworking classes. I just found this and I'm excited about it. Very informative. Thank you, so much!

I don't know if you found your calling in life, but if you were my HS shop teacher, I would have never missed a class. I find your videos informative, and both the pace and duration effective. Subscribed and marked for notifications. Thanks for the videos!

I’m 15 and I’m slowly getting into carpentry. Thanks for the tips and terminology!

[josephdavis]

As a carpenter apprentice I find this very useful! It's almost like learning another language with all of the terminology.
Thanks for this, brother!

Hi, wow, I can't say thank you enough for these training videos!! As a disabled, senior recently widowed woman, I am having to learn how to do all repairs and everything else by myself. I have no one to teach me either. So, these videos are going to help me repair things like my bathroom floor that is falling in, my roof that is seriously leaking in my dining room along with the damage it has caused to the ceiling. My 5 acres of property and my home need a lot of repairs and work that I can't afford, therefore I have to figure out how to do everything myself. My husband was trying before he was killed, but, as a Vietnam Veteran, agent orange had left him with a lot of problems and he couldn't do what he needed. So, again, many thanks!!

I'm speechless at the amount of clarity this video (and your others) have given me. I've been interested in woodworking before and have read up on it as well as watched various videos but it has been mostly confusing to me, making me apprehensive about attempting much of what I've learned beyond hammering in a piece of trim...until now. There was literally a sequence of, let's call them "mental domino clicks", where I suddenly understood certain concepts and most things just fell into place. I'm posting on this video but have watched so many others and am just in awe of just how much I didn't know that I didn't know. Thank you for the patience and simplicity in explaining and helping me understand. I think I may have a new interest in making this a hobby!!

Great style of comms, no unnecessary music or gimmicks, clear & concise with excellent on-topc information - I always learn and retain a lot from this presenter.

[erinkay]

Thank you. I’m a 34 year old woman with NO experience with any of this. I’ve been a pretty girly girl for most of my life. Lol. But I own a house and I’m becoming interested in building/fixing things myself. There’s no classes around here and I’d probably feel super out of place at one anyway. Lol. Hesitant to get started on anything without learning about terms, tools and how to use them safely, basic concepts, etc. this is the perfect start so thanks!

[FilmCreedProduction]

Thank you! I've been doing basement concrete forming for the past 3 years to learn how to build my own house. Moving onto carpentry in maybe a year or 2 and this has been a great introduction to comprehending this new and exciting field for me.

[Ehh.]

I love this. I didn't think I would like woodworking, but the quality of the video made it so easy to listen and understand!! thanks for putting out, a well explained, to the point video!! I think this just started my woodworking journey!!

[luhannbrink]
