A first aid kit youngster. Trust me u will need it one day brother!!! Great job keep hammering!!

Nice to see a young carpenter taking pride and interest in the craft! ! Keep up the good work, be safe ! It's a great trade I have been in for 43 years. You have a bright future ahead!

you forgot another good tool to have at a framing job, is a good radio, it helps to pass the time away while you are working

Sledge hammer, crow bar, digging bar, and I love your home made puller! It's good to see young guys keeping up the trade. Wear the safety glasses all the time dude, they can't fix your eyes.

Cordless leaf blower is a good one to have too comes in handy quite a bit

Those drawers for the bed are awesome !!!!

Hey I'd love to see a little video about your truck bed drawer and slides. Looks like youve made some changes!

Im elso a carpenter 26y but Massachusetts, I have a nissan nv200 and fits everything we need to build a house. I started young too in the construction, i feel super happy seeing a young guy like you building big projects.

Your parents must be proud! Great video, solid tools, great advice and suggestions. I'm not a framer or in any trades but I do some carpentry/wood work stuff/minor house repair Reno stuff and I found this video motivating! Great to see you young dudes doing solid honest work while making it look cool and hip. Keep up the good work 💪🏾

Great video! Definitely do a tool bag set up.

Cette série était juste incroyable ! Félicitations !!! J'en reviens pas que tous les astres se sont alignés afin que ça fonctionne, mais oui ! It's a sign, things will get bigger for you men

Nice tour of the tools 🤘

No love for the framing/rafter square? It’s priceless

I've been waiting for someone to make a video like this just starting my own company I've been wanting to see what other guys carry to see if I'm missing anything I noticed you didn't have any corded saws that you keep on the truck I didn't realize they are that good on all the crews I've worked with we have always had both great video

Good video, i like the box in your truck. Very cool makes organizition easier.

Hey Coffman. This is a little late just saw the vid. But I highly recommend getting clamps, mainly quick clamps the things you can do with them is unreal. On my crew we run 3 sizes a 16", 2' and a 3'. We rock DeWalts they produce 600ft pounds. And a cool thing that some may not know is they are reversible so they push as well. And lastly is a oscillating multi tool, from cutting shims quickly to cutting it tight spaces it's very handy. Pro tip don't force the tool it cuts faster with minimal pressure.

I think your video is a video of thousands I've watched in this week and I think this is the first video that I actually want to watch all over again I can't tell you how much I want to shake your hand

Been a carpenter for 43 years. Started in the days of steam power and coal fired air compressors . Loved all the advances in tools through the years . One little tool I would recommend highly is .. Wait for it .. Visegrip locking C clamps with a swivel pads. Great for clicking down a straight edge or stud for ripping sheathing like a table saw . , Great for holding up a collar tie temporarily or cinching up rafters to ceiling joist and holding them before you blast a thousand nails and shred the lumber . It acts like another set of hands that don't argue or wiggle on you .

Thank you for sharing man! 💯💪

Love my chalk line, and I always have clamps on me. And pliers, I use them every day

Really enjoyed the video! Would enjoy seeing a tool belt specific vid. Noticed the TQ on the belt thats smart....

Great informative video. Glad to see a young man getting into the trade. We need many more like you. Glad you believe in safety gear. Thank you.

Great video, really appreciate it! Simple, humble, effective, clear….👌👌👌👌🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Excellent video!!!

awesome man! that a sweet bed setup! updated bag setup would be sweet! also what hard hat is that ive seen people with it but cant find it?

Just stumbled across your channel . Was raised in the trades too, nice to see you guys hustling and doin good work. Nice tools too btw!

Great info cheers

Great video. We use a rotational transit laser just before sheeting the first floor to make sure the floor is level. The foundation can be and usually is not level, so we shim where needed to help prevent problems down the line. Framing square is big. Pneumatic staplers, battery powered flashlight when/if needed for basement jobs, air chisel set or your own “death saw” (chop saw that is taken off the base) for poorly poured beam pockets, .22 calibre nail gun for fastening into concrete, and most importantly a radio to blast some good tunes…if it ain’t a good tune, it ain’t a good time!🤘

I work for a company in Colorado too! Love the work you are doing!!!

You should look into a air keg and an extra hose. They really help with not having enough air.

On your pocket laser I always carried a Bosh until I seen Spencer Lewis carrying Licia ( I slaughtered the spelling) it does it all and is more accurate than the Bosh. It converts to 12th’s to calculate plans ect.,. It’s a little more cash however for what you do I believe it will fill gaps you might hv? Bottom line though I do finish so what do I know about framing? Also great video I really enjoyed it , God Bless you and your wonderful family, and much success brother!

First aid kit.Good work!

More toolbelt videos! Love a freaking toolbelt.

easy rule of thumb for trim and rough carpentry: pneumatic nailers for production work, gas or battery nailers for touch-ups or quick mods after the fact

i have been doing other type of carpentry for 15 years but i want to get into timber framing, this was very useful, i think i will try and get work as an assistant first too

Im also a big fan of Metabo HPT tools, especially their cordless nailers and impacts

I would add a table saw and a sliding compound miter saw to the "get the job done well" list. Not necessary, but really nice to have when you have a lot of the same cuts to make.

Well done!

Nice to sharp young man in the trades. Wall jacks and consider windows and siding down accurate easier and less time

Hey mate Great video! Would you mind doing another video showing your new configuration of drawer and bed slide! Cheers.

Great video! Really appreciate you doing this!#Awesome

When I started framing in 1989, all we had was a makita saw ,framing sq,2 electric cords, and a 4' level in the trunk of 81 firebird. Lol, I don't remember a Sawzall. My first job was flying trusses on apartments. It's good to see a younger American doing the trade, I used to enjoy framing and made a lot of money. Take of your body. Hope you have a great career 👍

I’m an electrician and I have mad respect for you guys. 🤘🏼

Great video, I am no framer, but maybe a planer would be nice to have on your truck. I am gonna grab that bosch lasor looks like a winner. Shine on an be safe

Omg you ain’t lying about the palm nailer. When tired of hand driving 16s or when I hard to reach places

Great video brah! Any chance you can do a video on your new bed set up? Thank you!

It’s never good when the saws all comes out 😂 good set up my friend we frame custom homes in north Texas have setup almost identical 👍🏽

Framing in Colorado as well. I have to carry a .22 cal Hilti to connect 2x to steal beams. Maybe you could add that to you next video. Also a jack is brought with me to be able to lift and shim the beams flush. And another tool I carry is a battery powered 3/8" drill to tighten the anchor bolts down. A hammer drill with a drill bit to get either RedHeads or Titans installed. And I'd say last cold be an air tank to improve the capacity of air, especially when sheeting. But great video, all the tools you have get the job done perfectly!

good stuff dude. inspiring.

i would love a video about your high compression setup! like a review and the difference vs normal air guns setup

I just subscribed I've always been interested in laser measure You didn't mention what brand you're laser tape measure is, thanks for the awesome video Probably going to buy that laser level too

Toolbelt video please

Try the max high pressure system for coil nailers and compressor

Good job

Great video. How are you finding the brand new Milwaukee router? I'm excited for them to come to Australia

No love for the framing/rafter square? It’s priceless 16:59

The 2001 stick shift Sentra 😂 that hits deep.. I still drive my stick shift 97 Civic with pride

Miss framing man. Miss being young too ha. 20 year carpenter retired. Now I do the office part of the construction field. Miss being out there on a nice day. Don’t miss working in 100 degree heat or 2 feet of snow. Lol.

I’m an old framer and it’s nice to see a young man doing it,but don’t ever judge a carpenter by his vehicle when you drive a Toyota. Always remember to check your laser now and then too

Let's see that updated toolbelt video!

One thing I wouldn't be caught dead without: a good high quality tourniquet from a place like Refuge Medical. Don't buy the cheap Amazon ones. Over the course of a career you WILL statistically find a use for it. I keep one in the truck one in the belt. Great video, brother 💪🏼

framers and carpenters are different. framers do the rough part, and carpenters are doing the more precise things like kitchen cabinets and stuff. etc

what does it take to be a framer? first start off with 5k in tools and a 15k-30k truck got it

Hi, do you prefer the Tajima chalk line Rite Dura or the Rite II? Have you tried both? Thank you

Really cool to see framers go over their tool setup. And by the way, did anyone hear the BeReal notification when Jarod was talking about the first coil gun?

So, how do you have those caribeaner clips attached to your camper ceiling? I need some.

How do you estimate a whole house for framing and how much do you charge

DIY’er here, aspiring to get into the trades and carpentry in particular, question: considering all the wood dust one is exposed from cutting , wouldn’t a respirator mask be appropriate or is that frowned upon within the industry ?

Impressive. It's nice to see somebody who really knows what they're talking about. Keep up the good work.

Hey coffman! Can you let us know what type of router bid you are using? Maybe a link? Thanks again!

I’m curious what other people have experienced with that makita air compressor I just got it to see if I would like it over my other 5 gallon fortress similar to the dewalt 4.5 gallon but at 140 psi and the extra weight and it seems to be turning on quite a lot with just a small air leak in the hose and not being able to run 2 guns very well my other compressor is a 225 psi seems to hold better with more guns on the machine even with a small air leak seems to allways be a leak in some hose but have you ran into any issues or problems with that one more thing is running that makita on a 3500 watt generator it gave me problems with. That to allways needing to be reset because it draws a lot of power from the generator I’m trying out the Dewalt 4.5 compressor now looking for a better compressor over the fortress

If you're looking for new tools a multi tool could be one you should check out. It's not for the roughest projects for sure, but that could save the day on some more refined cuts and notches. Remodels for example where you need less vibration or more precise cuts.

Could you do a full video using the 5 point laser to plumb walls?

I didn’t get what the difference was between the two lasers. Do you need both? Can one of them do more than the other?

Maybe it’s a regional thing, but when I was framing a framer needed a saw, usually a Skill model 77 worm drive, 200’ of extension cord, nail bags and a 4’ level. Everything else was cared in the foreman’s truck and on the trailer. When I started a finish carpentry business I had to buy everything. I don’t know about where you are but here you’re going to make 60000 bucks a year framing and most people won’t do it for that price.

Smart to have a tourniquet on your tool bags.

Randomly ran across this video, how far do you guys travel? I'm a GC in Fort Collins always looking to team up with folks who do good work. If you ever come this far north hit me up and lets see if we'd be a good fit. Keep up the good work!

Hey, what brand is the framing nailer? I’m looking into getting one just not sure which. Thanks!

"and it sounds like a fart, so that's awesome" --Coffman Construction

I’m amazed that compressor keeps up with 5 guys running nail guns at one time. We ran a wheelbarrow compressor and it seemed like we were having to slow Dian every once in a while when we’re were all trying to haul ass at the same time.

Is there a reason you prefer to run out of the back of a Ute vs run out of a trailer? Most Chippy’s in Australia run out of an 8x5 tandem axle trailer. Keeps all the gear and can unhook for the weekend. Keep compressor and chargers set up inside trailer so 1 lead from metre box to trailer runs everything and hoses on reels ect.

Link the parts it in the description and sell them!

What type of drawer slides do you use, I just use paraffin wax to slide mine out. I couldnt find any drawer slides when I was building my truck bed out.

Maybe 1/2” drive impact and 5/8 dude buster socket? And a powder actuated gun?

Just wondering what brand of hose the bright green is? Thanks man, sweet truck set-up

Can you make a video on how you got started in the trades?

Next my fellow gen zillionair get you a trailer And the hauling is endless Shout out to Austin TX

What was that layout square in your box of extra tools?

Nail gun, skill saw, pencil, tape, ladder, compressor and a A board stretcher helps. 😅

How does the load out change between solo work and working for a company? I’m not a carpenter but I’m interested in the trade and curious?

The old days when all you needed was a hammer, handsaw, roofing square, plumb Bob. You’d get the equivalent of the same money without a truck full of tools!!

9:15 it sounds like a fart, which is awesome…🤣🤣🤣 boys!

What about remote jobsite work? Do you have a generator for powering your tools?

I have a rollair gas compresser

How’d you get started? Did you apply to company’s? I don’t see any opening for new framers or laborers.

Where do you keep the good attitude?

Did you go into the trades for framing?

Im a apprentice and still collecting tools. FInd it hard to afford stuff though

Hey dude, do you have a video on how you built the drawer and sled, i have patricks old truck drawers but your setup looks more ideal

How do you feel the Metabo compares to the Makita Hypoid/36v worm drive? Obviously we have the Skilsaw wormdrives, but those probably fall into the category of too heavy to carry around up high or on a ladder.
