The Best Carpenter In The World!
Due to his vast knowledge he needs no license but has over 74 of them and uses them to start conversation with guests.
If he drove by your job site at 60mph he could tell if your foundation was out of square down to an 1/8 of an inch. He has no need for a rip fence on a table saw. He signs off on his own inspection card but still calls for inspections so he can answer questions that the inspector has about construction. The only hammer he owns is a 6lb sledge. He loves trim work the most. In Handymanservice's thread "How many trades are you proficient at" he could answer "ALL" and no one would question him. He has no need for a cats claw. He was the first to test the Saw Stop table saw. The saw malfunctioned but stopped when his finger touched the blade anyway. He could swing a hammer with both his right and left hand..... at the same time. His stick framing nailer leaves no plastic anywhere. He hangs 12' sheetrock by himself. He is.................. THE BEST CARPENTER IN THE WORLD! "I don't always read construction forums but when I do ....I prefer CT. Stay working my friends" __________________________________________________ _____________ Me and some other guys heard that Dos Eques commercial one too many times today and came up with this. Made the day go by faster. Please add something to make it even funnier!

Re: The Best Carpenter In The World!
I thought Jesus Christ was the best carpenter? He made a kick ass John Wilkes Booth mold on South Park.

Re: The Best Carpenter In The World!
My customers listen to everything I say and never question my technique.
Dogs and children wait patiently for me to recognize them. My wife never mentions an unfinished detail. I've never had a board twist, split or bow.

Re: The Best Carpenter In The World!
Hey Paul, funeral or wedding?
As for me, none of my customers ever question my rates and in fact pay me more when I am done.

We shouldn't hi-jack the poor OP's thread but maybe we go on a short joy ride.

I bet the Ad Agency could jump all over that concept, seriously. Go make some extra coin by contacting them. They will suck it up with their themed ads. Think of how many trades they could tie into and reach out to common blue collars as their targeted demographic. Ed

Re: The Best Carpenter In The World!
"He eat's scrap metal.....
Craps out nails.... And punches them into lumber with his bare hands..... He never needs a cat claw.... When he needs to remove a nail he shakes his fist at it, and it removes itself.... He doesn't use a laser level, his naked eye is more accurate... He precuts every single piece of lumber for each house he frames at home, in his 17'000' warehouse. He knows how long each piece will be, just by looking at the blueprint.... The building inspector has never called him on anything.. He is;  The worlds greatest framer.
