Welcome to Carpentry for Old Women
My name is Diane I live in a little town in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where we started
building a house 3 years ago I had designed the house I worked with the construction crew
doing the things that I could do was a rank beginner learning how to use my first power
saw.
I'm now working on the part of finishing hanging doors putting up trim building a deck I actually
actually am building a deck with the help of one other person almost nobody can do that
by themselves and I'm completing it by myself and I'm very proud of that.
I said before I'm in my 70th year and this is all new what I'm finding is that my body
actually is stronger than it was 4 years ago because I get up and down off the floor.
I'm better at getting up and down off the floor because I carry two by fours around
my arms are stronger if I had bare arms so I could show you how strong I am the whole
process is keeping me younger than I would be if I were retired looking around for something
to do if I didn't have this great big project I would be probably just eating my husband's
arm off so he's grateful for it.
I'm fortunate that I do have a strong body some of you listening to this don't so much
and you go I'm small and I have arthritis and and I couldn't possibly do that well yes
you can it just you may not carry two by fours around very much but they're all kinds of
things you can do that again having the right tools or really help you my knees are really
sensitive so I can't get down on my knees and do something and I sure can't squat like
an Umpire so I am either standing up or I'm sitting full on the floor.
Sometime I can demonstrate the spider like way that I have I'm getting up and down but
I'll spare you that for now I do moan and complain as I do it it is painful to do it
but I'm not damaging anything I'm actually making myself stronger.
I have courage yes you have more than you think you do I have a lot of determination
I hate being told that I can't do something I'm either not allowed to or that it's just
it's not appropriate for my gender I'm still mad about not being allowed to take shop in
high school so.
There's a little revenge in here somewhere.
I believe that there are lots of me's In the world I know there are some because
they walk by my house and they stop and talk to me doing this deck and they tell me what
they're doing and I'm stunned nobody asks us what we're doing.
We've been kind of dismissed as a market for tools.
I'm hoping through this video series and you being in contact with me to prove once and
for all that they only think we're not here because they never asked and I think we can
in the midst of having a good joyous time learning carpentry make a dent in that I want
to do some projects with you not this is not a how to video you need to watch people who
have been doing this for years and how to do it right I listened mainly I'd say to the
This Old House on YouTube I've been watching that show for 39 years yeah since it started
and so I watch a lot but anybody else that's got something there's this woman on YouTube
on how to video on how to hang doors.
That was at what I really used just just simple no-nonsense approach to it I want the first
project I want to do with you it's making sawhorses.
You may say why I'm your age and I've never cared about having a pair of saw horses before
it's because you need a place to work to do other things and what we'll show you is
something that can be stacked up Put in the closet you can use it for Christmas
wrapping I had saw horses that I used with a 4 by 8 sheet of plywood under it as a dining
table with linen tablecloth on it for about a year so you'll be surprised how much you
like these saw horses I will in the next video start with telling you the tool that you need
explaining why Each tool is very short list it's not expensive if you don't have anything
but in the short run I'm sure you can find some things to borrow to so you don't have
to spend money before you find out whether you really likes this so I want to have a
lot of fun and share that fun with you I make mistakes all the time but I haven't cut my
digits off yet so I think I'm off to a pretty good start.
Again welcome to carpentry for old women it would be great if you would hit subscribe
after watching this because then notices will come to you when I have the next video up
it also begins to say to the YouTube people yes we are out here yes we are and we will
watch this it's my understanding that subscribe and doesn't cost anything all you have to
do is hit that little button if you have YouTube and you haven't gotten the red you'll be seeing
a lot of ads which I just found two disconcerting so I spent a little bit of money that it takes
every month not to see any ads while I'm watching YouTube videos.
So also there will be a place for comments had at it have at it my favorite thing would
be to have more comments than I could answer.
Hope to see you next time bye bye.
