Awesome! There a few channels, that upload all types of these old Military Training Films, I spend hours and hours watching them. I am a “History Buff” and love learning, there are some real treasures out there, and without the drama crap shows on the cable channel History, which is actually a joke LOL.

They don’t really build stuff like that in the military anymore. It’s all prefabbed or shipping containers now.
ya timez have changed in that aspect i didnt really watch it because it was military i watched it because i cam relate to it and its cool so see them doing what i do but in the 50s hand cutting and hand nailing and all that its cool to watchJasonc wrote:

So cool being able to watch these old videos on YouTube
Crazy, but a lot of the main concepts are still the same. But now we use power tool. Which reminds me, how is that Makita nailer working for you. I checked one out next to the Senco, and it was lighter with better ergonomic handle. Just has an appeal to it

Awesome video. Shows the roots of the trade were established along time ago. More so than the video which was showing standard practices set long before it was shot.
Oh wow this is cool. Thanks for the share
Very interesting, I really enjoyed watching that. Amazing how much of what I do fabricating steel follows a lot of the same principles when it comes to laying everything out. My X’s mark what side of the line to cut rather then where to place the piece though.
I framed house for about 10 years before I went on my own and we would connect our outer corner walls the same way, with an L post.torontotoolman wrote:

Ya man its such a smart way of doing it we do it with all walls partitions and outter walls its the most effextive way to tie to walls together and sometimes it gives a back up for the drywallDarynH wrote:
