@MrBlackice420

Where do you get carpentry in college?

[ianl3194]

lol i should have thought of looking up videos on this for my shop exam i got an 81 but this would have been way better than looking in the book

[MrBlackice420]

@d1incharge hey let me know if you make a video explaining this stuff, or anything related, because im taking roofing in college right now as a part of a carpentry course and am just being introduced to it, so i want to learn it the right way. You seem to know your stuff, and as a 20 year old kid, i dont know much about anything really so any pointers tricks or tips youre willing to share would help out alot, and be much apreciated.
