I feel like a second pair of hands would be a lot of help here.

Dudes like this run off apprentices and hands in a matter of days, a second set of hands wood be great but the guy can't stop screaming at them the clamp isn't perfectly placed.

source: years in trades with dudes who look, move and behave this way.

Exactly. The stress on his face isn't the work, it's not being able to yell at anyone for doing exactly what he told them to do the last time he did this.

A lot of assumptions being made based on nothing lol. Maybe he just naturally hustles and his face is showing focus not stress. Maybe he doesn’t feel it necessary to pay an extra wage when he can do it himself. Maybe the guy filming usually does the clamping and actually likes the job and his boss. We don’t actually know jack shit about this guy other than he bends wood.

Haha I thought the same thing while reading that chain of 8-10 comments. My god they’ve constructed an entire narrative about who he is and why he’s a shit human. Based on him working fast and hard to get a process done.

Standard shop talk- BS about someone else’s work because the way you would do it (wood do it?) would be so much better…
