Guided Practice for Walking Jointer Technique

all right this should be funny you guys ryan's going to have me put in a control joint this is my first one ever yeah all right hopefully it stops your line yeah all right i'm going to cut off the first two squares because that's kind of the hardest part on your knees but i want you to take it from there so okay so if you're looking at the jointer this is because this is going to be your center you can't see this once you get it out there's certain ways you can't see this anymore it doesn't have like a cycle so that's going to be your site so you're going to line up the snap line the impression the concrete with this right here and when you go out you go out slow because if you mess up a little bit if you've only gone out six inches it's easy to fix if you just push the thing quickly two feet and you're off that's hard to fix so yeah just go a little bit at a time see how i do it here so you're looking right down that thing with your dominant eye and you're putting it right on that line okay and that will go out just a little bit tilt it up and then and then come back and let it sink in you know what i'm saying you want to cut it all the way let the legs let the weight of the jointer cut the joint for you okay see now i got off a little bit i'm just a pair to the right see that yes that happens i don't care who you are so then you bring it back to where you got off take your handle this way a little bit and straighten it back up get back on perfect that's what i'm saying you only go a little bit at a time that was easy to fix i had to fix two feet like that it's warm okay harder all right it's at a stage now where it's not easy the concrete setting up is pretty stiff okay i should have had to do it probably 10 minutes ago a little bit and now bring it back towards you and let it sink in i'll just work it back and forth just like that autumn get the concentration look at his face look at that shooting looks like he's so cool yeah no kidding looks like he kind of sent the eight ball for a million bucks sorry guys [Applause] you're doing really good i want to hold that steady right almost steady yeah so i'm going a little too small so back up by daryl and then you walk in get the back of his head and then as you come and get the jointer that's a great shot go back there okay now you come in right at his head and then as you get by his head you go to the jointer right on [Music]
