    Never sat a joinery exam, can't be hard though if joiners pass them.

    rewire, i hope your elevating yourself above joiners who you cant even see face to face is making you feel bigger and better.

    However no non subjective written exam is hard if you can remember the info or formulas.

    Physical tests are a differnt story, no matter how hard we try there are some things we all are just not cut out to do and others we can with little effort

    Don't get stroppy. No trade is difficult like I said earlier.

    You did knock kitchen fitters - Fact

    I will never tolerate racism. I disliked you before
    but now I hate you, I hate racists like you. I have
    no more time for you and I hope justice is done
    regarding you!

    Racist peace of **. You have just shown you lack
    of: intelligence, education, integrity.

    I hope you feel as stupid as you've made yourself out
    to be.

    And regards to the other person who condoned his
    racism remarks, you're just as bad as him.


    Really showed your true colours there. I just hope
    mods do their jobs and ban you.

    Racism should never be tolerated.

    I notice kitcheneer is keeping his head down now and letting sparks fight his corner for him. Another big mouthed, no-nothing tosspot.

    No nothing? I know enough not to have become a joiner, you are the lowest paid of the lot of us you muppet! Brickies labourers earn more than joiners. Don't be pleased with yourself, I'm guessing you didn't have many choices when you left school.

    Sorry about that, I've been moving house and internet access is 'difficult' at the moment

    I'm surprised that you are finding this thread so engrossing, when I started it I thought it would produce some interesting comments (and some of your comments which seemed to involve the word 'sh1te') but I didn't expect it to go on so long.

    I had to quote you because I wanted to draw attention to the irony of you attempting to call anyone a know-nothing, and not even being able to spell a simple word like 'know'. One of the good things about carpentry is that it enables people who are educationally challenged to make a living, albeit not such a good living as kitchen fitters enjoy

    Rewire, I was talking to Kitcheer not you, but however, your £45000 quoted is less than I earn and if it was so good how come you're not doing it now.
    When I left school I joined the army and became an aircraft technician, airframes and engines, and repaired Scout, Gazelle and Lynx helicopters.
    After leaving the army I worked as an engineer till I decided to have a total change and retrained as a scenic carpenter and built scenery for all the major theatres and opera houses as well as many TV shows and a little film work. As well as this I have a carpentry business specialising in refurb and repair of sash windows as well as general joinery.
    Today I made a bed which cost around £300 in materials but which I've sold for £1350, not bad for a days work.
    Sorry about the spelling mistake, I'd been out all day watching a couple of bands I'd booked playing at a festival and I'd had a few.
    Shame I'm such a poor wee fool. ;)

    That's nothing, I made and fitted a kitchen today, £250 in materials and I sold it for £15,000


    Shame I'm such a poor wee fool.

    I know it was meant ironically, but I think in the light of some of your previous remarks that I am going to take it literally. Anybody whose response to a thread is "sh1te" is basically a fool, or maybe a person who has had too much to drink (do you do that a lot?)

    So this morning, starting with nothing, you bought the raw materials for which you paid £250, constructed the kitchen, and fitted it and got paid £15000. If that's true I'll take my hat off to you.
    I think your original post about kitchen fitting being some kind of super trade is the sort of thing that only an egotistical idiot would come out with.

    question

    For arguements sake lets assume as you suggest that all fitters earn far more and are brighter than all chippys, why come on a forum to rant about it? What does shouting off that you earn more than a average joiner do for you?

    No, it isn’t. Why not? Because kitchen fitting, at
    it’s highest level, is more than a trade, higher
    than a trade.
    Tradesmen are people who, because
    of their low self-esteem, need a piece of paper or a
    certificate which tells the world, and more
    importantly, themselves, that they are qualified to
    do a certain sort of job.
    On the other hand, a kitchen fitter has to have the
    self confidence, based on his acquired skill, to
    qualify himself.

    Just in case anyone has forgotten, this is the egotistical drivel that started this thread.
