Youtuber and expert carpenter Gord South AKA Woodbully, along with his production team Unmanned AV, has just launched the biggest carpentry competition the channel has seen.
In recent years, the WoodbullyTV Channel has gained immense popularity online with its viral carpentry content, including "Beat the Bully" build-offs and various other carpentry-related videos.
But this week marked a massive step in the channel's position as they launch a brand new Series title, "The Lumber Games," where young carpenters compete for a career-defining prize of a Truck full of brand new tools.
The episode includes four unique challenges designed to test the real-world skills used every day on the jobsite. Each round rewards speed, precision, craftsmanship, problem-solving, and efficiency. In every round, two contestants are eliminated until just two remain in a final sudden-death showdown.
Gord steps down from his usual spot as a contestant and instead takes on the role of Series host and mentor to the young carpenters. Laying out the rules and regulations while also offering up tips and encouragement throughout the video.
Joining him on the official panel of judges were Trades influencers Chuck @chucknastycarpentry, Jon Dawson @jon_dawson, and Owens Corning Lumber Strategic Marketing Director Casey Ingle. Their blend of personalities and expertise provides an entertaining journey for the viewer while also offering educational insights into the events.
What makes this episode special isn't the fancy prizes or the technicalities of building. What makes this truly interesting is the personas and stories of each individual carpenter.
Throughout the episode, we get to peek a little inside the lives of these eight young carpenters and understand why the prospect of winning this competition could significantly impact their careers and lives.
"Around 2 years ago I saved up every penny I could to buy the truck I wanted and around a year ago my wife got T-boned with that truck." - Said by Jordan (Contestant #5)
The production team, Unmanned Av, was able to highlight each individual's story in a way that any viewer, regardless of their knowledge of carpentry, could root for and connect with each character.
Production
The Unmanned Film team led by Kyle Christie and Felipe Gutierrez produced, filmed, and edited the episode over a span of several weeks.
Ensuring every moment was captured and presented in an entertaining and suspenseful way was a monumental task. We genuinely believe The Lumber Games is a unique concept that combines the high-intensity atmosphere of a Reality TV show or a modern Mr.Beast video with the unique aspects of carpentry.
