I know I'm late to the party on this show. But there's alot of very unlikeable guys on this show. Especially Duane. Damn!!

I can't imagine trying to run a shop like that with all those ridiculous personalities. I get it was TV but not all that was acting. Most of those guys were awful. Work ethic, attitude, apptitude, the whole bit.

I've been watching those episodes again lately.....

Let's see..... Your shop foreman is a complete douchebag that belittles and treats everyone like ****.... You set ridiculous deadlines and get pissed when employees wont repeatedly cancel their personal lives and work ridiculous hours, nights, weekends and hollidays....

And you wonder why everyone has a bad attitude and quits?

I still like to watch it because I really love to watch craftsman build stuff.... The rest is garbage

I never had really watched the show back when it had originally aired (2005 - 2007 or whatever).

Nowadays I happen to see it on Velocity, as re-runs, while I am at the gym

OMG, outside of the work done by a few of the skilled guys, a lot of the work they were letting out of that place was just some horrific stuff.
