    Thanks for always having a clean show that can be shown to high school students. My classes are 2 and 1/2 hours everyday. My construction students enjoy watching your channel and gain visual support for the concrete training we do. We could use the saw to help in forms.

    Is my math correct? You're views are at 3.5 million per month. At a CPM of $10, that's $35,000 /mo or $420,000 /yr from UA-cam Adsense. You make doctor money with concrete. You...are...my...hero.

    This is one of my favorite UA-cam channels!
    I'd love the DeWalt reciprocating saw. As my first house remodel project, I'm going to reconfigure the garage to add some outlets for 120V, USB ports, and compressed air, so there's lots of wood and drywall that needs this saw!

    As a new homeowner, I want the Dewalt reciprocating saw to help renovate my house. Your videos motived me to do my own concrete, which I did but some parts didn't turn out so well . I got better each time! I didnt give up. This saw will help redo my early mistakes.

    I would love to have a DeWalt saws all, but if not it's all good. I was a tile guy in AZ. for many years and I love watching you and the crew work the mud. It's sort of therapeutic to me in some crazy way. Have a good Labor Day!!

  • @TonyWalabiscuit
    @TonyWalabiscuit 2 роки тому +1

    I love watching you, usually i watch without the volume as i play my guitar, but today i watched and you said leave a comment and win a tool! Sooo... I'd love to win the dewalt reciprocating saw... there's just not enough reciprocity in this world. If i win I'll probably give it to my dad but with the caveat that should my guitar ever become too full of herself that i may use a little reciprocity on its neck. Keep up the great channel and the phenomenal work ethic.
    People like you may think you're just doing your thing but, make no mistake, you are setting examples- like brush fires- in the hearts and minds of those who watch and learn by your example... a strong back applied with a humble heart IS God's will. Keep it up!

    I want the reciprocating saw or saw zaw as we call it here in the southeast. I'm a concrete man myself and I would be using that saw zaw for all kinds of different things. There's no telling what I may be cutting with that thing. Thanks for the opportunity to win it. Love the channel and watch every upload. Have a good one.

    Count me in. In the Dallas area we had flooding almost 2 weeks ago and am currently doing a demolition on all the damaged materials. The saw would come in handy as I just found out the house is rotting from the bottom up. Got a lot of work to do but excited to get this project going. Thank you for the opportunity to win.

    It’s going to be used in tearing down a spare room I built 15 years ago, and I’ve been told that there’s not enough concrete in the foundation I built . So it’s tear down time and rebuild before winter. Depending on scheduling inspection. Thanks very much. Your video is to the point instructive and like conversation . Very good!

    Hi David you are polite and soft-spoken. Always a very pleasant experience watching your tutorials/videos.
    Oh, did you mention something about a reciprocating saw…….I have been wanting to buy one for years, keep delaying it though, as I have more immediate needs.
    Still on my “ to buy list “ though……

    @jeffrodriguez5638 2 роки тому +1

    Good afternoon Dave. I could really use that Dewalt saw. Being that it’s battery powered I can use it to cut all items that stick out of my dumpsters on site. I have a dumpster rental company and they always leave 2x4’s sticking out. Thank you so much and keep producing videos, we enjoy them..

    great Job as always David Odell, I am a new homeowner with a 30x40 metal garage with 2x4's rotted in some locations due to rain. I would like the DeWalt reciprocating saw so I can start cutting into the old wood and replacing them with good wood and reseal the walls so no more water can get into the garage. I wish you were here in Texas I have tons of concrete work I wish done for that shop and expansions too.

    Hello David, I too have a sunken living room here in the high desert, Murphy built home. I often wonder what would be the best way to fill it and you just showed me that concrete is the best way to go. As far as the Dewalt saw goes, this would be a great tool to have in the RV for when I get to those campsites and the tree branches are in the way plus cutting firewood too. Cheers.

  • @xolomartinez6036

    @steveb5537 2 роки тому +1

    I enjoy this channel because it helps prevent some of my rookie mistakes. I am in high demand with family and friends because of my labor costs ($0.00 ha). I renovate design and build a lot, so a reciprocating saw will always come in handy. With that said, if I win, I'd like to donate it to the high school students (Doug Markham). I believe that (as corny or stupid as it sounds) children are the future, so let's help them to succeed.

    I would use it for my new business, I worked under a guy for a 7 years and I am branching out on my own. I currently have a corded Dewalt one that I've had for 5 years and it would be beneficial to obtain a cordless version. I do basically everything but I hope to specialize in a couple of carpentry types in the following years. I enjoy doing trim carpentry, tile, and demolition, and framing so far!
