    Hello, I'm a big fan of you living in Korea. I've seen you since the video of changing tires, and now I'm commenting. Next week, I'll join the army. I'm a student living alone, and I got comfort and gratitude after watching your video. I'm going to write a long one to comment that I'm so grateful before I go to the military. You're really like a light to someone who lives alone. Thank you so much for posting a video that helps my life so far. I'll come back next year. Bye, dad!

    Just learned about your channel today, and as someone who's Dad has always been just shy of never being around or caring (even as a child and teenager) I want to say thank you for being here, being such a good person, and for doing this. The world needs more people like you desperately.

    Alright ima level for a bit very quickly. Seeing a channel like this makes me very happy. I’m 20, I’ll be 21 in August, growing up for me dad wasn’t always around as he was locked up, but I’d argue that even the times he was around, well let’s just say my life woulda been a whole lot better with him not there period.
    I’d have to ask around for help with certain things that a dad would typically teach you and I had an older brother and cousin that tried teaching me. It was just very humiliating to me having to ask around for help when it felt like my dad should’ve been there and the internet when I was a kid was still developing and nowhere near what it is today.
    It makes me happy to see a channel dedicated to this so that kids have a resource to go to if dad isn’t around. I could sit here and say that I wish this was around when I was a kid, but instead I’m happy that this is here for future generations, I know asking for help shouldn’t be an embarrassing act, especially as a kid yet sometimes that affects us in different ways.
    Thank you for doing what you do for kids that don’t have father figures to look up to or to show them around. I hope you receive nothing but blessings man ✌🏽💙

    I just saw a post about your channel on FB. I think it’s amazing that you turned your pain from being abandoned by your dad as a young teen into a true purpose to help teach children everything a dad should’ve taught them. My mother got rid of me when I was a young teen after my father passed away. I had to learn how to do my hair and makeup and even how to be a good mom from others throughout my life. I would’ve loved to have had a YT channel like this to learn things from. You are a godsend to children without dads and I’m an instant subscriber ❤❤❤

I also lost my father a long time ago and I always enjoy to learn something from some older guys. These were some of the closest moments to my father. When he taught something, he did it with so much patiance.

    You can use other wrenches, such as pipe wrenches, at the short end of the hex wrench to get more torque on the tall side. I hope people understand what i try to say.

    For beginners, you should consider avoiding using power tools so you don't risk damaging something expensive. If you're familiar with the power tool and are confident using it, go for it. But if you're assembling something for the first time, it's safer to just do it by hand, the old fashioned way.
