    Going square then flat and around another thing we didn't think of in the time it took for lunch.
    Ingeniousness and really cringe worthy
    Watching your hand so close to being ripped off, from those corners going by at the speed of light.
    That excaped even when we seen the infinity you took us through in the end, what a masterpiece.
    A worthy piece for an art gallery with the rest of your work on display for tours to be seen so much more than expected while showing your UA-cam special as creation explodes.
    You may hate sanding, but we love your work.

      While refreshing to see, as someone on the spectrum who is adverse to sudden loud noises and who watches these types of videos to relax when I'm stressed out..... I would have appreciated a clearer warning to take off my headphones or mute. 😕
      I was really quite startled. I was 100% not expecting such visible emotion. Quite disturbing to me when I'm not expecting that kind of content incoming.
      "Clamping it got tricky" does nothing to inform that an emotional, loud outburst is incoming.... In a genre of video that is typically very methodical and chill to watch. I might expect that kind of outburst on a video called "Maker loses it while clamping wood for epic custom wormhole table".... But I'm also never in 1000 years going to click on a video like that because I do not enjoy rage content.

    Поцелованный Богом мастер, с золотыми мозгами, с золотыми руками, живи долго, удивляй всех своими творениями. Браво!

    Your skills are in the top 1% of woodworkers. Incredible design and execution.
