    Some makers are just fun to watch and can be entertaining, but you are actually inspiring me to get into the shop and start making. The detail in this project blew me away. I can be fearful of scrapping a project I spent five hours working on, but this is an entirely different level of commitment and skill. 🔥🔥🔥

    Not just your standard shop technician. But still very technical. And big weight on stuff people could possibly do themselves. Mostly.
    It needs another gear to the huge geartrain 90°, on the other wall. Maybe a belt? at least a 90° gearbox.

Q&A idea: I don’t know how many woodworkers, like me, are getting inspired to take on metal working from your videos. Can you talk about how one might get started. A few ideas for starter projects, first tools, some basic techniques etc. I’m really happy to support you through Patreon. You are one of the hardest working makers out there. Cheers

    Neil, this turned out unsurprisingly beautiful. I tried to cull the Q&A questions, but as-of my comment, you've got 382 comments... I've got a ship wheel question and then a Q&A one:
    Ship wheel: How did you completely guarantee that your circular groove routing was aligned to the true center, given you'd gone with that square plug?
    Q&A: Neil, you seem to immediately master every new technique you take up, so I'm wondering what in your background or past (job, hobby, etc.) prepared you so well for the huge array of things you do?
    Also - I made the box with the triangular, rotating drawers for my wife... challenging, but she loves it and uses it as a crochet supply keeper! Total win.
