There are so many channels that use too many words. You use a lot of words... but not too many. You cut right to business. No fluff in your script. This is why I watch and enjoy your channel. I am a professional carpenter and so are you. Thank you.
I think cabins not only reflect relaxing & peacefulness, but the cozy heart warming feel. It's the warmth many feel even if its below 10° outside. It's so useful how you break these down to make it easy to understand the simplicity of the builds. 😊
I've been woodworking for several decades. I've been watching your videos for a while. I love what you do and how you present your subject matter. Great videos!
When you're doing the evergreen trees, draw a diagonal line from the top right corner to the bottom left corner so you can keep the design on half of the wood and get two designs out of one piece, giving you four half trees instead of just two.
Another awesome video Matt. I’m so happy for you that you’re starting a online woodworking school. I wish you the best on your endeavor and hope it brings you as much happiness as you bring us. Thanks for all the inspiration on making stuff.
I thought I was the only one who used my hands to measure things. Here's a few more., from wrist to elbow is the size of your foot. From elbow to the tip of your middle finger is about 1 1/2feet. If you extend your arm straight in front of your nose, from tip of your nose to the tip of your middle finger is a yard. The width of your palm is around 4 inches. Thank you for the fresh ideas and videos you put out. It really helps a lot.
I love that you use the body part ruler....my husband has spent years telling me it doesn't work that way.....ha, I'm going to spend all my time reminding him that you use it to.......I love it. Keep up the great ideas we love your videos
1-tree... I would cut the straight edge with a slight bevel to give it dimension when put together. 2- scrap wood houses... this design scaled up would make awesome kitchen canister set for sugar, flour, etc.
watching a person while they explain their steps (video) is the best teacher there is, you probably hit the best idea youve had so far with this teaching video series you talked about, as a really 50 plus years carpenter, I enjoy your vids very much keep up the good work
You are a breathe of fresh air in the world of woodworking! I have been watching your channel for quite some time and enjoy everything I have seen. You have given me the 'oomph' I have needed to get back into my shop. I have been on this earth for going on to 84 years and have been a woodworker for most of them thanks to my Dad! You have inspired me to make some of the projects you have shown. Keep up the great videos!
The surfer hand sign is a way to say hello to a fellow surfer. "Hey Dude". ..........am retired westcoast surfer 😆 Sitting here with a coffee and as always getting great ideas from you. Thanks much
Matt idle hands are trouble to say it simple. After watching your channel for just a little while I see the world through a different eye. Everything I look at is my next project.
Totally agree. We bought our dream Ward log home five years ago . Not a single piece of sheet rock... needed to buy a log mill to work on the cabin ... have been wood working since!
For those little decorative trees, you could even add just a slight bevel to the joined portion to angle each side back and add more dimension! The metal rectangle for that set of houses, I feel like I've seen something similar in the HVAC aisle of Home Depot. I bet there's all sorts of brackets and retainers and stuff that would be surprisingly cheap, and easy to bend, twist and paint as needed!
When i built my shop, I included a full bath. I used galvanized pipe to make the bath, hand towel, and toilet paper holders, then painted them a bronze color. I made a rustic looking cabinet for the sink and it all turned out looking pretty good
Been thinking of projects that are NOT fall & Christmas items for the rest of the year. Coat rack is one I’ve been considering. I made one for our laundry room a few years ago. One of my 1st builds. When I was making cedar planters, i ended up with a bag full of triangles from cutting the top frame. Got the supports! I’ll pickup a few cedar fence pickets & go to rippin’, cuttin’ & sandin’. I figure 4 per picket @ 18”. Long enough to cover 2 studs for secure wall mounting. Thanks for the inspiration! 🤙🏻👍🏻
Matthew, Blessings to you and your Journey! I have been watching you for a long time and I have learned so much. I appreciate you and all the content you have provided thus far, keep doing what your doin Bruh because its AWESOME! Leeeets Gooooo!!
Great video, Matt. Loved the tip about using your hand as a measuring tool. You can also use a dollar bill. The dimensions are 2.61 inches wide and 6.14 inches long.
I can not wait to take the courses, I definitely vibe with your teaching style and have been using your plans already so im excited to keep learning and increasing my wood skill. I already tell my family that your my wood professor so this is perfection.
I added trim to my bypass pantry doors to look like barn doors. There was not room for barn door hardware so I added trim and a larger offset on the rollers. It looks so much better!
All great ideas.🤠 I always try to keep the small pieces left over from making stuff out of wood, this video on a few of the items is a good example why. Another easy wood project I seen at Hobby Lobby, a painter's palette table. God bless everyone. ✝️🇺🇸
We staying at holiday properties in Cornwall and Devon in the UK they are filled with sea themed objects and photograph them. They incorporate driftwood and other wood, with fish, surfboards, and boats, big opportunities for coastal themed items too 👍
From the tip of my nose to my index finger with my arm stretched out is a yard. Completely on board with body measurement. A dollar bill is about 6 inches. Love the videos.
Another way to get that well worn old wood look is with a sand blaster. I've made several candelabras from some gears and black plumbing pipes. They have flicker style light bulbs that look like candle flames and the switch is a valve.
I have a leather bracelet that I wear that is actually a 15-inch tape measure. They come longer also. I have been in the local hardware store, and my husband needed to measure something. He said he wish he had a tape measure. I had mone around my weist. It was perfect.
It’s called a “Shaka” 🤙sign. It’s used in multiple fashions. “Hang loose”, “feeling stoke”, hello/good bye, yes, excitement, like a clap, many other uses. The story is it came from the Spanish. They use that as a sign for drinking. Point the thumb toward your mouth, as a pivot point and move your pinky up and down. They would signal to the Samoans, Hawaiians for water or to join them in a drink of beer or alcohol. I’ve used it to measure things, because I count how many it takes from one end to the other times 7.5 inches.
Re: a tape measure tattoo, Adam Savage (Mythbusters) has one on his arm and has released it in printable form you can use to duplicate it on your body.
7:11 not weird at all to know some referential measurements from body parts. My understanding is that craftsmen in European guilds that build cathedrals commonly used that method. It would make sense to use the easiest common measuring tools like fingers, hands, feet, and forearms when climbing up tall scaffoldings to tall vaulted ceiling or roofs and to reduce the number of tools that needed to be carried.
Since subscribing to your video feed a while back, I've found myself saying, "oh, I can make that" quite a lot. The catch is, I have a job and a family and therefore no TIME to do much else. Ugh. I need a housekeeper and a cook.
My index finger is 1cm. The tip of my thumb to the first knuckle is 1 inch. From my inner elbow to inner wrist is 12 inch. My hand span is 8 inch. Crazy how we remember shit like this! 🤣😂

Note to self - do NOT drink coffee while watching Matt's videos. "Fancy squirti'n toilet" just about killed me. 😂 I love your videos and your humor.
🤪 I'm fancy like that...
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking you honor us with all that fanciness😂

That part had me scrambling to find a ruler to check my hand.
You are very inspiring!! You are also a gifted teacher. Thank you for your passion to teach woodworking and spark creative thinking.
Mathew, I appreciate your encouragement and insight!
Another excellent smalls that sell vid. Love your break downs, you always get me excited to make wooden projects I never would have thought of.😊
Cool collection of items this week!
Good luck with your course. You have a great teaching style!
Thanks so much!

Hopped over from patreon for the algorithm!!
A vacation well spent! What a great episode. You have been a "smalls" inspiration.
Watched this this morning and decided to make some tree decorations from scrap wood. Turned out great! Thanks for the videos and ideas!
Thanks for your time. As a master carpenter myself , I enjoy the new ideas and input !!!!
Love it Mat. This series literally inspires not only me but my honey do list... 😂
lol good to hear!!
I’m on the list. Now, let’s make something. Thank you for your calm experience and teaching.
I love your page. You rock!
Thank you!

Thanks for sharing ❤
Awesome man. I bet that course will be great.
Thank you.
That was an awesome video my friend!! Thank you for sharing such great advice.
Awesome stuff as always

I appreciate that!
You should see all of these modern rustic cabins they have built around Brokenbow Lake in Oklahoma
Great video Matthew! I love the scrap wood village ideas!

Good video as always thanks for sharing Enjoyed it Keep building
Great video thank you. Love the rustic stuff.
If you used a scrollsaw to cut out the tree, you could glue the offcuts together as a negative of the tree, and sell them both.
Love this ep! You inspired a lot of ideas in my head! Can’t wait to get started! 👏👍🤘🌟
Matthew, you have company! I, too, use my palm or pull out a measuring tape. I always get strange looks, but who cares, I got the dimensions I needed!
Other great video Matthew, ❤lots of ideas for builds . Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this .😊
I’ve made a few projects of my own, but I’m probably most proud of my fishing rod holder
I added trim to my bypass pantry doors to look like barn doors. There was not room for barn door hardware so I added trim and a larger offset on the rollers. It looks so much better!
Matthew, I love the "I can build that shirt." Do you have one without a skull on it?😊
So many cool things, thanks!
Great job Matt
Get video Matt. Learn so much with your content. Simple projects that look great. I need to try this. Blessings Brother!
That is excellent sir!

lol yes!
Adam savage style. He uses his all the time.

I was just watching Komar Project's 2023 shop tour. He has very similar modern rustic theme as the fireplace in your video.
Oh yea?
I just carry a small 4' tape measure. Yes,I get funny looks when I pull it out and my Wife walks away..
😂😂😂

Adam Savage has the ruler tattooed on his arm - if you go that route, be sure to zero it from some known distance from the tip of your finger!
You my man are a good dude
thank you for showing me how to do thing right
I love cabin's ❤
The fancy squirtin' toilets are the BEST!
Never going back to wiping caveman style.
Too early I'm the am. Thought it said smells that sell. Lol more coffee please.
I bought paneling at Home Depot that looked just like that fireplace surround.
Thanks
Congrats on having your fingers.
And just like that, the vacation became a tax write off 😂
Saw those fir trees and things I thought was, “They watch your channel!”
Tôi rất ngưỡng mộ bạn cám ơn bạn đã chia sẻ ❤🎉❤🎉
Take the hinges apart and you can make window shutters
I leaned everything from watching videos.
I have worked construction i enjoy your video's, and my pinky to thumb is my goto for a lot when messaging things at 8 1/2 inches
Have you seen TSO’s Dewalt job site table saw fence upgrade, looks like a very good upgrade from the flimsy standard fence
I haven’t. I’ll have to check it out.
I bet your wife "loved" the "vacation." Lol

OMG, I need to tattoo a ruler on my arm, would save me so much time from looking for my tape measure all day.
😂 I’m right there with you!
@MatthewPeechWoodworking hi Mathew sir I just joined the waiting list for the course sir
It looks like they knew you were coming
lol
Since subscribing to your video feed a while back, I've found myself saying, "oh, I can make that" quite a lot.
The catch is, I have a job and a family and therefore no TIME to do much else. Ugh. I need a housekeeper and a cook.
You know what looks like half of a tree?
The other half😂
Mathew you need to check out Adam Savage's measuring tattoo. I jave thought about getging it myselc
My index finger is 1cm. The tip of my thumb to the first knuckle is 1 inch. From my inner elbow to inner wrist is 12 inch. My hand span is 8 inch. Crazy how we remember shit like this! 🤣😂
Baby wipes, my guy. Much better than toilet paper to get that toosh clean without putting a hose to your tucchas.
7:15 that's the letter Y :)
Wing nut!!!
Adam Savage has a ruler tattoo on his forearm. He was/is selling temporary ruler tattoos.
