    Emperor Shoyan!
    Today you asked for subscribers. Today I subscribed. I’m addicted to your content: your craftsmanship, professionalism and patience are rarely found qualities in the 21st century.
    I discovered your UA-cam channel around last December while doing research on a variety of topics related to carpentry, hand tools and power tools. My objective is to build a range of simple, furniture with clean lines for home. The furniture must maximize space - nesting desks, tables and benches and discretely hide furniture when not in use during the day.
    Discovering your UA-cam channel is dangerously intoxicating. A beginner like me can easily acquire a false sense of confidence after watching you. You make things look so effortless; and that’s the danger. The most talented people, regardless of profession, make the difficult look easy.
    Think I’ve watched virtually all of your English channel content. Can’t wait for your next video, Emperor, Shoyan!
    All the best from beautiful Vancouver, Canada!

    For some reason this has been my favourite, that it is something for your own home and it's been put off doing, not just for a few weeks but years is the most relatable thing for any craft. Already being 40 and seeing the craft and profession of your trade. You are a true master and it's very easy to see and also follow but also notice the work and skill going into it. Woodworking, Painting, Plumbing, Art... working up the energy and motivation to do these things for yourself is always a world apart from doing them as a daily profession. :)
