    Your chanel truely is a blessing, Jason. Not only for your skill and patience but also for the lack of attention-seeking. No blasting music, no fancy intro, no begging for subscription. Just the pure beauty of creating masterpieces from scratch.
    A concept that seems to work for a lot of viewers. Almost at 30k views not even 24h after upload.
    Just as most of us grabbing a drink and finding some quiet place to watch your work, I hope you do the same when browsing through the hundrets of comments of appreciation and praise.
    Thanks for your inspiration Jason!

    Your wife is a very lucky lady. I wouldn't be surprised if she holds this dear than anything you have ever bought for her. Your knowledge, know how, and time in taking trash and making a treasured item, an heirloom perhaps, from it is so much better than buying something ready made. The only thing men have made for me is trouble.
    I sew and do arts and crafts for a hobby so I do know something about creating and making an item from scratch. I try to make good items but I could never make anything as beautiful as this. Totally beautiful.
