      @@731Woodworks oh ok, I'll tell you a funny story, I went biking with some friends, and one of them had a shirt on that had a picture of some hands, and a verse below. I wondered what the verse was, so I figured I would look it up when I got home. When I looked it up, I thought I remembered it was Deuteronomy 25:11......boy was I surprised when I looked it up....hehehe. It turned out that it was supposed to be Deuteronomy 15:11

    My 11 year old son has recently found a love for woodworking. He has also recently discovered your channel. He watches several, but all I hear about is 731. He appreciates the clean content, and so do I. He's a God loving kid and won't watch anything he shouldn't. So, thanks for keeping it clean. He just started making a mallet tonight. He's been making serving trays to sale for "tool money." I'm not gonna lie, it makes me proud as my pawpaw is a retired cabinet maker. I'm a steel fabricator, so I combine steel and wood. Anyhow, just wanted to let you know you have a huge fan in this kid.

    I’m a 14 year old boy and for my 14th birthday my grandpa took me to get wood and I built my own work bench for my tools. Since then all I’ve done is find more and more of a loving for woodworking and your videos. I’ve used your videos for ideas I actually started with a $12 drill from harbor freight and I used my grandpas tools for that bench. Now I have a circular saw, miter saw, I just bought a table saw, I bought a drill press in November, I have numerous hammers, and I’ve got both DeWalt and Bauer for drills and all my cordless tools. I’ve used your videos for ideas and I’ve used those to help make money. The best part is I can watch your videos on my TV and don’t have to worry about any profanity. Thank you for all your hard work in making these videos❤

    Back in the day, here in south africa as well as in any of the other british colonies.
    There was a law that government building furniture had to be made from split wood, not cut. This made the furniture exceptionally strong and durable .
    I have recently got hold of a whole lot of dark wood cupboard doors that i am going to have to sit and think out the box for because i just could not bring it over my heart to burn or to chuck this wood.

    I make spice racks out of pallet wood in a chevron design. The wife loves hers.

    I like them all. Especially the Mallets. How about sending me some of that exotic scrap you have, next time you’re cleaning out the workshop. I can’t get them where I’m at. Love your videos.
