Congratulations on your big move. You're so lucky that you have a wife that supports you dreams as much as she does. I retired early with the support of my wife six months ago and haven't looked back. I wish you, your wife and children all the best for the future and i think you will make a success of your endeavours. I look forward to watching ghe progress.
@@TheSwedishMaker I do indeed, although this time it was mutual, as my wife got a promotion at work so it was an easy decision for me to leave my job and look after our daughter and enable my wife to move forward with her career.
First and foremost, I would like to congratulate all of you on your decision to sell your house and embark on a farm adventure, pursuing your dream. It takes great courage to stray from the beaten path and follow your heart. I want to thank you for the inspiration you have provided me through this video. As I sipped my first cup of coffee for the day enjoying the Dutch sunshine, I became captivated by your remarks about chasing dreams and the risk and time it takes. It felt as if you were speaking the words I needed to hear right now. It reminded me that things happen for a reason and that we must embrace them. I have been contemplating starting my own woodworking business for quite some time, and your video delivered a clear message. It was as if you were telling me that it was time to take that leap and pursue my dreams. Yes, I know what you mean, so I’m going to plow my terrain and find something I’ve been looking for. Truly appreciative of your honesty and sincerity in sharing your experiences and insights. Wishing you and your family, tremendous success and, above all, joy in your new adventure. Life is full of surprises and challenges, but I am confident that you have the courage and determination to face them head-on. Enjoy every moment, from working with your hands, and cherish the valuable moments shared with your family. Once again, thank you for your inspiration and the impact you just might have on my life with this video. I look forward to your upcoming videos, and I am certain that they will be just as engaging and enlightening. Please continue your excellent work, and keep motivating others to pursue their dreams. Tack så mycket!
Congratulations! I love seeing these “I can finally quit my job to do UA-cam full time” videos. Live your dream. I can’t wait to see where you take us.
Pierre you are the bravest, honest, and most creative person I have ever known. You are so talented and truly inspiring and I have the honour of calling you a Friend. I wish you and your lovely family all the success you deserve. I fully believe you will achieve all of your dreams because of who you are as a person ❤
Dear Swedish Maker, I resonate so much with this video, you almost made me cry. Man, I am glad people like you exist. I feel less alone in the world and much more connected even though I'm in Australia. I'm like you in that I left teaching 9 years ago to pursue a life on a small farm. The freedom is incredible. My cars are less than perfect. Money has been hard to come by at times so I've returned to teaching part time to fill the financial void. My wife also teaches part-time. I dont regard this move as failure but rather a worthwhile compromise. I still get to pursue my woodworking business and other interests + lots of time with my 3 growing boys. All the very best Mate! Looking forward to your future content.
I started my business 23 years ago with a $300 loan from my mother. I was that broke. What I have realized over the years of ups and downs is to just stay busy...just keep working...keep moving...keep getting things done...even when they are not making you money right this moment. Best of luck to you. You seem very honest and humble...something much needed in any space.
Thanks for posting that. Thats what it is all about I think. Keeping our selves busy with the things that gives us the most joy and not the things that gives us the most money.
Well done! Some of us reach retirement with a head full of ideas for projects. Projects that will mostly never see realisation. It's great to see yours coming together. I do hope you and your family thrive in your new life. Lycka till indeed!
The IKEA table video is how I found your channel. People want cheap items. I do woodworking on the side and people are astounded when I tell them how much a project costs.
I don't know how many think at this way or if algoritms like this but..just showing how you make these wonderfull wood products on youtube is good enough for me ;) Then i could buy one of youre products. Greetings from another maker ;)
Wishing you all the good things and luck and best wishes for the adventures ahead of you. Rest well and thank you for your videos. Will be following your journey with great interest.
Fuck yeah dude! I'm glad you're getting the chance to do what you're doing. Having a good partner in life, as in crime, is invaluable. Best of luck! See you next video.
Wow, Pierre! Vad kul att hitta dig här och stort grattis till dig och din familj. Vilket stort och härligt steg att ta i livet. Som din föredetta elev vet jag med säkerhet att det driv och engagemang du har kommer gynna dig oavsett vad du tar dig an. Du inspirerar och har alltid gjort. Den kvalitén är vad som gjorde dig till en fantastisk lärare och människa för cirka 10 år sedan. Jag är säker på att det fortsatt är så. Ta hand om dig! Kram från Madde (SAB12)
I loved your views on life. Family will award you many more times then your employer, yes we need the financial support of work but not at the expense of giving our family the greatest journey and education of true values. Many holes will appear along the road but a hole is there to be filled leaving no trace as we become more aware of the beauty we have created. Enjoy the road as life is just a breath on the winds of time.
UA-cam showed one of your videos the other day, and since then i've just been watching your videos. The personality your videos have is amazing. I don't throw around comments, but you and this journey of yours deserves it! I wish you the best of luck my fellow northerner!
I did the same with my wife almost two years ago, both quit out jobs and I set up shop in our garage, we bought a cheap place on the outskirts of the city we live it (Lisbon) More time with the family is priceless, it's not always easy but nothing ever is. Congratulations on the taking the leap, it's terrifying but worth. Life is about to get a whole lot better for you guys 😊
Congratulations! I totally understand what you were-are going through. I find myself in this situation currently and hope to be where you at in life now. Best of luck and I look forward to continue watching your amazing content.
great for your frankness, great for taking risks (big fucking risks), you are great, I hope everything goes well for you, if not... you have a woman who supports you, you will get ahead, I am here to see you become even more big
Thank you for your content. Thank you for your craftsmanship. Thank you for being inspired and inspiring. Your method of presentation and personality is my preferred way of learning new skills in woodworking. Flash and all that jazz is is not you. You be You. I'll groove on that.
Considering that this video is the first one I've ever seen of your's i have the belief that both you and your wife are doing the right thing regarding your work lives. The only advice i have for you both is when it comes down to the work that you are going to be doing on your new farm property makesure that you have the time to film whatever you are doing, the reason why I say this is simply because people just love to watch others doing renovation works and how they do them!!! Alway's big viewing numbers seem to follow home renovations as other's love to see not only how you managed to do that particular renovation but iif it turned out good too !!!. Congrats to the bravery of you and your wife and as alway's guy's 💯% 👍 🇬🇧. P.s. I have just subscribed to your channel and will be looking forward to seeing what you both are doing in the future with your new farm property!!!
I have just subscribed because I love a good renovation series. Better than any of the nonsense on TV! good luck with it, I wish I had your courage to start again.
Snubblade in på din kanal, har inte hunnit se mer än denna video. Tänker att det är dumt att sluta drömma! Tack för en inspirerande video. Lycka till! 👊🏻
Congrats on selling the house and the big career change! I'm in between jobs and trying to break into a career field that I actually enjoy, and this was encouraging to watch.
I have been following your video since many years ago, and I'm very happy that your channel keeps growing, even to the point that you and your family came to a big decision. Keep up the good work and follow your heart.

Just do what you want, it will all come together. We will be here.
Found your channel 2 weeks ago. I would appreciate videos on a farm doing maker things much more than printing a Supermario or review lasers and cnc.
Thanks a lot! I agree

Keep it up mate, you're living the dream.

Love your videos. I hope you will document the restoration of the farm and the things you encounter during the restoration.
That's the plan! And thank you!

I see a cutie pie earnestly talking about the things that matter to them in life and striving to achieve them, I subscribe.
Congrats! We're here for you and I can't wait to see your future endavors.

Pop a bottle of champagne! Enjoy an evening with the family and don’t look back enjoy the journey! Congratulations on this next step!
