[@emme6055]

informative thank you

[@donbreyer203]

Informative but too much stuff at the start.

[@RobbieHilton97]

Intro was so long but so worth it

[@bigscreenbird8198]

4 minute intro?... yikes

[@WoodAndShop]

It's a preview of the whole video so people can see a summary of the process of the chair being built.

[@KingNast]

bigscreen bird Yeah, I had to skip ahead after about a minute, and the frantic music was making me nervous.

[@evandroandrade4909]

New intro hype \o/

[@mversantvoort]

Wood and Shop I didn't mind the intro actually, nice to see a craftsman at work. However, the music maybe wasn't the best choice: a little repetitive and in my opinion quite sharp sounding.

Log choosing starts at 4:20

Luis Mario You on drugs?

[@joelwerre]

Thanks.

[@joelwerre]

pro tip, a montage that is one third of your total video length, and starts at the beginning of the video does not work.

[@hdwoodshop]

Love the intro Joshua. I wish it was longer.

[@fotter9567]

Cool video thanks, very educational.
However, on the danger of being the party pooper here, I really cannot understand how you can release an educational video where a chain saw is used without safety gear. I find that honestly absolutely irresponsible and quite galling. Chainsaw accidents can easily be fatal, one slip and if you’re unlucky you cut through the main artery of your leg which gives you around 5-10 minutes to get to the ER in order to survive, and don’t tell me it doesn’t happen, it does.

[@brennankaye]

This guy! No eye protection, no chaps, and no real control over the saw with that thumb placement.

[@midei]

25% of the video is intro. Crazy.
