  • This is one of those rare projects that took so much effort and was such a relief when it turned out properly. I've had this idea for about 2 years and I'm so happy everything worked out. this so far is my favorite project I've ever done on the channel. And that day of sledding at the end was totally worth the wait.

    This is the steamer I ended up using for the project. I highly recommend buying this one rather than going cheap on a cheap steamer. Buy once cry once.

    This made me very happy brother. You've come a long way from building longboards in the garage, yet is still seems to bring you the same joy.
    This platform is very suited to you: your editing and style has really grown into exactly how you used to talk about doing this. You nailed it. If you stick with it your channel will explode, and I wish you all the tenacity and success in the world.

      Wow it's been a long time hasn't it? Now that I think about it I've never done a build video of a longboard. I probably know more about that than any of this other stuff I've been building. That's a good idea. You always have such good ideas. Thanks

      And I second that! You are truly blessed to have a brother that is smart and a very good craftsman. I have enjoyed watching his UA-cam seasons and family grow up. Most importantly, how he includes Lucy in to his hobby. I did the same thing with my daughter, who is now 31 years old and just married. Katie grew up to be a beautiful, well-rounded, well-grounded and talented woman. She still remembers things that we did together, which really solidified our very strong father-daughter relationship. I wish you all the blessings in the world on your adventurous journey with your family.

    Nice job on the 'sled' or a toboggan? Doesn't matter to me. I grew up in Iowa and everyone called it a sled. Whether a toboggan or a saucer disc or a railed sled. I really enjoy your videos. Especially how you include the family in them. Keep up the good work, your vids are really improving. And I am actually learning things (wood working is not my strong suit!).

      Good question. I was wondering if people would understand what that was. I was rubbing a paraffin wax on the bottom of the sled and then melting it to fill all of the remaining voids and make the sled quicker.

      @@WyldeWoodworks I guessed at that, I'm glad I was right. My kids asked what you were doing. I said "it looks like he's waxing the sled, it will make it move faster on the snow, but also adds an extra layer of protection. That's paraffin something my grandma used to seal her water color paintings." I'm so glad I was right. Beautiful work, and wonderful memories for you and the girls.
