    Hi Mr. Fisher, I wanted to share with you how important your channel has been to my development as a carpenter/woodworker. I started watching your channel about five years ago when I was a senior at vocational school, your cutting board video was my first exposure, my teacher showed it to my class at the time. Now I am a senior at Virginia Tech majoring in Building Construction Management, with a few years of construction experience under my belt, and I still watch all of your videos when they come out. I have mimicked and learned a lot of my own skills and now I find myself teaching and mentoring others doing similar projects to this.
    Also the fact that you are a Christian such as myself is a great addition, your outlook on woodworking and enjoying the craft is something that I was able to relate to! I still revisit your old videos for project ideas, and the one I use most often is the idea of making bandsaw weave patterns and waves for cutting boards. Thank you for making such consistently great content and I hope you have a good day.

    Look man, I can lose the remote all by myself!! Sitting in the same spot as when I last used it, meaning it should not be lost, since it’s within my reach. Yet I either have some remote gnomes around my house, or my remote has completed its ninja 🥷 training, so there is already plenty of deception going on without giving Mama a place to hide the remote from me as well!! 😂

      ​@@MCsCreations, I'd rather buy a new remote every day than let another one of those furry demons live in my house. We tried having 2 house cats. They shredded the back of my couch, and most of our mini blinds. Then they both snuck out the door and got knocked up. They were probably out partying with a bad crowd and smoking the Devil's lettuce. They were trouble makers. So, we ended up with 2 litters of kittens at the same time. Our 2 mama cats, who had been best buddies, suddenly hated each other and started fighting. There was constant hissing, and the occasional throwing of paws, until the kittens were gone. To top it all off, one of the little mini-demons they made climbed into one of the bass drums of my vintage '88 Pearl drum set and dropped a deuce. Luckily, my son turned out to be allergic to cats, so I got to re-home all of those felines from Hades. We are definitely dog people.

I mean, it's not like he's building a wooden sailing vessel from the early 1900's and keeping it authentic or something.

    About a year ago, I stopped using the driver for things like pocket holes. I prefer using the drill, and adjusting the clutch to about 60 or so to prevent stripping screws. I will adjust the clutch torque until I hit the correct setting.

    Drew, you are the bomb! This is a great project for beginners and the like. Your design and approach make it very attainable and that is extremely important when it comes to convincing someone that they too, can build something like this. And of course, your videos are always entertaining.
    I envy your friend Janelle. Working alongside you would be the most entertaining woodworking project anyone could imagine.

    It must be a good bookcase. Even the cat liked it.
