Cheese: I suspect that you may be a conservative, and this was your punishment....
Cheese, I enjoy your tone and your projects. I don't do any woodwork but I love watching and learning. You never know what tip or trick might come in handy. Thanks for sharing those. Keep up the good work. God bless!
New sub. 🤗

Cheese - I bet it’s because he’s from Ohio. Those California meta employees hate us worthless nuts. OH-
@@jasrasr They do hate us, but the tide is turning (slowly).
Cheese. Keep up the good job.

I realize this video is a year old, but when I happened upon it I was impressed with your honesty. I was also impressed with your positive attitude and encouragement. I’m a 70 year old gal who is very recently widowed. I have always loved woodworking and have dusted off some old tools to escape my heartbreak even for a bit and occupy my mind by creating with wood. I’m shocked at the crazy cost of wood (my income was cut in half at the loss of my husband and I am retired) so starting small with kids stools. Woodworking lifts my spirits. And this, I’m sure, you understand! Short story long, I subscribed out of support to you. Good people deserve good things. Good on you!
sorry for your loss you sound like a lovely person and i say good on you for giving wood working a crack me i am not into wood but mettle and have the toys and use them a lot for myself plus make the odd thing for the market but sadly not much as i would like now as i have lost my left leg due to an infection no not diabetic but am slowly getting back into it as not easy to stand and measure things but bit better now thanks to a false leg keep up your woodwork and Cheers for your future
Cheese... When you asked your viewers to reach out to other UA-cam creators, I got a little teary eyed. That was very heartfelt and thoughtful. We need more of that in this world! Thank you for the inspiration!
Cheese! WAY TO GO TODD!! It has been an exciting 45 minutes on my end. Discovering that you even exist and make great wood working videos and then that you were almost obliterated by a huge faceless techno giant, learning about walrus butter and then that Todd exists and sort of fixed your problem. This has been better than any big budget movie that I have seen in a while. All while drinking my morning coffee, eating a bagel and getting ready for work.
ABSOLUTELY!!! We need more kindness everywhere. Treat people like you want to be treated! Take care!
Cheese - inspiring. I'm a beginner for the last couple of years slowly growing my shop and really appreciate your humor and your humanity. Wish you all the best
Cheese, Todd, truly has a great heart and I could support, as a RN, I commend everyone who goes out of their way to help others, ( like YOU)it will always come back to you. Thank you!
CHEESE -
I always appreciate not only your woodworking videos but how transparent you are about your business. It's a great value to the community. Thank God for Todd!
Probing once again you are the big " cheese" when it comes to having true integrety! Glad to hear you are back up and running and have the technical issues ironed out. Praise be to Todd, we need more exemplary employees like him in the social media industry.
Cheese-y that a software company as big as IG, FB, YT, lack the employees to handle the customer service volume. As a software developer, I understand the unfortunate consequences of bugs. But there should always be human Intervention to support victims of these bugs. Glad you're back online.
I appreciate you being such a long time viewer!
Why should they be concerned with it? Their business is not supporting creators or even about making a space for people to showcase themselves to the world. It only about add revenue. And anything that reduces add revenue is irrelevant. Your tiny spec of a channel is irrelevant to them. And to house and support a customer support staff would significantly decrease profits from add revenue. The guy that helped fix this creators problem was an IT guy that manages servers he is not customer support.
Understand the monster your dancing with.
Cheese! - I just bought a used Craftsman table saw and am working on getting it cleaned up and usable. I'm really enjoying your videos and thank you for your teaching, encouragement and inspiration!
I wonder how many people they would have to employ to support that.
I'm guessing they really do not care about customer service. That concept really doesn't exist anymore. At least it doesn't exist as I've known it to be for most of my life. :(
When you talked about getting a lawyer, and said you worried that the content was just gone, I winced. One of the lessons I hope you learned from this is to make sure that you have all of your content backed up locally or on another service. I am relieved and grateful that you managed to get it back.
I don't think it was the content that he was concerned about. He surely has all the raw footage, and the rendered final, on his computer and likely a backup drive. He mentioned that the data on his account being gone would make it worthless. I believe the data he refers to is his followers and the views/engagement on his content.
UA-cam constantly sends me offers for their premium subscriptions to be able to watch UA-cam created content. I have no desire to watch professionally created content. That's why I no longer watch the content created on TV or cable. I find the content created by ordinary folks far more interesting.
CHEESE, it's always nice to see the little guy get back on his feet and tell sponsors to do one when they let you down, I've been working with wood for about 35 years and when covid hit the 2 guys I had working with me, I gave them my contacts and let them take the contracts I had to help support their families, I change my direction a little and became a courier and a weekend carpenter ( DIYer ) which helps with my family life.... Your Videos make me remember why I LOVE woodworking, just like my DAD did... Many Thanks and look forward to more entertainment and Mistakes.
Cheese wiz you was here.
Been following your oddysey and am really impressed by your devotion to being ethical
and your perseverance .
Also am in awe at the volume and creativity of your designs. Looks to me like nothing can stop you. Really glad you are still going forward and not letting idiocy of others hold you back.
" illegitimus non carborundom"
Thank you for all your long work , and not giving up. It shows a fine example for the community .
CHEESE. Very happy to see that you are back and had that nightmare resolved. I appreciate your honestly and clarity through the process.
Thank you for the support and kind words!
Cheese - Thanks for your video. I appreciate your attitude and your response to the situation you were put in. I have been a social media “wallflower “, watching videos but not hitting the like or subscribe buttons. About a month ago I started letting the UA-cam video providers know how much I enjoyed their videos. I did not realize how much it helped. Your videos are very informative. Thank you again for all your work (seen and unseen).
Cheese, I was so surprised by what you had to go through and it gave me a lot of insight to social media. Thank you for sharing your experience. You have inspired me to continue moving forward with my new found passion in woodworking.
You should absolutely keeping pushing and moving forward David 😀
Cheese...Congratulations of getting your page reinstated and I applaud your positivity and integrity towards your former sponsors. I wish you we for the future of your business and brand.
I appreciate your support mick!
Cheese! Just wanted to show support and say I'm glad it worked out finally! And good for you for taking the hard road and saying farewell to the companies that are only in it for themselves. I'm also getting going from no experience or training and having small spaces, so I can relate to your videos. Don't think I'll be going the social media route, but glad you have!
That is absolutely crazy! Congrats. on getting your account up and running again. Some kind people out there.
Cheese! I am happy and relieved for you! Great news to start the year. With a number of videos in the can getting ready for posting, it sounds like you're getting 2022 finished off on the right foot and 2023 off to a good start. Keep up the great work and we'll be here along for the ride! Here's to new sponsors!
Good job telling the “fair weather business partners” to beat it!! Never put all your eggs in one basket. I look forward to your future projects, keep steaming forward.
I really appreciate your support! It means more than you know
cheese - I am also glad to hear he told them to take a hike and as much as I am curious to know who they are, I agree with his decision to not disclose that. It's a detail I am ok with always being in the dark on.
Cheetah - I am so happy that you were able to get your accounts straightened out. You do a great job getting your enjoyment out to the rest of us, Thanks for all your work
Thanks mark! I really appreciate the kind words and support
Good job my friend. 42 years in business has taught me that tenacity is required for success and one unspoken trait to success is blind ambition, blind ambition helps up break down barriers that you wouldn't otherwise attempt. I was accidentally launched into the plastics business about 40 years ago knowing nothing about plastics. Knowing today what I know, I would never have attempted the venture that supported over 500 families for many years. Good Luck young man.
Thank you for the support, hector!
Funny thing is they could solve this with little investment. Since they have a lot of accounts that are "beyond reproach", such as major OLs and "influencers", with lots of followers, they could outsource such cases to a committee of these dudes so they'd review the channel and vote on it. That would have positive publicity for both the company and the OLs and put a human face on the company.
That is a super encouraging story!
Cheese man I just seen this video,glad you got your account fixed,big shout out to Todd, I’m a retired woodworker and I’m hoping you can make your way through your life of woodworking enjoyable ✌🏻
CHEESE
I absolutely love the fact you had integrity and was able to tell "sponsors" that dropped you a NO and not going for the money. That alone just made me a huge supporter/fan. Keep up the great work and videos! I hope to one day get my woodworking side hussle up and going. I wish I had help with it, but I am learning and struggling a bit and learning from my struggles along with building a usable shop.
CHEESE! Great response to sponsors who attempted to re-establish relationship with you after they dropped you without investigating what was truly going on. I'd prefer not to do business with them but understand the need for you not to go down that path. Great moral compass you have, very hard to find today!
Cheese! Great news Eric! Glad that you got your Instagram account straight and "Todd" was a good guy and was willing and able to get involved. Looking forward to what you have planned in the future. :)
Thanks Lawrence! I’m looking forward to sharing everything I’m working on!
Cheese is a wonderful word. I love it and it is my spirit animal. I live in Wisconsin were our state flower is cheese. Thank you for sharing your journey, it is encouraging our small business to expand out and not put all of our eggs in one basket.
Cheese. Massive respect for telling those companies that dropped you to stick it as soon as they pretended to be supportive again
Cheese...Who moved the cheese! Exceptional demonstration of patience in the face of overwhelming frustration.
CHEESE - I applaud your professionalism in how you handled the ridiculous "software error". I had seen many of your videos, but this is the one that made me subscribe. Keep up the integrity.
Cheese, I enjoyed the story of your journey to happiness working with wood and spreading your knowledge on social media. It’s a path I wanted to follow as a youngster but was groomed to be a “professional” early on. I’m now 84 years old, and after watching many of your UA-cam videos, am energized to devote my remaining years to creating modest woodworking projects for posterity. Thanks for the inspiration you give us all.
Cheese...Congratulations are in order. Your persistence yielded the results without having to go postal 👏👏. So happy for you.
Cheese, I appreciate your honesty, and your integrity. You do have my full support, thank you for this, UA-cam update.
Cheese! Wow, what a nightmare! I know social media can be a valuable asset but I am appalled at the level of influence it can and does have over our lives. I am a 73 year old woodworker that got my start at age thirteen in a school shop class. After trade school and an apprenticeship I worked as a union carpenter, custom home builder and cabinet maker. Needless to say there were lot's of ups and downs, landing jobs and losing jobs, finishing jobs and then not getting paid, recessions and boom markets, never a dull moment. I am retired now and have an extra garage on my property that is being converted to my shop. Regardless of all the headaches I love woodworking as much or more than I did in that shop class in 1963. That is why I started watching your UA-cam channel. Your true passion and interest in woodworking caught my attention and in the end I believe that is what will define your success. Also, I like your videos. Hang in there!
Cheese. I've been watching your vid's for about a year and really enjoy how you present them. I think I watched this video awhile back, but I just rewatched it. What a story. So glad you were able to get your account restored. Keep the great videos coming safe. Good luck. PS: your videos also helped me find John on Lincoln St and I'm hooked over on his channel too.
That was a very insightful video. I’m 55 years old and came up with Norm Abram. 4 years ago I took up woodworking. My first find on UA-cam was Mark S. The Wood Whisperer. From there I’ve become really huge fans of Bourbon Moth, Stumpy Nubs, Jonathan Kats Moses to name a few. I recently found your channel and I totally enjoy. You’re the “cheese” of my new subscription on UA-cam.
I have found it productive to email every company attorney, cpa, and various vice presidents like every one that’s on the SEC list when they give their annual reports.
Cheese! I love your tenacity and content and the fact your desire to learn and improve is coupled with your honesty and integrity. And dude you've got mad skills! As a teacher working in a shop I built solo using 99% salvaged lumber, tin, and framed almost totally with pallets, I can appreciate your working conditions. Keep up the great work and I look forward to watching your almost 3000 videos!! Best of luck to you!
Community. That deletion of your account makes no sense. So sorry they did that. Lost your birthday? That’s insane. Glad it was finally fixed. I have subscribed now that I found you as I want to see more of your old and upcoming wood projects.
CHEESE ❤ despite atypically long videos for YT, your channel keeps my interest to learn, appreciation of clarity and care, and respect for you knowing that you put A LOT of work into this. Good luck in your endeavors. I hope reward finds you soon.
Cheese! Really appreciate your honesty and attitude. Your advice about multiple revenue streams is spot on! Now on to content!
I’m totally thrilled that you got saved, mate! Crazy story, glad it got a happy ending. Oddly enough, it is encouraging me to get started myself.
I wish you the best of luck Jonas!
This is a great story and warning to any of us that rely on others for income...especially indifferent mega companies. Though a year old it is timeless. Thanks...good stuff on your platform. Thanks for doing it! And please tell the milkman "no more CHEESE!"
Cheese, I am very impressed by the ordeal you have gone through, fortunately everything has returned to normal and we can continue to enjoy your fantastic educational videos
cheese, well done and congrats you got your account back and showing some of the issues with building a business thru social media systems.
This should be mandatory viewing for anyone starting an “ income stream” chanel. Good job.
Community…sorry to hear about your recent ‘life slap’!! That sucks! Hoping for mad success on UA-cam and growing your new Instagram presence!!
community is in your hands!
Remember that you can/should save/copy/paste your patrons and viewers and then stay in contact with them, beyond any platform.
Cheese, thank you for your channel. I lost my business of 32 years, so I appreciate your problem. I have a little wood shop out back and making signs,custom projects, all by word of mouth. Good luck and God speed on your future goals.
You have quality strength of character sir bravo!
Cheese for the camera! Hey, Its great to hear that you got you instagram back! Now I can follow you there as well. I love what you are doing. With all the create channels making things with 10's to 100's of thousand dollar equipment, it is great to see how to do these projects without the nice tool. There are so many details that need to be addressed that the nice tools take care of for you, where with a budget, you have to address them yourself or the results will be "less than desired" and can be very discouraging for some of us.
Thanks again for sharing your passion with us :)
Cheese--such a sad story with a happy ending. I am not a woodworker...yet...but your videos are a wonderful place for me to learn. Thank you.
Cheese! Yay for getting your stuff back. Not yay that it took an actual employee who was interested enough to help. Good luck moving forward.
Cheese!! Absolutely love that things worked out for you and look forward to checking more out!
He just prove how much social media will kick you off for literally any reason
Cheese - I *just* started watching your channel today, the first video I saw was your 'seriously...don't do it" video. Thank you for taking the time to walk through what happened and how it got resolved. Also I think you showed real class in not calling out the sponsors who dropped you and just chose not to work with them anymore. I look forward to seeing your future content and you have been added to my list of UA-camrs to watch/listen to while I work my day job (software engineer). Eventually I want to get the courage up to start selling the woodworking projects I like to "play" with and each video I watch on the subject gets me closer to that 🙂. Best of luck in growing your business.
CHEESE So glad you got some help with your IG nightmare and thanks for sharing your excellent advice about spreading risk. You definitely didn't deserve how you were treated. Keep up the great work!
CHeece. Just started watching your video's and then caught the last 2 about your problems with .... you know. Congrats on working your way through the problem with the help of Todd. Bravo.
Cheese, I love your videos and stories. I admire the way you have been able to persevere and carry on after being so harmed by an “oopsie” from an uncaring conglomeration. I have a small shop and enjoy making stuff. Good luck on losing the day job.
Cheese!
Very glad to hear that the "error" was resolved in your favour. Unfortunate that you had to suffer so much financially from this issue.
I wish you all the best as you move forward with your future endeavors and feel you will be a fantastic inspiration to many many people.
Look forward to some great content coming soon.
Cheers,
Rossco (aspiring woodworker)
Cheese. It sucks that all that has happened to you. I'm a recent subscriber, and I absolutely enjoy your videos. You keep them quick and to the point. They're not incredibly drawn out and I'm sure everyone appreciates that. Thank you for what you do.
Cheese. Just found your channel today and really like your style and the work you do. All the best and thank you!
Cheese. What a story, it “beggars” belief. I bemoan the fact I cannot talk to a human on many, many sites, but it never cost me half of any revenue. Well done for getting through it, all the very best for the future.
Nick S.
Cheese- I just wanted to say thanks for your authenticity and passion for what you do! I am just starting to learn woodworking myself. It is where I find my escape from stress. You make learning fun. I’m very happy “Todd” was able to help! Keep doing what you and your wife do! We appreciate your work!
Cheese to you, I am 67 years old recently retired from the job that supported me and my family. Now can spend time doing some of the stuff I didn't have time for cause I was to busy working in a warehouse. Well I bought a nice Craftsman table saw and was making some Christmas gifts, having fun even though I don't have any real woodworking skills. It's like you say in your video. I just really enjoy making stuff. My stuff is not nearly refined as yours, you truly are blessed with a talent. Long story short I have never watched the UA-cam until recently. While making some of my Christmas presents I got the tip of my index finger nipped. So while not a pleasant experience I prefer to look at it as a positive, because now I have had the time to watch and hopefully learn from some youngin's. Thank you for your content. I get the pins out of my finger tomorrow, but I will still be watching you.
Cheese! I am glad this worked out for you. I have been watching several channels trying to learn how to start and grow a wood working business. I stumbled upon one of you videos the other day and have watched many since. I have been very impressed at where you started and how far you come. After watching one of your videos, I thought, he is doing exactly what I want to do! I still have no idea how to start this adventure and at 52 with a full time "DAY JOB" that I have been at for 27 years its a little intimidating. I cant wait to see what you have for us next and go back and watch your videos that I have missed Keep up the great work and showing your kindness to others.
Cheese!! Congratulations on being back on Instagram and thank you for your enthusiasm . I am subscribed to many UA-cam channel especially those that provide support and tuition, but your is by far the most articulate. Well done and thank you.
Ken UK
CHEESE!!! I really enjoy your channel, and I'm glad to hear you got everything straightened out [finally!]! Looking forward to your upcoming content!
Cheese - We're definitely at the will of social media. Sorry you had to go through that ordeal! Unfortunately we need those platforms! Looking forward to seeing the next vid!
Cheese... Dude, I watched your video about your horrible experience with Instagram, and I was totally amazed at how you described your reaction to their lack of response to you please for help. You are a bigger person that I . I would have gone crazy over that situation. But, I, too, realize that there really is literally nothing that can be done with these "free" social media services. It is their ball and they can go home with it whenever they wish. You are an inspiration to those of us that watch and try to learn from makers like yourself. Hang in there. You will be rewarded someday or your patience. And, THANK YOU for your content!!!!!!!!
Cheese - Many, many Instagrammers carry backup accounts, to which they post at least part of the same content and to which they ask their subscribers to subscribe. Exactly for the scenario of getting banned. Maybe try this and dual post to 2 accounts.
I appreciate your craft, work ethic, generosity and overall vibe!
Cheese. Bud you are an inspiration. I truly thank you for your hard work, supplying great content and honest opinions based around compassion for others. You truly are a breath of fresh air on what is other wise a self opinionated social media platform. thank you.
Cheese - I'm really glad you got your Instagram mess fixed. Those sponsors that didn't come back, their loss! I love your channel.
Cheese - I just started watching your videos today and was a bit disappointed when I saw the title of this video as many with this kind of hyperbole are just a bunch of hype. But you are the real deal. So compassionate of you to take the time and suggest that folks have more than one stream of income. Talk about turning lemons into lemonade not only for yourself but for others- kudos to you. So glad the universe got your call and sent you “Todd” and so glad you didn’t give up. Wow, impressive persistence.
CHEESE!😄 I am more of a car guy but I stumbled upon your previous video (via the rabbit hole route) to this one regarding the Instagram issue. My woodworking experience was many years ago, helping a friend turn an unfinished basement room into an office/small library. Aside from the satisfaction of a tangible and pretty decent end result, I also got a few stitches out of the process😂
Anyway, I really enjoy your style and positivity. I'm looking forward to catching up the journey from that video to the present. 👍
Cheese. Sorry that you had to go through that. I know it is very frustrating! Glad that "Todd" was able to help. Best of luck!
Cheese! Really happy for you to hear you were able to get your channel back and enable you to be as productive as you once were. Keep doing what you’re doing and looking forward to your upcoming and also future videos 😊👍🏾
Cheese - That is a massive change in income both times. Glad you got through the mess and I hope it never happens again. I had a small blip with my instagram account and they had me take a pic of myself same as you holding a page with a code. Nuts.
Cheese - That's great that you got everything back to the way it was and that you kept your head held high while navigating your situation. You deserve massive props for not giving up and especially for politely giving those sponsors, who did not support you in a time of need, the single finger salute. From my POV, you won against a fortune 500 company!
Virtual knuckles bro! 👊
Cheese - I am new here. Have watched your videos before but never subscribed. That said, after watching this video I'm pretty sure you're the real deal, and your product recommendations can be trusted.
Extreme business ethics is not the only reason I do with business with organizations, but it is an absolute prerequisite. Can't wait to compile a list of the ones that wrote you off😀. Thanks!
Just discoved your channel, but you will go ways, keep it up.
And to all Tods of this world (including you Cheese), thanks for sharing same frame of heart and kindness that defeats dumb and numb mindlessness...
Cheese- You are the big cheese for all the advice we get from you! Thank you!
Cheese
I just today came across your channel and watched both videos on how instagram deleted your account and all you did to finally get it back. Gotta hand it to you for not giving up. I was close to jumping up and down when you didn’t take back the sponsors who dropped you. Best of luck to you building your business so you can quit the daytime gig. I’ll definitely be watching your channel often as I can. God Bless
CHEESE, Glad to hear you got it all sorted out! Thank God for the "Todd's" of the world. It's nice to hear that there are still people out there willing to help even if/when the big corps won't! Take care and all the best for your future projects.❤❤👍👍
Just stumbled across your videos on the whole Instagram debacle. They were anything but "Cheese"y. Glad to see you're up and running again. You have a new fan and subscriber in me.👍
Really glad you got this issue resolved finally.
Cheese, thanks for the update, I just saw the other video about Instagram shutting you down. Best of luck.
Cheese First I want you to know I am not a subscriber but I did see this video and the previous one with everything that happened. I just wanted to say good for you for keeping your integrity by telling them companies no when they came back like that. Also good on you for not outing them. That is something that I really respect!!!!
cheese! just wanted to show support! so glad it worked out! ( so temped to do the forensic work of seeing which companies screwed you) but good for you for being such a cool dude!
You tube does this to creators also. They demonetize and then ban creators for supposed violations of their terms, but then never explain what terms or conditions are violated.
Cheese I am 75 years old and I enjoy woodworking. I have watched a lot of woodworking videos and I have to say I have enjoyed yours more than all the rest. I understand your love of woodworking. I joined a woodworking club when I lived in Florida and met a lot of wonderful guys. We made toys for children that were given to different organizations at Christmas time. While I was there, I got the club members to start making urns for veterans. Since then, we have helped families and organizations bury Veterans that either could not afford an urn or were unclaimed remains at funeral homes. I have moved to Arkansas and I still make toys for foster kids and urns for veterans which I donate. I have tried to do craft fairs to sell some of the items I have made but it is just too much work for me by myself. I have also put my items in stores where you rent a space and I find that I just make enough to pay the rental fee. So, I might as well give things away. I wish you the best in your business and keep up the good work.
Cheese. So happy you're back up & running. I'm new to your channel & was late with all of this info but even as a newbie I was bummed to learn you might suffer in any way from these crazy glitches. I too have suffered from them. 33+ years as a tile contractor. My own business for 24 of those... 😉 STIIL going strong. Stay true & do good things. You seem like an exceptional human. I truly send you all the very best. Happy New Year, Sir. Again, You're a true craftsman! Excellent workmanship & attention to detail!
cheese. so glad you got your account back and i bet that was hard to turn down sponsors but if they are only out for them slefs and not help you when your down then i like your principles. good luck going forward.
It is absolutely cool that you're back up and running on this platform. It is scary, however, that ALL of this information that you have posted, is still 100% readily available, after months of being blocked and banned... On that note, I admire your personal integrity, honesty, and adaptability.
Todd sounds like a real one. Send him something cool and keep that relationship.
cheese, new to your channel, your a class act and happy all has turned the corner. keep for faith in fellow woodworkers, we love ya
Cheese! Glad to hear the Insta message. Can't wait to see the shop your. I've already seen a lot of items that will help me produce better projects. Keep up the great work!
Cheese Louise what a nightmare! Glad to hear things got straightened out, and that your integrity that those sponsors claimed they liked about u, was present when corresponding w/them, and had a hand in giving them that classic salute. Aloha
Cheese! Am so glad you overcame your issue with instagram. Sad it happened to begin with. Good Luck!
CHEESE: I love your videos because - this is an overall reason - I love your obsession (I use that word loosely) with taking care with every aspect of what you do. Doing a thoroughly good and thorough job. Years ago, one of the first things I ever built was a bookcase. When a friend saw it she said “Why did you do such a good job?” I haven’t recovered from that remark to this day.
I don't dislike social media. I dislike that people don't understand that they're the product on social media and they need us more than we need them.
