    I'm a huge fan of both of you guys... and a little late to this video, BUT I wanted to share my thoughts. First of all, watching the two of you develop your relationship and share your passion for building over the past years has been a UNIIQUE & captivating experience. Second, your intrinsic values are universal in what you've created with your first luthier-minded product. It is evident in your build videos that both of you do NOT compromise anything for the sake of because quality is a key element in your shared passion... which to me is what this craft is all about! This tells me that when I receive my order (I am 100% ready to pull the trigger and support you guys), I am confident that WHAT I will receive will exceed my expectations. Thats truly special. WAAAY more special than finding a good enough tool on X or Y and acquiring it. I am positive that all of us in this community would love these bench critters and hopeful that all of us will be able to afford them. Wishing you guys the BEST and HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎉🎉🎉

    Excellent product, lads. I do a lot of 3D printing for people who want to market their designs but don't think about how the end product should look and feel. You have obviously thought about it a lot and, through that, have come up with a product that is going to be useful to most, not all, woodworkers. You cannot please everyone. Also, you have produced a product that is going to sell. Well done.

    Getting moulds made is no joke. I do a bit of work with companies who bring up new products, and mould work is always the time consuming, wallet absorbing, stress inducing work. Getting these across the line is very impressive - especially if you've not worked sourcing suppliers before. I'm very much looking forward to buying these, and the other 9 innovations from you both. Take my money already!
