My life over the past 4 months… - May 26th, leave to the hospital to have our baby! - House gets hit by tornado 30 minutes later - We find out our house got hit by the tornado and 10 minutes later, baby arrives! - Next day, leave hospital and drive around for 6 hours getting turned away from multiple hotels because they were full with other displaced families - Drive to stay with in-laws - A couple days later we get a 24 hour notice that we need to move all the belongings from our house/shop for demo to begin - Get settled into a short term rental and I go back to work - Almost blow up from a gas leak at the short term rental - Realize first short term rental has bed bugs - Decontaminate all personal belongings to avoid carrying bed bugs - Move back to in laws - Go on a vacation we had planned months prior and try to figure out new place to stay - Trapped in Florida the day of the global flight shut down. - Drive 18 hours home in a rental car with a 7 week old baby - Back to the in laws - Move into a short term rental (bed bug free) - No more insurance money for the short term rental, back to the in laws - October 2nd finally move back into our house But most importantly, I built a bench
Love the bench!! Beautiful design. It's so refreshing to see woodworking done that doesn't of a shop full of tools I wish I owned. Glad others like me have to work in the yard or driveway.
Absolutely beautiful great job for working with what you had and the conditions. So sorry about your family’s loss 🙏🏻🙏🏻 hope your back in your house soon
Been following you on Insta for a while, but didn’t realize you were on YT until this popped up on my feed. So sorry to hear about the saga regarding the tornado. That was a nasty one. As a fellow NWA woodworker, I’m thoroughly impressed you attempted (and nailed) this build in the humid Arkansas summer heat! Unique design and beautiful finished product. 👏🏼
Just found your channel! Love it. NWA?!? I was just there a few weeks ago in Centerton. I'm from California but thinking about moving there for retirement. Our sons lives there with his family and we love it. I subscribed to your channel and look forward to following your progress and projects. Sorry to hear about the tornado. Our son was hit by it as well but fortunately he didn't get too much damage. I heard all about the storm when I visited him and how they took a family in that lost power. I think he said there was something like 5-7 tornados that night.

Beautiful piece and a great choice with the brass rod it’s made it look high end. Congrats on your new baby too
I appreciate it!
Brass rod definitely was worth it
Wow that came out great. I don’t know if I could even do that in my shop. 😅
I appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
Btw I love how much of your personality you bring to these videos. You’ve really got what it takes! Keep up the good work my man
That’s good to hear! Thanks for watching 🙌🏼
Really enjoyed this build. Gave me an idea for a book shelf I want to build. Also love wood carving.
Glad you liked it!
Wood carving definitely adds a fun element
Really nice piece, especially under the conditions. - Chris

I do live in NWA! The storms that came through were pretty wild. Glad your son is okay!
Xin chào bạn thật tuyệt vời ❤🎉❤🎉
Lovely build! Any concerns on movement between the top and the base? I guess is narrow enough not to be a huge issue?
Thank you! The grain orientation of the base and the top all match. It should expand an contract together in theory!
@@alteredgraincustoms9891 ahh good thinking!
Dust is Man Glitter.... the chicks dig it.... lol
Haha that’s what I’ll tell myself
