    Looking back at your older videos, I can see that the workflow, routines, and tools you shared are still super relevant today. But the way you’ve made everything so seamless and personalized now is just next-level. I used to bounce around from tool to tool, trying to optimize my workflow, and honestly, I’d even get distracted tinkering with random stuff. Watching your content made me realize I just need to focus on the work itself instead. Also, I really appreciate how, even after all these years, you’re still the same guy taking the time to reply to comments. It’s rare to see that kind of consistency, and it’s one of the reasons I keep coming back to your channel ❤❤

    8:00 with a whole saw like that to reduce tear out you generally want to drill until the drill bit comes out the other side and you've sawed about half way through and then flip it round and drill the rest from the other side, using where your screw has poked through as the perfect guide :)

    Just running through this video and I have a tip for trimming the edging. The edging will have a grain and the double trimmer will cut one edge smooth and rip the other. Take them apart and use one trimming blade to cut one side, then run the trimmer on the opposite side. one away from you, then towards you. I hope that makes sense.

    Such videos are ever so inspiring and therapeutic. It is also marvelous to see that your dad is also involved in making these with you. I guess you must have gotten those designing and woodworking genes from him right?
    Stay safe and happy. Wishing you and Belinda all the best!

    If those 3D prints ever start to leak a bit, which I've found them prone to do after a time, I find it helpful to mix up a batch of clear boat resin and just lightly roto cast it inside each model. The next day, you'll have water tight vessels and they won't mold either (water and bacteria like to grow between the layer lines.)

      Yeah, white Plastidip works well for me, but it’s super stinky and hard to spray inside something with a small opening and get a good coat. I’ve found a fairly viscous resin to be best. Also resin is usually fairly inert and won’t leak chemicals into your plant (silicone is best).

    great job. I'm a fan of design and custom made Items. I love the keyboard, I was planning to make one myself, wood-brass finish.
