    So many marriages fail because one or both spouses can’t or won’t put in the work that it takes to keep a marriage working and on the same journey together. I pray that both of you continue in the direction you have chosen ,and many more collaborations of life keep you close and in love….. be the exception!!!!

    Okay you made me cry. I love watching your videos but this probably was the best one yet. Certainly the most important. My dear wife and I have been married since 1975 and she is the greatest blessing of my life. Continue to value your marriage!

    Congrats to you and Adam for choosing to make your marriage work, and working your marriage. That is really the key in marriage, both people choosing the marriage over momentary comfort. Blessings and grace are almost always the result of your effort, anchored boats cannot be steered and thus, go no where.

    Corporations do not have your interests at heart. I don't know what Adam did, but I doubt Amazon felt the loss for long, and he was probably replaced in short order (this is no slight against Adam). Your marriage however is a totally different beast.

    My aunt achieved her childhood dream of become a farmer when she got re-married to a neighbor who raised dairy cows. Which they retired from recently only to rehab a condemned house together. Watching how they worked together, and also seeing how much you threw yourself into your projects, I thought "it's got to be hard on their marriage for Adam to be so disconnected from all of this". I thought I might see a video about that at some point, and I'm so glad it's a happy one!

    I bought one of those Type S kits from Stew Mac last year and I even have some upgrades like a set of new Fender Eric Johnson pickups and a Floyd Rose Rail Tail... still sitting in the box. The quality of the kit parts are top notch and I actually checked the neck to body fit immediately, perfect. Maybe I'll give that a go this Christmas instead of sitting around in despair. Thanks for the thought to refresh my memory and video.

    I’m very glad you are taking your marriage as a priority. Keep working at it. Marriage will get better with time. Remember that no one and nothing is perfect on this earth. So, allow each other the space to make mistakes, forgive each other and give each other the benefit of the doubt. Also, look for your spouse’s love language and do that for each other. This is very important to have a full tank of love.

This is something rare among couples, and isn't really allotted for in the traditional modern American lifestyle. I'm so excited for you guys that you've taken a leap towards each other, and I know for sure you'll continue to be rewarded for this effort and devotion. Love ya, thanks for sharing your journey and the cam that almost got away. xox

    Excellent video and message. Best of luck with your business!
    I have a fairly stressful job as an engineer and manager at a fast paced medical device design company. I have found that if I don't get enough "shop time" making stuff, either for work or for fun, the stress builds up. There is a release in making something fun and functional, especially if it is a new invention (that later gets patented) or something made useful from scrap. Even better when you involve your family and friends in an epic build.

    Time. My wife use to usher our children, their friends and our friends children to here, there and everywhere. We had the 7 passenger van; is what I thought. I commented once to her that she seemed to be the mom doing most of the driving. Her response: I don't care I get to spend time with them. She was right. Not every moment is wonderful but it is wonderful to have every moment.
