      Your videos never fail to deliver. Your shooting style, the light, the humor, and your creativity and style are all top notch. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work. I really hope that UA-cam makes you a lot of money and we see you in your new house/garage one day! Not that what you have now isn't great, just hoping you move on a continual slope upwards with all of your hard work which deserves reward!

      I doubt you’re the only viewer envious of Andy’s setup. He took a classic storage technique (attaching old jars underneath a shelf), then made it even MORE efficient by affixing the jars to a beam that freaking ROTATES! Genius!

    I can't get over the satisfying editing (AND makeover)! The smooth cuts and wipes for the sanding, you even put in time for stop motion!! The amount of effort you put into these makes me excited for every new video. The quiet documentary style is perfect for what you do, and it creates a seriously investing and relaxing atmosphere. I love seeing and hearing all the tool-work up close! Your videos make me appreciate furniture and the structures behind them so much more. Your channel is state of the art ❤I'm so glad you could share your hobby with us.

      The simple rule of thumb(pun intended) is to always have the blade or drill bit going away from your body no matter what.
      exacto knife, drill. Use a vice, use vice grips, use quick grips to hold your work. It just takes once to make a bad mistake. Ask anyone with 8 fingers.

      I’m not sure what the thumb reference was for in this case…but stigmata…perhaps.

    I've always been a fan of channels like this, meaning people that take something old or broken (or both) and try to restore. Something I love about you is that you save more of the material from your projects if it is in decent shape. It's smart from a financial standpoint. Also, you use it to help with your work.

This piece looks fantastic i love the addition of the two table leaves double duty chest of drawers. For a moment i thought you were going to make a secretary desk out of the two chest of drawers one on top of the other it the drawers removed on the above set and replaces with glass doors, i think that would also have suited this set of drawers.

That really came out fantastic. One of the things that makes me love your work even more (than the obvious fantasticness of the pieces) is that you repurpose, save, and make use of every single piece of wood, nails, screws etcetera. That is not only a special talent, but it is so environmentally sound and caring. And I totally love the way you edit your videos as well, they in of themselves are entertaining. Thank you so much for always having such wonderful videos.
