      Still wondering how much Jimmy paid all these UA-cam Woodworkers to make this add for him and his knives... don't get me wrong I'd still take the money, just wished there was more transparence on this. It is an add after all, and nobody mentioned it so far.

    • @halfbubbleout
      @halfbubbleout 3 роки тому

      I love all the great content and the way these guys have banded together to elevate each other. I dont think any one maker among the "Mob" needs help selling his wares, they do just fine as individuals. However, what is remarkable is the model they have grouped into. The efforts of each individual is meant to elevate the popularity and exposure of the whole group. I have found many great makers by references from other great makers. Add to that a "common" project that each maker puts his own spin on, coupled with a coordinated release on the videos. Absolutely Brilliant! Let's go one step further and let the viewers vote on the favorite versions! I will put my vote in now for Neil!
