One of the few YouTubers who moves quickly AND thoroughly through a subject with appropriate pace. Almost like Izzy assumes we’re not idiots.
-
I liked the way you waited until the end to ask for a thumbs up and a subscription. Why anyone would ask for or give that before they’ve even seen the video makes no since to me. I never TU a video that asks for that up front, even if it was a good one. Love your channel and been a sub for years. 👍

Nobody beats the IZ! Straight forward, honest and to the point. Your uploads are MUST watch YouTube. Thanks for helping us!
-
You're an exceptional teacher, thank you for sharing your knowledge, as well for as the effort that goes into thinking through a clear presentation. And your personal way of being and teaching is also so respectful that it's easy to pay attention.

You are ABSOLUTELY one of the BEST! Your delivery is straight-forward, very detailed, and explained in a manner that TEACHES a principle that can be applied elsewhere. You are a VERY good instructor, your mannerism and tone show both your passion for and knowledge of what you do, and it is inviting and encouraging to those eager to learn more and/or perfect their craft. You have a new student here... Thank you. May God continually bless, prosper, provide, and protect you and yours...Dani Dunn

A SIMPLE Thank You doesn't seem to say enough! Your straight forward approach is what I appreciate the most!
-
I've actually been a woodworker for a while now but only used patterns a handful of times. After watching this video I am inspired to incorporate some in my next project. Thanks for all the great content.
-
I enjoy your videos! Being a retired school teacher-band director I like your use of the language I understand. I just like excellence! Going back to school and the kids I taught “You are the bomb Mr Swan”. Thank you very much.

Came to this video after watching your drill powered spindle sander video from 7yr ago - I hadn't come across your channel before - but great to see you've found your niche, great stuff, thanks for sharing it all with us!

Lots of things I didn't know about router bits in this video, that were very clear and easy to understand, Thank you Izzy, for making sense out of the mine field, and thank you for sharing. Love and Respect from North London UK.

You are an awesome craftsman and a great teacher. I have been watching your channel for years! Keep up the great work!
-
I’m a beginner and am in the middle of a project where I’m going to use templates so this came at a great time for me! Thank you very much for taking your valuable time to make a teaching aid for those of us just starting on this journey, it’s very helpful and much appreciated. The router is a bit of an intimidating tool for me still but I’m slowly learning and getting more confident.

I use one of those AC evacuation style pumps on my CNC setup for doing really small acrylic parts. I plumbed an old portable air tank for filling tires inline with the pump. I put a valve on it, so I could draw a vacuum on the tank and just open the valve when I was ready. The rush of vacuum really helps to seal the gasket down well and if ever lifts for a split second and momentarily breaks vacuum, the reservoir of vacuum keeps it from coming off. It really made a world of difference.

Clear, concise. Love the close up photos of the bits. GREAT INFO with no BS.

The lighting and video quality seem so much better! Love it Izzy.

Thank you Izzy. Straight talking with no Bull.

That was one of the most informative videos I've seen. You pass on important info concisely and clearly. Thank you.

Thanks very much for working to clear some of the confusion about what router bit, and router to use. Really appreciate it. Take care and be safe. From a digitally challenge person who still can't leave it alone. Take care lad.
