    Hi from England. As someone who is incapable of hammering a nail in straight, I’m in awe of talented craftsmen. I like your commentary style and the results are outstanding.
  • @maggiesfarm7970
    I'm a 67 year old daughter of a lifelong woodworker. I have a bit of a hard time with bow ties, but these two really did look pretty nice! You have a great talent!
  • @allesparty4690
    Austria. I don't have a question, but I love watching your beautiful work!
  • Indiana USA. LOVED IT ALL. This is what I watch when I am tired of TV to relax
  • @TheMogd0r
    I'm a painter and I have to work for myself because if I work for other people they get mad at me for spending hours sanding and filling. What I'm trying to say is, I bloody love your channel
  • @Bamaman14k
    Alabama, Cam I watch all of your videos all the way to the end, I have no idea how anyone could turn them off in the middle. I usually don't comment, but this table, and why you're doing it, was too important not to say thank you. Jimmy

    Hi there all the way from Jordan. I am not a woodworker and don’t think I have the patience to learn at my 48 years. I am, however, a pediatrician who is always on the lookout for relaxing videos to watch as I wind down from a full day in a clinic of screaming children. Although there may be a lot of different woodworking channels, your voice is smooth and relaxing. I wanted to thank you for your art, and to let you know that you’ve helped me forget my daily grind with your voice. Thanks!

    Arkansas. I am very happy for (and jealous of) the person who won this table. What a gorgeous piece of work! "Heirloom quality" is an understatement. Just amazing.
  • @wearenotalike
    As a boilermaker, which is a very slow trade. I appreciate the time you take with your work. Metal work is extremely slow and so I appreciate this sort of master craftsmanship. I have watched about 15 of your videos in the last few days because covid and I also enjoy your commentary.
  • Abuja, Nigeria My housemates think I'm obsessed with your work, cause if I'm not painting or playing games, I'm watching your videos
  • Manistee Michigan. I am bipolar and working with wood helps me to stay calm and productive, love your channel.
  • What a delight to watch your videos. Thank you for sharing all your tips. You strike a perfect balance to show the detailed steps, your craftsmanship, and not bore the audience with too long videos. Well done !
  • New South Wales, Australia. I find your videos so therapeutic to watch and listen to. I turn 40 this year, but when I grow up I wanna be just like you.
