    The “where im at” identifier is pure genius! Well done!
  • @bobbailey7235
    As a retired contractor I was very impressed in your abilities and attention to detail. I do not think you saved money, but you proved where there is a will there is a way. Keep up the great work.
  • this man a whole carpenter, I'm just watching this cause its satisfying.
  • @KevinJCoburn
    That tip about putting a wrench on the drill is a game changer!
  • @mattrogers9716
    You’re an awesome dad! Keep working with your kid, she’ll never forget it.
  • @jovian6367
    The "where I'm at" graphic is really nice!
  • @31acruz
    This works well with wood because none of us are powerlifters of 700lbs, the average person doesn't need steel. Good job!
  • @ironshark5015
    We need more YouTubers doing “where I’m at” It just gives it another dimension.. i mean, I feel like iv wasted my whole life without “where I’m at!” 😆👍
  • @whiskeylung
    You’re definitely my favourite DIY YouTuber. Wish you’d put up more content because I crave it. Someone give this guy a TV contract or a huge sponsorship please?
  • @rebecca57638
    I sat and watched this whole video with absolutely no plan to build it. In fact, I don’t even know how to use a power tool. I just couldn’t stop watching! Great video!
  • @katybroyles2805
    This is my first time watching. I’m so impressed. I’ve seen a lot of similar makers but never seen threaded inserts or a diagram to show where you’re working before.
  • Very cool that you included your daughter on this. Let me tell you, you never forget spending time with Dad doing Dad stuff and helping out. Thanks for sharing :)
  • This is incredible! Your work is always impressive, but this blew me away. I had a hard enough time putting together a DIY pull-up bar in my garage. Thanks for the inspiration, bro. Keep up the amazing work!

    I was literally shopping on Amazon for one of these last week, but I hadn't bought one yet - then I ran across this video. Put it on the "Watch Later list" and went through the holiday weekend. I started watching it Monday morning and liked it a few minutes in, 'cause I think you've just saved me a lot of money. When your "Young Boss" showed up, I wished I could like it all over again. It's really touching to see good quality time spent teaching children, especially girls, to use tools and not be helpless, and even better to show good quality time spent by loving dads! She will cherish these times for the rest of her life. You've got a new sub from me!
  • @KellyConcepts
    Dude this is legit! Time to work on those baby arms 😜. I'm surprised you didn't strap LEDs to this like most of your projects these days.
  • The drilling free hand "trick" you gave in freaking genius! Thank you, sir!
  • @ldrum2116
    I just love to see you ideas come to life right before my eyes and being a Dad myself to seeing your little girl join in is everything. Happy Father's Day to you!
  • @jamesp767
    I've seen a wide spectrum of DIY squat wracks, and yours is topnotch. You did an awesome job making this thing sturdy and styling. I really dig that you went the extra mile to add strength and make it look good; you are a skilled craftsman.
