Great review. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much, Mike! nice review! 👍Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello again Mike. You seem to be keeping well. A 60 tooth blade for ripping! I do like your table saw. Mine isn’t as substantial but it does have a small sliding carriage which is so useful. Have a great week 🌞

Awesome video brother. Nice blade. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an amazing day. Much love and RESPECT. Happy Thanksgiving to you and the family

Yay! 1st! 🎉

Great looking bird houses. When you were roughing the outside of the bodies you had your chuck mounted to your tailstock - how did you have it connected?

They all look great, with the variety there’s plenty diversity to choose from.

Of all the birdhouses I’ve seen you do, I think this is the nicest one to date. Excellent!

Incredible video MIKE. Thanks for sharing. Hope you and the family have a Happy Thanksgiving. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible weekend. Much love and RESPECT brother

Very nice work!

What is the diameter and height of the inside of your cylinder. What size hole do you cut for the bird and how far from the bottom is it?

Mike, I always enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.

Do you sand in between coats?

Great stuff 👏 👍

That came out beautifully! Loving the new editing style! Vast improvement 👍👍👍 ❤

That’s rather nice and its good to catch up with you again 🌞

Cool project, very creative! I found your channel while looking for videos featuring the Clark deep hollowing system. Do you recommend it? Do you ever wish you had gotten another system? Favorite/must have accessories?

So thankful for the many folks who stepped up to help y'all out! And thanks for sharing your experience. Best wishes to your family.

Fantastic idea beautifully executed Mike. I love it. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw

I watched these videos out of order. I'm glad I came back to see this video. I really learned a lot. Thank you for sharing this video.

Amazing! I have tried to think of a way to turn spheres, and your technique seems amazingly simple. You probably have the tuning experience behind it and shaving sharp tools to make it look easy. I am sold, I am going to sharpen my knives and try your technique. Thank you for sharing!

That is one beautiful piece MIKE. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible weekend. Much love and RESPECT

Great jug. The colors of the various wood plugs are great.

1st🎉

Mike - GREAT recount of your episode! I am also a woodturner and also had a heart attack on July 4th, 2024. Mine did not result in cardiac arrest and was a NSTEMI event, so I was quite fortunate. I also had 100% occlusion of the OM segment of the Circumflex artery, and was the recipient of a 22 mm stent that resolved my blockage and restored circulation. I am very happy you are doing well, and can personally relate to every part of your description! Fortunately, I got to the ER early, and following ECG and bloodwork (confirming elevated troponin levels), I was put on heparin and awaited an echocardiogram and eventually a visit to the cath lab. Stay well, watch those fats/cholesterol, and exercise - I hope you did a cardiac rehab program (mine was excellent!), and that you continue with an enjoyable, healthy life!

What is the minwax spray finish you used? Finished product looks great!

Thanks for sharing Mike.

Amen and I'm glad God gave grace, power, and the folks who weren't afraid to do what they could to help you. Bless you and your entire family Mike.

I lost so much sleep wandering if you made it. A week later, I finally messaged the Vintage Market website to ask that question. I didn't hear back from them that day. However, when I was leaving work that afternoon, my phone rang. I answered and you said, "Hello Bonnie. My name is Mike Brailsford. I am the gentleman whose life you helped save." I had to pull off the road to take that call. Words cannot describe the thankfulness that my prayers had been answered. It was a beautiful thing to be able to speak with you and Carol on the phone that day. It was also beautiful to see you at the show this past weekend. You look amazing! You and your family will forever hold a special place in my heart!

This is not an unbiased review, and sanding without dust extraction is foolish. You cannot make a proper comparison without using the other tool. Don't even begin to compare if you are not using dust extraction either. Attaching a vacuum clears the paper and keeps it working better for longer.

Mike, we do serve a faith God . Jan 21, 2024, was my event day. Gods not finished with us yet!!!!

That was so moving Mike. I do hope we can meet when you visit the UK. Go safe 🌞

Good grief Mike that must have been horrific for you and your family. I'm so pleased that you are still here with us and I would also like to add my thanks to everyone that helped you on May 11th. Take care my friend and I wish you continued good health. Cheers, Huw

Incredible story MIKE. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible day. Much love and RESPECT

So glad you got through this. Hope all is well with you and your family now. As a fellow heart patient (Pacemaker AF & Angina, I had my heart attack in 2016) I feel for you.❤

Such an incredible story. I am not one to believe in luck. Instead I believe God was watching over you. It’s been great to see your recovery and watch your weight loss. I’m so very happy for you. Continued prayer as you continue on this journey God has set you on.

Remarkable and shocking story! I am so glad you and your family weathered the hurricane and I sincerely thank you for sharing the tale. It makes me think about refreshing my CPR chops.

Nice to know there are good people out there. Glad you made it.

Thanks for sharing this emotional and unbeknowningly providential experience

I must try harder.

The grass gouging with those tires isn't bad if you make wide turns in the -good- grass. It WILL gouge anytime your turning in 4 wheel drive. lol. Your gonna love the head lights, they are really bright! You can easily raise the windshield to cover the gap at the top as rain will come in there when at speed. I did a lot of looking and measuring to get an after market rear window/canvas. It's near perfect but way less then the factory one. You can also find the same mirrors as stock online also and believe it or not they were only a few dollars less the the factory ones they used. This spring I had to take it to the shop to replace one of the front transmission universal boots that looked like it dried out and cracked. Warrantied no problem. They say they're around 80% American made so parts shouldn't be a problem? I looked at a LOT of reviews for most of the cheaper SxS ones and it was either, couldn't get parts or they had a hard time getting them worked on. It was hit or miss with them all. I got a new L5W (the wider version of the L5 tho I think they're all the same now) in early "22 but not really sure exactly what year it is as mine was also sitting on the lot for a bit it looked like. But in the PNW it doesn't take long to look a bit weathered. Mine doesn't have the whine but I think my engine is that much louder. I believe they were starting to upgrade everything in '23 so things have changed. The wife got tired of connecting/disconnecting the trailer to the mower just to water the plants or picking up branch's, etc,. I have a tractor so don't need to carry much, only have 5 acres so don't need to do 45 or 50 mph. The newer ones have a couple of more HP so that should make it just right. I have a neighbor that has a -really- steep driveway and I can keep the pedal to the floor and it will hold it''s speed with 2 people and around a 100lb water tank in the back but no more.

Your hand was in the way when you tied the para cord

The footage was so speeded up that we couldn’t actually tell what you were doing !

Very nice. Thank you

Good looking rig. It should service you well for many years. Thanks for sharing.

Nice ride. Some of those are really nice. We have a couple of the Axis's from Lowes at work. Cheaper brand but run exceptionally well. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible day. Much love and RESPECT brother

I hear a wine when its running, not sure if its the CVT or what, but that would get to me after a while, I would have to use some hearing protection, its at a range that would drive me crazy, wow

great job

Thank you for showing your process! I especially appreciated the part with the drawknife, as I have just purchased one for my own beginner project and can’t wait to use it❤

Sorry to hear you had a heart attack. I hope you’re well now!
