You are a great man!! Changed Noahs life instantly!

[@andrewjonas5523]

If you’ve ever wondered what parenting really means, I believe this is the answer. Not taking the spotlight from Noah, but his parents deserve tons of credit here. Yes sir, no sir, please, thank you, genuine humility and gracefulness…simple things all parents want out of their child. So while Noah is a rockstar, his parents deserve a standing ovation as well. Awesome video, awesome young man, and just what I needed today.

[@731Woodworks]

100% Agreed Andrew. They've raised him right.

[@biomorphic]

That's a good kid, I hope his dad is proud of him.

[@BJB459]

[@russmartin4189]

Parents are a part of it, no doubt, but a lot of credit goes to the kid. Some are highly motivated self starters. I was like that, whereas my brother and sister were not. I was always thinking about how I could make money. I suspect he does too.

[@pa.fishpreacher6166]

[@LeahGolden-sx4hd]

Thanks for all of the kind words from everyone. Noah is a great kid, and Matt has really changed his life with his videos. Noah watched him for years before he finally got to meet him, and I think just meeting him was a dream come true. The tools were an awesome bonus! Thanks Matt for being so kind to him! My husband and I enjoyed meeting you too, and I think the video is great.

[@stephanieSimmons214]

Mrs Golden - you have an AMAZING young man for a son, and y’all couldn’t have chosen a better mentor than Matt Outlaw. I can’t wait to see the AMAZING things Noah will do as he continues to grow his skills, talent and brand for years to come. Good job on raising such a wonderful young man!

[@LeahGolden-sx4hd]

❤❤❤❤ thank you so much! That is so true on both counts!!!

[@carlcarlssen4299]

Amazing kid for sure. I want my son to be polite like this when he grows up. Still watch him on that table saw though, the kickback can still be present like any other saw and should be treated like the safety mechanism isnt there, just in case.

So often the younger generations are labeled as entitled and ungrateful. This young man shows that those stereo-types don't apply to everyone. Good on Matt for passing forward the blessings that he's had, and good on Noah for accepting with humility and gratefulness.

[@gregghernandez2714]

This young man should be an inspiration to every generation, young and old. He is accomplished, yet is also incredibly modest. It was priceless to see his reaction to his gifts. We all know he will use them well in his workshop.

I read this before the last couple minutes of the video and thought, what the heck. Now I know and I agree. Investing in this young man is money well spent! Brought a tear of joy to my eye - but I swear it was some saw dust.

You're awesome Matt! Not only do you inspire people all over the place (including me), but you're giving back too. You have really found your calling in life. Keep it up!

I don’t even know you personally and i know I’ve learned so much from you and I’m 59 years old and have always wanted to be better. You have made me better and that my friend in my book makes you an awesome dude.

[@Mike-ou5ps]

Howdy Mr. 731.... I honestly thought the Lil Dude was about to cry when you gave him the Tablesaw and CNC. That's good stuff man. At 14....I think I was in my 2nd or 3rd year of Woodshop and I played the Clainet in band. Almost every single girl that walked down the hallway......many times I almost walked into a wall. Girls wasn't interested in a Geek like myself.....Loved my woodworking and my music. NEVER thought at that age to try and sell anything I made. But, then again...FB, KZbin, Cell phones didn't exist. You wanted to learn something, you either found someone to teach you or used the ANTIQUE "Google called a Card Catalog in the school library. I'll be 50 come September. I still can't get past my fear of selling things openly. This dude is 14 and selling!!!! WOW!!!! I still have hang ups about my miters. Good story Mr. 731. Perhaps I should tuck my tail and just go for it and set fear aside.

Go for it Mike!

[@Juangaba]

Trying to get my grandson into woodworking; splitting kindling for him to sell, he needs some bank to start. He goes out w/ Papa to harvest skids not pallets but 10, 12, 16’ skids they can be every type of wood you can imagine. He loves it! I keep telling him money is just a tool it’s the challenge and freedom to creat and then bless others with what they probably couldn’t afford otherwise. Presently for me it’s a hobby I can afford and it’s all from the heart. If I must fund back the hobby and charge it will be as much bartering as possible, sharing the love makes the love grow, peace out.

You know, lots of folks might say, "Well, Noah's doing great for a _14 year old_." But no, he's making some seriously high-quality stuff that most any woodworker would be proud to make and sell, no matter what age. The market doesn't lie; if he was making just adequate stuff, he wouldn't be selling nearly as much and his business wouldn't be growing like it is. He's got plenty to be proud of, and it's awesome to see him getting this kind of support. Not only that, but it's truly great to see a young guy with his politeness and humility. If he stays true to that, he will go far. Awesome video all around. Thank you.
