Beautiful home Garrett with great views on all sides. Congratulations on finally achieving your dream home and shop. I would definitely lose that wall and paint the inside white to reflect the light better.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

I always say I have two distinct states in my life: when I have a workshop, and when I am building one :) Great workshop, thank you for sharing your feelings!

[@IDCWoodcraft]

[@patberry3388]

Hey Garrett, I agree with you, we are not old, we are however, getting older and wiser. I am going to be 74in February and I am still able to run with the younger people and outrun a lot of them in the bigger distances. I really like your channel and the lessons you provide for the CNC, I came out of the aerospace business and grew up in the machine shop, programming the NC and CNC machines. I am really into woodworking, still have a lot to learn however, if I stick with you, I will keep learning. Thanks for all you are doing and your new space is awesome.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

patberry3388, It's great to hear from someone with such a wealth of experience! Your dedication to staying active and continuously learning is truly inspiring. I'm glad you find the lessons helpful, and it's always exciting to connect with fellow woodworking enthusiasts. Thanks for your kind words about the new space!

[@randito70030]

Garrett I have been watching your videos for years now. Your videos have helped me alot. You talked me into my first CNC the Longmill. I bought it almost two years ago and finally was able to get it set up. ( Hurricane ida rebuild took longer than expected.). Absolutely love the area you moved to. My wife and I are planning to move when I retire next year. We are looking for similar place. Can’t wait to build my big shop and put the Altmill in it. Thanks for all your videos and your very positive attitude. I have bought several of your bits and will continue to buy from you because of all the extra things you do to help beginners. I believe in supporting businesses that go out their way to help people. Also, whoever it is that ships the packages is a blessing to your business. The personal writing on the packages adds that extra detail that really sets your business apart. Looking forward to many more videos. Bless you my friend.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

randito70030, Thank you so much for your kind words! It’s fantastic to hear that the Longmill is up and running and that you've found my videos helpful along the way. Best of luck with your upcoming retirement and the future shop-sounds exciting! I truly appreciate your support and love for the little details we put into our business. Looking forward to sharing more with you!

[@davidhittenberger1651]

Great video! I especially like your 5 pictures of people you admire, these things give life a perspective. I plan to get a CNC in 2025 and your videos are helping me understand the software and tooling. Thank you for your explanations.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

thatjheguy, I'm so glad to hear that you're finding the videos helpful! It's exciting that you're planning to get a CNC in 2025-you're going to love the possibilities it opens up.

[@alpscraftshack599]

Hey Bro - I am truly in awe & admiration of you, and what you have accomplished / achieved, especially after that 'rough patch' / 'dark times' following your loss of Barbara. You have come a long way, and should be very proud. I doubt that many would have achieved all you have, if they were facing a similar situation. I have some medical issues to deals with, and some upcoming surgeries, but, maybe next late spring to early summer I could make a trip to visit. It would be an awesome treat / experience, after following you all these years. In the meantime, may you have an amazing & wonderful B'Day on Tuesday. I also wish you, Sara, and all yours a truly blessed, happy, & wonderful Thanksgiving. May your table be filled with, and overflow with, the abundance this great land has to offer. Keep safe & healthy Garrett. Don't overdo it, when working on your place.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

alpscraftshack599, Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful wishes! It means a lot to me to have wonderful followers like you. I hope you have a fantastic Thanksgiving and take care of yourself as well!

[@IDCWoodcraft]

3sonssigns, Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm really glad to hear that you feel inspired.

[@williamcalderwood9563]

What a neat place you have. Your house is very homey. The best part is your shop is to die for. I would leave it like it is because you have one side for woodworking and the other side for a machine shop. Keep the saw dust out of your machine shop ask me how I know. Anyway I think the good lord has smiled on you and gave you this very cool home..

[@IDCWoodcraft]

williamcalderwood9563, Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you like the space; it really is a labor of love. Keeping the dust separated is definitely key, and I've learned that the hard way too!

[@RAcreativewoodworks]

Yes I would like the project to thank you, Garrett, and happy thanking

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Good morning! New to the channel and new to the CNC world. Looking forward to the video of the welcome sign. I just recently purchased a onefinity elite 48x48 and am excited to learn. I just turned 58 this year. Beautiful place, keep up the good work 😊

[@IDCWoodcraft]

beancreekwoodworks, Good morning! It's great to hear that you’re diving into the CNC world with your Onefinity Elite. Exciting projects await you, and I’m sure you'll create amazing pieces. Enjoy the journey, and thank you for the kind words!

[@JackInTheShop]

Happy birthday Garrett. If you squeeze the black legs together on that Lithophane box, that lid will sit down and hold them together.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

JackInTheShop, Thank you for the birthday wishes! That's a great tip about the Lithophane box-appreciate your insight!

[@corkyokok6552]

I would love to have your file on the card holder. Super cool. Love your videos! You have the heart of a teacher!

Yes I would love To have that . I would need to have the programming. I am old and started when you programmed in the G codes lines thanks.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

janetpersons8030, It's great to hear that you have a background in G-code programming! CNC technology has certainly evolved a lot since then, but it still connects us all through that classic foundation.

[@klaus191265]

Alles sehr schön gefällt mir, ich wünsche dir schon mal alles Gute zum Geburtstag dir und deiner Familie wünsche ich alles Gute. Ihr seid eine tolle Familie vor allem du bist ein sehr guter Mensch.😊

[@IDCWoodcraft]

LYTOMIZE_Woodshop, Thank you! It’s always great to see enthusiasm for woodworking projects. Happy crafting!

[@LYTOMIZE_Woodshop]

@IDCWoodcraft Thanks! And if I haven't said it before, man... great house and location. I moved out of town ten years ago and while I don't have the same view, I had a shop built four years ago and, boy, is it great. The quiet and tranquility and beauty of being out on our own patch of the earth. Welcome, bud... enjoy it to the fullest. I see you are through how you look when you show it to us. I'm so pleased for you!

[@randywoodworking3724]

Congrats on the house. Id love to sell mine in the city and find a place like yours with the awesome shop you have. I'm itching to see the video to get walked through it step by step. I'm completely new to cnc and to computers. Bought the altmill. V carve pro 12. Nice lap top with a 🐁 that you recommended getting. All set up and ready to go. But it's all so confusing. So maybe with you step by step video I might clue in.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

randywoodworking3724, Thanks for the kind words! I'm excited to share my journey with CNC woodworking, and I hope the step-by-step video helps clarify things for you. It's definitely a lot to take in at first, but you’ll get the hang of it with some practice. Best of luck with your projects!

[@MrSwamp8]

Happy Birthday Garrett, we share the date, what a great day!! lol

[@IDCWoodcraft]

MrSwamp8, Thanks! It's awesome to share a birthday with you! Hope you have a fantastic day filled with celebration!

[@mikehurst9880]

Hey Garret thanks for putting this video out this pretty well is my life goal the walking out on the deck naked part especially haha I'm having a really hard day today lost my mom 2 months abo to alcoholism and today it hit me really hard. I have also been down in the bad places like you said in one of your videos a few years ago the worst kind. If you know you know. Anyways thanks for this video and thanks for not giving up look at all the people that love you and your inspiration now eh love that! this video is a inspiration thank you sir!

[@mikehurst9880]

Oh and happy birthday hope you have a rock star day.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

mikehurst9880, I'm really sorry to hear about your loss. It's brave of you to share how you're feeling. I'm glad the video could provide some inspiration during such a tough time. Remember to take care of yourself as you navigate through this. Thank you for your kind words!

[@krisknowlton5935]

"Can't never did and won't never will". Quote from K Knowlton sometime in the latter part of the 20th century.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

krisknowlton5935, That's a great quote! It really emphasizes the importance of mindset and determination in achieving our goals.

[@krisknowlton5935]

@IDCWoodcraft I coined that phrase after I heard so many people tell me they couldn't do something. I have done so many things I was told I couldn't do. Age may have slowed me down some, but I keep forging ahead.

[@jimpalmer1944]

Garrett, happy birthday and congratulations on your new home and shop. I am sure you will be very happy. I watched with great interest in your inspirational portion and the quotes from each. I decided that I would use my CNC to make a plaque with each one's picture and quote. However, I am unable to locate those quotes. Would you mind sharing.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

jimpalmer1944, Thank you for the birthday wishes and your kind words! I'm glad you found the inspirational portion meaningful. While I won't be sharing the quotes directly, it sounds like a wonderful project for your CNC! Enjoy creating those plaques!

[@garybaumann5637]

So happy for you.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

[@larrygwinn6649]

Hi Garrett, please check with your local game department about feeding wildlife. Some states it's against the law like it is here in Washington

[@IDCWoodcraft]

larrygwinn6649, Thanks for sharing that important tip! It's always good to be informed about local wildlife laws.

[@nancej100]

Yes I would like to have the file, I enjoy your videos and help in them

[@IDCWoodcraft]

nancej100, I'm glad to hear you enjoy the videos! Happy CNCing!

[@frankparsley1913]

What happened to the phantom CNC you had?

[@IDCWoodcraft]

frankparsley1913, The Phantom CNC I had was a great machine, but I decided to upgrade to a different model that better suited my needs for precision and efficiency. It was a tough choice since I really enjoyed working with it!

[@frankparsley1913]

@ so the Phantom is not accurate? I have been looking at several machines. The shop Sabre pro series would be my choice if money was no object. I might go with their RC series but the phantom’s look decent. I noticed their freight charges are steep. I was wanting a welded frame.

[@johnchapman1231]

love your setup .. is this your same girlfriend from last year as she looks different

[@IDCWoodcraft]

johnchapman1231, Thanks for the kind words about my setup!
