Watching you slide the biscuit in the slot was a real productive lesson for me. Most of the time I settled for some toe-nailed solution and wished there was a better way. Thanks for sharing.

love your content buddy, I am a carpenter and I love watching carpentry content. A lot of creators on youtube are pretentious, aiming at beginners, or just not that skilled. I have 25 years of experience and your still showing me things that are changing the way I work. I stole your Packout dolly/truck/ramp idea for my van and I love it.. Thanks Spencer. Really I mean that..

Hey Spencer Lewis - been watching off and on for a few years - I no longer swing a hammer very often but love seeing the methods/philosophy/conscientious approach/etc. Grew up a bit southwest of your place. Anyway just occurred to me whilst watching this series - do you give the owners a thumb drive with all your material shot on site? Or at least the final cuts. Seems they could be invaluable to someone 50 years from now. I know when I was working on 100 year old houses it would have been wonderful to have a collection of process photos/videos. Great material as always. You are mentoring and entertaining many 1000's and we thank you for it.

Fantastic work as always. I have wondered as a one man show is there much pressure on you to get the job done quickly? You obviously have great relationships with your builders and project managers but typically with a crew of 4 guys a job might take a week while one man working efficiently say 3 weeks. Are other trades working around you, the painters must waiting to come in and there's obviously lots of $$$ sitting there waiting for next progress payment??

I consider myself a decent carpenter until I watch a new video from Spencer, then I just feel like a hack. Spencer's work is as good as it gets and I could never expect to get to that point, atleast in the area I live and work. Ive been working in Florida for 20 years and never met a finish carpenter as good as Spencer. When I try to show the older guys some of the techniques Spence uses they dont listen because it would show them they are hacks and break ego's
