As much as I love your complex videos, its nice to see a simple clean build like this. I watched it twice just to see the G being cut out again.

Okay, so about a week ago I was watching some videos on homesteading and your hatchet video kept coming up. I watched it and was torn betwesn two views. i thought "who is this joker who paints his name on everything, has an action figure and does unsafe things?". On the other hand, every video in general and that video in particular is a 15 minute masterclass. I don't create for a living, but I have learned on a basic level how to do every craft aside from working with fabric and architecture. I am telling you that I was blown away. Free-form machining using a bandsaw? Who the hell does that? Anyhow, I've now watched half your channel and almost all of your shows. Having actually watched them closely, I only have 1 safety issue left and it is on a machine that I'm not familiar with. I think that if an honest appraisal of what the actual risks are, your methods are as safe or safer. You are absolutely the real deal. I wanted to go into your line of work - I really did. But I spent my 20s in college and went into the medical field. In any case I cannot express how much I appreciate your ingenuity, your experience, your love of teaching and your warmth as a human being. I am motivated to create again - just got my forge working the other day. If you want some info on building gas forges, let me know - just dont put it in your NYC shop without some serious ventilation.

Provavelmente hoje vocês devem fazer a instalação de outra forma. Mas pra facilitar a instalação de qualquer placa ou fachada de comércio em geral, pode ser utilizado suportes. É só fixar os suportes e em seguida colocar a placa e parafusar a placa no suporte. É bem simples e facilita muito, qualquer coisa é só me chamar. Adoro ver os vídeos de vocês, parabéns.

Hey I had the thought that you'd save a heap on materials over the years if you kerned in the letter space or even just relayed the glyphs to suit your sheet size before printing, sticking on and cutting out. Still makes the same amount of sawdust but also means less bin emptying!

Then putting a stringer in between the legs halfway up would that make a strong bench? I wish I could send a drawing of what I am talking about. I don't think I explained it well at all. Hopefully you know what I mean.
