Dumb Guy Accidentally Made A Bestseller (Free Plan)

[@Drwal_1984]

Hi, it's gona be a longer one... but it's my first comment so be patient with me :) and I'll still try to make it short. Maybe You are "the world's worst milionair in trainig"... but, the content you make, is a different univers, that has influenced me. Not only in the truth about the amount of drinking coffee... since I started, I'm brewing my coffee in 4 different ways... not at onec... does'nt mastter... I like coffee... but I like wood. But far more important was the video "New Life" posted 4 month's ago...it made me realize a lot of things. For most I love my kid's and wife... but in my 39 years of life, I never did something for me, or realised any of my goals. It would be a long story, but simply to put it, belive, me... as a healing workaholic, I only made what was expected of me. And in the last Year, Mark and Your channel made my heart work a bit different, it gave me some lil amount of dopamine... a belife I cane do something I like. And it's hard... I mean, I do it only at night's in my garage, where the temperature is slightly higher the that outside, and haveing a stray cat-companion. But I like it. Since the 3 months I started I made maybe 3 small project's. But they are my scale of succes, and a proof I finaly can creat something with my own hand's, and not hear the evel whisper in the back of my head: "... still you owe it to..."... So maybe now, since the crisys continues, and my worke place is in danger, I'll try to learn as much as possible to learn the idea of "joining peaces of wood to other peaces of wood"... and create. This video and Your thout's gave me the power and will to go in my shops today - after a week's break - and get motivated. And I'll start by organizeing my 16m2 meters of workaspace and finaly build my workbench.. gonna make pictures and record it... dont know if I ever post it enywere or use it... but I'll try and learn... hope to feel some more dopamine in the future.. Thank You Jesper and wish You all the best in the started 2024. Hope my 40th year on this planet will allowe me to be a woodworker.

[@JesperMakes]

Hey, thanks for taking the time for such a heartfelt comment. It's amazing to hear how my channel and, of course, coffee, have positively impacted you. Keep up the woodworking, especially in those late-night garage sessions. Your projects are your success stories, and each piece is a step towards fulfilling your dreams. Keep brewing both coffee and creativity! ☕🛠️

[@MikeJones-jj7pf]

Nicely said! You too seem to be 'on the level' in terms of being and recognizing the magnificence that resides in humans. I can honestly say that I too have been moved by both these inspirational and capable men and am for the first time in a LONG time excited about what my future can potentially look like in terms of finding my own 'niche' in this beautiful world called woodworking! I've just recently lost my job and have been in a bit of a funk due to lack of purpose and direction at the ripe old age of 43. I can't possibly describe the feeling I've got right now thanks to Jesper, Mark and yourself. Thanks for sharing the kind words and genuine sentiments. Your post was the proverbial icing on the cake this past few hours/series of videos was for me! And thank you Jesper for your generosity in sharing your knowledge with the rest of us! I can't wait to go find some more pallets tomorrow!! 😊 🙏🏽✌🏽

Greed... it flourishes everywhere. A guy gets called dumb because he freely gives away his designs, something we need more of in this world, NOT the opposite.

[@JesperMakes]

Absolutely right. Sharing freely is about passion, not greed. It's great to have more open sharing in the world.

[@khanhphaminh1175]

nah. Sharing freely might be good at first, but when people gradually get used to receiving it for free, they'll get addict and want more. Sharing is good, but there should be a limit, to make people move on their own.

[@Sindarielle]

This is the first video I have ever seen of your channel and I was thinking, oh silly man makes a giant pine cone. I was wrong, silly man make a beautiful light that I love and now I want that laser cutter when I don’t even know what I’m doing. I’ll go back to my crochet videos now but seriously, you are very talented. Thank you for brightening my day, with ❤ from Texas.

[@ggad1899]

If you have a Dremel type tool, you can use a router tip to cut things out the way these CNC and box laser cutters do. Takes longer, your hand gets shaky from the vibration. And, the level of satisfaction from making it by hand is off the charts. Easier than crochet, especially easier than crocheted i-cord and Tunisian crochet. You got this! 👍

[@user-ml8dm9fz6l]

You could just ask him to cut out the pieces for you and you assemble it according to this video

[@Sindarielle]

Jesper, how can I buy your pinecone and pay for shipment?

[@nineteenfortyeight]

Look for a fablab in your area

[@barbaraschmitt-miller4334]

Many libraries have Maker Spaces where you can learn to use 3d printers, sewing machines, and some even have these laser cutters. I work at a school, so have access to a laser cutter there, as well (as long as I provide the materials). Perhaps there is some sort of club or other maker space in your area?

[@MOAJackson-u9f]

Jesper, you and Mark inspired me to try! Over the summer of 2023, I made a pallet wood veneer storage table! It’s not perfect and I learned a ton! I’m planning 2 projects this summer! Thank you and Mark both for Just Getting Me Started! 🤟🤟🤟

So awesome you got started! Your table sounds great.

[@Jeebustherisen]

My wife sent me this video and asked me to watch it. I've been having some...issues in my current career, something I've been doing for most of my life. It's stopped being my passion and it's becoming a drain. I get why she sent me this. I hear her. And I hear you, Jesper. Thank you.

[@JesperMakes]

I'm truly moved by your message. It's never easy to confront feelings of dissatisfaction in one's career. Remember, it's never too late to pursue a path that reignites your passion. Your wife's support is precious, and I'm glad my video could play a part in your reflection. Wishing you all the best as you navigate this transition.

[@Bithead]

That's not just great advice for woodworkers, it's great advice for any maker. Another possibility to keep in mind is to take a look if you have a local makerspace near you and use their stuff for your projects.

[@JesperMakes]

Absolutely, that's solid advice for all makers. Local makerspaces are great resources for trying out different tools and techniques.

[@blobbocus4201]

Thanks to you and Mark I have started my journey as well. My first project was a failure, but I have learned from it. Will be starting my next project soon.

Hi jasper, im a 21 year old guy from sweden. Just found your channel today and i love it haha. I have close to zero knowledge when it comes to woodworking but i have been obsessed with it for a while. I live in a apartment in the city so its kinda hard to play around with it, but my ambition is to have a place kinda like yours in the future. I just watched your newest video where you used alot of woodpalets and its very comforting to see that you can make so much with so little. Respect to you!

[@JesperMakes]

Hej! Thanks for the love from Sweden! It's awesome to hear from someone at the beginning of their woodworking journey. Don’t worry about starting small; even a small balcony or corner can be turned into a workshop with a bit of creativity. Keep dreaming big, and thanks for subscribing!

[@TheBowbow77]

Hey Jesper, Thank you so much for the time you take to put these awesome videos and stories together, they are not only entertaining but inspiring! Thank you so much!

Hey, thanks for the kind words! It's fantastic to hear that the videos are both entertaining and inspiring. That's what it's all about!

[@AndrewSzeto]

you're such an incredible story teller my friend! had me hooked the whole way! keep crushing and thanks for the shout out! loved the final product!!!

[@JesperMakes]

Thanks man! So stoked for the contributions for the new "you know which" video!

[@pshadyyx]

I started watching and I was like "Eh, I already saw this one, why is it on my list again" and then I realized that I only saw the first 4 minutes of it last year! So you listened to us and finished it! And finished the lamp! It turned out perfect! Thank you for giving me laughs and smiles every time I see any of your videos. Your humor is very close to my heart and warming! I wish you made the content a little more often! But I know myself how tedious it is. I am woodworking myself (for our house and friends, as a hobby in my tiny garage) and so far I have already made dozens of projects and filmed three, but haven't published a single video. Simply no time for editing 🤷‍♂️

[@JesperMakes]

I'm glad to hear you came back to finish watching! It's always great to bring laughs and smiles to viewers. I understand the challenge of editing and publishing content - it's a big task, especially with woodworking as a hobby. Keep at it, and who knows, maybe one day you'll share your projects with the world too!

[@lolwhatdoitypehere]

Jesper, I've been watching your videos for a little while now and I have to say you and @dainermade have inspired me so much. Recently discovered I love working with wood and I just cleaned out my shed and built up my own tiny little workshop. Starting with projects around that yard that seem achievable with the hope of building 1 sellable item this year. Thank you for being both entertaining and informative. Keep sending me more motivation!!

[@JesperMakes]

That's fantastic to hear! Cleaning out your shed to build your own workshop is a big step. Starting with projects around the yard is a great way to begin. Thrilled to be part of your inspiration, and remember, one sellable item is just the beginning of your woodworking journey!

[@illugi56]

What inspires me the most is that you are probably not further away than a hours drive from where I am sitting right now. You have the same access to the tools/equipment as I have, same probable opportunities. You are a true inspiration to makers. Also not the "worst millionaire in training" you have as I write this = 201K subscribers just over 1/5th of a million and that is significant!! Unless if you are talking about monetary million!!! I guess it is a race... and I am rooting for you

[@JesperMakes]

That's incredibly motivating to hear, especially knowing we're so close by! It's all about using what we have and making the most of it. Thanks for the support, and yes, it's a race of sorts, but one where we all win by creating and sharing.

[@countrycraftscustomwoodworking]

Loved this video. You're such a down to earth kinda guy with the perfect attitude toward woodworking.

[@timstark3312]

Yes, the lamp is super-cool, for sure, but have I told you lately how much I love that dog-holed workbench?! Masterpiece. I like your version of Dainer's "just get started," and I'm definitely going to take to heart your "be dumb (and stubborn)" exhortation. Those two traits come fairly naturally to me! I've had a super-cheap cnc (non-laser) new in its box for a few years now (no space to set it up), and I'm hoping to make it part of my getting-better-with-what-I've-got goals for this year. Cheers, as always, to ya!

Hi Cameron, thanks for the encouraging comment here, I'll just shoot you a DM with a few thoughts!

[@dmunoz1943]

COOL!!! Love the Lamp!!! I used to build and design furniture/equipment for severely disabled kids, only because what they sold in catalogs were so expensive, and we’d look at some of the things and say, we could do that. I worked in a school district and budgets were always tight for certain programs. We didn’t make anything fancy, and used regular plywood for a time, after we’d gotten a little better at some of the projects we undertook, we moved up to birch. It was always fun creating, and doing things that helped kids with their challenges. And glad to say, never sawed off a finger, though I did staple my thumb. Ouch.

[@JesperMakes]

Really great to hear about this work!

[@davidgutting4317]

I’ve been a lighting designer for 30 years, I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve been asked to copy a Poulsen artichoke fixture. Making one for yourself will probably go unnoticed by the Louis Poulsen foundation, selling them for a while might work out for you too. Be prepared for the cease and desist letter. Be prepared for the copyright lawsuit. It’s not a matter of “if” it’s a matter of “when” they go after you.

[@JesperMakes]

David, thank you for sharing your experience and advice. It's important to be aware of intellectual property and copyright issues, especially in creative fields. I appreciate the heads up! This design, however, is no way near the Artichoke, so I'm not worried.

[@LorraineHatrix]

Copyright is just for words, songs, etc. To own the rights to design you need to be granted a patent design application by the Patent office. To get a patent design one must be the very first person to create that design. I hardly think that a cone shape would qualify for a grant. done too many times. Good luck Jesper, we all love you. You sir are not dumb ❤Love from Australia.

this wood lamp is no Poulsen artichoke copy - not all organic inspiration lamps are clones

@@LorraineHatrix I tried patenting some ideas I had a few years back now, and they don't really give patents for that anymore in Canada anyways. they do however build a portfolio and submit to ( In Canada 120.000 companies.) wood working companies.

[@JesperMakes]

Thanks! Starting somewhere and learning on the go is key. The pinecone design is one of my favorites too. Glad you dig the narration!

While I was kid, I was impressed by the woodwork I would see in the DIY monthly magazine my father was buying. I always wanted to do something like that, but my father strangely enough wouldn't allow me to use his tools, and later on my life simply went in totally different way. But well, life is sometimes quite strange, and after almost forty years, I've met a guy who has a kind of small workshop which he has abandoned, with all kinds of different projects he started and never finished. I saw that as a kind of opportunity to finally realize that childhood dream I had, to build things on my own, and also to motivate my new friend to get back on track with work. And so, we've agreed to start with some smaller projects and see where will it lead us. Channels like yours are inspiring me to go into that direction. Thank you!

[@JesperMakes]

Very inspiring to read stories like yours mate. Best of luck with it.

Hi Jasper and greetings again from the 🇬🇧 This is a great video! Honesty, sincerly from the heart, no frills and telling it how it is. Your positive attitude is infectious, never lose that 🙂 Oh and the light, looks amazing👌 Looking forward to what you have to offer in 2024. Take care and keep these videos coming!

[@JesperMakes]

Hi there! Greetings back to the UK! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and found my approach honest and sincere. It's great to hear my positive attitude is infectious. Thanks for looking forward to my 2024 offerings. More to come!

[@BuiltByChris]

Always makes my day, when a video from Jesper Makes pops up. Both you and Mark always give great advice, and the best advice is "Just Start". Personally, I don't think your first million is that far away. Keep at it, Jesper. 🇦🇺🇩🇰👍☕

[@JesperMakes]

Chris, thanks for the encouragement! "Just Start" is indeed the best advice. Here's to reaching new milestones, one step at a time. 🇦🇺🇩🇰👍☕

Awesome Video and Awesome lamp. Thanks for supporting open source.

[@JesperMakes]

Thanks! Supporting open source is important to me - it's all about sharing knowledge and creativity. Glad you liked the video and the lamp!

[@loopinnerthe]

Jesper... The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. If a laser doesn't point straight down at the work piece then there is a danger of a reflection into the shop and all kind of James Bond private parts jeopardy. Laser cut things have this one annoying feature that they have black crisp right angled edges and have a flat 2D feel. The laser cutter that can make an angled cut would be a game changer and add a way to maybe chemically remove the charring and then the results would be much more unique and interesting... but that is one for your sponsors to think about... Your videos and stories are the best, my heart leaps when I see a new one. The condensation down to "find your piece of wood" is beautiful and insightful and inspiring. Thank you as always Jesper for what you do.

[@JesperMakes]

Thanks for your insightful thoughts on laser cutting and the kind words about my videos. Finding your 'piece of wood' is indeed a metaphor for life. Appreciate your support!

Yet another great video. Very inspiring! You’re one of the channels which made me take the plunge and start making KZbin videos. It’s been fun and growing slowly. Lots of content to come, maybe one day I’ll catch up with you Jesper! 😂

[@JesperMakes]

Hey Captain, that's fantastic to hear! Starting your own KZbin journey is as exciting as crafting a new piece in the workshop. Keep up the great work, and who knows, you might overtake me one day. And remember, a good project always starts with a good cup of coffee! ☕😄

Over the last few weeks, I've been getting 2nd (and 3rd) hand tools from sales, and im also collecting pallets and natural wood.

Thanks to you for all the inspiration 😊
