I Surprised A Subscriber with their Dream Workshop

[@saltymedic3713]

Please plan a 6 month or 1 year follow-up on Luke. I'd love to see how much this has helped him

[@jphanks]

This!

[@CeeJayThe13th]

Yeah I'd like to see that too

[@builditwithbutter]

Yep

[@karsonbrown3260]

Yes

[@Ten10Woodworx]

Luke is a local guy, I met him a couple years ago and there is no one more deserving this than him. Congrats Man!

[@MrBrian-Columbus]

Malecki you magnificent bastard. This is amazing. You f'n nailed it.

[@mistyramsey1840]

"Touch your stuff!!" That needs to go on a T-shirt 😂😂😂 Nicely done sir, nothing makes me happier than seeing people help other people. It happens too rarely with all we have. When the goal is to allow the rising tide to lift all ships, amazing things are created ❤❤❤

[@oldschooltunervw]

Love this, shout out to the awesome wife for nominating him.

[@poppagswoodshop3847]

Straight up respect for you John. Total act of kindness and giving back to a well deserving member of your community. Great video!

[@1pcfred]

Yeah this is better than the KZbin videos where some creators destroy expensive items. This act will affect this individual for the rest of their life.

[@butchdirodrico2330]

John ! You are now my new HERO !! I think it’s an excellent gesture to give this Man His Workshop Dream !! You’re a GOOD MAN JOHN MALECKI !! Most people are all talk !! You my Friend put Action to your words!! I’ll be watching your cast with new eyes !!!!

[@TheDeplorableNeanderthal]

This was really nice of you to do for this guy. He seems like a regular hard working dude and family man. And those don’t the credit they deserve in this day and age. Well done.

[@JustinTime101]

The kids freaking out in the background is absolutely adorable, they must watch the channel with their dad. :)

[@ravenheart1439]

Thats pure gold John...I mean, that's life changing stuff right there, you got a special spot in heaven for this deed.. super happy for this guy, it's how dreams come true...

[@01epoch74ny]

John: "Do you know why I'm here?" Stranger he just met: "No" John: "Maybe you should go get your wife" Not how I woulda done it, but I'm also not 6' 2" and an absolute chad.

[@sophwitchproject]

😂

[@marquisethomas5611]

He used to play for the steelers. He 100% said that line like that on purpose 😂

[@pb77]

That dude was literally in shock the entire time! You guys picked a good winner. The nice, selfless guy.

[@FixitFred]

Best John Malecki episode yet. So good

[@1pcfred]

Now this put me in the Christmas spirit.

[@OakHillMillworks]

Best video of yours, John! I’m so proud to know you! Luke is a great guy and he has been so supportive of the online maker community. He is so deserving. Good job guys!

[@michaelhilbers2306]

I saw a comment talking about how stiff Luke was and how he didn't seem excited. Imagine someone you look up to and watch on TV everyday showing up at your house and giving you a ton of stuff that costs quite a bit of money. Luke is a really humble person who has worked for everything he has and is not used to people giving. This was an absolutely beautiful video and I already know this is going to turn Luke into that fun grandpa that builds toys for his grandkids (when the time comes.) excellent video John.

[@adamarmstrong804]

This has to be the coolest thing I have seen on the channel!! Keep up the good work Sir.

[@loganwall5555]

John you are an awesome person sir! Hats off to you! This is a very heart warming video.

[@willwren3231]

Incredible. I barely ever like/dislike YT videos and never comment. But I had to leave a comment on this. Heartwarming and emotional at times. Such an incredible gesture . John, you are such a great woodworker and good all-round guy. If you're ever in the UK, I've got a single-car garage that could do with similar treatment, it'll be half the price!!

[@suntzu6122]

God bless you john. What an amazing idea! Dream come true for this guy.

[@Buzzsaw-Creations]

John Maleki...you're a good man. ❤

[@andreagathwright7267]

This has to be one of my favorite videos. His heart was so happy you all did this for him ❤

[@jpmerlo4094]

I love it Malecki!! I love giving to others! Making dreams come true. I get choked up . SUPER COOL!! I agree on a follow up. Love your channel.

[@BreadbakeryRS]

i've been following John for 7 years.. i've seen every video and i really love those.. But this one is so special.. Really heartwarming.. Thanks John.. You're a legend. Greets from Belgium

[@Swiftbeatz46]

Luke is absolutely deserving of every bit of this! Merry Christmas!

[@BillMallin]

John and team, excellent job! You have motivated me to clean my shop. Ain’t no way I’m doing it today, but you did inspire me. Great job, fellas!

[@jasonbrisini3387]

We need more of this in the world! John and the crew certainly picked the right people for the dream workshop. Absolutely fantastic video and that is some lifechanging stuff for Luke.

[@CorbyQ]

Another banger Mr Malecki. You are an amazing person with such a big heart. Congrats Luke, enjoy

[@Giant_Guitars]

Looks really well deserved! The shop before was good and functional, I feel like he was a bit embarrassed about the mess but it's nothing compared to most of our messes, don't look in my garage! 😅

[@vono1919]

What a great thing to do.John you are awesome

[@steveroques3896]

John this is awesome this is one of the reasons I follow your channel not only for great advice but also it gives people the opportunity to take on those projects they always wanted to do with confidence. You change this man’s life forever. Thank you

[@sethdavidson4463]

You're awesome, man. I seriously love the giveback to your supporters.

[@ezaboleme]

I have never commented on a video, but I watched every your video. I will say just God bless you John Malecki greetings from Serbia.

[@richardcooper]

Truely heart-warming, could not have gone to a better man :) 10/10

[@Casual-84]

This was a great . Really enjoyed the show. Merry Christmas.

[@MapleRidgeWoodworks]

One of the coolest things I could ever imagine! Great job!!!

[@Otlwoodworks]

Love it brother! Rock on !

[@winyoung1206]

Awesome to hear John! That’s a great thing congratulations Luke, lucky guy!! He’s just the next town over I’m 15 minutes from Louisville in Ohio!!

[@sealdoggydog]

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy 👍

[@65MK]

What an awesome thing you did for Luke and his family! And a great video! I’m going to have to plan a trip to Ohio just to visit that hardware store.😮. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@TK-VIBIN]

this has got to be one of the best christmas video ever you're so Humble and he is so blessed with your kindness Congrats Luke!

[@kevvinbrown7353]

Almost brought tears to my eyes! Good stuff John!

[@jasanders-6886]

This is why I watch your channel. You recognize hard working people in our country. Luke and his family are examples of why America is awesome and great. I loved this video! Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@MegaJwarr]

Watching you over all of your channels you do so many things! Thank you for making this man’s day it looks like it meant a lot to him. Your team put together something great in those video. If you ever need to make content in Northern Alberta Canada I have a place for you to stay.

[@feron450]

That’s freaking awesome man. I’m so happy for Luke and his family. You’re a very good person John god bless you and your crew and Luke and his family. It seems like he was very deserving of it and I’m glad it’s happening for him

[@DanielLopez-sz1lx]

Awesome! I love watching your vids but mad respect to you all for helping another fellow woodworker. For as Long as you guys keep on doing what you doing you got to subscriber for life.

[@Veuday]

one of the best christmas video. Thanks John and the Malecki's team. Love from France

[@johnsage1020]

John your an awesome person. Thanks for the great video and giving back. Your videos bring great laughter and amazing ideas

[@gutsngorrrr]

This is one if my favourite videos I've seen in a while. It couldn't if happened to a nicer person

[@ljgault]

John, you and your team are amazing.

[@kevinschroeder3889]

Malecki you magnificent bastard. Someone else said it, but it needed to be repeated. A follow up video definitely needs to be done. Congratulations Luke! Sorry to put the pressure on you, but we expect great things from you now. Malecki, I have a newfound respect for you. Way to go my friend.

[@michaelschriner2691]

This is awesome... you rock John!!!

[@ophszn]

go on john what a great deed for you to do, luke earnt that!!

[@HeidiBuss-pd8cw]

I like how Luke somewhat resembles John. Do all men in their 40's look alike? Great content.

[@TheRivieraKid]

John is only 36

[@MichaelWells-j1t]

It’s a Midwest thing… like the second fridge in the garage.

[@mohamedalkobadi7784]

Amazing video guys! love it how he was smiling through the whole video while seeing his new shop.

[@tommanley388]

John and team, I have enjoyed your videos ever since I found your channel. But now I have a new respect for all of you for what you did for this gentleman. I hope you all have continued success in your futures.

[@laukc7085]

Ahhhh, the joys of woodworking in the north. It's 5 below zero at the moment, and I've got Christmas presents to finish in the garage today. Great video. He seems very deserving of all that. Make sure you film more videos at that hardware store.

[@gqsolutionsllc3163]

You guys are the best because you guys help people build their dreams.Thank you and your guys for the help, you have given to a great wood worker.

[@mariomicallef8266]

John, for you to do that for someone you don't know is truly wonderful. You are a SAINT in my book. 😇😇😇

[@OsoGrande5150AZ]

I'm not crying. You're crying! You really made that man's life, better. Way to go team Malecki!

[@g2minimumwagerskitchen]

You guys are awesome! That is some collaboration on a time crunch!

[@nicholasmanovich4330]

Very kind gesture John and the boys. Glad it went to someone so close to home ! Congrats Luke, may the woodworking force be with you.

[@markhopkins7204]

Thanks for sharing, John. Paying forward in such a big and generous way. Renewed hope was also achieved my friend!

[@Ped_mcg87]

that was so awesome m8 he deserved it so much ❤❤

[@GibClark]

Awesomeness 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@CrossCutCreations]

This is awesome! I love exploring Hartville Hardware as I'm about 30 minutes north of there. Those are awesome new tools!

[@halsti99]

thats lovely! also good to see that it apperantly went to a good dude!

[@SimplyNiquaa1]

This was so awesome of you to do for him

[@ryangrissom3532]

John you and especially your team are awesome and talk about a deserving guy and what a wife to set him up like that!

[@taylorchapman5313]

Get this man some Shop Shades!! Lol On a more serious notes, this is an amazing video and great things are being done. Well deserved!

[@unknowncaveman]

The genuine excitement in Lukes eyes, it was like watching a kid in a candystore. Love how flabbergasted Luke got every time you showed him a new tool that was for his shop.

[@williambarger8043]

I know with all the new tools Luke will keep up the good work for the Community. I actually look forward to Saturdays knowing there is a new video coming from John and the gang.

[@michaelriggs9160]

lol why didn't you just slide the crate down the truck ramp? Seriously though, what a blessing. Awesome gift John!!!

[@boydstongrove]

Great video. It's this kind of connection to viewers that separates KZbinrs from other kinds of content.

[@nickprice7752]

I honestly couldn’t imagine a better person for such a gift. This dude really seems like a positive influence to everyone who knows him.. I have a new level of respect for you and your crew John, you guys are awesome man.

[@randywright7933]

so awesome guys, congrats Luke quite the great set up. enjoy

[@grumpwerx]

Absolutely Awesome!

[@kaitlynntyo9047]

Thats awesome! Congrats Luke!

[@jimmymyers9245]

Very cool !!!

[@NEConforti]

That's amazing. You changed bros life no doubt.

[@cryptkeeper]

Ahhh Hartville, we used to go there on the weekend with my parents, good memories

[@SamGreenMaker]

Well done gentleman, How long did we talk about doing this. so stoked to see it happen!

[@kieronphillips1259]

What an amazing thing to do for someone. Great video.

[@triciaramirez1886]

John, you and your team have me in tears! Your gift was awesome! Your choice of Luke was phenomenal! Your heart is so big. Every one of your videos are awesome, this one just proved it! Keep on doing exactly what you do! ❤️⚓️❤️

[@joelcampbell8161]

Great video! I grew up in Canton, my dad was an amateur woodworker and all around DIYer. I remember many Saturdays driving past a half-dozen hardware stores on the way to Hartville Hardware. That place has been a woodworking Mecca for decades.

[@INCREDIBULHULK]

beautiful act of yours giving products to people who cannot afford very heart warming act 🥰

[@Gh33ks]

Perfect Video for the holidays! John you are a Saint!

[@shanetapp]

Seriously tho... I can only imagine the hapiness going through Luke during this all. This is why I will always love watching this channel... I know there's a business behind the video, but the fact that John includes making people happy in his videos says a ton. I've always wanted (still do) to start building things, and learned how to run cnc and laser cutters and even tried to start my own business. Sad part was I got laid off 10 months ago and just haven't recovered... one of these days I'll start making myself and living my dream. Until then, I'll enjoy seeing how awesome John is and how happy the people around him are.... Well played to John and his team!

[@Midgaardsormen]

Fucking hell John, that face he made when you told him, made me feel my feelz ❤ Merry X-mad everyone

[@RealJMAC]

Lets go. Perfect way to start the holidays

[@natelaszewski0410]

I love all of your videos, however this was one of my top 5 favorites. You and your teams generosity and care for this gentleman was absolutely awesome. Great work by all of you.

[@latherookie]

I already have the" Dream Shop" wish I could learn how to organize and move around! Thereis no floor space. John please do a video on how to organize and keep it clean!!!!!!!

[@1Grumpymonk]

Luke seems awesome. Shopping around for a gift to give someone is nice. But putting your time in, crafting a gift for someone in your shop is something special. Y'all gave the right dude his dream shop 🤘

[@thebrelon]

Hey John! You've got an open invitation to come to my place, any time, unannounced, to remodel my shop.....😂😂😂😂😂 You did great and it's a truly deserved gift to a happy family!

[@mattdayphoto]

Seems like it couldn’t have gone to a better dude. This was awesome to watch. ❤

[@patrickfrooney]

John, I seldom comment on videos, but thoroughly enjoy watching your content. Simply put, this is awesome, and you’re a stand up guy for doing this. We need more generosity and good will like this in the world. Thanks and keep up the great work. We’ll all be watching and can’t wait to see what you do next.

[@mikehenninger5279]

You need to check out Brookside Lumber in Bethel Park!

[@rw7532]

Seems like a very deserving man who will make very good use of the gifts. . You did a good thing John.

[@NickJamesnbjames]

Best video you've done all year. This dude seems like best version of a dad. Mad respect for Luke and all he does.

[@kevincraftOH]

I can’t believe I see a KZbinr in my hometown, that’s the store. I grew up, going to as a kid for everything.

[@lorigonzalez1196]

Here’s what I liked - you didn’t trash all his existing stuff and create some kind of monument / showroom workshop. Having his FIL toolbox integrated made me tear up a little - my dad bought me a Craftsman toolbox and rolling cabinet way back in the day when we bought our current house and I will never part with that. The parts of my workshop that I have set up so far replicate my dad’s. The best gift I ever received was my dad’s time and him teaching me how things work and how to repair instead of replace. Here’s to all the dads (and moms) who do that for their families and friends! And how can we support Luke and the lacrosse league? My kids played ice hockey so I know how expensive sports can be and Luke mentioned they run the program.
