Incredible Woodworker and His Workshop

[@LennardHartman]

This is my dream. A nice property, a shop next to my house and a loving family to come home to

[@davyrockxx1563]

you and me alike !

[@SithSereyPheap1]

May all your dreams come true Hartman.Lord ! He ain't askin for much.Give it to him....;)))))

[@sethcormier7768]

LordSear1982 This is true, I live in Ct, its impossible to find anything for a reasonable price. I would love to live out in the country.

[@tigertruckerman]

Lennard Hartman and mine i got a wife who dont speak to me kids think im hopeless and no money to get a house like this ever life truly sucks some people so lucky

[@MaghoxFr]

Mine too. But property are prohibitively expensive and good girls are extinct.

[@gradeez]

I've quit my good-paying job as an engineer and started doing woodworking which I do in the shop at the back of my house. I have never been happier!

[@Sy2023hk]

I'd like to do the same

[@giusepperesponte8077]

Good on you for foregoing comfort and security to do what you love. At least I assume you love it if you left a good job for it. Hopefully you can make money off of woodworking before you run out of money. Hope it works out for you.

[@domepiece11]

I feel like every engineer wishes they had just went to trade school.

[@marcinspace]

good on ya man! I think of getting back into it full time my self

[@manlyhallresearch9785]

Good for you!

[@bunsoft2]

Simply wonderful.

I’m moving my shop into a 12’ x 24’ shed… it’s kinda small, but way more space than I’m used too. I just wanted to tell you that I enjoyed your video. You sir, are living my dream. That’s a beautiful home/land/shop you have there. I’m 58 and retired due to health reasons. They recently found six tumors on my liver and both kidneys. I hope to have about 5 years left, and plan on living out the rest of my days in my shop. It is, my happy place… I love it so much. I hope this msg finds you in good health. I just wanted to say “hi”. Take care sir. 🤝🏻

[@thomass7771]

I always said it was a shame they removed woodshop, welding, and mechanics shop from schools. Imagine how many more kids could be introduced to the world of crafting or how many wouldn't be craftsman today if they didnt off them back In the day. It's sad they remove the fun parts of school and just teach to pass a test

[@amarug]

yes! .... instead of ending in some cubicle garbage undefined "communications" job in the corporate soul sucking bullshit

[@lucspook]

they ended wood shop in my school the year i left, i loved it much i became a joiner. So i think its sad that kids now would rather play computer games than make something to be proud of

Great story, I’m retired after being a welder, fabricator and machinist for 36 years and now spend most of my days woodworking which has always been a passionate hobby of mine for as long as I can remember. It’s great to see someone who loves what they do. There’s something extra special about working with and building with wood!

[@jumperstartful]

When I retired I bounced around looking for something to do. I recalled that the most fun I had in school was wood shop, in the 7th grade. i realized that college and I weren't made for each other. But I have no sense of design. I made a pool cue and fell in love with birds eye maple. I was very fortunate to find a small house on twenty acres in the mountains that i could afford. Funny how life works.
