You guys are like the Penn & Teller of finish carpentry. A) You make magic happen. B) John never speaks.

[@philipbohi983]

Tribulation Prepper - did you read the comments he’s referring to? These WERE NOT questions, they were disrespectful passive-aggressive attacks on his professionalism. Richard spends hours and hours reading and replying to curious homeowners who politely ask questions (he’s here to HELP, and knows that many viewers DON’T know stuff)...and his dedicated followers, many of whom are ALSO pros, answer questions on his behalf. He loves his subscribers, but he despises ignorant disrespect...and yes, he would probably punish Levi (his son) if he ever said some of the bullstuff that was posted. But Levi won’t do that, because he was RAISED RIGHT by a great dad...maybe that’s part of the problem of the fools who are Keyboard Ninjas and Internet A-holds? I’m NOT referring to you, Prepper, and neither was Rich, as I don’t recall ever seeing You post anything mean...I’m speaking about those who do, and there are a bunch of them. To the ones Rich WAS speaking to: ask anything you want, just be polite. Don’t make statements pretending your opinions are facts. If there’s something you don’t agree with, that’s fine...but be nice about it.

[@philipbohi983]

Sorry Prepper, I guess we’ll agree to disagree, which is ok...we’re all entitled to our opinions and interpretations. And it’s ok to express them in a respectful manner, which I feel you and I are doing now (thank you). I can tell you were highly offended by the content, since you posted your comment in many places. One thing you must consider- there are always a few especially nasty or stupid comments you’ll never see - because he filters them and deletes them, so his videos don’t become a battleground of the lowest common denominators in a race to the bottom of a cesspool. He never lets controversy become a catalyst for his videos view count. I can’t speak for Richard, but I do know him and we’ve often laughed about some of the incredibly offensive and outrageous things people say online that they’d probably never say to anyone in person. He’s not afraid to delete the crude stuff, or block the obvious trolls if they’re constantly mean to him or his subscribers legitimate questions and comments. But that’s rare. More often, he ignores it and just chalks it up to poor manners or lack of etiquette...and he turns the other cheek, but that doesn’t imply that he’s not bothered by it. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen him punch back... I’m personally sorry you (or any average Joe Homeowner, like myself) felt his message was directed at you because I don’t believe (only my opinion) that it was not. There is nothing wrong with not knowing something and asking about it. But when someone is trying to help, why bite the hand that’s feeding you? I believe THOSE people were his intended audience for the intro.

[@davefink2326]

Tribulation Prepper triggered much?

[@thomasnoe9987]

This has gone way too far.

[@dentist2112]

The coolest thing about this type of stuff, KZbin, insta, etc...you can leave. You can blame “stupid questions” on being a homeowner, however, if you have zero clue, maybe you shouldn’t be getting your lesson from an experienced carpenter that is putting out nutshell videos online for free to you. Dude spends how many hours recording, editing, commenting, and you guys give him disrespectful comments, constantly

[@butchschwartz1]

Can’t believe people actually thought you just used the toggle bolts to hold that up! They must have never watched you’re videos to know how good of a finish carpenter you are!

[@simonhale1196]

My favourite part of all of this is the bit where he explicitly said he was going to tighten the toggle bolts SO HE COULD SCREW IT INTO THE JOISTS. It's not like he forgot to mention it...

[@KISSMETHOD]

Your website on finish carpentry is the best one on the web. Don't worry about those who simply don't get it. Most of us look forward to the next video. Thanks for all you do.

[@ronharris91]

Dude I feel like you are getting so much better with the videos. You seem so much more confident than your older videos. Honestly, dont even address the negative comments. Its wasted energy for you. Anything you show us is helpful.

[@FinishCarpentryTV]

Thank you!

No fancy camera tricks, no weird jokes and humour. Just attention to detail, good explanations and good work.

Because you are so knowledgable, patient, and calm, with the work you do , there will always be those jealous idiots who can't deal with your kind demeanor and have to insult. Please consider the source and continue with your most inspiring videos from a true craftsman. Thank you!

[@pearlllg]

Richard, I saw those comments yesterday and my first thought was that they were just watching the video without listening to it because you answered all those questions in the video. My advice to them would be to actually listen to the video before commenting. Great job!! I can’t wait to see it finished!

[@stevecastagner3759]

My advice. Don't bother with the dumb comments. You have a lot more positive comments than negative ones. I appreciate all the hard work in producing these videos. Great work! Cheers from Canada.

[@marsproductionstudio7249]

He is not taking it to heart but like a responsible youtuber he is addressing the stupid ones because poor things need at least a little attention

ok, free floating Richard, super cool and fun. The sense of humor is there, this is a fun and interesting man. he is a craftsman, crafty, and an educator. I enjoy watching him work.

[@jamesrobertgrimes]

I loved how you called out the trolls! After watching this channel for a few years I would never question you when it comes to carpentry. I did watch you doing some landscaping maintenance work in one video and that's a whole different story. Love your content, keep up the good work!

[@chefsteven34]

james grimes - Are you referring to the bonfire in his back yard? That looked like a Marine’s solution to yard work. We could tend to a little burn pile all day, or we could add enough accelerant, to turn it to ash in 5 minutes. Just my humble opinion.

[@jamesrobertgrimes]

@@chefsteven34 no, when he got the new battery powered stuff after buying the house. I've been doing landscaping work for the last 11 years so I'm rather particular, similar to Richard with his finish carpentry.

[@ArtisanTony]

I have been on youtube for over 13 years now and at some point you have to ignore the comments. I have been in the construction business for 40 years and know that if you can hang from them they will support 1x8's and crown mold :) Most people on youtube that comment haven't driven a nail in their lifetime. :) Keep up the good work!

[@christophercrawford2736]

I guess people weren’t paying attention to the last video. He clearly stated that he was using the toggle bolts to hold it temporarily and then was screwing it into the joist and that’s why he left the bottom board off. And we even watched him screw it all into the joists after tightening up the toggle bolts.

[@chrisdzierzko6885]

Richard. I like your videos and am watching them even though I have 17 years of experience myself because one can always learn something. So please don't just dismiss all criticism. There are much simplier and better ways of doing coffered ceilings. Keep up the good work. I'm absolutely not a hater. Thanks.

Your a great guy for sharing your craft. Always look forward to the next video!

[@murphymmc]

Saw your video when you released it and was going to commend you on the toggle bolt technique, got sidetracked and didn't but will now. Great idea to get that little extra fudge factor for precision placement plus the aid in holding the piece up. I'm waiting for you to acquire some staging (scaffolding) to use inside on these full ceiling projects. Way more comfortable than moving ladders around and working in short reaches. The time and convenience will out way the setup/tear down time. Then again, I've been in the building game for longer than you've been on the planet and my knees appreciate not going up and down. Love seeing the quality and integrity you bring to the trade.

[@Dojayou]

Love your videos. Straight on and humble. Keep going.

[@Chumperdink]

Awesome look with the tongue and groove backing! I don't know what's more exciting in the video, the coffered design or the upgraded design on the crown stops! Whoever Glenn is who makes them definitely deserves a beer just for listening to his customers! And of course you deserve a brew for sharing your tricks of the trade. Keep up the videos much appreciated!
