Absolutely awesome! That must have taken a few gallons of glue and a $#!+ ton of hours! Impressive!!!!!!

[@xMadTurtlex]

that money shot though :P

[@soundwave4prez]

Just wondering. I wanted to start up a youtuber wood working collection. How much would you charge for something small like a easily made puzzle box. Or like a soundwave in cassette player form

[@icecastles1432]

Oh My God!! **** He's Nawked!

Господин блогер, у вас есть разрешение использовать в ролике музыку Русского композитора Чайковского?

[@millertravisd]

This is still my favorite build on YT. I don't understand why it never got more views!? Maybe people just don't get segmented turning and how epic this is.

[@gabrielleangelica1977]

I have tears 😭 in my eyes because this is so beautiful!

[@JohnHeisz]

Never halfway with you, is it? It's always FULL ON!!! Impressive sequence beginning at 1:06 with that combined stop motion and live action that must have taken a while to do.

[@Wordsnwood]

hours and hours and hours.... That was a huge project, Paul. Wow.

[@downhilldom84]

The master of repeating processes... whether your life is super boring or your patience is endless. Superb! :) Thanks for sharing this project. Well done.

[@CarolinaShoeCompany]

Paul you seem to outdo yourself every time. Beautiful work!

[@spyderpntbll34]

Sir your goofiness and antics are exactly what a KZbin channel needs, thanks for the laughs cant wait to watch the rest of your videos

[@krtwood]

I'm so glad that there is someone out there who is more of a glutton for punishment that I am. It's a real public service you are providing here for all the people slightly less damaged than you. Even though you put the wrong boots on it.

[@evanv354]

just wanna say i love ur videos a lot

[@evanv354]

they’re so funny 😂

[@thecarterkent6571]

pure talent. With wood work and comedic work.

And video editing!

Man, you are an artist! Absolutely incredible!

[@SouthernStyleDIY]

This is absolutely insane!!! Such a magical adventure through the various layers of the candy cane forest and through the swirly-twirly gum drops! Awesome as always!

[@joewarec2075]

What a vid to end the year! Banger! Those rulers and squares are soooo cool too!

[@toddwright11]

this is beautiful... even watching you build this, I am still amazed how you take blocks of wood and make something this beautiful

[@RalphSampson...]

My wife could hear me watching this video. She asked of I was watching porn. I wasn't sure what to tell her.

[@black_squall]

Answer: You were. And you were watching this video too.

[@emeltea33]

@@black_squall is there an app for that?

[@keith2964]

WOOD PORN!!

[@cfreeman5631]

In a manner of speaking, Yes. This kind of stuff is as addictive.

[@ShaynaLynn]

Well, _wood_ was involved. So...

[@Hammerjockeyrepair]

I will vouch for that all day long!! Carolina work boots are hands down THE BEST BOOTS Ive work in my life! Ive done chippawas, redwings and all that crap. I wear my boots from 6am to midnight 7 days a week and by far these are the most comfy, last the longest and dont give me back problems!

[@michaelg2838]

Amazing project. Was just thinking how cool something like this would be to make for a Children's Hospital. Betting the kids would love it. Might have to attempt this one day. Great work. Very impressive.

[@misvarotallica9059]

great job jack good editing video good tool excelent creation

[@hellensmart6601]

The nutcracker is beautiful!! Great job.

[@charitylynanderson05]

My kids and I liked this video so much that we watched it twice. Great sense of humor and excellent skill! 😊

[@globetrotter683]

Absolutely brilliant. Superb workmanship with a zany take.

[@Graeme408]

Thanks for the Community Forklift shout out. They are a wonderful resource for recycled building materials of all kinds.

[@sgsax]

Love all the detail you put into this one. Was a blast watching it all come together. New unclamping methods learned from this video: screaming, magical standard-sized nutcracker, jumping off table.

[@samkabatt]

This is fantastic, thank you for sharing this beautifully crafted work of art with me. You truly are a wonderful craftsman, very well executed.

[@alex.ellson]

Paul, you are by far the most creative youtube maker in my opinion. Absolutely brilliant.

[@DOODLEND]

Wow! Unreal! Incredible job

[@xxVincentVxx]

I can say that I have watched some videos before and enjoyed the goofy antics that you did... but this... this video, while recommended way to late, has made me a subscriber :)

[@shylock97]

Seriously, this is a work of art, an inspiration to me as a woodworker, and a hell of a lot of fun to watch. Well done, Jackman Works.

[@svenmuller7283]

Coming from a region where this type if nutcracker was invented, this project made me smile. Great job!

[@svenmuller7283]

HOLY COW! I just realised I am friends with the grand-grand-grandson of Friedrich Wilhelm Füchtner - the man who came up with this design in 1870! Mind blown :O !

[@svenmuller7283]

Hey, if you are in for some slight fun check out "Meet the nutcracker" on Facebook. It's a Füchtner's nutcracker going on a trip around the globe - for real!

[@creeperkid5736]

I have to agree with you that glue does look tasty

[@dustingomez7590]

There are no words......You’re a madman, fantastic work sir

Ok this guys filming style is amazing

[@airweaverballoons626]

So much work! Impressive! You're an all or nothing man, love it!

[@rambladesmanmoe6291]

What an amazing example of craftsmanship. Keep up the great work.

[@MillerHighlands]

I've used this video as a reference in building the 3 meter version I'm building now. Great job man!

[@ArtfullyRogue]

Just wow! You must have an abundance of patience. An incredible project Paul, you have outdone yourself once again. Kudos

[@punishedprops]

Dude what an INCREDIBLE build! Fantastic work. =D

[@woodydellcreations1742]

This was a fantastic video!!! I don't think I laughed more watching a woodworking video. I also love collecting nutcrackers so this has inspired me to get my skills up and try and build one myself.. albeit a WHOLE lot smaller! Thank you and keep up the great work!

[@scottsimpey2965]

That’s awesome Paul. That looks like it must have been an insane amount of work and time to put that together. It turned out beautifully. Love your videos

[@MatthewFleming4]

Ahhhhmmaaazzzing video and an even more spectacular build! There really aren't that many maker videos that make me laugh along the way. Nailed it man. Nailed it.

[@cfreeman5631]

What a goof! Love the work and the editing. Nice work.

[@Jeff_Eats_Local]

This is incredible!!!! Excellent build!!!

[@felixfromnebraska8648]

Paul, another stellar project. You really amaze me in your diversity of skills and the level at which you construct everything you take on. You are the man my friend. Thanks for sharing.

[@patcarpenter3345]

Being a huge fan of Nutcrackers, I just adore this guy!! What a beautiful piece of art!!

[@JonnyBuilds]

Which tastes better: Titebond II or Titebond III? There are more convenient ways to crack a nut, but none more awesome! Great job.

[@donaldshulman6771]

Beautiful ! Great design and build. Woodworker, sculptor, painter, wow!

[@BudionoSukses]

awesome project with awesome stop motion and very detailed human size nutcracker..

[@JoeyAtilano]

That was truly impressive!

Man you nailed it again brother!! Happy New Year!!

Just imagine how big the nutcracker would be if I had a Robust! haha

[@mamabearssheshedtracykeato6941]

I have to say that's a brilliant build! To have that whole thing in segmented pieces is beyond me. This is truly amazing! Many blessings to you Paul in 2019!

At 9:25 using your lathe as a large disk sander???? It’s brilliant. Can’t believe I’ve never seen this before. I’ll be making something similar for my lathe soon!!! With a table that can sit in front of it. You’ve just changed my life. Well maybe not but I am excited right now lol.

[@JackmanWorks]

Yesss!! Probably the best tool modification that I've ever done, I've even got a table for it too, more details here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZe3q3Roe7l7bKM Clever stuff like this is a must have in a small shop!
