Thank you.

[@dwmadsen81]

This is still one of my favorites that you have created. This particular piece while very different reminds me of a small, freestanding cupboard that my Grandmother had when I was knee high to a grasshopper. Thank you for the content you produce for us. Truly inspirational.

@@ohasis8331 Something funny - KZbin just showed me the new functionality to check users profile. I can clearly see that almost all the guys that comment here have the same channels as me in their subscription list. Saying that I do believe that more or less we are all on the same mentality and keeping in fact how good Mike's videos are (in all aspects and not just craftsmanship) the fact that there is no dislikes is ... normal 😁.

Long are the days when the shop apprentice was sweeping up sawdust with a broom and dust pan that was 2.5 times his size. Now he's going jack hammer style on the scissor lift. Great work again Mike.

I find that one thing all *GREAT* YT'ers have in common are a) knowledge b) craftsmanship c) PASSION d) presentation skill. (in that order). You have incredible way of telling a story that pulls the user in. And your passion and skill comes through in spades. Without sounding condescending, without sounding like you're flexing. Just quality content with quality voice over that explains what and why you're doing the things in your build. What a gem!

@@MikeFarrington I just started wood working about a year ago. I've been doing random refinishings for about two years tho. I'm starting to get more and more into designing my own. So far I've made a bench, an entertainment center, a sofa table and a computer desk. Working on a wood plant stand right now. I'm gonna check out the Japanese lantern. Been wanting to make one of those. Maybe even something on a slightly larger scale. I love woodworking. The possibilities are pretty much endless.

[@bighands69]

+Tyreman Woodworks There is no such thing as Arts and Craft style he is just producing Arts and Crafts. There are styles within Arts and Craft such as Greene and Greene. Traditional carpentry/joinery is Arts and Crafts or I suppose we could just call it crafts. If you are a small independent maker then you more than likely are Arts and Crafts. The Arts and Craft movement which started a revival is what confuses people.

I didn't know there were still retail shops out there that stocked and sold actual high quality furniture, Modern Bungalow looks well worth a visit next time I'm in the very square state of Co. Great looking piece, somebody's grandkids will be happy to inherit that in 80-90 years

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you very much. Its not an easy road for Modern Bungalow. They work very hard to stock good stuff. I really like their store, when they asked me to build a piece for them, it was an automatic yes, just a question of what and when really.

[@ApexWoodworks]

Hey, Mike, nice design and good craftsmanship as always! I have a question regarding your finishing: I saw you using water-soluable dye, followed by an oil-based wiping stain... but no protective topcoat. Did I somehow miss that?

Spencer Orr How old is Mike, you reckon..? 🤔

[@spencerorr4374]

Olm9 mid-late ish 30's. In his tube sock table project video he speaks about being a teenager wearing flannel with his friends listening to "Daughter" by Pearl Jam. Obvious a reference to being a teenager in the 90's. Just a rough guess. Maybe he didn't mean for it to betray a specific age. But I always pay attention to his narrations and have seen most of his videos multiple times each. Top KZbin woodworking channel. Quality craftsmanship, quality camera work, quality, narration, quality shop, quality human being. Always happy to see his family enjoying his company as a father. Reminds me of simpler times with my own children.

[@MikeFarrington]

Spencer you have good taste in music. Thank you for your kind words and thank you for watching my videos. You are close on my age. I turn forty in 2020. I have been balding and shaving my head for about 20 years. The dark years were the ones where I couldn't grow hair or a beard. That just didn't seem fair.
