Making a glass ceiling

She does like it when I make luxurious things for her.
Making maple frames and laser etched mirrors for a back lit ceiling, this is for the first foor en-suite in my 160 year old Victorian house renovation.

I made my wife cry by getting a Mohawk...less effort that your tremendous piece...bravo.

[@mattevans7884]

When I see one of your videos come up, I tell the Missus to bog off before she gets any ideas of asking me to do stuff like this for her! I settle back, have a brew and enjoy watching a proper craftsman at work! Excellent film, as always

[@purpleom9649]

If my wife ever sees this channel I'm divorced for being useless and I've just finished French polishing our antique dining room table. Your videos and what you do is a cut above the rest.

[@alanhanniffy8177]

Me too 😀, amazingly talented and inspiring 😍🇮🇪

[@Tinatortoise]

🤔 hmmmm. The real question is, if I divorce The Crabby one, we he marry me?

[@RS-jz4pg]

i second the bit about his videos and what he does!

[@danielfoster4386]

The way he edits his videos he makes it appear to be so simple. Thinking about the time and skill it actually takes for him to do a project like this is very intimidating to me. His refinishing results are on a level I've rarely seen before. The way he will hand paints the woodgrain to make it look continous from one board to the next us amazing.

[@Adam-xb5vt]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@unstruckmatchstick2944]

I know absolutely nothing about any of what's going on in this video, but what a delight to watch! There is nothing more satisfying than watching a master at work. Excellent piece.

[@carmenschumann826]

. . . you don't explain anything but you show us that you are able to switch on and off a table saw and a drill press and also to move wood . . . marvellous !

[@pdstokes8]

That is genius. No wonder your wife cried tears of happiness and joy 😃

[@MuhammadAdamGhamkoley]

At first I thought your wife was silly to cry with joy but realised at the end your effort and result were well worth the awe.

[@wandamcgiboney5141]

What a pleasure seeing a husband give life to his wife’s dream ,,,,,,very beautiful. I’m excited for her

[@hitnorcal]

This guy is so funny. Thats why I watch. Similar to This Old Tony, it's about the dry stuff that gets me.

[@modmen.]

I'm not sure If you didn't mean This Old Tony? If not I'd recommend.

[@hitnorcal]

@@modmen. Your right. I meant to type This Old Tony and I corrected it.

[@Giddykippa65]

one would assume from your youtube channel you are just a carpenter.. but no you are a cabinet marker, electrician , engineer, metal worker, fabricator, welder and everything in between your talents never cease to amaze absolutely love your videos

[@procrastinator41]

skills

[@David-ev5ck]

GENUIS.........I WOULD SAY !

[@FiglioBastardo]

I'm pretty sure this guy is an advanced teslabot. 🤣

[@M5TABBYCAT]

Agree

[@EvenTheDogAgrees]

I think the term you're looking for is "renaissance man". 😄

[@Easy_Going__]

Awww….I wanted to see your wife’s reaction! It is utterly stunning!! You’re a funny guy! Love the comments.

[@EmptyGlass99]

I've enjoyed your work for years but am now enjoying your sarcasm just as much. My father was a cabinet maker from Burley-in-Wharfedale - he'd have loved your channel.

[@dgmoore]

A true master of precision eyechrometer measurement

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

Beautiful idea to brighten up a small space. Your wife had every right to be teary. 👏💕🥳

[@l3d-3dmaker58]

remember kids, make your loved ones cry.... from happiness!💕

[@tsantanadk234]

U make staffs look easy but it's all skill based n talent..electrics.. carpentry..painting..Interior designs..graphics..plumbing so satisfying to be good in all tht..

[@LTFC1964]

You sir are not good for a man’s self esteem 😊 I really doubt there is anyone out there with such an amazing range of talents. Everyone has one skill they can be proud of but yours seems endless. Keep up the magnificent work and the style of video presentation.

[@bigdav123456]

I love your work mate.. As a Barnsley/Kirkby man myself, I find your Humour on point, and the Plasters, well, they had John Smiths coming down my nose, and out of my tear ducts..😁😂🤣😂🤣 The Health and safety mans nightmare, is the man who he tells "You can't do that"!, Is the Man who has been doing it for years.! Great work Chief..!

[@tamhunter4035]

I have now watched this several times, it never gets boring.

[@robinfulton9057]

I like the fish design. I could watch you work all day long, but then I wouldn't get nothing done. Another great job.

[@captainbeefheart8866]

Splendid result as always, it is always a joy to watch you work! I'd like to offer two tips for the LED lighting: 1. Use COB LED strips. They have a much more uniform appearance and individual LED's are much less apparent if noticeable at all. 2. Add a diffuser directly to the LED strips. This will spread the light out much more uniformly before it reaches the mirrors.

[@joroyle8108]

Absolutely beautiful no wonder she cried 🤩🤩🤩

[@vonHannersdorf]

Your wife must be very lucky woman! Thank you for sharing your skillfull and gorgeous videos! 👍🏻

[@cristianaoliveira7878]

I’m crying too! It looks like 7 stars hotels!

[@robandsharonseddon-smith5216]

Couch safety officers! Softies - everyone knows that Yorkshiremen have steel fingers and corneas made of diamond ;-) Beautiful work as always - it is a delight to watch such a consummate professional at work, and since you ask, the feathers...

[@D...........33]

How bad is my walk in 🤣🤣🤣 just Spot on. In the UK that is very very good 👍😁👍

[@martinmoss317]

Love your skill and attention to detail. Love your humour. Hanging those mirrors needed a touch like a bloody midwife!!!

[@mattiasfagerlund]

That looks so cool, bravo! The fishes look like they'd fit the entrance of a super fancy Asian restaurant.

[@marynimocks6791]

I believe she got teary! Stunning!

[@bobwilliamson5574]

I'm glad you got to the end with your fingers and eyes intact, well done.

[@plainnpretty]

The fish nice idea very well done please film more

[@skigeek]

The Band-Aids all over your arms while breaking the mirrors cracked me up!

[@Hiksan5]

There are originals - and then there are true first movers. All your videos show things I have newer seen on other channels, or things done in a different and highly personal style that sets it apart from the lot. This project as well; well thought out, well executed. Add to that some of the dryest humor on YT, great stuff. My favorite pattern is the one with the cog whels⚙👍

[@thesehandsart]

No doubt your work shows your task yet by and training but the bonus snark is what keeps me coming back!

[@135Ops]

I'm glad all of your fingers and sense of humour are intact! 😀

[@perherbert]

Favorite pattern : the two fish in the circle. 👍

[@anadin0612]

Calm in the midst of world turmoil. Thank you Sir, from Sheffield.

[@MrPhotodoc]

I'd make my wife cry too if I had a shop like that.

[@MrPhotodoc]

Was there an MC Escher image in there. If there was, it's my favorite.

[@Sunshine-lg8su]

You asked to choose a favorite pattern and comment below…. Well…. I couldn’t pick a favorite pattern but I certainly can choose my favorite CHANNEL! Wow! I can’t wait to show my husband this channel…. He gets all puffed up with pride because he emptied the dishwasher😁 …

[@Kevin-jb2pv]

You have so many interesting little hacks and things you've made for your workshop that it all just makes me melt with jealousy and awe.

[@davidgillies620]

Outstanding. The fish in the ring of Greek keys is my favourite.

[@ravenx447]

You don’t need anything else in there, Perfect space 👊🏼

[@EvenTheDogAgrees]

Oh, boo!!! We didn't see the wife cry! 😂 But dang, that ceiling looks great! Didn't know you could laser mirrors. Although in hindsight it's always obvious, isn't it? Well, good to know. We got one of 'em puppies at the hackerspace, so there's an idea for some future Mother's Day.

[@antonoat]

You really are an artist with amazing imagination and multiple, multiple talents. A very elegant and timeless design, I like the feather and the fish especially! Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@elizabethlee6077]

Great sense of humor.

[@TheTurpin1234]

Do you have a video on your background? I want to know more about you and your work history. You know all the little techniques tips and tricks to EVERYTHING. Everything always seems so well thought out too. I cant stop watching your videos. You're probably the best carpenter on the planet.

[@patrickeller4037]

Wow!!!I'm flabbergasted about your mirror ceiling. Patrick

[@stonehengeman]

Ridiculous amount of skills and talent on show here. Amazing.

[@stanmoderate4460]

It's just not fair on the rest of us, one man with a bottomless pit of talent, skills and artistic ideas

[@liamk1990]

Great now I want a mirrored ceiling in my bathroom 😂 bravo sir

[@KA7ISVtube]

Your work is meticulous. I like the goofy critters. Fantastic job!!

[@Salamander96]

18:53 Loving the detailed plasterwork.

[@tjacksonwoodworker3726]

Another spectacular project. Your home is a work of Art. Enjoy your videos. Wouk’s love to hear your voice.

[@tonyaclaxton9169]

I have no words and can watch you work all day ☺️

[@arigol2]

Wow. You, sir, are a Jedi master. Teach me all you know!

[@generaldisarray]

Outstanding work, as always!!! I really like the Yin and Yang fish, or the Aztec Inca symbols, they're pretty cool

[@liamfoxy]

As someone prone to also cuts, burns, nicks, and uh.. explosions in the workshop, i greatly appreciated the ever increasing amounts of bandaids gag 😂

[@troywaller77]

Nice band-aid comedy. Great job as always good sir. Fish are my favorite.

[@paulstanding7267]

I could not pick a favourite as they all have their own merits and together they all look amazing very nicely done one off design brilliant 😀👍

[@mammiemania893]

I couldn't get enough of watching this the first time around; I had to watch it again. And probably again. All of this comes from your own head? Incredible!

[@mauserkk98]

Every video is a job very well done , I do feel sorry for the dusty jigsaw though .

[@Hagar2670]

What an amazing piece that is. Your wife must be very happy she has you! The mix of designs in the mirror panels work so well it's impossible to pick a favorit!

[@hudiamichael2791]

Pas si sûr !! Au vu du temp qu’il passe à jouer avec ces machines😂😂😂

[@johnnasey1770]

Man you are at another level! Great job

[@wandakowalski7063]

From the frozen wastelands of Canada … I like the fish! Thanks for the amazing video!

[@cbcdesign001]

The Carp mirror is my favourite square. Very nice.

[@karakoukloskouklos6992]

The best pattern is that one with the fishes . Nice 👍 job .

[@florinmacri72]

It was a great pleasure to watch you. I subscribe to your channel and when you post I sit comfortably.

[@justjacqueline2004]

Astonishing craftsmanship. I now want to move to Yorkshire.

[@arvidpaulius7816]

I don't have words! Just good emotions !!! 😊👍👍👏👏👏👏👏

[@Tathar7]

Hello, there! Firstly, congrats on the project, your skill is amazing! Secondly, my fav pattern is the two fish biting each other's tails, nice depiction for the infinite symbol.

[@MrBrelindm]

The Ying/Yang Koi is my favorite!

[@patosullivan8175]

True brilliance from a true craftman , respect from Ireland

[@vennic]

You, sir, are the Thom Yorke of fabrication.

[@adriansams6066]

Hi Russ, As one Joiner to another that is a class job. Big difference between Joinery and Carpentry and you are a Joiner who can do Carpentry. There is a massive difference between that and a carpenter who makes Joinery, hope you know what I mean. Really enjoyed watching the process of making it from start to finish. I'm useless with tech but loved the lasering. Lastly and I hope you take this as a compliment, you don't have all the up to date machinery but what you do have you know how to get the best from it.. I qualified in the mid 80's , had my own business for the past 25yrs or so and recently spent £40k+ on moving workshops and updating some machinery and I I know good work when I see it. Cracking job mate. :-) Adrian

[@paulthompson9013]

Aye, not too terrible for an afternoon's work

[@donaldadams5342]

Outstanding!! What a delight it is to watch you work, you seem to have 'endless strings to your bow'. Where many people would have to bring other trades in to complete certain facets of your design work, you just move along with almost ridiculous ease, this of course is somewhat caused by the fact we see only a video, not the full time process. Love to watch you work, your skills are exceptional. Don from South Aust.

[@Thepourdeuxchanson]

Try any of that with mulga wood and then count fingers....

[@Palinkat]

I like the fish and the gecko, really really nice!!!!!!!

[@ronaldeisel5927]

If I were to pick a favorite I would choose one by M.C. Escher ~ Job very well done!

[@Rubbernecker]

Damn, you're incredibly talented!! My "favourite" pattern is all of them!!

[@clown134]

the final result is so frickin cool

[@kanedNunable]

your house is going to look mint when its all done mate. lovely work

[@Digitalhunny]

All your water closet _needs_ now is a soaking tub. It'd be the best way to enjoy staring at that beautiful ceiling!

[@johneastman7991]

I like the fish in the circle.

[@nigelparker5886]

I, probably like many others, consider myself pretty good at visualisation and having an ability to work my way through a lot of techy hands on stuff....but this man is the Paradigm of talent in virtually all skill sets!? I am seriously impressed at 74 years of age and a time served toolmaker/ jig borer. Hats off and cheers!

[@twowheelfrenzy]

He's an amazing guy. More than just a jack of trades, because he's doing some gorgeous work. If you like videos like this, I could suggest you check out Kris Harbour Natural Building. The guy made a house, workshop, band logsaw, wind turbine, Hydro turbine and plenty more. It's right up this kind of alley. Kris does work that's more rustic than this, though.

[@FiglioBastardo]

@@twowheelfrenzy I'll have to check that out. My favorite rustic, hand-tool-only builder is Shawn James (his personal channel) and his log cabin building adventures My Self Reliance. Oh and Cali, the doggo, is my favorite yt doggo.

[@FiglioBastardo]

That's one helluva well deserved and humble compliment coming from a obviously seasoned gentlemen yourself! 🍻 good sir.

[@M5TABBYCAT]

My dad was a toolmaker and I always remember he could turn his hand to anything. Miss him greatly. Thank you for bringing back so many memories of his skills in your comment about time served toolmakers.

[@EvenTheDogAgrees]

What I appreciate the most is the little tips and tricks he so casually drops. Like the part where he scribes in the shape of the wall onto his side boards, to make sure he gets the perfect fit, even on an uneven wall. He doesn't draw undue attention to these things, he doesn't go off on a 5 minute lecture on what he's doing and why. But as you see him work it becomes clear in your mind. This is the best way of teaching: by simply demonstrating rather than turn it into a "lesson".

[@tomthoe]

Bandages on the shirt and pants...fantastic!

[@gerardzonjee]

So much care, precision and attention to detail. Truly wonderful to watch it coming together. Sure hope nobody in the family is planning to move house 😉

[@EvenTheDogAgrees]

Hahah, you mean like the in-laws moving in? Always a danger for that when you make the house look that stunning. 😉

[@stephenyoud6125]

Awesome. She must really love it !!

[@sallyrobinson3469]

I am speechless. Watching this work of art come together was a joy to watch, and I love it all! Amazing creativity and execution as always. TFS.

[@karenb3690]

The coy. Beautiful.

[@aqua123]

I cannot pick a favourite. It's so beautiful. Mood lighting indeed. Your partner is lucky to have someone as meticulous as you. Bravo!

[@garymilsom4873]

A true craftsman i watch you on a regular basis and always amazed buy your work.from woodwork to metalwork anything you make is so precise and a pleasure to watch .you show skill and you have so much pride in all you do.thanks for making your videos and allowing people to see your precision and true craftmanship.thankyou

[@mmasi3787]

Nicely done, you are a one hell of a thorough man!

[@tammyfinch6735]

The koi, by far. That is so pretty 😍.

[@philnixon3157]

Mate this is fucking fantastic. I wondered for a large part of this video what it was gonna be but never imagined this. Absolutely stunning.

[@steved8038]

Absolutely bloody Brilliant.Thank you for sharing.

[@robertmorris-tech-1555]

I was blown away to see you pull that ORTUR laser out from under a dusty tarp and use it to laser your mirrors because I had only just purchased and assembled my ORTUR laser a couple of weeks ago.

[@stuartnurse8415]

Stunning work - great watch as always

[@3MileRundown]

Fantastic work once again. Impossible to stop watching.

[@CasperSallee]

love the tile pattern between the gears and the peacock feathers

[@jessebenitez9357]

I like to make up sentences too! “Making a tenoning sled for the spindle moulder” is an excellent example of 18th century workman’s gibberish. Love the rustic accents! Here’s a modern take on an old classic with some American flair, please do forgive the provincial nature of the amalgam: “Spry-cocking the taint stall to the maglum weave spork!”
