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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@charitylynanderson05]

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

[@thecarterkent6571]

pure talent. With wood work and comedic work.

[@_Daan]

And video editing!

[@thecarterkent6571]

@@_Daan YES i forgot about that

[@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!

[@evanv354]

just wanna say i love ur videos a lot

[@evanv354]

they’re so funny 😂

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

WOOD PORN!!

[@cfreeman5631]

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

[@ShaynaLynn]

Well, _wood_ was involved. So...

[@toddwright11]

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

[@creeperkid5736]

I have to agree with you that glue does look tasty

[@Graeme408]

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

[@globetrotter683]

Absolutely brilliant. Superb workmanship with a zany take.

[@alex.ellson]

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

[@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!

[@rambladesmanmoe6291]

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

[@airweaverballoons626]

This is the greatest wood working video of the year!

[@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.

[@hellensmart6601]

The nutcracker is beautiful!! Great job.

[@cpeterson877]

I'm always amazed that you get these huge projects done in 20-30 minutes. I can't even find my tools that fast.

Ok this guys filming style is amazing

[@ArtfullyRogue]

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

[@MillerHighlands]

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

[@waynemorrison9905]

Love the nut cracker, but up here in Canada we cry a little bit when we see you drill holes in a new pair of slippers. Love your stuff.

[@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!

[@tomsdreamshopworx]

Wonderful all around! It is my second favorite piece of yours. First place goes to the lamp leg. I can’t imagine how many hours you have in this project.

[@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!!

[@gbjones54]

As I've said before Paul. This is incredible. My favorite was the leg lamp but this tops that. Way cool. As Izzy would say "Don't put your finger in it!!!"

[@donaldshulman6771]

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

[@zifnab6824]

i hope i am not the only one with a twisted sense of humor that loves the sarcasm in your videos.

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

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Man, you are an artist! Absolutely incredible!

[@brandleeshadden5913]

What a amazing woodworker you are and so creative with your video editing. Wish you had a timer so we could see how long this takes.

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

[@alecmcmahon]

That is just the most adorable drum sander I've ever seen.

[@CineFanatique]

That is one of the coolest things I've ever seen! I wish I had the tools and know how to replicate this...

[@DOODLEND]

Wow! Unreal! Incredible job

[@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!

[@f.s.863]

There is just one word to say - AMAZING!!!!!!!

[@kleinisfijn]

That is one of the maddest things you've build. Love it.

[@rvfinder7997]

My god dude. That puts the amount of effort of anything I have or will ever do in my life to shame. As far as I'm concerned you just lived multiple lives right in front of my eyes. You are more like God than a mortal being

[@j316finewoodworking6]

And the winner for most extreme woodworking project goes to?????....WOW Freakin crazy....hats off to you.

[@JonnyBuilds]

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

[@cfreeman5631]

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

[@misvarotallica9059]

great job jack good editing video good tool excelent creation

[@MrDachimas]

100% unreal, congrats on a crazy ass build, he turned out amazingly!!

[@ricrose3518]

I have tried many of the ways you remove clamps but I do not get the same results. Very entertaining build once again. You should do a montage of clamp removal from all your builds.

[@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

[@markeagles7383]

You made anything possible, when you put your passion at work. Man with many hats. Great video and happy new year from down under.🍻

[@SnakesThatRattle]

Amazing work. Thoroughly enjoyed watching this most of it in amazement because I know I would never have the patience to do this.

[@jraglob5924]

It is nice to see someone that uses more glue than me. Very nice build!

[@clydedecker765]

"From now until the end of the month..." dated 12/31 ..oh that's a boon a less than 12 hour discount. Yeah,. I see your comment but at the time ... Great project that took a massive effort on your part. Well done.

[@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 :)

[@lilly3341]

Looking for ideas to make a Nutcracker and then found your video! This is beyond what I had in mind, awesome is an understatement! Your very talented!

[@JT_70]

Amazing craftsmanship and end result. I enjoyed the music, too. The coconut juice was a bit gross however. Wife has about 100 nutcrackers of all sizes that take over our home every Christmas. I had been thinking of making her a life size pair when I retire. But, after watching your video, I’m not so sure about that idea anymore. Plus, it looks like I would need to invest in tools I can’t afford, like a CNC router, jointer, big lathe, 100 more clamps... Bravo on a great job!

[@JackmanWorks]

Big lathe, yes. But I don't even own a jointer and I showed 2 different methods of doing those end caps, one with the CNC and one just on the lathe. Not that I would recommend building this though lol.

[@Mcphilsmith]

Really nice Paul. That was a lot of work and it turned out great.

[@adamrtr71]

Your creativity in your video editing is genius. Keep it up. Brilliant 👍👍

[@ADQ86]

So glad you didnt paint it so you can see all the detail!

[@bloodgain]

I was waiting for the coconut at the end, and you didn't disappoint!

[@valkyrie1716]

Scare the clamps off is one of my favorites now

[@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.

[@ThePuppetman1]

Most creative build I’ve seen in a long time! Congratulations!!!

[@elid9196]
