"That was 8 months ago...." And you can tell Peter has JUST calmed down from it, LOL. :)

[@peterbrownwastaken]

Not too far from the truth!

[@MiFi-ln3vy]

If the footage still exists, put it on a separate channel unedited for those who are ok with swear words and whatnot to look back and say to themselves “been there done that Peter”

[@SenorEscaso]

"If you can hear the tone in my voice, you can tell that frustration has seeped in." Oh, we could hear the tone in that throw. lol

[@TheKjoy85]

Frustration could be heard in the tone of voice and seen in the body language.

[@thecrazybushman]

That's why I love your videos. You show problems and not make it look like everything is perfect. Thank you

[@imDoctorAQ]

Peter u have no clue how much ur mistakes actually help in recreating these projects. Please never remove them :)

[@krtwood]

Resin is basically canned frustration. I believe they actually make it by frustrating gnomes and then extracting the frustration via proprietary methods. So it's really pretty cheap considering.

[@robertsingleton1187]

krtwood ,that's hilarious for me because I am a maintenance mechanic at a resin plant, and we have a guy who is short and we call him nomeo and all sorts of stuff because he is so short

[@peterbrownwastaken]

haha! I love it!

[@robertsingleton1187]

elzizo01 i missed something there buddy,

[@christopherneelyakagoattmo6078]

Does Nomeo ever whistle while he works? Of is he more the grumpy variety of Gnome?

[@robertsingleton1187]

definitely the grumpy type

[@almagill]

We've all been there :) I've got a scrap pile full of "That was really good, right up until I made it better..."

[@minehermit]

i like this, this is a good comment :P

[@peterbrownwastaken]

This is perfect! THAT is exactly what happens.

[@almagill]

Peter Brown... way back in the olden days I was told "Better is the enemy of good". I always remember that rule just after going "Uh oh..." and creating a new chunk of firewood.

[@megamancards]

I like the video.. you're still very polite for a pissed-off guy.

[@FranklinHarding]

I love that philosophy, when I'm programming and I get very frustrated I either A. Can't do what I want B. Can kinda do what I want. But either way, even if I "get it to work" when I'm very frustrated, I usually can come back in another day and be like "Oh duh, here's a way more efficient way to do what I wanted". Sometimes taking a break truly is the best thing to do.

[@michcode4870]

Frank Harding I know that feeling

[@FranklinHarding]

***** Everybody get's frustrated when programming. Otherwise you're not challenging yourself, and you're not learning.

[@leecrawford6560]

Frank Harding so true, that idea when you're calmed down afterwards is always a good feeling to feel 😄😌 plus if you frustrated and destroy what you worked so hard on for so many hours, you end up tired and crying cause this isn't what you wanted in the first place

[@wheresmytea1092]

Even worse when you know you've got what you need to do, the right code and all but it keeps breaking - can't find an issue, come back later and it's a simple syntax error. 😂

[@theofulk5636]

but not while epoxy is cooking !

[@AvenRox]

Make a glitter blank. GLITTER

[@bbippy6752]

Make it HOLO!

[@jadedlion1001]

AvenRox Calm down satan

[@GraceSerenityK]

Now THAT might be a bigger mess than the salt!

[@ridiculouscuteness3]

AvenRox That would be a hot mess to make. 😅 But the end result would be awesome. o_o Black, or superfine holographic glitter...✨ 😦

[@angelbaker7672]

Yes, holographic glitter!

[@LolitasGarden]

Love that unexpected, out-of-character Hulk-out at 4:15.

[@noahpaulette1490]

I'll do the same thing a lot of the times I'll be completely calm a clear out an area and then throw a wrench or screwdriver lol

[@darthrevan2063]

Noah Paulette yep that’s me lol

[@dpmakestuff]

The frustrated board toss should be an event at the KZbin Maker Olympics. Been there! nice to see you power through this one and bring it home.

[@braselton94]

[@Ajswindowshelper]

It's very strong with this one.

[@patrickhodson8715]

You know you can edict your comments, right?

[@patrickhodson8715]

Edit*

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Your just brave enough to share fails and I love that, we all screw up, me more than most , to me it is about the process i learned, not what was done wrong , Thanks for sharing

[@peterbrownwastaken]

Thanks Sterlings.

[@pocket83]

I might be your Bizarro! I'm constantly stressed in my daily life, but I rarely become frustrated while in shop. These sorts of projects have an almost meditative calming effect on me now. It sure wasn't like that for me in my 20's, though.

[@peterbrownwastaken]

We should work together then. Either we'll cancel each other out for a super calming ASMR or make a viral video...

[@Cukeasaurus]

I, for one, fully support the two of you doing something together. Two awesome channels, and I always manage to learn something from every video each of you make.

[@Cukeasaurus]

In fact, invite AvE, and Bob from ILikeToMakeStuff, too. One big dysfunctional family gathering of awesome.

[@Goldhound4]

+Peter Brown POCKET BROWN COLAB WOULD BE SO LIT

[@Geeksmithing]

Just subscribed! :D

[@DCsk8rgoelz]

Peter, your honesty - with both us and yourself - about your mistakes is why I am always so excited to watch your videos. There are so many makers on here who I am subscribed to, some with better audio and video quality, some with far more experience, some with a lot of time and money. Those are all interesting and fun but none of those things are nearly as interesting to me as someone who can be frank and makes me feel like I am learning with them. Thank you.

[@teethrthe9083]

You'd think a thirteen year old girl who has no interest in doing anything like this stuff wouldn't be someone to binge watch this channel... but here I am.

[@randomconsumer4494]

Boopy Doopy Doopy Boopy expand the mind!

[@agustinburroni8745]

Keep it up! Now it's your time.

[@PinguPhD]

I used to love shop class when I was younger. Maybe try finding some local craftsmen who wouldn't mind if you shadowed them if you don't know someone who does shop outright? Many craftsmen probably wouldn't mind showing a young person the ropes.

[@Submarinegold47]

Boopy Doopy Doopy Boopy What

[@adityaaurora9869]

Boopy Doopy Doopy Boopy honestly, in kinda like that, but I make knives and weapons

[@AndyBirkeyMaker]

That's the most fantastic advice for all of us maker types! Just knowing when to walk away.... I know that we joke around a lot, but I admire you so much, dude. Seriously.

[@peterbrownwastaken]

Thank you very much. The feeling is mutual!

[@AndyBirkeyMaker]

Peter Brown okay, enough of that... everybody back to work!

[@kylkinger]

Peter, I honestly truly admire that you show us your process and mistakes. I know that sometimes, it can be embarrassing or disheartening, but it shows us that even the people who we really respect as creators, and who are truly very talented at what they do, aren't perfect either. A girl named Anika Victoria makes fashion DIY's on KZbin, and was asked why she leaves in her fails or stumbles along the way. It helps us learn what works, what doesn't work, and to think outside of the box. (Pun not intended, but is welcomed) Like you said, what you think will work, may not, and it develops our critical thinking. Thank you for showing us your honest process. Much love from Canada

[@stephenadams5293]

Showing how you learned to do it is what makes it nice to watch your projects.

[@lelandclayton5462]

This is why I like your videos and projects. You leave in the issues and hurdles we makers run into when we go full tilt on a project. Anyone with a KZbin channel can edit the screw ups out but you show us anything can happen and at times even come up with great remedies to b able to accomplish the task.

[@brothyr]

Hole punch the paper while dry. Assemble on a peg/nail bed.

[@Finchers62]

Adam Rivera you would need to be careful when rolling to not rip the paper at the holes

[@SeptimMartin]

If you are going to be trimming the blank anyway, just use those sticky-backed white reinforcement rings around the holes.

[@dfvhswrjjrefvyht4110]

I was thinking about using the table salt trick, it works for wood to stop it slipping around

[@peterbrownwastaken]

That is a ver clever idea! One hole in each corner...

[@jackspradt1562]

just staple the frikkin' corners to the wood when done -- hammer staples flush... c'mon people, use your noggin's.

[@pileofstuff]

idea: do a denim micarta skateboard for braille! maybe use one of their t-shirts for the outer layer.

[@KaiPlews]

Thanks Peter, this is why I love KZbin makers. They are real, honest people making cool stuff and sharing their experiences.

[@shnicklefritz15]

I think everyone who watches your channel appreciates how real you are with us. Leaving in the mistakes makes us feel like we don't have to be perfect. It motivates people to try the things they see on your channel, because they know if they make a mistake, it's not a big deal. You rock, Peter. Keep up the awesome work.

[@hizo64HH]

Props for owning up to mistakes, I love your videos!

[@red4643]

Personally, seeing the mistakes and work put into each of your projects shows the dedication and learning you, and many others, go through to make it successful. Always remember that just because you found ways not to do it doesn't mean it's a complete failure. I can't wait to see what you turn out with this!!

[@kathmonkey]

I love that you leave the mistakes in. I don't do what you do, but seeing someone who makes the lovely things you make, and knowing that you make mistakes just like a regular human, helps me to persevere when my projects go a bit wrong. Nobody's perfect. Words to live by.

[@toristeveson]

The last few minutes is why I watch you so faithfully. I am a painter, and making mistakes is just a part of art. It's how we learn. Love your channel.

[@kyradavis9344]

I'm glad you posted, because we all make mistakes but they aren't often shared.

[@craftedworkshop]

Outstanding video, Peter. It is definitely easy to get frustrated mid-build, walking away is sometimes a much better option. Thanks for showing your mistakes, I think it makes us follow makers feel better about our errors and missteps.

[@wren6311]

One of the reasons I watch your videos is because of how human you seem. The magic of editing makes artists seem like perfect beings who have no flaws. But your videos show you making cool stuff and making mistakes.

[@Kelly_Z]

I really appreciate that you include your mistakes / frustrations, and talk about the lessons learned. I'm sure it's really difficult to show it all to the online world, but I love your honestly. This is truly how it goes when you make stuff, and I like your authenticity.

[@alyssamsipe9123]

I've got a lot of respect for you, Peter.

[@Geeksmithing]

Peter, this couldn't have been posted at a better time! The USB hub challenge project is totally kicking my butt, and I can relate to much of what you said here. Thanks for shining more light on the mistake part of making. It is a difficult part of the process, but a necessary one if we are to truly learn something worthwhile from a project. Cheers! That being said, I am about to demold the 3rd attempt....wish me luck! :D

[@peterbrownwastaken]

I've been following your whomp progress! I love the idea, and I hope you find a way to overcome it. But even if you don't remember, "Not every idea has to work, even the really good ones"

[@Geeksmithing]

Peter Brown That is very true man. On my 3Rd attempt, I embedded a raspberry pi to make it a retrogames console, but that didn't survive the casting process. My parts on order is the fourth and final iteration! 😎

[@michelleross9782]

Making mistakes is learning & showing them is teaching. I appreciate your honesty & humbleness in being willing to show EVERYTHING...

[@stormyeffects4795]

Peter, Thank you so much for all of the effort that you put into your amazing videos. I know it is not easy. There are so many wonderful things that you do in your videos in order for us to benefit. Always take care of yourself before your KZbin channel. If you need a breather, just turn off the camera and step out. I appreciate leaving in the mistakes. I watch videos more often that have mistakes in them than the ones that do not because then when I am attempting a project, it helps me to not be as frustrated. The mistakes help me to know that I am not the only one frustrated with the project and that it is okay to struggle. Thank you Peter for all of your efforts. I really appreciate your work and frustrations. Take care, keep up your hobbies, and remember to relax. -Storm

[@supernewuser]

I was legitimately surprised when you threw that laminate to the floor. I was like whoa this escalated quickly. My initial thoughts when I see the blank you produced is that you should try your hand at making a micarta skateboard. Essentially a deck is just 7 plies of hard maple glued together and what you've produced there looks like it could be a few plies. Maybe like 5 sheets of color per ply or something. Anyway you should make another skateboard deck for braille with the micarta technique.

[@Eto_Kusay]

it will be flimsy af

[@supernewuser]

Илья Артемович haha yeah.

[@rune9864]

supernewuser you'd want several plies my friend. Skateboards are not made of the same materials, some are maple some are oak others are flimsy birch.

[@peterbrownwastaken]

My Micarta tablet stand feels like a block of concrete. So, given enough layers, you could do a skateboard deck.

[@charlesreicks648]

Can you make a box with shallow sides and the inside of the plastic box, is the same size as the paper, like making a turning blank box. Place a sheet of paper in the box cote it with resin and when you have enough sheets in the box insert a lid the exact size as your paper, then add some weight till dry. I think this will keep the paper from moving. Keep filming I really enjoy watching. Thanks

[@BrittneyLuv748]

this is a really good idea!

[@britishcadet]

I thought he'd do that, but if he doesn't want to risk it sticking, wax paper could work

[@vigilante004]

That's what I was thinking the whole time while watching this cluster f*#K. He should make it out of the same stuff he made his little roller out of, HDPE.

[@SOAHCSOAHCSOAHC]

That's what I did the time(the one time) I tried making micarta. It did a great job of preventing slipping. Mine failed for entirely different reasons.

[@BeaverButter]

Yes, in fact that's called a Micarta Press. You can use bolts on the sides to pull it down nice and evenly. It will also make sure you dont get any gaps in your micarta.

[@OldSkoolSP]

Your humility and forthrightness is a service to us all.

[@isamidnight]

To be honest, the mistakes are my favorite part. They make you human, humorous, and totally relate-able. It's why I subscribed.

[@TheSafecrkr1]

Peter, a fail is only a fail if you didn't learn from it. my 1st. experience with micarta was a disaster. I used the wrong epoxy, that was a lot of fun.... Not. I watched a yt video about the easy way to make micarta. I can't remember where I found it, but essentially it was a rectangular plastic cake pan. He wrapped 1 pieces of wood (the same size as the cake pan) with parchment paper.

[@TheSafecrkr1]

then he poured the resin into the pan & laid the paper in one at a time using the roller to cover each piece with resin. when he reached the end he covered the stack with the parchment covered wood & clamped the whole thing to his bench.

[@BradleyMakesThings]

Oh man I can so relate to that level of frustration! Oh man. It's tough not to get aggravated when you've put so much effort into something and it's fighting you the whole time (or at specific challenging times). Definitely try to take a step back now when that happens, but sometimes it's hard.

[@MyWarriorInHiding]

leaving in the imperfections makes the final product more beautiful. when we have frustration, the natural inclination is to not show it to others by not expressing it, but if you can express something that makes it more than it was, and it's the way you express something that makes it beautiful. yes you got frustrated, and you expressed that frustration, but it did not end there. instead of hiding your frustration like a shameful secret you shared it for the betterment of others, and that makes the expression of that frustration beautiful, and it gives it meaning. thank you.

[@paulpardee]

The fact that you leave your mistakes in the videos is half of the value of your videos for me. Knowing what pitfalls await me before I start is extremely helpful. If every project I saw others do went perfectly and every project I did was fraught with mistakes, I would get frustrated and give up. Every mistake you make on camera is a mistake one of your viewers doesn't have to make. As far as taking a step back, I think that might be universal. I'm a software engineer. Anytime my code just is full of bugs or becomes overly complicated, I have learned to step back, talk it over (even with someone who doesn't know anything about code) and the right path becomes clear.

[@AlphaNerd132]

Idea for a dip it. Use metal shavings from a lathe. You can get all kids of shapes (I had curls in mind) and they end up in like a nice blue.

[@aaronkeith2644]

This is very mature of you. Good job being honest

[@jamesgrimwood1285]

I like this, it's a nice contrast to those "perfect" KZbin videos out there. You know the kind, you watch someone perfectly create something, seemingly in one take, with no mistakes, no fumbled or dropped tools, no "standing and thinking about what to do next". And while they're also good to watch, I do find myself thinking "you either do this as a job, and the process is so deeply learned you don't need to think" or "just how many outtakes did you go through to get this perfect outcome?". Also, don't underestimate the things you accidentally teach your viewers when you make mistakes. Like, now I know that if I decide to play with resin, when it starts to drip on the floor and I tread in it, it's just one of those things that'll happen.

[@epithemeus3596]

I echo the sentiments of most everybody else. It's great seeing your failures and frustration, it's always hard when a project goes south and then watch other creators post these perfect amazing projects that seem so darn easy. That and your great sense of humour are what keep me watching.

[@iLOVEpicklesBRO28]

Scared the shit out of me at 4:15

[@bsr8129]

pussy

[@macska725]

Same tbh

[@Black-Swan-007]

Same! I had to pause and rewind the video like, "Wtf just happened?"

[@NickDClements]

4:31 When you really need something to stick to the fantastic material that nothing sticks to.

[@randonimity84]

As I'm the LAST person in the world who should be encouraged to do shop-projects, I am so happy I discovered your channel. I shall vicariously live out my shop-project dreams through you.

[@TimeConsumingInc]

I'm glad you showed your mistakes. Not enough KZbinrs do that and it makes you guys more relatable when you do.

[@19Photographer76]

IMO, the Best videos are when mistakes are left in.

[@27dcx]

Good, good, let the hate flow through you. Embrace the power of the Dark Side!

[@1992ilikepie]

I really appreciated this. I feel like people reflecting on themselves in such a frank way is very seldom. Humility is a virtue.

[@HmmmmmLemmeThinkNo]

It takes a strong person to admit their mistakes, and to recognise what you could have done better. It's something I really appreciate. Thank you

[@darknightx33x81]

you should make a drinking glass by carving quartz

[@eternal8song]

Darknightx33x quartz is like an 8 on the mohs hardness scale it'd probably destroy his tools

[@rfldss89]

quartz is literally the same material as glass just with a more ordered lattice. I think that already makes it a no-no unless you want silicosis and hurt your eyes with all the glass powder in the air.

[@darknightx33x81]

Rafael Dos Santos I'm aware glass is quartz, but how does having a more ordered lattice a no no? also we already know he uses a mask and glasses on some of his projects, they always say safety first and easily avoid the health problems

[@darknightx33x81]

eternal8song he carved salt on his lathe, can this be much worse than corrosion induced by salt?

[@eternal8song]

It's not a matter of corrosion, it's a matter of his tools being softer than quartz. quartz is one of the hardest minerals. you need specialized diamond burrs and a high speed rotary tool to carve it.

[@xdynastiiv7760]

Please send braille skateboarding a micarta board! I would appreciate it immensely and it could be a great idea

[@briandelanis7348]

I appreciate your frustration and occasional over thinking, it's what keeps me from smashing things I have been over engineering for hours, sometimes days. Thank you for the free therapy and great projects.

[@hannahschumacher7034]

I'm glad you leave your mistakes in your videos, shows that not only are you human but, you have a great sense of humor within yourself to be able to laugh at yourself (in a good way) and be able to keep on working...much love from Chicago!!

[@borderex9993]

this is trending. congrats peter :D

[@suez7615]

I'm such a fan girl for you. lmao. Seriously though, i LOVE your videos.

[@foreveronmywaytofuckyourbi5567]

Sue Z I like your eyeball

[@ryanmckay6471]

Sue Z beautiful eye ☺ lol

[@ericaa406]

Yessss! I love seeing mistakes on KZbin. Whether it's a family vlog with tantrums included or beauty videos with failures or your videos with your stumbles. So much more enjoyable...They just make more sense to me! Thanks for sharing :)

[@mrthewubbie]

As someone who has always "sucked at tools" and suffered some self esteem issues as a result, and is now starting this journey of making things with my own hands, I'm telling you this video has done more to make me feel better about my efforts than any other of your videos. As much as I draw inspiration from them, this one gives me confidence and shows me that mistakes happen, even to someone as gifted as you are. I saw myself in this video, it is both humanizing and profound. It really encourages me to keep going, even if I get setback or something doesn't materialize the way I wanted. We can't all be Bob Ross, and we shouldn't. Thanks for posting,this, it was not a mistake! :-)

[@user-ys7nu2kc7z]

Thanks 4 leaving in all your mistakes! It tells us what not to do :) Lol

[@frankingram3382]

Dog-gone, he's human. God Bless my friend.

[@aliandher]

I appreciate the fact that you leave the mistakes in your videos. It's awesome to see you continue forward and start again until you're satisfied with the outcome

[@rweaver90]

“I have always left in my mistakes, and it doesn’t feel good. It doesn’t feel good to leave those in because it feels like I make a lot of mistakes, but the truth is, everybody makes a lot of mistakes. It’s just a part of making.” Thank you for leaving it in, Peter. I make mistakes making things and I can say it’s more helpful and encouraging to see someone I look up to working through mistakes or hard parts of their projects. It’s good to see that it doesn’t always come easily.

[@LerrySanders]

Life Lessons with Peter Brown.

[@NecroBanana]

Will you ever make some knife handle scales out of this?

[@Sebastopolmark]

Personally, I appreciate that fact that creators leave in the "mistakes". That helps all of us greatly by NOT making the same ones. SO by you leaving them in, WE are all better "makers" Thanks Peter and keep'em coming - mistakes and all.

[@GaviLazan]

Peter, this is why we (or at least I) come back every time. You show it how it is, and that is what is interesting and educational.

[@kay486]

when you did the book holder, did you put the resin on every page?

[@peterbrownwastaken]

about every 3rd page. It soaked in very well. In fact I'm using it to hold my tablet as I type...

[@e.g.5523]

Can you make a galaxy paperweight? That would be awesome!😊

[@vderf1]

I for one would like to thank you for showing these sorts of things, mistakes and all. While it may make some say that the video is less polished or some other nonsense, its incredibly important that people understand that making mistakes is part of the process of both learning and exploring novel ideas. As someone who likes to make things, any time you are stretching your abilities or trying something new, making those mistakes and figuring out what works for you is part of the deal. Seeing that you are not alone in getting frustrated with a project is going to resonate with anyone who has tried to go anywhere beyond paint by numbers.

[@Painteagle]

Peter you are my hero for leaving the mistakes in your video. Seeing your mistakes gave me a lot of courage to get started in wood working.

[@acme663ryo]

If I didn't make mistakes I wouldn't make anything.

[@browncm3507]

Make a flower crown for your daughter, but with dried pressed flowers in epoxy :D

[@Aldine_InkBlack]

This is why I love your videos! You dont pretend to be a magical WoodWorking Wizard. You learn from your mistakes and we learn not to make the same mistakes. but most importantly, we learn that making mistakes are OK! Keep making things! I love watching your Channel and seeing the creative things you come up with!!!

[@jujucatjuca]

I actually love it how you also leave the mistakes in your video. Art is all about making mistakes anyway! And you always find a way to work around them. Thank you for posting this, I really enjoyed it

[@jayhitek]

Coul dbe my favorite video of yours. I love you Peter! #nohomo

[@mariemacfhionghuin11]

#allthehomo

[@quinntitus4509]

can you make videos of you cleaning up the messy stuff, like the salt, crayons, etc

[@peterbrownwastaken]

I did. It was three videos back. Jolly Rancher Cleanup.

[@quinntitus4509]

Peter Brown I mean even more i enjoyed it :)

[@rachelkaufman2422]

Peter is one of my favorites to watch BECAUSE he does leave in his mistakes and shows how hes gonna attempt to fix those mistakes. That way if me or someone is trying to do what he did in that video, and we run into a problem just like him, we also know that instead of freaking out, we cam try whatever solution hes about to try. Keep up the amazing work peter!!!

[@yoyology]

I really appreciate your willingness to talk about your mistakes and be honest about your emotions. Thank you.

[@kaylawalker4475]

Please make a glitter project!

[@kylerheckathorn]

Make micarta wheels for Braille skateboarding it would be awesome and would get a lot of views

[@PeculiarGirlKelly]

I love that you posted this. We all make mistakes and we all let our frustration get the better of us sometimes. It can be nice to see others doing both of those things, it makes me feel more normal.

[@tracybillingsley2648]

I am thankful that you leave in mistakes and mishaps. I have always enjoyed watching Norm Abrams, but I always feel intimidated - "why do my projects never go that smoothly?" Seeing that artists that produce the level of work that you make have issues too gives me relief. More importantly, seeing how you deal with problems inspires me to never give up completely on any project.

[@Roshkin]

Is paper mache micarta?

[@laurentdasheep]

only if you use resin as glue ;)

[@ShatoraDragondore]

I have a Dip It idea, Paint i think it will look like a frozen lava lamp

[@BioMarauder44]

honestly one of my favorite makers on KZbin because you bring everything down to earth instead of standing on a pedestal like the maker god you secretly are.

[@0Jillarious0]

This is exactly why I'm subscribed to your channel. When I initially found your videos I was so impressed by how happily and easily you rolled with setbacks. Your videos are always uplifting.

[@thos1guys419]

Mr. Brown, I need to ask a question to you. I have a set of "chisels" my aunt had gotten for me from a friend, she did not tell me if they were normal chisels or lathe chisels, and I thought if any one is to know it's most defiantly you good sir. please reply and I'll give you detailed I have a video on my channel the only video on my channel. (not a plug just want info on the chisels)

[@peterbrownwastaken]

shoot me a link to the video

[@thos1guys419]

Peter Brown how do I do that? I'm useing a phone

[@andrewh3686]

Thos1 Guys seems to be lathe chisels

[@thos1guys419]

Drewplaysyt ok thank you sir

[@peterbrownwastaken]

What I see look like carving tools! the shafts and handles are too small for turning, and the handle appears to have reinforcement for mallet blows.

[@Hubbmade]

Sometimes when I drop things I also say "that's where that goes " LOL does anybody know where that comes from?

[@emmabrogan8548]

Hubbard's Handmade - My Mum always said "Well at least it can't fall any further"

[@jeronimomurruni]

when i throw something because of frustation i say "stupid gravity", and start to giggle. It calms me down

[@AttilaThebung]

Emma Brogan my dad says the same thing, it's a staple of my vocabulary now. "Won't go anywhere unless it grows legs" has started to creep into it too.

[@peterbrownwastaken]

I'm not sure. I thought I was being original... :)

[@Hubbmade]

Peter Brown LOL think nothing of it...EVERYTHING else you do is pretty original! Thanks for the videos!

I've been subscribed to you for, I think a year and a half now, and your videos are always really cool and fun to watch. Even though I'm a 16 year old girl, and I'll probably never woodwork, it's so cool to see what you make. Keep your chin held high, you're a cool dude.

I appreciate the mistakes you leave in the videos. It gives a more accurate forecast of a project that I may attempt. Which means I know what can happen and prepare to make adjustments. So THANK YOU, because so often project videos make things look super easy and quick and unprepared for the various scenarios.

I love that you show us your mistakes. Because it is more true and if someone will make the thing they will learn more seeing what not to do. I really appreciate that you show all your attempts to do the thing, not only the one that worked. And I love watching how you search for another solution to a problem and you're not giving up.
