Your woodworking and cinematography skills are so cohesive and blend perfectly. I feel like I’m watching a whole film crew make a documentary.

[@va11ah16]

You have some of the best videos on youtube--please make more and more and more. I don't even do woodworking myself, but I enjoy living vicariously through you

[@slowwoodshop]

Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words. Means so much

[@wonderbread1995]

I can’t get over how familiar you look. I feel like I know you. Your woodworking skills are exceptional

NY GEAR REVIEW

[@chrismoore6359]

The cut @<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="77">1:17</a> had me ROFL Hits too close to home. So happy I found this channel. I love the great woodwork accompanied by humanity, style, and openness.

[@jewdd1989]

Maddie seems like an absolute joy! Congrats to a happy marriage and may many more thoughtful gifts be built for many years! And being indecisive sucks sometimes but I also think it’s what pushes you to produce the best quality you’re capable of in the meantime because the motivation to not create mistakes drives you or at least me to work toward perfecting a skill. I can be incredibly indecisive till something clicks during a project and then usually it feels like I flow from step to step but there’s always that hard beginning with all projects where I feel adhd, my numerical dyslexia comes out and it’s a real struggle till something kicks in and then it gets easier from there

[@lylefailes4476]

I like your ethic and values. Keep up the good work - from a fellow woodworker.

[@gadoosher]

Dude, holy shit that piece about indecision really hit home for me. I do that CONSTANTLY w/ personal projects in coding and end up wasting so much time mulling over the right way to move forward, but I'm just crippling myself and keeping myself from creating. And it's so true what you said, there's no one way to do anything, so I just have to decide and keep it moving. Beautiful vid as always, really something special about your style.

[@ahmadcodes]

It used to be exactly my situation with programming, now I just plan one day only for coding and total execution and some days for just researching and learning

[@theofarmmanager267]

I’ve been woodworking for over 45 years and so, perhaps, I can recognise excellence. I congratulate you on the quality of the pieces - not the hardest things ever to make but still require patience and precision. Skill is universal; aesthetic is personal. The designs you want for aren’t to our taste but so what? You’re building for your taste. If you and your wife like that aesthetic then it’s the right one.

[@inventorj]

Dude your ability to weave creating content in with building your skills while working Mon-Friday is super inspiring.

[@maddiejolanders]

Now that’s a nice coffee table. Sleek AF!

[@byOldHand]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="78">1:18</a> 😂 I loved. Beautiful filming and craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing.

[@meganrichter9748]

This was one of my favorite videos! Beautiful woodworking and words of wisdom.

[@ocha9520]

I get what you mean about perfectionism getting in the way of decisions that may make a more interesting design. I think its important to have confidence in trying but to not be afraid of an outcome you didn't predict. obviously its different when its for a client or your wife who you dont want to let down but It would be pleasing to see you take more risks in your design, your craftsman ship is still that of an expert.

[@conorwright92]

Could watch this stuff all day long. So relaxing. Also, the final pieces are SO. FREAKING. NICE.

[@aundreagrieco7490]

This is the video I didn't know I needed... and I'm not all that interested in the act of woodworking. 10/10 !!!!!

[@pedrosuarez201]

I’ve watched this now 5 times. This is one of those videos that just have a beautiful story arc, and it makes it a pleasure to watch.

[@jonpaul4831]

Awesome video man. Such a pleasure to watch. So smooth and enjoyable.

[@Miniac]

What a beautiful story.

[@SeanMcDonagh-ek9zk]

I have just found your channel. I love your honesty. what a refreshing way to approach the craft

[@_csquare_]

This is great! My 1 year anniversary with my wife is coming up in October and I'm planning on making her a jewelry box. So this was definitely a fun video to get my hyped up!

[@slowwoodshop]

Incredible gift idea. Thanks so much for watching and good luck

[@slax4884]

She's beautiful, and your skills are excellent :)

[@crashkg]

Your channel is great. Lovely video and beautiful work.

[@moonlightsnowfall6734]

Best video I've seen in weeks, nice work. The glimpse at your relationship and the teamwork it took to figure out these projects was clutch. I'm pretty sure got the better deal, too, by the way. Its a good place to be.

[@rtrko1]

this is probably the best video i've ever watched on youtube, holy smokes. keep it up

[@HamletNOR]

Oh man, this channel is going to blow up. Great work - Both on the wood and the storytelling!

[@BellaSundqvist]

This is supercool! And it makes me inspired to do something similar but with my job as a digital designer. I really enjoy the relaxing and cinematic vibe of this video.

[@mattperillo]

Another awesome video! You have an excellent editing style and storytelling ability. Loved how you mixed in your thoughts on the process/design and even threw in a touch of marriage philosophy too, nice touch haha. And of course the furniture came out great - keep it up!

[@fritz4345]

Veeery nice! Sometimes we just have to do the stuff, we are supposed to do for a long time already. I know how that feels.

[@zacharyrassman]

I love your videos and how you can tell a story all while crafting beautiful pieces of art. I started watching your stuff ever since the Van Neistat video and it has also kind of inspired me to get into woodwork as well. Keep making more and more videos. Van and you have become my two favorite auteurs to watch.

[@suzyshein2113]

You have become one of my favorites to watch! Your easy style is sooo comfortable for the viewer- you are entertaining and informative!! Keep them coming

[@mehmetedex]

production is of the charts

[@cabman86]

Happy wife, happy life. Or so they say. She is such a cutie!

[@awesomepie2410]

Definitely want to see your first chair! Struggling to figure out chairs even after making a few. Namely batching then and cutting joinery on weird shapes 😅 can’t wait!

[@andrewryder8932]

amazing design, amazing video work, amazing people! keep these videos coming! i love that coffee table

[@BrigadierSmokey]

good work mate, love the vids keep em comin :)

[@Zephyra_X]

I like that the wood sounds happened in only 1 ear while the music played louder in the other. Made my brain tickle.

[@woutertol1]

Hey there! I've got to say, this channel might just be one of the best out there! I totally get that making such incredibly well-produced videos in such a short amount of time isn't a walk in the park. However, keep up the fantastic work-I'm eagerly looking forward to the next one! Cheers!

[@cruss9064]

dude the access to tools you have is incredible! keep up the great work i love your videos. im in the same stage of my woodworking career, and i can totally identify with the 'i'm not sure so i'll just ask everyone.' what ive learned- no one else knows any better! its all taste, so you might as well imprint you taste on your designs!

[@Thergood]

Great stuff! You definitely got the better deal 😜

[@shaunboydmadethis]

That was a great watch! And children's furniture is fun, so I say lean into it. Keep it up, man!

[@marting8841]

You're very talented. Please don't get burned out!

[@pennryan970]

You're so lucky to have one another

[@murraydutoit4626]

learning and beginning to design things myself too. I've found it helps to draw and try many different varied things in many different mediums to eventually, hopefully, find my thing.

[@howiespancakeshack]

LOVE these videos. So much effort. LOVE LOVE LOVE thee coffee table. Never stop.

[@ritzrocco494]

I love this guys mentality: thoroughness, vulnerability and awareness

[@geometricbass]

the coffee table came out sick. way to go!

[@sandikhader1801]

Beautiful work! Why is it that when company comes, I have 10 projects to do, including painting? Wife is a lucky woman❤

[@thomaswing-evans3381]

Lovely vibe to your videos.

[@samspinks4138]

love the through tenons on the table, really simple yet effective design

[@jasonberti7807]

Killer video, killer pieces...I hope your channel takes off, it is deserved!

[@abbiegrier207]

love the finished projects, reflections, and marriage talk amen about the marriage quote❤

[@jordi.nackan]

honestly ridiculous how good this videos is! I am stoked to catch up on your old videos and to see what you make next!!

[@Haladon]

Wonderful work all round man, keep it coming! Love it. X

[@chris-cx5dz]

I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for posting.

[@wafflebeaver]

I'm looking forward to seeing that chair!

[@juliah27]

love the music choice!

[@MarkFaldborg]

That big wood circle got me really excited for some reason. Great work!

[@cabman86]

If you don't have to overthink a project, it's not worth doing. I make keepsake boxes out of fallen tree limbs. Sometimes I will look at the limbs half a day before I decide what to do with them. I wish I had that band saw though. With the one I have, I can only cut 5" high.

[@thetalkingfly]

This is so great. I love your mix human stuff, cool ideas and the projects at hand.

[@beachthor1]

gonna need a track list for this. well done!

[@IngridMcLain]

What a beautiful video!!!! Everything turned out so nice!

[@ddllat]

Everything about this video is beautiful and inspiring!

[@Giustified]

Good job. Completing a project 100% is often very tough. And... "Perfection is the enemy of progress" - Winston Churchill

[@jean-philippelafont4577]

As a french viewer I can only congrat you for the France's map, and the witty design of your video. The table is neat! I'm so happy to have stumbled on your channel. J'ai hâte de voir d'autres vidéos.

[@jerryrudolph6603]

A minister asked the groom “would you rather be right all the time or happy all the time.” The groom answered correctly. Nice vid and Maddie appears to be a wonderful mate.

[@haanimely981]

Just discovered your channel and clicked because of the thumbnail

[@HellenAndYohei]

Amazing video, super well edited esp the music and audio! (of course shots were beautiful) And amazing furnitures!

[@graemej7029]

Dude. You are awesome! What a killer video!

[@masonhoza]

Dude, I love how you documented your raw feelings through this. So solid.

[@michaelwandling]

Loved the storytelling mixed with excellent craftsmanship. Instant subscribe! Thank you.

[@RetrieverWoodworks]

Well done! Keep ‘em coming.

[@skulz66]

came across this and omg I love this channel! love the builds and the cinematography as well!

[@alexschenck25]

Great video! Such a joy to watch! The dart joke was good 😉

[@emungai]

In terms combining life, family, and hobby/work and the narration of some relationship wisdom gives it a very Van Neistat-esk style videos. Also, you should've put "children's furniture" in my head. I can't see the table as anything else. 😞 But well executed.

[@MrGearMo]

Great videos man, your work is excellent

[@schwaar]

New favorite channel. Seriously, so beautifully done.

[@Curionimbus]

Crushing it in life, as well as woodworking I see; Kudos. Perfect is the enemy of good and indecisiveness/meticulousness are both a gift and a curse; May you find the equilibrium that allows you creative freedom, while constrained to the realm of a completionist. Looking forward to your next projects. Thanks!

[@keith4788]

Love the JLT clamps

[@henryruddell3856]

damnnn....this is good stuff

[@OxburgerStudios]

Great Stuff! I could watch this for hours. Beautiful wooden craftsmanship beautifully delivered via your filmmaking!

[@Big_Llama]

Ahhh one of my favourite new channels. Always so satisfying to watch!

[@shelterit]

It's stupid, but your videos fly by too fast. Love them. Love the pace. Love the human side, and the honesty. Great stuff.

[@chm1701]

When needing to make a decision on something, I notice that most people come up with their perfect idea in a few seconds (ish). Then, once that idea comes out, that’s when they start critiquing said design and start messing and coming up with a whole host of other ideas; muddying that first idea, so to speak. Generally, your first idea is actually correct, but people can be scared to go with it because they’re worried about making a mistake. So I’d recommend writing that first idea down (or sketching it), because you may find that the first idea was correct all along - even if it’s only a starting point. If not… we’ll, that’s just part of learning. If that makes sense. Keep up the great work. I’m really enjoying your videos.

[@mitcheroar]

Beautiful video, beautiful woodworking skills and absolutely stunning wife. You have the life of envy sir. Doing what you love all day everyday....

[@wyattmason7680]

Wonderful filming+editing, beautiful woodwork, and insightful thoughts on your process. Looking forward to the next video always!

[@BlakePizzey]

Loving this style of video -- very unique for the wood working niche on youtube. Keep it up!

[@DanielFar96]

I love this video!

[@GaryMeacher]

Came for the woodworking / meditation-like process video....stayed for the self-reflection and motivating self-talk you found along the way.

[@jumar360]

Those look great!
