[@chickenmama4670]

This was a great video. Our world needs more families like you all. Homemade gifts a so much better than store bought.

[@missouribroad978]

I started crying too, so sweet ❤

[@beealll3475]

Now that is what giving from the heart is all about! Beautiful job Andy, you made me cry too❤️

[@mi-gunnar-pvt1866]

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL HEARTFELT GIFT FROM A GREAT MAN. I LOVE SEEING THE LOVE YOU TWO SHARE. GREAT WORKMANSHIP

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

thank you

[@mickeymcafee7615]

I needed this tonight. I remember my dad who was a carpenter making my mom surprise things. Like nite stand, custom cabinets and well anything. I did the same for my wife who passed away. Its great to see a couple do fir each other. Life has its problems. Lord knows. But having an appreciation of a loving partner makes it all easier.

[@jbart5186]

Wow, I teared up when I saw your heartfelt surprise and thankfulness Meagan. Brother you were spot on with this gift, well done and happy you and your family are able to enjoy this farm-made treasure!

[@grumpyoldman7948]

Man, I'm glad you didn't burn that. Great job!

[@glendabenard3772]

That is just so beautiful. Maggie I know you are so very proud. And you decorated it so pretty.

[@jhutto3814]

Oh no, never use cedar for fire wood. Such beautiful wood. When we cleaned my mom's house out and moved her up here with me, a cedar chest and chifferobe she bought when I was probably 4 or 5 was falling apart. The boards were glued together back then. My sister said you could use it for fire food. I said OH NO! I'll have it restored. OMG, that set is so beautiful, and my childhood memories could never be replaced. Good job Andy.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

That shelving unit is worth more than money. You did a great job with surprising your wife Andy. Stay safe and keep up the great videos and fun around there. Fred.

[@patrice1966]

Awesome job on the beautiful shelf Andy!

[@josephshade2037]

[@Rich386a]

Good job Andy....

[@marilynwitherell186]

Great job Andy

[@JW-bz4eo]

To see young folks continuing and appreciating the old ways today is dang near like finding a unicorn. The love and effort put into that shelf and the joy it brought her that you thought enough to put in the effort..... Well let's just say Walmart ain't got no TVs that big 😅. So many folks today just don't understand.

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

[@debramehan8644]

I am a wood worker. As a woman i took alot of razzing early on. But it brings so much joy to the heart to see what things turn out to be. Cedar is my favorite wood. Your shelves are gorgeous. Andy did a great job. The little imperfections he was trying to show you is what makes it his. Makes it special. I hope he loves his new found hobby and i hope you love it too. Thank you for sharing this with us.😊

[@helenlazoga1487]

Nothing beats a present made with loving hands. Well done Andy, hats off to you. Great video.. Loved it.!!!!

Those shelves are simply georgous Andy. You were bleasing your sweet wife Megan, and God blessed you with the idea he had waiting for you. You can't outgive God. It's impossible.😊❤

[@Laura95000]

BEAUTIFUL wood-work on those shelves Andy! What a precious husband! Meghan’s reaction told her heart! So sweet! God Bless you guys!

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

You did good Andy. That is beautiful and the great thing is you made it out of lumber cut from logs that could have been firewood.

[@lindasaum9577]

Oh I think it’s beautiful. I need one for setting my plants on.

[@beckymoore2401]

I think y’all are a wealth of knowledge. I am 72 years old and have learned so much from you. You both work so hard for your family and I absolutely love seeing all the hard work you put into your family and your homestead! I love how you are training your children to carry on this sustainable life. You are a breath of fresh air! I love your sweet little family!

[@christymartin3846]

Dude, amazing carpentry work 🎉❤ beautiful cedar! Here in Mississippi you’re not supposed to cut nor burn 🔥 cedar or Magnolia trees, without permission. 😂 around here though, when it comes to local, it’s better to ask for forgiveness than permission ❤😂 I thank your family again for sharing your life with us! It’s such a blessing to share in your love and joy, for living an all around healthy lifestyle ❤❤

[@sharonneal8096]

Oh Andy, that’s beautiful!! Megan is one happy wife:) we ladies love our shelves! It looks great Megan, you’ll be rearranging on and off for weeks! Haha,.. that cedar finish is so pretty, enjoy. Merry Christmas and happy new year. We really enjoy your channel!,and appreciate you.

😮Wow love this good jop love wood beautiful ❤️❤️ thanks for helping daddy 😁😅😅

[@oops8985]

GREAT WORK! I love WOOD! You can always add shelves with pegs or shelf pins. Just drill a few holes on each inside wall and place pegs/pins and shelves where you want. Cedar is always a beautiful wood. I do all I can with any wood I get my hands on, even make my own tool handles. I recently found an old hatchet and am making a new oak handle for it. BLESS Y'ALL!

[@jacintheandrews4985]

Brought tears to my eyes. Beautiful present. Merry Christmas.

[@ritasnider2998]

It’s beautiful, God bless and keep your precious family
