Why I had to delete my recent videos.

[@VCGConstruction]

Real shame a few rotten people can spoil the comment section enough that a series of videos needs to be removed. Not only has Richards time and resources been wasted, but also an opportunity for people to gain knowledge from these videos has been stolen. Think of all the young people that are inspired by Richard’s drive for perfection, a single view (or lack of) could change the course of their paths! As a child I was inspired by TV programs that featured home improvements, where I be if I didn’t have access to to those shows?

Sorry to hear about your situation. It would have been a great series. I’ve followed you for years and seed you grow with your skills. I have learned so much from you. Thank you .

[@ChevyDex315]

I’m a painter and before I found this channel we really had the mindset “do your best, caulk the rest” but Richard’s channel really made us take a step back and learn to take pride in what we do and how we do it.

[@MattBangsWood]

Professional take on this. We've had to remove stuff as well due to privacy issues. It's a bummer that there was negative that caused this! People can suck sometimes..

[@jeremyburch5850]

Sorry to hear that, Richard. You've consistently put out fantastic content and I've learned so much from you. I've even been brave enough to tackle wainscoting with my own custom mouldings in my dining room! Keep up the great work!

[@jerryleejohnsonjr1377]

I hardly ever comment but maybe I should change that to drown out the jerks. Love your work.

[@jamesp13152]

Same. Love watching but rarely comment. Shame some people ruin it for others

[@B-Blues]

​​@@jamesp13152yeah, but that's not really what this is about. Nothing in the video identifies who the people are, therefore no one would ever know who it is they are commenting on. And they're pretty rich, I'm surprised they're reading comments here. Definitely more to the story. But this is good enough for most.

@@B-Blues I'm guessing the construction company did not like the exposure especially if anything was done that could be called into question or outside the regs etc. They are just protecting their investment.

I post projects on Facebook and take the same precautions about not revealing personal info (family pictures, addresses).

As a DIY guy remodeling my home as well as family and friends, you have shown me many carpenter tips. It's sad some people have nothing better to do than troll. Please don't let them get to you, you do amazing work and it's very helpfull to people like myself.

Sorry to hear that because its always nice to see trades people doing nice work and taking the time to explain things which helps others learn finish carpentry. The methods and sequence of how doors are hung, base, case installed. Then implement them into their own work ethic. One a good note your still on the job. As a retired LA building inspector my district was Bel Air and Brentwood. On most sites the rules were any sub or any employees that did that most of the time it was you or any employee last day on the job.

I have been watching you videos for several years and can not imagine anyone having problems with your content. You are one of the best if not the best trim carpenter I have ever seen. I pick up something from every project produced.

[@chrisavcs]

That’s such a shame, I have been watching you since before Covid, and it occurred to me that the only comments I have made have been negative/questioning the way something was done. I’m grateful for the content, and I’m going to miss that build cause that’s exactly what I like to see as someone who has been on job sites for a long time. For 4M I guess I wouldn’t want to see the “ugly” side of making it work, the hammering drywall did it for sure.

I was telling my son about that video at how well you framed that window out because he was doing one in his house. I went back to find it and it wasn't there and I told him that they must have taken it down .

[@patrickkranz578]

As a long time viewer who has learned so much from your videos, I just want to thank you.

Keep up the good work and don’t let the haters get you down.
