Thanks for coming by Justin! Always a pleasure!

[@CallMeMabie]

I just wish you would've shared a Twix

[@FredMcIntyre]

Awesome stuff Chris! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

[@michaelrybak4189]

Learning that you have a full time job on top of "Make Everything" shouldn't be understated. That point alone just made me feel loads better about balancing a hobby/small business with a full time job. Thank you

Started following M.E. after flood of August 2021. I was going to local people’s homes to help with pumps and getting them back to normalcy. Saw his video and said ‘we’ had the most water on the island. Little did I know he was located next town over. Been a big fan ever since and inspired by all his work. I’m not as knowledgeable in all his areas, but I can relate that a lot I do is thinking outside the box. Another great video and hope to see more makers on this channel.

[@jimmydiresta]

Wow I love this guy.

[@CallMeMabie]

You should give him a follow

[@helderlage]

Hi I know most of the creators who have been interviewed on your channel. What you are doing is very generous, did you know that? CONGRATULATIONS... I hope your channel reaches its first million tomorrow. I'm just a spectator, I don't do anything :) ... accept a hug from the other side of the Atlantic - Lisbon, Portugal - EU

[@gregmize01]

Chris' channel is awesome! Love these interviews Justin!

[@edswanson3941]

Awesome content Justin!! I remember the first time I met Chris, Makers Camp 2019. I looked right at him and didn't know who he was until he started talking. Then I knew it was Chris from Make Everything Shop. Great job Chris!

[@protect.your.digits.creations]

I met Chris about 4 years ago at his shop and I immediately felt comfortable . He has a way to greet you and you feel comfortable . Since then I have been that guy who gets stuff that I know he needs , I pop up out of nowhere with it . He is a smart guy and will never belittle you for not knowing , he will say try this . Chris speaks of Jimmy and what he says is true but Jimmy is the conduit directing the flow of what you know and he push starts you forward . I have been saved form non creativity by Jimmy and will do what I can for Chris. PROTECT YOUR DIGITS CREATIONS is the bonfire OF Creativity fueled by Jimmy and Chris and some others . Thank you Chris

[@HonestReflections3000]

Amazing and inspiring. Always learning and loving what you do. WOW!

[@davebauerart]

Thanks Justin great video. Chris is 100% right, the curiosity and desire to keep learning makes connections to fuel our creativity and confidence to solve problems when we encounter a new situation.

[@margreetcevasco2073]

So impressed with your work, Justin, and equally proud of my son. Thank you.

[@CallMeMabie]

Thank you very much! I talked to Chris last night and it meant a lot to him that you enjoyed it so much which of course means a lot to me that you both get something out of it.

[@FredMcIntyre]

Awesome stuff Justin, Chris is awesome! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

[@CallMeMabie]

Thanks so much, Fred! 👊🏻

[@brandyaube217]

Chris always inspires me when we get to hang in person and this was just as inspiring as a real life chat! Great job Justin! Great job Chris!

[@CallMeMabie]

You’re the best, Brandy!

[@DudeSawdust]

Brilliant once again! Shame on KZbin for turning off my notifications to your videos. I just stumbled upon this and didn’t realize it was 3 months old. Rest assured, I turned them back on and very soon I’ll have to watch your Diresta video. I’m really looking forward to that one. Your channel is one of my very favorites. Thanks ☺️

[@CallMeMabie]

Thank you very much for this super supportive comment. I appreciate you continuing to follow along and I'm really glad you're enjoying these!

[@geoc1005]

AMAZING superstar Maker in Chris Zep and a really great presentation!! ❤But when does he sleep?

[@jekiel]

Great video on Chris. Have you considered making one of these on William Ng?

[@VoeltnerWoodworking]

What a great episode!

[@hp7093]

I would never have that building flooding like that

[@behindthemistakes]

Great documentary! :D

[@philmolineaux7757]

...certainly a man of your considerable talent and experience should be able to construct a shop on pilings or landfill well above the floodplain...

[@nickjones567]

Great vid guys!!!

[@CallMeMabie]

Thank you, Nick! I’m happy you enjoyed it

[@pj_fetscher]

One day, when I get a cnc plasma in my shop. The first thing I’ll make is a sign that says: “You never realize how much you need a bathroom until you need a bathroom.”

[@kansasspeedperformancellc6670]

would you consider yourself a structural engineer?

[@jeremyspecce]

I’m pretty sure he does not claim to be a structural engineer, I think he made a pretty big point about having a diverse set of skills and not focusing in on one skill, something a structural engineer would do. Chris can answer himself but if you are referring to where he said “I did the structural steel” I can assure that any work done in that establishment was properly designed/ engineered and permitted; this area is very strict with permitting and inspections and you would not get away with just throwing some steel up. I built a simple deck in this area and had to have full stamped architectural drawings in order to get a permit for it.
