WOODWORKING, SAWHORSES! ALL JOINERY!

[@bettersleep.betterfocus]

Hey Jesse, that pomp and bravado was what kept me coming back to the samurai. Over here in england we call it a good sense of humour screw anyone who doesn't get that. Joined up to the school and just built my workshop in my garden, lets do this. 💪

[@TheSamuraiCarpenter]

Let's Do it Brother!

[@piousminion7822]

Not many have the courage to show emotion like you did. Bravo man. You deserve every bit of the support and love you have received.

[@rickpatterson5101]

You're a bad ass. The one build that blew me away and shows what takes you to a level few have been to was your live edge dining table. Thanks for sharing your massive talent with all of us.

[@MarcSmiles]

I am not a carpenter or any kind of similar work. But I am watching your videos since the beginning bro... It's the "art" in you that takes apart from everything else, plus your passion and persistence... I am seeing you growing day by day, month by month, year by year.. My dad is an artist and can see that piece of instinct that makes you special... ❤️

[@mech-E]

Your optimism and genuine heart is likely what makes your channel and you so successful.

[@brandonhampton3533]

Super happy your doing so well!

[@brendank1272]

Jesse you are an amazing man and an incredible individual. My brother and I have watched every video from the beginning and you have inspired me so much as a both a man and a future husband and father. Never doubt that you touch so many people with your incredible skills. Stay sharp Samurai.......

[@nicholassoldan8281]

What keeps people watching and supporting is the fact your real and we see the heart you put into the work you do, no phoning it in with you.

[@AGlimpseInside]

Jesse, I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to say hello, I’m a father of three and have been following you for quite some time now. My style is nothing like yours in woodworking however you were definitely one of the craftsman to give me inspiration to start my channel! Thank you so much for the inspiration in the creativity you have given all of us! Chris,

[@AGlimpseInside]

Cousin Justin that’s a shame because I’m a really nice dude!! Haha!! Thanks for letting me know cousin!

[@threeque]

He's not worried, just doing some marketing for his own channel.

[@AGlimpseInside]

threeque well that’s one way to look at it I suppose. Wasn’t the intent but who knows! I typically market on instagram, Twitter and Facebook. I was genuinely expressing gratitude to him. By all means though check the channel out!

[@threeque]

I just did, love your gate idea. Pretty cool time saver and looks pretty good too.

[@AGlimpseInside]

Cousin Justin it’s strange that he is known for not responding... maybe the technique is...he’s playing hard to get😂

[@2000willsome]

Supporting you has been a pleasure. I'm so happy that your years of perseverance is paying off.

[@GaetanBAILLEUL35]

Jesse, i'm following your videos since about a year now. I'm not a carpenter. I just love to see people like you working with this wonderfull thing that is wood. If i was to quit my actual job i think i would come back to school to learn this way of life (because it's not only a job, it's a passion !). I'm not the king of personn who leave comments in every video. On the contrary, i'm descret. I see now in this video that you seem to have been through a lot of hard time. And i just wanted to tell you, don't quit. Don't doubt yourself. Have faith ! Because you are a wonderfull soul. You have to see that you have an amazing talent (and you do it with fun too... which is excellent !). I don't know if i'm understandable (because English is not my first language, i'm french), but this message is to lift your heart up. You are an inspiration Jesse ! Keep doing what you do the best ! Put all your best in it. That way you'll have no regret and will still be proud of yourself ! By the way thank you because thanks to you i descovered another personn that i'm following too (Alec Steel). Thanks Jesse !

[@TheSamuraiCarpenter]

Thank you. Much appreciated.

[@rollingstone3017]

Beautiful Samurai Ponys! Love the Japanese flair.

[@kurtfattig9370]

Love your work. Love your videos. Love your passion for the craft - woodworking AND KZbin. Blubber on, bubba. We love ya!

[@marionuscaa]

Wow. Touching Video. It's not every day you see a Person shed years on KZbin because he's that grateful. You're the Man!! I Love You're channel. Keep doing You're thing Samurai! Thanks so much for doing what You do. You are an Artist My Friend!

[@latenightwoodworker3283]

Joined maker's mob. Best thing I ever. I am learning new things everytime I get on.

[@insightfulintrovert]

Jesse, I just wanna say I love what you do and who you are. You are a man of character and an amazing artist to say the least. It takes courage to show such vulnerability, especially in such a public domain. I've been watching your videos since you started and you never fail to inspire me. I very much admire you. Unfortunately I'm not in a position to participate in your school just yet, but I hope the opportunity is still there in the future. In the mean time, I hope you achieve everything you're after in life and business. You've got heart man - best wishes!

[@alflud]

Due to family problems I once dropped out of a course I was in right at the end, a couple of months before we were due to take the final exam. I'd spent the guts of 3 years on that course and had made many good friends - I shouldn't have been surprised but I was when 3 of my 'classmates' showed up at my front door one Saturday morning to literally beg me to go back. We were so close to the end they said, they knew I was going to blaze through it, they'd spoken with the administration and got them to agree that I could go back and take the tests, they'd managed to get my home address and then traveled half way across the country to get me. It hit me like a ton of bricks, right there in front of them, the thought that these people cared ... it brought me to tears in an instant. Let's be honest though, we care about your work too because it's fucking awesome! Your style is amazing.

[@MRSketch09]

Those are some good people you met.

[@bluewren65]

There's a lot of rubbish people in this world, but a lot of good ones too! I reckon you're one of the good ones and the others recognised that and didn't want to let go of a precious friend if they could help him/her out. Thanks for that story, it made me smile.

[@johnbinns6880]

How do you stack them ???.

[@bsforge]

Jesse, Congratulations on the success of your school! Perhaps one day I will be in a place where I can join up with you guys and bring my woodworking skills up to snuff! However, I am currently learning to be a blacksmith. I’ve done an exhaustive search for any and all information on forging Japanese chisels and planes. I just can’t seem to find any resources about these particular topics. Do you happen to know of any makers, books, videos, etc. that you could recommend so I can begin learning how to craft these beautiful tools? Thanks in advance, Ben

[@bluewren65]

Anyone who couldn't see that the pomp and bluster was pure showmanship and meant to be comical is a dope. You have succeeded because you have all the right ingredients: a bit of showbiz pizazz (but not too much), great material and information, but most importantly, a genuine love of woodworking and your mission to promote and foster a great crafts tradition. Any and every success you have had has been hard earned and well deserved.

[@trevoredgar8531]

As a carpenter watching this, I constantly realize how much I have to learn. Amazing work.

[@danmottesheard5294]

I really enjoy watching you succeed and mature. from the 62 yr old machinist turned wood worker congrats!!!

[@LGrabingerJr]

Jesse, I have been watching your journey for a few years now. I am a small business owner in central Ohio. I am a remodeling and Renovation contractor and a Craftsman. I really appreciate your honestly, talent and effort you have shared with us. I am regretful that I was not able to join the Online School Journey. I still look forward to watching more of your videos and sharing with us you passion for wood working. I just wanted to say Thank You for what you have done so far and keep up the great work. I wish the best for you and your family.

[@a.d.squality2939]

Hey mate, I'm a carpenter from Australia I've been following you for over 2 years now. And I just wanted to let you know that you are an inspiration not only to myself but to so many others. When I have a hard day on the tools and feel like giving up, you've helped me to push and better myself and my workmanship. Keep up all of your hard work and I wish you all the best for your school of Samurai! 👍

[@brendandouglas-henry905]

Hey Jess great video thank you for your continued support for your KZbin channel these mini builds vids are fantastic. I thought you were just going to put stuff up on your school going forward. But you've stayed true to your original fan base - you are da man!

[@motorman7976]

Your chisel work is a thing of beauty, makes me want to be a better woodworker.

[@Rag0]

Just wanted to let you know how much of an inspiration you are, not only when it comes to carpentry. I just finished my bachelor degree in architecture, but having watched your videos though the past years i decided to become a carpenter anyway.

[@xtramoist9999]

Can't support you financially but you, Mr Samurai Carpenter, have earned our love and respect! Your passion is an inspiration! Take all my empathy and love! *Throwing empathy and love in the air*

[@handsandfeethomestead9116]

Samurai, it has been an amazing journey thus far. I am so excited to follow along in your next chapter. Your integrity has always been appreciated. You have inspired so many people. THANK YOU!!

[@Brandobeesandwood]

Thanks for sharing your talents and your true emotions. I really would of loved to join the school but at this date I have to support my 3 kids also. I wish you nothing but success in your growth as a woodworker, teacher and most importantly a husband and father. I always get inspired watching you share your craft as I am sure many others do as well. Thank you!

[@johnmarkthomas7398]

Hey man, Just a fellow woodworker from Central Georgia but wanted to say you've had a huge impact on me and my woodworking skills. I've followed you for a good while now and quality and skill just flow from everything you do! I feel and share your heart in everything you've said because I have the same passion for woodworking and want to continue learning and building. I'm so happy for you and the success you're experiencing with the Woodworking School! You've earned it and I wish you all the best!! Keep on keeping on brother!

[@marcalmarcos9]

Four years ago i was in Vancouver BC and random found the channel and subscrible to try get in touch with the canadian accent while watched a artist working , back to brazil I still watch every single video and wait every single week for a new one . thank you for shering your dream.

[@johnniegarrrell9566]

Just keep on keeping on. You have shown an amazing journey here on you-tube. It thrills me to see a young man with the will and pride to work with your hands and produce some of the gorgeous pieces you have made. The Old Man.

[@jandeeg152]

You're a loudmouth softie with a heart of gold and apparently the viewers love you to pieces, I can understand why!

[@basvanderhoeven3234]

Holy cow, how could anyone troll you?! Your work is unreal, you are a real inspiration.

[@Bergalicious38]

I have to admit, the first time I watched one of your videos...it was by accident. I was trying to learn about my heritage. My mom had died and my dad told me that she was from a long line of samurai...blew me away. Then, he died. I'm 55 and I think my memory must be failing. I remembered you being outside of a garage, but you had the same tools that my mom had. I thought, "What a weird idea!", but I've never been able to stop watching! You are cocky, but you are humble. You don't see a mix, like that, often. My husband is like that...only he calls it 'the kavorka'. It's a Seinfeld thing. You can KZbin search it. I'm really enjoying the classes. It's like touching the shroud of Turin. Not really...but close! Hahaa! Fist pump and congratulations on your "sweet" victory.

[@TheSamuraiCarpenter]

Thank you!

[@Bergalicious38]

Arigato to you!

[@lifelearner84]

Jesse I can’t overstate how much you have inspired me. I’m chomping at the bit but not in a financial position to be able to get onboard with the school right now, but dammit man I see your heart and of all of the woodworking channels I watch, and I watch all the big ones, there has always been an awe I feel after I see your work, I always feel inspired and I have a sense of wonder and just pure... that thing you can’t even really articulate when you see how beautiful a piece can become. You have an incredible way of making wood speak. I hear it. Thank you for everything you do. I hope to have the opportunity to join your school one day.

[@ceeg93]

Glad to see a fellow woodworker having success in chasing his dreams. Keep working hard, and take the time to step back and take it all in.

[@MrMorgsan]

What goes around - comes around. Since you share your passion and love for woodworking with all of us it’s no mystery that your woodworking school is a big success. Congratulations man!

[@CodeFoxAus]

Congrats Jesse! Hope it continues from strength to strength for you and your family.

[@barstad-9591]

Way to go, Jesse. Don’t lose sight of the fact that there would be no successful school without YOU!!!

[@EmpatheticOne]

Don’t tear up, we are already are here for you!!! Keep up the great work and never lose your work ethics’s!!! I just got fired and asked for another position in the company, and I got it! Positive thinking is the only thinking. I thank you for your dedication!!! Never fret! Might of D

[@chrissarantos7929]

Your work is phenomenal and you seem like a good and caring human being. You deserve all the success that comes from your hard work and effort. Congratulations!

[@Yes-Man]

I already wrote it once, your videos were the reason for me to start woodworking. And yes, I also started with saw horses because of your first video. And maybe now I'm building a second set. Keep up the good work and being awesome.

[@brettguthrie4705]

Great job with the Sawhorse. I'm glad the school is a great success wishing you all the best there mate. Cheers from Down Under.

[@silasmarner7586]

The Samurai is successful because of your hard hard work and the way you share it. Thank you!

[@iantarncarpentry4285]

I'm a carpenter from England, your work is amazing! I can't get enough of your videos. Truly inspiring. Keep up the good work.

[@ethanrobertson8921]

I'm thrilled to be a part of the class and to be able to support you!

[@timmcneil3476]

Samurai you are The MAN. Haters hate because they can't be like you. I started woodworking a little over 3 years ago and you have hands down been the person I've learned from and looked up to the most. I'm always waiting for the next video. Point is you deserve all the success you aspire to have and will have.

[@stephenwismer5876]

Many thanks to you Jesse for just being you on this channel, your an inspiration for more than just woodworking, look forward to enjoying the journey with you and all the other passionate woodworkers at the Samurai school.

[@rodgerkunkle1847]

Congratulations on the success of the school. I’ve been watching your videos for a long time now. My wood working skills have improved dramatically because of it. Thank you for doing what you do. I wish you success in all your future endeavors.

[@neillsmart213]

Kia Kaha! Be strong, be what you were meant to be! A privilege to watch your creations 😎

[@kuuphone3193]

I've watched this channel for a long time now. I've yet to get started in my own plans but even when it's been a few months since the last video of your I've seen, your methods always pop into my head as I think up a project. I plan to build my own cabin, and build my own house some day if I can swing that. And I know that if I get there, and get what I want, in part, it will be thanks to you, your channel, your methods, and your attitude. I know this video is a bit older but I'll definitely be taking part in the future. I've had a lot in my plate and things always get in the way, but I really love the school idea and the progress I've seen even since this video has been posted. Your channel is doing awesome. I hope I get to watch you make new things for many many years to come.

[@stpariah9609]

As a non-schooler, South-Eastern US carpenter that’s been watching for a while, all I can say is congratulations. All of us are really proud to see how far you’ve come and can only keep looking forward to your bright future.

[@lucfunicelli3009]

i wish i could give 10 thumbs up or 1 million. I have seen every single video and not once i doubted you. You do so much amazing work. You have inspired me to make better projects. Everything you make is a work of amazing art and creativity. Your the type of person that many people would like to thrive to be. Keep on going and never stop. Much love fellow Canuck

[@donsmallegan1457]

Keep on keeping on young man! You are a fantastic teacher and I love your channel!

[@timothypaulson6779]

Two sawhorses and a piece of glass would make a beautiful dining table. I never miss a video, you are a true craftsman and a rare human. I look forward to what you will do in the future.

[@stephenrock-wc6xt]

Small but meaningful victories Jesse, steady as she goes!!! Have a blessed one those are the best ones!!!

[@ramonweijers5666]

Man, YOU ROCK!!! I've been following you since the beginning, and I've always liked your style. Big mouth, big ego, but a good and small heart. And then there is your talent, because that is what you definately are: very, very talented. Then there were the haters and you had a rough time. I'm really happy that there were people who could help you and your family out. I wish I could've done the same, but unfortunately I wasn't able to do so. I'm happy to see things are looking up for you now and that your school is such an amazing succes! Keep up all the good stuff, including the big mouth, and I'll follow you to the end!!

[@geleffable]

Tomorrow ill break ground on building my own house. I woulndt have even considered it if I hadnt begun watchingyour videos. And then you make this. Just the thing I need to practice before I start making the frame. Thank you.

[@LudwigHohlwein1974]

You deserve the love of your fans. All the best and I look forward to more great work. Peace

[@DanGamble]

So glad it's working out for you dude. I think you underestimated how many people value what you do and understand where you're coming from. I get it, trust me, life's tough being a kind hearted smart arse.

[@chasmj3268]

These are nice, and very much like the ones you made a while back. I built a pair loosely based on the first set I saw on your channel. The first time I used them, I tried to clamp my work piece to the horse on the end of the cross bar, outside the stile. But the angled cut on the underside of the cross bar made that difficult. I recommend a shorter angle near the very end, leaving a horizontal underside to attach the clamp to. Not as pretty, but more functional.

[@tyleradams4975]

The first video I ever saw of yours is where you build your beautiful work bench and I just simply was amazed and wanted to see more and before that I had little to no interest in woodworking and after I saw that video I just wanted to be able to do what you do. So keep on killing it man we all are amazed by your work

[@mirokokos3617]

Jesse. I am sure about that you deserve all the good things that happened and I hope that you and your family will have much more of them. 👍

[@pursuitofthecraft5100]

Love these sawhorses! Great job turning your dreams into a reality!

[@jeremyyanke7953]

First of all inspirational! I really love how you speak to your high's and low's! We all struggle once in a while. Being able to admit to our daily struggles and speak openly about it is what brings people together really. You should be proud samurai !
