There isn't anything I enjoy more than repurposing something someone else has thrown out. Or WATCHING someone repurpose something that was thrown out/discarded and making something beautiful from it. How satisfying!

[@3Dgifts]

Love your work and the fact you always help educate hobbyists. Other channels do their best to hide the dimensions and angles, etc, lol. I believe most people will buy plans if they like it and want to replicate the piece, or use the plans and slightly modify them. Thank you.

Just started my woodworking journey and happened upon your videos. Pretty easy to see why so many other youtubers reference you in their videos. Great videos, highly entertaining, and informative, especially for a novice that doesn't have thousands of dollars worth of tools. Really appreciate everything you're doing!

Matthew, I remember many episodes of New Yankee Workshop with Norm Abram starting a project with old reclaimed wood. Sometimes it was from old barns, one of the This Old House projects, logs that were at the bottom of rivers…. And it was just beautiful material once cleaned up. Of course, Nom could take any wood and turn it into something wonderful!

Wow wow wow. Such a beautiful job. Please also refinish the old bench to match, it would sand and stain up so lovely. Then you’d have two. I’m currently making an Adirondack chair out of old 2x3s I’d taken off a sofa base I’d added to help my mum get out of it and stop kids toys and pupper hair going underneath. Also made a fenced play area in our garden out of 4x4s from heavy duty pallets. Milled down into 2 inch x 1/2 inch slats and painted them with a different rainbow colour. Always get inspired watching your videos ❤️

Very good. Like it. Keep it up.

This rocker is great! I have a lot of 1 x scrapwood of different lengths and I think I may just have enough to try and make one. If I have enough, I may try to make a single rocker to go along with it, too. Thanks for this lovely idea!

I'm working on a shed that is built for free out of wood that I brought home from work over the years (framer for about 30 years)...beam cutoffs and old pergolas we have torn down. I am using only wood that is rotting from being in the yard for 8-10 years. I'm making the decay a feature and using timber pieces so that it won't rot in my lifetime. Sheated with ¾" plywood, this shed is built like a tank that looks like it's beaten to death. Everything is pre-weathered.

Well, two mistakes were made. 😂 Luckily, I caught them in time to fix prior to the glue setting. According to an old time woodworking buddy, it's the mistakes that remind us we aren't perfect, but also challenges us to fix without wasting wood. You handled it like a champ!!!😁
