Tribulations of a perfectionist. When you know its not quite right.... It will stare at you every time you go near it.

[richardpatterson]

Well, no one will ever notice, except you...and few million on YouTube.

I love these repair videos! Thank you

[regibson]

Nice to see you working with a little bigger projects. Hope you're feeling better.

I really enjoy these home/furniture repair videos

[BowenMarmot]

I really enjoy fixing things. Giving them new, extended life. I really appreciate videos like this because the troubleshooting and making a plan on how to do something is the creative part and I can learn much from how you approach it.

[EMTdrummer]

One thing I love about your videos is the honesty.... everyone, and I mean EVERYONE has things that don't come out right. I think watching the creative approaches you take helps me keep batting those challenges repairs, builds and make-overs that make this hobby fun... keep it up!!

[burntsider]

I understand the human weakness of seeing what's wrong, rather than what's right. Every project I do has a flaw and that's what I see when I look at it. Good fix. I always learn some technique when I watch you videos. Thanks for what you do.

[StudioMedia]

I hope you continue to feel better! Not only because I understand the pain and frustration, but I love having project videos again!

Even if it’s not perfect to your high standards, you definitely have made it better than what it was. Thanks for inspiring us

[ashstagwoodworking]

Very clever of you to work with the circle to find your center again! Great restauration Matthias!

[Onihikage]

"It bothers me that it isn't perfect."

Matthias really _gets me, _ you know?

[natparker]

Something about your channel where I can’t seem to get enough of you fixing wooden things!
Thanks

[EdwardJKeuer]

Gosh, thank you Matthias. I have learned so much from you and usually am overwhelmed by what you accomplish. To hear you say “not a perfect job” lets me know you ARE human after all. Great channel, Matthias, my sincere thanks to you.

[AndreaArzensek]

Great lesson on how we don't see errors unless we created them ourselves.

[warrenwilson]

Nice to see you back at it. Hope that your healing is complete.

[WoodUCreate]

After you were done, I thought it was better than new. Loved the circle trick too.

[StanCrafted]

Good to see you in the shop again, Matthias.

[ZeedijkMike]

Repairing instead of throwing away. That's the way forward.
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Matthias, you've taught me something new today... I never knew it was easier to screw the bolts in to those thread inserts first and then screw the whole thing in to the cavity! I always used a large flat bladed screw driver and wondered why a lot of my thread inserts would get destroyed that way! :)
