Larry has been woodworking since the second grade and has built over 600 pieces for clients, family, and friends. He’s collected a massive inventory of tools in his dream workshop.

Great shop and tour! I really look forward to more videos guys. Cheers!

God is indeed great and has given you talents. Your thankfulness shows. Beautiful shop, just one thing missing. A shop dog lol. Every shop needs a dog. Dog spelled backwards is God. I’d love to see how you do the epoxy resin work. Good luck with your channel. 🤙🏻🤙🏻

[HappyCornPuffs]

Great video. Love it. Thanks for taking the time to explain everything in detail. Your shop is awesome. Can you make a video on epoxy for very beginners. I've done a lot with wood but would like to learn about working with epoxy. BTW, I'm a believer...awesome to see you speak about the Lord.

[kieronknott]

Not many wood workers who praise our creator 🙏 cannot wait to see more content god bless mate and great shop tour 👍🏻

For your aluminum table for epoxy, is the top a sheet of aluminum also? What size is the table and do you replace the tape every time and what tape are you using.

[dalerounds]

Nice shop, did you spray Foam the walls too?

[ericmetke]

What exactly are "hellican" planer blades? Are they better than traditional blades or helical cutters?

[kenf]

I see that you have a website selling your products, when do you get the time to do videos. I must be doing it wrong I'm to busy to be doing woodworking videos.

[gary]

Amazing guy but him hitting every tool was getting very annoying
