Its so cool that you're buddy who had a stroke just chills and enjoys being around the work he once did and still loves!

[Seagull]

Where does this guy get the music for his videos from? It's great.

Make sure your buyer gets a full feature length film of the build. Along with a complete set of final prints, with signatures from as many contractors and laborers as possible.

I've been in building for around 14 years now, Ive gone back to college to at 30 and am at the end of my apprenticeship. However most days I just can't get into the swing of things i don't slack but i'm generally all over the place and not thinking clearly, today was one of those days where i get home feeling foolish and wondering if i should carry on with it. these videos really help me find my passion again, i want to learn how to be more efficient and professional.

Hi everyone, I am 32 yo apprentice carpenter and I am absolutely amazed by the quality of Scott's work. Inspired to a point I didn't think carpentry would inspire me, even tho inspiration was my only motivation to professionally redirect after almost 10 years as a self employed tree climber.

I work with a small company that does pretty good work, I think, but what I am seeing in this series goes deeper, beyond what I get to learn as I am working. Loads of gratitude for you guys offering me the opportunity to quench my thirst for the highest quality possible.

Now 70 episode into the series I keep getting more and more interested and curious about the trade. Bought both "The Very efficient Carpenter" and "A Carpenter's life" which I slowly and simultaneously read between work, kids, wife and tree work side jobs that I have to do to keep up with the bills and stuff. Those books are work of wisdom and experience from Larry Haun and I feel like Scott brings similar contribution to our world but in a more techological way which makes it even more satisfying for the eyes.

Anyway, thank you very much for putting this series together. Beautiful editing, very good music selection and again, Oh Lord, the work is gorgeous.

Keep up the good work.

I can't express how much simple joy these videos bring, especially after spending several weeks at the hospital, at mom's bedside, as she slowly closes in the end of her life. It's a joy because I see something being born, with great care, and something that will nurture human lives for a long time after that. I won't ever build a house like this in my lifetime, but I think it's true that, with love, you can build just about anything. Thank you.

Scott, I'm thoroughly impressed with your old man strength and just tossing full OSB sheets onto the roof at awkward angles 2 stories up.

[kiwdwks]

Awesome to watch you work. You are an inspiration to all of us 60 year old + guys still working in the trades! Thanks for your videos.

[Slibemaskine]

Hi Nate and Scott, it was interesting to hear you mention you've already been doing this for a few years! Feels like yesterday that I discovered the channel with videos of smithing, sawmills, Cats and every video is a pleasure to watch. Please, 'keep up the good work'.

[jum]

Scott and Nate, I appreciate your humble recognition and thanks for the people who watch. It's not that I need it, but it demonstrates your humility and grace... something the world so badly needs to see more of (as well as the emphasis on quality and craftsmanship). Thank you!

[etiennemarais]

This soundtrack just gets better and better every time. This series is very informative and so satisfying to watch. Thank you and keep up the good work

[waugsqueke]

I love the music in this and many of the latest videos. Do you buy it or have someone you know do it for you? Seem to recall Scott is a guitar player.

[geraldmonette]

Really enjoying this series, he's quite the carpenter, really nice to see him work and he explains everything nicely a real pro

[markbeers]

Absolutely enthralled by your patience and perseverance through the detail work. As a veteran tradesman of over 30 years, I've come to know the importance of thinking through the building plan, and paying attention to the detail work. You guys are knocking it out of the park with this project! I'm familiar with the press of making progress, and reaching certain milestones, and I've also learned that you must take the time to BREATHE when an opportunity presents itself. I'm thoroughly enjoying the videos, and am learning some cool stuff along the way! Thanks for all of your efforts...and keep up the good work

[ZENO]

This is DEFINITELY NOT typical spec. house build quality. It seems like something that EC plans to live in. Very nice work.

[rossbuchanan]

I absolutely love this series. Don't know if its the super house design, or the music, or Scott's calm way of telling us what is going on, scattering wisdom, experience and advice like sawdust, but one way and another its kept me sane through the very wet winter, and now in the lockdown.
Thank you EA.

[dannybrazil]

I know Working with a true professional like yourself motivates and it makes the work very rewarding.

[DanielGonzalez-unrz]

When I mention burke bar and people look at me confuse, I feel good that I'm subscribed to essential craftman.

[J-WHO]

The sad part is most of this beautiful hard work gets covered up and in most cases when it’s good work never gets seen again. Thank goodness for video!

[jefff]

You and Nate should be very proud of all your good work. You’ve made a positive impact on my life. Thanks
