I’m a 14 year old boy and for my 14th birthday my grandpa took me to get wood and I built my own work bench for my tools. Since then all I’ve done is find more and more of a loving for woodworking and your videos. I’ve used your videos for ideas I actually started with a $12 drill from harbor freight and I used my grandpas tools for that bench. Now I have a circular saw, miter saw, I just bought a table saw, I bought a drill press in November, I have numerous hammers, and I’ve got both DeWalt and Bauer for drills and all my cordless tools. I’ve used your videos for ideas and I’ve used those to help make money. The best part is I can watch your videos on my TV and don’t have to worry about any profanity. Thank you for all your hard work in making these videos❤

My 11 year old son has recently found a love for woodworking. He has also recently discovered your channel. He watches several, but all I hear about is 731. He appreciates the clean content, and so do I. He's a God loving kid and won't watch anything he shouldn't. So, thanks for keeping it clean. He just started making a mallet tonight. He's been making serving trays to sale for "tool money." I'm not gonna lie, it makes me proud as my pawpaw is a retired cabinet maker. I'm a steel fabricator, so I combine steel and wood. Anyhow, just wanted to let you know you have a huge fan in this kid.

There’s nothing more satisfying than making something cool from the scrap pile!

[jackie-mccallister]

I can't believe you'd add extra bonus projects!! LOL
Love the fact that you don't edit out the flubs... makes me smile!
Thanks for ALL the ideas (and for the bonus ones too, I guess.. 😁)

[bigdogwdc]

I liked them all, especially the paper towel holder and the frame with deer stencil. Another good stencil would be bigfoot! 👊🏻

Scroll saws love scrap wood. For those just getting into woodworking scroll saws are inexpensive, safe, and theres endless projects that can be made from what most wood call trash wood. There is a little learning curve, but even not so perfect pieces are useable. Great video Matt, keep em comin.

[jpmonterio]

I've recently started following you and your work. Matt, you are a great genuine guy and I don't get how anyone couldn't like ya. Thank you and I appreciate your videos. I've recently starting woodworking and building furniture for my own home. The dice set gave me an idea for another product you could sell well - Corn hole boards!

[planecrazywoodworking]

Great video Matt. I really appreciate that your scrap wood projects actually use scrap wood "normal" woodworkers might have. Thanks for putting in the effort you do, it's really inspiring for folks struggling to get things going with woodworking.

So glad and blessed to find this channel. I am a widow of a former woodworker and have wanted to learn about woodworking myself. I want to design home decor with Christian inspiration designs for people to use in their homes. You’ve given me some great ideas, thank you. I’m so blessed to have found your channel! God bless you for sharing your gift. It is truly a ministry to others.

[christophermackey]

Hi, Matt. I'm retired Englishman, settled in Mauritius. I've mostly worked in printing and woodworking, now have a reasonable workshop. I've done a few kitchens and small furniture items. I love your channel, and respect you very much for your helpful nature, and your faith. Godbless!

I took the 4x4 drops from the bunk beds I made and made enough dice for a "yard" set of yahtzee. Add a couple 5 gal buckets from home depot as dice cups and send the kids outside!

[rdRangerchapassist]

Blessings to you an family! Thank you for putting the effort to help us budding woodworkers. One thing lacking in society today are good mentors who want to share their desire, knowledge an experience. Thank you!!!

[chrismiracle]

Love the video. I've built plenty of things out of scrap wood. Most recently I build a small bookcase for a co-worker out of scrap pine wood I had laying around the shop. Thanks for the video keep em coming.

[bernarddouthit]

This is great! I always appreciate how you share practical advice on how to make things that are useful or that woodworkers can sell. All of the projects you suggested look cool, especially the Scrabble letters. Many of my family members are big Scrabble fans.

[matchurch]

Thank you for all your videos! I’m just starting out into woodworking and it’s truly awesome to watch your videos and see all the different designs and techniques you have and use for projects. Virtual fist bump for sure!

My woodworking experience started in high school shop class, so I didn't ever have to worry about drops since it wasn't my space being taken up!😂 Now that I'm in my own garage, these will definitely help tidy up the space, great video!

[nealthomson]

Back in the day, here in south africa as well as in any of the other british colonies.
There was a law that government building furniture had to be made from split wood, not cut. This made the furniture exceptionally strong and durable .

I have recently got hold of a whole lot of dark wood cupboard doors that i am going to have to sit and think out the box for because i just could not bring it over my heart to burn or to chuck this wood.

Thanx

TGC
Blessings:)

[timrosenthal]

That was great, thank you. I volunteer with special needs children and was looking for some nice projects we can make together. Perfect !

[sniffy]

[juancamelo]

God bless you for you sharing your knowledge. I enjoy your enthusiasm you express in your videos. I’m just starting some wood projects and I’m using what I learned in wood shop class in high school 39 years ago. OMG, I’m a slow learner or beginner, lol. Stay safe and God bless, keep up these awesome videos.
