We need more genuinely good hearted people like you on this planet. thank you

[JustMinenow]

You probably won't see this because the video is a year old already but I'm glad you didn't give up when everything went sideways at different times. You are interesting to watch and a good storyteller and I like the pieces you make, they have character. I am a 46-year-old mom and grandma who just got started woodworking and refinishing furniture and I hope to start a YouTube channel as well, so you showing how things can and will go wrong but you still chose to keep going is nice to see, not everyone is willing to tell the struggle they just want it to look like they made it right away and it was so easy and they are just so good at everything. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that some of us appreciate the battle and it gives the rest of us hope that just maybe we can do it too, so thank you for that. Good luck on the rest of your adventure and God bless!

The way you gave the path finder table to your mother in law was absolutely heartwarming. You give me hope in my own creative process!

[YudiMuchanis]

Sir, this is one of the best 2 hours and 48 minutes I've ever spent on YouTube. Thank you :)

WOW!!! The Pathfinder table almost made me cry tears of elation!!! Absolutely the most BEAUTIFUL sewing table I have EVER seen in my Life! I am a long long time seamstress (started at 11 yr old, now 73) and I am drooling over your jaw-dropping creation. I wish I had a special someone that gave me a table like yours. It's stunning!!!! You have real creative talent Jasper. 💯💯💯

[woodcraft]

Couldn’t stop watching! The mark of a good craftsman is fixing things when it goes wrong. Brilliant

[jgsanchezm]

Jesper, nothing stops you. I admire your tenacious free spirit!

[NAFO_Badger_Brigade]

A handyman's work is never done!!! These projects are pure genius!!!

[AllIsWellaus]

31:13 the table brings up feelings and memories of the artwork, the woman in gold.

[ValleysOfNeptune]

This man decided to start ignoring that little voice we all have that says. No, you cant do that... and started taking action 😊 you are inspirational.. go the human spirit 💪❣️

[ryanmcewen]

Glad you left the mistakes you made so others can learn from them. Plus how you was completely honest means tons. Thank you.

[Eleivana]

How did I get here? OK. Anyway I couldn't turn it off. I am a 69 yr old grandmother. Not a woodworker. But I love the self effacement, commentary & humor as much as the creativity. I think your mission statement should be:
HINDSIGHT IS 20/20
Great job and keep going! Thumbs up and subbed.

[oklahomasyclone]

I just want to say that your pallet table is absolutely awesome! It is truly, a one of a kind, piece of art! It looks great in your office and I hope it gives you decades of enjoyment! Very well done! 👍

[jeristaley-earnst]

I don't think you can ever see the true and full beauty of something until you see it built.

[AZbone]

Jesper, I can’t express how much I enjoy your videos. They are more than just woodworking, they are stories with passion. Your videos have given me so many ideas and most importantly, they give me motivation! Thank you for sharing the real side of learning.

[nayminthu]

i just came across this video randomly and man... i still can't find my words how awesome this is. thank you for being you and letting the rest of us experience all from here. cheers!

[JohnBeres-uf]

Jesper, Thank you. I have wanted to get into woodworking for years. I'm kind of in the same situation you were. I'm moving in this direction. But regardless of that, I love your videos, your humor, and your humility. Be well and be strong like a Viking.

[ronniemartin]

Jasper is a ROCKSTAR. Entertaining and he makes his own rules. Keep up the good work J-Rock. 😅😊

[c.b.]

Not a wood worker. Just someone who really enjoys watching the creativity of others. Repurposing! Yes! PLUS you're videos are well edited - excellent work - and entertaining. Appreciate the unconventional, can do approach!! Fun
And COME ON everything is really beautiful.
