I cannot believe how crazy it is that your video came along right after my wife and I discussed upgrading her craft center. She described exactly what you have produced. Great video as usual and now I am off to get your plans. Thanks Brad.👍

With the editing, commentary/writing, and your personality, it makes it easy to say that I’ve added another channel to my regular watching list. There’s a subtle meticulousness in both your woodworking and your video creation. I appreciate you, keep up the good work!

Take note potential Content Creators, Brad here perfectly illustrates the, "it factor" for making a living doing this. From his humble and willingness to point out the mistakes he makes during his projects, to making fun of himself on his poor previous prepwork while painting his son's room, he show's a genuine honest and humble trait that many will connect with. This will draw people to his video's who might not otherwise be interested in wood work. Great channel!

How did you secure the shelves to the wall? If I missed that step will you include the time stamp. Thx Great video

[taylorvanbuskirk]

Your workshop is off the chart! Wow! So organized! So complete! So beautiful!

Quoting the Offspring in a building video, awesome!

This is really cool. It's basically what I have been thinking about for my family room. I have one big massive wall that I want to do built ins to house all of our dvds and games (we have a huge collection of old school consoles), books and board games. Thanks, Brad!

So good to see wood workers getting back in to it after covid hit and sky rocket wood prices. Great work!!! The the realness you bring to the channel when you make mistakes. Most won’t let you know that.

Just completed my first ever woodwork build - a desk for my home office, completley using your vids. Thank you heaps.

[jeffforbes]

Very cool sir. I'm sure your son will love it. BTW my wife says that quick montages are my specialty.

[Teknopuls]

Thumbs up not just for the content/insight, but because of the personal taste which brought us an epic clip from Spaceballs!

100% need to post it with the lego and origami on it haha. Love seeing them actually in use

13:11 Bonus Lego pieces.
Nice build. Enjoyable video. Thanks for posting.

This was fun to watch! I think the biggest thing I learned, though, is that I need a sponsor.

We are not friends now. I downloaded your plans (I did your flip cart also, Awesome!), and finally finished this thing! Holy cow, with a terribly crooked wall the trim work was a bear to get looking right. It’s a lot of work but I have to say, worth it! Thank you. I had a couple of live edge pieces laying around so I made a live edge desk top and it looks great! Looking forward to the next project! Oh and you made me go by the Kreg Foreman. Great tool!

Ok, the outlet in the plywood in the beginning!!??? lol love it!

[moriororbi]

Wow!!!! an 'Offspring' reference!! My favorite band! Awesome video, as always.

[vedaflores]

I normally don't subscribe to videos but will be watching many more of yours. Thanks for taking the time to explain some of the challenges and how to fix them.

[scottcarr]

Great build! I want to see the shelves again with the LEGOs and origami!!

[gbjones]

Nice build Brad. Like the Mailman reference.. Had season tickets for the Jazz during Stockton to Malone era!
