I'm 56 years old and have been in the high-end home building industry for most of that time. Not much impresses me when it comes to wood working. You sir are a magical enigma, a once in a lifetime gift to humanity. Keep up the wonderful, I was going to say work but that doesn't define what you are doing, dreams. Yeah, that fits better.

[emptyforrest]

so refreshing to see a woodtuber doing something that isnt just another live edged river table. great idea, great execution.

[nancybrennemann]

I bet I’ve watched over 1000 woodworking videos and I have never been as impressed as I am with your creativity and original thinking. Never mind that I was a Spirograph junkie as a kid 50 years ago! Bravo!! It’s breathtakingly outstanding!

[greensam]

I’m a master sculptor of 36 years, carving granite letters and designs by hand and what you have there, is a piece of art, which you should be so proud of ❤

[AweMe]

Ill admit it. I was sucked in to see just the carving but stayed for the entire video. great stuff man, keep creating!!

[henrietteterpstra]

I am 82 years born during the war in the Netherlands and my father used to make the cradle for his children in the hours he could escape from hiding for the Nazis. After the war he made our beds until times got better. Only later I appreciated the fine carving, inlaids and
fittings he made not being a professional carpenter. Now I can admire beautiful skilled handcraft, modern with the help of machines, but still a piece of art. Love it, greetings

I'm 61 and grew up playing with a spirograph. This is why I clicked on this video. Thanks for doing this table, it brought back lots of fond memories

[tr]

When I started watching, I thought, "I would LOVE to do something like this!" Around half-way through the video, that thought had changed to "I am NEVER doing anything like this. Ever." Awesome project, but I'm glad I didn't have to do that. Insane creativity and mad props to you for seeing the project through.

My wife loves spirograph designs so I showed her this video. At first she loved it but once you got to making the parts on a 3d printer, you could see the change in the look on her face as she realized it would be another purchase to support my woodworking addiction. Love watching you work and I appreciate you sharing all of the challenges you faced and how you overcame them. It's truly a beautiful piece!

[locomokko]

Two things I like about this: 1) It was done without a CNC, and that is impressive, even having used 3D printed templates. 2) The base. As cool as the top is, in my view the best thing about this table is the base. Equally impressive in terms of the effort put into it, and the result. Interesting. Scott from Japan

Someone finally nailed it. A great use of 3D printing and woodworking comming together to make something really cool. I have seen other woodworking youtubers fail at this really bad. You nailed it bub! Great job!!

[DirtZen]

I watch an embarrassingly large quantity of youtube videos and this video is one of the most incredible I've ever seen. The sheer courage, skill, talent, ingenuity, creativity and attention to detail is absolutely remarkable. Thank you so much for inspiring so many of us to get into our garages and shops and make stuff. A true masterpiece.

[dianejohanson]

You got me at Spirograph! I used to love those things as a kid and I’m 71 now. I love watching people create beauty out of wood and you did a fantastic job of conquering the nearly impossible. You knocked it out of the park! Beautiful and ingenious! Congratulations!

[allengrigg]

As an amateur woodworker, I’m just speechless at the pure creative genius and beauty of this table project. Simply stunning!

[Rado]

Coming from a 63 year old retired carpenter, and an inspector that worked in metrology (precision dimensional inspection of machined parts).
NICE

[cueistic]

As a 40 year qoodworker myself, this is VERY innovative to say the least. This is so cool to see you pushing the limits on tooling, such as the undercut using the jointer! That was epic and opened up my imagination to other uses for it now too! LOL! Very well done, the symmetry is off the charts! WELL DONE!

[Fixorfish]

As a now retired 71yo, going from being an interior designer/furniture salesman nearly 50 years ago and sometimes not able to find/purchase unique pieces that I thought were commensurate with my vision for the client, I eventually took a different path than interior design/sales. The rudimentary skills and tools that I learned in my youth from my Father and an Uncle, spurred me to buy woodworking tools and begin my journey as a full time custom furniture designer/craftsman. I spent the next 3++ decades, exploring and achieving some rather awesome routes to create many pieces that I am quite proud of, still today. While I never had a shop that was as well-equipped as yours, and CNCs and 3D printers were not (readily nor practically $-wise) as available to individual craftsmen as they are today, I have come realize that the world of woodworking is so very vast, that I shouldn't have any regrets about my "crudeness" nor my "ability shortcomings", but rather just revel in the art itself, knowing that I was part of a community of copasetic folks who endeavor on a daily basis to advance that art. You Sir, are an inspiration and make me proud to have been a part of that community. I have watched countless videos of the woodworkers who ATTEMPT to inspire, and I often simply fast-forward out of boredom to see the end result....mostly "ho-hum" and trite, imho. You, however are stellar in your approach, your narrative, your humility when you experience an eff-up (inevitable...it's WOOD !), and the end result is impressive as hell. Thanks so very much, keep going, you have a new fan and admirer. May the Force (and "sticktoitiveness"...lol) be with you !!....a new fan from Southern Oregon (and highly jealous of that 16" joiner...and the cojones to operate it !)

[IsseyEkayaim-nn]

Can we all agree this creator deserves more recognition

[e.schwarz]

I’m continually blown away by the genuinely unique ideas and techniques you apply to every project. This is amazing.

[xingfuzhuanyun]

This is not "only fantastic work", it's also amazing art! As a joiner and also a wood artist, I'm really impressed by this.
I also want to say, that English is not my mother tongue, but I could understand everything. There are so many English spoken videos here, but many of them I can't follow at all.
Your pronouncation is really great. A really outstanding channel here, not only for the incredible work, but also for the quality of the videos. Thanks!
