“Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work." - This one quote has served me well.

[CoreyWagnerChicago]

I rewatched the intro three times. So fun. Also look forward to building my own beautiful tool kits. Time to put on the overalls (actually, just a pair of dirty jeans ;)

Whenever I see your videos, I think of how satisfying it would be to be able to make or fix things with my hands. And then I remember that hot face feeling I get when I realize I’m in over my head, and I realize that the feeling of failure is too much of a hurdle to jump for me. But maybe if I watch enough of your videos, I’ll start believing that the hurdle is smaller, or that I can jump higher. Great video!

Van - you’ve been an inspiration to me. Thank you for your inventions, your style, and the art you bring to the world.

[Saint-dv]

dude these videos are the best I have come across I just feel at home with these homemade videos

[WalkingNose]

I built my own portable Tool Wall, not revolving tho. It was a satisfying project and a great exercise on letting go on perfectionism and embracing organisation in an organic mannare. Thank you Van your video always bring so much inspiration.

What is funny about this video is this morning I was in my tools room and it is a mess and I thought I could build a tools panel like Van and I searched 2 minutes ago on YouTube and boom Van had posted a very specific video about that subject. What a wonderful mix of art and craftsmanship.

[RachaelPadilla]

Brilliantly executed! A triumph as always!

[nathanbaldwin]

Watched this in the car to get my head right before a video shoot. Thank you 🙏🏻

[tinfoilneanderthal]

Thank You Van! You're an inspiration

[corneliusdinkmeyer]
