Your excellent cutting board and router bowl videos are largely responsible for me getting into woodworking a couple years ago. I've since built a shop in the backyard and spend most of my time making sawdust, so thanks for the inspiration. I'm currently focused on woodturning because that is a whole new set of skills to learn and things to make. However, I do still make cutting boards from time to time. Focus shifts as new fun things come to light. I'm not into laser or CNC work, but if I venture in that direction, I will definitely check out your videos, because you produce excellent content and are a great, enthusiastic teacher. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.

I love woodworking and lasers both the same. There is room for both in our world...

[hazelparr]

I came because of lasers but my Dad loved playing with wood, fixing things and using his lathe so watching you do woodwork will be great 😊

[guybowers]

I'm one of those woodwork people who follow you, but seeing the things you create using the laser is very interesting as well. The teacher in you does come through in your videos, which i do appreciate that style.

I love that you are still a teacher. I am an AP at a high school. Looking to start my laser hobby today when my ultra arrives. Literally on the porch waiting :). Keep up the good work. The greatest man to walk the earth had the title teacher.

I’m here for you, brother! Been following for years. I’m a traditional guy at heart. Just got a CNC (OneFinity) and LOVE it and now I want a laser. Just can’t decide. I believe the “machines” enhance and broaden your reach. I also commend you for owning your craft and taking deals that will help your family! God Bless!

[peggykhiev]

Thanks for the update! I work with special needs kids at church so I totally get it. It’s amazing that you still have time for videos!

[AllenHorn]

Wow, I am blown away! As someone who grew up in foster care, I know what it means to have good people to stay with as your foster parents. I would have given anything to have had foster parents like you! I see your light shining brightly! God sees it too!

[fernandpelletier]

Hey Bro, you are great. I watch all your videos, you don’t need to apologize to anyone. You give your expertise free of charge and we all benefits. To all those out there that are complainers, grow up. This man does a great job and I appreciate every video he does. Keep up the good work. You have a loyal follower in me.

[nancy]

I enjoy both the wood working and the laser videos. You have given me a lot of inspiration with your videos. Btw, i love your story on your website. We need more humans like you and your wife spreading love, valuen and understanding to all. God Bless your family always.

[boydstongrove]

I just started receiving a lot of offers from companies and it's hard to find the balance because I see the new tools as an opportunity to broaden what I can do in my shop, but at the same time, it seems to draw attention away from what I normally do. I appreciate your openness to share your experience and good to know that big YouTubers go through the same stuff. Thanks for that vid.

I think you are doing a great job developing your woodworking journey in fun and creative ways. There will always be a segment that doesn’t like change, and that’s ok! There are channels that no longer fit in my path forward. That doesn’t mean that there isn’t still an audience for their content, and it’s not my job to judge that.
Keep doing what is best for you, your family and your rich community.

[karenhadden]

I love ALL woodworking, even if I don’t do that type. We started out YEARS ago with a CNC and the end of last year we got our first laser. That’s how I found you! I’m excited to see what’s next, no matter what it is!

[pswoodworks]

Terrific videos in all the areas you work with. During COVID I went full blast and after years a playing with wood I finally went over the top into woodworking. Problem is now I'm in the very early stages of moving from TN to Upstate NY. At least this will give me the ability and time to setup a new shop to accommodate all my needs. My needs now include hardwood cutting boards and turning on the lathe. A product that is getting started in my shop is anything to do with lasers. Your laser videos drove me to this end and I really find laser a whole new area of crafting! Keep all the different videos coming....I enjoy them all.

My daughter is a Special Ed teacher and is on her 16th year break, so thanks for what you do and enjoy the time off. Congrats on the 108K subs. I don't have a laser and do not watch those videos. The good news is that this is a "side hussle" so you can run/manage your channel as you wish. You are lucky to have the ability to pick and choose sponsors etc.
All that being said, your tutorial videos are the best on the tube and I appreciate how and what you do. Very inspirational and show us how to achieve a GREAT project and the various ways to achieve the end result using different tools etc. Carpe Diem! !! !!!
PS: you might consider a "laser channel" Thanks again and say Hi to the kids

Your content is among the best on YouTube and your “why” is second to none.

Keep doing what you’re doing—your style is unique, entertaining, and informative.

I’ll never understand how people can bash content creators who earn money and receive products from companies. I’d venture to say most of the critics would love to have that opportunity themselves.

As for what I enjoy on your channel, I genuinely love it all. From one family man “weekend warrior woodworker/laser engraver” to another, I appreciate what you do.

[danielmalone]

Im here for anything. I love woodworking but recently bought a cnc and a laser and been making items as a side hustle. Love all the videos.

[soerenhuba]

I really appreciate your channel, your creativity and your honest assessments of what one can do with certain tools. Your vids made a real difference in what I attempted and how I spread my wings. Thanks for that.

[scotlawrence]

I'm new to woodworking and found your channel searching for videos on how to make cutting boards. I also like tutorials on the proper use of traditional power tools like routers and saws. Congratulations on your success (100k+ subscribers) and the crazy amount of output you've shown given this is your "side hustle." Your enthusiasm is contagious, so keep up the great work and do what makes you happy!

[davidjaques]

I’ve been following since before the lasers for various woodwork hints, tips and inspiration. Recently got the XTool M1, so I’ve been loving the laser stuff too. You have bills to pay, that’s what comes first
