Thoroughly enjoyed the video Joshua. He is a very talented Craftsman. His work is superior. Looking forward to seeing the next video when you tour upstairs. Thanks for taking the time to produce the videos. Y'all take care and God bless.

I love how this guy has one of the highest paying jobs in the United States, yet he saves things that you and I would think was trash. Another reason the rich stay that way. Kudos to this man.

Scrapers from old keys, that's a really interesting concept that I believe I'll try out. Always looking for tips and tricks inland tool woodworking, and this is a great resource.

I really like the integrity of his workshop, everything has a reason and he doesn’t just throw money at his craft. He could have the best quality of every modern tool, but instead he hones his craft and only buys what he needs (I must try harder with that).

Then in his spare time he saves and maintains lives.

What an enjoyable 41 minute tour of your shop and no complaints of the camera man from me!

[Ariovistvs]

Dear God, the skill and productivity of that man is just jawdropping.

[Canimakeit]

Dumpster diving doctor. I love this! Old tools are so cool. But it's really cool that he's using old hotel keycards and cheap wrenches to make such amazing pieces.

Mr. Brown is a man on a mission. I deeply admire his commitment and drive. What skill and sense of craft. Thank you much for posting this shop tour. Attending one of his classes is out of my capacity, but this video is about the next best thing.

I bought a full set of those Preppin Weapon sanding blocks as soon as I saw them. What a great idea!

This is probably the most interesting woodworking video I've seen on YouTube. I'm now in retirement and furniture - making and turning are my main hobbies. I'm making furniture for my own use as, if I'm lucky enough, I may have to move into an apartment in years to come so I'm making items that I can enjoy looking at and remembering. I look forward to some instructional videos from William.

Simply amazing. I’ve heard of physicians being furniture makers. Amazed by Dr Browns skills. Thank you for sharing his shop.

[arthurgran]

Thoroughly enjoyed. Enjoy seeing other artisans/craftsman share their passion. Can hear the excitement in your voice. Thank you!

[scoobydog]

This guy is First Class all the way. Over 100 years ago ALL furniture was made this way. Now its all partial board trash. GREAT VIDEO SIR…..

[andrewmccarthy]

There are so many tips/tricks/hacks in the first 7:39 seconds of this video that would take so long to find elsewhere that I had to pause and comment. Thank you for the work you do for the woodworking community!

[billfinn]
