Steve I'm so stoked to have been included in one of your videos, I've been watching and learning from your videos ever since I started working with wood. I hope you enjoy the art piece, the frame you made is beautiful! Funnily enough i have been looking for one of those spray can holders this week, so your tip came at a perfect time! Thank you so much. Jorge (I pronounce it George 😂)

How many of the viewers live in England? I for one do and love these videos even if I am not that great at woodworking. If I make a seed tray I am down the pub for three days celebrating!!!! Keep up the good work Steve.

Anyone else heard the fly at 20:23?
I like that you let your beard grow.
It reminds me the old videos.

The best tutorial I've seen so far, thanks

[foestgump]

I love that you have a drill press but you use a cordless drill to show how much you can do with simple tools. Keep up the great work!

[izznice]

Thank you I thoroughly enjoyed watching your video. I like to do puzzles and I glue them to a flexible cloth and I would like to build frames but always thought it was too complicated and you have made it look so easy

[Energyflash]

Complete novice woodworker from the UK here who loves the enthusiasm of all these US YouTube carpenters but who use really expensive equipment. I think it's great how you always offer up alternative solutions for those who don't have access to a lot of tools

I feel like I've been reborn after seeing that point driver! The tools people create are so cool. But I'm a simple person who admires the traditional and classic.

I made my first picture frame last week. I had no idea how to go about it. I watched your vid here; followed your instruction and it came out really nice! Bought a strap clamp and used my table saw to make the groove for glass and photo as you instructed. I made the frame and my wife took it to hobby lobby for the glass and backing. Thanks much.

The dowel trick was my biggest moment. Definitely going to incorporate that in my projects!

Hi. Greeting from Vietnam. I've been watching every single videos of yours in quarantine time and they help me so much. I bought some power tools (from your 1000$ list), declutched the forbiden corner (in which we stored scrap over years and years) on 2nd floor, and then turned it into a DIY garden. Most based on your ideas making stuff from pallet wood. 
My favorites quote of yours (especially when i doubt my work is so normal) is : You create something from nothing, that makes you special. That quotes keep me on track to complete everything i ever start.
After 4 months, the forbiden corner has turned into a lovely garden my dad and mom relax after work.
Sincerely, i wanna say thank you so much. I'll keep watching and learning from your channel.
BTW, i really want to show you about my garden but I don't know how to. if there is a way, plz tell me. I do appreciate.

One more time, thank you so much.

Our friends just gave us a painting of our last dog who passed 2 years ago. My wife hung it as-is and literally last night I said "I think I'm going to learn how to make a frame.

Perfect timing for this video.

I‘m from Switzerland. I don’t understand every word you‘re saying, but I allways know what you‘re talking about. Your tips and tricks are gold! Please keep your „style“ how you make your clips. Have a great new year my friend!

[brucelangseth]

Thank you for the video. I was about to go out and make a frame, thank God I watched this first! Probably saved me from a frustrated "episode" and time and money too.

My dad was a master craftsman in the wood shop. Anything he needed made from wood, he made it and made it very well, whether using hand tools or power tools. Furniture, cabinets, farming equipment, buildings, room additions, etc. I inherited absolutely zero number of his craftsman genes, so I depend on watching videos such as yours to learn how to do things in the shop. Thanks for all you do to help us 'mere mortals'.

I’ve just begun making frames for floating canvas. The back corner dowel reinforcements is just what I needed. Hats off to you for sharing great woodworking tips.

Oh my god, that dowel reinforcement method just changed my life. I would never have thought of that, and it's so simple! Thank you!

[txcwbyems]

I really love the back to basics style you have returned too, this is exactly what a Mere Mortal is looking for. I can't help but notice how that expensive beautiful super hero miter fence jumps out at me every time you use it. I would love to see you go back to using the simple crosscut sled and miter sled. I finally built one for myself and it drastically increased how much I enjoy my table saw. I rarely use my chop saw anymore. Now when I start a project, the first thing I use is something I built, what a wonderful way to start a project. Craig from Texas

I picked up a signed poster from Mr. Bungle back in February when concerts were still a thing. I've been meaning to make a frame for it. Thanks for the reminder!
