Watching this made me miss my dad. Enjoy your precious moments with your dad.

[ryanfiller]

The most relatable thing about this video is you wearing a dust mask while your dad totally forgoes PPE. I guess all of our dads just have that in common.

Looking back at your older videos, I can see that the workflow, routines, and tools you shared are still super relevant today. But the way you’ve made everything so seamless and personalized now is just next-level. I used to bounce around from tool to tool, trying to optimize my workflow, and honestly, I’d even get distracted tinkering with random stuff. Watching your content made me realize I just need to focus on the work itself instead. Also, I really appreciate how, even after all these years, you’re still the same guy taking the time to reply to comments. It’s rare to see that kind of consistency, and it’s one of the reasons I keep coming back to your channel ❤❤

[jonathannikpour]

It's one thing to leave a job you are good at to concentrate on creating content you personally enjoy, but for that content to keep evolving around your design and build ideas are truly next level. Love watching you work with your dad and really enjoy watching all your videos. You bring a sense of calm inspiration that excites every viewer. Keep it up Mathew, you are awesome!

[Leqi]

Haven't seen a creator that has personally liked and commented this much.
Thank you for taking the time to really go beyond!
Glad to know I can justify my 20 hobbies if I just make it look super neat :)

[krsnalokacreations]

Your level to detail is unparalleled. Incredible work! Thanks for being you!

[oliveiradavid]

It must be really hard for your family and friends to figure out what you'd like for Christmas or your birthday.
When you don't have something, which seems pretty rare to me, you design and build it!😅

Your videos are always great to watch!

[DerekElliott]

Absolutely gorgeous and thoughtful throughout all the way down to the small custom clip to keep the dock from sliding back when pluggin' stuff in. THAT is detail :)

[Brewcityws]

Few things humble me more than a Matthew Encina video 👀👀

[alexbowen]

10:00 Pre-drilling with a counter sunk drill bit will help with the splitting! I ran into that when I recently made my plywood slat coffee table and the pre-drilling saved it.

[gigobanaag]

Hey Matthew! 😊 I think the highlight of this video for me was definitely the father-son bonding. Such a heartwarming moment! ❤
I thought your last workspace was already top-notch, but your redesigns just keep raising the bar for work environments and aesthetics.
Thanks for another fantastic video!

[DAILYTECHLIFE]

Theres a different level of aesthetic satisfaction in the way you arrange your workspace! So minimalist yet fulfullling and absolutely functional.

[SamFigueroa]

What I learn the most from your videos is that A) I need to pay way more attention to intentionality with my spaces and B) how much it pays off to do so.

[digioms]

I can only dream of this space. Such an inspiring video for people trying to make the most of their home setup. What's more impressive is that you built this from ideation, woodwork, and even 3D printing. Way to go, Matthew!

[mredwintie]

I must say it is so good to 'visit' your home again! I thoroughly enjoyed all your home office, living room and kitchen makeover videos in the past and if you remember, I did ask you how are things back home and would love to see any updates at home.

Such videos are ever so inspiring and therapeutic. It is also marvelous to see that your dad is also involved in making these with you. I guess you must have gotten those designing and woodworking genes from him right?

Stay safe and happy. Wishing you and Belinda all the best!
Cheers, Matthew!

[JOHNY_B_G]

Hi Matthew!
I have stumble upon you during pandemic and immediately your channel became my comfort zone on YouTube.
It’s always great to watch your videos! While watching your videos I always get this urge to do something creative. I started taking photos which bring me peace. I just started university and I have a place to start working on my space to make as creative friendly as possible!

Cheers Matthew!
John

"Hi Matthew! Greetings from India! I just wanted to say how inspiring your videos are. Your approach to creativity and productivity has had a huge impact on how I look at design and manage my projects. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and insights so generously—it's amazing to see how you've helped people worldwide! Looking forward to learning more from you!"❤

[JorgePowell]

So impressed by the Grovemade desk, the level of polish & quality of life features are incredible. A fantastic viewing experience as always Matthew!

[matta_tatta]

I've been following your channel since around 2019, and I just gotta say how crazy yet inspiring it is to see your office space constantly changing and evolving to suit your needs/projects. Always love seeing your content, keep it up!

[Don_Ponchito]

Every time you remodel your home workspace I say to myself “well, it couldn’t be any better that it is now” and then you proceed to crash that opinion 2-3 years later XD very happy to see how much you have improved not only on planning spaces, but also on woodwork and now, 3D printing, it’s been a crazy adventure seeing you from the first office makeover to this one, keep up with the good work Mr. Encina :D
