Just a note to tell you that I really enjoy the format and content of the latest videos you've been making. Thank you for leaving the algorithm-feeding content in the dust and providing a glimpse into the process of creating. Keep up the amazing work and thanks again.

Around the beginning of 2017, I stumbled upon one of your bent lamination rings videos. Since my wedding was in approximately 5 months, I made the decision that I was going to make my wedding band following your direction. It took I think three tries, and all I had was super glue and a few sheets of sandpaper, but I had a blast and immediately asked myself what else I could make.

Well here we are, our garage is now a full blown woodshop, our guest bedroom is my laboratory as we call it, and I have my own LLC and make things for a living.

I genuinely can't remember if I've ever made this comment, but thanks for sending me down the path I've gone down! As my wife and I were watching this video together I looked over and said, "Did you know that he is directly responsible for our garage?" And without missing a beat she replied with, "well then I hate him" good times.

This is hilarious, literally watching this while machining Aluminum parts for a customer in the garage on a CNC mill. Love watching your videos during my cycle times when running production!!

Based on comments you make in your videos, I think we have very different priorities and ideals, but having said that, I respect and admire you for your creativity and for allowing yourself to be vulnerable. Kudos to you sir!

I love the different grain direction on the rings this year! It almost gives them a whiskey barrel vibe.

The ring videos are always such an inspiration, love seeing them!

Kelly seems pretty cool, congrats on 10 years 🎉

Your content has been amazing lately. So much more authentic and real. And dare I say, more calm. Thanks for being inspiring and a great storyteller!

I never get tired of hearing the story of how y'all ended up married and why. These ring videos are always a blast to watch and I look forward to them. Also, loving the new format and you doing what you want instead of following the algorithm.

Loving the combination of woodworking and storytelling.

[critter]

I love the ring videos and look forward to them each year! I thought it had been a while since you did your last one.

[dougLinker]

Great story Dave -love the end too haha

[mlwadester]

I look forward to this video every year, now. Stoked you’re keeping the tradition of both making the rings and the videos alive. Keep rocking it, boss.

[Penster-Elle]

I love your tradition with the rings. My tradition is to always write a poem to my wonderful spouse. That means we have 32 anniversary poems (plus 32 birthday poems, 32 Valentine poems and a host of 'just because I love you' poems!)

After 30 years of marriage, a lot of our traditions have changed. One that we keep is that we made sure to have a stupid Christmas tradition that neither of our families had. For us, it was blue string lights on the Christmas tree. My family was multi color and hers was white lights. That and going to church weekly are really the only traditions that we haven't modified over the years.

Congrats on making the rings on time this year! Enjoyed the Kelly cameos and the archival footage. Great video, Mr. P.

Happy belated anniversary. May your love for each other grow with each year.

[kdietz]

Love how you did the wood chunks. Totally different design and love how they turned out.

[KyleBarnick]

Congrats Dave and Kelly. I very much enjoy watching these ring videos.

David, I was lucky enough to share a couple beers with you and Kelly at SF Maker Faire back in 2015, around when all this began. I have loved watching you evolve your channel and art since then. Please keep staying true to the content that makes you happy. These videos aren't good....they're effin' great! Well done, sir

[shaunfather]

happy anniversary dave and kelly! may you have many more years together. keep up the awesome!

[BillDiehl-bfbf]

Loved the backstory and videos of the beginning your relationship with Kelly. The only tradition that I have, apparently, is getting divorced. Great craftsmanship on the rings!
Happy Anniversary to both of you!!
