    Your endeavour to educate the beginners is highly appreciated.

    I learned more in 12 minutes than I have in most of my life
  • @pattycookie2011
    Absolutely brilliant! I have great respect for the art of carpentry. I've always nurtured a 'secret' desire to learn some carpentry skills and have my very own little workshop, but being a lady sometimes means that people might not take you seriously if you try to step into this very male dominated world of construction. You are a GREAT teacher! Very inspiring! 👏👏👏👏
  • I’m 15 and I’m slowly getting into carpentry. Thanks for the tips and terminology!
  • I'm a 68yr old retired RN. You won't find me sitting and knotting. I want to do woodworking! I can't find local woodworking classes. I just found this and I'm excited about it. Very informative. Thank you, so much!
  • @Zanezach
    I don't know if you found your calling in life, but if you were my HS shop teacher, I would have never missed a class. I find your videos informative, and both the pace and duration effective. Subscribed and marked for notifications. Thanks for the videos!

  • I’ve now stopped on 3 or 4 of your videos and am impressed with them all. I find you informative and articulate and will be in on everything you do. You do help me out in some way each time I tune in. It’s people like you that make it possible for me to pursue my new interests in Woodworking. Thanks for that.
