Large production run of handmade 216 coasters and 37 cheese boards in my tiny shop here in Alaska. Here I show the whole process of making a large batch of product with some teaser footage of things to come.

  • Unique father-daughter dialogue: Where's the bandsaw? Where's the drillpress? -- Good job! A new classic!
  • The space efficiency is nothing less of inspiring. I feel like I would at least need a 3 car garage to do the things you do in a single. With that being said, we could all learn a few things from you here and I appreciate you sharing this with us!
  • @cmozak
    You Sir, are one dedicated individual, a master of your craft, I’ve watched all your videos and can absolutely say I haven’t seen you settle for anything less than the best. From your biggest cutting boards to the coasters (which are time consuming beyond belief), I am blown away, keep up the great work, wishing you the best on the next step, I hope none of your products ever become rushed, Some say they live to work, Others say they work to live, I think you just “Love your work!” Isn’t that what we should all strive for….
  • @676dig
    Well done Kris. You have done a great job with the cutting boards, cheese boards and coasters. You have earned the opportunity of moving to a new shop and expanding your creative business. I'm jealous...LOL. Well done and done well.
  • @ronwhite36
    As a fellow Alaskan, don't look back! Keep moving forward buddy. I'm rooting for your success. By the looks of your products you will do fine. Totally top of the line, first class.
  • @DayZilya
    I am so glad to see creative and hardworking people succeed and benefit from the power of the internet. It just so god damn wholesome :3 Great upload and love from St. Petersburg Russia <3
  • @onemillionfish
    the commitment to being tidy might be the most impressive thing ive ever seen
  • @kathyl5610
    I almost feel exhausted every time I watch one of your videos, WOW, The time, the patience, the attention to detail, you are amazing and quite a craftsman. I love watching your videos. Thanks for taking the time to share it with us. Good luck with the new shop and I can’t wait to see the next video. Your daughter is absolutely precious and I love the relationship you are building with her. Take care, stay safe.
  • Kris so nice to see you moving forward and the warehouse just put me in tears happy tears for you and your family. This is Pam the nurse heading to Montana Saturday for a travel nurse job for a couple months. Looking forward to buying more stuff forever a happy customer friend and supporter of your gift! Blessings to you and your family now and always in all ways. 👩‍⚕️
  • @wentbackward
    Mate, you are a hero for the small workshop owner. I've been there in a tiny space. Man I felt pain when I saw how many sanding disks you laid out ready for the coaster. What I love and what people should notice is the care you take in setting things up. That's where the discipline is. Best of luck as you expand!
  • @marcelchaloupka
    Fascinating. I can’t believe I just watched a 44 minute video and the previous 1 hour video on the making of cutting boards.
  • @derekdodson9982
    Kris, I'm so happy for you. Looking forward to the new shop. You've inspired me to start making cutting boards. Thanks. All the best.
  • It's incredible to see you make so many new jigs and holders for specific steps in your production process. Very clever. Taking the time to make the right tools to do the job -- very impressive. And the results just look a feast!
  • @karinaj9916
    Congratulations on the new shop. You worked hard for it. Good things come to good people. Your daughter is adorable.
  • @w1t6a16
    Kris.... Your videos are like watching a great movie. We have to wait for 4 months but it's sooooo worth it. So happy and excited for you, your family, and the the new shop.... Thanks for sharing all of it with us.... Your wood work and video editing are phenomenal as usual also....
  • @codyburch9965
    Yay! What an exciting time, your business is going to be a wonderful success. Enjoy the new space and many blessings to you and your family. Pace yourself!
  • @adamdfish5840
    By putting in so much attention to detail, plus the effort and perfectionist finishing, you will not have to compete with far eastern copies. Glad you charge a price that reflects how much of 'you' goes into your products. Well done artisan.
  • @ericsimpson4045
    Time to setup, time to cleanup, organize sequence of work/workflow. I really enjoyed watching this. Congrats on transfering your hobby into a business and working effeciantly
  • @blward
    Congratulations! I'm so glad this business is popping off for you. Great work.
