  • @cattleNhay
    Wow, that bread slicer is the best thing since sliced bread
  • Good ideas, excelent, thank you my friend. Luiz ,Rio de Janeiro city.
  • @thenocode72
    The straw method is a game changer…just got yourself another subscriber
  • I made the iPad stand for my wife for Christmas and she loves it! My modification was to use dowels for the supports and incorporate holders on the back so it could all be kept together when stored . Thanks for some great ideas!!
  • @mousikos23
    The coaster and cookbook/ipad holder... love it! Looks great and you did a great job going through the process!
  • Hallo, Mein Name ist Norbert, Ich finde Sie als eine absolute Power Frau im Schreiner-Handwerk, Sie stellen so viele "genaue Dinge aus Holz her", das ist einfach "Klasse"! Alle Achtung für Ihr Handwerkliches können. Mit freundlichen Grüßen aus Germeny
  • Great ideas. Thanks for all you do. I made the cookbook holder this week. Came out great. Used solid cherry for backing and maple for the stand. I did change one dimension from your plans. While the foot on the stand is sufficient for an iPad, it is not deep enough for my wife's thicker cookbooks. For example, her Betty Crocker cookbook is two inches thick. So I made the foot of the stand larger to accommodate people who cook old school style. Thanks again!

    I’ve watched your videos pretty much since you started. Shop has come a long way. Your router table video inspired me to build one. It’s one of my prize tools. Also did 3 baguette slicers and 10 of the 3 in 1 bottle openers. Enjoy all your videos, well done.

    The first real wood worker I have ever seen. Respect from Syria
  • @rmar127
    Could make that bread slicer more versatile by having a straight cut on one end and the mitre cut on the other end.
  • @rosebuhr
    I don’t have your equipment or woodworking skills but I’m mesmerised by the detail you put into everything you make.
  • @danalaniz7314
    Thank you! These are all amazing and great gift ideas. I even thought about how the cut-off corners from the light tower could be business card holders. Thanks for the inspiration!
  • love the baguette cutter. Now I just need a good Boulangerie in Mid Michigan
  • @AdamSkubel
    These are all so beautiful! Thank you for sharing this 😃
  • @CynergyDiva
    What got me to click on your video was seeing Montreal in the name. I grew up in N.D.G I absolutely love the cookbook stand and it's nice to see a woman doing this stuff. It gives me the inspiration to do it myself.
  • @MarksAGoodLad
    Your workshop organisation / jig game is absolutely inspirational. Incredible work.
  • Great video. Thanks for sharing. First gift : baguette miter-box. I really like how you make a list of used tools, etc. for each separate project. Happy Holidays, stay healthy and keep making videos at your own pace. I'm always enjoying them.
