I’m going to be completely honest. I was growing tired of the same hardcore music over yet another diy miter saw station build. It was something to watch I guess. Somehow KZitem recommended you channel so I checked it out. (1) I build my own stuff and I feel like I have skills yet I’m learning somewhere between a handful and a dozen extremely useful tips from every video. I can honestly say that’s never happened before. I’m usually lucky to learn 1. (2) I actually really appreciate no music. Not sure why but it completely works. (3) You explain your processes in a way I can immediately understand the benefits. Almost like I’m in your shop. Keep doing what you do.

Hi mike. I’m a professional cabinet maker from Brighton UK. Decided that as I work on my own most of the time I’m never learning new tricks and tips from other woodworkers so I’d start looking at utube stuff. Anyway, your channel is exactly what I hoped I’d find! Great content, clear explanations and no shit music! Plus a great sense of humour. Please keep putting out the videos. Only trouble is that I have severe workshop envy! You’d be horrified to see the old workshop space I have to work in. 👍David Booker

I was curious about income, Mike. I just got done reading a Wood Whisperer article where Marc discusses how he no longer makes an income from woodworking for clients. It’s all from advertising and online content. Back in the day, Marc struggled to make a living from actual wood working and never really made it over the hump, so to speak. But there are those folks out there, and I thought about you. Are you the sole provider for your family via woodworking? Have you found it to be a solid means of income even though you’re producing on such a small scale?

It's so rare to find someone on KZitem who was an expert before they started their YT channel. I know you're the real deal for two reasons: 1)I always learn a little tip or add something to my workshop shopping list when I watch one of your videos 2) Your self deprecating sense of humor.

I know the feeling about the end of a project. I built a very nice dice tower for a friend of mine -- it was my first "real" project with hardwoods (maple and purple heart), and as soon as it was done and finished, I packed it up and shipped it off to my friend, half a continent away. I was proud of it and of the things I learned while making it, but it was definitely a weird feeling completing a project I was never going to see again. Almost like finishing a good book for the first time.

I use the SENCO FinishPro 23LXP. I've had it for about a year and use it for 8 hour stretches, about 2 to 3 days out of the week. It's nowhere anywhere near being worn out. It's a good gun but quirky - like all 23 gauge nailers I've used. They are as follows: Up here in Idaho it gets very cold in the winter. The first 3 nails of the day tend to end up proud of the board. It requires 1 drop of oil in the morning, no more and no less. You can put your nails in at an angle without them going in proud but you have a to learn what positions it works for. Load up on soft tips - they wear out fast.

Trimmed out a house where the owner refused any wood junction to cover the unavoidable gap between the drywall and the t&g lid. I forget how many hundreds of sq ft of Aspen t&g lid. Close to a thousand. Had to snap a line from end center to end center because there was an hourglass bulge on both sides off the hallway from the living room. Lid through the LR was divided into 4 rows divided by three beams. Again, no beam/lid trim for shrinking. Then the real fun. A rough rock fireplace with random fieldstones from almost bowling ball size to 1/4th of that. We had to build a shelf system on each side - 3 shelves each side about 10 - 12 inches deep. Scribe the rocks (after figuring out the backing) perfectly, vertically, IN LINE WITH THE FREAKING LID of course, and tie in the shelves and t&g wall areas around them and the fireplace. On site, one day for two guys on the LR lid and fireplace - and it looked great. Just give me my inadequate check before the relative humidity changes and gaps magically appear on the edges of your lids, lol.

there is something nostalgic about using dowels, the same as using a hand plane or hand saw, but its not so nostalgic that i would give up my domino or biscuit jointer anytime soon! 🙂

It's been a few months, and you may have already bought a new pin nailer, but I have almost exclusively Senco nail guns from brad pinners to house framing. They are pretty much bullet proof and I am very happy with them.

Nice job as always Mike. Really illustrates how many steps and parts go into a "simple" cabinet build. I also enjoy picking up new techniques from your videos, and seeing what tools you've added to your shop!

Hi Dave! Thank you. Yes, woodworking seems so simple until you actually try to do it. After I completed this project I went on a spending spree and bought a few new tools which I will show in the next couple videos. See ya soon.

Hey Mike, I love your teaching skills. Your explanations are very easy to understand and so is your smooth delivery of instructions. When I worked as a Route Salesman delivering bottled water, one of my stops was a furniture and cabinet builder. I'd walk into their huge wood working shop every two weeks and twice a month, I was inspired to be a cabinet maker... lol Btw, I am real close to retiring from my job as a Set Lighting Technician in the movie industry and I still want to learn how to build cabinets and make furniture. If you ever need an older apprentice, I will be available in a few years. Thanks for sharing, cause I've learned a lot...

Your best video yet, in my opinion. Thanks so much for going into so much detail, I totally appreciate it. I'm just getting into doing more built-ins with my business. You have a wealth of experience and great tips and techniques, you have taught me a lot. Your shop and tool collection is quite enviable as well. Cheers

Well I've had 3 different Grex pin guns. Rebuilt them more than once. Went to Porter Cable, which was my favorite tools, and something else. That move was just out home center convenience. So now to what I think you should give a shot "Max" this gun has gone on and on with zero issues. The tongue has not lost it's point yet. It has a no fire feature when it gets down to 4 pins. I dump that and load a new clip to prevent jamming.

Thank you very much for the input. I will add it to the hopper. I really like the no fire feature. Nothing worse than nailing something and then realizing you didn't nail something....
