How much?! That's mental Karl.... All the best to Jacob.
You've created an environment for Jacob to thrive and grow as a man and a woodworker, I'm not surprised someone wants to employ his skills. You can be proud of that. But I can imagine the silence will be deafening at first - but it's a new chapter for Dad and Son. All the best.
Sad times Karl, BUT you as a father must me really proud of your lad. Your the one that passed on the skills, gave him the opportunity, supported and encouraged him. Good luck to you both.
Thank you Steve 😊
Good luck Karl Jake and the rest of the family... Iforone will try and watch moreofyour contect..problemis I have over 1000 subscibed channel and notall woodwork....don'tknow how i started watching fishing and bricklaying...Chin up Karl.
That’s so sad, good luck in your futures. Looking forward to next video
Sad for you Karl, but you must be so proud of your boy. He is a fine lad who needs to spread his wings. Best of luck to him and look forward to seeing your new content.
Thank you Paul 😊
I was hoping that was what the video would be about. Congrats Jacob, the outside experience will be brilliant. He'll get not only the pounds but the experience of working in a bigger team, more responsibility and wider range of clients. It'll all pay if and when he comes back to a stronger business and experience. All the best guys!
Thank you James 😊😊
Beautifully put Karl, wishing you and Jacob the very best grow strong 💪 and prosper mate. I always admire you grounded nature and look forward to your content ❤
Awww. I love seeing Jacob's creations. Sorry it's been so tough on you all Karl. You deserve the so much more for how hard you work. 🥰
Thank you so much Lyn x
👍👍👍 Good luck to you both. Thank you
Karl, I've been so proud as a dad watching my kids grow, learn and become the wonderful successful adults they are. How much prouder would I have been to be able to say, "I taught them the trade that got them started". You've done just that. Do remember though, nothings over quite yet. I'm certain Jake appriciates everything you've done and still is, and always will be part of it. Nothing ends, it just moves on. That's the way of things and it's good. Many good wishes to you both and your family.
Hey Karl, you've set Jake up to succeed, so be proud of that. I also do woodwork as a hobby, totally unskilled but people still buy what I make. So you'll not be short of customers with your skills!
All the best for the future 👍👍
Thank you David that's really kind of you to say.
I've been watching your videos from the beginning. I just loved the down to earth, salt of the earth guy from Ull. As you'll remember I took one of the videos particularly to heart when things were really dire for you during the pandemic and you were struggling. I met you, Jacob and your lovely misses at Makers Central a few years ago and you were all exactly as people see you on the videos, warm, friendly and welcoming. I still have the mug I bought that day and it always makes me smile. I genuinely wish you and Jacob all the very best of luck for now and into the future. ❤️
It's been a joy to watch you two over the years mate and can only imagine how hard this is for both of you, yet still the right decision. I'd loved to have worked with me dad and hope my kids want to spend more time making things with me as they get older too. You've been so lucky to have had the chance to see your lad develop like he has, you must be proud mate. You've done yourself proud too mate. Kia kaha x
Very sad times for you both. But it does sound a good opportunity for Jake to widen his knowledge and skill base. Sometimes what seems like a negative can end up having positives that you never saw coming. I really hope this is the case for your business and family.
Karl, I started a successful business that got me through the covid days after watching your how to make a reclaimed rustic dining table video. I'd never had any experience working with wood before, but I needed something to basically help me survive as I had zero income at the time. After replaying your post about 20 times, I took the plunge, bought tools, put ads up on Facebook Marketplace, started making tables and benches and made an absolute killing for 2 years. I couldn't keep up with orders during that period and never had one unhappy customer...and I put that down to following your advice to the letter. The arse fell out of it the day after we ended lock down, but it doesn't matter. I found another job. Bottom line, I still love your vids and I'm incredibly grateful and happy that I came across your channel. Best of luck with the next chapter mate!
😢 It's really sad but you can be so proud of what you've achieved together. And he has true life skills. But more importantly you've a strong loving family who cares and support each other ❤ .
I will be glad to continue watching as you make this adjustment. The circumstances are difficult, and I appreciate your choice to share this transition with us.
Hey Karl, sorry to hear about your tough times. It was especially hard for Jocab as you said, a young man earning below minimum wage. I’m so happy for him with his new job now. All the best for the future mate, sounds like you have some obstacles to tackle but I’ll be here as always watching along.
Mate, you’re original shed tour is how I found your channel and was a massive inspiration to make my own tiny workshop. I’ve always admired how real you’re videos are, not trying to paint a glossy picture with fancy machinery, just making stuff with what you’ve got. You must be so proud of Jacob, despite the hardship he’s clearly had an inspiring start to his career and will no doubt go on to do great things, maybe even employ his dad one day 😂 I’ve got two young sons and can only hope to enjoy the times you’ve had with Jacob
I agree the young are facing bigger challenges these days, I am confident your son will get over it strong with your guidance.
Thank you 😊
Good luck with the next chapter...
Good luck and best wishes..
I've always enjoyed your video's and inspired myself to do some woodworking myself.
Karl what a very touching video.
You and your wife as well as Jacob himself sould be proud as punch with the job you have made of bringing nyour children up so well, dont forget you get no training in parenthood and you all have done a fantastic job.
Jacobs work ethik is rare to see in one so young and I would expect to see him fly to great heights.
If you ever do a course on programming CNCs please let me know, I would love to attend.
Such kind words thank you Ralph.
Good luck and best wishes to both of you and your family
M8 hats off to you especially for making that video. I can kinda relate my dad is self employed and wanted me to work for him and i wanted to and one day take it on but like u just couldnt do it so can kinda relate. Hopefully things will get sorted for you m8 were all behind you. Hopefully as u say maybe in few years he'll be able come back with you. You can aee the passion and dedication you have and the heartache it's causing you to have to make this decision. Am not religious or anything like that but some how the world throws shit at us for reason so if youve had the rough you've had your due sommit better. Your fantastic woodworker and creator and deserve be so much higher up the yt algorithm and subscribers. Chin up m8 itll come. Also can't wait see what you start doing. 🏴👏👍
As a relative newbie to your channel, I really enjoy your content. Watching this video I can see how much it means to you, and I wish you, your boy and all your family the best going forward. Thanks for sharing.
Good luck 🍀
Good luck Jakob and Karl, keep your chin up. I feel sorry for your situation Karl, but it could be an unseen opportunity to possibly expand a lucrative avenue? Tony
Karl, I totally understand how you're feeling also Jacob's reaction to all of this, from someone who has been down the route of self-employed in the past, it's extremely hard and challenging to say the very least. I recall working about 90 to 100 hours a week and honestly I didn't get to pay myself for around 15 months continuously. Every single penny either went back into stock for the business or was spent on bills. It was a living hell that I felt like I was fighting all the time, nomatter what I tried or did and it almost broke me ,had it not been for my wife and her standing by me I don't know where I'd have been today. That said I do believe that it's not the end for you and Jacob plus he needs to try realise all the things he's going to be learning and making good money for. You and I both know you can't beat having the experience or the journey you have while getting the experience, it will be good for him overall plus you both are hopefully going to be having a few more quid in your pockets!!!😊. Regards to the channel I'm really glad to hear that you're sticking with it and not calling it a day. As always brother 💯% 👍and best wishes to Jacob and his own journey.
P.s you and I know what some people are like and how much of a bunch of a-holes the council can be, what I'm saying is you need to mention about Jacob's living situ being a joke or remove the remark about it from your video before someone knocks on your door. Good luck to you both from West Yorkshire ( Greg's sausage rolls still the best!!!😊).
Full of admiration for you Karl. Setting up on your own is such a brave thing to do and what a success you have made of it. You talked about the difficulties which I understand but you’ve had such a great time with J and you’ve given him the skills for a career of his own. I worked with my dad in his business and it will stay with me forever. Best of luck to you both. I’ll do my bit on RUclips to support you 👍
Hang on in there if you can man. Love your down to earth carpentry and humour. One Yorkshireman to another! 👍
I could tell that was hard message to convey mate, must be like losing an arm. I’m a huge fan of your content so looking forward to seeing more of it. Best of luck to Jakob in his new venture.
Keep the faith.
Mate, this must be so hard, I genuinely feel for you. I’ve followed you for years now, will miss the banter and laughs you have. Good luck to Jacob, I’m sure he has a great future ahead of him,,it looks like you’ve been a very supportive dad, friends, boss, workmate to him. You should hold your head high and be proud 🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍
First duty of a parent - protect your kids. Second - set them up to be successful and content adults. Tick. Would love to be able to work with mine, but I don't think I have the social skills to pull that off without one of us killing the other. You're awesome and sure you'll nail the next phase (no pun intended). Onwards and upwards.
Thank you Emna 😊
As far as the energy thing goes all I can say is WTF! How does it even get that far without somebody noticing? Giving up a secure job with regular income to start your own business is a gutsy move but at least you won't regret never giving it a crack. Sad times for sure Karl but you can take solace from the knowledge that you gave Jakob a good solid start from which he has flourished and grown. Anyway cobber, I'm sure things will get sorted out and you'll be going full steam ahead in no time. All the best.
I was welling up Karl. U must be so proud of the lad. It’s hard now but the pay off as you watch him develop will catch you in your heart so many times it will be worth it. I really love your channel man 🤙
good video mate, best of luck to the both of you. 👍
Wow mate.... Can see why it took a few attempts to make the video. Wish you both all the very best for the future, hope to catch up at one of the shows.
I can tell how emotionally this has effected you and your family. People always think but you have your own 😮business. Until you have your own business you can’t understand the stress and commitment and hours you put in. It’s all consuming. My advise to my kids is to find a Monday to Friday know that u can have the weekends to recharge. Go to work,finish work and switch off. The time you have had teaching and working together is priceless. So many businesses have been hit with ridiculous energy bills, they seem to have come from nowhere and it’s never small amounts but thousands the stress and worry it’s so scary. Glad that u r keeping going and I wish u the best. Unfortunately life requires money to live it. You should be proud of yourself and your son, your hard working and positive.
Thank you Cath 😊
Brave decision by you both. I am sure you both will continue to grow thank you for sharing
I know it's got to be hard to not have him with you. My oldest daughter has three children. Little Kevin is the oldest then there's Ayanna and the Nyah. When they were little I'm taking 9, 8 and 6 . They would come spend the weekend with my wife and me and they would be in my work shop going through my scrap ply and find pieces that they wanted me to help them build things. Mostly swords ,daggers and bow and arrows. Then they would head out to the yard to battle dragons and different enemies. Kevin just graduated high school and Ayanna is a junior and Nyah is in 8th grade. I miss them coming over and building things together. So I know how you feel. Thanks for the videos.
It's hard Karl I worked with my lad for years but he had to get another job over the same scenario it's hard to swallow at first but at least he's still at home and it gives him the chance to grow stronger and that's what we want for our kids
Karl mate, good luck to you both but I don't think you'll need it, you are stern stuff and I'm positive
it will all work out benefitting you, Jacob, and of course, your family. Hang in there, you all have a bright future waiting. All the best and regards, Fred
This video is a keeper for me, saved. Say no more , you're a true bloke
Thank you Steve your a gentleman.
Best of luck to the both of you from your fans in Barton🤛
Good luck for the future Jakey you’ll be missed!!
Good honest video. All the best to you both. Hope things work out well for you karl
Great video Karl, good luck to Jacob, sometimes you need a side step. I believe you are the type of people that don’t give up, all the best from t’other side a Yorkshire mate
Been with you pretty much from the start Karl and enjoyed seeing you and your family grow in many ways. It's great news for Jakob and will make the most of all that studying he's done. You've given him a brilliant start in life and built your own business from nothing. I look forward to seeing you develop your YT channel - you and Keith are the ones who most inspired me to post my own videos and I will always be grateful. Chin up mate, you're a proper grafter.
Karl.... keep ya chin up mate.... let ya boy fly... he'll do ya proud😀😀👍👍
Hi Karl, this is hard you all, but as an former royal marine now working woodwork as a side job, this will open up new horizons and opportunities for you both, enjoyed all the vids so far and I'm sure I will continue to
A difficult decision that hasn’t been taken lightly by the sounds of it Karl. All the best to the both of you and I’m confident it will work out in the end 👍
WoW! Blimey Karl, I’ve got mixed emotions mate. I’m Gutted for you regarding the horrific bill you received and of course at the fact that Jacob is moving on. That said, I’m also very pleased for him and you obviously you are too because he’s your Son. It won’t be easy for you at the start but as parents, we want the Best for are kids. Hold your head up high mate and be Proud. You have given him Amazing, Rock Solid Foundations that he will Always have and he’s not exactly going far.
I’ve watched you almost from the start I think. Front that tiny little shed and your Daughter filming and it’s Always been a pleasure. I’ve watched you while laying in the Bath, laying in bed and sat on the bog! Sorry about that! 😂
All the best mate and, the future’s bright 👍🏾
Good luck Jacob 👍🏾
Stick with it Karl the channel will grow. Good luck fella.
Sorry to hear Karl hope things improve good luck with the future glad to hear you’re lad has work ❤
Tough time at the moment for you and Jacob, I am gutted for the two of you and you deserve better than this you are a good person with a great son. I'm happy for him and a chance to work else where but its not the same. One day and it will happen he will come back it will take time and you will pull through, Take care mate
As sad as it is mate & I can tell how upset you are but you need to look at all this in a positive way. It was you who gave your son the opportunity to do his apprenticeship & now your son is moving on to a great opportunity doing something he enjoys. That is all down to you & jake will always be grateful of the opportunity you gave him. Yes you are now gonna be working alone but atleast you have your son still & he will still visit the workshop. You can still make silly videos together & maybe a video tour of his new place of work.
The main thing to remember is you have a great family behind you that will always be there for you. I'm sure you will adapt to the changes like a duck to water. Atleast you have plans moving forward.
Since my wife died I just feel like I'm stuck in a rut. Just been doing reviews on the channel as they cost nothing but time but even that's been a struggle. Don't think others enjoy it too much either as channels basically standing still & views are non existent. I havnt even made anything for about 1 1/2 yrs now. Just seem to have no enthusiasm. Don't get me wrong I enjoy being in the workshop but my wife was always my biggest supporter, even when I hated something she loved it. Without her nothing feels the same anymore. Anyway I'm getting off point this was supposed to be about you. Like I've said, keep your chin up everything jakes achieved is down to your teaching & the great start you've given him. Who knows what the future holds but keep being yourself & doing what you do & I'll keep watching. Thanks for the update & goodluck for the future.
God bless you David, thank you mate. I wish we lived closer so we could do some joint projects. Shall we do a collaboration build? Might help get you making again?
Really touching video mate.
Thanks mate 🙂
Chin up dude, right now seems bad but soon we will be eating ze-bugs!
Yommy my favourite 😆
Hey Karl, if I can help with video editing at all, please reach out and I’ll be happy to lend a helping hand. Keep your spirits high, everything happens for a reason and I hope you find some comfort , where you can, in these challenging times.
Hi Jordan thank you, ye some help with editing would be amazing. Are you in Hull?
@@karlpopewoodcraft Hi Karl,
No, down in Gloucestershire! But happy to help remotely?
Just seen this one mate. Sorry to hear but like you said, it will be for the best. It will give you a chance to get on top of your socials and the teaching side of the business as well as iyou're👊🏼
Cheers mate, ye it should give me the push I need.
@@karlpopewoodcraft Exactly mate, that what Ive taken from the last few months anyway, I think my mindset was a bit crap and there was just certain things I wasnt sure about. Quite often I need a deadline or kick in the arse to figure things out lol. Sure its going to work out mate!
@TheNaturalWorkshop I'm exactly the same mate, its so difficult being self employed.
Dude sorry to hear but it will give him loads of ops and that will only benefit you both
Jacob wish you all the good on your jew job 😊 Karl, take care and good luck on putting the social media to a new level. I allways enjoyed the videos you guys posted and gonna follow you Karl nevertheless 👍ps. in your video in the small shed i saw at the door a english and a dutch flag , does that means we are kin? 😀 greeting from the other side of the water!
The energy bstds are taking the piss!
All the best bro!
Thank you Gavin, it's a joke isn't it at the moment. Let's hope the world sorts itself out.
Worry about nothing pray about everything
I've got a lot of thoughts on this Karl, firstly this is clearly tough for you mate and obviously heartbreaking.
Remember mate nobody, thinks less of someone who has a go! And your lad has seen you put in the effort and show him what it takes to be a man.
I love my dad, he gave me my work ethic, my mentality my effort, he's the reason I am who I am, and I think your lad will look at you like that. You remind me if my dad! And that's the biggest compliment i could give anyone.
Your business might not be what you wanted and some would say its stalled in that sense but I'd say you'd succeeded as a father and as a friend to your son, and that's amazing.
I wish you all the best mate, I'll always be a supporter and fan, take the time you need and keep going. And be proud of what you have and what you've achieved, good luck boys, all the best, Ben
I'll be back but u better not be giving up a swear! I'll come back end the video! 😮😬
Not likely mate.
@@karlpopewoodcraft better not be. A can see things are hard but your spot on what u do it'll sort itself out. Ave also heard other creators having yt problems just need get u guys noticed bit more. 👍🏴
