This is why I follow you, you are not just a maker, you’re a storyteller who makes. A good son, and from the looks of it a remarkable being. Beautiful story and a nice build.
Thanks! Appreciate it alot!
Lost my dad to cancer as well. Hats off to how beautifully you paid tribute to him
Thank you and sorry for your loss
I came here to watch the making and I left sobbing and wanting to hug my dad. God bless you and your memories. Thank you for sharing.
My dad passed from a rare blood cancer in 2017. He knew me as a DIYer, but didn’t live long enough to know me as a woodworker. In 2023 I made him a bottle opener for Christmas and gave it to my mom to hold on to since he wasn’t alive to receive it. ❤
what a nice thing to do. thanks for sharing 🙏
I feel you! Saying good bye too early to your father is tough. Making this video as a tribute to him is part of the healing process. I did the same thing on my channel and it was very helpful to my mourning process. My father was murdered when I was 17 and I wish he could have been around to see all that I have accomplished.
Im so sorry to hear that mate. Its been a long process I guess but telling our stories will probably help others as well
Thank you Pierre.
No matter how old we get, we would all love to hear our father say I'm proud of you son.
Your stool looks incredible. That wooden screw is cool.
You welding is coming along nicely.
Thank you 🙏
I lost my mother a decade ago, and I constantly wish I could share things with her. This was a beautiful story, and a beautiful piece of work. Good job.
Lost my dad last month and this video broke me. Thank you for sharing the healing words.
So sorry to hear that!
Wow! I didn’t expect this. What a beautiful tribute! That’s a very personal story and I’m sure it took a lot of courage to share it…… i’m just glad you did. Thank you!
It did for sure. Im still scared :) Thank you!
Now I know I’m a good friend of yours but as a son and more importantly a father this is undoubtedly the best video of the year.
I see so much of my father in me and so much of how I want to be a better father. Thanks for all the feelings this video makes me feel. Who would have thought a woodworking video could make you feel this way. Thanks so much Pierre for making me realise what a great father I had and how I to be a better father to my sons cheers mate
I already know you as a good friend and from what I can tell - a great father and the best of a friend. 🙏
Very moving.
Its brave of you to open like that to... well, everyone.
Thank you.
Sounds like a great Dad, just like mine was. 63Y was way too young for my Dad. You got me in tears, despite the very nice furniture you made in the meanwhile. Stay strong and keep your good memories alive and forget the bad ones.
Thank you and like wise!
Not just a beautiful stool, but a beautiful story! I hope making both the stool and video gave you some comfort too. There is no doubt that a tribute like this from a son would make ANY dad proud! Thank you for sharing this in such a genuine way.
thank you 🙏
A very moving video.
You touched a very raw nerve for me. I lost my mum and step-father in the last 18 months.
I held back my tears, I nearly made it to the end of the video. Towards the end I could hear your voice breaking up. Like my voice does. Every day, in my mind I talk to my mum and step-father but before I’ve ended my ‘conversation’ with them I have tears in my eyes.
Lost my dad in February 2015, he was a woodworker and welder by trade. You've inspired me to remake some of his furniture that I grew up with that he had made.
what a great idea - thanks for sharing
Beautiful story Pierre. Thank-you for sharing ❤ Sorry for your loss.
That was the most touching heartfelt video I have ever watched. I'm all teared up watching this as a dad and a son and a grandson. This video meant so much to me, I can only imagine what it meant to you. You are an amazing creator. Thank you for sharing so much for all of us to benefit.
I’m lucky enough to still have my dad- you’ve reminded me to make the most of that and give him a call in the morning. Thanks.
you should! thanks!
Thanks for sharing your story. I find myself going in my dads footsteps as well. Lost him two years ago. I took over his old workshop and every thing I do, I keep asking myself if he would have liked the result. I miss him every day, but use my time in the workshop to remember him in a positive and constructive way..
sorry for your loss and thanks for sharing
that's good stuff man.
Lost my mom at the beginning of this year, also cancer, started my new journey 2 years ago, im happy to have seen her proud for my last steps
Thank you for sharing this personal and touching story. Although my father is still alive, it resonates strongly with me. Thank you for sharing this.
I'm 20 seconds into the video and i'm already crying listening to your words. I've been starting my woodworking business since a couple of months after dreaming it for 5 years, I'm 33 and I lost my dad in November '23, everyday I wish he could see me doing what I do.
Sorry about your loss! Keep making man!
What a beautiful story, build, and sentiment.
To all the sons missing fathers ... Cheers ❤
thank you!
What a wonderful tribute to your father. My dad was similar to yours in so many of the ways you mention. I became an engineer because I saw my dad making things, sometimes from the simplest materials, for my mum and our family home. He was never a touchy-feely kind of dad but he always did the best for his family. It was very moving to hear you talk about your dad, and I could hear the emotion in your voice, especially towards the end of the video. I lost my dad to cancer in 2014, and everytime I make or fix something I'm reminded of him.
I felt the continuity of it all a few weeks ago when my son messaged me from his home asking how to fix the brakes on his bike, only to message again about 5 minutes later to say he had worked it out and it was fixed; I smiled and thought of my dad, knowing he would approve.
Tack för att du delade denna berättelse, jag kände igen mig i så mycket.
Jag förlorade min mamma i cancer för 7 år sedan.
Varma hälsningar från Norge.
-Fredrik
Made me tear up in the end! Felt this truly as I lost my dad to cancer too when I was just 23. I wish he could see me now and my beautiful family and his granddaughter! I’m sure he would be so proud ❤
Thank you very much for your video. I came here right away to leave some nice comments, but I realized there are many people who feel the same way I do.
My father and I are also makers. I feel very lucky that I can still show my father what I make and express my gratitude for what he has taught me. After watching your video, I decided to call him. Thank you very much for your content, and congratulations on being such a great father.
Greetings from Brazil.
Thanks a lot 🙏
Pierre, thanks for sharing this emotional story. Although my father had a long live life, I still miss him dearly and often would like to show him my projects or experiences. Good memories and fond feelings are of pivotal importance.
Prostatic cancer took my father two years ago. I feel you exactly. Take care, this is life!
Sorry to hear. Take care
Pierre, nu fick du mig att gråta. Jobbade med din pappa på Fyllingeskolan. Han är saknad. Vilken glädjespridare! Fortsätt med det du gör!
Tack Robin! 🙏❤️
This resonated with me as I lost my father on Saturday. So far the grief hasn't really set in, but I'm trying to focus on the fact we had a great relationship and he had a great life
Im sorry for your loss. That is the right focus - I did the same
Thanks for sharing all the work you put into this piece and the feelings you had behind it. I know your dad would be proud, both of the woodworking and the video..
Man, that was touching, and not just because you told almost my my dad's and my story...
It took me almost two years to stop to grab for my phone to call him when I wasn't sure at something, but even nowadays I try to see my projects through his eyes. This is the strong father's legacy.
I do respect and thank you for this video (too).
Your father sounds like he was amazing guy....my condolences. I am sure he would have been very proud of your beautiful stool. it was a pleasure to watch you build it and I admit...I'm a bit teary listening to your story.
Thank you!
What a powerful video. I have a similar feeling with my mother, we lost her to cancer two years ago. She was my partner in crime and we were two peas in a pod. I miss her every minute of every day but I know she would be proud of every project I complete and almost every decision I make. I thank you greatly for sharing the story of your relationship with your father ❤️
Im sure she would be. Thank you for sharing
I feel your pain. Just lost my Dad a couple of months ago and I identify with your emotions. The best thing we can do is to live our lives the best we can and cherish our parents love and life. Good luck to you my friend!
Thanks for sharing this story! You have given myself reason to pause and enjoy my kids more.
Great video. Powerful and touching meditation about your dad. My condolences on his passing. I’m glad you’re finding peace and ways to make him proud and connect with him even after his passing. You have motivated me to put more effort into my relationship with my dad, thank you for that.
I not only watch your video’s because they are fun, but also the relaxing voice.
Specially at the end of the video I could hear the emotion.
I still have my dad, so I cannot understand the feeling, but you made me feel it as far as I can understand it.
You’re a legend for being this open!
thank you! 🙏
Thankyou for sharing such an emotional story, and not being afraid to let us hear your emotion.
Thank you! Appreciate it
Thanks mate. It sounds like your dad was a good man. You know, they never go away completely while we remember them. He's in your heart. Or in heavens above, if you prefer. But he's smiling now.
This is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your story about your relationship with your father whilst making such a beautiful piece of furniture. I love your content.
This is a great story. It resonated with me for the similarities of the loss. One thing it took me over 40 years to learn was that the shift of a father-son relationship from parent/child into man/man is awesome. I didn't really get to enjoy that with my Dad, but have come to treasure it with my son. I hear the loss in your voice, but just know I'm happy for you because you got to have that level of relationship with your Dad. He's proud of you, I am certain.
Lost my dad after a long fight as well. I can relate to the feelings you describe in your video.
Thank you so much for this video it helped put some things into perspective.
Thank you ❤
I'm fortunate to have my parents still with me and as a (soon) 40 yo, still proud to show them what I do in my shop. My dad use to say "Det finns inget som heter ´Jag kan inte´". Translates to "There's no such thing as "I can´t do it""
He's words still comes back to me when I stumble into new territories or cant figure things out. I teach my kids the same motivation and also adding my on flairs to it. Hoping that one day when they get stuck in difficult situations. They too can hear my voice in their heads, helping them when I'm not around.
Thanks for sharing your story. It really hit right where it needed. And btw. Nice Stool.
This was very touching and wonderful to watch and listen to. Thank you so much for your openness and bravery to share this story with the world.❤ You are a great storyteller and it is beautiful to watch you grow!
thank you! Appreciate it
Thank you for sharing your story. While I still have my dad, my girlfriend lost her dad 2 years ago to cancer. He was literally one of my best friends and yesterday we celebrated his would have been 60th birthday. You brought up tears in my eyes when you were talking about pushing him away and you feel sorry for him... it is exactly what I'm going through right now. My dad got diagnosed with dementia and Alzheimer and every day, me and my mom, have to say goodbye to a part of him. We feel sorry for him. You see such a big strong man slowly getting worse. It is the worst feeling. Thank you, again, for opening yourself up to your audience and have your true feelings come out, especially at the end. I wish you all the strength
Thank you so much for sharing this. A truly beautiful piece and a loving and warmhearted story. I too lost my dad to cancer and he, as yours, was a father who I would still love to show my makings to.☺️❤️ But your way was really loveing and i thank you for that. Greatings from Denmark
thank you! 🙏
What a powerful and amazing video. Your dad would have been proud and what you made is beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you! 🙏
A piece of art, very well made and this made me emotional as well. Thanks for sharing a maker's story this way.
Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. I’m sure we all have our father stories and how we choose to remember them and how as we get older, those memories and lessons change, as we do. We lost our dad a few years ago. He was a strong and proud man and father. He worked very hard through his life providing for us all and earned a lot of respect from us, his peers and his coworkers. Coming from Holland and doing all of the “first of things” his diamond cutting skills he created due to his incredible passion. I miss him dearly!!! Thank you again for sharing.
I feel you! Thanks for sharing!
I lost my dad to cancer 24 years ago. I still miss him and wish I could show him the things I’ve made or done. Great video. Keep it up. We are proud of you.
Thank you 🙏
I can’t even explain how I feel. You getting so personal, I feel proud to be one of your subscribers. This new style leaves me anticipating, not your next project which the stool is beautiful by the way; but I am more excited for your next story. This new style for you is truly wonderful.
As always such a wonderful storyteller. Thank you for sharing. Hit me right in the feels. Genuine honesty on the internet is a rare thing. Keep up the amazing work.
thank you 🙏 appreciate it
Amazing remembrance, thoughtful and sincere. You were so lucky to have a dad like that! There is a saying in life that goes, "As a young man, we spend our first few years idolizing our dads, then through our teen years, we spend that time trying to be jut the opposite of them, then the rest of our lives trying to be exactly like them". Amazing video, sorry for your loss, but so grateful for your sharing!
I've watched a number of your videos as they have been funneled to me through the algorithm but today I became a subscriber. This was so well put together and really hit me. Thank you.
thank you! appreciate it
WOW!! Lost mine 2 years ago... This one hits so hard! Just keep going! He is sooooo proud!
Thank you! Sorry for your loss
It's been over 13 years since I lost my dad. I loved this video, it struck a chord in my heart. Thank you for sharing especially for such a close personal subject.
Having lost Mum to breast cancer in May this year, this video resonated so strongly with me. I always sought her approval and never understood her peculiar ways. But she loved everything I did and supported me in every way. It was a tough video for me (and clearly for you) but was honest and deep from the heart.
By the way, I also made a stool while Mum was in the final stages of her battle with cancer. The stool was a thick laminated top with a hand carved saddle (butt hollow) and edges, and steel box section legs (MIG welded and painted with hammer finish). She followed each step very closely but never got to see the finished stool in person.
Perdí a mi padre en 2017, es de las historias más maravillosas que he escuchado hacia un padre. Aprendiste de el y eres una nueva y mejor versión de el como así serán los tuyos. el proyecto es muy bello. Felicidades y saludos.
Gracias por compartir y por tus amables palabras.
That’s hand down the most passionate and heartfelt video I have seen on RUclips, the relationship between father and son can be a difficult one and the way you described your feelings, match how I felt with mine, who I also lost to cancer in 2022, your video brought a few tears but also reminded me again how much I miss him but also how much i respected him for what he did, you now have a new subscriber and I have a lot of videos to enjoy, thank you!
thank you and thanks for sharing
You did a great job, both on the stool as well as on the video and the story. Makes me want to hug my dad. Take care
Beautiful eulogy for your dad.
Without going into it too deeply you managed to strike a chord in every father relationship, I believe. Wes from Canada
I meant to say father,son relationship. Wes
Thank you! Appreciate it!
What a great tribute to your dad. I am sure a lot of us can relate to how you feel about him, and the relationship you had. I do for sure.
Also, it’s admirable that you dare to show your feelings like you do.
This really hit. My experiences with my dad were very much similar and I wish I'd had seen alot of things clearer much sooner. Mine passed away in 3 months due to cancer. Worst months of my life.
sorry about your loss! thanks for watching
I never had a chance to say goodbye to my dad, also couldn't let him go . I think losing a loving father is not something we can forget, i hope my and your fathers are in a better place now , free from all the pain they went through.
Agree! Thanks for watching
Thank you, I was similar to yourself and started doing videos just so I could show my dad what I had been making and try to make him proud of me. Since he past away I haven’t really had the same feeling about making videos, but I have been thinking of doing them again for my grandson. Watching this has made me remember, thank you.
Didn't expect to cry today, but i lost my dad when i was 19 and your story really resonated with me. Thank you.
I lost my dad too early as well. It was 13 years ago, and I miss him dearly, frequently! Thank you for sharing this story, your thoughts and emotions, and this build.
I'm surprised to find ourselves so similar. I too have felt like the imposter, fairly good at most things but never really really good at one thing. To hear you say this made me feel I'm not alone in the world. Like you I'm sticking with woodworking! We have similar thoughts about our Dads too. First time I've seen you and I will be subscribing. Can't wait to see your other video's especially the one showing wooden thread making. Thank you for posting such thoughtful and valuable content! regards from Western Australia. RM
Hey man! Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts - truly appreciate it.
I cried my eyes off! Damn man! Love ur story so much! And yes… ur dad was, is and will be proud of you!
Thank you. This touched me, deeply. My Father was from Sweden. Immigrated in 1922 to the USA. He was 50 when I was born so we had less time together than most. But the time we had together was spent wisely. He retired from carpentry when I was still in high school so we never really worked together. I realized that dream with my son. Thank you for your content. It's appreciated.
Thanks for sharing your story.
Thank you. This video really moved me in a way that I really needed with the very recent passage of my mother. Thank you MOM.
sorry for your loss and thanks for sharing
Lovely and heart warming story that impacted me more than I thought it would. Thank you! Oh, and the stool is lovely too! Well done.
Thank you! Appreciate it!
Beautiful video, made me call my Dad just to chat - Such an amazing tribute to an extraordinary father!
Thank you! Im glad you told me you did that
This was a beautiful video. Your dad is so proud of you!
What an amazing tribute to your Dad. My Dad passed away in 2015 and I've never stopped missing him. The workshop I have today, and my interest in working with wood comes form the times I spent with him when I was a kid, helping him with his own projects. They are some of my favorite childhood memories. I fought with him for all the same reasons you fought with your Dad but in the end, none of that mattered. All that matters now is that he was an amazing Dad and I love him very much.
Thank you. Tears fill my own eyes at much of what you said. I too had a similar relationship with my dad, who was a mathamatician, where i was the dreamer. Much of what I see in who I grew to be is through hindsight of my relationship to my dad, and the choices we made. Its odd how when we were young, I saw the differences. And now only when I am his age, I see the similarities between us.
I lost him 7 years ago from early onset alzheimers. I feel the signs of myself having the same condition, and fear the impact I and it will have on my own son and family.
Thank you for sharing. You take care of your self
Thanks… I can relate to your story.. a truly great storyteller too. It brought back strong memories for me too.. Regards from right over the border.
I am sure he is beyond proud of you. I'm sorry for your loss. Lost my dad in 2002 due to leukemia.
Sorry to hear that! Thank you
Right in the feels.
Such a beautiful video. Your Dad would have been so proud of you. ❤
thank you - I hope so 🙏
Not a lot makes me emotional. This did. I choked up at the end. I nearly lost my Dad to a heart attack a few years ago. He was dead for 8minutes, but CPR kept him going.
Beautiful stool. Beautiful memories and incredible video.
Good morning 🌅, That was a great story about how to make a story about a stool and who created it, the truth is your mother and father created it as they created you, The Artist The Swedish Maker, may your stories live on as same as your work, I wish you all success for the future, France.
thank you a lot! 🙏
I’m assembling cabinets on the shop floor at work with tears streaming down my face and headphones in. Fantastic video. I’m calling my father the minute I leave work today because I am lucky enough to be able to do so.
I’m sorry for your loss but happy for your gain in perspective and other things.
Fuck cancer.
Wow, I wasn't expecting this. Thank you for sharing, it was beautiful and moving.
Thank you!
Lovely design. Especially like the combination of materials and the use of 3D prints. 👏🏻
Thank you!
That was very touching. Thanks for sharing.
I really appreciate this commentary over beautiful woodworking...and the humility of showing the mistakes/speaking into your challenges. Well shared.
Thank you! 🙏
I lost my father twenty years ago. By many metrics her was a horribly abusive man to me and my mother, but I often saw him desperately fighting his demons and trying to reach out and include me in his endeavors. He was very fond of traveling and we'd often just get in the car with no destination in mind and go for an "adventure" as he called them.
For the last twenty years I've been missing a relationship I never had and will never have with him. Many times I've daydreamed of what it could have been had he addressed his mental health issues. He was an incredibly intelligent man who loved to read and he'd debate with me for hours, but ultimately he lived a tormented existence and he took out his pain on his family.
I often live vicariously through videos like these and seeing other people and the great relationships they have with their fathers. Thank you for uploading this. Here's to great dads and not-so-great ones (though he tried). I miss you dad.
❤
I lost my dad almost exactly 10 years ago but still think of him every day - even more so when watching this video. I almost helped him with all tasks around the house from hanging a painting to installing skylight, a new central heating amd much more. I did a lot of metal working as a hobby and I made some nice tools for him, dad mostly did some model building and woodworking. When he died my mom wanted to get rid of all his tools as soon as possible, some special tools went to good friends of us, the rest is now filling up my workshop. I don't use them that much but I don't want to part with them. Each time I use these tools it's like dad is still with me
thank you for sharing that - I feel the same way about some of my tools that I inherited 🙏
I lost my dad a month ago and your video put it all into perspective for me. Thank you.
sorry to hear that ❤️🙏
I lost my Dad 25 years ago and I don't think there are many days that I don't think about him. He used to annoy the hell out of me when I was growing up but after a while, I realised that I had turned into him and that was a good thing, he was a good man. I often regret him not seeing how far I'd come and what I have achieved but I hope that he knows.
Im sure he does. Thanks for sharing
That is a beautiful stool, and an even more beautiful story. My dad has done on too. He would have been proud of me and my brothers, doing woodworking like he did.
Thank you for sharing. I miss having my father around, too. I suppose it is just life's natural cycle, but it is nice to come across a creator willing to relate the all-too-familiar yet oh-so-personal. Again, thanks.
Beautiful video. I never said to my kids « I’m proud of you » even though I was extremely proud of them. Instead, I always said « you can be proud of yourself » just to release as much as pressure to please someone else, even their dad. Your dad maybe never said he was proud of you, I don’t know but he was surely proud of you.
Wow... there's a lot to unpack there and you did it beautifully. The dynamic between a father and son can be complicated and difficult because the young and the old always see the world through different eyes. But with the passage of time, we eventually begin to see ourselves and our fathers in a different light. One day we look in the mirror and see our fathers looking back at us and we begin to realize that in spite of the conflicts and arguments, we were always more similar than different. When we have sons of our own, the circle closes and we gain a better understanding of what our fathers went through. At that point, insight, forgiveness and some amount of guilt usually follows. I think this process is especially poignant for makers like us. One of the reasons I like to create functional and (hopefully) beautiful things for my children and other important people in my life is to leave something behind after I'm gone. Perhaps one of them will be inspired to pick up some tools and make something of their own. I'm sure your Dad was very proud of you and you've created a lovely tribute to him.
Thank you! You make some good points. Even if they won't pick up the tools I think we do leave them with the sentiment of making
I’m glad you have good memories of your dad, feeling sorry for someone in pain isn’t weakness it’s a sign of love and empathy, don’t beat yourself up about feeling that way it’s totally normal. My mum passed away 7 years ago yesterday I still have day that I’m caught off guard and it come flooding back, and at 9pm I still to this day think oh mums going to ring in a minute as we would talk everyday at that time for an hour or so, I didn’t really know my father he died when I was 5 years old, I’m sure I would be a totally different person if he had lived but then I doubt I would have had the close relationship I had with mum, which is something I cherish 😊❤ great stool btw 😊👍
Thank you! You're right! Thanks for sharing
Thank you for the wonderful story of your Dad. The stool burned out amazing!
Thank you 🙏
Lovely story, very heart warming.
