    Your chanel truely is a blessing, Jason. Not only for your skill and patience but also for the lack of attention-seeking. No blasting music, no fancy intro, no begging for subscription. Just the pure beauty of creating masterpieces from scratch.
    A concept that seems to work for a lot of viewers. Almost at 30k views not even 24h after upload.
    Just as most of us grabbing a drink and finding some quiet place to watch your work, I hope you do the same when browsing through the hundrets of comments of appreciation and praise.
    Thanks for your inspiration Jason!

    I have been watching this guys videos for a few years. Everytime I am just blown away by the craftsmanship and details, he adds to all his projects. It's not new wood from a big box store or exotic woods, it's stuff he is recycling into a piece of artwork. The end results are astonishing.
