    What an awesome and heartfelt way to use you teak....It seems Athena has been giving you a lot more than just a project. We first began watching you from the beginning..Pre Athena and we liked you very much...now we have grown to love your videos and love the way you have blossomed. You have really overcome your shyness and have grown so much...truth is we love watching Ava too..she has the same cuteness and shy side you first had too..we think you make a great couple..congratulations🍾🍾💐🥂🥂💐🥰🇨🇦

    You and Ava so deserve one another. Thank you so much for sharing. Baseball season is opening so I will miss your live stream; I'm so glad to have found you before you proposed. There are so many words and none I can find properly express the joy you and Ava give. The love a man and woman develop for one another is insanely powerful. So please, keep on keeping on. You folks are perfect.

    good evening Mads.just wanted to let you know that I'm living in the past -that is im a year behind on your progress and i am absolutely hooked.your work and patience is envious .
    i am a year behind because i have been doing my own little yacht restoration and have now finished, so what is better than doing your own boat -watching someone else toiling away.
    congrats on your engagement to Ava by the way.i did however go to my hardware store and ask for some doohickeys and they just looked at me in a funny way and called the police.haha.

    @badams7873 5 лет назад

    congratulations!!!! After 25 years of marriage my husband made me a metal spinner ring on his lathe. I have a big diamond but I love my spinner ring more because of the time and effort he put into it. And the diamond gets caught on stuff., I hope you made one for yourself and you can have matching wedding bands.

    I am so happy for you two. I've been following your journey for more than 3 years now, going through both good but rough times also. You are the reason I am waiting for the weekend to end so that I can see what you have been up to on your build. You've been and are like an old friend who I see every week on RUclips, but I hope, I really hope, that someday our paths will cross and we will get to know each other in person! CONGRATULATIONS again, and I wish you all the best! (p.s.: That ring tho... wow)

Not only is Ava getting a wonderful and resourceful human being for a life partner you are getting a beautiful and spirited partner as well. May Oden bless you both with joy and happiness.
    Now get back to work and get Athena finished so that wonderful lady of yours has a nice home to take everywhere in the world with you. See you next week.
