Lennard Hartman and mine i got a wife who dont speak to me kids think im hopeless and no money to get a house like this ever life truly sucks some people so lucky
Good on you for foregoing comfort and security to do what you love. At least I assume you love it if you left a good job for it. Hopefully you can make money off of woodworking before you run out of money. Hope it works out for you.
I’m moving my shop into a 12’ x 24’ shed… it’s kinda small, but way more space than I’m used too. I just wanted to tell you that I enjoyed your video. You sir, are living my dream. That’s a beautiful home/land/shop you have there. I’m 58 and retired due to health reasons. They recently found six tumors on my liver and both kidneys. I hope to have about 5 years left, and plan on living out the rest of my days in my shop. It is, my happy place… I love it so much. I hope this msg finds you in good health. I just wanted to say “hi”. Take care sir. 🤝🏻

Ed is a great friend, amazing craftsman, and mentor. If you are lucky in life, you meet a person who changes your life in the most positive and inspiring way, Ed is that to me. Michael
Living the dream! Great story, I’m retired after being a welder, fabricator and machinist for 36 years and now spend most of my days woodworking which has always been a passionate hobby of mine for as long as I can remember. It’s great to see someone who loves what they do. There’s something extra special about working with and building with wood!
If the opportunity ever arose, i would work with him for free. Wow. Just the amount of knowledge, experience, inspiration and having a boss that's so calm and down to earth. Heck i might even pay him for such an opportunity...
Sei una persona meravigliosa a creare tutte queste cose in legno, per la casa. Tutto questo proviene dal tuo cuore e dall'anima che c'è in te. Grazie mille ciao.
I always said it was a shame they removed woodshop, welding, and mechanics shop from schools. Imagine how many more kids could be introduced to the world of crafting or how many wouldn't be craftsman today if they didnt off them back In the day. It's sad they remove the fun parts of school and just teach to pass a test
they ended wood shop in my school the year i left, i loved it much i became a joiner. So i think its sad that kids now would rather play computer games than make something to be proud of
What a satisfying life. Making legacy pieces of furniture that will be passed on from generation to generation. Work and family he loves in a beautiful spot while keeping fit. #winning
Rest in Peace Mr. Wohl.... Your style and work is legendary. I always come to this video to sneak and look at your inventions and get inspiration for ideas.... Your lifelong craftmanship of the Art will forever be unmatched. I'm absolutely sure they have a shop in Heaven and you are surrounded by "thee" best our World has ever known.
Thanks for the clip. I have just started woodworking and I'm 43. I have just spent most of my Christmas holiday to make a jewellery box for my daughter. When I have it to her, all polished and shiny, the look in her face ,, priceless. Now I'm thinking making a box for my wife.
I so admire people who have the talent and resolve to create something. Last time I made something was a wood duck for my father in 4th or 5th grade. Four decades later he still has it in his living room.
Het maakt me blij om te zien hoeveel plezier je ondervindt aan je geweldige creaties. Ik zelf ben 71 jaar en hoop nog een hoger niveau te bereiken. Het ga je goed met je werk en familie. groetjes Hans It makes me happy to see how much fun you are having with your amazing creations. I myself am 71 years old and hope to reach a higher level. You go well with your work and family. Greetings Hans
Who thumbs down videos like these? I'm mean really! It's pure bliss and inspiration. Can't give a big enough hug for all the joy I'm feeling. A tip of the hat to you, good sir!!
@@reservoirvideo personally i could give a shit. I just find it outrageous he charges what he does. His target clientele is obviously no one i have ever met and i assure you we "metalworkers" have better things to do than thumbs down your videos. We're too busy charging reasonable prices for our work.
the AI youtube thumbs down bots . there are millions of them all over youtube created for nothing more than to post thumbs downs to those who dont deserve it . and some that DO !
Mostly I would say the Thumbs Down crowd are left leaning liberals. This fellow has ensconced himself into a lifestyle that the outside world can't touch. They can only look in on him and wish. It takes considerable envy and SOME self loathing to click thumbs down on this video.
thank you for this zen break in my workday - this was better than meditating. Your shop is so clean. Beautiful designs and wood. Great life, congratulations!
After tons of amateurish woodworks clogging the RUclips algorithm I finally get to see a true craftsman. This guy is up there with the likes of Sam Maloof and James Krenov. Very inspiring. Guys like this drives me to be the best I can be at everything I do, whether it's working or making knives. I hope to have property and a nice little shop someday.
Mr Wohl - you are living my life! :-) Give it back! I am very jealous on one hand, and very happy for you on the other. What a life you have - it is perfect. I too work with my wife all day every day, and I agree, there is no better way to work. You are a model for how to do it right Mr Wohl. Thank you!
this may look like a dream, but it's hard work. hard work you will never be able to endure, much less enjoy, unless it's really your essence. finding your essence in life, that's the tricky part.
I had the same experience growing up - always got a bang out of building things. I built a scooter to ride to first grade on the first day. This is my 52 year being a carpenter - remodeler. I really enjoyed your video and the quality of your work.
Thank you for adding such an insightful, gentle and challenging video. Ed's philosophy is so sound and it's been great for me to see it at a time when I'm considering directions for myself and my family. What a pleasure - if only 1% of views on the 'Tube were of pieces of this quality and soundness, humanity may experience a somewhat marked improvement! Many regards from Sydney, Aust - Dave
i watch this video like every few months, never fails to put a smile on my face. the more the world gets littered with nondescript, garbage office jobs in figuratively obese companies, the more i get fascinated with people who have actual skills...
Loved every moment, especially the large racket for the finale shot ( I laughed so hard I woke my roommate), I will continue to observe and learn, thank you good sir
This is my dream. A nice property, a shop next to my house and a loving family to come home to
you and me alike !
May all your dreams come true Hartman.Lord ! He ain't askin for much.Give it to him....;)))))
LordSear1982 This is true, I live in Ct, its impossible to find anything for a reasonable price. I would love to live out in the country.
Lennard Hartman and mine i got a wife who dont speak to me kids think im hopeless and no money to get a house like this ever life truly sucks some people so lucky
Mine too. But property are prohibitively expensive and good girls are extinct.
I've quit my good-paying job as an engineer and started doing woodworking which I do in the shop at the back of my house. I have never been happier!
I'd like to do the same
Good on you for foregoing comfort and security to do what you love. At least I assume you love it if you left a good job for it. Hopefully you can make money off of woodworking before you run out of money. Hope it works out for you.
I feel like every engineer wishes they had just went to trade school.
good on ya man! I think of getting back into it full time my self
Good for you!
Simply wonderful.
What an inspiration...

Winning at life. Well played dude.
This guy is literally living my dream. And I only live about an hour from him!
Mine to but I live in southern Brazil😊
Same here. I'm working towards it, and this was a well needed motivation.
I’m in N. Illinois, love Spring Green. So did Frank Lloyd Wright
get to work then!
go get an apprenticeship
Amazing
You've played the game of life very well Sir, good health to you and yours! :)
What a great way of looking at life. Lovely sense of humour.

you are a lucky man for knowing this man

This poor, sad world needs more beautiful souls like Edward to give it more light. What an inspiration. Thank you os much for sharing.
Simply beautiful ❤️

294 thumbs down, wow!!! Have we lost our sense of appreciation for amazing work and dedication to art?
He stated, at the beginning of the video, just about everything a woodworker has ever thought :). Perfect.
Working with wood is like therapeutic treatment for your mind.
Very true. I feel the same for myself.
Absolutely 🤘
Krazy fucker Yes, it is a pain in the ass...if you’re lazy.
true! ❤️
Very well said, it can be so relaxing and seeing the finished article, hardly anything so satisfying.
I think I went to school with his daughter 🤔
And the woodwork is so beautiful ❤❤i love it
Yup I was right😊
What a pleasure to watch. A true craftsman.
Simplemente maravilloso, el hombre, su espíritu, su entusiasmo y la madera... la madera siempre.❤🇪🇦
I’m lucky enough to do the exact same thing in England. I love my life and consider myself very lucky.
Aaron F- I'm absolutely sure you made your own luck mate 😇👍

Thank you RUclips algorithm for showing me Eric and his craft in this wholesome video.
... 5 years to late lol
@@tiddlytimmeh9649 Yeah it only came up on my feed the otherday. RUclips giving out the rewind love. Ha!

ABSOLUTLY Wicked........ Thank you to your wife and team..... And your self.
A genius with a sense of humor.
What a life !!!!!!! God bless you

they ended wood shop in my school the year i left, i loved it much i became a joiner. So i think its sad that kids now would rather play computer games than make something to be proud of
Corporations need slaves to generate their dividents. They don't want self employment.
My 13 year old is in woodshop this year.
Thomas S Yeah that's a shame isn't it? This generation of kids are computerized.
What a satisfying life. Making legacy pieces of furniture that will be passed on from generation to generation. Work and family he loves in a beautiful spot while keeping fit. #winning
Oh lucky man! Your smile says it all.

You live a tranquil life in a beautiful place, sir. You are blessed.

unbelievable video....this is art
I so admire people who have the talent and resolve to create something. Last time I made something was a wood duck for my father in 4th or 5th grade. Four decades later he still has it in his living room.
This is called a passionate living
Wish i could be the same
God bless you Edward Sir
Great shop, great home , great family, God has blessed you in many ways, be thankful.
What a thoroughly wonderful, talented, and happy man.
You have found your shangri -la, and are blessed with total contentment and peace. Not many people can say that.
Mr Wohl, you are a true artist and craftsman.

Never mind your fancy high end commercial names, this is beautiful, simple and timeless.
What an absolute joy. Greetings and peace from England.
I feel that smile on his face after he finishes the lamp he made. Feels so good to complete something
Love the Manuel Drafting design no computer. Pen and paper there is something special to that. Great video thanks for the insight!
Who could ever give this a thumbs down . It made me feel good watching it !
RESPECT Sir. The world could do with a few more people who fill it with beautiful things.
What a beautiful man and a beautiful artisan
This is beautiful, thank you for this video

I’m first generation woodworker in my family would love to pass it down to my kids. Just as you have.
thank you for this zen break in my workday - this was better than meditating. Your shop is so clean. Beautiful designs and wood. Great life, congratulations!
Beautiful work Mr Wohl and a beautiful story of your life and family.
That much smoothness! means how much you put your heart on that piece of wood! Loved it! Really inspiring story! :)
Wow!! ...There are still wonderful people around!!

Awesome very inspirational God bless you and your family ❤
That made me smile throughout. A pleasure to see someone when there work is their joy 😊
Watched this video 3 times during different times in my life.. Just brings me peace.. Thank you!
Beautiful story, excellent cinematography, and very inspiring work.
Hats off to this woodworking master.

Stunning in many ways!

I love the concept of perfection and smoothness everywhere, even in hidden areas. It makes it organic to me.
The secret to life is happiness. Clearly you are there. I only hope I get there to.
Beautiful craftsmanship!
And he still has all his fingers!
