    You really need to do more videos on anything. You break things down so well. Your common sense approach and use of practical things is so refreshing. I would love to see more. Even just general tips and tricks that are being forgotten but work. Please share more of your knowledge.

    You only have one video? You must have so many other ideas? With all of the detail you gave with this video, we need you to create more videos and things! So we can all watch and wonder at your creativity!
    Thank you, for making this! I love it to much! I am going to try to makes one, so wish me luck?

    the best Nutcracker soldiers I have seen anywhere . Thank you for showing us your skill in design making a strong build. I will make a green and a red pair for Christmas this year so I better get scrounging parts. I am like you, part of the enjoyment in a project is making it on the cheap.

    I totally love watching you make the nutcracker, so simple and so much from home leftover projects or whatever you have, simply to follow instructions so detailed with all the extra 2x4 for bracings. Now I want to make myself a Patriotic Nutcracker for the Memorial and 4th of July. Thanks so much for your sharing. Hope to see more of your work.............. Edith
