    I just sold my first coffee table. All made out of construction wood. I spent about $35 and had some extra wood laying around the house. I sold it for $120. I delivered it, and it looked so good in that ladies house. She thanked me and couldn’t stop saying how beautiful it look. Such a good feeling. Thanks for all the good info. Keep on cutting along.

    I dont tell this to people often, and especially here so openly on RUclips.
    I am a recovery drug addict.
    I did heroin and pain pills for 15+ years...and I'm lucky to be here today, when I should have died so many times.
    I wanted to become sober for my 3 sons. It was extremely hard to do, and I had struggled with finding a way to do it, and on my terms. I have found recovery program and have been with it for 3 years now.
    I had always been into construction work, and found the transition into wood working fairly easy.
    Getting all the tools I needed is a bit challenging for a 46 year old man start9over from zero....but, I'm finding a way.
    I have to admit, these videos like this, truly are an inspiration.
    I've been watching them while I hand saw a log to get pieces of wood I want and need for a project( makes me wish I had a band saw!!!!)....
    Thanks for the time that you put into making your videos. I know I appreciate it, and I'm sure so do so many others......
    When I'm finished with the project that I'm working on, I'll send you a picture via Facebook.....

    You and your family are a true inspiration, thank you so very much. I am starting with woodworking at age 46 after losing my job last year, I just did not have the courage to face people in our small town called Rustenburg in South Africa, early in 2020 I decided I had to do something to occupy my mind and face and conquer my fear of people. Whenever I have a "bad day" I watch one of your video's and tomorrow I get up and start working, ready to face anything. Please don't stop. I am absolutely blessed, like you, to have an amazing husband and family and friends who all support me.

Put your own special touch on your projects and they'll bring you rewards. Keep the faith! And follow Matt!

      having a "plan B" for our careers/jobs is something I've been talking about for years - life in America is changing and so I have learned to woodwork, wire wrap Jewelry and grow microgreens - so far the microgreens is quickest to take off but woodworking is good too. Good luck and work hard - it'll pay off.

    Wow! Not only are you a woodworker, you are a motivational speaker. You are right about having the motivation and confidence to do whatever you want to do. I don't know where I got it from, but I always thought I could make stuff. I got into woodworking big time by watching a guy on RUclips. He was doing wainscoting. We need wainscoting. I said "I can do that!" Haven't done the wainscoting yet, but have made a bunch of interior barn door shutters. People say they look professional. The key is to watch a lot of RUclips, measure accurately, and cut precisely. Everything you say on this video is true. Just do it! By the way, my old HS students used to make me say "I like it a lot". I would say it I-like-it-alot, almost as one word. like you. It would make them laugh.

    Love your story. I started out wanting to make things because I couldn't afford them. As a single mom of four... I bought a used miter saw and sander for $50 and picked up free pallets and discarded 2x's from building sites. My workbench was a stack of pallets and a folding table. I found Jay Bates as well and Steve Ramsey. I build that same outdoor chair and table. But built it for myself. I've built lots of projects from his channel. Still a big fan of Jay. I upgraded my tools with a AdSense money as well from some monetized videos about using a Cricut. Now I have an amazing shop full of tools. I often look to your channel when I'm planning my next build and need inspiration. Thank you for all that you share!

    Today as a beginner in the woodcraft, I was struggling really bad with trying to make a cabinet to fit my wifes old window she bought. I pretty much gave up all hopes of getting any better. I turned off the lights to my small garage and went in the house shaking my head and ready to sell my new tools. By chance, I turned on RUclips to look up your channel and came across this video, I watched it and you gave me hope that even I can get better. I did what you did and went and found the outdoor table and chairs and felt redeemed in your words! Thanks for the video and I look foreword to more of your great videos to help the struggling beginner like myself. Now, if I can figure out how to make that cabinet!

      @Paul Cox yup. I bought a bunch from OfferUp and that's worked out pretty good. Some of the older guys who are getting out of the hobby or retiring or, in a couple of cases guys who bought bulk returns from big box stores (like those Amazon pallets I'm sure everybody has heard about but never had the desire to buy). I got a smokin' deal on a brand new, complete Makita circular saw because the box was crumpled. It quickly became my favorite tool (once I stuck a Diablo 40T blade on it). On the flip side, I bought a brand new, complete Ryobi jig saw kit from another guy that seems to have a blade alignment issue -- or, I'm a moron -- but I'll either figure it out or master cutting wood like an 18 year old in a buzz car, drifting around corners sidewise. 😁

    I truly like this video. I am from South Africa. I am a woodworker and have been for three years. Not a long time lol! But I still get excited when I work with wood like rosewood, you know the smell, the touch of it color. Pine is also a favorite of mine. This video helped me a lot because my workshop is small and I mostly work outside. Haul out my machines and so on. I am currently redoing office furniture for a client and the contrast in colour of the frame and the seat and back splat is awesome. I really enjoy your videos and yes there is a lot of want to involved.
    Comparison with my self and other woodworkers is real. They have better tools and so on. But is what you do with those tools that defines your character . I need to think more to do more with what I have. That is the challenge.
    But yes I thank God for everything that I have.
    Good video. Cheers.

    Words of wisdom. I wanted to buy a wooden American flag earlier this yearv in July. I started pricing them and decided I could make one myself. I started with a cheap miter saw, Skillsaw, a square, and hand tools. The first 2 I made were not very good compared to what I am making now, but I started selling them like crazy. Now we have a Face Book store and I am making concealed flag cases and have $2,000 worth of orders stacked up right now for Christmas. I just bought a table saw and it has revolutionized my processes and upgraded my miter saw. I am trying all kinds of different techniques and am looking to move up to furniture with the confidence learned from this channel. You can do it!

    I cannot say enough about how I appreciate your down to earth honesty and sharing about your days of being broke. I have stood in the cheese line waiting for a handout and have told myself if I work hard and give it my best effort that I could have a better life so I can truly relate to living paycheck to paycheck. I had a cabinet maker build cabinets for my kitchen remodel and during the process he asked my wife for the balance of the money before finishing the cabinets and skipped out on the job so I told my wife well it looks like I need to get the bits and do the rest myself and I'm proud of the finished product

    I do like your "realness" in the videos. Its true, I do get a pit in my stomach when starting a project. And im not new at it either. Cars is a different thing. I know cars inside and out, havent used a repair manual in years, and I can just dive into any repair and it aint nothin' but a thing. Same with home wiring/plumbing/etc. But wood is different. You have an idea in your head, and hope it transfers to the wood the way you intended.
    I am going to give you a tip... You made a video with a dog kennel/TV stand. But you forgot about us cat people. My next project is a cat tree. Ive made them before, but always copied something from Amazon. This time im going to make one thats actually furniture quality, sturdy, and made with all non-toxic stains and materials. I'll post when finished. I have cats and a dog, but the ownership is pretty split 50/50, so I think there is a market for it. I havent seen a good high quality cat tree available for sale yet, but I'm going to make one. Cats are inherintly destructive, but still. I think a nice, high quality/furniture quality cat tree has a market and would look a whole lot better than the cheap cardboard crap you get on Amazon for $100.
    I'll let you know how it progresses. As soon as I get this pit out of my stomach that is preventing me from starting.
    Wood is one of those mediums that is extremely rewarding when finished. I was a Deputy Sheriff (retired) and did not get any feeling of success or accomplishment from it. I got that from doing wood work, and body work/paint on cars. Those are the 2 things that give me that feeling of satisfaction. But both are hard to initiate. Doing repairs on cars is easy. Making them look good is another thing.

You have a good attitude man and you come out as a down to earth genuine guy. I appreciate this man, I’m 32 and will be having my first child in a few months and I’ve been contemplating on taking wood working for years but fears and doubt have been my crutch since. The soon arrival of my baby daughter has me thinking different and given me that hunger for improvement once again.

      We had TV stamps . . .Top Value stamps were yellow. Dad at the kitchen table patting stamps on a damp dishtowel on a dinner plate and pressing the stamps in the book. Dad's unspoken goal was to fill a page without having to break-up a strip of stamps. I remember kind of celebrating when he filled a page like that. Mom and dad and TV stamps taught us how to "save-up". Also taught us if we didn't aggravate dad while he worked his strategy to not separate a chain of stamps, sooner or later he'd let us mash a stamp or two in the book - but he liked his pages to look nice, no crooked rows or loose corners. Pretty easy to figure out "the girls" did the wonky singles. Fun times - TV stamps and scratching out the cork in pop bottle caps to see if there was a prize. Can't remember if the pop was RC Cola or Double-Cola. I'm almost 60 so everything I remember from my childhood in a small town is old-old-fashion now. (Southwest Indiana).

    Love love love this video! I enjoy all of your videos but man thank you for this one!!! Thank you for being real and transparent with your viewers! This video has truly inspired and uplifted my spirit! This year has been so rough and yet so rewarding. I have found my gifts, talents and purpose for my life during one of the hardest seasons of my life! Both myself and my husband lost our jobs early on in the pandemic due to my oldest son contracting Covid. Like a lot of families who contracted the virus and made it through, We were so thankful to get through the covid virus thankful for life yet we were completely overwhelmed and concerned about our financial situation and how we would make it month to month going forward! God is so good he is faithful and he has protected an provided every step of the way! As a family we are closer we have more time together and my marriage is better than it’s ever been! We have been in our shed daily for months creating projects together. I have so much inventory between the handcrafted home decor products the handmade signs I’ve made to the big PCs my husband and I have created together. I have shared this because your video has truly helped me given me courage to take a leap of faith. I’ve been stuck the past month with trying to figure out how to create a business from what we have created. I’m a creative person the business/ selling side of it terrifies me. This week I was struggling so badly that I felt like giving up I haven’t even wanted to do anything creative, the spark was gone! I’ve been praying on it and then I came across this video and it spoke directly to me and gave me hope! I usually don’t comment on videos to often but I felt the need to share my story with you and let you know how you have inspired me! Thank you and God bless you 😊

    This has truely been an inspirational video. I am probably different from most of the viewers here. I have most of the equipment needed to start wood working. The confidence that something would sell and be able to turn a profit is a big obstacle to over come. The way you have just said to do it and if it does turn out burn it put a big smile on my face. I just build a 24 ft. X 36 ft. X 10 ft metal building on my property. I have been mauling over which direction to take. I have been a fabricator in some form or fashion most of my life . i would like to take a hobbie and make some side money. Thanks again for the inspiration.

    Just wanted to thank you for all the positives you give out man. I've been woodworking since 7th grade and I am 53 now. But get discouraged when I can't get my dad's and grandpa's tools don't cut square or true. But man you give me inspiration to keep going. Thank you bro.

    Thank you so much from a fellow Arkansan. Watch your channel often. Wife and I dabble here and there in wood working projects, usually making things for free for family members or friends. I really want to get started in doing some things for money, but always doubt myself, so this video you were speaking right at me brother.

    My biggest challenge so far has been figuring out how to make cuts and fasten things without some of the tools that others demonstrate on. I just keep thinking that there are talented artisans out there who build furniture without any electric tools ( of course, some of those hand tools are more expensive than the electric ones) and that keeps me trying to figure out another alternative to making the cut I need. There is rarely one way to do anything. Finding the way that I can do it is the hard part. But it's the part that keeps me going, too. Knowing that if I just keep trying eventually I'll get it is the challenge that pushes me. That and the advice and success of guys like you. God bless, my friend. Thank you, again!

    I’m so happy I found your channel this year! Appreciate all the content and advice you share with us. 30 years old I purchased a house for my family to move out of NYC. First 2 lessons I learned is, contractors aren’t cheap and the end product isn’t any better if you would’ve did it yourself. After the contractors did what they had to do to comply with the contract I started doing everything on my own. I have a construction background for a lot of rough builds. Carpentry is a whole different ball game. But your 100% right on YOU HAVE TO START! I got tired of being scared to start. First wood working project I did was the outdoor storage chest!
