96 Years Old and Still Woodworking. Meet my Grandpa! | Shop Tour

- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- Meet my 96-year-old grandfather! Every day he heads out into his small garage shop and makes crosses, birdhouses, wood toys, foot stools and whatever else inspires him in the moment. To date he's made over 11,000 pocket crosses that have been distributed all over the world by his church, friends and family. He is my single greatest source of inspiration and is the kindest, warmest person you’ll ever meet. He has helped me appreciate life and is living proof that as long as you have a purpose and surrounded by loved ones you will find happiness.
One of the many things I love about Grandpa Picciuto is there’s an open invitation every Sunday morning in his tiny kitchen where friends and family gather to drink “Coffee Royals” which is a tasty blend of black coffee and whiskey!
I hope everyone who watches my videos finds their source of inspiration and finds their purpose. My goal here on this channel is to inspire others to be creative. Even if you don’t have the same tools or the same hobbies as me, I hope my videos spark that idea you’ve been looking for.
Thank you for watching and thank you for helping me live my dream. No matter what country you live in, race, gender, sexual orientation, class, we are all MAKERS and all in this together. Love and respect!
To those who have asked... my grandpa never takes money for the things he makes. He gives everything away for the love of the craft. I truly appreciate you watching. ❤️
so inspiring.
Not many left like HIM! All his tools need to be in the best of hands and care!
Man, so inspiring - love that he's still going strong. My Dad would have been 93 this year and he was my inspiration to get started in Wood Working. Looks like your Grandpa was also a WWII veteran same as my Dad - truly the greatest generation of Americans. Great video - keep making sawdust, Tony!
That is truly an inspiring man. Awesome video
My only complaint about this video is that it isn’t 100 times longer!
I’m sure I’m not the only person that would love to watch and listen to him talk about stuff for hours! ❤️
Keep movin'!
:)
Nice one, David.
Kudos, to your grandfather!! I am 72 and retired in 2002, before i retired i built my own shop and made sure i had all the tools i needed. Now i am out in my shop everyday and loving it. My wish is that i can be your Grandpa's age and still in my shop!! I couldn't agree more with his philosophy, A reason to get up every morning and i believe i have it. One of my joys is my 9 year old Grandson who loves working in the shop his his grandpa!!
David - Pls thank your grandfather for allowing us into his home. What an inspiration he is!
Love the video David! You're very lucky to still have Grandpa in your life.
That is so special! Good for You, keep moving and doing the things You love to do to bring happiness not troubles!
Dude, that might have been one of my favorite videos you have made...Hope I'm half as active as your Grandpa IF I make it to his age.
I absolutely love your Grandfather. He just justified my shop cleaning theory. "when I put stuff away, I can't find it - so I don't put stuff away" ....
New bumper sticker: 'Be more like Tony Picciuto'.
Hahaha! Yes!!!

I'll buy it! :-)
I'll buy it too!
Fire up the Diresta printers!!!
This is really sweet David. He seems like a great guy! My grandfather passed when I was 10, and I would love to know him at my age now. He owned a hardware store, and was a total tinkerer. I'm told I'm a lot like him. I'm glad you've had a chance to grow up with Tony. Hopefully we're all making stuff at his age!
Next time you think "I'm tired today" just think of Mr. Picciuto and get your ass out of bed.
This was amazing, David!
Another great video. Thx for sharing. Maybe you guys making a project together ?
I am 70 year's Old and you made an Old Man tear up This video is truly a gift thank you for sharing he is a remarkable person and God Bless Him
Not many like him! The world is a big place and has so many very special people, he is only ONE but than he does show the way!
He's rad! Thanks for sharing man :)
Thanks Bob!!
I could watch these type of maker stories all day long! The old timers have so much to teach us!
Hey David, nice job with this video! What an awesome tribute. I really appreciate how he does it out of passion and doesn’t take a dime for any of it, and I can relate a bit because I made a decision a few years back to never again try to sell any of my woodworking but to only give away my projects as gifts to friends and family. It’s much more rewarding that way and I know I’m doing it for the right reasons.
David, thanks for sharing! I've heard you talk about your grandfather on making it several times and he sounds like a very special person. I think that you've allowed him to inspire many more people by sharing his beautiful story. Thanks for making this video!
Love his tools! Look after them as You will have learned so much. Treasure it and make the most.
Leave it to the two people in the world to give an uplifting video a thumbs down. Sheesh. Thank you for the glimpse into your family. Not all of us are fortunate enough to be so lucky. I have both of your books and at 62 I’m trying to setup a shop to start woodworking again. It’s been so long and has always been a passion for me. Right across from my shop I’m also getting some bees this coming spring. What a wonderful place to be in life. Thank you For the inspiration.
Here You go! You never too old, if woodworking gives pleasures than there is more to do and give!
It is men like this that made America Great. Thank you
America and Canada, where i'm from.
David, you definitely have to borrow his patterns and make some of those houses! What an inspirational man - deserves to be homaged in walnut!
Keep Moving, Family First, and Find Your Purpose......Great advice for the Thanksgiving season.
Thanks for sharing this video. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
I can say i have one of ur granddads cross thank you
Awesome! Very “moving”. . . 😊
“Keep moving” with a purpose! 👍
Oh man, this made me cry. What a lovely man! Makes me miss my Grandfather, who was also a woodworker and inventor and ran a saw sharpening business out of his shop . I can still remember what his shop smelled like. I lost him the same year I graduated high school (‘94), so, he never knew that his granddaughter became a “craftsman” as well, but my aunts tell me that he would have been proud. Thank you for sharing him with us! And he looks absolutely fantastic!
His granddaughter is here and told the world to Australia and further on and back and that is the best! I wish You well, memories are only for You alone, sometimes!
96 years young!!!!!! Heck I'm 40 and sometimes I don't have the energy and drive as your Grand father. God bless that man.
Love this. I bet he laughs at your carpet.
What an amazing man. Thanks for sharing this, Dave.
David, please thank your Grandfather, for his service, and you are very fortunate to still have him around. I see where you get your kindness from. Take care.
Your Grandpa is the Stan Lee of woodworking! Always there to steal the show!
Who was Stan Lee? Not Bruce Lee related I take.
@@1habicher Creator of marvel and a lot of those superheroes
Keep Moving- Even you grand father has a catch phrase!
Hi David, after hearing the podcast the way you describe your grandfather it is so nice and heartwarming to see him still working. Hope we all have the drive to do so. Ofer Nahari, Israel.
Why the #$%*!! would someone give this video a "thumbs down"?!? Unfathomable! Thank you David, and thank you Mr. Picciuto for sharing your story and your love of woodworking! Truly inspirational! I would so love to share a Coffee Royal in Grandpa Picciuto's kitchen!
Excellent !! great motivation for us makers. Happy Thanksgiving from ireland.
I've been hoping for something like this since you've talked about him on the podcast, what an amazing man, thanks for sharing!
Your grandfather seems like a very special fellow indeed. Awesome video, one of your best, David. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for capturing this and sharing it.
That one made me feel really good :) What a great video. Thanks for sharing your Grandpa with us! So inspiring.
Awesome 😎 thanks for sharing, I’ve been waiting for this video for ages . 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I was thinking the same thing but also this seems like good timing 😊
Great video David! I really enjoyed meeting your grandpa and seeing his shop.... good stuff!
I get tears in my eyes from this video.
Enjoy the moments with your grandfather and cherish those moments.
My own grandfathers who also had this age have unfortunately passed away. I learned a lot from them. My respect for them is huge.
I really miss my grandfathers and hope they watch over me from heaven and can be proud of what I do. I get my inspiration every day from what they have learned me!
So did I.
@@Aardrijk1 we still have those beautiful memories!
You shared a very good video, you have a great grandfather man, god bless you.
That was very nice..
WTF bro!!!! Why are trying to get me to cry?
96 and still building, what a man! My father and grandfather are who got me into working with my hands weather it be out in the garden, fixing things around the house or in the wood shop! We're all lucky to have people like your grandfather who teach and inspire us! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome to finally see your grandpa after hearing about him on the podcast. He is inspiring.
I've looked forward to this video since you spoke about it on the podcast. Bless your Grandpa.
Amazing human being ❤️ sending all the love and good vibes always ✨
Don't take this the wrong way, but this is the BEST VIDEO I've seen on your channel. Thank you for sharing.
Totally taking it the right way! I'm very proud of this video so hearing this makes me happy!
Good philosophy ! That’s so cool that you still can share this with him ! 👍
Wonderful video David! Your grandpa is a total boss. =D
God bless him and God bless you family and friends I always ask God the same thing I want to keep working in my little workshop. helping people it's so nice that's my enjoyment helping people God bless everyone..
God Bless him. Respect.
Such a lovely video
David this is super cool! My grandfather was a carpenter and I always looked up to him and that’s why I got of the trade to begin with. Your grandpa looks like an amazing man and that’s super cool you guys have a relationship 👊🏽👏🏽...............To the 4 idots that gave this a thumbs down, I hope you get a flat tire on your way to work and when you get there you find out that you lost your job to someone that you trained, when you get home to break the news to your family you find out you wife left you for your best friend 🖕🏽.
Awesome video. Love that inspiration can be passed on to you.
Great video!! David, you are truly blessed to have your grandpa, savor every precious moment with him.
I couldn't love this more. Thanks for sharing!
Sweet video. Thanks for sharing your inspiration. Growing up in Nicaragua, my grandfather taught me how to build wooden toys.
Thanks David, he’s inspiration to us all.
That is really inspiring man, I hope at that age, my dad will still want to make woodworking videos with me too! Keep on, Keeping on!
Great video David! I love the collection of patterns your grandfather has.
What a cool grand pa. it's also very cool that you honour him him in this way. KEEP MOVING!
If I live to be 96, I hope I can remember this video and to "keep moving". Thanks so much for sharing this.
You are very fortunate to have your grandfather to talk with and learn from.
I wish I could give you more then one like! Your grandpa is adorable and so sweet not to mention talented and definitely does not look his age! You are very blessed to have him so thanks for sharing him with the rest of the world and maybe you could make another one with him? 🤔 And just wondering if he'd be willing to adopt me 😉 because I never got to hang out with my Opa( grandfather) since they lived in Germany. ♥️🙂
Thank you for sharing. He is a true inspiration.
This really was a great video, thanks for sharing.
Thanks Andrew!
Fantastic... lost for words...
Thanks for sharing that was an awesome video
So inspiring! A great reminder that age is nothing but a number. Thanks for sharing!
My wife tells me, "The only thing old about you is your age!" (I'm 11 years older than her!)
I hope to be half as spry and motivated when I"m 96.
Best video yet!
Excellent. Inspirational.
Seeing all the toys reminds me of all the one my grandpa made. I hope I will still be able to make stuff through life. Thanks David for this video I really needed it right now.
My great grandfather taught my dad how to build and my dad taught me. More of a family hobby than a business but I'm glad to be part of the tradition.
This is so awesome ! Thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you for sharing your Grandfather making these lovely crosses to give away! He would be an inspiration to all of us older people who need a reason to get up in the morning! He is a treasure to cherish!👍😍🙏
Okay, so my grandpa is the reason I love the smell of fresh cut pine. I was too young to learn sign making from him before he passed. This video reminds me of him and how I feel his presence whenever I'm working in my shop. You got me with this one brother. I don't care that its a short one, this one hit home. Your grandpa's the man. From one Vet to another, please thank him for his service for me.
Thanks David. That was a real blessing for all of your fans. I didn’t pick up woodworking until after my grandfather died but I love keeping the legacy going.
That's awesome! He's still going, god bless!
GREAT video!!! I remember you talking about your grandfather a couple times on the podcast....glad you did this
I hope your grandpa is still doing well :D
You're extremely lucky to have your grandpa still around.
I miss my grandparents deeply especially the older I get. I wish I could have had them around longer.
Awesome, great to always to talk with the older generations.
The first video I ever saw that has 0 dislikes!
He's older than me by 80 years and more motivated than me! How?! :)
His _non-existent_ urge for documenting EVERYTHING to put it on RUclips might be helping though... :)
Make only what is given every day, get up light up and be glad, that is my wish for You, I saw the OLD guy and it brought me hope and tears!
So cool David. I know he was apprehensive, but tell him that all of us youtube folk are thankful he shared his world with us. Truly inspirational. I hope to be that active at his age.
I can't put into words how much I like this video. Wonderful work Tony and David.
Thanks for sharing this, David! I enjoyed learning more about your grandpa.
David, this is great! Reminds me of my grandfather who built his own house in the 30’s and was always messing with something in his shop. I wish my son got to meet him.
Keep Moving!
OUTSTANDING !!👍🇺🇸
Very nice; you'll forever be glad of the fact that you did this, David. Much love, Brother.
I was so excited to watch this after hearing about him on the podcast over the years...Such an inspiration! I hope I have even the smallest bit of whatever he has that has kept him making all these years!
This was wonderful. Makes me miss my grandpa even more. I loved that man so much!
Great to see him still doing his thing. I miss my grandparents, worshiped the ground they walked on, they both taught me loads.
Very cool dude
Keep making sir 👍 happy thanks giving
Beautiful story. Thank you for sharing David!
Who the f$&@ dislikes this video? Wowza
Very cool video, what an inspiration! Keep movin - I love it!
Best video you’ve ever done! Love traditional values of honoring your elders.
