    Will always be one of the best channels. He is a veteran of RUclips but has kept his roots. Builds things for his shop so he can build things he uses daily. I still rewatch so many of the older videos. Never disappointed in the new videos no matter what the topic.

    In my opinion, this world is a better place because of you. With your inspirational, applied realism, practicality and abundant unintended humor, everything you produce ends up exceptional. There are few RUclips channels that can even come close to what you have done. It feels like I'm watching Russell Crowe in the movie "A Brilliant Mind" because your thought process is absolutely fascinating.
    Thank you for just being you and sharing with us.

    I laughed and cried when one project leads to the next to one which leads to one that should have been done before, which leads to one of those "while I'm at it". I can relate far too much. Thanks for the laughs, and hats off to you for organizing it all.

      His story just sounded like me constructing my 3D printer XD
      It was a kinda not-really-optimally-designed DIY from the first place when I bought, and I have worked a ton of time on it. I feel like it's much closer to what I have envisioned, but I always see more improvements that could be done. However, when I decide to actually work on major improvements, I see many tiny things that might as well be done in advance.
      However, while he could film all the process to monetize, I get to procrastinate other important things, going like, "ah well, let me just work on this first. it could be done real quick anyways", even though I know it's never true :P

    Just the man i was looking for! You have done some great tests in the past showing strengths of joints. It would be very interesting if you could do a test of the strength of MDF, standard ply, birch ply, particle board etc. Im building a miter station and im considering materials for the sides. At what weight is the structural integrity impaired and at what weight does it all collapse? Does mixing materials help? If you're hungry for a test, i'd love for this to be the one. I was thinking of this last night and was hoping you'd upload so i could ask on a fresh video ^_^

    I want 1000 SF for a shop! I get about half of a 2-car garage for less than 250SF.
    I suspect you could get ruthless and eliminate a lot of the stuff that fills your drawers and shelves, but I also understand keeping things because someday you will need them.
    I like having plenty of horizontal surfaces, but I think the answer is to use big shelves for that instead of workbenches.
    Stuff that you really want to keep but may not use for a long time I would pack in boxes and put on shelves. I learned to make a list of the contents of a box on a piece of paper and tape to the end of the box so I don't have to open a lot of boxes to find something. This packs more stuff in less space then I can use the convenient shelves for the things I will use more often.
