Great advice - from the heart. Don’t worry about the internet connection. Folks can always watch it once it’s done - like I just did. 100% agree that 99% of your customers won’t notice small mistakes. As long as it does what it’s supposed to, they’ll be glad to have it. Point mistakes out to yourself (only), and commit to doing it better next time, but remember that only our Creator is the perfect maker.
Technically, my woodworking journey started at 13. I was exposed to it in my 8th grade shop class. We learned drafting, welding and woodworking (all from a guy who looked like Bob Vila--no kidding. LOL). That was 1984-85. Fast forward to 1992 I dabbled in woodworking again in college when I borrowed a church friend's little 8" Black & Decker table saw and set up a "shop" in my parents basement. I made a few crafty things and one of them, a jewelry box, I still have to this day. Fast forward again to 2006 and my wife (of only 1 year at that time) says she wants a log framed bed. Fast forward to 2024 and there's still no log framed bed. But man, do I have a lot of nice tools now in my shop! LOL
When I was in high school me and a friend made little santa stop here signs that were painted to look like candy canes and man we would instantly sell out as soon as we finished a batch.
I live in socal where it is very crowded and heavy traffic. To save time I've thought about ordering wood from rockler's website and allow it to aclimat until the weekend. Do you recommend ordering lumber?
Personally, I much prefer to buy wood in person, so I can get stock that is straight and level with a grain pattern I like and knots in places that I can work around.
I’ve purchased the majority of my hardwoods online. I order from wtghardwoods.com And the quality is always top notch. Just use the contact form on his website to inquire about current prices. Shipping charges can be high though. That’s the drawback to not having any locally for me.
Stove covers. Isn't that interesting. That people don't cook and want that sort of product. We cook all the time at our house so I never would have imagined a product like that. I think that's a good point. What products are out there yet to be imagined? 🤔
He hasn't left people behind. He often shows and talks about projects with smaller or affordable tools.

Look at East Tennessee. (Crossville is beautiful)

Remember, the tiny imperfections in an item we make are proof it was hand-made and not built in some factory and can make an item worth more.
I like that!
You coming to NW Arkansas
Grizzly has a plant in Springfield Missouri
Q. Hey Matt, do you know if Rockler or Woodcraft offer military discounts like the Depot and lowes does?
I received military discount at the Rockler store that I went to.
Rockler gives you a 10% discount whether you're active or a veteran. You will need to produce your military ID or a Veteran sticker on your DL.

Guys. Love the content but the “he” and “she” is horrible. She’s your wife. Use each other’s names or husband and wife. I cringe each time I hear it!
