    24:06 "I will work with my hands until they break" is such a perfect way to express how so many of us are feeling about making stuff. There definitely is poetry in fine craftsmanship and Michel is for sure one of these "hand poets"
    I'd love to see Chris Salamone and Paks Makes next!

    Justin… your videos MUST be somewhere else in addition to here, Netflix, maybe Hulu, or HBO. I watch and rewatch your content and it is magical how and what you are capturing.

    I really enjoy watching Michael's work. He's one of my biggest inspirations for trying new things and chasing those niche pieces for my house. Watching him make a sewing desk, that light figure with all the brass, all his patterned plywood bowls now, and even that custom step stool drawer... His work reminds me that when I find a problem, I can develop a great solution that fits me.

You did another great job Justin! Where does it end with you, you keep pounding out such great work, don’t stop we all love your work!
