- This installment of the Call Me Mabie maker documentary series features Sam Raimondi of DIY Huntress.
Sam Raimondi is a full time psychologist with a passion for making and building things in her spare time. As a full blown weekend warrior, Sam's goal is to share fun and attainable woodworking, DIY, how to, and home improvement projects that can be completed with a busy work schedule and on a budget!
"Hi! I’m Sam - full time psychologist and side hustling do it yourselfer from Long Island, NY. I specialize in sharing woodworking projects and home improvement ideas on a strict budget. Did I also mention I have a full time job? Being creative doesn’t have to break the bank or require a lot of time. Trust me, if it did, I wouldn’t be here!
When I was 15, my dad handed me a hammer and told me to help him rebuild a house. Ever since then, I’ve been hooked on making, doing, and creating. As a college student on a strict budget, my goal was to inspire the everyday self to go out and create something out of the box! Each week I continue to update my blog with new and affordable project tutorials, home improvement tips, and business strategies that beginners and experts alike can create and enjoy!
I enjoy sharing free step-by-step ideas with all who are interested in finding new ways to add creative projects to their personal resume! I welcome all and any ideas and suggestions; my aim is to creating, building, and home improvement fun, easy, and affordable for all who wish to participate!
Hey, if I can do it. You most certainly can!" (excerpts from diyhuntress.com)

Much like Sam, do you feel your passions and projects can be therapeutic?
Absolutely yes!
Agree, projects are good for mental health and repairs are not; at least to me.
Lolz.
The process of making, building, creating - once you start to give it your attention, you can let the world melt away for a brief amount of time, being proactive about creating a little win for yourself, a rewarding sense of accomplishment. Sam is definitely onto something!
Without a doubt, 100%
Justin… I don’t even know if I have the right words to express my gratitude for you and for this video. I don’t think anyone could have done a better job telling my story. I am so honored that you put aside time to come visit me, hang with for a weekend, and share my journey. You’re the best… and I’m so honored to call you my friend. 💓
Emphasis on the friend part. It was great getting to know you and your family beyond a surface level and having the honor of telling your story to the best of my abilities. Thanks again for everything.
@@CallMeMabie yes, thank you
Very cool friend! The epic slow Mo pony tail at the beginning 😂👌👌👌👌
Also...I loved this. AND YOU ♥️
@@DIYDanie I LOVE YOU.
Sam is my spirit animal. Also the hair doll I made of her is epic.
Oddly enough, her next video is diy hair dolls
@@CallMeMabie pro tip: when you meet your maker friends for the first time always make sure to greet them with, “you look a lot different right now than when you’re sleeping.”
Can’t wait to contribute to it some more when I see you!
I'm really digging the idea of the psychology practice in the front with the workshop in the back. I'm willing to bet a lot of people could really benefit from doing some kind of craftwork, not just woodworking specifically.
I love your story. I also find woodworking to be therapeutic. The zone I go into doesn't have time, time doesn't exist there. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one. Yes, I need a psychologist!!! Help me!!! Haha
Thanks for the video. I have watched all of Sam's RUclips videos (many of them more than once), but today I got a much more intimate glimpse into her personality and I loved it!
Sam is a unique and charming young lady. Her RUclips channel and her projects are a real pleasure to share.
That was absolutely my goal and I really appreciate you stopping by to hear more of her story. Cheers!
@Call Me Mabie: Thank you for this video. I appreciate the work you do behind the camera, the concept, the editing, the outcome!
Thank you so much, Eleanorah! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and your compliment here means a lot
Well done Justin, you tell a story beautifully. Sam, you made his job easy! 😉✌🏼
Thanks Stu! You're the man!
Love the woodworking therapy idea!
Sam is an awesome human and an awesome maker who inspires so many of us who are just starting out. This small glimpse into her life,family and pups was so cool to see. Justin you killed it again. 👏
Thank you very much for watching it!! And I appreciate the compliments both here and on IG!
Sam is a great maker! She does amazing builds. I first started following Sam when she was a co host of the Wood Shop 101 Podcast a few years ago. I'm so happy to see Sam being very successful!!! Great Video Justin! You nailed it again buddy!
As always, thank you for supporting my work. I completely agree with you regarding Sam!
You rock. Thanks for the love. Justin crushed it! 🙌🏼
Watching this brings out so many emotions. Not only am I a dedicated DIY Huntress fan, but maker and RUclipsr as well. I can see her passion and the love and support she gets from her family. She is a true inspiration and I hope I can be just like her when I grow up. Thanks Justin for giving us your art.
This is a terrific comment and I’m thankful you took the time to check out this video. Thank you!
Justin, you have a great gift for storytelling, videography and creating the right musical background to highlight the essence of the maker you make the video for. The portraits you create always bring us more personal subtleties than what we can gather by watching their videos. Thanks for this insight into Sam’s life.
This is sincerely an incredible compliment to receive. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch.
This glimpse of your life gives us a view we don't normally see. At 70 I take inspiration wherever I see it and people who can manage two jobs and do one of them well enough for a fellow woodworker to take note of their work and sometimes gain an idea from them my hat is off to.
Fantastic documentary. I've only been subscribed to DIY Huntress for a little while, so I knew this wasn't her full time gig, but my jaw dropped when she said she was a psychologist! What an amazing woman. Looking forward to more content from both of you. And kudos to Mom and Dad!
Yes, it’s crazy how hard she works. Thanks for checking out the video, Mike!
Sam, you're such an inspiration to all your viewers!
Another great video, I really enjoyed it Justin. Sam is such an amazing person, I became an instant fan. Follow your passion and dont be just one thing, I love those quotes. 😃👏❤
Thanks for always coming through, Johan! I'm glad you liked this one and could relate to her.
Justin, this was such beautiful video. Your skills are capturing and you show Sam's story perfectly
Thanks so much for watching my videos :)
Beautifully done, Justin! Love Sam's passion and the love and support from her family.
Yes!!!! Sam's a talented delightful lady!
Nice work on the video, very nicely done, enjoyed the documentary.
Thanks for giving it a watch, Roberto! I appreciate the compliment!
Wonderful.
This is awesome!
Woodworking is my therapy too. My doctor recommended I take up a hobby to help with my high blood pressure and stress.
Just fabulous thanks for sharing
Thank you for taking the time to stop and watch!
What a wonderful story, bought tears to my eyes. What a wonderful therapy for so many people who are interested. Had no idea you lived on long Island, thank you for sharing ......When I was 14 I wanted to study wood working at school, but I was told only boys study wood working😪
Awesome video ❤️
Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to check it out!
@@CallMeMabie 🍻. Have a great weekend
Sam is one of my favorite humans!
She is indeed a gem of the maker community!
I’m one of your favorite humans.
@@CowDogCraftWorks Yes you are! Nobody Rocks the crocks like you do buddy!
You’re the besttt. 💓
@@diyhuntress Don't you hate it when your t button gets stuck! Lol. Thanks Sam! 🤜🏼 🤛🏼
A beautiful video, you’re absolutely amazing and I love your parents. They’re awesome.
Great work on the doc of Sam, I love the rawness in learning about her life away from her Channel. I've never seen a documentary done of any other diyer, so loved this idea.
Thanks to Sam and the great work you did on her doc, I've discovered you and your channel. I will subscribe and view at all your other work! Thank you for sharing your talent with us👌
Good!
Thank you for sharing this with us.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch!
I totally get the therapeutic aspect of woodworking she goes into toward the end. After the hectic pace of a stressful day or week, packed with all the nuance of interactions, give and take, negotiation, and compromise, it's restful to go into the shop and do something _unequivocal._ And that may sound like a strange word to use for a process that usually has many ways to achieve the same desired effect. But there are aspects of it that are unchanging, and uncompromising in a good way.
Like, whatever you may _want_ to do with a joint or a structure, there are certain forces that must be accounted for (expansion of wood grain, the weakness of butt-joining end grain, etc.), or else your joint will fail. Unequivocal.
Or, the fact that a project is just going to take as long as it takes. Your timetable may be on a faster track, and you might even incorporate all kinds of jigs, time-saving methods, or even the speed of energy, familiarity and experience. But in the end, there's a point beyond which the time to completion is irreducible -- no matter what your thoughts are on the matter. Unequivocal.
Or, the fact that the unforeseen is a constant partner in each project. All your experience, planning or desire aside, there are still always going to be those little gremlins, pointing out how this procedure you thought you had down cold, still has this little element of randomness, often with devastating consequences. And it's not a matter of how hard you may try to eliminate this potential chaos, but rather how you roll with it, how skilled you are at adjusting your own actions to it on the fly. Because those gremlins will always be there. Unequivocal.
Dealing with those certainties brings a kind of peace. You are a being in a universe that extends beyond the boundaries of your own 'druthers'. You can argue, wheedle, cajole or bargain all you want, and you can try bringing that struggle into the shop with you from your outside existence. But you soon discover it's all for naught.
The certainty of the wood instructs you otherwise.
Mam you have lots of insturment good and wounderful
❤️
Nice work 👍 who is next on the list 3x3 custom tamar ?
God bless the bacon egg and cheese
My favorite part of this video is that there’s not a chainsaw in the background the entire time you’re interviewing her… and the wheel bearings in her truck are in good shape so we don’t have to hear that either 😂
Hahaha I thought the chainsaw constantly running in the background of your video adds character
@@CallMeMabie it’s funny because that buzzing sound when we’re in my truck… I had no idea what it was. My neighbor and I fixed it like six months later and now my truck is super quiet. I think about that like once a week now. Lolz.
@@CallMeMabie chaensaw mek video
👍
Would like to hear your suggestions for our space.
❤️❤️❤️
I love when you show up in my comments
U hit on something when u want a workshop in ur real job, people need an outlet for they’re problems and that should help some
First Comment ... lol
How'd you get here so fast? Haha!
@@CallMeMabie Just Lucky I Guess ... lol
