    Keith has shop cats. That makes him 90% cooler than every other woodworker on YT!

    You got me with the cats. I own three - one outside and two inside. At 72, I am getting close to having two way conversations with them. I tell them all the time, that the one that learns how to sand I will keep around.

    Keith is one of my favorites. His humor is well placed and what he can do in that small shop is so inspirational. And of course the cats play a role in his success as I'm sure they would tell you.

    So you never became art vandelay the architect. But you turned out to be one hell of a woodworker. I actually teared up at the end of this video, amazing job keep on building!

  • @5280Woodworking
    @5280Woodworking 10 месяцев назад

    IMHO Kieth is one of the most skilled woodworkers on RUclips. He is first and foremost a skilled craftsman and content creator second. Plenty of posers out there pushing product, but with Keith’s vids you laugh, you learn and sometimes you even cry when he uses up all the 8/4 walnut in America.

  • @anthonyspicer1328

    I used to create content on YT before I had to close my shop. The amount of time and energy that is required to film all of the project build is enormous! It takes soooo much time to not only film the content as well as the hours to edit the content into a "satisfying user experience". Props to you, seems like you have found the recipe that works for you and your audience.

    After nearly 60 years of working my wife and I decided to retire and get into woodworking to stay busy. Thanks to you I've gotten not only a better understanding of the craft but also the confidence to try new projects. At 1st I had somewhat of an idea of the cost of the hobby, some wears north of $20,000 in my case. We, mostly me, get a since of gravitation of finishing a project. I've mostly built patio furnishing (chairs, tables, etc.) I'm now taking on some indoor projects. I'd like to thank you for your low keyed instruction with a small amount of humor thrown in. I watch a dozen or so different "tubers" but I always look forward to your videos. This one was an excellent idea on your part. I enjoyed it and walked away with the feeling of "time well spent".

    If I’ve said it once I’ll said it a hundred more time… Keith is a true craftsman… he’s amazing at what he does, he’s got a great sense of humor he’s not out here shilling tools and affiliates like most of these so called “ woodworkers” on RUclips ( one guy in particular who’s basically a constant infomercial with no actual skill who’s got some weird cult following but I digress lol sorry about that!) all kidding aside though Keith deserves everything he’s worked for, views, subscribers, sponsors, tools, you name it. Keep up the great work Keith from your neighbor across the bridge… the TZ not the Mario Cuomo lol! And another amazing documentary love your work as well! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

      That’s so wild! It’s funny when people say something like that, a lot of well known content creators have extremely popular podcasts but never really mention them. I don’t know how many times I’ve heard someone say they’ve never heard of Making It or Wood Talk!

    I love Keith, he loves cats and Seinfeld and he seems to be one of the most honest, real person, not putting on a persona for the camera, makers. He has such a great eye for design and a relentless pursuit for perfection. You did a great job of capturing him, Justin❤

    I don't know KJ personally only through social platforms. He seems so cool and down to earth. I love his aesthetic and eye for design. A lot of walnut and white oak with clean lines with an array of different joinery. From biscuits and dominoes to traditional M&T and dovetails.

    Great video Keith. You successful content creators work your butts off. So true that you have to have several revenue streams. Free tools are not free. Thank you for this. The reality is that it takes a lot of work and if you are not passionate about it then it would be short lived and not fun.

    Great video! This video was so humbling. You said so many things that are so relatable. If I’m not in my shop, I’m on RUclips watching videos figuring how I can do it better. My goal is to start making videos. Not to make money but to pass some pearls along and share my art. I’m too stinking camera shy! Anyway, I need to get over it
