I asked if y’all would like a video making a hat, and the answer was yes! Got this hat for Adam blocked today and started filming. Hoping to have the video out later in the week 🤙

Some of you expressed interest in seeing some leather work on the channel, but I’ve also been indulging some other kind of making such as this hat. I’ve got another hat body blank on the way and if the interest is there then I’ll make a video of that process.

Hello friends! Here’s sort of a sneak peek of the soprano ukulele. It’s been quite a long time since the last upload, so by the off chance that someone was wondering, I figured I’d let y’all know what’s been going on. The uke build is done, and all the footage is filmed for it, I just haven’t gotten around to editing it, and I’m not sure that I will any time soon. With the pandemic, new baby, toddler and new job all in the span of a few months I decided I really needed to take a break. During that time I’ve done a lot of reflecting on woodworking and this channel. I’ve put four years into this channel. Four years of learning, time, money and effort. The channel got monetized, which is awesome! The subscriber count continues to climb, which is awesome! But the channel had pretty much plateaued in all other respects long before it was monetized. I’m not trying to complain, or garner sympathy, or sound like I’m chastising those who watch my channel, but I’m just saying after those four years that does make it a bit discouraging from wanting to press on with it. Because content is shared for others, and the woodworking niche is so overly saturated with a high concentration of creators that it feels almost impossible to gain any ground. I’m sharing these thoughts only to let my viewers who always show up know what’s going on. I don’t plan on quitting, but videos at least for now will probably be coming out pretty scarcely. In the meantime I’ve been very active on Instagram doing Star Wars toy photography and it’s been very refreshing and the following has been growing pretty good in a relatively short amount of time, which is giving me thought of making a separate channel dedicated to that. We’ll see. But that’s about where it all is. I’m so appreciative of y’all that were here from the get go and have been very supportive of the channel. Maybe when the weather gets nice again I’ll have more of a drive to get back at it again.

Here’s my most recent work in progress. There will be a video for it and it’s going to be ridiculously fancy. That ugly pencil mark is just where I’m going to route a groove for a rosette around the sound hole. This is why videos have been lacking. Trying to work on some more in-depth complicated projects.

Hey everyone, going to try the livestream again at 4:30pm! A little better planned this time, thanking everyone for the 2k subs and looking at some previous projects that folks enjoyed.

Wow! 2K subs! That is amazing, y’all! Thank you so much to everyone who has subscribed to the channel! I’ll probably get Adam sometime to an official thank you video, or maybe experiment with a livestream

Hey, everyone! I just wanted to let y’all know I’ve been having a few issues with comment notifications, more so a lack of notifications. So I wanted to let y’all know that if it takes me a minute to respond it’s probably because I didn’t get the notification.

A while back I ordered some thin cherry boards for a project, and the package also contained these two chunky boards marked as “packing”. It’s nice cherry and walnut, but just the two. So I have no clue what to do with them. Any ideas?

Seems like a lot more f youtubers are doing what they can to provide some relief during these wild times, either by doing multiple uploads or releasing videos early. Would it help break up anyone’s quarantine monotony if I released any videos early?
