Sam I didn’t realize I was a “hardcore fan” until I recognized both slabs, looked back through your videos, and saw that I have watched everything you’ve put out.

Thanks again for letting the majority of us live vicariously through your work!

Also, got mine from a discount chop shot…they advertised half off.everyone can see past the original look of the wood that is purchased: however, your latest venture shows that you absolutely nailed it!

You can clearly visualise what the finished product will look like from the get go. I also love that you put so much energy and passion into the finish of the timber.

Sam your work inspired me to up my game through the years! However this year I had to sell almost all my tools to keep my house. So until I am able to get new tools and continue, I’m rewatching all your videos! They provide peace to me, and makes me feel like it’s a new beginning!Wonderful work, Sam!

I continue to admire your work ethic, attention to detail, and the care with which you handle your wood.Great to meet you Sam, I’m the daughter of a fine wood worker and this is my first time viewing your work. Thank you for bringing to life a magical and historical monument.

I have loved this channel from the very first video I watched. I love all the pieces you have ever done. So in this one, you asked for comments/opinions on the jig you designed.

Personally I think it’s great. I love the rounded design and I tell you why. When I first bought our house and started thinking about landscaping, I asked a few people about ideas, designs, etc.

There was one person that told me the best thing about nature or woodworking or anything in those categories. NEVER make anything straight. There’s not one thing in nature that is straight.

So to me the bow tie should NOT be a straight hardcore edge design of you are putting them on a natural, nature formed piece, of whatever you may be doing, making, etc.
