YOU SHOULD.... keep doing this channel the way you're doing it! Your work has a quality and creativity that I find inspiring, and I enjoy your on-camera personality immensely. As for the negative comments, there is no shortage of A-holes in this world. Treat the channel like you treat your woodworking; that is, make for you, make it to your standards and no one else's, and people will find and appreciate what you do. Those are your target consumers. Be well!
Watched this video and found myself hoping it will reach all the basement dwellers that haunt all of social media, Then I subscribed! I haven't watched other videos of yours yet, but I like what I see around you, I like what you have said and your voice is easy to listen to. Best of luck and in all those parts that require skill.
I discovered your videos earlier this week. This is the best channel I've stumbled upon in some time. I easpecially appreciate your furniture design videos, and furniture design reference materials you've recommended. This furniture design information has been difficult to find as a newer woodworker. Keep it up!
What your doing is not only informative and interesting but it’s also an Honest undertaking. Sadly, in my 71 years, I have observed that many if not most endeavors that yield very high profits or incomes involve verifiable and unrepentant dishonesty and greed. It’s a Fact Of Life. By the way, It does not seem that Paul Sellers, Chris Schwartz, the featured presenters of Fine woodworking Magazine or a great many other top shelf woodworkers are wealthy. Any athlete or celebrity of equal Renown would be filthy rich. Life is unfair to many with respect to monetary gain. You are no less valuable or worthy however my friend. Hang in there. Many wealthy people are miserable and lonely.
I watched a video recently that started with a quote from the book, Anna Karenina, "Happy families are all alike; all unhappy families are unhappy in their own way". In a way it explains our natural propensity to complain and object in unique ways. And anonymous TH-cam comments makes criticising easier (I know I'm guilty). Blocking unwanted negativity is a reasonable response, especially for an introvert putting yourself out there. Just know I've watched all of your videos and enjoyed them!
Well done. I appreciate all the work that goes into a video. I have picked up some tips and tricks from past videos. I truly hope your channel continues to grow.
I appreciate your channel more than any other at this point. 1) you’re up-front about why you’re doing it; 2) you’re relatable but aspirational (for me at least, but I imagine it’s so for many of us apprenticing via TH-cam); 3) your work speaks for itself, and you don’t oversell it. Lots of folks out there acting like their sharpening (etc) is profound and ground-breaking. Keep it up, and YOU SHOULD let us know how we can support you
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂You’re right! Some people just don’t know how to just be encouraging without being demeaning at the same time. Thank you for this channel. I appreciate the content. TH-cam will pay you back eventually. Keep it going. Definitely i am an introvert as well so I understand where you’re coming from. Your skills are where I’d like to be someday. You have awesome craftsmanship. Absolutely beautiful work sir.
5:56 I subscribe to your channel and out of everything available on the net I subscribe to only four other woodworking channels. You are top notch. Keep it up.
I appreciate that you make videos. I filmed one on iPhone. What a pain! Everything took 3 times as long to get done. Film angles became more important that if it made it harder for me to do. Then, I looked into video editing. Oh hell no! Way too much work. I will stick to Instagram and blogging. Minimal impact on the woodworking and not too much time. Because of this, I appreciate that you do it.
What most "you should" comments are really saying: "I watched your video and mostly liked it. I also like you and hope your channel succeeds. With a bazillion established woodworking channels out there, here's what I think would help your channel keep and gain viewers." Oftentimes people, especially woodworkers, aren't great with social interactions and their "you should" is really a clumsy compliment. You should take it as such. 😉 p.s. Glad you fixed the audio level.
I like your videos and commentary just the way they are. Being a woodworking introvert, I can relate. Just walked out of a birthday dinner reservation for my wife because the restaurant was too crowded with loud people. I hope you continue to make videos. I am learning a lot from them and find them educational and enjoyable. Thank you.
Do not worry about using trends. We understand there are many reasons to do it. Gaining some momentous momentum with subs by hitting some well traveled topics is going to allow you to continue doing videos you want to do. If your audience is larger you reach more people with your unique content. I think Lincoln Street Woodworks is a great example of grabbing the tail of TH-cam. You don’t have to go all in but definitely worth some thought for videos that can gain traction.
Just came across your channel recently. I’ve been loving it. Keep up the good work. PS I wish I could afford to be your client for the desk. That thing looks awesome.
Having watched saw till videos by both you and Rob Cosman, I've come to a conclusion. Regardless of the fact that I'm 10 generations Canadian, I say F! Rob Cosman!!! YOU are my woodworking hero!
Good stuff. My brother shared this and you're right with your comments. I find making videos and connecting with people is fun, but probably not going to get rich on this game!
Lol I enjoy your honest and humor. Im a newer hand tool mostly woodworker and I enjoy your insight on designing and because im still learning a lot of the skill involved I like the build videos. So as far as helping people you are. Your videos are entertaining and look forward to them. Thank you!
YOU SHOULD…… keep doing what you’re doing! Your content is terrific and inspiring for a lot of us (elder) woodworkers! I like the way you present your thought processes, and I don’t need another CNC/laser video!
I watch A TON of TH-cam woodworking and can honestly tell you that you are filling a void with this channel. It's unique and very well done (even with respect to sellers and Cosman). Just be patient and the subscribers will come....or set up a collaboration with someone that has a grip of viewers if you don't want to wait. I've seen this done numerous times with huge success. Have you started a Patreon page?
I've been watching your work and videos and I think you've done a very nice job. I do videography and editing and I don't think anyone who's not tried it has a clue how involved it is and how much work and time is devoted to a video. The inter web is full of folks who seem to have a life's mission of being trolls. I don't know the answer for that but, please don't let them get you too down. None of us say we don't feel the sting of such comments and they really are out of our control. You do a nice job and your work speaks for itself. Thanks for all the effort and time you put into is avocation.
Love your content! THANK YOU for your sharpening video. I switched to diamond paste. Just wish I had found that video before investing in my Shapton ceramic stones.
My only complaint if you want to call it one, would be to ask to see you do more projects. Your work is wonderful and beautiful. But we don't get to see you doing it enough. Keep doing what you love and ignore the haters.
I think you should keep doing you. I think every video you have made, or at least that I have seen, has inspired me to level up my work. oh? this part here that nobody will ever see? its lined with leather, just for added protection. I mean honestly?! personally I live my life by two simple principals, 1 I will figure out whatever I need to, based on a life time of figuring things out, and 2, get all the input you can, I couldn't care less where a good idea comes from. so you do you, small people like to make themselves taller by standing on the shoulders of others. That said if Rob Cosman or Paul Sellers suggest something, it has been my experience that it is wise to listen. then you adapt it so that it works for you.
RC, just wanted to drop in and say I am regularly inspired by your videos! I am floored by your skill and the beauty you instill into what you make. Glad you keep doing it, don’t let the haters (or demanders) get you down
I love your channel RC. Your wood work is inspiring, and your videos and sense of humor are outstanding. I look forward to seeing every new video. Keep on keeping on.
agreed,,,,, finewooking is fascinating cuz i want to start soon, but only a few people can appreciate the value of a piece of art , that's the down side. also i see on other channels the fine the gob the leaser support, not fair for the artisans, time will tell history will continue.
I have learned a couple of things in 70 years: 1. People are difficult. 2. There is always more than one way to do most everything. I watch your channel because I like your design direction. I find your delivery personable. I also subscribe to Paul Sellers, and am constantly amazed by complaints on his channel - "You're not making videos long enough." "You are using a bandsaw?! I thought this was hand-tool only!" So, even St.Paul the Patient gets razzed. See observation #1 above. Thanks for your mindful, lightly humorous content. I don't personally think you should do anything different. Uh-oh, I used the S word.
I hope you continue to put out content. I’ve enjoyed seeing your work. Are there any resources on angling the legs on a Roubo bench like yours? I was perfectly content to build one in the normal configuration, until I saw yours. It just makes more sense with the angled legs.
@@themountaintopjoinersshop8422 I piked that up a while back and have the fine woodworking plans for one. But neither really provide me with instructions on what I’m looking for. I may have to piece some plans together
I think your content and style is excellent. I keep expecting to see your viewing numbers explode. I assume it’s often down to the whims of the algorithm to what gets promoted. Please keep going!! I watch videos from all the makers you mentioned and I personally think your content is in that league too so I hope you’re on a path to similar viewership.
This is hilarious...the Paul sellers/Rob cosman type fanatism is nothing short of a religion. I'm not faulting them as educators, it's their die hard fans I find unbearable! Keep up the great videos, they'll pay off, it just takes a few years to build the audience 😊
YOU SHOULD make more of these videos! Imitating the viewer comments was really funny. Thanks.
From one introvert to another…keep doing you…trolls will be trolls.

You should do what makes YOU HAPPY 😊 ☺ 🤗

Always fun to watch your videos. I enjoy the commentary and straight forward delivery. keep it up
I have watched all of your videos and I look forward to more of them. Your style is high end I find your techniques very approachable...

Love the cameos of Sellers, Cosman, et al. Keep the videos coming
You should turn around and admire that tool cabinet behind you. That is impressive.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂You’re right!

PLEEEAAASSEEE, keep making videos! Your workmanship is superb, and your design eye is mind blowing.
Definitely keep making videos! Just found this channel and can’t stop watching! Your design videos and style are some of the best out there.
Glad you like them!

I am a new subscriber. Love the content! Lots of new ideas for my shop. Your channel will grow a lot.
Still trying to work out why more people haven't subbed... Your content is excellent!

I'm working on that, and FWIW, I show myself building drawer for something like ten minutes in my last video.
Ya I watched and enjoyed!

You should make more videos. . . . . . Sorry, couldn't help myself. 🙂

And you need a drone.
