So almost a year and a half later, but since you asked for feedback... I really enjoyed this format. You showed the process of the project, but the painting breaks for what the project is about was fun, too. Showing snippets of the journey toward gallery night really made this feel like a worthwhile project for any of us. I also appreciate the music choice over fastforwarded shop noise or dubstep (which has its place, but that's not quite here). I look forward to more like this and congrats on selling so many opening night!
Awesome stuff! I'd definitely be interested in seeing more painting introduced into your videos. Congrats on getting the majority sold, they're beautiful art.
I am so proud of you! All your talent and you took the time to share with us too. you are too cool!💖 Yes, please, make an adjunct channel with your painting and other art. Share more!
Dude - that was truly epic Michael! Just the amount of work and thought process that you put in to doing it as efficiently as possible was incredible, let alone the beautiful frames and paintings...truly awesome man! Well done!
Wow! Such a large task and you pulled it off. So glad you that the opening at the gallery went so well. Congratulations! Oh, and yes, I'd love to see a combo of painting and woodworking.
I always enjoy watching people create what ever it is. Great video and the show looked like it was a lot of fun! Worth the effort! Thank you for sharing it with us.
Damn, man! Making multiples of anything is a chore, I can't imagine 100 small picture frames. Great job, and amazing art! Wish I could have seen the show in person.
not sure why this popped up in my feed but I am glad it did, our family has been painting for the last year and recently decided to make frames for every single picture and painting in the house. we made the same framing sled a few weeks back. would like to see some painting videos
You could start a second channel for the painting and link to it in your descriptions below your videos and mention it and I would subscribe. I am sure others would too, then you can keep your core wood only people happy and find new art focused people for that channel that wouldn't subscribe to this one. Great art and great woodworking. Love your videos, keep up the great content. Thanks!
Literally how I got into woodworking was to start making my own frames for my paintings. Really happy to see someone in the doing the same! And a follow for you sir!
I've been a professional framer for almost 40 years. This job would have taken me a similar amount of time due to the manual labour, maybe a week less for using pro equipment - but the sanding... omg the sanding... Excellent job, mate. Beautiful work.
The massive task you took on was very impressive. The frames look great but I am impressed with the the clever jigs you made and more important, the paintings were awesome. Great job!
Holy Schmoly! That was truly impressive from all aspects. The frame, the paintings, the displays, the video production, thoroughly enjoyed it all. Keep up the great work!
Great project for amazing paintings. Yes, I would like to see more about your painting. Also those cutoffs from the rabbets are screaming to be another project of some kind.
WOW !!! OK, so I came here for the woodworking, I've been a subscriber for a while. When I saw your mitre jig last week I thought "yeah that's cool but I'll never need to do that many mitre cuts". Secondly, your artwork is amazing, to take on all the mammals is a mammoth project and you smashed it 👍 The other things I took from this video were all the little tweaks you did to the shop to facilitate the project, the block screwed to the bench to sit the frame on while sanding, screwing the posts to the wall for the drying frames and the jig for mounting the pictures to the backing. Great video, everyone could learn something from this.
One tip for sanding - fix a and paper sheet to a flat surface. Then you just sand the entire side at once, holding the sanding block and work piece for that long must have left you with a claw hand for hours after.
Wow, I have enjoyed your woodworking videos, but somehow I've missed the fact that you are a talented painter. I would definitely like to see more of your paintings and the painting process.
I have watched this vid many times and now I am about to make my own frames for the first time only 42 though. Thanks for the confidence boost. I love the whales and dolphins the most. X
OK, wow, that's one way to do it. Looks like the most tedious project ever, but also rewarding. I am glad the exhibition went well, especially after all that work. Maybe in future do a framing session every time you get ten paintings done, that would save you from ever having to do such a massive task again.
Finally getting around to watching this. What an undertaking! Glad to see the showing at the gallery went well, there were quite a few people in that bit of space. Well-deserved success!
Subscribed! I love all aspects of art! Im a wood worker, soap maker, photographer, leather crafter, and soon to be a watercolor artist. Love watercolor paintings
Very cool. I did not know that you Are also my painter. It was so cool to watch this. It was also really neat to see the opening and how well you did. The paintings are beautiful. The subject matter is interesting and beautiful. The frames look amazing.
Wow what a feat! Like a marathon of woodworking! 😆 I always enjoy your videos. And would dig seeing more on your painting process. Congrats on such a successful project!
Very awesome. The paintings, especially the whole series together is really cool. Congrats on the show and the success of it. My GOD did that look like it got crazy tedious but you pushed through! I personally probably wouldn't watch a standalone painting video but i certainly wouldn't mind them being featured in woodworking videos.
You are simply brilliant as an artist and as a woodworker. Awesome video, and i enjoyed every moment of it, particularly the build part and the art show itself. Thanks for sharing.
I watch a LOT of TH-cam videos about woodworking, metal working, and just plain making stuff. But sir - this was another level of cool!! Just making one of those lovely little frames was interesting but 141??!! Wow - that’s persistence and dedication. And the artwork itself was great. I’d watch more of that for sure. Totally awesome project Michael 👍👍 And so happy the sales went well. You deserved it after all the hard work. I’ll be subscribing for sure 😉
I would definitely be interested in seeing more painting. Especially custom paintings melded with custom woodwork. Like bringing both things together into a project would be sick.... Great job and congrats on basically selling out on opening night. Ok you didn't totally sell out but 92 out of 100 and change is pretty much a sell out in my book.
You’re welcome Michael. So this video took me down the wormhole of your channel and the fox cutaway is amazing. I would love to see more stuff like that on your channel. That s!?t was dope as f&$k.
Painting vids? Yes! If you need a second channel for that and want to, I'll follow. If you want to pepper them on this one, also not going to get a complaint from me! Excellent work!

Brother that’s sooo cool. Go for it with painting, do what makes you happy and people will follow. Congrats on the show too
Thanks Komar!

Can someone explain how Michael doesn't have more subs and views? These videos and projects are freaking outstanding!
It takes time for these to get around
I suppose we need to share
I’ve just come across his videos this week
Cheers
@@paulcritchley464 And 2 years later its still the same...
I've been a professional framer for almost 40 years. This job would have taken me a similar amount of time due to the manual labour, maybe a week less for using pro equipment - but the sanding... omg the sanding... Excellent job, mate. Beautiful work.
Thanks! I used to work in a frame shop, and I definitely was pining for some industrial equipment. Thanks for watching!
Most excellent work! Seriously, the frames are nice but the paintings are beautiful. Congratulations!
Thank you!!
The massive task you took on was very impressive. The frames look great but I am impressed with the the clever jigs you made and more important, the paintings were awesome. Great job!
Thanks so much! Jigs are definitely the key
As someone who enjoys woodworking and has made several frames over the years, my wrists ache just watching. Love the finished frames.
I was very sore by the end of the month. Strangely it was the backs of my arms that ached the most. Thanks!
I need a nap just watching all those frames being made
Holy Schmoly! That was truly impressive from all aspects. The frame, the paintings, the displays, the video production, thoroughly enjoyed it all. Keep up the great work!
J. Brian Caudle thank you!
Such an incredible undertaking in and of itself. Not to mention the unthinkable amount of time it took to draw and paint all the artwork. Wow!
Awesome feat!!! Congratulations!!! Yes more paintings and wood projects combo would be great. Hope you signed all the artworks 🙄
Thanks! I did sign them all. It took about 2 hours😂
Great project for amazing paintings. Yes, I would like to see more about your painting. Also those cutoffs from the rabbets are screaming to be another project of some kind.
Thanks William! Good to know! Yeah, I saw that too...Hmmm
WOW !!! OK, so I came here for the woodworking, I've been a subscriber for a while. When I saw your mitre jig last week I thought "yeah that's cool but I'll never need to do that many mitre cuts".

Ihave never seen SO positive project and movie!!!!
Awesome artwork !
Great job on all those frames. That's a load of work there !
I like the painting snippets within the woodworking video. It adds a nice element, kind of like the dog walks in Ishitani videos.
Thanks! I love those Ishitani videos
so beautiful ,big project ! Bravo!
One tip for sanding - fix a and paper sheet to a flat surface. Then you just sand the entire side at once, holding the sanding block and work piece for that long must have left you with a claw hand for hours after.
Congratulations!! what a massive accomplishment..
wild someone can be so talented in so many creative outlets. Awesome video.
Your tenacity and woodworking skills are fantastic. Needless to say, you're an excellent artist and congratulations on the show and sales.
Thanks Terry!
Congratulations It's beautiful!!!
Thank you for your Job
Hugemongous amount of work.... Wow, great job, tnx for sharing it...!!!

Self motivation in all it's glory. Well done. Would love to see more painting videos if you have the time.
A due date definitely helps the motivation! Thanks Anita, I will definitely do some more painting stuff down the road.
You are very hardworking god bless you always....

Thanks Jolien!!
I have been following along on instgram and had not realized that you painted them. Great work, especially the badger.

Congrats. So awesome buddy.
Thanks Pat!
