Woodworking has allowed me to create something that I can share with my family. I have made many things for my kids, granddaughter and wife. It makes me proud to make things for my family. Thank you for your channel.
The community you have built is because of your genuineness! Like you I searched the internet and only found one or two sites where the people didn't have $100,000 shops and unlimited material to work with. But yours has everything I was looking for! An ordinary shop, but with a guy that had tremendous talent, and a way of taking something nice, but pretty ordinary and make something great! And on top of that, you encouraged us to do it and put our own spin on it! And in that way, it made it fun! You show us that scraps can really be something nice with a little bit of imagination!
Sounds like you are from South Carolina. I spent some time in North Carolina. I’m a guy that’s working on his fourth round. I’m going to hook up with an old guy and help him with his car business and I can use part of the shop to work on woodworking stuff.
I have to say that I honestly found your story of how you got to where you are now was genuinely inspiring. I've been a subscriber of yours for about 6 months and came across your channel much the same that you came to create your brilliant channel. I was struggling to find a content creator who didn't assume that you had a fully decked out workshop. Your honesty, professionalism, and your ability to express your knowledge and love of woodcraft are inspiring. I've been on a long journey of redefining and an abrupt change in my life, and I found that woodcraft and craft in many forms helped save me from myself. Your true passion and humour are so infectious that I can't wait for your next video. So, thank you for being such a genuine person who cares as much about the community that you created, as you do about your craft.
I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your TH-cam channel! I’m a 76-year-old woodworker myself, and watching your videos is always a highlight for me. I learn something new every time and feel like I’m gaining so much mileage with each episode. Thank you for sharing your passion and skills with all of us - it truly inspires me to keep honing my craft. Keep up the amazing work!”
I'm a 73 year old woodworker. I enjoy your videos. I learn a lot and I ni longer buy any furniture. I simply buy the wood and make it myself. It is stronger and better than what they sell in the stores. Thanks for all of your ideas. They are very helpful.
I really enjoyed the story. I am a musician myself, and have ran my own band over the last 12 years, and also have done construction my entire life. Now, knocking on 30’s door I am just getting into the woodworking side of things and have enjoyed making content myself. My hat is off to you.
What has woodworking done for me? Well, about 2 years ago my daughter started her clothing business. She makes one-of-a-kind clothing from Upcycled fabric. She is my Rock Star. I go to all her events, set up tents and displays and hang out. I finally realized at one of these that I should be set up right there with her. Man, its been so much fun to share all that time with her while we both pursue our True Passions. Keep 'em coming Daniel, love the inspiration you bring to my shop.
You’re such a great master trainer. I love to watch you and wish I could join all your different classes but I’m learning so much in the hours I listen to you everyday and night!! My Viking my teacher!!!
Wow. I am so glad I found this video now. You can hear how passionate you are in your voice. I am just getting started wood working. Learning everything my old mind can absorb. Your channel has given me a ton of helpful information and idea. For all of that, I thank you. Keep up the amazing work.
You definitely showed me I could do it...I had always wanted to be able to do it but it didn't come natural lol...now I'm making cutting board, Charcuterie Boards and started my first box...Never stop being yourself when I describe your channel to others I'm like just a dude that enjoys woodworking and teaching others...
Dude, I love you and your personality. Your honesty. Nothing brutal, just share your heart. Thank you for feeling comfortable enough to do it. It helps get the rest of us to share our hearts and follow our dreams You are exactly what most woodworkers need! You are badass that you found out exactly where you were meant to be. Maybe you never thought you’d be a teacher, but you were meant to teach the masses. Life has been not easy for you obviously but your future is so freaking bright!
Damn . Gimme a second to gather my thoughts 💭. Wow Scotty ! That comment hit me right in the feels ! Very humbled and honored to hear this comment . I’m very excited to have you along for the journey and can’t wait to grow. You and the audience motivate me to be better and better each time ! I must give y’all credit for that ! The feedback is always so motivating and inspiring you’re an absolute rock star my dear friend
I have PTSD and depression from serving in Iraq. I hurt for so long and had no idea what to do. Now, God, The Wife and my therapist are the biggest parts of my therapy, but woodworking offers me a physical outlet. I'm working toward showing those like me about woodworking and the benefits. You have personally encouraged me and given advice, and I truly appreciate it and you. Thank you for being you, and let's CHARLIE MIKE!!
I wasn't aware you were pretty new here. I just got back into woodworking in the last year. I needed woodworking for my depression. I'm glad our timeframe lined up and I found your channel. You are goofy but knowledgeable, we would be friends.
Thank you, Daniel, for sharing more of your journey. As I continue through your library, I am finding a great 'salt of the Earth' type of guy. Thank you again.
Hey brother , it’s my pleasure to have a platform to share my little bit of knowledge and self with others in hopes to inspire. Thanks so much for tuning in to it ! You’re an absolute rock star 💫
Wood working takes me to a place that time stands still. I get an idea and run with it, and it is awesome to make something that is rough, chipped and splintered to something awesome. Making from your heart to something that will be special in someone else heart is true bliss.
Daniel, great origin story! I remember it became a daily check in as you climbed to 100k subs. You have done an incredible job building your community. Your box work is stunning and inspiring.
Ok. I usually don't comment..but your honesty inspired me. This last year has been filled with several deaths, and just culminated yesturday with loosing my job. WOODWORKING has been the light to heal, and to dream. Honestly, so has your channel. Now if I could just get the nerve to try and sell something. Thank you ROCKSTAR!
Hey Chuck ! Well sir , I appreciate you taking the time to comment , and I’m honored to have inspired you , you’re an absolute rock star 💫 and if ya ever have any questions just comment on a video and I got you , Skål 🫡
Brother, this is exactly where I am. My kids are growing, I have one getting ready for college. Two younger ones that love life. And all I want is to provide. My wife thinks I'm crazy. I hate my regular job but know I need to do more to continue to provide, but I feel empty. I'm working to get my woodworking to get me out. I've also started raising bees. I love working with my hands and making things that are real. My family is the utmost important thing to me, but I want more for myself and to be happy. I will be successful and you are a HUGE part of why I will be. I thank you for all you do. When I make it, i"ll let you know.
Brother ! I absolutely love hearing this ! With an attitude like that you will without a doubt be successful brother ! Thanks so much for the kind words and I’m happy to inspire you in such a way. Can’t wait to hear your success fulfilled
I have to tell you, dude. The Bearded Viking. Ever since I seen your first video I was hooked. I have been an artist all my life starting with drawing. Then with doing canes and walking sticks. You rock my friend.
Your channel / community is a joy to watch. I have always enjoyed wood working, there's something satisfying about taking a piece of wood and creating something useful or decorative. I have noted many of your projects that I want to do in the near future. I am just getting my shop back up and running after being laid up for about 2 years with no strength. It feels so good to see it all coming back together. Keep doing what you're doing, you are an inspiration to many!
I did come across your channel several months ago, followed and watched your videos ever since. I found woodworking relaxing and is my own escape, and try to build my small shop with limited tools and started my own channel with few uploads. Skål, all the way from Norway! 💯
First, I love the keepsake box! I think I was drawn to your channel in the beginning BECAUSE you were working with minimal tools and making beautiful things without all the expensive GRAND woodworking tools. Also I was impressed by how original and down to earth you were, and still are, and that's why I said to you before, stay true to yourself and who you are. Don't misunderstand, I am happy that you have gotten more things that make things easier for you, but you are still you and that's what people love and that's what makes people stay with you. I don't do woodworking,except for messing around with little things but I do enjoy watching people like you make things come to life from a piece of lumber. Keep it up and I will keep watching.
Hey Daniel, I absolutely identify with your philosophy. Making sawdust is a way to totally wrap one’s self up and take a break from the strains that this life puts on most of us. Creation is the most satisfying feeling in the world and sharing is the second most satisfying. Keep up the great work.
I just became a subscriber about 2 months ago. Love that you made things that were actually doable. I am currently going back and watching some of your older videos. This box you made was beautiful. I really enjoyed hearing about your journey. I've just recently started woodworking whenever I can. I like that you are "real" and modest. I've even showed my 7 year old daughter a couple videos and she absolutely loves your dancing and adadabaglue. Keep up the great work.
Love the box Daniel! Thank you for sharing your story! I especially liked how you met your wife! One day it would be next to see her do a project with you!
Loved the box you built. I enjoy woodworking. It helps me to relax from work. Gets me doing something in my free time. If i wasn't doing woodworking i would be sitting in my recliner eating and watching tv.
Well, this video is on a box. That’s what I always wanted to do. Side note. Another channel I follow. 731 woodworks. He started with borrowed tools and made some lawn chairs. They sold. He was hooked and moved on from there. He got the bright idea to start on TH-cam. Took him awhile but he got his silver button. In about 7 years he has amazed 600,000 subscribers. He retired from his regular job and is doing TH-cam full time. He started in a lean-to shed type building and then managed to talk his wife into letting him have the two car garage built on the house. Keep at it brother. You got the knack of an awesome dude.
Loved your story of your life. You are a remarkable man and how you have grown is showing that we all can do better. Love watching your shows and trying to make some of your items. Thank you. X
Thank you for posting your story. The box is incredible, I hope I can get my skills up to that level at some point. I have noticed that I feel completely at peace when I am in my garage working on a project. Tools are limited, but figuring out how to do something with pallet wood or whatever I have on hand is both stressful and relaxing at the same time. Thank you for your channel. It has become my favorite.
@@Bearded-Viking-WoodWorks it's heartwarming to see that you and your son get along so well. My. Dad was never there and I'm sure your presence has more of an impact on him than you'll ever know. I'm a little jealous lol but it's such a beautiful thing.
Beautiful! Great job. I recently started watching your videos. I like the style. I believe we all can pick up certain tips. Kinda started my own business. I'm just letting it grow. I've always enjoyed woodworking. I'm almost 50 and finally found my happy place. Keep up the great work!
I combat wounded soldier you walk about stress I was ready to end it then I got into woodworking it felled my life you could say woodworking in wheelchair saved my life
I really appreciate you sharing your story with us. I'm from a small town in Southeastern, Kentucky. You seem a lot like the guys that I grew up with. I'm sure a lot of your viewers feel that as well. I once saw a smart guy on TV talking about the health benefits of having a career that you love. He said one of the most important things to look for is to find something that makes time stop for you. Woodworking certainly checks that box for me.
It's hard for me. I do have PTSD from the military, and I'm not whining about it, but some days are still hard to get out into the shop. I love woodworking and in a lot of ways it's therapy, but some days just suck. A few in the community know that about me and they are encouraging. I can say that the community has done more for me than woodworking has. A close tie, but the community wins. Being 100% honest, I didn't like BVW at first. I also have Asperger's and I just didn't get you Daniel. But, I kept watching videos and soon I began to understand and consider you a friend. Hopefully we'll meet one day, Brother. Always put a spin on it. God bless and keep rockin' on, Rock Star.
Hey Joey ! You’re an absolute rock star 💫 and your honesty is one of your best attributes! Skål 🫡 I know I can come across different , wierd , strange , aggressive, masculine, jokey, and much more but I’m glad you saw the genuine heart I put into this ! Means a lot
I just found your channel today and this was my first time watching one of your videos. Congratulations on all that you've accomplished man! You are a great influence to all. Thanks to your amazing son, you can share your talents with the world. Your attitude and honesty make your calming voice even more enjoyable to listen to. God bless you and your family and i pray you reach heights unfathomable to you and your son. Always be yourself and thank God everyday for everything
Peace brother Mike , you thank you so much for the great feedback , I’m truly humbled to have been as successful as I am in this YT journey and happy to now have you along for the ride . Skål 🫡
Daniel what a stunning box and amazing story. You quote in the video your lucky to have us members and subscribers NO WE are lucky to have you and the family you have created with all of us you have no idea how much this means to me and i think the rest of the crew you no who you are. You ask what woodworking does for us well for me passion head space (when am down) knowledge and most of all a family and band of brothers and sisters who may be all over the globe but true family ❤️👍🏴
I wanted to let you know how special your videos can be to some of us. Several years ago, I built a wooden train with my grandson. We made one car at a time whenever he came to visit. He was around 3 years old when we started. As we assembled them, he would always say, "A dab o' glue. A dab o' glue". You really put me in a teary eyed happy place this morning. Thank you and don't get a big head over your success. You're great already.
Wow 😢. This is the first comment that has sprung a tear from my face. To hear this humbled the heart . ❤️ time is precious and your grandson will never forget those memories. You’re a rock star 💫
When he has a nickname like the Bearded Viking I don’t think you have to worry about him getting a big head. 🎉 keep up the good fight, I’ve been into woodworking since childhood, I had a 4 story treehouse with a fireplace and bar by 8th grade. Every Xmas and birthday I would ask for one new tool and by my early 20’s I accumulated allot of tools, but instead of following my passion I succumbed to family and friends peer pressure for me to attend a 4 year college and obtain a degree and work in a shirt and tie every day in some office building. I like you Viking was very unhappy and saw no point of working to make corporations wealthy. I finally bought some equipment and started my own hardwood flooring business. It filled the void to be creating something and seeing the results of the fruits of my labor for a while but it lacked the true creativity and challenge I was craving. Covid gave me the opportunity to put floors on hold and just build my two car garage into a workshop and and perfect or tune up some of my rusty skillls with hand tools. I purchased a lathe and jumped headfirst into turning, next a welder and like the lathe I watched all the you tube tutorials I could get my hands on to weld at a reasonable rate. The only problem Mr. Viking is I lack social media skills and video editing and filming skills. I’ve done some amazing unique projects and my wife and kids are always telling me that I need to film the process and post it l, but my shyness on the camera and my thick Boston accent makes me feel like viewers would not enjoy my content. If you ever need an assistant and wouldn’t mind letting me intern and shadow your marketing skills I will work for free. I could probably only do it for a week or two as I have Two kids and a crazy little dog that’s like a 3rd child. But I’m desperate to make this happen, and any insight or wisdom you wouldn’t mind sharing with me would be more than greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for everything you do.
Beautiful box. Great time for me to see this as I'm making a recipe box from spalded maple. My favorite wood combo is white oak and walnut. Thanks for showing this.
Simply beautiful 💙 Love the contrast of the walnut against the light maple. Thanks for sharing a little bit more of your story with us. I've said it before but I'll say it again You are an absolute inspiration and finding your channel and the incredible community you've brought together has saved my life, literally. God Bless You Daniel and the BVW Gang 😇 🔥💜🔥 Keep Shining ✨💎 BTW you could inscribe the inside lid with the xtool "You don't have to be great to start but you have to start to be Great"
I absolutely love your channel. I follow a ton of woodworking channels but only get notifications for yours and about 10 others. I haven't been keeping up with your live videos at all because of the lack of time; but I never miss any of your regular videos. As far as selling out, I really have nothing against people taking sponsors and making some money. We all need to make a living. I actively block youtube ads, but I love the built in ads that you guys do. I even tried ag1 after seeing it on the bournon moth channel. I also have nothing against youtubers using higher end tools like the festool domino or the shaper origin. We'd all love to have one. You can't get mad when someone pays their dues and does the hard work and enjoys the perks of all that hard work.
Such a powerful message! Thank you for inspiring so many of us to get out there and do what makes us happy, as well as bringing us all together in this community.
Man that was an inspiration for me to see how you s tarted out and where you are now I want to start up my wood working journey but to be honest scared to death lol cause woodworking to me is a de-stress for me it like going into another world making something out of nothing so thank you for what you do and never stop
Hey bud , thanks for the comment , yes woodworking is my therapy and I’m very fortunate to be able to do it and enjoy it . And always remember , a year from now , you’ll wish you started today. 🫡
That was really cool of you to tell your story… I don’t think I’ve seen another woodworker do that… I enjoyed it, except the flood part 😬 I literally yelled “NOOOO!” I’ve just started my woodworking journey, I have more tools than most & am grateful… just figuring out how to do certain things, use the tools properly, safely… and of course to fullest potential. I found your channel a few months ago & subscribed immediately… been singin the glue song with you ever since 😂 I enjoy your work, advice, personality… all of it really. Now your story has inspired me to step it up a notch. So thank you for that!
😊 wow that really means a lot to hear , that what I have built the channel around , inspiring others. You my friend are an absolute rock star 💫 stay in touch and I’m happy you found the channel 😊
Brother, the box, like most of your boxes was unique and top shelf, you knocked it out of the park. As part of your new extended family which has helped us all become better woodworkers plus provide an almost nightly spot to come hang out together, where questions are asked and answered with no judgement. I thank you again for starting it all and keeping it going. Your channel is one of the best on the Tube, no bull, down to earth, woodworking.
Great personal story. I too, love woodworking and find that it puts me in the "zone". It when I can get so focused working on a project that time floats on by. Keep on keeping on!
Awesome vid Daniel. Especially with the historical background which was a nice touch. Keep it up brother! You are doing great things and I am proud to be a member of this community.
Incredible build!!! You are an inspiration to say the least!!! I’ve had a rough couple of weeks and I needed this video more than you know!!! I thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!
Wow. That's awesome Daniel. I am also from SC. Probably 200 miles north of you in York county. Although I don't live there anymore. Tis good to see so many south carolinians on the tube!
My God man. Beautiful…always. Love the voice over in this one. Also love seeing you grow and achieve your accomplishments. Woodworking has given me a reason to revisit something I enjoy. I have been looking for something, saw your videos, and thought “why not”. Thank you for helping me get back to finding something in my life I truly enjoy.
Outstanding box.. looks amazing. And like you I have searched the internet 4 Goodwood workers that I could relate to and I've only found a couple and you being one of them so you have a subscriber for life brother 🍻.. love the videos and I'm absolutely stuck on sawdust !
Great video! Awesome project! And wonderful story!!! I really like this video format. You still explain the build and tell the story during the other parts. You have truly built a wonderful community which I am glad to be a part of. Keep up the good work brother!!!!
I loved to hear your story that was told so perfectly ! You are an inspiration and your family can be proud of you. Im in England and in a much smaller way than you regarding woodworking but you help me so much giving me ideas and i wish you all the success in the future ! Keep on rocking !
Wonderful video! Thank you. And what a beautiful box, yet again!! I’ve really just begun my woodworking journey, but in the little time I’ve done it, I’ve also found a lot of happiness (even after the algorithm of subtracting the frustrating moments).
I started as a carpenters helper when I was a loser in my early 20s. Became a lead on crews for 15 years before we had our 2nd child. Had to take a low paying factory job, but still took carpentry jobs on the side. Flash forward 30 years and I retired as an engineer. I tooled up before retirement to do just the kind of projects you video! So thank you for these awesome videos! As for content creation, would you think it's a good idea to make a "how to", video on creation and publication? You know, for us old folks. lolol Cheers brother!
lol , well I do have some videos on how I got started on YT and the steps I took to get over 124,000 subs in under 10 months , not sure if you’ve seen it as i think it is a members only video but I’ll check and see and if it’s members only I’ll switch it to public and send link to video here
Awesome Video Brother love the stories about your journey and your past struggles and how it’s only made you stronger!! You deserve the best keep up the good hard work!! 👊
If you put your adhesive sand paper on a piece of 1/8” or 1/4” plywood, you will always have a reclaimed sanding flat. Reusable until it is time to put new adhesive sand paper on the backside of sanding flat. You could also put different grit paper on both sides. No waste. 👍👍👍
Love your channel bro'. At first, when I crossed your channel I thought you were a little out there but I enjoyed your builds so I came back again then again. You're definitely not your normal dude but hey man, that's what I like aboutcha. I mean why be normal when it's so much more fun coloring outside the box. Hang in there and keep the builds going.
I remember that flood, it hurt my heart to see that happen. My shop is in my basement and I have to walk around in puddles since the northeast is turning into a rain Forrest apparently
My friend, you never fail to amaze me. I just received my iPhone tripod and will be recording trial/sample videos tomorrow... let's see how bad I am. the editing will be my downfall. But i shall overcome. Thank you, Danail.
Daniel your leading a charge that is inspiration driven and all the people not only growing in their woodworking skills. They are now venturing into TH-cam to create a wave weary travelers on the road to self discovery 🫡
Btw The best thing you could have ever done was to let us experience your property getting destroyed by Mother Nature. I think it brought us closer to you and closer with others. We all felt the same thing. It was traumatizing to everyone to watch you and yours suffer like you did I’m super proud what you have made out od such awful circumstances! Keep rocking it!
Ive built house s for over 39 years doing everything fromnthe ground up had my own business only had my son once in a while whene he wasn't working helping me. I finally had enough of working 17 hours a day and stated building tiny homee on wheel about 10 years ago also doing my wood working business i am now on my last tiny house build doing my own i have multiple clients wanting a tiny house but i have had enough of building the only builds im doing from now on are my own builds. Just want to do my wood working business again and thats what im doing in between doing my own tiny house build and running my homestead. Every one I knoe also says start a xou tube channel and teach people your knowledge. Im like im good no thanks. Wood working is so much more relaxing tgen dealing with clients 7 days a week.
@Bearded-Viking-WoodWorks yeah dealing with clients is a headache not like it used to be when I first started building years ago. I used to enjoy it. I was the last one I knew that quit building stick build homes. Every one I knew that also did it quit years before I did they all said I can't believe you went longer than we did. They said we had enough years ago. Believe me I did to bit I was hanging one thinking something would change. You take good care and enjoy your passion. I got an hour in today with a build I'm working on before I had to quit and take care of the animals. Usually I have more time today was not one of those days.
It's not the tools that make the end result. It's the man behind the tools.
Damn strait ! Well said
Woodworking has allowed me to create something that I can share with my family. I have made many things for my kids, granddaughter and wife. It makes me proud to make things for my family. Thank you for your channel.
You’re so very welcome , it’s my pleasure

@ChrisWhitley-tx1oz yes sir , South Carolina born and Raised . That’s awesome you’ll have some shop space to use !!
I have to say that I honestly found your story of how you got to where you are now was genuinely inspiring. I've been a subscriber of yours for about 6 months and came across your channel much the same that you came to create your brilliant channel. I was struggling to find a content creator who didn't assume that you had a fully decked out workshop. Your honesty, professionalism, and your ability to express your knowledge and love of woodcraft are inspiring.
I've been on a long journey of redefining and an abrupt change in my life, and I found that woodcraft and craft in many forms helped save me from myself. Your true passion and humour are so infectious that I can't wait for your next video. So, thank you for being such a genuine person who cares as much about the community that you created, as you do about your craft.
I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your TH-cam channel! I’m a 76-year-old woodworker myself, and watching your videos is always a highlight for me.

Wow not even 30 yet ! You’re starting at the perfect time brother 🫡
What has woodworking done for me? Well, about 2 years ago my daughter started her clothing business. She makes one-of-a-kind clothing from Upcycled fabric. She is my Rock Star. I go to all her events, set up tents and displays and hang out. I finally realized at one of these that I should be set up right there with her. Man, its been so much fun to share all that time with her while we both pursue our True Passions. Keep 'em coming Daniel, love the inspiration you bring to my shop.
Hey man thanks so much for! Your daughter must love having her rock star dad with her at events
Wood working has given me a whole new world I love with all my heart. If I can learn to close in my carport I’ll really be in business!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Heck yeah ♥️
You’re such a great master trainer. I love to watch you and wish I could join all your different classes but I’m learning so much in the hours I listen to you everyday and night!! My Viking my teacher!!!
😊 it’s my pleasure ♥️
I'm glad you're here and Mother Nature didn't stop you. Great channel.
Hey thanks bro I appreciate ya
Just watched this video. Such a great story. I am 71 and just getting started in wood working. Still building my shop, but I am on high ground. 🙂
Praise God for high ground , 😂 happy to have you brother . It’s never too late to start
Wow. I am so glad I found this video now. You can hear how passionate you are in your voice. I am just getting started wood working. Learning everything my old mind can absorb. Your channel has given me a ton of helpful information and idea. For all of that, I thank you. Keep up the amazing work.

Hell yeah man ! Love to hear this 😊
Dude, I love you and your personality. Your honesty. Nothing brutal, just share your heart. Thank you for feeling comfortable enough to do it. It helps get the rest of us to share our hearts and follow our dreams
You are exactly what most woodworkers need!
You are badass that you found out exactly where you were meant to be. Maybe you never thought you’d be a teacher, but you were meant to teach the masses. Life has been not easy for you obviously but your future is so freaking bright!
Damn . Gimme a second to gather my thoughts 💭. Wow Scotty ! That comment hit me right in the feels ! Very humbled and honored to hear this comment . I’m very excited to have you along for the journey and can’t wait to grow. You and the audience motivate me to be better and better each time ! I must give y’all credit for that ! The feedback is always so motivating and inspiring you’re an absolute rock star my dear friend
I have PTSD and depression from serving in Iraq. I hurt for so long and had no idea what to do. Now, God, The Wife and my therapist are the biggest parts of my therapy, but woodworking offers me a physical outlet. I'm working toward showing those like me about woodworking and the benefits. You have personally encouraged me and given advice, and I truly appreciate it and you. Thank you for being you, and let's CHARLIE MIKE!!
Haha ! 😆 love it ! Let’s Charlie Mike.

Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure
I wasn't aware you were pretty new here. I just got back into woodworking in the last year. I needed woodworking for my depression. I'm glad our timeframe lined up and I found your channel. You are goofy but knowledgeable, we would be friends.
Yes sir , 10 months in on this YT content , having a blast , thanks my friend , I have no doubt we would be friends 😆
Thank you, Daniel, for sharing more of your journey. As I continue through your library, I am finding a great 'salt of the Earth' type of guy. Thank you again.
Hey brother , it’s my pleasure to have a platform to share my little bit of knowledge and self with others in hopes to inspire. Thanks so much for tuning in to it ! You’re an absolute rock star 💫
Wood working takes me to a place that time stands still. I get an idea and run with it, and it is awesome to make something that is rough, chipped and splintered to something awesome. Making from your heart to something that will be special in someone else heart is true bliss.
Indeed , well said my friend 😊
The box ended up beautiful.
Thank you
I remember watching the flood live. It was heartbreaking 😢😢
Yes it was , the out poor of support with thoughts & prayers was so amazing to watch and hear. Thanks brother
@@Bearded-Viking-WoodWorks always brother you the man
Daniel, great origin story! I remember it became a daily check in as you climbed to 100k subs. You have done an incredible job building your community.
Your box work is stunning and inspiring.
Thank you so very much. I’m very happy to have you along for the journey
I really wanted to see the inside of the box!! It's beautiful!
Sorry about that . I didn’t realize I didn’t show it , 😞
Ok. I usually don't comment..but your honesty inspired me. This last year has been filled with several deaths, and just culminated yesturday with loosing my job. WOODWORKING has been the light to heal, and to dream. Honestly, so has your channel. Now if I could just get the nerve to try and sell something. Thank you ROCKSTAR!
Hey Chuck ! Well sir , I appreciate you taking the time to comment , and I’m honored to have inspired you , you’re an absolute rock star 💫 and if ya ever have any questions just comment on a video and I got you , Skål 🫡
Just jump in! Whether you sell on the roadside, at a craft show, on marketplace, or all thee - break the ice and get started.
Brother, this is exactly where I am. My kids are growing, I have one getting ready for college. Two younger ones that love life. And all I want is to provide. My wife thinks I'm crazy. I hate my regular job but know I need to do more to continue to provide, but I feel empty. I'm working to get my woodworking to get me out. I've also started raising bees. I love working with my hands and making things that are real. My family is the utmost important thing to me, but I want more for myself and to be happy. I will be successful and you are a HUGE part of why I will be. I thank you for all you do. When I make it, i"ll let you know.
Brother ! I absolutely love hearing this ! With an attitude like that you will without a doubt be successful brother ! Thanks so much for the kind words and I’m happy to inspire you in such a way. Can’t wait to hear your success fulfilled
I have to tell you, dude. The Bearded Viking. Ever since I seen your first video I was hooked. I have been an artist all my life starting with drawing. Then with doing canes and walking sticks. You rock my friend.
Hey brother ! Thanks for the feedback . I’ve always wanted to build a walking stick / cane , that’s awesome , 👏 happy to have ya bro . Skål 🫡
Your channel / community is a joy to watch. I have always enjoyed wood working, there's something satisfying about taking a piece of wood and creating something useful or decorative. I have noted many of your projects that I want to do in the near future. I am just getting my shop back up and running after being laid up for about 2 years with no strength. It feels so good to see it all coming back together.
Keep doing what you're doing, you are an inspiration to many!
Wow thank you brother ‘ happy to hear this ! I bet you can’t wait to make some sawdust ! You’re an absolute rock star 💫
I did come across your channel several months ago, followed and watched your videos ever since. I found woodworking relaxing and is my own escape, and try to build my small shop with limited tools and started my own channel with few uploads. Skål, all the way from Norway! 💯
Skål 🫡 thank you brother ! I appreciate ya
First, I love the keepsake box! I think I was drawn to your channel in the beginning BECAUSE you were working with minimal tools and making beautiful things without all the expensive GRAND woodworking tools. Also I was impressed by how original and down to earth you were, and still are, and that's why I said to you before, stay true to yourself and who you are. Don't misunderstand, I am happy that you have gotten more things that make things easier for you, but you are still you and that's what people love and that's what makes people stay with you. I don't do woodworking,except for messing around with little things but I do enjoy watching people like you make things come to life from a piece of lumber. Keep it up and I will keep watching.
Skål 🫡 wow thank you so much this really means a lot my friend . God bless you
Hey Daniel, I absolutely identify with your philosophy. Making sawdust is a way to totally wrap one’s self up and take a break from the strains that this life puts on most of us. Creation is the most satisfying feeling in the world and sharing is the second most satisfying. Keep up the great work.
Skål 🫡 thank you my friend ! This means a lot
I just became a subscriber about 2 months ago. Love that you made things that were actually doable. I am currently going back and watching some of your older videos. This box you made was beautiful. I really enjoyed hearing about your journey. I've just recently started woodworking whenever I can. I like that you are "real" and modest. I've even showed my 7 year old daughter a couple videos and she absolutely loves your dancing and adadabaglue. Keep up the great work.
Hey brother . Man that is so awesome , tell your daughter i said , Skål 🫡. Thanks so much for tuning in and look forward to chatting
Love the box Daniel! Thank you for sharing your story! I especially liked how you met your wife! One day it would be next to see her do a project with you!
We shall see she is pretty camera shy lol
Loved the box you built.
I enjoy woodworking. It helps me to relax from work. Gets me doing something in my free time. If i wasn't doing woodworking i would be sitting in my recliner eating and watching tv.
lol 😆 I know that’s right ! Me too !
Well, this video is on a box. That’s what I always wanted to do. Side note. Another channel I follow. 731 woodworks. He started with borrowed tools and made some lawn chairs. They sold. He was hooked and moved on from there. He got the bright idea to start on TH-cam. Took him awhile but he got his silver button. In about 7 years he has amazed 600,000 subscribers. He retired from his regular job and is doing TH-cam full time. He started in a lean-to shed type building and then managed to talk his wife into letting him have the two car garage built on the house. Keep at it brother. You got the knack of an awesome dude.
Thanks so much bro 😎
Loved your story of your life. You are a remarkable man and how you have grown is showing that we all can do better. Love watching your shows and trying to make some of your items. Thank you. X
Thanks so much ! This means a lot to hear this ! 😊
Absolutely love this video. Thank your son for all of us😊
😊
Love that box, Daniel! It's on the list now... Thanks for being genuine.
Thank you for posting your story. The box is incredible, I hope I can get my skills up to that level at some point. I have noticed that I feel completely at peace when I am in my garage working on a project. Tools are limited, but figuring out how to do something with pallet wood or whatever I have on hand is both stressful and relaxing at the same time. Thank you for your channel. It has become my favorite.
Hey thank you for the feedback , I’m glad to have you along for the journey my friend , you’re a rock star 💫
I'm glad you built this family
Me to brother Charles
So glad you listened to you boy
Mee tooo brother me tooo
@@Bearded-Viking-WoodWorks it's heartwarming to see that you and your son get along so well. My. Dad was never there and I'm sure your presence has more of an impact on him than you'll ever know. I'm a little jealous lol but it's such a beautiful thing.
Beautiful! Great job. I recently started watching your videos. I like the style. I believe we all can pick up certain tips. Kinda started my own business. I'm just letting it grow. I've always enjoyed woodworking. I'm almost 50 and finally found my happy place. Keep up the great work!
Ahh yes the happy place . Woodworking is it !! I’m thanks for the feedback . Skål 🫡
Enjoyed the commentary on this one very much. I personally liked learning a little background. Enjoy your channel and craft very much!
Thanks my friend ! That means a lot
Beautiful box and great storytelling.
Thanks brother
Hey buddy good to see another video. Hope you are doing well
Favourite combination is rum & raisin 😋
Oh, wait ...

Man, you brought tears to my eyes. What a great video! Thank you for sharing and inspiring me, this video resonated with me so much.

Purpleheart and white oak. I build my daughter a night stand and used the scraps to make a small mallet.... I love the colors!
Hell yeah love it !! Skål 🫡
I combat wounded soldier you walk about stress I was ready to end it then I got into woodworking it felled my life you could say woodworking in wheelchair saved my life
Amen brother ! God bless you and thank you for serving this great nation brother 🫡
I really appreciate you sharing your story with us. I'm from a small town in Southeastern, Kentucky. You seem a lot like the guys that I grew up with. I'm sure a lot of your viewers feel that as well. I once saw a smart guy on TV talking about the health benefits of having a career that you love. He said one of the most important things to look for is to find something that makes time stop for you. Woodworking certainly checks that box for me.
Amazing !🤩 you’re an absolute rock star my friend , thanks for the feedback
It's hard for me. I do have PTSD from the military, and I'm not whining about it, but some days are still hard to get out into the shop. I love woodworking and in a lot of ways it's therapy, but some days just suck. A few in the community know that about me and they are encouraging. I can say that the community has done more for me than woodworking has. A close tie, but the community wins. Being 100% honest, I didn't like BVW at first. I also have Asperger's and I just didn't get you Daniel. But, I kept watching videos and soon I began to understand and consider you a friend. Hopefully we'll meet one day, Brother. Always put a spin on it. God bless and keep rockin' on, Rock Star.
Hey Joey ! You’re an absolute rock star 💫 and your honesty is one of your best attributes! Skål 🫡 I know I can come across different , wierd , strange , aggressive, masculine, jokey, and much more but I’m glad you saw the genuine heart I put into this ! Means a lot
@@Bearded-Viking-WoodWorks You're welcome, Brother.
I just found your channel today and this was my first time watching one of your videos. Congratulations on all that you've accomplished man! You are a great influence to all. Thanks to your amazing son, you can share your talents with the world. Your attitude and honesty make your calming voice even more enjoyable to listen to. God bless you and your family and i pray you reach heights unfathomable to you and your son. Always be yourself and thank God everyday for everything
Peace brother Mike , you thank you so much for the great feedback , I’m truly humbled to have been as successful as I am in this YT journey and happy to now have you along for the ride . Skål 🫡
Daniel what a stunning box and amazing story. You quote in the video your lucky to have us members and subscribers NO WE are lucky to have you and the family you have created with all of us you have no idea how much this means to me and i think the rest of the crew you no who you are. You ask what woodworking does for us well for me passion head space (when am down) knowledge and most of all a family and band of brothers and sisters who may be all over the globe but true family ❤️👍🏴
Wow ! 🤩 well said my brother from across the pond ! Love ya bro ! Skål 🫡
@@Bearded-Viking-WoodWorks to easy to say Daniel you rock bro. Love ya. Ps get going live im getting withdrawals over here. 👍🏴
That box like all the boxes you build looks fantastic. Has a special character to it that makes it unique.
Thanks carol ‘ ps I haven’t forgot about you
@@Bearded-Viking-WoodWorkswell that’s good to know 🥰
I wanted to let you know how special your videos can be to some of us. Several years ago, I built a wooden train with my grandson. We made one car at a time whenever he came to visit. He was around 3 years old when we started. As we assembled them, he would always say, "A dab o' glue. A dab o' glue". You really put me in a teary eyed happy place this morning. Thank you and don't get a big head over your success. You're great already.
Wow 😢. This is the first comment that has sprung a tear from my face. To hear this humbled the heart . ❤️ time is precious and your grandson will never forget those memories. You’re a rock star 💫
When he has a nickname like the Bearded Viking I don’t think you have to worry about him getting a big head. 🎉 keep up the good fight, I’ve been into woodworking since childhood, I had a 4 story treehouse with a fireplace and bar by 8th grade. Every Xmas and birthday I would ask for one new tool and by my early 20’s I accumulated allot of tools, but instead of following my passion I succumbed to family and friends peer pressure for me to attend a 4 year college and obtain a degree and work in a shirt and tie every day in some office building. I like you Viking was very unhappy and saw no point of working to make corporations wealthy. I finally bought some equipment and started my own hardwood flooring business. It filled the void to be creating something and seeing the results of the fruits of my labor for a while but it lacked the true creativity and challenge I was craving. Covid gave me the opportunity to put floors on hold and just build my two car garage into a workshop and and perfect or tune up some of my rusty skillls with hand tools. I purchased a lathe and jumped headfirst into turning, next a welder and like the lathe I watched all the you tube tutorials I could get my hands on to weld at a reasonable rate. The only problem Mr. Viking is I lack social media skills and video editing and filming skills. I’ve done some amazing unique projects and my wife and kids are always telling me that I need to film the process and post it l, but my shyness on the camera and my thick Boston accent makes me feel like viewers would not enjoy my content. If you ever need an assistant and wouldn’t mind letting me intern and shadow your marketing skills I will work for free. I could probably only do it for a week or two as I have Two kids and a crazy little dog that’s like a 3rd child. But I’m desperate to make this happen, and any insight or wisdom you wouldn’t mind sharing with me would be more than greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for everything you do.
@@floormaestro9581 So, Vikings and/or people with beards don't ever get a "big head"?
Beautiful box. Great time for me to see this as I'm making a recipe box from spalded maple. My favorite wood combo is white oak and walnut. Thanks for showing this.
Hell yeah brother
I enjoyed the story of where you came from. How GOD lead you to where you are. Keep rolling. Be of good courage.😎
I also enjoyed the build.
Thanks brother that means alot
Simply beautiful 💙 Love the contrast of the walnut against the light maple. Thanks for sharing a little bit more of your story with us. I've said it before but I'll say it again You are an absolute inspiration and finding your channel and the incredible community you've brought together has saved my life, literally. God Bless You Daniel and the BVW Gang 😇 🔥💜🔥 Keep Shining ✨💎 BTW you could inscribe the inside lid with the xtool "You don't have to be great to start but you have to start to be Great"
You beat me to this kinda comment kat and the lid idea love it.
Wow ! Thanks so very very much Kat ! I think I’ll take you up on that idea for the lid !
I absolutely love your channel. I follow a ton of woodworking channels but only get notifications for yours and about 10 others. I haven't been keeping up with your live videos at all because of the lack of time; but I never miss any of your regular videos.
As far as selling out, I really have nothing against people taking sponsors and making some money. We all need to make a living. I actively block youtube ads, but I love the built in ads that you guys do. I even tried ag1 after seeing it on the bournon moth channel. I also have nothing against youtubers using higher end tools like the festool domino or the shaper origin. We'd all love to have one. You can't get mad when someone pays their dues and does the hard work and enjoys the perks of all that hard work.
Well said and I agree, people connect with people no matter what ! Happy that you’re enjoying the content brother ! That means a lot bro
That is the most fabulous box. I love the Art Deco style.
Super fun to build it too
Such a powerful message! Thank you for inspiring so many of us to get out there and do what makes us happy, as well as bringing us all together in this community.
It’s my absolute pleasure brother. Happy to have you along for the journey
Man that was an inspiration for me to see how you s tarted out and where you are now I want to start up my wood working journey but to be honest scared to death lol cause woodworking to me is a de-stress for me it like going into another world making something out of nothing so thank you for what you do and never stop
Hey bud , thanks for the comment , yes woodworking is my therapy and I’m very fortunate to be able to do it and enjoy it . And always remember , a year from now , you’ll wish you started today. 🫡
That was really cool of you to tell your story… I don’t think I’ve seen another woodworker do that… I enjoyed it, except the flood part 😬 I literally yelled “NOOOO!” I’ve just started my woodworking journey, I have more tools than most & am grateful… just figuring out how to do certain things, use the tools properly, safely… and of course to fullest potential. I found your channel a few months ago & subscribed immediately… been singin the glue song with you ever since 😂 I enjoy your work, advice, personality… all of it really. Now your story has inspired me to step it up a notch. So thank you for that!
😊 wow that really means a lot to hear , that what I have built the channel around , inspiring others. You my friend are an absolute rock star 💫 stay in touch and I’m happy you found the channel 😊
Brother, the box, like most of your boxes was unique and top shelf, you knocked it out of the park. As part of your new extended family which has helped us all become better woodworkers plus provide an almost nightly spot to come hang out together, where questions are asked and answered with no judgement. I thank you again for starting it all and keeping it going. Your channel is one of the best on the Tube, no bull, down to earth, woodworking.
This means so much hearing this brother , god bless and thank you 🙏
Yes it’s one of the top channels!
Great personal story. I too, love woodworking and find that it puts me in the "zone". It when I can get so focused working on a project that time floats on by. Keep on keeping on!
Indeed brother . Thank you so much . Skål 🫡
Awesome vid Daniel. Especially with the historical background which was a nice touch. Keep it up brother! You are doing great things and I am proud to be a member of this community.
So happy to have ya along for the journey brother , thanks so much
Incredible build!!! You are an inspiration to say the least!!! I’ve had a rough couple of weeks and I needed this video more than you know!!! I thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!
Hell yeah man. Happy to inspire brothef
Wow. That's awesome Daniel. I am also from SC. Probably 200 miles north of you in York county. Although I don't live there anymore. Tis good to see so many south carolinians on the tube!

Nice
Thank you 🙏
My God man. Beautiful…always. Love the voice over in this one. Also love seeing you grow and achieve your accomplishments. Woodworking has given me a reason to revisit something I enjoy. I have been looking for something, saw your videos, and thought “why not”. Thank you for helping me get back to finding something in my life I truly enjoy.
Hell yeah Brother Greg ‘ happy to be doing this , and happy to have you along for this journey
Outstanding box.. looks amazing. And like you I have searched the internet 4 Goodwood workers that I could relate to and I've only found a couple and you being one of them so you have a subscriber for life brother 🍻.. love the videos and I'm absolutely stuck on sawdust !

Great video! Awesome project! And wonderful story!!! I really like this video format. You still explain the build and tell the story during the other parts. You have truly built a wonderful community which I am glad to be a part of. Keep up the good work brother!!!!
So glad you enjoyed it bro ! You’re an inspiration to me , more than you may think brother. So happy to have you along for the journey
I loved to hear your story that was told so perfectly ! You are an inspiration and your family can be proud of you. Im in England and in a much smaller way than you regarding woodworking but you help me so much giving me ideas and i wish you all the success in the future ! Keep on rocking !
Thanks so much my friend ! That means a lot. Skål 🫡
Wonderful video! Thank you. And what a beautiful box, yet again!! I’ve really just begun my woodworking journey, but in the little time I’ve done it, I’ve also found a lot of happiness (even after the algorithm of subtracting the frustrating moments).
😂 indeed , thank you
I started as a carpenters helper when I was a loser in my early 20s. Became a lead on crews for 15 years before we had our 2nd child. Had to take a low paying factory job, but still took carpentry jobs on the side. Flash forward 30 years and I retired as an engineer. I tooled up before retirement to do just the kind of projects you video! So thank you for these awesome videos! As for content creation, would you think it's a good idea to make a "how to", video on creation and publication? You know, for us old folks. lolol Cheers brother!
lol , well I do have some videos on how I got started on YT and the steps I took to get over 124,000 subs in under 10 months , not sure if you’ve seen it as i think it is a members only video but I’ll check and see and if it’s members only I’ll switch it to public and send link to video here

Love the box, love the inspiring story. Keep it up!
If you put your adhesive sand paper on a piece of 1/8” or 1/4” plywood, you will always have a reclaimed sanding flat. Reusable until it is time to put new adhesive sand paper on the backside of sanding flat.
You could also put different grit paper on both sides. No waste. 👍👍👍
Sweet thanks for the tip 🫡
Every time I watch a video you have a different type wood, pretty cool.
😂 I have a stock pile from scraping cabinet shops scrap pile and saving up from past projects , can’t let it go to waste. Thx for tuning in bro
I have spent a lot of time working in Charleston and Mt Pleasant seaport terminals. I love the area and pulled pork at Besengers.
Love it here brother
Woodworking gives me peace of mind and pride in accomplishment in making things people like. It's not a job.
Damn strait !
Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure
Beautiful work bro
Thanks bro
Great video.
Love your channel bro'. At first, when I crossed your channel I thought you were a little out there but I enjoyed your builds so I came back again then again. You're definitely not your normal dude but hey man, that's what I like aboutcha. I mean why be normal when it's so much more fun coloring outside the box.
Hang in there and keep the builds going.

I remember that flood, it hurt my heart to see that happen. My shop is in my basement and I have to walk around in puddles since the northeast is turning into a rain Forrest apparently
Thanks brother. Stay dry 😆.
My friend, you never fail to amaze me. I just received my iPhone tripod and will be recording trial/sample videos tomorrow... let's see how bad I am. the editing will be my downfall. But i shall overcome. Thank you, Danail.
You got this brother. I can’t wait to see what you have in store
Daniel your leading a charge that is inspiration driven and all the people not only growing in their woodworking skills. They are now venturing into TH-cam to create a wave weary travelers on the road to self discovery 🫡

Thank you
Btw
The best thing you could have ever done was to let us experience your property getting destroyed by Mother Nature. I think it brought us closer to you and closer with others. We all felt the same thing. It was traumatizing to everyone to watch you and yours suffer like you did
I’m super proud what you have made out od such awful circumstances! Keep rocking it!

🤣 wow , coincidence ? lol. Do y’all call it Mt.P too in Michingan
I have a really thick piece of tempered glass that I glued sanding belts to for sanding the lid and box. It's 2x3 feet and 1/2" thick.

Ive built house s for over 39 years doing everything fromnthe ground up had my own business only had my son once in a while whene he wasn't working helping me. I finally had enough of working 17 hours a day and stated building tiny homee on wheel about 10 years ago also doing my wood working business i am now on my last tiny house build doing my own i have multiple clients wanting a tiny house but i have had enough of building the only builds im doing from now on are my own builds. Just want to do my wood working business again and thats what im doing in between doing my own tiny house build and running my homestead. Every one I knoe also says start a xou tube channel and teach people your knowledge. Im like im good no thanks. Wood working is so much more relaxing tgen dealing with clients 7 days a week.
🤣 ain’t that the truth. Thanks for the feedback my friend
@Bearded-Viking-WoodWorks yeah dealing with clients is a headache not like it used to be when I first started building years ago. I used to enjoy it. I was the last one I knew that quit building stick build homes. Every one I knew that also did it quit years before I did they all said I can't believe you went longer than we did. They said we had enough years ago. Believe me I did to bit I was hanging one thinking something would change.
You take good care and enjoy your passion. I got an hour in today with a build I'm working on before I had to quit and take care of the animals. Usually I have more time today was not one of those days.
