3:27 I did buy the assembled version, the clamp-u-pine holder, the French cleat anything and some of those 4’ French cleats at Black Friday sale! All phenomenal products! I am not opposed to cutting my own French cleat rails, but wanted to buy them from you to help a brother and his family out! And no it’s not awkward to say you love us Chris! Have a great weekend and keep grinding!
I have been following your channel for a long time. Even went back and watched older videos when you still worked at grocery store if memory serves me right. I think it is awesome that you took the plunge into your business. I remember your wife had medical issues (my wife has similar health issues). God has bless you in your life for putting your family in a high priority in your life. Your an amazing human being. I'll continue praying for you. And may God continue to bless you!
DUDE! How have you not come up with a router table for us?! Flat pack. Half inch ply. Acrylic plate(s). Just do it man. I'll buy the first one! Luv ya bro and I appreciate all you do.
Just popped up in my feed. Haven’t see a video there in a while, but know that’s the algorithm doing its thing. Glad it showed me this today. In for an upside down sander! Just ordered. Thank you!
I just ordered your upside-down sander mount, and am looking forward to receiving it. I happen to have an orbital sander I can dedicate to it. Also, I appreciate the discount. I pray that all is well with your family. Take care and enjoy a blessed year.
I'm glad your business is doing well! Everything I have bought from you has been top-notch! Tell your children thanks for the artwork on the order form; it is fun trying to figure out what they drew. I really like the upside down sander holder. I combined two good ideas and put a french cleat on it so I can hang it up out of the way. I added spacer blocks to the wide part of the base so that it sits flat on my bench. It works great with my angle grinder too.
Grateful 731 shared your sander mount on one of his livestreams a few years back. Hearing you tell your story in person at Workbench sold me on why. The mount has been a great addition to the shop
Just wanted to say the positivity you put out when you speak about your work and your family is amazing. And i promise as soon as i can get some extra money i will start to buy your items 100%
Chris you are my most favorite channel on TH-cam you are such an amazing guy so down to earth sharing your family with us all and you make such amazing stuff I have been so impressed with everything I have bought from you and I’m hoping in the very near future we are moving and I’m hoping to have a new workshop and as soon as I get to that point I will be buying all my French cleat wall stuff from you my friend. Thanks you for what you do. Keep up the amazing work. God Bless you and your family
This is exactly what I need. I teach ww’ing to MS students and we have zero shop space. I have to bring in all the tools and make do in the science lab. Sanding is always a chore but this might make life a little easier for them.
There have been many high points that I have seen in your journey. When you put your money into the steel building and the driveway that was when I considered that you had made the all-in commitment. I still to this day enjoy seeing the marine plywood that you were able to get on the cheap.
Thank you so much, Brent. Means a lot that you appreciate the risk taking. And guess what? I actually still have one 4 x 8‘ sheet of that marine plywood that I’m just holding onto for I don’t even know when.
Im just another dude with a laser that makes things out of wood and acrylic. I don’t see you as any kind of competition, I see you as a kindred soul. A brother. Craftsmen of the world unite!!!
Chris, I think that you made the right decision when it came down to doing the video about your sander holder being basically ripped off by you know who. At the time of your video being aired I recall actually saying to myself that you had done yourself the biggest and probably the best thing by making a video about it and uploading it to your channel as I thought that because of what you did and said in that video I just knew that people would get behind you and your own product. I'm really happy for you regarding the fact that this other company who shall rename nameless didn't even dent your product turnover and if anything they would have actually lost sales because of their actions of basically ripping off your design and desire to provide for your family. As for the 10k table build saga brother I think I already know the answer to that one and if I'm correct then that's what I call poetic justice 🤔🤭. As always brother 💯% 👍 🇬🇧. Hope your wife is doing better and that the kids are all good 🙏🙂.
great story 👏 just to let you know that the sound cuts off for me at 4'15" (i refreshed the page several times and tried a different browser with the same effect)
I made something similar last year for my rectangular Craftsman Orbital Sander that must be over 30 years old and still working. Not as fancy as yours but it worked. Suggestion: Market yours as "Not Your Pecker"? Not sure if you'd get a nasty letter from Woodpecker, but it'd be worth another video if you did!!!
I love hearing about how well you are doing by staying home with your family. Couldn’t happen to better family man, I am very happy for you! Quick question, do you know if any of your customers have used your upside down sander mount for a Flex 24 Volt sander? Thanks, I appreciate it! I hope you are able to kick back tomorrow with your favorite beverage and watch the big games! Personally, I’m going for Washington. I’ve been a fan of theirs my whole life. The very first game I remember watching was Super Bowl 17. That’s when the Skins beat Miami. I was 3. 😁
I got one a few months ago, haven't used it yet...still setting up my shop (making progress!), but I paused the video half way in to go out and open the box to take another look at it. Found a couple "easter eggs" in the box....nice touch. ;-) I'm working on my workbench now and was sanding the legs the other day...just hit me that I should have broke this thing out! Haha! Man, thanks for all you do, lover your vids and glad we can support each other. People making things other people need...that's what it's about! Woodpeckers stuff is sexy and I have a few items, but I won't be buying this one from them.
Awesome. Thank you so much for this. I appreciate the kind words and the support and I hope all is well in your neck of the woods. Really awesome thanks again.
Hey Chris! Hope all is well in the snowy 904! So glad you’ve found some viable options for your materials - I remember you were kind of sweatin there for a little while when the BB was becoming harder to find. With everything you’ve got going on, do you still have time for any traditional, non-CNC projects? I know putting food on the table has to take priority, was just curious about whether you ever had any free time and what you did with it. OPHS Class of ‘87!!
As always man good to hear from you. The free time I spend away from the businesses with the children. I used to play golf and drums and all kinds of good stuff. But not anymore. Maybe again one day but for now the shop time is strictly Work related in the occasional off project for a few local clients who come by and I do one off.
I would love the ability to buy the plans and cut files for it since ordering it to Europe is not possible since the shipping would be more then the actuall product.
@@Dragonited aglimpseinside.org/collections/digital-files-plans Understandable. I actually have those available. Check this out. Thanks for the interest.
I would love to try this plywood but the store here in Dallas (per your link) only sells to professionals...I'm a do-it-yourselfer. It's a shame, because I'm ready to build a closet system and their product look like it would be a good fit. By the way, love you products and videos!
Man, that’s a shame Gary. Sorry to hear that about the situation in Dallas. Really want to change that with them somehow. We’ve actually talked about that exact scenario and how it really does hurt.
Simply Demonstrate that YOUR Version is Modifiable BY the wood worker. Wood pecker's Version is Great Provided that your work shop has a Metal shop as well. Let people realize that THEY can take control of their own progress, that Wood pecker is just waiting to sell people the next and then the next next Metal versions of the design.
First time watching your channel. Great little product for the small hobby shop I'm planning. At 4:15, you have an edit. At that point, your audio setting changed. Before, it streamed to both my hearing aids, after it went only to one. I doubt you can change it for this video, but could you check whether you changed settings in your filming or editing at 4:15 and keep the audio settings before?
Of course I recognize those days after filming. The lav receiver disconnected without me, knowing. So camera audio was picked up from the camera itself. I wasn’t going to bring attention to this because I knew somebody would lol
I don't have a Ryobi sander, but I do have a cordless Ryobi angle grinder. It fits nicely in the sander mount. I thought I would be able to leave the switch ON and then install and remove the battery to control the tool. Ryobi has a safety feature that the tool will not start when you plug the battery into the tool, even if the switch is ON. I still must actuator the switch to start the grinder. You might see if that is the same for your sander.
Hey man, hope you get to do this for the rest of your life, how's the little munchkin doing? Still helping out in the shop? Greetz from the Netherlands!
@@toddtangen6750 yeah their national warehouse is in Savannah pretty close to me so I’m getting it from them directly. But isn’t that the way the world is if you were really good quality stuff it comes with the price. My opinion totally worth it.
I would love to buy some of your products, but delivery is prohibitive. I live in Western Australia, Australia. I love your videos and what you are doing, too, stay home with your wife and kids. God bless you. Fr Brett Guthrie.
