Thank you, be safe, and be grateful.
I’m just here for the... whatever you wanna tell me. I’ve never been disappointed with the content on this channel.
Same here.
exactly this, no matter what the subject is, he knows his job well and know how to talk about it. every minute of all of his videos are pleasure to watch.
Can’t wait
So much this.
I've learned a tremendous amount watching these videos. I too am in for whatever ride you take us on.
This channel really makes me miss my dad. I’m glad you and your son get to share this experience along with Nates children. They will look back on these memories for the rest of their lives with joy. Thanks for the great content.
Listen brother, not only are your subscribers gonna stick with you thru the build, but I know we're all excited to see this thing happen. And I guarantee you will gain many more. Thanks for all you do, you are one of the best!
I think I speak for most of us when I say I don't care what you are doing, as long as you upload I'll watch. You could do a video about sewing and I'd still watch.
I just realized the most valuable aspect of this channel is your son now has a video legacy of his Dad doing what he loves! My son works with me on my business projects but we've yet to start filming. I wish you success with the Spring 2019 groundbreaking! I'll certainly be tuned in.
First footage of Nate on camera talking! A big day for this channel!
Hey! Nate in _front_ of the camera? What trickery is this?
This Channel makes me so happy. I lost my Dad several years ago, he was a carpenter/builder. I spent many school holiday in my younger years on a work site (something today's regulations don't allow). I never really got what he did in detail, what he needed to know to do his Job. I always wanted to. And i'm sure getting that information from this... Thanks you so Much.
I think we could all benefit from the community of knowledge we have here. I bet many of us would be interested in hearing what the 14 suggestions were, how the plans have changed based on those suggestions, and why you decided to make each change.
Yes I agree, would be interested to know abut the changes in detail. Thanks.
@@essentialcraftsman 👍
You've said this a dozen times, and I just want to repeat the sentiment. You aren't just making this for us loyal returning watchers, you are making this series for the viewers that come across this series years from now. The instant gratification side of me wants to watch all of those videos right now today. But the craftsman in me wants these videos to be done right so that they can last forever. Square, Plumb, and True.
I’m currently enrolled in a construction engineering program. I have to say, watching these videos has definitely helped with the learning curve. Im exciting to see what’s next!
Your editing, from shot selection to musical interludes, is amazing. I'm not sure if there's a TH-cam award for something along those lines but you deserve a nomination.
I am ready for it to roll, will not miss a single video. I hope to build my first house later next year down here in Florida. You guys are a blessing to a lot of folks. Thank you, and everyone that is contributing to make this possible.
I don't do blacksmithing, and I don't build houses, so I don't watch your channel so I can apply your techniques to my hobbies. I love your channel because of the way you approach problems and tell a story while you're doing it. I'm excited to see every one of your videos, regardless of the topic.
👍👍 I'm here for everything 😊
I'll second that! I have subscribed to nearly 200 channels this is one of only 3 that I watch every single video. It's the only one where every single video actually captivates my interest.
South Caldwell High School Construction students can't wait for you to start, here in sunny Hudson, NC. Thank You
Very cool yall watch EC and have construction classes available. I graduated in 2012, and there were no construction/carpentry classes in any of the schools around where I live in NC
Scott and Nate: We love you guys and ALL you do and we not only watch, we pray for your insight, safety, and success. God bless you all!
Welcome to the party Nate! :)
Scott, I guess the "downside" of having to wait through the winter is that you may have to be holed up in the shop, doing a lot of blacksmithing? Right?
Get loads of blacksmithing videos in the can and have them ready to go. Then drop them slowly amongst all the spec house ones over spring/summer and keep everyone happy? Saying that, I could watch paint dry on this channel and EC would make it interesting, so I wouldn't really worry if there weren't any blacksmithing ones for 9 months... hell, there haven't been any spec house ones for that long anyway and the subs count is still rising :)
I'm going to become a channel patron. You have been at this longer than I have, yet you are openly willingly to admit if you ever make a mistake and to listen to ideas from other people that you don't personally know. The information that you wish to share is very important for those that have never attempted such a project. You have my utmost respect and backing. I wish that I would have had someone like you to work for/with 30 years ago.
Cannot tell you how much I appreciate that you guys are doing this house build series. I also enjoy the blacksmithing videos, but the house build is appreciated especially.
Craftsmanship is a universal subject that spans multiple trades and hobbies. I think you will find that most of us are here for the craftsmanship/passion that you put into your work, whatever you do.
Guys, it is my honor to say I have been a follower from the very beginning and fully intend to be here till the very end! Just by watching and applying the content to different aspects of my life I have become a better man, and better contractor. From the slightest, most elemental tricks that have came to you through hard work and determination, down to the simplest word phrase that makes a man want to strive to be better. Thank you for taking the time out of your life, to use the wisdom you have obtained to help shape and mold those of us who are willing to learn! May god bless you guys and all of your family and I can't wait to see what's around the corner!
Craftsmanship is craftsmanship whether it's construction or blacksmithing how you approach a job is the same. Really appreciate all you do, keep up the great work.
I know I will watch every video and share with family and friends because the wealth of knowledge you have Scott is a pleasure to absorb and learn from.
I came here for blacksmithing. I believe I've watched every video since then because of excellent content and videography.
This channel is one of maybe 3 on TH-cam I actually watch every video, even when it's something I consider basic. inevitably I learn at least one new thing on topics I consider myself competent at.
Keep up the great work!
OF COURSE what you do is valuable to us. Please, please, keep it coming. I'm very much looking forward to watching the spec house come together.
This is my favorite channel to watch on TH-cam! Thank you for posting great content and being awesome!
“Besides the fact I’m 60” cracked me up so much I had to play it for my wife. As a 65 year old builder/remodeler who retired 6 weeks ago, with arthritis in my hands and cataracts in my eyes, man, could I relate. As a higher end builder the last 30+ years, we’ve used a lot of iron speakeasy grates at front doors, real shutters with real shutter hinges and dogs, inset iron scroll work on interior full view pocket doors. Somehow, I think you’ll find a way to incorporate lots of smithing into the home. And it’s great to see Nate take a more active role in Essential Craftsman! Good luck with the build. I’m looking forward to it!
Don’t you worry. We will all watch every minute of every video that you put up even if it is not the content that would normally attract people. You and your son are a wealth of knowledge and I have learnt so much already about many different things. Keep the videos coming 👍🏼
I’m so hyped about the spec house build!! I love framing and forming , but that type of work has slowed down right now, so it’s the season for finished carpentry, happy I can see EC’s skill out on display!
Lol don’t mind my username, I made the account in high school 😂
I'm an Engineer in Manchester, UK can't wait to continue the Spec House series. Thoroughly enjoy watching them and have learnt lots.
I follow the channel for all of your content, not just black smithing. It is always good to me to hear and watch an honest craftsman and his experiences. You are a wealth of knowledge and don't mind sharing it. Thanks for everything you share.
so glad y'all are taking your time and being intentional with your planning- as everyone should be when building a home.
Yeah!!! Very happy there is a light at the end of the tunnel for the Craftsman house project.
Go,Go,Go!!!
Great to meet Nate, a chip off the old block ! Looking forward to the adventure 😃👍👏👏👏
It's Alive.... the spec house lives! Great news on the content the spec house will generate. How excited you must be to have your son along for the journey. As a 54 yr old tradesman who hired my daughter last year I think I can relate to the emotions this project must stir. I've been a subscriber since early on and look forward to each video you release. The wisdom you share shows you are blessed with a great heritage, and I love that you are sharing is with us all and spreading the word that ethics coupled with hard work has a great payoff and is not some antiquated and arduous lifestyle. It a way to build and pass down a legacy to those who follow. The trades need strong voices to teach that hard work isn't a curse or fate that awaits the unfortunate and ill-equipped. Thanks for adding your voice to those teaching valued life skills and knowledge.
This is by far the most interesting and well explained construction series I’ve seen on TH-cam.
Post whatever you're doing, whatever youre working on.
You're an amazing teacher, we can always learn something!
And yes, I'm looking out for an anvil!
Scott, how you teach and explain the task at hand makes your videos so interesting! It wouldn't matter if it was instructions on how you laced your boots up. Thank you for your attention to the details.
Honestly, I don't care too much what you do. I'm just happy to watch and listen. Thank you for all you post!
Just want to let you know that people are eagerly engaged in this tutorial endeavor.
You are the captain of this adventure and please don’t ever second guess yourself in the future.
We are on board sir..and curdos!
Nate, you're great on camera. Excited to see more of the two of you working together.
I and my 8 and 5 year old boys will be watching. Hope they take up the trade/craft. Glad to find this channel for teaching them pride and value of doing all things correctly.
Thank you guys for doing your videos the way you do. I was a patron supporter but unfortunately have fallen on hard times. I'm just glad I am still able to watch your content.
I came across this channel researching ways to fix my anvil. That said I enjoy blacksmithing, but I also enjoy the information passed to us here. You explain it in a manner that is easily understood. And you are humble with your knowledge. And I thank you for that. One of my favorite sayings is if you want to learn something new read an old book. I think no matter the content of this channel no matter the book you teach us from I will enjoy and continue to use in my life and pass on my self where I can. I look forward to the build. Thank you for taking your time to pass on your knowledge to us!
Stay true to yourselves and the style you have developed for your channel and people will support you. I don’t think you have anything to worry about. You guys do great work.
I started watching for the blacksmith content but not only have I learned so much about construction and the skills needed but have enjoyed all your videos thoroughly. Keep up the great work and remember 60 is but a number young man.
I've said it before and I'll say it again numerous times: best channel on TH-cam. Great to see Nate in front of the camera and I'm excited to see Spring come with all these videos in tow!
Coast Guard vet here. Just got out of the service in April, turning 30 soon, and am breaking back into the carpentry field. Can't wait for the new videos about the house build. I'm learning a lot about the trade from your channel. Thank you!
Looking forward to this weekend!
It’s nice to see Nate in front of the camera! The father son duo really works in this format. Looking forward to more spec house contact!
Hi guys, I've Ben watching you for about a year. Love all of what you do. No complaints here, keep it up!
Looking forward to the ~300 spec house videos,
thank you and the patreons! 👍
I can "Guarantee and I'm Positive" that I'm not alone in saying ... What ever guys decide to share with us will be well thought out, informative as well as a pleasure to watch... Be well
my grandfather built houses up to age 80,walking 2x4 plates in his 70s,,,love your show keep up the great work
Greetings from Germany. I love to watch your videos and to see how a real professional does it. Just keep on filming, no matter how the weather might get. A video from you with drops all over the lense is way much better than no video.
I'm not picky about the types of videos, I enjoy your insight on any subject regarding craftsmanship.
Nate and Scott,
The blacksmithing is fun to watch, but the house is teaching me thing that are going to change my life. Thank you so very much for this series. My dream is to build a house in my country (Canada) to my own family's needs. I'll never reach your level (it's not my place in life to pour concrete I think) but I'm learning so much to help me hire those who will do the job right.
This series is making the world a better place, and you all should be extremely proud of what you've created. Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart.
From a new developer in Southern Oregon...Thank You! I really enjoy your videos and appreciate how clearly you communicate.
this is BAD ASS...this is what the you tube is all about. please don't stop.This is sooo well done. I have watched every episode of what you do. top ten had me in tears. hang in there Nate...it gets easier once you get used to looking at yourself. If you remember "this old house" it was ground breaking for TV. I could claim it was one of the first "reality" shows. Essential is that and everything it tried to be. THANK YOU for all the info. God Bless. tk
I've got no problem being patient for your videos, since I know the quality is consistently excellent.
Looking forward to it. Good to see Nate on this side of the camera, don't sweat it you did just fine!
Best wishes to you and your family; as you prep this winter, as you continue the spec build, and for whatever else you encounter along the way.
Whatever you post I’ll watch I’m not even into blacksmithing but watching you do it is still entertaining a true craftsman
Thanks from the bottom of my heart fellas. I'm really looking forward to the spring now.
So incredibly excited for this series. Probably the number 1 thing I want to watch next year.
You mentioned a lot of people came for the blacksmithing, well I am here for the construction and carpentry. Can't wait to see this get started!
Dan and son--that's great! We'll watch all the episodes as soon as each one comes out.
Look forward to see the project take. The diversity of the content on this channel is just one reason to keep following. Thank you Both for the high quality content. It is always very much appreciated.
Hey guys, I believe that a year from now you'll be looking back at this project and saying, I don't know why I was worried and losing sleep over it, it all turned out great ! 👌 AND IT WILL ! 😊
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍 👍
I can not wait to see this house being built. The things I have learned from you have been so valuable. Thank you for what you do.
Like how some of the other commenters have said it doesn't matter if it's blacksmithing building a house or the letter opening videos I will still watch your videos and definitely will enjoy them
I'm excited about the project. Look forward to Spring. Stay warm boys.
I watch whatever content you put out. As far as construction I watch a lot of this old house and bob vilas home again series. It's satisfying watching a house be build from the ground up.
Good things are worth the wait. I'm sure everyone who's subbed will appreciate your efforts.
I watch every minute of every video. They are totally aligned with my retirement activities. Please keep with the excellent informative format'
I will keep watching, no matter what you post. I enjoy everything that you put on to TH-cam.
Thanks
I'm 50 years old and have been a carpenter for 32 years, operating my own business for the last 26 years. I'm addicted to all things woodworking, carpentry, and construction. And, I really looking forward to following the rest of the spec house build.
It is nice to see Nate in a video. I enjoy all the videos you make. It is fine with me to have lots of spec house videos and more blacksmithing videos at a later time.
Thank you!
I searched for an answer to a specific question I had about construction when I first came across this channel and the construction and carpentry content kept me watching.
The spec house turned me into a patreon supporter of the channel.
But I've started to like the blacksmith videos and everything with Cy even more so. I'm sometimes even thinking about where I could find an anvil of my own.
So just keep on doing what you are doing and I'll keep watching.
I just started in construction recently and I can't tell you how much your videos have helped me, and saved me on a few occasions. I'm really excited to continue following the house building journey and wish you the best of luck with the project!
I second that, I have never had an interest in building homes but I enjoy watching all your videos. Keep it up
I took the survey and i said i wanted more blacksmithing. But i love the house too. I'm in. Do your thing.
I had a thought when I first saw this channel that I wish I could see him build a house or even work with him building a house. It was just a few months later I saw the announcement of the "Spec House". I do truly mean this is a dream come true. I'm excited!
I found this channel about a week ago and it has quickly become one of the best channels I've come across on TH-cam! You guys are awesome and I appreciate how much effort you put into the videos. I've learned so much already from yall and I'm grateful for the information. Thank you for the awesome channel! 👍😁🙏
I love watching all your videos , anyone should understand quality work takes time , keep doing what your doing
Hello Scott and Nate, I absolutely love all the videos on your channel. hard to believe that it has been a year and a half already since you began the process of the Spec House build. As a contractor myself, I really appreciate the time you take to explain things others that are following your channel, and for the quality in the work that you do. keep up the great work my friend.
You produce some of the most compelling internet video, I am really looking forward to this build.
For me personally... it doesn't matter how long or if the spec house happens. Ill be here loving every minute of your videos and giving the thumbs up every time
I appreciate all of you're content! I'm a draftsman for larger residential structures, so this is right up my alley. I enjoy seeing what you do differently in single residential dwellings!
Thank you Scott and Nate. I'm looking forward to your build series in the Spring.
Awesome stuff guys, really appreciate your channel. I hope when those snags come while building the house you're not shy about making videos of that too. I think that might be the most valuable information. Keep up the good work!!!
The masses will follow you. This is quality and fulfilling
Bad access, good laborer.
Keep up the great work, happy to be a part of the EC family!
Really like the way the garage is slightly angled-off 30-40 degrees from the main house; nice touch.
As an introvert myself, I feel Nate's pain about being in front of the camera. He doesn't need to worry though, he does great and some day he will be just like his old man. You guys are great, and you blow programs like This Old House out of the water. Keep doing exactly what you are doing. We will be watching.
As a guy who tends to put off the blacksmithing videos but will take a break at work to watch the construction stuff I'm looking forward to spring.
Can't wait for spring. For 2 reasons now. I'm no fan of PA snow storms and now to watch you guys build a house from the ground up!
Just got off work and immediately hit play on this video. I work on a crew with the Kentucky State Parks, and we’ve just been given the go ahead to clean out and repair one of the oldest buildings on our home park (Total roof collapse in one section, several cracked/ rotted rafters overhead throughout the rest of the building). I look forward to seeing the content you all put out and finding bits of information that comes in handy on the job site. Thank you both and God bless.
I've been in Taiwan for years now teaching English and recently I've started up into furniture making. I can't say your videos necessarily teach me technique. I dont plan on building a house any time soon. What I get from your videos is not how to make things, but how to think about making things. Too me, that knowledge is invaluable. Thank you for sharing with everyone.
Good to Meet ya Nate! Look forward to seeing you more!
