I have followed this amazing man and craftsman on TH-cam since I was in the ICU in 2011, and have had the ultimate pleasure of actually meeting him this past year not once, but twice and he has not only been an inspiration to me but also to my boys as well! Jimmy, you know we love you and are so glad to know you and can’t wait till the spring classes are put up so I can hopefully get my wife and I a spot in your classroom to learn and be inspired even further! Thanks for these past 10 years and all you do for the Maker community!! Much Respect my friend!

'you'll figure it out'. Your father set the tone for your thinking and your approach to anything in life. Dive in and just do it. Such an admirable quality Jimmy.

[@RaysGarage]

Great interview! I had the pleasure of meeting Jimmy at last years Bar Z Summer Bash, he is a awesome guy to hang out with to say the least!

Sukses selalu bang jimmy

[@markbonham3477]

I'll probably never get to meet Jimmy but I love him like a brother for his integrity, skill sets and his personality. My brothers (the 4 youngest) had to create our own business during the 1975 recession and we have went on to become quite the skilled contractors from general, plumbing and electrical and many more. Jimmy would fit in just fine in our clan! Love you bro and keep up the great videos!

[@diymatt]

I met him once briefly at NYCNC. He is very humble and gracious with his time. So much so he was trying to take a pee for like 2 hours but kept getting stopped by people to chat.

[@firemamba8196]

Lol...that’s Jimmy!

[@JoelsVideoJunk]

Jimmy my Kids love your Netflix series. I have been making stuff for years but what you are doing on Netflix is about the best thing on my family TV. Keep up the great work!

[@bobg9873]

What sign shops did you work at? I worked at Vic Kessler's in Flushing a few Summers in late 70s.

[@prodesign8189]

Love and peace and Happy New Year Jimmy. My Tormach has done me good the last few years. I have clients keeping me constantly busy now. I love your creativity and spirit as you are a huge inspiration as well as John Saunders too. Who knew I'd be this close to retiring from the cubicle job and moving on to growing my business. Have a great 2020!

[@woowaptibam5253]

This guy has some many different skills. You could tell him to make you literally anything within reason and he will make it if not from scratch damn near. It's amazing

[@bcbloc02]

A lot of depth to a man like Jimmy. :-)

[@TeamStevers]

No way, I had that My Pet Monster with the handcuffs!

[@kuki7500]

I met this guy some years ago in his old workshop and I met a not at all cute, unpleasant, distant person, totally different from what you see in his videos

[@dennis-s]

''Interest in tools'' that's what's really gives you the start making things

[@vikitheviki]

My dad told me to stay the fuck away from his tools or he beat the shit out of me..

[@ovnox]

I can’t wait to hear and see part two!... up next... lol

[@lisacloe]

[@octobass9072]

[@LetItLie]

Jay from red letter media brought them up at one point, they had a movie based on them! what a small world

[@greyishgreblum]

Saw dust has already been invented.

[@ecalzo]

[@rockypergin2216]

Dads can be so influential

[@markbonham3477]

Your one of kind Jimmy!

[@firemamba8196]

He definitely is!

[@HappyHands.]

Didn't you also do some TV production? or was that your brother?

[@pileofstuff]

The 2 of them had a couple of shows together.

[@bmacier]
