Only sponsor spot i never skipped forward for

[@tonyacosta529]

I watch tons of TH-cam videos and never make a comment, but I will make an exception to your page. I found you several months ago and I truly look forward to your new videos. Everyone is very informative and entertaining. I love your format and how it feels like you are talking to us. Keep up the good work and I'll be looking forward to the next one.

[@jeffhaviland9896]

I really appreciate it when you show your "Brain Farts" (mistakes)! I am a longtime hobbyist and recovering shop teacher. I make a ton of mistakes and it frustrates me, kind of like I am the only woodworker who makes mistakes. Your honesty really helps my attitude when I am in the shop. There are a few TH-camrs who honestly show reality. Keep up the amazing work.

I'm particularly partial to the bridle joint and have used it almost exclusively for more than 40 years. Thousands of doors from small boxes to cabinet doors to oversized entry doors.

[@ChristianJ526]

hi Ed, your one of my favorite Woodworker. Being an non native speaker and only an hobby woodworker your mixture of craftsmanship, design and comments on live in general combined with your clear articulation makes your videos a joy to watch. Best greetings from Germany Christian

Great video - love starting Saturdays off with coffee and an ENCurtis video!

[@petercorney3125]

The milling music 👌🏼

[@AABlindSquirrel]

You skipped right over the mitered mortise and tenon joint! By far my favorite joint for jewelry box lids.

[@lmcori]

Great video. This is an excellent level-up tutorial on panel frame construction. Also, love that you include the mistakes and fixes. Unrelated, the podcast is fantastic. As an aspiring maker, I’ve appreciated the perspectives on how we grow and evolve in the craft. Thank you for the effort in creating awesome content!

Wood workers of America, now that brings back memories from years ago and I am still a member. They do come up with new content and it goes well with a time of coffee and zoning out, then there is the makers mob with a good selection guys.

I built our screen door with half-laps and dowels. It’s a HUGE 1970’s custom door. So, I had to make it myself. Unless, we wanted to pay a few hundred dollars. Used 1/2 redwood. That door is used and abused all day being a back door! SLAM SLAM SLAM! Still holding together after four years. 😊

[@wouterengels7769]

It's a thing of beauty that panel! Adding it to my every growing to-build list.

[@karl_alan]

Love the half-lap-mitre joint. Used it on a picture frame recently & it looks great with finish on it.

[@johngalanes5264]

Love the look of that "flush" panel. Thanks for showing it!

[@twandieltjes1359]

Beautiful technik and explained!

[@southernjoes8372]

Excellent work. Great job of explaining the techniques and processes

[@40jwthomas]

Those reveals on the panels are stunning. I can’t wait to incorporate this ❤️

[@jimmcnett]

Look so good.
