    Only 250k of subscribers? That’s a shock only because I think your woodworking video’s are some of the best. I truly enjoy your articulate breakdown of your projects. They are respectfully to the point and enjoyable.

    Love it. Keep going. Way to respectfully appreciate where you came from and where you want to go. You're videos mean a lot more than the money you make; you got to get that to live but it also results in a lot of non-quantifiable benefits to all of us out here watching you.

    I agree, curiosity has got me into some unique trades. I started construction when I was 11. I owned my own construction company when I was 14. I had a second business when I was 15. A towing and recovery company. When I was 23 I stopped working for myself and started hazmat and restoration. I went to college for computer programming and web design when I was 26. I learned metal fabrication, ammunition feed systems and armor fabrication when I was 35. I still do hazmat. I made a lot of money from the Minnesota riots and COVID. That's my job. I had the Mall of America all to myself during covid. Like a zombie apocalypse movie. Ghost town. Stay Frosty 🙏

    @Phil_mycuplord หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    this resonates to my core. I'm an engineering manager who ended up opening an insurance agency after a company acquisition six months before the pandemic hit. Working for a company that has just been soul crushing after originally thinking that corp America was the devil and just solidifying that the general public barely knows how to breathe and most are as self centered as a two year old, I decided after 5 years that I liked creating things and I wanted to start cutting wood. So now I have a cobbled together just sad workshop in my basement where I try to balance the peace with the swearing at cheap tools. Side hustle work isn't going to pay the bills and planters aren't a 24/7 business. The question is, do you have to go social media style to actually earn a living or how do you actually progress into a viable wood working biz. I'm presuming the youtube sponsors or however that works is that only thing that is keeping the dream alive for what was discussed. I need to create my p**** showing game (name that movie)
