If you've never seen my channel,
check out these videos: • How to Build Cabinets - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
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.
Thank you Eric!
Well you and me Eric make 2, with 249,998 siblings 😊
Same here Eric. His were the first plans I ever bought. The shop vac cart
Another Eric just subscribed 😂
You don't need the clickbait you already have a good channel. Good luck.
That's great news! I've watched your video's for years on TH-cam and love the content you put out. So glad you're taking the plunge to spend more time doing something you're passionate about and that will also give you more quality time with your family. Sending you best wishes on your future endeavors from AZ!
Congratulations!! Best of luck as you begin this next phase of your journey! I'm excited to see more of your content on TH-cam.
Great milestone. Congrats and good luck on the leap. You're doing great and I expect will continue to grow and do very well. Love the content and the channel.
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.
Love the energy you put forth in all your videos! I also just subbed on the Patreon - can't wait to see what's next!
Thank you!
Congratulations on the transition to doing what you love full time and making the commitment to spending more time with your family. It's a wonderful thing when a side hustle grows into your main hustle and you can better things for yourself and those you love the most.
I enjoy the content you create and look forward to seeing more of your videos! Take care and God bless
I love your videos! So happy we will see more projects and you’ll have some downtime too. Have fun with it!!
Thank you!
Congrats to you for taking the leap! I look forward to your new journey

Congrats! This is an awesome milestone. I'm just starting out on my TH-cam woodworking journey and love hearing the story of folks like you and how they built their channel. Thanks for sharing your story.
Congratulations on the next big step. Wow 250k subs that grew fast and well deserved
Congratulations. Your videos are inspiring and I look forward to the future of your channel. So glad that you’re spending more time with family too!
Thank you John!
Good luck, looking forward to the uptick in content.
Awesome! Thankful to see your channel pop up.
Congrats Matt. Wish you the best as we follow along with your journey.
Congratulations on your decision, Matt, and I wish you success with growing the channel! You tend to focus on some of the issues and problems that are most closely related to my own in the shop -- I still aspire to build a set of base cabinets / miter saw station like you've done. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for sharing with us. God Bless 🙏
Same to you!
Congrats Matt, I’m excited for you my friend. I ask you about patreon last year and I see it’s here. I look forward to being part of your woodworking community.

Thank you John!
Awesome to hear your story! I'm just starting out with my journey to be a full time creator, so many similarities in my life, especially the desk job in the day and editing at night along with needing important family time.
Good luck bro🎉
We're with you. Keep charging forward my friend!
Congratulations. You are a good teacher with significant skills in the workshop.
Congrats mate. You do do a great job!

Congratulations Matt. I am sure the future on social media for you will be great. I love the shop projects. I am always interested in storage options and shop organization. I for one would love more shop projects!
You're a good man, sir. Cheers from Italy
Thank you for the kind words!
Love the video. I’m from Ohio and have been woodworking for the past 3 years. Congrats on your journey

Congratulations on the leap! I aspire to make it someday!
Congratulations Matt, so excited you are able to finally quit your day job and make your woodworking your day job! I have enjoyed watching your content and using your ideas in what I built. I wish you the best and greatest success in this new chapter of your life. I will continue to watch and support you as I can. The skies are the limit for you. I hope those skies are always bright blue and sunny. A man can do great things with the right woman by his side! Glad your wife is so supportive. Have tons of fun being an involved daddy.
Congratulations on your big change! I love stories like this that allow men to be stronger husbands and fathers. I still work for corporate but I've been remote since 2006. Giving me precious family time.
Glad you get that time!
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 🙏
Good call on the reallocation of time. 100% worth it. Keep up the great content!
Hey thanks Brad!
Great and brave choice! Tnanks for inspiration!
God bless you, sir. Do what you love, and love what you do......
👍🙏
Congratulations to you and frankly, us for your awesome decision.
thanks!
I wish you all the best mate
Matt, I said it in person but will say it here too: congratulations my friend. You’ll do (even more) amazing!!
Thank you my friend!
Congratulations on your new found freedom to spend time with your family! Don't give that up for anything. Once your kids are grown that's it, and you never have a second chance with them. I regretfully made that mistake. I wish you all the success in the world, and I'm sure you'll make the most of the time you've been given. 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
Good on ya! Just be mindful that job #1 is being a great husband and great dad.... the rest of it just pays the bills. Very much enjoy your demeanor, no nonsense, and honesty.
Congratulations!
You are an inspiration to so many. Keep up the great work.
Congrats and good luck
Thanks!
congrats brotha. excelsior!
Congratulations on being able to take the leap with the support of your wife & family.
Thank you James!
Congrats!
Respect!
Good luck with the new(ish) direction.
Grace and peace.
Thanks John!
Good luck with all you do.
Congratulations on the your new adventure
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)
Social media has been more effective than my website at generating leads. @industrialwill
Welcome to the lovely and wonderful state of Tennessee! Seems a lot of "greats" have now moved here, including Brad Rodriguez (I don't know that he moved here, but a year ago I discovered that he lived here). I have enjoyed your videos and wish you the best of success.
Would love to see small projects between the larger ones. Book ends, napkin holders, small boxes.
Hi I'm also in the moment that I'm getting there with my woodworking journey and starting my cutting board business here in the UK
Awesome and good luck!
Congratulations 🎉 👍🏼
Thanks!
Keep it up my man
Good for you!!! Family first ! Your new company then youtube, in that order....remember that, and all other things fall into place
As a husband and father that also works at a desk in corporate America, hearing stories like this gives me a lot of inspiration to make that change and follow my passion of woodworking too. I’m really happy for you and thank you for the content you put out!
Glad I can be an inspiration Eric!
I am in the same boat. 3 hour daily commute is slowly killing me.
It's a hard decision to leave the known for the unknown. I personally had to make a change of careers at age 55. It's the best decision I could have made. I have bought several of your plans and have your ideas on my wall holding my tools. I look forward to seeing more of you as I am sure your wife and kids will be also. Blessings on you my friend.
Cannot wait to see what you accomplish! I've been in the same quandary and haven't made the time investment in my channel. You're an inspiration.
Congrats! At 70+, I can say from experience, that you have made a good choice at the right time in your life. The latter being critical. Don’t look back. Keep charging forward. Kick the naysayers to the curb.
Congratulations and the best of luck - although you do have plenty of skill so won't need much of luck!
Seems like woodworking is only a stepping stone to a contact channel. Every woodwork has a TH-cam channel. What ever happened to just wood working
I enjoy teaching and sharing for those who just want to woodwork 🤷
Congrat's & B. wishes
Thank you!
That Kreg Jig though. I wonder how many of us can look at this specific tool as the springboard that propelled us forward? I have purchased it as a a gift for so many of my friends and family.
Dude, you gotta do what you gotta do. You know? Life's hard, but it's only one! You need to live, only work is madness. So, I'm really happy for you! And I hope everything works out! 😃
Either way, there are some pretty good and cheap rc cars from China... Try to get some and have fun with your kids. Build memories, you know? Because that's what we left for them.
In case you want any tips... You just need to ask. 😉
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks for the kind words all these years!
Well done.
This is why people shouldn’t demoralize the trades as a good way to make a living. Tradesmen, on average, are happier than white collar workers.
Congratulations on the career move. I have over 20 years in corporate America as well, i dont plan on doing my own thing full time like you though
I’m becoming a chip off the old block. My dad is a fabulous woodworker and I’m slowly developing skills. Thanks high school woodshop.
I’d move out of Ohio too! 😂😂. Go Blue
I wish you luck!
Inspirational. After 34 years in corporate America, I am a year from retiring and focusing on coaching and a woodworking business.
Wish you luck 👍🏻😉
