@12:02, there are a bunch of sayings that are true. Chance favors the prepared. Luck is opportunity meeting preparation. And one of my favorites from British SAS: Who Dares Wins. God Bless and all the best to you. I've ordered digital files *and* the physical ones. It's the least I could do to lend a helping hand.
May the New Year bring you all you wish for. At 70 I don't make anything like you do, I just dabble in fretwork, but I still love watching you. You're an inspiration to all. All the very Best to you and yours from this side of the ocean.
I’m in the process of buying my first home and have A LOT of projects in the hopper. Thus my TH-cam viewing has been all DIY vids. Then. This video pops up in my feed. Wow. Blown away. Chris I wish you the very best and good on you for taking the leap. I’ll spread the word.
I'm a Belgian guy and was looking for building/organising shop ideas ... never left after your dream shop build because you're a cool/nice guy! All the best!
"Luck comes with little hard work" Happy New Year to you and your family your heart is in the right place. Do you use that hammock in the backyard? Better 2022.
Chris, when I started my business manufacturing trumpet mouthpieces, everyone said I was nuts, and doomed to fail. Too much competition, not enough capital, and the list goes on. Now, in my 48th year, I have to say that they were wrong, and underestimated my desire to succeed! Just keep going!!!
Had to quit woodworking a while back, but you are still a big inspiration. Not just as a TH-camr or maker, but as a person as well. Keep up the great work.
Great attitude and outlook!! I didn't realize your situation and backstory until now. Now I'm a subscriber and supporter. Keep those products rolling and numbers coming. Best of luck in the new year!
-Top 5 reasons to order products from the Glimpse Inside Store- 5. You find out Chris' last name (no stalking) 4. Awesome packaging (Amazon, take notes) 3. Beautiful hand-finished, functional items in baltic birch (and stickers, too) 2. Bonus item... in black lam. WOW! 1. You get to add a little bit of support to the channel and the business Wishing many blessings to you and your family in the coming year!
Awesome! Glad to hear your story! I left corporate America 2006! It was scary, but now looking back, best decision I ever made! Keep creating and keep learning every aspect of running your own business!
great job.... I have to say you are an inspiration to keep trying. Doing a full time job and part-time woodworking gig is hard and you never feel like it will take off. You help and inspired me to keep going forward and trying. wish you the best in 2022.
You are the most genuine and hardworking man on TH-cam. I aspire to do the same. I suffer fatigue as well with MS and Fibromyalgia and am autistic (high functioning). Love your channel. Always praying for you and your family. 😊
Chris, i'm happy for you man.....i've been watching you for awhile and have learned so much from you. So thank you! Also, really hoping and praying something comes through as far as a cure for your wife as well. And with all that you have going on in your family with your kids and wife, you STILL find it in you to get in these videos and smile and be so positive. Your strength is commendable. Hang in there man.......no matter what happens, stay as positive as you are and you know we got your back!!!
You know it’s coming it’s like this Adam, but really make this all worth it. Thank you so much I really can’t thank you enough it means the world to hear and I hope you’re doing well my friend. Take care I wish you the best in this upcoming year many more
Happy New Year to you and yours... Glad to hear you had a good year and hope 2022 blows that out of the water. Looking forward to seeing what 2022 brings 👊👍
Glad you were strong enough to take that first step.. Maybe I will run into you at the local wood hobby store or the local plywood store. Wishing you much success!
I just found your channel and I gotta say, you’re story is an inspiration! I just recently started getting into woodworking just to try something new. Watching people like you makes me think I could make a career out of it if I stick with it. Keep up the great work!!!
Thank you, Chris, for giving folks a glimpse of who you are! May 2022 be a blessing to you. For those looking for luck, it can be found pretty easily at the intersection of PREPAREDNESS and opportunity!
Your work is great and so is the channel! I recently built my own french cleat set up in my garage after watching your videos and absolutely share the enthusiasm for the organization it provides. I just finished placing my first order in your store! Keep up the great job and I wish you continued success... Also... Love the audible "keeping it real" cameos from your kiddos... God Bless!
God Bless you brother, my grandson will be 4 next month and nonverbal. Needless to say my daughter is so overwhelmed most days and I feel your struggle. His dad has to work gone for all the expense Autism is not cheap when it comes to all these babies need. I will definitely support your channel and anything you sale. I love making things for him so any videos you can share I will watch hoping to see ones on kids rooms or activity boards would be great to see. maybe even rock climbing walls lol
Your so damned likeable. Your upbeat attitude and love for your family is wonderful. My son is autistic as well, so I feel your journey. Keep up this awe-inspiring life, you wear it well. Mark
Love your work, desire and motivation. I’ve thought about a channel and I know it’s hard work. Best of luck to you and keep on making content, can’t wait for the next video!
Chris I'm amazed at your attitude. i just came on board, i have placed an order with you last week. Can't wait to get it. I really enjoy all of your videos, and the comments you say. There is no dout that you love your wife and children. every time they come into the shop you stop what you are doing and take up some time with them. I have been in woodworking for about 25 years and love it. I just retired from a government job of 28 years. I hope to get into more of my woodwork. keep up the good work and also the very good attitude. i believe you will do good. If i ever come to Jacksonville i would like to meet you. I have friends in Jacksonville located in orange park. I will be ordering some of your large shelf brackets. GOD bless you and your family
Tom thank you so much Mann I really appreciate the support. Thanks for being involved with the channel even though you’re new here I really appreciate that so much
I LOVE YOUR HONESTY AND EMPATHY. YOU REALLY ARE A WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING AND A TRUE INSPIRATION, AND NOT A BAD CARPENTER. HA HA STAY STRONG AND KEEP ON KEEPING ON. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY FOR THE FUTURE LOVE YOUR WORK MAN AND KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING
If inspiring people is your goal let me just say your attitude alone is an incredible inspiration! There are people in this world that we come across every now and then who make us wish we had them in our circle of family and friends. You are one of those people! We'll have to settle for knowing you through TH-cam. Lol Nice job and please keep doing what you're doing.
hi chris greetings from Wales i have watched your channel for quite a while now and enjoyed everyone of your videos i've seen. Over here we call it being self-employed! you have a great attitude towards your life, family and now business. your smile travels so well across the pond to us! so i wish you and your family a busy, exciting and profitable year.
Hej hej 🙋🏻♂️ Thx for 2021 and the many interesting and engaging videos! Good luck with the new business and all the best for you and your family 2022! Anders Not your random subscriber from Sweden 🇸🇪 😉
That’s awesome Chris! I’m happy and proud of you brother! Crazy to see how far you’ve gone from when you left Publix. Very inspiring. Keep up the hard work it’s paying off for sure!
Love your heart always Chris! You do a great deal for us just showing up on TH-cam my friend. I'm praying for healing for your wife and pray for continued success for your business. You are a man's man Chris and inspiration for all us guys to follow! Blessed 2022 for you and your family. You'll be successful just showing up!
Chris, you are a poster boy for what a father and husband should be. Your values shine through as a ray of hope for our great country and some of the difficulties we face as family units in America. God is looking over you and rewarding you for your hard work and love of family and life. I wish you and your family all the success and good health in the coming New Year. God Bless.
Wishing you a great and prosperous new year all the way from New Zealand. Enjoy your honesty and courage of putting yourself out there. All the best 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I knew back in the day when I saw your french cleat designs you had something special. A successful entrepreneur fails multiple times before hitting that hole in one (see what I did there? Supporting your golf career!) Success requires constant effort, attempts and that get back up and try again mentality. I failed but I will not fail! Combine that with your great personality and you were destined to succeed. And you have all of your community available for product testing and feedback any time you need us.
Congrats on a great year! My shop build is done (lots of finishing to be done over the coming months) and the power got turned on a couple days ago. I hope to get a smidgen of the degree of success you've found in 2021 this coming year. Keep it up!!!
You my friend are an inspiration to us all not only in your craftsmanship but also in your personal life. I personally love when your kids are with you at the shop and you enjoy it with them no matter the challenges. Keep up the good work both as a father, husband and what you are currently doing as your bread and butter. Have a Happy New Year to you and your family.
Chris. I love your channel. I love your family and your kids. I love your outlook on life. Heck man, I guess I love you too. I so enjoyed listening to what you have to say and I always love watching what you’re doing. Here’s to 2022 that continues exploding for you.
Hey Chris grate videos. I understand you when you talk about CFS my wife has been struggling with it for a better part of 10 years now. You should look into the lighting process. It helped her out a lot
Thank you for sharing your story. I am happy for your success despite your family challenges. I wish you the best and will personally support your channel. Keep up the energy, the good ideas, and keep the faith. Best of luck and best wishes. God Bless.
I’m definitely grateful to call you friend. You are doing such an incredible job in inspiring others to go and create. Blessings to you and your family in this new year.
Thank you brother I’m privilege as well to know you can call your friend too. Hopefully we can definitely meet up at work Bench con this coming up here
Hi Chris, it us obvious that you love and care for your family, I hope yoj and your family have a fantastic 2022, if I lived closer I would come and help with your effort, Happy New Year mate, take care and keep safe and well.

Your authenticity is what will continue to draw people in for years to come. Keep “making” it happen!
Very humble. Cant wait to see where you go from here. Love the kids in the background. It's real life man. Good job.
Chris, when I started my business manufacturing trumpet mouthpieces, everyone said I was nuts, and doomed to fail. Too much competition, not enough capital, and the list goes on. Now, in my 48th year, I have to say that they were wrong, and underestimated my desire to succeed! Just keep going!!!
Thank you Terry. I definitely needed this. Thank you for sharing your story congratulations On 48 years
Had to quit woodworking a while back, but you are still a big inspiration. Not just as a TH-camr or maker, but as a person as well. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much I appreciate that
Congratulations Chris, sorry to hear about your children. They are your secret designers, love seeing them in your videos. GOD BLESS
Great attitude and outlook!! I didn't realize your situation and backstory until now. Now I'm a subscriber and supporter. Keep those products rolling and numbers coming. Best of luck in the new year!
