Congrats, Travis!! It's bittersweet having all that excitement and then experiencing loss right on top of it. But being your own boss gives you the space to deal with those types of things on your own timeline and I hope that helped you. I'm super stoked and excited for you. The journey isn't easy, but the road is wide open and you're in the driver seat. Can't wait to see where you go!!!
@@BretClements did you get the number to text for something special as well? I got the same thing. Wasn't sure about replying. Would really like to know if it is real too.
Congrats on the new gig! We the viewers got you! Haven't been suggested a vid since the "im quitting utube vid". Now i can't wait to watch every.single.one!
Travis what’s up man. This is absolutely a monumental step and as strange as it might sound I’m really proud of you man. The leap of faith is a tough one to take. But living in that fear of the unknown is the best thing you can experience as an entrepreneur. Best of luck I wish you all of the success in the world I can’t wait to see what you can come up with brother. Shop nation all the way.
Ok now I must decide which TH-camr to eliminate from my list - A Glimpse Inside or Shop Nation - Just kidding you guys. Look forward to watching you guys make a million subscribers shortly.
Sorry to hear about your uncle man, losing loved ones is tough. We don’t know each other, but I empathize with you. Good luck on your journey, I love your content and learn a ton from you.
Love your channel. Thank you for sharing your life in this video. Love your content, tone, and even attention to detail. This video has a lot of technical content but you don’t need that. It’s solid without the eye Candy. You have muscle protein in every video! You should do a product recap video of what you sell. Gives us a chance to support you.
Very sorry for your loss Travis. But a very big congratulations on going full-time with your business! Very inspiring for me seeing you and so many making this their full-time endeavour.
I’ve always liked your vids but most recent are getting really good. You’ve always shown your vulnerabilities and that is huge for a lot of us. I’ve been doing this for twenty plus years and still constantly learning. Thanks for the content and keep doing what you’re doing, it works
Your monologue for your uncle was riveting. What a wonderful way to honor someone so influential in your life. Your advise to pick up the phone and talk to that special person is golden. I can no longer do that. My grandfathers, father, younger brother and the two best friends in my life are all gone. Talk to them before it's too late.
Congrats bro! Not surprised you’re going all in. Surprised you took so long. You inspired me to start my channel last year. And an etsy shop with 3D printed tool accessories! Thank you! I’m sorry to hear about uncle Ron. I’m sorry for your loss. I appreciate your ending and that you included it. Sharing like you did honors the grief you feel and allows it to do its job. Stay tender hearted. You are impacting others the way Uncle Ron impacted you. In my experience, every new season usually coincides with the sad ending of something or the loss of someone. It’s crazy how that works. Creating and loss tend to go together. Blessings from San Antonio.
Good on you for taking the jump and pursuing better things 👍🏼I understand “that pull” you are talking about. I am a full time mail carrier and sell woodworking on the side. Every time I sell a new piece of furniture, that pull grows stronger and I am fully convinced that I’ll be leaving the post office when the opportunity presents its self. Also I am sorry to hear about your uncle. You should build some sort of memorial for him that you can hang in the shop! Just an idea
So sorry to hear about your uncle brother. I know that’s rough business. Excited about your venture into full time TH-cam. I will be watching each video.
your uncle sounded like a "stand up guy". If you possess a fraction of his integrity and his grit, you will do just fine in your endeavor. All my best from my family to yours.
I feel ya! Im at the end of my EE career, getting forced out early. Have a woodworking business, looking TH-cam and also getting ready to get into Laser cutting work. Success today in being an entrepreneur is higher than ever if you focus on it. I have no doubt you will realize your dreams!
The fact that as a business owner, you can write off much of your home, vehicle, materials, etc. Learning how to manipulate the tax laws actually is quite profitable!
Man I feel you when you're talking about work not being fulfilling. Trying to figure it out myself at the moment! Absolutely respect the decision. Takes guts! P.S. RIP to Ron sounds like a really good guy! Hope you're keeping well bud! One of the best things about this channel is the honesty, wether it be finance wise or something like this!
Trust me when I say this, uncle Ron has already watched this video 100 times over. My prayers are with you and your family. It’s no coincidence that your decision was to run this channel full time. Just know that Uncle Ron is right by your side. Thank you for all the content.
So happy for your new changes. I know U’ll do great. I’m very sorry for your loss. I battled Luekimia in Houston TX and your videos helped me through it. I want to thank you for it.
Im sorry to hear about your Uncle Ron, Sounds like he was a great guy and a huge influence on you. Best of luck on your new venture. I'm confident you will be successful.
First off, I'm sorry for your loss. Your Uncle Ron was the kind of guy I would want to hang out with. Next, I wish you the best of luck on your full-time TH-cam adventure. I never had the guts to go out on my own. Good for you. I look forward to the upcoming projects, especially the shed.
Been waiting for you to go full time for yourself for a long time. I can’t wait to see what’s next. Also: My father and my father’s father lives on in me. Uncle Ron’s lives in you. Here’s to all the Uncle Rons out there. Keep up the good work
thank you for including the part about your uncle. you have our support...my family and your YT community. Seems like a wonderful human. He's still showing people your videos!!
Thank you for helping me clue in to a lot of my own feelings. I’ve worked in the entertainment industry going on 32 years now and the world events of the past two years have left me without passion for what I do. That’s why I started my own channel. I’m a long way from leaving the career, but it can be done. Sorry to hear about your loss, your uncle sounds like he was an amazing man!, And a good mentor. Prayers for all your family from down here in North Carolina…
So sorry about your uncle. Pretty gutsy to put that all out here. Thanks. And as for your new venture, all the best on that front. I'm looking forward to the new content.
It is so hard to lose a loved family member, especially when they’re a mentor and example like your uncle. Just remember that all of what he meant to you, and taught you, lives on in you. And you will pass it on to someone one day. Be well, and good luck on your endeavor! I will certainly be watching 😊.
This channel has been a big inspiration for me to get in the garage and get more in tune with my creative side. You are passing on Ron’s legacy by inspiring others and showing that it’s okay to take a risk and know if something didn’t work than to always look back and wonder if it would have. Looking forward to more content from you.
RIP Uncle Ron, sorry for your loss brother. Travis congratulations on the new career path, can’t wait to see more. Also I just bought the Ridgid dual bevel miter saw just so I could buy you dust shoot, will order soon.
CONGRATS on chasing YOUR dream - I'm way farther down the road than you and the "What If I had ...." game is a sure path to overwhelming depression and a TOTAL DEmotivator, so, don't do that - EVER. From what I see you have the drive, I see good things in your future. I for one will be watching.
Difficult times for you and your family. Condolences to all. But, know that he is in a better place watching your new videos. Sounds like a perfect time for your new endeavour. Good luck.
Most people have either a “left” brain or a “right” brain. You have both, so you will succeed. Having a supportive family, wife, uncle, et al, makes that journey even more likely. I like you. Keep it going.
Sending all the best for your new direction! I for one will be cheering you on! Sorry for your loss, your uncle sounds like an amazing man but it sounds like his spirt will always be with you! I will be watching you and supporting you the best I can! All the best!
I’m so sorry for your loss. All the best to you and your family. I admire your strength to make the leap in to what truly makes you happy. I wish I could make the leap to work for my self. Love the videos all so worth watching. Best of luck for everything.
Travis, Sorry for your loss, Ron sounded like a great guy thanks for sharing. I'm excited about your future, your YT channel is at the top of my list of favorites. Cheers, and remember to "Drive fast and take chances"
Two great stories in one video! So sorry for your loss but so excited to see where you go after sharing your stories. I look forward to following your journey.
Sorry for your loss. Lost my grandfather to COVID and he was the same way as far as molding who I am today. Best of luck with the full time TH-cam gig. I'll be watching and liking as much as possible.
Sorry to hear about your uncle. Can see how hard it was to tell about. just like he was a inspiration for you, You are also a inspiration to many unknow wiever of this channel. You are a huge inspiration to me and its because of you (and the channel) i finaly got myselv a shop.
Sorry for you loss, and grateful that you had someone in your life like your uncle. Good luck on your new adventure! Hope it scratches all your itches.
This has been a very powerful video. Don’t worry Travis, what you put your mind to you will accomplish it. I am so sorry to hear about your Uncle Ron. It sounds like he was an amazing man. The apple hasn’t fallen to far from the tree, that is obvious. You both have an entrepreneurial spirit. Though he is not here to see & hear your latest video, I can’t help but think that perhaps he is in fact a witness to it. You did the right thing by honoring him. He may be gone, but you know he was genuinely proud of you and your accomplishments in your life. Continue to live as he would have wanted you to. Take care & hang in there. I am sure you will be a great comfort to your Aunt. Blessings!
Very sorry for your loss. It’s great that you had someone like that in your life. Hopefully you’ll be able to share more great stories about him along the way. Best of luck with the new “full time” job! If the quality of your work is any indication, your business will be a big success. I recently received one of your dust chutes for my Delta Cruzer and it made a huge difference in limiting the amount of dust that goes all over the place. No longer do I get slammed in the face with a bunch of saw dust…Thank you so much for that!!
Excited for you with the new situation, but so sorry to hear about your uncle. I know he is so proud of you! There aren’t many things I hate, but cancer is most certainly one of them! Prayers for you and your family from a three-time survivor…
I'm excited for your new chapter and where you go from here. Wishing you the best of luck buddy. My condolences for your loss, but I'm sure that your uncle will be proud of you.
Sorry to hear about the loss of your uncle. I am looking forward to more content. Your channel has inspired me to completely rebuild my entire shop. Thank You
Sorry for you loss brother. I have watched most if not all of your content multiple times, supported your affiliate links, and am considering to purchase some of your battery holders, as soon as I get my shop back in working order. Stay strong! Be inspiring! Keep up the good work!
Uncle Ron will always be with you in your endeavors as you continue to create shop greatness. God Bless Uncle Ron and all of his loved ones left behind.
I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your uncle. Sounds like he was a great man and he meant a lot to you. I'm excited to hear you are going to be doing Shop Nation full time and look forward to the shop greatness you continue to pursue. I've been here since you had only a couple hundred followers and have never missed a video. I have also recently left my job to partner with someone to bring my side gig to a full time career so I understand the fear and troubles you are struggling with in the switch. You have a great channel and I have no doubt it will continue to grow.
Your intro montage was great. Never been to OH and it made me curious to visit. Condolences on your loss. It’s good that you have a lifetime of good memories to look back on with him.
I'm sorry for your loss, your uncle clearly meant a lot to you. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability and memories with us, it is refreshing to see people on here go through difficulties in life as well. I hope you continue to cherish the memories you have with your uncle and heal in time. Really excited for you taking this chance in your journey of life. I would like to see you create a dust collection "fix" for the 10" DeWalt miter saw. Lots of those out there and the dust collection is as bad as the rest, especially the long plastic tube sticking out the back which also affects trying to get that setup in a miter saw station akin to what you have. Another project would be dust collection for lathes that will work with both wood and acrylics. There is also the variable of midi and full size lathes which would require different sized collections systems due to body size of the lathes. Something that has strong magnets so it stays attached to the lathe and a track for moving the dust head left or right maybe. Just some thoughts. Maybe create a center finder for round objects. When turning on a lathe we sometimes use round pieces of wood whether it is a tree limb or processed piece. Have a more accurate way of finding center of various sized round pieces would be beneficial because you want that piece as centered as posible on the lathe to prevent vibration and just make things easier to work with. Feel free to reach out to me directly if you need more info for considering these project options.
I wish you the best of luck Travis! I have followed your channel for several years now. I've always looked forward to seeing your content show up in my subscriptions. I'm super stoked that maybe that will start happening more often now. I'm very sorry about your loss of Uncle Ron. I really needed to hear your story about Uncle Ron and the very strong message that came along as well! Thank you very much for opening up and sharing!
Congrats on going full time. Looking forward to seeing the upcoming projects. You were a big inspiration for me to start my channel. So sorry for your loss.
So sorry for your loss! Enjoy your channel - I patterned the cabinets I built after yours. Keep up the great work as you embark on this adventure. Wishing you the very best!
Sorry for your loss. It is moving that his influence is continuing to inspire you in your new chapter. Life happens, and you have a great sense of perspective on things. Best wishes.
Your message at the end of the video was both emotional and heartfelt. It made me think about all the people in my life who influenced what I did and where I am today. Many of them aren't with us anymore but would be excited and proud of where I am. It also made me think of those people I need to reach out to and talk with. You uncle Ron is I'm sure extremely proud of you and looking over you from the other side. Congratulations on the big decision to move to doing what you do so well and are passionate for. I've had 7 career changes in my life and each one was for the better. I'll follow you to get to "Shop Greatness" in my own shop!
Sorry to hear about your uncle. Good luck with the TH-cam channel. I will be interested to see if you do a 2023 financial presentation. I enjoy watching and learning what you do, keep up the god work.
Pumped for you dude. Got a little dusty over here watching the end of the video. Great message. Look forward to seeing Shop Nation go to the moon
Definitely

Thanks Brad! Appreciate what you've helped pave for the rest of us. You're a great example of someone doing it right.
@@ShopNation Travis, I smell something fishy going on with the reply "you" left for me above. If it is actually the real you, then I apologize.
@@BretClements what message did you get??
@@BretClements did you get the number to text for something special as well? I got the same thing. Wasn't sure about replying. Would really like to know if it is real too.
If that’s the ‘it’ll be fine’ number I had that too…….
My heart goes out to you. I just lost my husband to cancer and it’s hard. Talking is helping you. I love your videos. I’m 74 but I build things.
Good luck on your new adventure, sorry for your loss your uncle will always be with you
Congrats and good luck. My condolences also.
Good luck! Love your content! And my condolences to you and your family.

It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for him.
I love it.. Keep on preaching and I love it. Stay Strong Brother
Travis what’s up man. This is absolutely a monumental step and as strange as it might sound I’m really proud of you man. The leap of faith is a tough one to take.

I'm excited to hear you are going to be doing Shop Nation full time and look forward to the shop greatness you continue to pursue. I've been here since you had only a couple hundred followers and have never missed a video. I have also recently left my job to partner with someone to bring my side gig to a full time career so I understand the fear and troubles you are struggling with in the switch. You have a great channel and I have no doubt it will continue to grow.
Your intro montage was great. Never been to OH and it made me curious to visit.
Condolences on your loss. It’s good that you have a lifetime of good memories to look back on with him.
The montage came out great!! Congratulations on taking the leap and I look forward to future content
Good luck! I'll be following along. Sorry for your loss.
So sorry for your loss! Praying for you all my friend. I wish you the best in this next chapter. God Speed!
I'm sorry for your loss, your uncle clearly meant a lot to you. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability and memories with us, it is refreshing to see people on here go through difficulties in life as well. I hope you continue to cherish the memories you have with your uncle and heal in time.
Really excited for you taking this chance in your journey of life. I would like to see you create a dust collection "fix" for the 10" DeWalt miter saw. Lots of those out there and the dust collection is as bad as the rest, especially the long plastic tube sticking out the back which also affects trying to get that setup in a miter saw station akin to what you have.
Another project would be dust collection for lathes that will work with both wood and acrylics. There is also the variable of midi and full size lathes which would require different sized collections systems due to body size of the lathes. Something that has strong magnets so it stays attached to the lathe and a track for moving the dust head left or right maybe. Just some thoughts.
Maybe create a center finder for round objects. When turning on a lathe we sometimes use round pieces of wood whether it is a tree limb or processed piece. Have a more accurate way of finding center of various sized round pieces would be beneficial because you want that piece as centered as posible on the lathe to prevent vibration and just make things easier to work with.
Feel free to reach out to me directly if you need more info for considering these project options.
I wish you the best of luck Travis! I have followed your channel for several years now. I've always looked forward to seeing your content show up in my subscriptions. I'm super stoked that maybe that will start happening more often now. I'm very sorry about your loss of Uncle Ron. I really needed to hear your story about Uncle Ron and the very strong message that came along as well! Thank you very much for opening up and sharing!
Congrats on going full time. Looking forward to seeing the upcoming projects. You were a big inspiration for me to start my channel. So sorry for your loss.
So sorry for your loss! Enjoy your channel - I patterned the cabinets I built after yours. Keep up the great work as you embark on this adventure. Wishing you the very best!
Sorry for your loss. It is moving that his influence is continuing to inspire you in your new chapter. Life happens, and you have a great sense of perspective on things. Best wishes.
You are going to take this thing to the moon, Travis! Wishing you the best of luck. I'm extremely sorry for your loss man
Good luck Travis and sorry for your loss
Your message at the end of the video was both emotional and heartfelt. It made me think about all the people in my life who influenced what I did and where I am today. Many of them aren't with us anymore but would be excited and proud of where I am. It also made me think of those people I need to reach out to and talk with. You uncle Ron is I'm sure extremely proud of you and looking over you from the other side. Congratulations on the big decision to move to doing what you do so well and are passionate for. I've had 7 career changes in my life and each one was for the better. I'll follow you to get to "Shop Greatness" in my own shop!
Sorry for your loss. Thanks for sharing. Go do shop greatness.
