- Ken Jordan is a master craftsman. You have seen him in many of our videos. He's the guy smoking the pipe. He loves to stop by to offer advice and moral support. He is always welcome. I have learned a lot from Ken over the last 15 years. Some of it has even been about construction.

Thank you, be safe, and be grateful.
So it turns out that the guy who is always sitting in a chair & seems to do the least in the videos is actually the most accomplished person in the video. Incredible workmanship.
That is exactly right!!
well said!
And it is killing him every second that he can't help
@@marcussamson7640 My 80 year old grandfather would do the same thing. Any time I was working on electric or building a room or porch he would sit in a chair and watch. He tried to help all he could.
He was hit in the back with a steel beam from a crane and he got real bad arthritis after it happened. He woke up at 3 o'clock every morning and worked with his tractor and around the farm.
He was a logger, construction worker and construction foreman building bridges. He also owned a grocery store and a couple properties with cell phone tower income.
He had cancer twice and his left eye was put out from a nail, when he hit it with the chainsaw. He built the house I live in, my sister's house, my aunt's and mom's house.
He also rebuilt his home in three months after it burned down, that was when my mom was a little kid. He said the house was liveable after two weeks it just wasn't finished. He got the building materials loaned to him from the lumber yard and paid the guy back in those three months.
Oh and he was an Army veteran, he was a medic and served near Elvis in germany.
What a man lol.
@@Robmancan1987 Thanks for sharing as well Brother. Peace
So, Pipe Guy is a master craftsman!! omg i thought he was just "hanging with the boys" when the boys were hanging with HIM
Totally true
Long live Ken Jordan
Hahaha, well said.
Best comment we have a guy where i live who is very similar he was a quad tradesman and is truely unbelievable to spend time with
@@tinysbigsteps7682 These are the best guys
Im literally fighting tearing up a bit. Blown away by all of it, the craftsmanship, the story, the friendship, the respect. Long live people of this caliber
Let em flow man.
The world needs a lot more people of this caliber!
I came intending to just watch enough to get Ken's back story. 26 minutes later, I am wishing there was more.
Seriously! Where is the biography? I'd buy that book
@@timothywoodward1685 me 2 after seeing this
Every once in a while I just have to go back and watch this gem again. I would no doubt trip over my self at the opportunity to view such a treasure... (including the house he built.)
You are absolutely right. Me too??!!
@@badlandskid Me too.
Great way to honor your friend, he has a strong will that is seeing him through. An Artist as well.
Such a beatifull home, this level of carpentry is very humbling, thank you for sharring,
Wranglerstar!!! I’m a huge fan of your channel and this one! You both give such great content!
2 other good ones I think of when I come across yours is Pat McNamara aka basic dude stuff and Ridley Contracting is a new one which I think has a lot of potential. Just old school how to be a self sufficient man content.
Wrinklestar is a closet alcoholic who only truly cares about himself & his toys.
Look at the way he treats Jack ffs...
I had a brain aneurysm rupture (SAH) 12 years ago when i was 28. I had been a roofer since I was a teenager and I had no insurance so I ended up just dragging myself back up the ladder and starting again. I wasnt going to lose my home but their were plenty of times i wondered what am I doing. There were a few times I thought i was going to lose consciousness so Id jam myself between stacks bundles so I couldnt just roll off. I have regained my faculties and having to relearn reading made me understand and appreciate communication so much more. For the 1st few years I carried a dictionary everywhere I knew the words but they were just unfamilar very odd feeling. Nice to know other people keep going too it is the best rehab and plus if you can just fall over and die at any moment there is no time for pity partys.
Joel, I am proud of you for not giving up or giving in to the stroke. I am a fellow Roofer who has had the great fortune of enduring a Deep Vein Thrombosis, so I share similarities with you. Keep striving to regain your strength and faculties. Keep track of your progress and don't forget to celebrate the wins.
You are also an inspiration.Hope the rest of your life goes smoothly.
Thank God, the brain has amazing restorative abilities and can actually regrow neuropathways through continued and varied mental stimulation. It will very likely continue getting better, plus you're young!
Being a roofer, it totally explains why you had no health insurance. The insurance industry made it too expensive. How? Because they don't follow basic principles of insurance which spreads the risks of roofing onto all other areas of construction risk. The modern insurance policy specializes in the "risk" therefore forcing those only in the Roofing industry have to foot the risks of that industry. Well, of course its too expensive, the insurance idiots have made the system specific vs. diverse as the principles suggest. So sad that the States and their insurance commissioners allow this kind of underwriting. Folks were better off before insurance commissioners were created.
You're one hell of a man. Simply by doing what you're supposed to do. God Bless you sir.
TH-cam content really doesn’t get any better than this. Outstanding 👏👏👏
Really outstanding
More video of this house Please
Here here
The level of kindness, love, and respect you pay your friend is heartwarming. Thank you for bringing in sunshine through this video.
I agree whole heartedly!
Amen.
I wish every person had access to true craftsmen like these to understand accomplishment and being a gentleman. These guys have a silent pride. They know they are not inferior to anyone, and yet they respect everyone.
Liked it twice! Lol
I have followed this channel since it had about 300 followers. I never comment on videos... I am a no body to most everyone on here and this has minimal context but damn... Scott Wadsworth will go down as one of the best men that ever lived in my opinion. A channel that was originally founded around the concept of appreciating craft caused me to have the willingness to buy a house that needed to be fixed up in its entirety. And because of these videos, a millenial has essnetially remolded an entire home. Thanks Scott. You wisdom is unreal.
Yes it's good to know that there are people like this out there .
And there is no ego getting in the way either
Not only is the actual House just absolutely Stunning (but I'm a sucker for all things "Craftsman"), but so is Ken. He IS the Man that all of us WANT to be.
When your hobby is your home, all is right with the world. Nice to meet Ken.
I've watched this video three times because it is so inspirational. Wishing Ken and his wife a long, happy life together.
As a woodworker and a retired vocational rehabilitation therapist, your video stirred many emotions. Congratulations on your presentation as well as Ken’s transparency. The goal of rehabilitation, often misunderstood, is maximum utilization of remaining skills and not 100% of former capabilities. Ken might not fill our minds with speech, but our hearts with determination.
Keep up the good work!
@Hello Mickey how are you doing
Astonishing man. Even in his diminished capacities, he has 10 times the skills of an ordinary man. He must have a wonderful wife too, keeping that bright light burning steady.
“The purpose in a man’s heart is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out.” Proverbs 20:5. You’ve produced quite an honoring biography here, EC. Well done.
da*m u guys. i had a stroke a year ago at 58. was paralysed on left side and now im able to run as part of my rehab. my emotions have changed since my stroke and i cry when watching stories like this when b4 i was a stone and never shed a tear. im crying during the video and after.....i hate crying
Nothing wrong with crying. It just proves you are human!!
It takes a strong man to admit things he dislikes about himself. God Bless you bud
This mans accomplishments bring tears to my eyes. I pray there is someone who inherits this house and realizes what they have, and cherish it for their whole life.
My father who passed a few years ago had a stroke and i had to help take care of him till the end. It was very hard for me to watch the effects that the stroke had on my idol and the strongest man i ever met. It was harder to watch my father have to live and fight everyday to accomplish the smallest of things he had to relearn. I cried watching this and reading your story but they are tears of joy. I too never used to be able cry but it feels good. Thanks for sharing
Whatever you feel is what you should be feeling.
Almost brings a tear to the eye. Absolutely beautiful. The work is so far beyond me, that I am just looking on in awe. The time and dedication, skill level, love, the sheer bloody will power, it is amazing. That is a work of art. Then add in that you guys come across and true gentlemen, and the obvious respect and friendship. Great video.
Let Ken’s experience with his stroke serve as a lesson to everyone:
If you ever have any signs or symptoms of a stroke call 911. Don’t wait, don’t go to bed, go to the ER. The ambulance will get you there quicker than you can get yourself and if there is a choice of hospital they will take you to the right one.
Time is brain; don’t wait.
This is absolutely amazing.thank you so much for this treasure of a home tour.
A friend of mine had one about two years ago when he was 36. If he had been home alone when it happened he probably wouldn't have survived, but as God had it someone was there. He was really lucky.
helping keep this at the top. Ron Paul had a stroke on a live stream a few weeks ago and it was terrifying.
I just want to use this opportunity to remind people of the symptoms of a stroke (think FAST):
Facial drooping
Arm weakness
Speech difficulties
Time to call an ambulance
If you or a suspected stroke victim can't raise their arms above head height, can't smile, slur their speech or can smell burned toast, it's time to call the emergency services.
Yep. Almost the exact same scenario with my Dad around 60 years old. Felt weird, went to bed at 9PM, Woke up at 4AM unable to talk, walk, lost right side. 6 weeks later he's talking and walking with a walker. 2 months later his brain flipped and he spent the next 5 years in Searcy mental hospital and then nursing home. Don't take a minute for granted. Life can literally change in a heartbeat. And knowing the signs is life-saving. And Greg is right, the ambulance will get you to the right place.
As a so called professional Carpenter for 40 years I totally agree Ken is on another level. Few craftsmen in history ever attain this degree of skill. The house is kind of dark and imposing but showcases his joy and understanding of wood and superb quality of construction. Life isn't fair when a man of his talent and vision gets hit by a stroke and others that have no desire to do anything and achieve nothing retain good health. His come back accomplishments prove he still hasn't lost his drive and passion and not least his skills. Amazing man in an amazing house.
GOD IS GIVEN HIS SKILL BACK BETTER THEN WHAT. HE HAD
You know, so few folks have the soul to do things to perfection.
And fewer folks appreciate it when they see it, most having failed to see it at all.
Kudos to BOTH of you for the inspiration.
Simple recognition by a peer and a friend is all one needs to justify his labor.
Right dear
I wasn't expecting to get a little misty eyed watching this video. I'm a grown man for Pete's sake! When I saw Mr. Jordan favoring his right arm and limiting his words, I knew what that was all about! I watched my father courageously battle back from several strokes which left him severely limited in his abilities. He was a true craftsman and one of the best finish carpenters around. He sure would have loved your videos. He was a man who took unparalleled pride in his work product too. God bless you sir for being a true friend to Mr. Jordan. May God grant Mr. Jordan many more years.
That is beautiful. My mom had a stroke some years back. One of her biggest passions is gardening. So the very first thing she did when she got home was tend to her plants.
I love this. Awesome comment.
Touching!
I'm a carpenter. I've been one since 1986. Watching this homage to your good friend is heartwarming and beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for introducing your friend Ken Jordan to us, his work/passion and his amazing house. I think you are all remarkable people. Ken has been tested more than most and has proven incredible resilience, determination and craftsmanship. I hope he continues to recover and wish him all the best.
Gosh only a carpenter could really fully appreciate all the details and all the work put into this place.
This is magnificent! I cant imagine what sort of person would give this a thumbs down, but I'm glad I don't know those people.
Ken is an absolute genius! He is an inspiration to us all and what better form of occupational therapy for rehabilitation than what you love. Thank you Scott for bringing this video of triumph over adversity to my attention and I will share this story with my patients. Continued good health and further recovery to Ken and I look forward to seeing the “supervisor” in more of your videos. Keep up the good work and best wishes from Ireland.
Dear Ken Jordan... I have no real words to express how I feel. Your hands are beautiful, your spirit is shining through you and your entire home. You are so incredible and such an inspiration. Thank you for being you and for never giving up.
Kenny has had the stroke and Scott says “help me out what’s it called?” And Kenny answers - Classic love this channel thank you Scott.
I've only watched a handful of your videos, here and there. Wasn't subscribed.
This video brought me to tears...
Such beautiful craftsmanship. The determination, care, intent, and perfection in every minutiae of this lovely home...the man and wife who lived this amazing story...and continue to do so.
Thank you for sharing this. I do believe Green & Green architecture is my new favorite style.
This is so sweet, and amazingly informative. Ken seems amazingly intelligent, kind, and talented! Thanks for the tour of a BEAUTIFUL home, and a wonderful friend!
This Ken guy really pays attention to detail.
I am standing here without breath...I am unable to breathe and I'm literally fighting tears to see this beautiful work that defies accurate description...Mr Ken, you are a very special talent that is likely to never be equaled...my hat is tipped with the utmost of respect and admiration!
You show it's ok to compliment and admire another man for his skills without feeling inferior.
At the beginning, i love the shot where he had his hand on Jordan's shoulder. That's a friendly, manly, show of true affection where today young, and middle aged men reject.
Also, the amount of compliments through this channel to men who know things, is such an immense absence of ego and we need that. Society needs that.
Thank you for showing young men it's ok to compliment other men without looking inferior.
I can only count on one hand how many people in my life had such an influence that changed my way of thinking about one thing or another.
7:53 sir, you never need to worry about being over the top…being over the top is what allows this channel to exist, the excellence of attention to detail is what draws us in. Thank you
the amount of reverence for Ken and his skills is so readily apparent in this video that it brings a tear to my eye. Beautiful house and a beautiful video
I'm not crying, you're crying. Such an amazing person who has the ability to build such a remarkably beautiful house, inside and out. So hard to fathom the intricacies in his craftsmanship. Truly a work of art.
Could've made a 2 hour video about all the details. Thank you for this gem and importance of valuing people behind the beautiful work.
Tears through the whole show.
Great job.
2 true hero’s highlighted here
Thanks to Ken For showing us your home and your hard work. outstanding skills.
Such a talented man! As someone who had a bad closed head injury when I was 15, I know the struggle of suddenly not being able to function. His accomplishments after the stroke give me hope. Thank you for sharing
The character, respect, and love of people so committed to both their craft, and to the meaningful relationships in their lives. Seeing legacy happening. God bless, may he fully recover, and continued beautiful life for him and his bride.
Your epilogue, brought a tear to my eye. As a matter of fact this whole discovery of what a man can do with a dream, a vision and small steps repeated over time, really touches me deeply!
Priceless content, thank you!
i had to cry as well,,, the way this was deliverer had integrity all wrapped into is,, Heavenly maybe.
Now this... This is a birthday present!
When they made Ken they didn't add the quit. What a Man.
Happy birthday homie. I love you
I have watched your videos for years and always wondered who the guy "sitting and standing around not working" was, somehow missed this vid entirely until now. What an absolute legend and inspiration Mr. Ken is.
I would not have imagined that Scott would ever say "weak sauce".
People like this are an absolute treasure to humanity! Both of these men are amazing human beings & should be an example to each & every one uf us.
Thank you for sharing all the great videos, information & stories.
So glad he still goes to the job site to experience what his heart loves!!! He didn’t get bitter, he got better ❤️❤️
I don't know if I have ever watched a more caring and loving 26 minutes on TH-cam. Thank you. Your relationship with Ken Jordan is priceless and was an eyeopener for me !
I love watching this video when I start feeling sorry for my self or unmotivated. That home is amazing and as well as it creator. Keep up the good work!!
There are carpentry Jedi's- but Ken is Master Yoda! The force is strong with this one...
Cant tell you how many times I rewatch this just to see that woodworking. Serious craftsmanship beyond a doubt. Years and years of skill to hone to that level of perfection
MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE!
I was surfing through your videos today then I came upon this beautiful friendship masterpiece of a couple of genius's. This man couldn't read anymore but decided to write his own book by using the skills of his brain and learning to use his hands as best as he can. I could watch video after video of the things he has created and the tools around his shop. Godspeed to the both of you. Be blessed and keep your Pencils sharp !!!
Peace and Love from Texas
Ken is an amazing artist and craftsman. Thank you for sharing his inspirational work, as humbling as it all is.
I’ve only found your channel a few days ago and it’s impacted my life in ways I can’t express. Thank you for this video and what you’re doing. We need more men like you and your friend to be lifted up as shinning examples for the young men coming up. I try to do my best to be an example and can only pray to be remembered anything like this by someone I’ve influenced.
Holy moley! It took me about 10 minutes to understand that this wasn't a Greene and Greene home and that you were standing next to the craftsman who built it. Such excellence and beauty. Thank you for sharing it.
After 35 years of working in the airline industry I'm currently recovering from right shoulder surgery and will soon have surgery on my left shoulder. On top of that I may need lower back surgery if PT doesn't work. With the support of my wonderful wife I have no doubt it won't be long before I'm back working in my shop. This video serves as inspiration and proves how powerful the mind can be even if the body has limitations. Keep up the good work!
That house is absolutely breathtaking!!! Some things money just cannot buy! Huge thumbs up👍🏼💪🏻💥💥👍🏻
I s uffered my stroke 2 years ago luv the story iwas aroofing carpenter still try to do little bits and pieces every day is a challenge so rewarding when I accomplished something. He should be so proud of what he's achieved since having the stroke
In the early 60's my uncle had a massive stroke that took his right side. He had just retired and was 65. For the next five years he sat in a recliner and smoked. He died at 70. Kudos to someone who would not sit down, well done!
I hope Ken has found this video as valuable as I have. It's a good reminder that there's a reward for tight tolerances n any line of work.
Ken Jordan is the definition of when HUMBLE meets PRIDE
Really Incredible story about Ken and his wonderful accomplishments.
You tell it so well .... we are all truly inspired.
Thanks for sharing.
Really amazing stuff here. I feel bad for my years of lack of this calibre of productivity. The thought of wasting time and seeing what could be achieved drives me forward.
This is my first time to comment on a youtube video . And this is one of the best youtube videos i have ever seen. And what a beautiful house. Thank you so much for this . And you keep up the good work . Hope you see my comment sent to you from cairo , egypt
Thank you Ken Jordan for your inspiration. Scott, thank you for introducing me to Ken and yourself.
Silently I’ve applauded the passion and childhood delight you exude when speaking and sharing as you do in these videos. However, following this one, you’ve inspired my voice. Gone are the days when Men of your caliber were plentiful, but it has proven clear that the childhood delight shining through; is no more than mere Marvel of the “TRUE MASTERS” and the opportunity to tell their stories. Thank you for the love and admiration enough to share the one about the “Man in the Chair”!
That shaper is a swedish machine! The brand still exists.
WOW, words are insufficient to acknowledge the accomplishments, both pre and post stroke, an affliction that humbles lesser men. Again a Sincerest WOW. Thank You for the Glimpse into Ken Jordan.
when you showed the garden i teared up, there is so much hard work done by Ken and Alaina that i admire so much, the joints of the house and the many trees, and he just will not quit. the kind of man everyone could look up to.
I just finished my first week as a plumber and this almost brought me to tears. Im very grateful to be working and will strive to do my job well. Thank you for this video guys and i hope you are both well and your families are well too.
Replying to myself as i am now a builder as i got sacked as a plumber during covid. I am doing well and build cowsheds and still love this video.
18:12
"I'm going to go home & bury all my tools and go work for home depot"
I rolled when you let that line out..
I feel your pain though.
Very nice home, style wise. Thanks for sharing!
As a former Home Depot employee, I know exactly what he means lol.
A man who works with his hands is a laborer. If he works with his hands & his mind he is a craftsman.when he works with his hands his mind & his heart ❤️ he is a artist.thank both of you for sharing your art. H.b.
He's got "The Glory of Christ" by John Owen on his bookshelf. That's awesome!
Kudos to Mr Jordan to keep himself active after a stroke. I myself had a stroke at age 49 but never kept myself idle or had self pity. I'm on the go everyday and even working harder these days. I'll be 51 this year.
That garden is beautiful and so is the house, *VERY* well done.
God bless you Kenny your craftsmanship is so masterful. I'm very grateful to have seen your beautiful home.
I'm in tears of joy at both your beautiful and concise presentation and at this man's work, challenges and accomplishments.
Your descriptions of the things you see are truly immersive and very clearly from the heart.
I take something very real and precious from your videos and I thank you very much for sharing them.
Wow! what a LEGEND! Beautiful craftsmanship Ken! Glad to see you still doing what you love! A body in motion stays in motion. Keep up the great work!
I definitely teared up a bit toward the end. I'm impressed that you managed to hold it together yourself. A great testament to Ken.
Good Job!!! I am a 66 yr old carpenter in Alameda Ca. We have a lot of Craftsman and Victorian examples here. I have the honor of working on restoring and preserving many of the grandest over the years. I do my best everyday. I have worked with broken thumbs, elbow bones, toes, and a shoulder cracked in 4 places and did not miss a day. You brothers had tears running down my face watching this video. Thank you so much. With respect, love, striving for excellence, endurance, and brotherhood you have built a more beautiful world.
"Refusal to lay down in the road" Man stop making me have mansweat coming out of my eyes! Awesome does not approach what I saw here.
didn't think I was gonna watch a video on construction and have tears in my eyes...
it was without a doubt inspirational.
thank you for this video. But honestly, it made me feel sick now about myself my capabilities, and the level of craftsmanship that I can achieve.
Last year I watched and listened to Tory Bruno, who builds rockets. After watching him speak I felt that I had done nothing important with my life. Watching this testament to a friend has only reinforced this feeling. My eyes are still wet 20 minutes later.
Listening to you and seeing the excitement on your face, as a stroke victim myself I am sure you would never give up either. I thank you for sharing Kens story. It hits close to home for me. I was in the hospital for 4 months After January 20 2021 and am still receiving therapy. My balance is still off. Still can't drive. I used to play my guitars but haven't been able to since that day. I forgot how. I was always active in restoring classic cars I can still do some of it. I love working metal and have enjoyed some wood work in the past. Working with your hands is so satisfying. Tell Ken I will be thinking about him for a good while to come and God Bless. Will be praying🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😁
I found your channel a couple of weeks ago by happenstance, have watched over 100 of the Spec House videos and have learned a lot which I hope will help me, help my brother build his house - thank you. I've never commented because most of the videos are old and well, I tend not to, but after watching this I just had to comment and say THANK YOU for sharing this story, it truly is inspiring both just as a person, but also as a fellow wood worker is has just started in and aspires to Kens sort of precision and tolerances. Ken's house is beautiful and I wish you'd shown more of the amazing wood and wood working and also more of all those beautiful hand tools.
Thank you for continuing to share content like this! Often times humanity doesn't paint the greatest picture of us, but there's always gems - you both.
Im also fighting tears, the Superb Craftsmanship and beauty of the work and kindness and respect within your friendship. The tools will be buried soon.
I hope someday I figure out what this man figured out. I know the feeling you have when you are passionate about something and you dive deep into work, you have productive days and you build something you are proud of. These moments are rare for most people and It seems like this man has lived his entire life like this. I hope I can use the inspiration this video gave me and learn to live a little more like him.
What an accomplished man. Cheers to you Ken. You remind me of an uncle figure I had in my life. He was a fellow electrician friend of my fathers who took me under his wing on side jobs and taught me a whole lot. He retired in 2016 and continued to do the wood work on his dream home which is absolutely incredible like Ken’s house! Unforunately, he got leukemia and never got to finish his dream home - RIP Angelo, you were the fucking man!
Thank you EC for bringing back good memories
The carpentry on display here is truly humbling. This is what happens when a carpenter builds a house like a cabinet maker. A really good, master cabinet maker. A fine and very touching homage to your friend Ken and his wife Elena. The genius level of carpentry is enough to make me cry, the affection and respect for your friend made me totally tear up.
I only just read the video description, speaking of Ken's inspiration: " Some of it has even been about construction."
It takes two folks to truly appreciate, and I am thinking that YOU are just as integral as Ken in this recipe.
What a complete and total mans man. Would absolutely love to meet him and yourself one day.
I wanted to write a long comment about this inspirational video, but I'll reduce it to just: WOW!!!
This channel is amazing!
The gentleman Ken Jordan is what I concieve as an elf. In my undestanding that, he is high crafted minded and knowledgeable person. He is also kind. Hope he gets better as much as he has. Congratulations¡
Not quitting is the step to success. Ken is a success in the most important area. Life
Honestly this is one of the best/worthwhile videos I've had the pleasure to watch. Ken is truly an inspiration to us all. One question, how was he able to afford over the years the massive amount money required to achieve the magnificent home he and his wife have built. Thank you for taking the time to share this.
