Hi Kris and family, I'm following your story from New Zealand. Watching this video was a very emotional experience for me. I am 76 and have successfully owned my own businesses for over 60 years. I've never worked a 5 day week, or an 8 hour day...7 day business weeks and 12 hour days are a normal part of my life, and I've enjoyed every minute of it and had so much satisfaction building a life on hard work and high business standards and values. You should be very proud of what you've achieved in such a short time. You obviously have a great deal of woodworking and organisational skill, please work just as hard to become a great manager of money and an amazing marketing man. I have lost count of the people I've known over the years who were very talented at producing things, but useless at operating their businesses...with failure as an end result. And by the way, you've got the cutest little girl on TH-cam.
I want to tell you something coming from a man in the trade some 45 years, and I have set up 3 shops in the process: "You have been doing a phenomenal job of filming along with all the other things you have had to do." Many other people will have no idea of the logistics you have had to do and attend to just to get this far. NO, you are doing a GREAT JOB OF WORK AND FILMING. BRAVO KD "IMPRESSIVE"
No joke, wish we had an in depth video on those logistics. Because that’s where the secrets are!! With that said I understand why there may not be, but that’s what’s missing on TH-cam! Love the detail you give in your videos though, can’t wait to start my own.
Kris, im a chiropractor and specialize in only treating patients in detox centers. I mainly see young kids between ages 18-26 and always show them your page. I think its important to show them how someone can take a hobby or passion and turn into into a career. One in which youre the boss,owner and make your own schedule and control your future. My patients all love what you do and are impressed by how far you have taken your business. I wish you were in los angeles because i would have loved to bring them to see what you do to help inspire them to find whatever it is that makes their hearts burn and find out how to take it to the next level and stop using drugs. Keep up the great work. Ill definitely be sharing this video as well
This really touched me Elad. I don't know what to say. I'm at a loss with having this kind of meaning to people. Thank you for the kind words and best of luck with helping others.
@@KrisDeVo Im a growing entrepreneur myself so i try to motivate them by showing them that im doing it. Not much needed to say, just keep doing what youre doing... FYI ive watched so many of these videos that i motivated myself to start doing it as a weekend hobby to help me de-stress so im learning all about how to do cutting boards, epoxy projects and charcuterie boards as well. Ill hopefully try my first project soon.
I thought to myself “I’ll just check out some tech news and then play some games before bed”. An hour later … and it’s nearly bedtime in the UK. It was worth it Kris. I really enjoyed seeing you build the Big Shop business (literally) from start to finish. You and your family have worked so hard for this moment 🍻 👍
I can only imagine how long this took to edit. Thanks for documenting the whole thing, in the midst of all the other work you've got on your plate. You put together a great story! Keep building brand
Love you, Kris! You're an inspiration. I've got my hobby wood shop up and running now. Thanks for teaching me so much! My best to your wife and family.
My man, you earned all this. So so proud of you. So happy to see you have your own shop!!! May it bring lots and lots of success in your life and your family's well-being!
From a custom furniture/fine cabinetry maker since the early 80's to you sir, Congrats on your accomplishments in this very fulfilling field. I recall watching one of your vids when you were still in the garage, before you had taken the leap to go full time with it. I didn't realize you were up in Alaska!
Cheers again from the French Quarter in New Orleans! I am retired now, and use textile as MY work material. In the past two years have made dolls, tote bags, pillows and now I am working on some tiny hats (3 1/2" across!). The felt fabric is recycled plastic bottles. The whole rebirth and re-use notion warms my heart. And I never miss a chance to tell people about, "hey don't throw that away, it might be re-made into a..." BTW Your work is phenomenal. Really love watching things come to life under your hands....
Thank you for including us in your journey, Kris. Your faith and hard work are an inspiration. You have a beautiful family and I wish and pray for your continued success. God Bless You and Your Family.
Wow, what a ton of work! I’m so happy to see you get all this up and running. You’ve inspired my wife and me with our small woodworking business. Thanks!
I was just thinking about your channel the other day wondering when you were going to reveal the new shop and you put out a video today. I wish you and your family all the luck and happiness. You work wonders with the beautiful wood you choose for the boards. God bless!
I can not believe the work you have done to get your shop set up. Fantastic that you were able to film and upload while doing all that. Thanks so much for sharing your story!!
Congratulations Kris. You've been an inspiration to me. I'm still trying to build my 1 1/2 car shop. You deserve all your success. I'm sure your family is proud of you to. Keep up the great work.
I'm so happy for you guys!! I'v been following you for a long time and everything you have produced is nothing but quality! You deserve all the good things that are happening to you! I wish you good luck in your new place and I hope to see you produce and grow in the coming years!!! Greetings from Greece!
As I see, you really made it! I'm a little late to the game. My dad was a tree cutter/wood worker. And lately I miss him (it's been a long time since we could see each other). The sound of the buzz saw is so comforting!
So stinkin' happy for you! I just watched this entire video 🤣 I've no interest in woodworking until your videos. Most importantly your doing it! An entrepreneur that got it done! Applause!!! You're so inspiring and the quality of your work is bar none! 🥰🙏🤗💥
I absolutely loved the video. You should be so proud of yourself for all you do for your family. It actually gives me a renewd motivation to get my own life moving forward again. Really best of luck and keep the faith.
This literally brought a tear to my eye. You and your family are really living the American dream and I love that you are sharing it and letting us come along for the ride. This is what an entrepreneurial spirit can accomplish in a free country that embraces this spirit…it’s what built our country! It’s hard work, comes with so much sacrifice….but the rewards are immeasurable. I wish only the best for you as you continue to build your business.
Kris, Congratulations! Having ordered your cutting boards a few years ago for gifts I can speak to the superb quality of your product. You've been passionate about making boards since a kid and I am so happy to see this materialize into a business! You are inspiring and you deserve it! The sky is the limit for you.
Thank you so much E!! I really appreciate you. Because of your Christmas orders years ago I started to think maybe this could turn into more than a once a year hobby.
All I can say is just wow! Your work ethic, your skills, your sense of organization, your eye for design, your ingenuity, and your crafting are all just over-the-top amazing and then the fact that you took a small hobby and turned it into a full fledged business with savvy is beyond what I have seen before! Good job and good for you!! I pray you will have a wonderfully successful business and still have time for that precious family!! I have NO wood skills at all, (I’m a retired art teacher, artist, Children’s Church teacher, and tinkerer), but have just enjoyed your videos so much!! Some folks relax at day’s end with a movie, I watch your videos!! Thank you so much for sharing all you do! Just gorgeous pieces you create, but getting to watch you from start to finish is such a huge bonus!! My favorite part of this video? Those rolly things you made to put all your heavy equipment on so you can move it all around! Genius!!
Just watching your videos for the first time. You have so much passion for the work that you put out! Congrats on all your success. Enjoy it a little with your adorable family. Loved when you measured the snowfall by putting your daughter in the snow up to her waist!! I'm hooked on watching you make sawdust!!!!
Love the content and showing all the details behind the scenes. The small details are what we want to see, because there are a million videos about wood working. But it's the journey and the emotions that make a good story. I hope some day they can figure out how to make wood working tools that don't weight 447 pounds. I just got a 12" radial arm saw, and 7 other radial arm saws. The 12" saw has to be completely disassembled to be moved, but that's the beauty of a radial arm saw, they are very easy to take apart. I think there is some merit in a tool being light enough to move around all by yourself, or at least some way of being disassembled and moved. Tools that can't be moved, are basically useless for a home hobbyist. The trailer hitch dolly was smart!
Hi, i'm from Indonesia. I'm a wood worker too. From my experience,the most important thing is "Don't be Sick"! keep Healthy. Take Care and God Bless You
This is amazing dude. I just want to say congratulations on your accomplishments thus far. I'm really happy for you. I'm also trying to get into the game as well. By seeing you accomplish as much as you have within a short time, makes me believe that I can also do the same. Thank you so much for you sharing your journey with us. You are doing an amazing job buddy bravo. 👏 may God keep you on the path to riches that you & your family deserves.
you're an amazing man, I've been thinking a lot nowadays about opening a woodshop for cutting board, that's how I got to your video, I live in the Middle East in Amman Jordan, I'm a chef and a seaman, and I'm now calculating the expenses needed to start my project your videos are lit man, I'd be happy to see more coming big respect from Jordan
I don't do woodworking. I don't own a business. I can however, imagine the joy you experienced getting this all set up. There are tools that I never even knew existed! Thanks for the tour!
This is such a good story and such an inspiration to me - I'm just about to start my own wood turning business and TH-cam channel - much smaller scale than you but it's wonderful to see your hard work and dedication pay off - your boards look awesome too!
I couldn't be prouder of a person. I have watched from the beginning and the same demeanor and humility has been in existence throughout! You absolutely deserve the best. 🙏🏿💪🏿
This has been suck a amazing story. I can’t wait to see you blow it completely out. I believe that the shop will not be large enough in less than 2 years because the demand for the real quality cutting board will skyrocket
Man, this is awesome! You did so much more then I expected, I thought you would just get a bigger Space to work in, but man you've gone full out professional now. Huge Respect! I wish you good Luck and I'm very excited for new Videos!
Kris, I hope your dream continues to come true. You are clearly diligent, hardworking, resilient, and earn it everyday. Blessings to you, your wife and little one.
Just started my own woodworks. Its a Hobby right now. But all my projects will be Christ centric. But, you have taught me sooooooo much. So, I pray that God keep Blessing your business and your family, Amen. Have a good one Kris.
So good to see you back on the Tubes! Congrats on growing your business! Let me know if you're looking to liquidate some pipe clamps! Shipping to GA may be prohibitive, but I might be interested. You should be the talk of the town with all those new tools!
Congratulations Kris, I love your story. I'm rooting and praying for you and your family, both for a successful life and business. Should have contacted WD-40 Company (true Company name) and explained your problem. Then maybe you could have purchased WD-40 by the gallons or at least joint venture clean up of your racks.
Kris we wish you all the very best for a truly successful future- what an amazing business from hobby to manufacturing in such a short time- always remember the saying- work smarter not harder.
I've set up several shops in my life, from 2000 sq ft to 74000 sq ft. It really is amazing how much effort it takes. No matter how much planning goes into it, there are always things that pop up that you weren't counting on/didn't plan for. In the beginning, because of my shoestring budget, I did pretty much all the work myself but at some point, as the shops got bigger, that would have been impossible. Fortunately, in those larger shops, I had the resources in both money and personnel allocated to get it done. You did a phenomenal job. I'm sure it will all be worth it in the end.
Kris, I live in France, I haven't bougth any cutting board for the moment but what I can say is that you are making a crazy amount of work, and a really good one :) Your products are amazing !
Kris, I have to tell you, you are one amazing person. not only for making amazing cutting boards in that very small garage, but for having the foresight to put together this new amazing huge shop. I can just tell you are going to be very successful. Great family man too, love your videos. You deserve this Kris, amazing products.
A big compliment to what you produce here.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The super workshop is simply thought through down to the last detail. The order and the top tools are simply a feast for the eyes. The end product is a work of art from you and nature. I wish your family and your whole team continued success and good health. From Switzerland, Pino 👍
Kris, I am such a huge fan. Nothing but love for you my man. You are an inspiration, and I loved all 57 minutes of this work of art of a video that you've made.
Kris, I remember your video in the garage with your daughter and wife. Life is good when dreams come true such as yours. Not many can say (I'm living the dream) congrats on your success and God bless you and your family. 👍🍻✌🍺👊👏👍🍻✌🍺👏👊🍻🎂👍✌🍺👊👏🎂👍✌🍺🎂🍦👏👊🍺✌👍🎂🎂🍦🍦🍦👏
Kris, when you deliver, you DELIVER! Really great video. You have clearly found what you were meant to do. I wish you boundless success and well earned prosperity.
Kris.... Once again your skills are on display for us. What an amazing inspiration you are for so many people. Your craftsmanship is remarkable, your work ethic is astonishing, your drive is relentless, and your ability to share it in the videos is fantastic... To top it all off, you are a gentle giant of a father. Your daughter hugging the band saw was priceless. Your videos are as good as any documentary .. the 6 month wait for one is well worth it. You deserve all the success you are making for yourself. Whenever anyone tells you that you are "lucky" to have what you do, just know that luck had nothing to do with it. Your hard work, skills, time, effort, bravery and loving support of your wife is what produced all that "luck"....can't wait for the next one. Congratulations on all of it
Wow dude, my heart would be pounding from a combination of excitement and fear! I can't believe you've come this far from humble beginnings. Way to go! :D
Was a lovely surprise to get this video on my feed having followed your story from a year ago. I am so glad for you and your lovely family. Greetings from Sweden.
I have been watching your journey for a while. I could not be happier for you mate. Truly you deserve this and for your business to grow. Great beautiful products and a good family. Take care and keep it going. You are awesome
Hi again Kris from England, I have followed all your videos of your journey, Congratulations and wishing you and your family all the success in the world with the new Manufacturing factory. You have done a excellent job of kitting it all out it looks fantastic. My god you put your life and sole in to the work getting it finished off, I just wished I could have been your neighbour to have give you a hand. When I seen the massive job you had preparing and painting the partition walls my heart went out to you. I absolutely love your products and love watching the process of making them. Now the hard work is done hope you get some quality time with your lovely wife and adorable little girl. Look forward to next video keep up the excellent work you do.
Kris, I am speechless. The insane amount of work you have done ...wow. You deserve all the success you achieve. I have nothing but the upmost respect for you, your work ethic, dedication and drive. The sacrifice alone away from your family.....will show great results in the end (it has already). You are an inspiration!!
Y’all have come a long way friends! God take care of good people! Beautiful family, adorable daughter! Very proud to see someone like y’all make the successful road a good one. But, it was you and your hard work! Not all of us out here. Appreciative of the humbleness you have towards all of us but we have to give it right back because you have put in all that hard work of a TH-cam channel and all the headaches it takes to give us the final videos and on top of that having the knowledge, DEDICATION and all the hard working hours you have put into your business. We just sit here and enjoy your videos and help you if we can. Props to your wife for the work she has shared with you and keeping you anchored while you two have made this journey a good one. Congratulations from Alabama. Can’t wait to see more videos friend! 🙃
You are an awesome example of the American Dream Kris. Hard work is it’s own reward and I’m sure success in your new venture will follow. Truly inspiring, thanks for sharing the journey so far…
keep it up your family must be so proud, especially your little girl! go daddy! great job great passion, may all your dreams come true and more. God Bless your family and your endeavors

Ur in Alaska so why so high? Looks like it’d be a bear to heat

Man, this is awesome! You did so much more then I expected, I thought you would just get a bigger Space to work in, but man you've gone full out professional now. Huge Respect! I wish you good Luck and I'm very excited for new Videos!
Really appreciate that Linguinix thank you!
Kris, I hope your dream continues to come true. You are clearly diligent, hardworking, resilient, and earn it everyday. Blessings to you, your wife and little one.
Thank you Jason!
Just started my own woodworks. Its a Hobby right now. But all my projects will be Christ centric. But, you have taught me sooooooo much. So, I pray that God keep Blessing your business and your family, Amen. Have a good one Kris.
So good to see you back on the Tubes! Congrats on growing your business! Let me know if you're looking to liquidate some pipe clamps! Shipping to GA may be prohibitive, but I might be interested. You should be the talk of the town with all those new tools!
Thank you David! Wouldn't be worth shipping but I'm going to save them for projects that wont fit in the rack.
Nice shop Kris. I started a workshop in my basement about a year ago. Your new and used tools are a dream for me. God bless and enjoy.
Congratulations Kris, I love your story. I'm rooting and praying for you and your family, both for a successful life and business.
Should have contacted WD-40 Company (true Company name) and explained your problem. Then maybe you could have purchased WD-40 by the gallons or at least joint venture clean up of your racks.
Appreciate that Ken! I did use about 10 cans or so
Kris we wish you all the very best for a truly successful future- what an amazing business from hobby to manufacturing in such a short time- always remember the saying- work smarter not harder.
Good reminder thanks Michael!
This could not be happening to a better family and a true craftsman at the helm. Bravo!
I know nothing about woodwork but watching someone work hard and create something is fascinating. And you seem a top bloke too.
Thank you Will!
You (and your family) should know that you're an inspiration beyond limits. Thx.
Thank you Stiff Wood!
Oh the joys of having the right tools and shop to put them in. Well done for all that work and success.
You are a hard worker Kris! Don't ever let anyone tell you you're not! Congratulations!
Thank you Jeff!
My Goodness the amount of work and Money is Staggering! Awesome Shop Kris...
You've managed to do what most of us in the world of woodworking have tried to do. Earn a living from our hobby. Well done.
I've set up several shops in my life, from 2000 sq ft to 74000 sq ft. It really is amazing how much effort it takes. No matter how much planning goes into it, there are always things that pop up that you weren't counting on/didn't plan for. In the beginning, because of my shoestring budget, I did pretty much all the work myself but at some point, as the shops got bigger, that would have been impossible. Fortunately, in those larger shops, I had the resources in both money and personnel allocated to get it done. You did a phenomenal job. I'm sure it will all be worth it in the end.
I really appreciate that Roger. Sounds like you were in this same place at one point in time. Hope to get there someday. Cheers
I remember your 1st video. I cannot tell you how happy and proud of you i am. You're amazing. All the best to you and your family.
Thank you Dustin!
Kris, you are amazing. Life your dream! Everything doing yourself is so impressiv. Go on Self-made men.
Thank you Bob!
Thank you for showing the process. I now understand better how to care for my wood cutting board.
Kris, I live in France, I haven't bougth any cutting board for the moment but what I can say is that you are making a crazy amount of work, and a really good one :) Your products are amazing !
Kris, I have to tell you, you are one amazing person. not only for making amazing cutting boards in that very small garage, but for having the foresight to put together this new amazing huge shop. I can just tell you are going to be very successful. Great family man too, love your videos. You deserve this Kris, amazing products.
Thank you!
Greetings from Russia, I express my great respect for your work. I wish you and your family success!
Awesome Kris, love your videos, love what your doing. As hard as you work though, you've earned a M-F work week. Take care of you Kris.
Fantastic amount of work.
This is why kickstart is great.
You deserve all the joy.
Thank you!
OMG, cleaning fibers/hairs off the paint roller with tape.... Mind blown! Nice work Kris, your shop and new endeavors are something to be proud of!
Someone got it, thank you Andy!
A big compliment to what you produce here.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The super workshop is simply thought through down to the last detail. The order and the top tools are simply a feast for the eyes. The end product is a work of art from you and nature. I wish your family and your whole team continued success and good health. From Switzerland, Pino 👍
Kris, I am such a huge fan. Nothing but love for you my man. You are an inspiration, and I loved all 57 minutes of this work of art of a video that you've made.
Thank you Erik!
Living the life you want...doing what you love
Keep going! You're doing beautifully
Kris, I remember your video in the garage with your daughter and wife. Life is good when dreams come true such as yours. Not many can say (I'm living the dream) congrats on your success and God bless you and your family. 👍🍻✌🍺👊👏👍🍻✌🍺👏👊🍻🎂👍✌🍺👊👏🎂👍✌🍺🎂🍦👏👊🍺✌👍🎂🎂🍦🍦🍦👏
Thank you! Cheers
I watched the video of you working in your garage maybe 2 years ago. It's so great to see you moving forward!!!! Best of luck.
Congrats with the new shop from Denmark. Your daughter is just the sweetest.
Thank you so much Peter!
Kris, when you deliver, you DELIVER! Really great video. You have clearly found what you were meant to do. I wish you boundless success and well earned prosperity.
Thank you Barrett!!
Wow! I did not realize how many different tools and heavy machinery one needs in a wood shop.! Best of luck!
Kris.... Once again your skills are on display for us. What an amazing inspiration you are for so many people. Your craftsmanship is remarkable, your work ethic is astonishing, your drive is relentless, and your ability to share it in the videos is fantastic... To top it all off, you are a gentle giant of a father. Your daughter hugging the band saw was priceless. Your videos are as good as any documentary .. the 6 month wait for one is well worth it. You deserve all the success you are making for yourself. Whenever anyone tells you that you are "lucky" to have what you do, just know that luck had nothing to do with it. Your hard work, skills, time, effort, bravery and loving support of your wife is what produced all that "luck"....can't wait for the next one. Congratulations on all of it
That really means a lot to me Travis thank you! Hope you guys are doing well.
Kris, your video is an inspiration to me, thank you so much to share your journey with us! God bless you and your wonderful family.
Thank you!
Wow dude, my heart would be pounding from a combination of excitement and fear! I can't believe you've come this far from humble beginnings. Way to go! :D

Hi again Kris from England, I have followed all your videos of your journey, Congratulations and wishing you and your family all the success in the world with the new Manufacturing factory.
You have done a excellent job of kitting it all out it looks fantastic.
My god you put your life and sole in to the work getting it finished off, I just wished I could have been your neighbour to have give you a hand. When I seen the massive job you had preparing and painting the partition walls my heart went out to you.
I absolutely love your products and love watching the process of making them.
Now the hard work is done hope you get some quality time with your lovely wife and adorable little girl.
Look forward to next video keep up the excellent work you do.

Y’all have come a long way friends!
God take care of good people!
Beautiful family, adorable daughter!
Very proud to see someone like y’all make the successful road a good one. But, it was you and your hard work! Not all of us out here. Appreciative of the humbleness you have towards all of us but we have to give it right back because you have put in all that hard work of a TH-cam channel and all the headaches it takes to give us the final videos and on top of that having the knowledge, DEDICATION and all the hard working hours you have put into your business. We just sit here and enjoy your videos and help you if we can.
Props to your wife for the work she has shared with you and keeping you anchored while you two have made this journey a good one.
Congratulations from Alabama.
Can’t wait to see more videos friend!
🙃
Thank you Day Trader!
You are an awesome example of the American Dream Kris. Hard work is it’s own reward and I’m sure success in your new venture will follow. Truly inspiring, thanks for sharing the journey so far…
Absolutely positively the best ever TH-cam wall hanging plaque - for sure it's the best looking one of them all!
Keep up your terrific imagination!
Thank you D J! Much appreciated!
