Kris, I am watching your videos from Germany and can only express my sincere appreciation and respect for the content you publish. There is a) your attention to detail and quality. It is so much more enjoyable to see quality happening. Then there is the b) the amount of repetitive work that you carry out. You present it in a format that allows me to see the hours you put in without getting bored by it. And last there is c) your excitement at the end of the home-stretch. You make it look like it was nothing, but everyone knows that what you do means pain, hard work and countless long late hours. Thank you for doing what you do, filming it and putting it on YT. You deserve nothing but likes, subscriptions and countless customers who order your products!

I love the long forms watching you work so hard. You sir are what small business is all about. You’re an inspiration to anyone and everyone. Your heart and soul is in it to win it from beginning to end. I get choked up seeing how beautiful your products turn out. Keep up the great work you do. Yes passions turn into a full time job but then become a passion again later in life. Daily grinds are always a toll on the mind, body, and soul, but always the ends justify the means. Seeing the smiles on faces of customers that send you videos are what it’s all about. I’ll be checking out your website soon and regardless how long I’ve to wait I want a piece of history from you regardless how often I use it because when I look at it I’ll know a true craftsman is and was passionate about his work. Thank you.

Finally! Someone who makes a point, and art! of bookmatching endgrain. I've watched so many craftsmen do their thing and, unless its a waterfall end or veneered cupboards/drawer fronts, it always leaves my slightly disappointed that people don't take that extra step showcasing the beauty of the wood through symmetry. It's so subtle I dont realise how disappointed I am, until the disappointment hits. Watching this mans work and seeing the end result makes all previous disappointment fade away. Thank you for sharing your craft and vision, it is greatly appreciated 👍

If you haven't looked into it yet some companies make these foam "suspenders" that can fit certain dimensions. I'm sure you could order them for your standard sized boards to ensure greater protection and efficiency. You are truly inspiring to watch.
