This is my dream. A nice property, a shop next to my house and a loving family to come home to

I've quit my good-paying job as an engineer and started doing woodworking which I do in the shop at the back of my house. I have never been happier!

You've played the game of life very well Sir, good health to you and yours! :)

I’m moving my shop into a 12’ x 24’ shed… it’s kinda small, but way more space than I’m used too. I just wanted to tell you that I enjoyed your video. You sir, are living my dream. That’s a beautiful home/land/shop you have there. I’m 58 and retired due to health reasons. They recently found six tumors on my liver and both kidneys. I hope to have about 5 years left, and plan on living out the rest of my days in my shop. It is, my happy place… I love it so much. I hope this msg finds you in good health. I just wanted to say “hi”. Take care sir. 🤝🏻

I always said it was a shame they removed woodshop, welding, and mechanics shop from schools. Imagine how many more kids could be introduced to the world of crafting or how many wouldn't be craftsman today if they didnt off them back In the day. It's sad they remove the fun parts of school and just teach to pass a test

This guy is literally living my dream. And I only live about an hour from him!

Ed is a great friend, amazing craftsman, and mentor. If you are lucky in life, you meet a person who changes your life in the most positive and inspiring way, Ed is that to me. Michael

What an inspiration...

Living the dream! Great story, I’m retired after being a welder, fabricator and machinist for 36 years and now spend most of my days woodworking which has always been a passionate hobby of mine for as long as I can remember. It’s great to see someone who loves what they do. There’s something extra special about working with and building with wood!

Working with wood is like therapeutic treatment for your mind.

Simply wonderful.

What a pleasure to watch. A true craftsman.

A genius with a sense of humor.

wtf the quality of this documentary is incredible.

I’m lucky enough to do the exact same thing in England. I love my life and consider myself very lucky.

unbelievable video....this is art

This poor, sad world needs more beautiful souls like Edward to give it more light. What an inspiration. Thank you os much for sharing.

Your love goes into your work and it shows !

294 thumbs down, wow!!! Have we lost our sense of appreciation for amazing work and dedication to art?

You live a tranquil life in a beautiful place, sir. You are blessed.

This is beautiful, thank you for this video

Mr Wohl, you are a true artist and craftsman.

I love the concept of perfection and smoothness everywhere, even in hidden areas. It makes it organic to me.

Winning at life. Well played dude.

Thank you KZfaq algorithm for showing me Eric and his craft in this wholesome video.

You are definitely an Artist. Great eyes and great hands. What style.

The secret to life is happiness. Clearly you are there. I only hope I get there to.

And he still has all his fingers!

Love the Manuel Drafting design no computer. Pen and paper there is something special to that. Great video thanks for the insight!

Oh lucky man! Your smile says it all.

Love the sticker that says “ I would rather be reading Bukowski” Haha awesome man... your art is impeccable.. gorgeous.

I like everything about this short film.

What a thoroughly wonderful, talented, and happy man.

Thank you for adding such an insightful, gentle and challenging video. Ed's philosophy is so sound and it's been great for me to see it at a time when I'm considering directions for myself and my family. What a pleasure - if only 1% of views on the 'Tube were of pieces of this quality and soundness, humanity may experience a somewhat marked improvement! Many regards from Sydney, Aust - Dave

I feel that smile on his face after he finishes the lamp he made. Feels so good to complete something

This is called a passionate living Wish i could be the same God bless you Edward Sir

And after decades of doing the same thing, his work still makes him smile. Love this man!

Awesome!

Beautiful 💖

What a great way of looking at life. Lovely sense of humour.

i watch this video like every few months, never fails to put a smile on my face. the more the world gets littered with nondescript, garbage office jobs in figuratively obese companies, the more i get fascinated with people who have actual skills...

Inspirational. Thank you.

Beautiful work Mr Wohl and a beautiful story of your life and family.

Who could ever give this a thumbs down . It made me feel good watching it !

I'm a big FAN!!!...way to go Edward

excellent video and good luck to the old guy. What a gentleman.

I actually just picked up a nice pair of Whol's sandwhich boards from a local fine arts shop in St. Paul. very nicely done pieces, smooth and just texturally nice.

God bless you and your family. You’re the luckiest man on earth. It doesn’t get better than how you have it. Ciao !

thank you for this zen break in my workday - this was better than meditating. Your shop is so clean. Beautiful designs and wood. Great life, congratulations!

I had the same experience growing up - always got a bang out of building things. I built a scooter to ride to first grade on the first day. This is my 52 year being a carpenter - remodeler. I really enjoyed your video and the quality of your work.

Beautiful story, excellent cinematography, and very inspiring work.

What an absolute joy. Greetings and peace from England.

That much smoothness! means how much you put your heart on that piece of wood! Loved it! Really inspiring story! :)

Simply beautiful, both the man and his work.

Living my dream...great video, i will watch it again!

very nicely done. Congrats

RESPECT Sir. The world could do with a few more people who fill it with beautiful things.

I loved his lifestyle, he is a great inspiration for me now!

Mr Wohl - you are living my life! :-) Give it back! I am very jealous on one hand, and very happy for you on the other. What a life you have - it is perfect. I too work with my wife all day every day, and I agree, there is no better way to work. You are a model for how to do it right Mr Wohl. Thank you!

He stated, at the beginning of the video, just about everything a woodworker has ever thought :). Perfect.

That made me smile throughout. A pleasure to see someone when there work is their joy 😊

Beautiful video, enjoyed it very much!

A true craftsman. All the best to you!

GENIUS, THE CURVE OF THOSE CHAIRS SEEMS SOFT AND STRONG, LOVE LOVE LOVE EVERY PIECE, THE CUTTING BOARD HAVE ROUND EDGES TOO, SOO AUTHENTIC, LOVE ALL THE CURVES. THANKS FOR THE CLIP.

Loved every moment, especially the large racket for the finale shot ( I laughed so hard I woke my roommate), I will continue to observe and learn, thank you good sir

Great life story, well told. Thanks for sharing!

What a nice life you live. Simple peaceful living.

Simply beautiful ❤️

How many of you want a birds eye maple cutting board now?

After tons of amateurish woodworks clogging the KZfaq algorithm I finally get to see a true craftsman. This guy is up there with the likes of Sam Maloof and James Krenov. Very inspiring. Guys like this drives me to be the best I can be at everything I do, whether it's working or making knives. I hope to have property and a nice little shop someday.

Awesome very inspirational God bless you and your family ❤

I so admire people who have the talent and resolve to create something. Last time I made something was a wood duck for my father in 4th or 5th grade. Four decades later he still has it in his living room.

You have a beautiful place and a awesome shop !

this may look like a dream, but it's hard work. hard work you will never be able to endure, much less enjoy, unless it's really your essence. finding your essence in life, that's the tricky part.

Hehe~ YT recommended this to me again, glad to re-watch it! After watching this for the first time a few years back, I started using his furniture designs as reference for my freelance whenever I need woodwork-like assets in it.. his works just have so much character to it, quality craftsmanship~

We share a lot in common. My introduction to woodworking was 7th grade shop as well. Throughout my professional schooling as a dentist my dream was always to have my own woodworking shop. Fortunately, I love my profession as a dentist... it has many similarities to woodworking and has allowed me to build my dream shop a piece at a time. I'm never done making it better. Thanks for sharing your story. I know you are a happy person for following your true passion!

This guy is more energetic than me, running around, playing tennis like that... And I'm only 19...

When I retired I bounced around looking for something to do. I recalled that the most fun I had in school was wood shop, in the 7th grade. i realized that college and I weren't made for each other. But I have no sense of design. I made a pool cue and fell in love with birds eye maple. I was very fortunate to find a small house on twenty acres in the mountains that i could afford. Funny how life works.

Great time capsule on a few levels🎨 thanks for sharing the journey

Thank you to the Producer of this video and Mr. Wohl for sharing your passion for woodworking. Your pieces are, by far, the most beautiful I've ever seen. What a lovely gift....

"Why don't you just build it? I didn't need any more encouragement than that." Love it.

Who thumbs down videos like these? I'm mean really! It's pure bliss and inspiration. Can't give a big enough hug for all the joy I'm feeling. A tip of the hat to you, good sir!!

His work is AMAZING. Absolutely beautiful. Wow.

Lovely life you have created! Inspirational!

I want to be Edward when I grow up........

I was in NYC recently and went to a Museum (not gonna embarass myself by guessing which one) and there was a Frank Lloyd Wright room and the level of craftsmanship and wood working was amazing. i pondered who could do this today...clearly there are still some master craftsmen out there.

I love the fact he is so humble and mentions his mentor that taught him the trade.

Thank you - to the wood masters and to those who so beautifully captured the spirit of what he and they are doing, to share with us, with me. It takes a smooth heart to make smooth wood. It takes a warm heart to make wood warm and bless the spirit in a person. Intellect meets imagination; imagination brings art; God provides the love and the means. So it is when we follow our heart. Blessings to you each. Thank you from a Michigan neighbor.

Every man deserves his own house a workshop and his own tennis court.....

His internal contentment shows in his work.....

Everything superb! Bravo people for immortalizing this in such a beautiful way!

A true master wood worker

What a pleasant guy. Enjoyable video, thanks.

That sketching table is amazing! Edward, can you be my father?

Rest in Peace Mr. Wohl.... Your style and work is legendary. I always come to this video to sneak and look at your inventions and get inspiration for ideas.... Your lifelong craftmanship of the Art will forever be unmatched. I'm absolutely sure they have a shop in Heaven and you are surrounded by "thee" best our World has ever known.

Quite frankly the most beautiful wood work that I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing Matt.

- Is an old time woodworker. - Has all fingers - Instant win.

Somehow this video feels alot if wes Anderson in it.

I will love to own this masterpiece 💕how perfect all the details are just love it👌

I just had to google Edward to see if he is still with us. He is. What a man; what an encouragement to me to leave my world of big airliners and do something with my hands (badly at first, I'm sure). Thanks, Ed.
