Hey Sam, about your "meter or CM or MM" question: The standard is mm or meter in building/carpenter world. However, the sizes you work with would in whole centimeters, saving you the need to switch between them. It's a bit uncommon, but a lot easier for you and us metric people can switch easily between them. 6ft->180cm will work just fine. Milimeters are fine

@Vaterkrater Жыл бұрын

I heard they use tape measures (and building plans) with only mm in Australia. Supposedly reduces waste significantly.

@endofradio3507 Жыл бұрын

In my experience (UK), 'cm' are only used by school kids, you'd get laughed at for using anything other than 'mm' and 'm' in industry.

@MrMrXtra Жыл бұрын

a carpenter usually measures in mm at all times, atleast in sweden. u dont want any decimals involved

@Devi0urS0ul Жыл бұрын

I agree, but cm is easier as allrounder. A slab sized 18000mm is a bit much, explaining when to use m, cm or mm is difficult because we switch naturally between them, but putting it into words is hard. Using cm as a global default is easier to do and all of us mentally switch to m or mm internally :)

@MaximEck96 Жыл бұрын

Use whatever you want that's the point of the Si unit system... Easy to convert to one from another unit 👍👌 1m =10dm =100cm =1000mm I thinkthat multiplying by 10 is accessible to anyone in the world 😉 But engineering units are basically mm or m depending on the size.

Sam I really enjoy your commentary. Your channel is not boring. I’ve learned quite a bit from you. I really appreciate how you go about introducing the project working through problems. It really has been a lot of fun to watch. Good job keep it up.

I was given a small chunk of live edge redwood that had been (mostly) epoxy sealed some years ago (similar to the one you reattached). I mostly sanded that off and turned it into a multi section dish, then added a similar hard wax finish. it turned out really nice!

Hey Sam, that is an incredible project, love the raw edge and that little extra! The cut it is does add to it’s story. I love this piece. You always do incredible work.

Sam, I am just watching this and trying to catch up to all of your amazing projects. I am amazed at your creativity. Furniture and cabinet building is certainly, but what you do is a quantum leap beyond.

Sam, love the neurotic attention to detail. I’m very high resolution as well and it’s so rewarding seeing someone able to make a living out of zooming in on things like you do! Respect

Hi Sam. The bow tie jig looked brilliant. Well done you. The wall piece is extraordinary. I am always so impressed with the quality and beauty of your finished work. I am not a woodworker…mostly due to a lack space. I am a fine artist and I watch your videos because your process and the works you create are a good example of top-notch studio practice. Thanks. Looking forward to the next build.

Sam, I thoroughly enjoy your work. I could never do anything like what you do. I live my life through your videos. Keep up the fantastic work.

Sam, I have been amazed at the work you do. This redwood wall piece turned out VERY NICELY. I don't work with woods, i watch for the beautiful results and incredible ingenuity with which you accomplish these fine art "wood sculptures." Also, its much more relaxing than real ASMR! Best wishes for continued success !

Sam, I've had that exact osmo finish on my kitchen countertop for 7 years and my living room floor for 5 years with no issues and it has held up really well.

I think he just didn't put it on thick enough , it's literally wax and natural oil so no reason why it wouldn't hold up perfect

Sam, that was so awesome, I've lived close to those trees when I was little and have gone through the middle of the giant red wood forest as an adult. I've always thought those trees were beautiful and you brought out that slab's true color. Thank you for the video, and yes I did subscribed to receive more videos of your work. Can't wait to see more.

Sam I was never into this kind of home projects until I stumbled across your videos and have to say I'm hooked. Love your work and can't wait to start my first project. Sean from Whitby Ontario.

Sam. Your work is absolutely amazing. I have shared your channel with everyone I know that owns a handsaw. I’m a dentist And obviously appreciate the details and exacting workmanship. I have always wanted a woodworking shop but couldn’t risk an injury to a digit. Hopefully one day soon. Meantime I am thoroughly enjoying your craftsmanship.

Hi Sam. I climbed Redwood trees as a kid when I lived in California. Redwood trees are amazing and the work you put into it was outstanding. Thank you for your video.

Sam - love the finished product. I could just put me a nice comfortable chair in the center of the room and stare at it all day. Absolutely beautiful and you did a fabulous job.

"Sam", I'm sure this is an older video but first time I have seen it. I have seen this piece on your wall for some time now and thoroughly enjoyed your prep process for this piece. Your game has really improved since you've got your full time video/assistant. Keep up the good work. Love your videos!
