Really loving your work, each of your projects has a little something that's original but that I'd never have thought of in a month of Sundays. This job has the door catch, so simple, effective and utterly right. The informality approach is refreshing too. Thanks John.

Love this build. I ended up making one for myself out of a old dorm refrigerator that died. I ripped out the small freezer part and attached the light bulb up top, and the thermostat at the bottom. The seal on the fridge holds the heat in very nicely! Thanks for the tip.

Always find your videos informative John! I enjoy your honesty and straight forward approach. Stay true to yourself.

No matter how you format a video I'm still inspired! Keep it up brother! ...and thank you for the time you spend to complete a well made video.

I love all of Your videos john,I find myself waiting in anticipation every week ,I like them because your straight to the point no BS & they are real life scenarios & I can use little tips here & there in my work life . Thank you for all of your hard work & looking forward to the videos this year brings !,

Brilliant design! We are moving to Colorado and I filed this away as a must have...

As usual, John, you have an air of authenticity and your videos are always inspiring and informative. I have learned a lot from you. Keep up the good work!

Refreshing format John but I'm a big fan of all you do. Keep sharing with us.

Good video and good point John, I look forward to your videos and I've learned a lot from them, thanks for taking time out to make them!

You are a great guy John. Not to mention a mentor to me. You are one of the guys that I watch for each week. Sometimes stern, but I like that...no BS. I like it real, even if it's not all 'cheer'. Keep up your awesome and inspiring work. I also appreciate the message replies when I have a question for you. I really appreciate your work.

I'm glad you gave us a better look at your glue cabinet. I think it's a really cool idea!

Great idea John, I really enjoy watching your videos each week seeing your ideas/shop solutions. I plan on using your dust collection idea to set up my low end craftex dust collector!

I sure like that "spring clip" that holds the doors closed.

Great work John. Appreciate the effort.

Thanks for the details about the cabinet. It's a neat idea. I have an oil filled heater in my shop. The size, 99 sq. ft., allows my shop to stay relatively warm. I noticed that you have your throwing stars handy in case a mob attacks the shop. good thinking. I appreciate the informal impromptu videos. It keeps things real.

I don't know how I managed to miss this one as I try to watch all your videos. This is a really good idea and I will most definately try to make something like this.

Hey John, that was really great, short,sweet, and informative. good job. Keep going, it will be ok.

Good video John, looking forward to the next project.

Thank you for taking the time to add the Shop video. As with anything, if someone understands they don't have to watch. I have enjoyed your videos for a long time and agree with the growing up with your videos concept. At the same time, I always catch something different with each new presentation. I like this format and hope you keep it.

Nice cabinet. I like the informal format.

John, I completely agree with you about the charm being lost on some channels. I'm really pleased you made this video and I will continue to watch your future work with anticipation. Regards!

That's a great idea, and I really like the catch. It adds a little more woodworker "style" to the cabinet. Keep doing the explanation videos, I learn a lot more when the project builder answers the questions I don't even think about until later.

Great concept,hope too see more of these

I still find all your videos to be charming.

I like the newer more refined videos, you haven't lost anything except a surplus of, "uhmms" but have gained succinctness and clarity.

The heated cabinet is a great thing, very usefull - *_I take him!_*

Hi john, this is the first time I've seen your heated cabinet, I must say that's a great idea! Here in Scotland it doesn't get that cold, just wet but I keep my heating on in the workshop during the winter, it costs a fortune. I think I'll build my own cabinet for glue and stuff, enjoyed the video keep them coming, Malcolm.

I love your idea with the heated cabinet, simple but very effective. Not much that can go wring with a setup like this. When I am able to get back into my garage and get my shop set back up again, I plan on installing a french cleat system for the majority of my hand tools, I'm thinking I'll add this cabinet to that system, then I can just put it on a short extension cord and move it if I need to. I don't think you're in any danger of ever losing any subscribers, regardless of how you decide to do your videos. You do excellent projects and an excellent job of getting the information and details across to everyone. If they're just a bunch of clips that you've pasted together, or a fully edited video, I'm sure I speak for the majority of people that subscribe to your channel, we'll still be here and greatly appreciate them. Thank you again for taking the time to share your projects with us and help teach new things. Colin

Hey John, when I access my subscriptions on KZfaq, if you have a vid up, it's the first one I view. I always learn something new and enjoy you explain your thought process. Thanks!

keep up the good work John, i enjoy all your videos. looking forward to some home videos,

i like the idea of this new concept! it's easier than read comments! ;) greetings from Montevideo, Uruguay.

Just keep doing what your doing John that's why we keep watching. Take care.

I can only feel sorry for you with all that snow, I was in Nuffi about 15 years ago in summer it was cold enough for me then, we have had 4 days of over 40 deg C topping out at 47 so I have the reverse problem to you. Keep up the great work. Wayne in Australia

Great idea to keep the cabinet warm. I also like your comment about keeping things authentic. Many of us out here that aspire to be quality woodworkers get turned off by videos that look too professional. It's hard for us to believe we can reach such a level. Keep up the great work John, you are an inspiration.

Heisz John, I do not understand anything in English, but just I watch your videos now understand the main idea and is what matters. I follow your channel. Many thanks for sharing. (translated by Google)

Great info. Do as many videos of this type as you can.

I always enjoy your videos.. Nice work on your heated cabinet, keep doing what your doing take your time, I always look forward to your videos :) Regards from the uk Pete

I like your videos, your keeping it fun by doing the things you want to do.

Good thought about how professional your presentations have to be, and how much editing time you have to spend. Just make them clear and easy to understand--with lots of close shots showing detail for the beginner. Otherwise, I think you're right on track. You do a great job picking useful projects. By the way, I've been storing my paint cans under the sink in an extra bedroom. What a pain. I'll start my heated cabinet soon. Thanks!

Nice catch on the cabinet. For better air and heat circulation within the cabinet, a few holes in the shelves might help.Sort of like limber holes in the bilges of a boat.

Hi John, I for one am all for this type of video to run alongside your project film. It really works for me mate. N.

In the beginning yes this channel had that charm but i think i'm talking for a good chunk of us viewers when i say that we grew along side it and that whilst new subbers will see a different picture for us it's harder to distinguish since as i said we got accustomed to it video by video. As it is, i for one find this channel very good with good content and very nice videos. Also, nice snow. I haven't seen decent snow in ...well years.

I like the format John. Don't over think this. I can't speak for everyone but I watch certain wood working channels not just for the skills the presenters have but for their personalities too. Just be yourself and try have fun with it. You do a great job!

Thanks, love this format. As you say it real. I did not ask but the heated cabinet was something I was very interested in. I am going to you web site. John

John ... Thanks! I was going to send you a note asking for details on the heated cabinet, but I have been too busy shoveling snow!

John, I have been watching you since the beginning & (God willing & the creek don't rise to high) I'll be watching you till the end. All things change, evolutioin can be a good or bad thing, in your case it's a good thing. Keep it up. Marty

Good stuff as always, sir. :)

I like your style. The trouble is I cannot keep up with all the good ideas!

Hi, you'll never know how much I envy you, I live in Argentina and outside is 40°c, plus I love snowboarding, so seeing snow makes me wanna catch a fly right now. I like very much your work, I always learn something new, so thank you for that. I'll be waiting for your next video. BYE!!!

Hey John, Love the mix of formality and informality. For me, what's most valuable is the quality of your content and less about the production itself. High production certainly isn't a deterrent, but plays second fiddle. Not sure what others think, but that's my take. Keep up the good work.

I had a thought about the efficiency of the heated cabinet. Just like a freezer, the more you have in the cabinet, the more it will act as a thermal mass. The heat stored in the items in the cabinet will help maintain a consistent temperature.

I realise this is a very old video, but if someone wants to make a similar cabinet then I would recommend looking for a 120V "enclosure heater" rather than a light bulb. Enclosure heaters are essentially big resistors, and they are made to last for decades. You can get them at electrical supply places (they are used to keep electrical enclosures warm enough to deter condensation) or on Amazon.

I remember that in some of your vids in the beginning, you didnt even talk. Safe to say I have followed it a long time, and I like the progress. Its been getting better and better. Keep doing what you, dont be as 'productive' as it would seem necessary. Just soldier on, everything you design, is an inspiration to all of us here. Thanks for sharing (and, uhm, being human...😜)

Great new concept..The temp here in California right now outside is a sunny 86....yup 86.....

I for sure ensure this type of video John.

Do you have a link to your renovation channel? I am very interested to see that. Thanks for your great videos.

Cabinet-maker by day, Ninja by night. (Don't deny it. We saw the Ninja stars stored on the side of your heated cabinet.)

hi john could you do a more informationed video on how you made the wooden clamps and what your forts are on inprovements to them please

Join, I received a dealt planer as a Christmas present. It has a real good dust/chip extraction blower that really is messing my garage up badly. I can't figure out how to contain the dust into a can. I got a glimpse of yours in this cider and I think it's the same unit as mine. Can you make a quick video on how you set yours up? That would be really helpful. Tks. Dale

i think that filming has helped me concentrate on what i think is important about a project and has helped me find solutions that are often simpler because i am looking to make a video short enough so that my audience wont fall asleep and i wont die editing. But also i find i lose something if i over plan maybe it is just spontaneity. Now when i look at tv programs i liked (i no longer have a tv) i see that the production things like the title sequence and opening lines or format are a bit staid but they familiar in a kind of comforting way like chicken soup, i like chicken soup but not for every meal. But maybe that age has passed, and i appreciate when people communicate as people rather than presenters or over rely on production . I used to work as part of team were we ran residential courses like grown up camp, every week the team would introduce themselves to the new guests, and one guys introduction story was brilliant it had it all and guests loved it, but after a year of listening to his story every Saturday i felt like i was being punched over an over again. So after a ramble, i watch your videos because interested in what you do and all that other stuff production, presentation doesn't really get in the way of showing what you do, thanks, I was going to say keep it up, but i know will.

You should show how you wired up the light and thermostat

John, I'm sure that many think as I do - we understand that the 'rest of life' is important - remain true to the way you believe you should make YT videos. Thanks for all the tips,projects and general information that you share.

Good job John! take the rest of the day off! go enjoy a double double. lol

I always enjoy watching your video! You look familiar, I live in Ottawa.

I very much appreciate the videos you produce! It's been 4 years since you made your heated cabinet with the hair dryer as a heat source. I'm planning to do the same. My inquiry is to see if you are still satisfied with the way it functions or what you might do differently? Again, thanks for the great work you do!

I just replaced my dishwasher. I am thinking of converting it into a heated cabinet because of insulation and stainless steel tub. What are your thoughts on this idea?

great idea

I know a lot of people love snow like that, I'll freeze to death. It's been 80's all week here in Los Angeles. Can I have the link to your other channel?

John.... I like your idea of taking some time to talk to the camera. The heated cabinet is a great idea. I am no stranger to using incandescent bulbs to keep pipes from freezing. BTW, in the US incandescent bulbs are no longer manufactured. Last thing: I wonder if you can chat about the cabinet on the wall behind your drill press in a future 'talk to the camera' episode. I looked for plans on your website and found nothing about it. Best Regards...-

Great Video!! Where abouts in Canada are you?

Are you not worried about the small hairdryer you have in there now igniting any fumes from the more flammable substances; if not why?

Sweet

Genius!

thanks john really appreciate these videos! keep up the good work and don't think that we wont like it. because most of us do, unless it is like a silly joke video.

Nice personal touch John. What, no heated path to the shop? Haha

The care you take in your videos is obvious and they do take time to create. Far more than people imagine. Some ideas; if something is getting repetitive cut it out and narrate the jump. Also, if you're fluffing a line, cover it over with a jump cut. A little cross dissolve can cover the blip. To bad too don't live Saskatoon. I must have 50 creative and competent kids from Media School who would shoot, light, record and edit for you just for the experience.

Which province in Canada do you live in?

I like the less formal approach. It seems more in tune with what (I feel) youtube is all about, as a kind of weird slow-paced social media network. It's sometimes fun to pretend you're making a TV show though.

You said you live in canada but unless you live in Winnipeg you don't have much snow But on the topic of the cabinet it's a very good idea although it's a shame I don't need it in my current shop because it is inside but I my be moving out in the garage

Realy nice idea. Tell me John. Do you do woodworking also as your job in the profesionall way, or all this great woodworking is the " second part of you " :-)

15c is roughly 59f

Cool! We are neighbors!! I'm in Barrie.

Found it, never mind.

Were you starting to feel like a full-time video editor?! 80% video production/ 20% shop time? Steve seems to be spending a lot of time editing. Good videos, but they come at a cost. I like some of Jay's early videos - quick & dirty, but good content. I look forward to your "adjustments"! Thanks John!

You didn't get the memo. Ice belongs in a glass, not on the ground. :)

what is your other channel name

John Heisz I asked on your other channel about the hair dryer and I found the video as you can see by this comment LOL

What is your 'house renovation' channel called?

Hi John, I've enjoyed your videos for about a year now. All great stuff. I was inspired by this one to build my own heated cabinet. I posted a video of mine on KZfaq. Let me know what you think. Thanks. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pM6leMxptLmmlYE.html

I don't watch to see your charm. I watch to see your ingenuity, design skills and no non-sense approach. Don't over analyze it. You are on the right track. In some of your earlier videos when you barely talked if at all and just showed a speed up cutting and assembly process I didn't like the fact that I had no idea what you were building until the end. I think you get better with every video.

A good idea, John. I think it will work well for you and I look forward to future videos like this along with your others.
