Thank you for putting this out there brother..I’ve been on the job for 21 years now and started woodworking as an outlet to help me keep the job in perspective. I’ve taken the last 2 years to focus up on making it a second career. Thanks again
It is a very good book for beginners as well as for those that are already into kzread.infoUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt A very good basic ebook to keep as a reference too. I like it and the way the subject matter is presented. It has humor and that helps with the reading.
There's nothing to be embarrassed about in this video, vulnerability is courageous, especially in front of your entire audience. Congratulations on becoming a full-time youtuber, living your dream!
this is SO wholesome, it's alright to be nervous man. Just be who you are and never be ashamed. we're all very proud of you as well, congratulations!

Congratulations to you, Katie, and Chloe(hope I spelled both their names right)! Thank you for your service as a Marine and Police Officer! Also, thank you for sharing your story, I know it's not the easiest thing to do.
So sorry for your loss, it's never easy. Congrats on your continued success on youtube and thank you for your service both in the Military and as an officer.
Love your story man!!! Dont stop, keep writing it!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I discovered your channel yesterday and really love it. The woodworking is great, the humility is extraordinary and the humanity is beyond words. I am a liberal SOB in Los Angeles, but want to they you for your service as a police officer and a Marine. More than that, thank you for this video. The honesty, the vulnerability and the gratitude for what you have in your life is so wonderful to see and a real inspiration to me (who is 4 years older and definitely NOT a KZreadr!) Thank you and please keep it going. All blessings to you and your family!

I love the story time feel. It's nice to get to know who you are and what you're all about. I already knew a bit about you since watching the Call Me Mabie doc, and of course watching a bunch of your videos over the last couple of years. I'm totally jealous that you have been able to retire. I'm in the exact same situation as you but I have 11.5 years before I can retire and do this full time. I really related to everything you said about just wanting to do this full time. I'll be there someday. Thanks for the inspiration. Keep up the great work!
Congratulations!! Awesome news on both !!!

Awesome story, Jonny! You are an awesome dude, making awesome videos and awesome builds. I can totally relate to finding this passion for woodworking at a later stage in life. Congrats on the baby to you and your wife!!!
Congratulations on the next step in life !!!! All the best and congrats on the new addition to the family
I just love watching you work. I am glad you are happy and congratulations to you and Katie ❤
Thank you for your service. Enjoying your videos wish I had space to do some of the cool things you made.
Congratulations, Jonny! On everything, and thank you for your service in both fields. I also completely understand having larger age gaps between kids. Our eldest is almost 18, and our youngest is almost 3. I am so thankful I found your page recently. We live in Norman, and I'm currently buying the tools I need to convert our large shop into a woodworking shop. I've been designing since I was a small child and did a little building here and there. I've mainly just done home repairs and small craft projects for the last 20 years. I'm so nervous, but I would rather try and fail than never try at all.
Congrats on everything! What an inspiring video! Keep on winging it!

Huge congrats!!! Serving and being a police officer are top notch and I can’t thank you for your service enough! Never doubt that! Your story with your daughter - give me a second while I get this out of my eye! I’m 52 and I do the job I dreamed of when I was young. I make a decent living. It all seems good. But it took me until I was 52 to know this really isn’t my dream job and being an engineer isn’t that great. Much luck to you and congrats for making the right change!
I live & work in the OKC area. Thank you for your service to the community.
So pleased for you buddy. Looking forward to seeing where ur journey will take u. 👍👍
Such an inspiring story John!, huge respect to you! may the future bring you all wealth and happyness you deserve.
Congratulations on the new baby! Congratulations on retirement! Thank you for your service. Excited to see the channel grow. And from this Air Force viewer, I'd like to request a walkthrough of your snack area and to know which color is your favorite crayon for those afternoon snack breaks.

Thank you for your service and what you did for your community. I enjoy watching what you post. Started watch 731 and expanded from there. I have also thought about hanging the badge up and doing more with woodworking. Just haven’t dipped my toe in making videos on KZread yet.
We miss you already but best of luck as you show your talents to the world!
Congratulations on your new family member and your change of carrier! Like your videos, your presentations, your little gossips, your expressions, your works, Too bad I can't buy from you because of locating in another continent down under, but i am supporting you all the same. Keep it up, mate!
Congratulations to you both. Enjoy the new journey you are now on.
This is the first one of your videos I remember watching, although I find I am already a subscriber (I subscribe to way too many channels - lots of hobbies and interests). I REALLY appreciate your understanding of how "police officer" sounds to some people. Your description of your service was wonderful. I retired at 58 five years ago after working 30 years as a software engineer and then a VP at a small university. I, too, thought it would feel weird the first week after retiring, but it just felt right. I’m excited for you in this next stage of your life! So many wonderful things happening for you.

Thank you for serving our nation. I feel kind of like you finding a new stream of creativity late in life. I never used tools in my life until buying my first place. A little tool-buying and inspiration later, I build stuff and fix things in the house. And it's so gratifying. Congrats for transitioning to the next stage!
Congratulations! Takes courage to jump in on leap of faith. God bless, can’t wait to see what you do next. Been watching you for about a year and a half. You have evolved nicely 😊.
Congratulations on your well earned retirement, that's awesome. And even bigger congratulations on the upcoming new addition to your family. Onward and upward! 💕👍
