Maybe combine this with the three levels series. Hear me out. Everyone makes the same thing, Jordan gets the longest time, John gets the shortest, see if spending the extra time can bridge the skill gap.

Jordan gets 50 minutes, John gets 5 minutes. That would be quite a challenge. Handcut dovetails in 5 minutes.😂

I build mostly outdoor things like decks, fences, pergolas, etc and you remind me of how I am working in my shop. I recently made 8 planter boxes and initially thought it wouldn't take that long. Oh wait, I need to cut 102 pieces of trim and drill out 500+ plugs, etc etc. Everything always takes longer. Whatever the project is, it didn't take long to learn that I need to add 33% of time to how long I think it'll take in perfect conditions. I think it's going to take two weeks, I'll tell the client 3. Besides the work taking longer, or miscuts or whatever, life stuff happens too. Phone calls, people talk to you, you have to go to the DMV or the doctor... just add 33% and it'll keep you sane and clients happy.

5 minutes is quite enough to lose half of the fingers on your hand.

Glad to know that I'm not the only person who spends more time looking for stuff in my shop than I actually spend building things. We can never be too organized. It's a constant struggle to make working in the shop as efficient as possible. There's nothing more aggrivating than not being able to find something that you need, when you need it. All that said, building anything in a hurry is a big mistake, and doing so amounts to taking huge chances with safety.

This video is perfect. I’m an amateur and I feel everything I do takes so long. But this video shows even a box for a pro takes time. Shows a person patience.

Not only was this fun to watch, it was hilarious. "Everything's a hammer" should be a t-shirt. I'd buy that. (if it's not already a t-shirt). Great video.

Everything is a hammer. 1/2in combo wrench? Nope, open end combo hammer. Vise grips? I think you mean lock grip hammer. Impact driver? Nah man, that’s the ugga dugga hammer. Crowbar? Recordable incident hammer!

Jordan and Sam should do the exact same challenge to see what the expertise levels do to benefit how fast/well you can build!

You have no idea how much this has made me more confident in what I've been able to do since I started wood working a little over a year ago. I used to get so bummed out that it took me 4 hours just to make a damn 14" x 18" drawer, granted I don't use dovetails and all that, I mainly use pocket holes, but I take a lot of time cutting my pieces and getting them square. I always felt I took too long, and seeing John here take 5 hours to make a box... That made me feel a lot better. Thanks, man. :)

I like this new time constraint twist. Puts a new perspective on things. But I think you should increase the 5 min to 10 or 15 so your not rushing your cuts and nails. Hate to see you suffer a serious injury for the sake of beating a pointless clock. Safety first!

yup, plus also makes me realise how long it takes to do some things which you dont always see when its edited. they often take a lot longer to make thing than we think.

This video should be called "Why woodworking isn't a timed event."

I want to start by saying I love all of your videos, but this one was awesome! It was fun to see you struggle through things like the rest of us. It made me super excited to get out there and build something!

I'm always amazed by the craftsmanship of old wood ammunition/weapon crates. These boxes look great too.

I love woodcraft! I can’t afford to go there but I’ve been there one time. I’d love to just buy myself a new set of turning tools for my wood lathe. Thank you for sharing your time!!!

These are great. Good to see John get put through the paces.

Something I learned a long time ago, I don't even remember from where, is to always have your stuff figured out before starting anything. In woodworking it means: grab every tool you're going to need and put close to where you're going to work... The same with everything you're going to need, like screws and other stuff. And, finally, enough wood to start milling it. You know? Do all this BEFORE you start the clock, otherwise you won't know exactly the time you needed to do the task. (Now that I wrote it down... Maybe I learned it when I studied about softwares for productivity measurements...) Anyway, fantastic work, John! 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

This is one of the few times you see a channel credit another channel for the theme of their video. Also, I'm planning to get into woodworking soon and the awesome work you guys do is really inspiring :)

Great video to show why it's important to have your shop organized.

I would love to see you make some more complex projects that take a couple of episodes. Build a really beautiful roll top desk for example, and take us through the different techniques that you use to achieve this.

Setting aside the danger of rushing a job with power tools.... DO MORE OF THESE!!

Great video, excellent editing, totally enjoyed it. The quote “Everything’s a Hammer “ got to be up there with “If it’s not going to make a difference, you might as well do it” Definitely t-shirt material, I’d buy

"Slow is smooth, Smooth is fast" lol watching John fumble with everything on the 5min build was entertaining

I really enjoyed this challenge. Simply by the fact that you didn't have everything staged and ready to go. You showed all the difficulties you had by not being organized in your build.

The 5 minute bow would've taken me over an hour, but this is great.

Loved this one too. For me as a total noob with woodworking its interesting to see the 3 levels.

Two things I learned in woodshop back in 1965; 1.) Never run in a workshop and 2.) Never hurry with a project while using power tools. Very bad example to do this on the internet where there are so many impressionable mindless people.

This was way more stress-inducing than the three skill levels. At first I thought this was a great idea but I was surprised to find I much prefer the other challenge.

This was amazing I think it rlly exposed the efficiency of your shop would love to see yall try this again in the new to see how much more efficient you can get it

Well done on the challenges. Watching you use your tools really lit up some ideas in my head. So thank you for that. Last box... Pretty awesome. She looks great. Have a good week.

Suggestion for next three level build: safety glasses, eye patch & blindfold.

OMG, this video was so fun to watch. You earned my subscribe with that 5 minute box.

The three boxes show the progression everyone should expect for the hobby. Things get squirrelly.

Another thought, what about a 1 hour and 5 hour being more of a custom build, but the 5 MINUTE challenge would actually be making 12 in one hour for an assembly line process. So, it would be the mass production method, the quick and dirty (1 hour) and the more involved. Just a thought. What you guys did was FANTASTIC as it is!

Very cool seeing your creativity fixing things when they go wrong

This definitely shows the importance of having system in the tools and hardware 😄 my recommendations try to use 5S in your workshop. Then look through your entire videos and see how much time you wasted walking around to find tools, instead of having the tools where you need them and a system where it is easy to find. Then see how much time it takes to make them with an optimised setup. I bet you can take 40-60% of the build time 🙂

Organized workspaces always work better, my tools are set with hand tools dedicated spacing for measurements cutting and finishing... And power tools for milling miters and curves and finishing... But it works for me. The way towards a better future is improvement upon yester( day, month or years) miss takes

Ty for sharing love it 😀💜⚘🍦⚘💚

PLEASE don’t worry about the time. All of us would rather you finish the build and still have 10 fingers. Nobody cares if you go over the planned time. GREAT channel! Thanks!

Maybe the greatest (funniest) build video ever

Man, you’re so inspiring. And happy days, my wife just encouraged my to take over our entire garage to satisfy my woodworking itch. Subscribed!

Great job man. Stayed safe and got it done. The lesson that I got from this is that we can always be more organized in the shop. Maybe a label maker could help with those drawers? Sounds like a job for Jordan. 😉

That was some serious shop and tool carnage.

This video shows a lot more about woodworking than it intended to. A lot can be learned from this, other than the difference in time frame quality.

Customers that hire woodworkers should take note that you can’t rush perfection, especially when you need to take safety into account.

caution: HARD HAT AREA !!!!! LOL !! Lots of fun to watch !! Great job !!

Time is sure fun when you're havin' flies.

Dude for the first one throw some bags on. All that running around for bits and screws had me dying 😂

Pretty cool. Now let's see Sam's abilities

These time challenges are pretty sweet! Thanks for the content.

Got scared a bit that you were gonna hurt yourself trying to rush. Still loved it, and glad you kept your fingers.

Box give-away next? I'd take that 5-min box. Squirrel'd out!

The B Roll at the end of the five and fifty minute boxes had me dying.

That was some entertainment !!!!

5 min and you can still count them on either hand? That is a victory.

I love the 3 level thing!

I find everything very wholesome about this channel down to how well they refer to other channels everytime they use their idea. Most people just steal ideas and give no credit. And yes my favorite content from you is 3 levels and when epoxy goes bad ;-)

This was brilliantly entertaining. Now to buy some merch

Enjoyed watching you in real time attack the problems and issues.

Well.. that was a heck of a ride!

Wildly dangerous but Damn, I like those boxes. Well done, great one-man throw-down

Add 50 hours to the concept and make the most Complex box/chair/etc in that time. Amazing video!

Sweet squarely nuts man. You were running harder than a person being chased by a mountain lion. Great content and love yinz

“STAY SQUIRRELY” 😂 Totally making this for the old man.

Amazing workshop!

The 5 minute version makes one rethink shop layout 😁

I just built and sold my first box. Respect. The man has skills

Awesome job. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends keep making. Stay squirrely. God bless.

''with proper planning'' starts running around for bits and screw gotta love these guys hahah

The 5 minute box would take me like three hours and two trips to Home Depot.

I think you should re do this as a series. But instead of it being rushed. Show us with everything ready, what we can do in 5 min, 50 min, and 5 hours (when prepped)

Thank you for using SUIZAN japanese dovetail saw!

Renovate a house in 5 weeks.... GO! This was fun to watch but nerve wracking hoping for no injury.

Love the color of the 50 minute

My wife and I went "Wood Craft" today in North Atlanta GA, great people. they had everything I needed and wanted

You earned a beer for that effort, John! I ask this of all woodworkers: Was there ever a day where the drum sander *didn't* bust a belt when you were in a hurry..? 8-)

Jordan and Sam should try and do the timed challenge. I’d watch it

It's Chopped, but woodshop edition! This was great to watch.

Hola!🖐 That was insane! I could not stop watching though. This exercise does highlight how important it is to take your time to do it safe, to get it right, and feel good when completed. I often find myself rushing through a project, for no reason. I'm going to try to s l o w it down a bit. Take care and have a good one, Adios! 👊

Now THAT'S a cool video.

20:38 I feel like every boss should commit to challenges like this. Super valuable lesson learned.

"I underestimate how long things actually take" sounds like boss behavior

Hi Great Video Like Your Work And Sense of Humor Nice Boxs 10 STARS

Loved this concept! Could make a cool game contest show, similar to forged in fire. Would love to see a cutting board version!

I tried to speed run a woodworking project once… it quickly turned into a speed run to the hospital

Just wanna see you trying to build stuff in 5 mins from now on. Hilarious

Looked like a lot of fun. Thanks for the video.

This is awesome. Subscribed!

This was a blast to watch lol

This is not an unrealistic challenge as we reach the HOLIDAY season and woodshops around the world gear up for that special something for Christmas - 5 weeks turns into 5 days turns into 5 min left: PLEASE FINISH, DRY! - maybe in the OVEN? (Kidding kids, don't try this at home. Mom and Dad will be very mad!) For 5 min, I'd probably have pin nailed the whole thing with glue and skipped screws. For the 5 hour, router jig the dovetails and have more time to add hinges, sand and fit/finish. But you have all your digits and got it done sir. Nice job.

I like the 5 hour box.

This was a fun one! Thanks boys!

That was crazy!!! But wath a nice job on the 5 hours box

total cool fun to watch

Interesting enough, the challenge started as an art challenge issued by comic artist Mark Crilley, as a 1 min, 10 min, 1 hr draw challenge. When people started to copy that, others expanded it into other mediums.

Not sure woodworking and fast go together, but for an entertainment channel you didn’t miss.

That was hilarious and amazing. More more more

One thing that caught my attention was the locating of certain bits, tools, and materials that slowed the whole process. No matter how well organized or scatter brained, a lot of time is spent sourcing out the supplies to complete a project. Running back and forth to the HD for more wood is my biggest annoyance on building anything.

We want a 5 day build. Badass inlays, exotic woods and metals. LETS GOOOOO

The moral-Don’t rush. Make it right.

Just as I was saying there is nothing I watch on KZread, John saves us

Ah, no running in the mill. wires, wet ground, lawyers.

I’d love a woodworking/carpentry Forged In Fire style show. “Gentleman, the rocking chair is one of the most well known chairs in existence and so for the first challenge, you will have 6 hours to build one within these parameters “be about this tall and take up about this much floor space and make that rocking smooth” your time starts now
