Nice! Keep it up!

Greetings. I just wanted to share a little story. I'm a recovering drug addict from South Africa Mpumalanga. I have been clean for about three years after 12 years heavy heroin, weed & rock(some form of cocaine) addiction. Last year September I was given an opportunity by an NPO and a mine company sponsorship to go study carpentry in the East Rand. I did construction carpentry but I felt I had learnt so little. Fast forward to five months later I've been back home. I've been pretty much depressed considering I have no capital for the expensive power tools and honestly watching all the fancy workshops didn't really help much. I recently came across your channel and I just wanted to thank you for all the guidance. I look forward to starting my workshop from ground up. I am definitely subscribing and watching all your videos for inspiration. Thank you

My husband is also a blind woodworker. He recently was offered a space in a gallery here in maine. He works by feel and flashlights. He hasnt gone completely dark yet but it is getting worse each day. God leads him in his shop.

Shout out to Paul for being such a bad ass! God bless you brother.

After a really rough couple days mentally at the end of this dreaded Canadian winter, I needed that "preaching". Being a veteran struggling with PTSD, finding positivity in this world today is getting very difficult. I've been following your channel for well over a year. I'm constantly feeling defeated with even just the basics of woodworking, but the way you present your videos, constantly telling your viewers how easy alot of these projects are, and preaching that YOU believe in US, is keeping me from quitting. In closing, I just want to say THANK YOU for being a positive light in this negative headspace I live in. Please keep the stories, and motivation coming!! God Bless you and yours Sir!

Hi there...I really like all of Mathew' s content and encouragement. May I suggest to you that you check out Rob Cosman on KZread. He is an amazing woodworker but more than that he's got the heart of a lion! He runs a program for Vets. He and other vets started this a few years ago. It's called the PHP or Purple Heart Project. It is specifically for teaching hand tool woodworking to vets who have suffered combat issues, be they physical or mental. Please take a look at what the Cosman team offers. I think you will be pleased. By the way...he is in New Brunswick, Canada!! And he loves hockey!!😊 I wish you all the best and thank you for your service!

That story on the blind wood worker rocked. Just what I needed today. I’m very new at woodworking and I was struggling with a simple project today and was very frustrated. I just need to slow down and count my blessings.

Time for a new merch shirt or hat. "No more excuses - Be Like Paul" It would make a great conversation starter and topic. (Of course a portion of the profits go to Paul to help create the perfect work flow shop.....)

My daughter made dice a few years ago for Christmas gifts. We added dry erase boards with similar to a Yahtzee scoring pad with permanent marker, and included a pack of dry erase markers with each set of dice. They were a big hit with the family.

I love your videos, I have made several of your items for personal use and I plan on trying to sell some to cover my creative costs. Thanks for making me believe that I can! 💜

Just an idea on the Paper Towel holder. Use wing nuts for easier removal

Matthew, steel fabrication shops are a good place to ask for pallets that their sheet steel came on. The runners are usually 3 inches plus thick and sometimes are oak. They work great for substitutes for 4x4s

That tip on making your own live edge is revolutionary

Please go to that blind woodworker's shop and do a video on him. I would be fascinated to watch a blind craftsman work!

I gotta say that i really appreciate these videos you're doing. I retired from the Marine Corps after 12 years and went through a pretty bad rough spot, but woodworking helped keep me busy and kept me going. There are alot of people making very good videos, but your and 731 woodworks videos have stood out. I recently made a set of patio chairs from his design and just got these plans and the concealment table plans. Keep up the amazing work and videos 👊

24:34 Mr. Peech, I never miss your 'projects that sell.' The moment I see one, I already know how to make one. But, sometimes, I have no idea as a newbie woodworker (transitioning from hobby to business ); your lessons come in very handy. The prices they sell them at are outrageous, most of the times.

The blowtorch hotdog rotissiere is epic.

My dad and built them exact tables 40 years ago. It started by me trying to build a small picnic table and turned in to almost that exact table you have. It was amazing how fast them things sold then. We sold them with ketchup and mustards bottles with salt and pepper shakers.

My uncle Chet lost his sight due to detached Retina-both eyes 👀 It didn’t Stop 🛑 him either ! He was a metal worker . He made squirrel traps for all his neighbors and other cool useful items ! He also loved to cook .❤ He psssed on but his Uncle Chet Stew lives on !

Shoot man, I have probably dipped from a 100% click through to maybe 85, save for later, or scroll and come back to it for your content in recent months, but I'll tell you, your piece to camera about inspiration, hardship, and mindset had me glued and inspired. Thank God. And you're probably not surprised, it's in an area nowhere near my woodworking...I am a middle school band and orchestra teacher and I struggle to stay fed in my battle against a ridiculous workload and expectations and your words didn't fix anything or change anything, but they made me feel better. And this picnic table idea... Genius! I bet we'll see that at the farmer's markets in droves! Thanks for the pep talk and more great ideas!

Thanks Mathew, another great tutorial and build !!! I always feel like I learn something from your videos and enjoy attempting them in my own shop. Shout out to Paul, you sir are a bad a$$ !!!

For a long time now you've been my inspiration. Last week I made enough on garden boxes to buy a new DeWalt table saw . I appreciate your preaching. It keeps me going.

Never stop preaching for us to push ourselves and to try new things instead of letting us think we can't do it. Also, you go Paul! I can't speak for everyone, but your story has definitely inspired me!

The dots on dice and dominoes are called 'pips', a word that originally meant speck, but also meant something small and easily countable. This word also refers to the rank insignia on the collars of Star Trek: TNG uniforms. Make it so, Mr Peech!

Pro tip for making dice. The PIPS (not dots) on opposite sides add up to 7. The 1 is opposite the 6, 2 vs 5, 3 vs 4. This is true for any die. A 20-sided die adds up to 21.

Paul is truly an inspiration!!

I made my first bit of good money with woodworking with the squirrel feeder, a scaled up version of the designer planter with the 45s at the top, and a live edge table. I also started the carnivore diet, lost 17 pounds and been reading a Bible verse every day. Life may be harder for everyone recently, but it can still be good. Intention, attention to detail, expectation of outcome, and prayer. Thanks for the inspirational messages, Matt. WE CAN ALL DO IT!

Thank you for this video. I saw a condiment picnic table a year ago and kept stumbling on figuring out how to make it.

Mathew, I just want to say you're an awesome guy for sharing all these builds! I hope you don't mind , I'm stealing the paper towel dispenser idea. I have a few ideas for it. Im making it a bit larger for big rolls and putting the ketchup and mustard bottles in the seats on one side and BBQ sauce bottles on the other, with salt, pepper and a toothpick holder on top. I dont have much of a shop, but you have really inspired me to get back to my passion in woodworking! Thank you, Mathew! Please keep the ideas coming! Maybe I'll post some projects in the future. Thanks again! Edit: well it took almost two cedar pickets to do it but I think it looks good and will sell. I heard you say you have a discord now? I think I'll join and send a pic of the build. Send me the link please!

Matthew, the dots are called "pips " Your channel is awesome. The best of all of the woodworking channels.

You could also take a spring-loaded toilet paper holder separate the two pieces put a dowel rod between them and make a spring-loaded holder for the paper towel roll that you made so that way it would be easier to get in and out to replace the roll

Thank you!! I'm living with pancreatic cancer and I have been keeping a positive attitude ( most of the time). I have gone through a major surgery and I am still doing chemotherapy every other week. I was diagnosed over 4 years ago. I am a beginner in woodworking. Sometimes it is hard to get out in my garage shop. My skill level is pretty low. But I have made some nice cutting boards and a few other things. I watch your channel and it is one of the best ones out there Thank you again Matthew.

If you have a small stencil, or branding iron, substitute that for the 1 position, it can keep your brand in front of people as they play, or let their friends know where they can get your own.

Matthew, I want to thank you personally. This episode is my favorite by far. The opening story about Paul is inspiring. We can here it many times over and then it clicks. Thanks for what you do!

Just stumbled on your channel. I love your passion and can do personality. Can't wait to clean out my shop and get going again.

Just a thought Matthew, You could put the bottles of Ketchup and Mustard on one of the seats of the paper towel table and the salt and pepper on the other seat combining these two builds into one. As always... Great Video. BTW enjoyed the live edge part of the video, I'm gonna try it.

Matthew, I like this this story about Paul. It made me think back to when I had a sawmill and sold walnut and cherry to woodworkers. I had a client that came to my place with his girl friend. She drove because he was blind. The next time he needed lumber I told him I would deliver it. When I got there he was hanging drywall in a stair well. I ask him how he could measure to know what to cut. He had a talking tape measure. He showed me some of the things he had built with the previous lumber he purchased. His builds were quite impressive.

Never stop preaching brother. It's refreshing and inspiring to hear someone's story of overcoming adversity. My 1 year old son was born missing his left hand and forearm so Its been in the back of my mind thinking about how I could possibly teach him woodworking in the future. That being said, the story you shared has shined a proverbial flashlight down a dark hallway for me. Keep up the good work!

You’re just preaching to love thy neighbor! So keep preaching peech cause you have motivated me to just do it. Even though I haven’t yet but I’m almost there! Haha God bless you brother.

I found your channel a while back when looking for a hidden gun rack and your coat rack came up. Been a fan and subscriber since then. I stay because of your genuine honesty, skills, projects and because as you said your preachy. I can't tell you how many projects I have done with your channel playing in the background. Glad your on the internet and not VHS as I would have worn out the replay button by now. Even my wife started watching you and she doesn't even do woodworking she just likes your easy flow and basically after watching she let's me know what my new project will be. Don't change anything. Thank you

Matthew, I want to let you know that I really appreciate your shares. I'm getting nearer to retirement and want to work in my shop and make things that people like and can use. Not only do you create some really cool projects, but you're very positive in your presentation. Good man! Thanks very much!

Mathew! I love your channel! You really stick with woodworking and have a passion for it. I can’t express how much I appreciate your videos and that you don’t stray away from it and always talk about tool reviews. I don’t mind a few here and there. I like that you motivate people. You should really think about seminars! lol. No just kidding! That would take you out of doing what you like. I also follow your other channel and hopefully see more videos on it. Stay passionate!

Thank you so much for the support. I am passionate about it and hope maybe to do something along a seminar eventually but we will see.

I really like the mini picnic tables. I’m starting to make them myself and the only problem I’ve ran into is that the paper towel holder doesn’t fit a standard size roll fresh outta the wrapper (at least the costco ones) you would need to use a roll that’s about 25% gone already. I have started to make plans for a bigger table that would fit a full roll but I also like the two tables being basically the same size. Still pondering this, but otherwise I love the idea.

The patterned "wall art" would make neat outdoor doors or tabletops with some slight alterations and prolly sell well in outdoor kitchen builds. Just a thought

Preach, Peech!

The dots are called "PIPS". Love your U-Tube videos as they inspire me so much.

For the dice, a piece of round steel stock could be heated with a torch, and spinning in a drill press would make the familiar indentation. It would take a bit of practice , but with a simple fence it would make easy accurate dots!

Really like the condiment table mainly because I already have one! My parents had it since I was a kid, so 40ish years. Love the paper towel table. That is pure Genius! A person could make both of them a little bigger to add holes for Mayo, Hot Sauce, Salad Dressings etc or for the extra large paper towel rolls. Great video!

If there is a USPS address, PO Box whatever, if you could PM Jancy Morgan, I'll get it sent. THANK YOU SO MUCH for all your awesome information!!! I grew up hanging out with my folks who rebuilt houses leveled by tornadoes, previous tenants, etc, as it was Dad's hobby and he sold a few but kept several for rentals. After over six decades of rebuilding things, your tutorials have taught this old dog new tricks!! And before I forget - I wanted to suggest you could add a slot in the bench of your paper towel holder for hand sanitizer. Those little tables are genius!! I've become disabled this past year and your videos really lift my spirits - I watch/listen while illustrating books, it's win-win - keep up the good work!!!!! ❤

Thank you for another great video. I would love to see you build the PB table.

Love the paper towel holder, but I find myself visualizing the first person to pull a paper towel off ripping it just right that it doesn't pull the next piece through. By the third time that happens it's just going to be flipped over and won't look like a picnic table anymore. I feel like it might work better if there were just single slats on the edges rather than a whole tabletop, but I'd visualize it better if I actually made one. I should do that. Which is the whole point of this channel, so keep it up!

Would love to see a picture of it

I would possibly modify the paper towel holder. Use a wood dowel like 3/4 so just cut to length to fit between the legs supports. Then drill and glue in some of those nut inserts (not sure if there's a technical name for them. Then drill some clearance holes in the table leg supports and use a wingnut style bolt that passes through the leg support into the towel. That way changing the roll doesn't require any tools. But then again you'd have the wingnut ends sticking out the side so may not be as clean looking.
