April I believe someone is trying to steal or hoodwink your followers!!!! I’ve been getting texts saying you have a surprise for me. I know that ain’t tight so iI muted the conversation! Just thought I’d let you know!!!
You’ve come such a long way! From doing doughnuts in your front yard, on your partner’s quad-bike to running a huge enterprise. You are a source of inspiration to many.

When you start to get old like me it makes a difference but you have about 30 years or more to go. A real Texan. Thank you.👍♥️♥️

Wow, you’ve come a long way. I remember when you were trying to figure out which end of a screwdriver to use. I used you as an example of what my daughters could do when they grow up… maybe too well. Now they can’t seem to find guys that are not intimidated by what they can do on their own. Definitely “Girl Power” at work. Thank you.
I have watched most of your videos and this is one of my most favorite, other than the shop build. A separate more detailed video of Jacob's jigs would be nice. But any video's of this shop in action would be enjoyable.
You clearly have a real passion for woodworking - your work is stunning.

I've watched you from the beginning when you worked out of your garage. I've watched as you have progressed. You have proven that in the United States (and Texas) one can still exceed immensely by hard work, dedication and drive. The CNCWORKSHED is a very special project where modern technology meets old world carving. I really enjoyed the tour. Thanks so much.

My Wife and I stopped in to see you, we missed meeting you but got to take a little tour of the place. it was really cool to see in person. Before we left I purchased one of your fraction to decimal charts. It pretty much sat around unused for a year. I recently picked up an Axiom CnC. I can not tell you how much that chart has come in handy now that am in the software programing my CNC. So much that I moved it to where I keep the laptop because I got tired of having to get up out of my chair to go look at it. Super awesome.

Well will you look at you now! It wasn’t long ago I found your channel when you were in a garage. I recall telling wife about a young lady who did woodworking like I do. Then ordered your plans for folding Adirondack chairs and I made two of em. I will be modifying the arms so thy can hold drinks too. Then you built this ginormous shop and I remember thinking, April, how in the world will you fill it? So look at you now. Wow amazing what you have accomplished.

The new shop looked awesome and :potent" when we saw it the fort time- now, full of ongoing projects and busy people, it is truly awesome! My mom, who was a "hobby carpenter" would have absolutely loved it! As well she would have been proud of you April; my mom had to fight through an era in Texas when they had banking laws that "strongly discouraged" women seeking to start or operate their own businesses- watching you go today, would have made it all worthwhile to her!

This entire video is something I want to do. Have a CNC, have work for that CNC to do, make things more and more efficient. That is heaven to me. But, like you, I want to own the shop. Wood or metal doesn't really matter to me. I just like the idea of manufacturing something here in America.
This is so cool. CNCs are a manufacturing game changer as are 3D printers. You make great use of a smaller space. It seems a lot bigger than it is. By the way, 8020 aluminum framing is a great method for workstations, shelving, and guards. You may want to look in them. I am a 8020 specialist/ designer for SunSource

Very cool. A friend of mine and I have a few products we've developed. We're using my 24" x 24" CNC. It's working, but if the products take off, we're looking at something like an AVID or the Shop Sabre. Not quite the same price range, but both seem to be good machines.
