As a 40 year veteran contractor, this this a great story. Following your passion and surrounding yourself with like minds is great advice.

If this video was three days long, I would have enjoyed every minute of it. I have seen a few high end mostly hand tool woodworking shops that put out beautiful furniture and make YT video's out of their work. Having an extra video person come in and put out some of their work I think would more than pay for that person's efforts and be some of the best advertisement available..

Speed and quality brings a premium price and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. This dude’s got some drive!! Way way cool and good for him!!

Scott, you and your team continue to knock it out of the park regarding content on your channel. This one is a masterpiece! Your connections to the old school, and awareness to the new tech influence are inspiring. One could describe you as the Hybrid Essential Craftsman. Thank you for such good work!

Nice to see such talented people fulfil their dreams

Thanks Scott for pointing out that "rugged individuals" can join together and not sacrifice their individual qualities to participate as a group toward good and quality work.

I had the honor of having Matt build the cabinets and kitchen table for my home last month. He is truly an artist with his craftsmanship and attention to detail!

Thanks Scott Thanks for taking us along

It's hard to pick a favorite segment because there is so many but this has to be one of them. I worked at and owned an automotive repair shop for 55 years and retired. I confess I'm a tool nut still but no expert in anything. I could never have the patience to do what this guy does.But I really admire it and him as a person for what he has done for us. A big thanks to him and to the channel.

Awesome video. Seems like a genuinely awesome, stand-up guy. And I love the essential craftsman. True gentleman.

Really enjoyed the Dream shop of Hallman woodworking, Wow what a shop

Wow, a great story and beautiful work. Thanks for the story Scott.

Absolutely love seeing people doing what they love for a living. Not about how much money you make, but how you feel about earning it...

A great interview Scott.

My favorite episode to date!

Now that's a sliding table saw. Very cool.

It's always being a better human on this channel.

A spray booth in NYC starts at $40,000, with follow up inspections by NYFD each month.Over the top regulators!!Great West Coast shop.Nice furniture------

Matt has transferred the team work ability & skills he learned & used in the Air Force and in his current flight Paramedic position to his wood working company & team. All of the team must work together for a successful outcome. Scott really enjoy your video's, always learning something from each episode. Today also playing catch up on You Tube esipodes, was great seeing you with Buckin' Billy Ray Smith, on both videos, also love his channel.

This video was exactly what I needed to hear today!

Great video. That table saw with a 16” blade with automatic depth n angle, along with the auto movable fence was awesome!

I needed this video as a pep talk to not lose focus on the team in building a product. Yea, I may be working in software development, but the same rules about building a team to make things still is a major part of formula to turning out a "good" product. Thanks for video.

I also work in IT and there's a lot of lessons that carry over.

Hey Scott, big shout out from the best country in the world Australia. Love ya work

Outstanding interview, Scott.

Absolutely beautiful, thank you!

Sometimes the journey really is about the friends you make a long the way.

You continue to amaze with your commentary and your finding incredibly interesting people and places. Pray maintain speed and course.

Thanks Scott!!

Scott, you are speaking with your grandkids of the future.

Keep woodworking alive!!

Love seeing creativity expressed in so many ways.

I love seeing small business interviews and stories of struggle to success!

I found there are 3 way this business works? 1 . Move to a larger City where of the 250,000 plus ppl 2% - 4% need a piece and can pay for it w/ o squabbling ! 2. Ship your product all over and bring an attorney on board to create specific contracts between you and the long range customer whereas u can hold their feet to the fire! Otherwise you’re gonna be driving all over trying to collect that piece from the 1 out of 100 customers that’s tries to get the product & not pay? 3. Do like I do whereas I build certain pieces (tables, stands) and build cabinets plus do finish work! ( Really it’s all finish carpentry). Otherwise just opening shop and saying “ I build furniture “ you will starve!

Inspirational

What a fantastic tour of a beautiful and well thought out shop.

Ultimately Matt had the idea for the business as was responsible for sourcing the funding also. However in his story he gave much credit to his team. Many companies are struggling to find labor but they do not recognize the team that they have who put up the hard work to keep things moving.

Gracias Scott! That's a beautiful shop and they are creating excellent wood projects!

If you ever get near Canyon Lake, Texas, see if April Wilkerson will show you around the WoodShed.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the awesome content and great video!!

Inspiring. Keep up the great work

Just awesome!!!!!¡!!

I need a shop like that one! I really do!

You know the old man is serious about a tour when he has a pair of work gloves in his back pocket! 😊

Awesome shop & inspiring people. Thank you. 😍

Amazing!

Super story, phenomenal shop.

"Alls this does" haha

Love your work 👍

Awesome guys! Please do a follow-up when they get moved into their new building in town!

Excellent episode. Despite the inevitability of AI coming into our lives, These types of creative activites will still thrive- blending crafts and technology.

great story.

Thanks for sharing your videos and keep them coming please.

Good episode

If the panel saw was “production” as referred, you would not need to hold the button down and waste time, in order to move the fence. On SCM, Altendorf, Martin, you enter dimension and go to pick up you panel whilst it is positioning.

I don’t run enough sheet good to justify an extra 10-15 to buy the scm

cool

Wonderful video! You have such a wonderful passion for showcasing the spirit of hard work and amazing talent.

I love seeing these kind of videos but at the same time it makes me feel like a failure. I started my woodworking business in 2004 and been selling and taking orders through the same website since then. Before KZread I just had to teach myself. Have learned a lot in the past 20 years but now I see how far so many on KZread have come in such a short time and I'm still in a cramped single car garage and a workbench I built when I was 18, I had no idea what I was doing back then. I still can't figure out how to scale my business and I'm now 48 years old. I do custom projects and signs mainly. Many people don’t want to pay the high price I should be charging.

It’s all about the grind buddy and sales. It’s one this to be good at woodworking and building a great product it’s another thing to be good at sales and k ow who your customer is and who isn’t. Keep up the hard work

Does Matt have a KZread channel? If so I want to subscribe

👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👊🌹🌹🌹

I wish someone would pat me on the shoulder like that.

Nah, I'd rather have something made by hand. The machines are making the stuff. What craftsmanship is that. Margin of error ????
