For the next challenge it would be fun to build a domino's table with cup holders but switching work shop.

I’m going to offer John a bigger sawstop to move next door to me.

I want to see Cam vs both Johns in an epoxy table build! But Cam has to use neighbor John's shop and the Johns have to wear flip flops

As a millennial, I thought I would prefer John's build. However, I found John's build more aesthetically pleasing.

Now there is a point to debate here. If John had just changed the finish, it would have out shone John’s cabinet massively. Great vid.

Everyone needs an Elder John in their life. He is freaking awesome.

Both. Both are awesome. John has experience, and Jon is an awesome woodworker as well. I appreciate that both guys are good at what they do, but are open-minded enough to learn new tricks from each other or equipment they've never used before. I would watch these two guys building stuff together and sharing tips and perspectives a lot.

My elder John neighbor is named Gaylon. And we have a bond that it seems John and John have. He is like a second father and bonus grandfather to my kids. I love seeing you do videos with him, and hope to see more. He is a natural in front of the camera too!

Elder John's cabinet has a warmer vibe reminiscent of a whiskey barrel. And his hidden feature is really funny, and he did it himself.

I think your next challenge should be for you and John to challenge another two-person team online. You two obviously have amazing chemistry so to partner up would make a fun watch. Go Team “John Squared”!

Absolutely! Great idea

Old John’s cabinet is aesthetic as hell. The patina and look of aged weathered wood is just something magical to me. Also for something like a “wine cabinet” something that gives the appearance of age seems to compliment the product going in it. Old looking cabinet=finely aged wine

Neighbour John is a national treasure

Man, you've hit on a perfect format. I could watch you and John work together on anything. What a blessing that you have an elder friend who is such a kind soul.

This time, a definite tie. Both were unique and beautiful in their own ways. Your spirit of generosity, however, nearly brought tears to my eyes. What incredible people you both are and what a terrific video this was. Thank you for taking the time, while looking after your sick daughter, to put this gem together.

I agree. The boomer project has a great finish and looked like great. However something about the mesh on the doors for the white claws really stood out. Actually it accentuated the drawing inside.

Here’s an idea for a competition: each of you must make a project with only 5 (or any predetermined limited number) of the tools from your shops. Can’t touch any of the others. That would bring the imagination to life! 😁

“Here’s a table I made only using a drill, a sawzall, and a flashlight”

Big John is going to have a whole new set of tools by the time he is done. It is awesome to have a neighbor that you are great friends with.

This makes me sad as I’ve been fortunate enough to have an older neighbor like John, who shares my passion for making for the last 13 years. Unfortunately we have to move, but to lose a neighbor, and friend like him is tough. People from John’s generation are built different and make amazing neighbors, and friends. Enjoy your John while you have him 👍

John is a true treasure.

The best thing about this video is how wholesome it is when you and John work together in your shop.

I love how you treat John to an upgrade in these videos. Its a great way to make an old guy feel very appreciated

Elder John’s speech patterns bring back so many memories of my dad making me watch “This Old House” for some reason. He’s so soft spoken and it just warms my soul

This neighbor is a treasure. He is such a KZread natural. I would watch anything this guy makes.

This series of neighborly builds is the most civil video series I have seen on KZread. It is what we ought to be to one another. Thank you. I can't wait to watch with my younger boys so that that can see what healthy, warm, and fun friendships between generations ought to be.

John's liquor storage cabinet was a clear winner! Absolutely love these videos. One can never have enough friends in life.

Who won? I think that we all did. It’s truly a joy to watch you and John work alongside each other. Can’t wait for the next one.

I love this!!!! I agree with the comments, protect John at all costs! ❤ I enjoy seeing the older guys and the next generation working together to create and compete! Way to go gentlemen…well done

I brought the whole family in to watch this one after catching the last one. The format is perfection and there is awesome chemistry along with a genuine level of respect and kindness. Keep these up for all of our benefit ❤️

I am 70 and this is one of the most delightful and encouraging videos I have ever seen.. Thank you John and thank you John. What a pleasure. You are fortunate to have each other and I am fortunate to have you.

Johns liquor cabinet looks like the type of furniture I imagined having when I was a kid. On the other hand, Johns looks like the one I actually want as an adult.

Elder John speaks from a lifetime of experience and you can definitely hear it in his voice. Keep that man safe because he's gonna be a national treasure.

We need more John vs John content. The way both of you do things differently but how you are so respectful of each other's methods in the positivity we need today. I'd love to see you build a bunk bed with a functional and creative twist.

While John’s cabinet is really cool with the great hidden feature, my vote is for John’s cabinet simply because I find it more aesthetically pleasing. Congratulations John on a job well done.

Governor Smith?

Still sharp, after all these years 🙌

Tough choice. Both cabinets excel in their own ways. John’s Boomer cabinet touts the classic rustic look screaming all sorts of characters with its many shades of brown yet very functional! Jon’s Millennial Jukebox is more elegant, chic with perfect proportions. I like both but if I’d have to pick a winner - it’s still the boomer cabinet only because I just like the rustic shaker style just a tad more! Overall- great video! Love the camaraderie between you!

The new saw was a nice touch, thank you for that. Elder John seems like a real sweetheart. Glad you have such a great neighbour.

Thanks for making John speechless with the SawStop … he’s loving all of this just as much as you are… let your generosity be a call-to-action for us all. 🎉

One of the most wholesome videos on KZread! Loved this video ❤️ Being an aspiring woodworker, using limiting tools and an unconditioned barn space, I loved watching the two of you make the most with what you have. Very relatable, and a refreshing departure from all the “high end” content that’s out there. Enjoyed the rawness of it all.

Haven't enjoyed a youtube creation as much as this one! Laughed out loud at your humility and shed a tear because of your kindness..Your neighbor couldn't be more fortunate having you and your family nextdoor...John, your craftsmanship is exceeded only by the humanity you exhibit..thnaks for sharing..unwilling to pick a winner..it's a tie I wish I could've been part of!

These build series are awesome. As a Gen-X just starting to get into woodworking (decided to finally build a bass from scratch that I’ve wanted to do for 35 years) I find myself planted directly between you too - somewhere between wanting to get every cut perfect and use every new tool I can get my hands on - and just getting it done with whatever I have around. I hope you two continue to build together. It’s inspiring and nice to see the contrast between your styles.

It is amazing what a person can build out of wood if they learn the basics. I took a 3-day hand tools carpentry class at a school that focuses on old methods and skills. Several years later, I needed to build a barn for my goats: 12ft x 24ft. I did all the work by myself - a 65 year old female who had used my carpentry skills some but never to design and build such a large project. There was only one problem I had and ended up getting professionals to fix it was the tin roof. The roof sloped 3 inches across the narrow side of the building for rain run off. I tried to do it myself but had to call in professionals because my roof leaked and all the solutions I got from other builders didn't work. In less than 4 hours, the 2 men took the old tin roof off, put down 2 × 6s on top of my ceiling rafters and used longer sheets of tin. No more leaks. I used battery powered drill, hammer drill (fantastic toy - I didn't even know they existed), and circular saw. All of them cut through the 2×6s and the Smartboard I used as siding. I now just have to build the 2 dutch doors and and other 4 stalls on the other side. I had to wait for the building to dry out well after the leaks and to give my shoulders a rest from using the power tools. The goats love it and I have used it several times for first time goat moms to give birth in. The are protected from weather and predators. Thank you for encouraging everyone to stretch their imagination and built neat stuff!

Love this content. I used to have a neighbor named Bill who was a guy in his late 70s who restored airplanes at a local museum in his retirement. And he would bring me welding projects to work on for the planes. It was great having him as a neighbor. He also had every type of drillbit and random miscellaneous screw you could ever imagine so whenever I needed something I would just go next-door go to his garage and start rifling through his bins. It was great.

Older John gets my vote, he is something very special. I could listen to the man talk all day. The rainbow back panel deserves a special award, though, creativity is obvioisly in the genes. ❤

I dearly love that you gift your neighbor another upgrade each time. He's awesome, and you're awesome for doing for him as he does for you in these videos. Very happy to put a like and a comment on this one

Wonderful. Very generous of you to give a SawStop. Really enjoyed the old dude (which I am ) Kudos to you both.

Seems impossible to choose because John’s is so freaking cool and yours is so sleek and modern Both are amazing! John is a true craftsman

This is such great content! I hope you keep involving neighbour John in the future. It doesn't have to be a "competition". Both designs look great but neighbour John won on points! His build design style just fit my preferences better. I like the sort of rustic look he created. Cheers and keep them coming!

Huge W for the viewers. Both liquor cabinets were great. I am a huge advocate for the rustic style, and that would be my preference for my home. But the winner for this one for me has to be the music cabinet. Love how older jon was able to interact with the modern tools and enjoy some of the precision it could bring to his project.

An older friend of mine from church was a huge influence on me getting into wood working. Seeing you too together is amazing. You are both are sincerely good people.

Jon these videos are so entertaining! Thanks for doing another one. My vote is for your mid-century cab. The music pushed you into the winner's circle. (Really it was giving the Elder John that Sawstop!) Thanks man. You're the best.

Well, glad to see this becoming a theme in your videos John, the two of you are really fun to watch, especially the off the cuff comments such as “only the cockroaches will know!” 😂

Every time I see the thumbnail with your neighbor I get so excited to watch. Thank you another great video

I don't know why, but this ended up being one of my favorite woodworking videos of late. I really like how both pieces ended up. They both look fantastic! And the table saw gift at the end was so great.

Love these vids with John. Keep them coming

These are next level videos with a genuine guest / sidekick and educational too. I really like the black finish on the red oak as I got several panels free and need a project to build. How did you remove most of the white cerusing to get the nice look?

Everyone needs a neighbor like John! You both are winners with friends like that for neighbors. Both builds are great good job you two.

That was a genuinely sweet video of friendship, comradery and craft. I hope this inspires more people to do the same.

I like older johns rustic cabinet better overall. But I do like how the finish on young johns cabinet and the mesh backing came out.

These videos between you two are in the very rare company of ones that actually make me want to get working and not just consume more content. I say that with a wince though because I’d like you to make more! They are so refreshing. Makes me think about what it would be like to have a dad that humbly shows me up with inferior tools. This is healthy competition, friendship, and just plain general humanity at its best. You two are lucky to be neighbors.

Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦. Wow, John & John, you guys have an amazing friendship ✌️. This just makes life and projects so much easier 😂. Love both the cabinets....... cannot pick a winner, we'll both are winners. Take care

Wow, they were both great projects. Both came out well. I think I would have to choose the taller, brown hootch cabinet -- only cause it would match my decor more.

During the video I was more inclined to your cabinet, younger John. But the reveal of finished products immediately changed my mind. True, yours look more polished and is, by all means, piece of furniture. But older John's one seems to have soul. I genuinely like that.

Really love these videos with Elder John so much! So glad to see him back! This was definitely a closer competition, but I'm going with John again. Loved the warmth of the piece and its poetry. There is something soulful in his creations.

I started in a 10x10 shed at age 14 making wooden toys and puzzle boxes. Kinda brings me back. I'm torn, but the taller cabinet is just a little better in every category and more likely to actually go in my house.

That was so much fun. I love how well neighbour John appreciated the nice equipment.

I love your guys friendship. It’s really endearing and genuine.

What an awesome video. This was a perfect blend of showcasing a couple of builds, entertainment and humor from both Jon and John, and proof that it is indeed the craftsman and not the equipment that makes a quality build.

It really doesn’t matter what you and John build we just love seeing you guys together doing what you enjoy .

More of these please Jon & John -- you're both great and I love the "slice of life" stuff. Jon's respect for John is inspiring and heartwarming -- I love the generosity too -- thank you. I'm looking forward to the next one of these, and the next -- you've got something really good going on here.

As a person. I think this is one of the best videos you have made. The memories that you 2 are going to have are just great, like the pieces you both made. This is why I love woodwork. Thank you for the great video. Cheers

Love these videos with your neighbor. He is a star. It's very hard to find a talented, hilarious, down to earth person who comes across so naturally on camera. I hope to see more content from the 2 of you.

For all the woodworking videos I get to see on here John's story of just enjoying his craft is one of the most touching I hope we all get to live life and enjoy hobbies like he does. and thank u other John for sharing it with us in a beutiful package and with the cabinet that takes my vote.

Love these video's. I love your channel. The way you are straight forward and honest is refreshing. Keep up the good work and ask John if he would be willing to make more videos...

Your neighbor is awesome!!!! More please!!! CHALLENGE: Young John uses pallets/neighbor John uses high quality wood. Is there a way to build him a shop table that rolls out of the shed? And collapses when not in use?

thats great to see you both are friends and have the same hobby. please more of these videos

This content is wonderful. Thank you. My Neighbor John was a guy named George Auth. We had different ways of doing things, but I still treasure the things he taught me as a new homeowner and woodworker. Looking forward to future videos!

Oh you are so lucky to have a neighbor like that. A world of knowledge and happy to share it with you. It’s too cool to see him experience new tools and see how modern shops work. I’m glad you got him a table saw but with you would have spent the same on a much better one (saw stop over priced). But either way, he’s going to love his new saw. Wish we could do more for this guy.

I really like your communication with your neighbor you can learn from old people a lot and it seems he can learn a lot from you.

Love these videos with your neighbour. Well done upgrading his equipment👍

Delightfully entertaining and educational. John and John are fortunate to have become neighbors. More fortunate to each appreciate the other.

Love this. Please keep them coming. Great to have such a fabulous bond between neighbors who share an interest and so much knowledge and skill.

The friendship, fellowship, and love is amazing. Thank you for 2 very entertaining videos.

That was uber fun! What a great build for the both of you and having each other as neighbors!

This was such a great video! So amazing that you spend time and enjoy working with your neighbor.

I love your heart and I love your neighbor. Keep up the good work, brother

I really enjoy your channel - projects, content, and style. You consistently do an excellent job. Your collaboration with Elder John (I'm closer to his age) is one of the most rewarding pieces of woodworking content I've ever seen. The cross-generational friendship you share is inspiring and gives me a vision of what I would like to be to my younger neighbors.

If this channel is going to become John and Jon Builds, it will 100% become my favorite woodworking channel.

From all of the wood working channels I have been recommended this is the one I think has convinced me it is time to try and rebuild my desk. I was very tempted to go the Ikea route with a hardwood top but there are features I want and these videos tell me I have at least 90% of the tools I need already that built up over the years. They just never been used for furniture construction.

They are both amazing. Great build-off with a great neighbor. Passions bridge the gap between generations. Love it.

Your neighbor John does have a great eye for beautiful old hardwood with a lot of character. Funny as we age we tend to be able to find more beauty in these things. This video is just another reminder to try and connect with and enjoy your neighbors whatever the age differences.

Good on ya' for sharing your prosperity and helping John keep his fingers.

John's personality and humor is a great addition to your channel! Keep the collaborations going

These videos with the two of you are great. Keep 'em coming.

liked your channel since it began, and was lucky enough to stumble upon it when it was new. this was GOLD, thank you guys for sharing with us!

This was so fun!! More of this please!!

These build offs are great. Good finished projects, and freindly compitition. Love them. Keep doing these once in a while.

Love this series. Nice job, both of you.

what a nice gesture of your part at the end!! keep doing this vs!

Really enjoyed the video, Jon! Love the builds and that gifting of the SawStop topped it off! Good job!👍

Love both, neither is better than the other. Awesome yall have this friendship

It is so amazing to see an older man enjoy making something to such extend. Real inspiration for the youngsters out here. You don't need much, just find good material, and 50% of the job is done

That was awesome....glad to see two different people enjoying the woodworking hobby. Great job guys!

Love this “series” its quite heartwarming the neighbourly friendship you share! More of these please 🙏 Sorry the rainbow painting got me the win is yours this time 🙌 both really amazing designs

And that is what brilliant content creation is all about. It was fantastic. Well done to both of.
