Nah, man. Thank YOU! I appreciate you giving me the opportunity to create this piece
24:06 "I will work with my hands until they break" is such a perfect way to express how so many of us are feeling about making stuff. There definitely is poetry in fine craftsmanship and Michel is for sure one of these "hand poets" I'd love to see Chris Salamone and Paks Makes next!
Really enjoying your channel for the glimpse into the lives of some of my favorite makers on KZread! You're doing such an excellent job!

I completely agree. What an incredible group. Thanks for watching!
That rabbit its just insane, michael its just so stupid talented
I love these videos so much. Michael Alm always seems like a really nice relaxed fella
I really enjoy watching Michael's work. He's one of my biggest inspirations for trying new things and chasing those niche pieces for my house. Watching him make a sewing desk, that light figure with all the brass, all his patterned plywood bowls now, and even that custom step stool drawer... His work reminds me that when I find a problem, I can develop a great solution that fits me.
I love Michael’s channel, his work, his personality and creativity. One of the only people that appear genuine in this world of thumbnail clickbait and plastic surgery. Thank you for highlighting him justin!
What a great artist.
Love watching what you do Michael all the way from Cape Town South Africa. Keep doing what you do bud. Thank you.
Thank you Justin for capturing Michael's story, always great to see another interesting profile and some bts. Michael, you are a rock star, keep going and good luck!!

I appreciate you watching! Thanks for the comment!
Truly talented guy
Great video! It took me an embarrassing long time to connect the dots that this is the guy who came to stay in Michael's barely finished house a few weeks back. : ) Love the crossover content, and have subbed to Mabie's channel now. Keep up the great work!
Great series, thanks for interviewing the community of creators

m539 restorations !!!! (not a woodworker but would be right up your alley, I think)✌️❤️
Mabie, Thank you for all of these woodworking maker videos. I've enjoyed everyone of them. Your treatment of the interviews and editing give us an honest look into each makers humanity, personality, likes...it's like sitting down and talking to them personally. Again, thank you.

I appreciate the feedback about the cat b-roll. If I'm being honest, I completely agree with you.
My ac went out today and I’m miserable in 115 degree heat in central California. Your video made today tolerable and bearable. Thanks!
Next level woodwork! Adding the artistic touch really makes his projects stand out.

His home renovation led me to your channel and I am glad that you are taking the time to show us the behind persona of my favorite makers. I hope that your channel keeps growing and that with your help I can find other creators.

Thank you very much for this comment. I really appreciate you checking out my little series!
Alm's eyes in those interview parts XD. I guess that's another benefit to Seattle, you can burn one before your interview. Great video, Michael is one of my favorites!
Bro I want to move to Washington so bad!
Do you know what's best when you missed a video? You can watch new videos twice as long and get to know new great woodworkers!

Hey! Nice video! The phrase 'I will work with my hands until they break' is so inspiring! I think you'll love our Muscle & Joint Pain Relief Cream products and would be a great fit for a partnership. Let's discuss further and send you some products to try out.
Justin, Thanks for FINALLY 😁 doing a video on Michael!! Such a down-to-earth guy and does such amazing work! Very much enjoyed the video! Thank you!
