    I can relate to that. I love making people smile and last November I sent a dear friend of mine some candy I brought from canada and without telling her I Included a little marking knife I made completely by hand. The blade was handmade from an old sawblade from the 70s, formed with nothing but a file, badly drilled holes for brass pins because I didn't have a center punch, heat treated by myself with a cheap blowtorch... And it wasn't even that good. But I put some thought in it and saw it as a learning experience. Her reaction when she got the package was just priceless. Also because I made the handle out of an old window frame made of some tropical wood and a middle piece out of maple. You know... because canada and stuff. This here reminded me of that and just made me smile :)

    Dude, this is incredible. This goes way WAAAY beyond woodworking. Thanks for making content that's not just "10 greatest tools", "the best workbench", "amazing coffee table with a secret"... It's really refreshing to watch a woodworking-focused channel that also explores a lot of meta-woodworking topics and the community on a larger scale beyond just projects and building (like in your last video! Not much straight up woodworking comedy out there!)

    Shun knives have been including bandaids in their packages for a few years now. I think [But am not certain] it began with their “Scary Sharp” marketing campaign/ slogan. Not sure if your guy was before them, but it’s certainly possible. Anything that gets you out of “I just received a new toy, I need to use it right now” mode and makes you think, “Wait a minute, this can hurt me and others, let’s have a solid plan of action first.” Is a win in my book. Cheers!

And fellow wood crafters: always, always, add a few business cards and a thank you note to any product you mail out. It's a touch like that they brings back clients, and the extra cards can be given by them to friends that ask about the product. Learned that as a business service provider when we used to send big reports to clients by mail (now with mostly email and electronic delivery, it doesn't happen as much)

The story of the band aid reminds me of how hard I laughed years ago when I unpackaged my Tormek sharpening system. Laying in the bottom of the box was a small yellow plastic folder...... and sure enough, there were a couple of band aids inside. Humor is a wonderful marketing strategy. I immediately stapled it to the pegboard tool holder at my work bench to remind myself to be safe. Keep up the excellent videos.

    Great story and a perfect example of something I have been trying to get my small circle to to simply embrace over the years. An idea I refer to as 'G.A.S.', and how world changing it could be if the concept was embraced on a global scale. The basic concept of how much better everything is, from the smallest to the greatest, simply 'Giving A Sh*t' about that which you're engaged in. Simply adding a bit of G.A.S. to everything one does, especially for others, could be a shift of attitude that can move everyone for the better. Work, personal life, everything. Use your turn signal, hold a door, don't toss trash out of your window, return the cart, smile in simple acknowledgment of another human being, wipe the sink, on and on. Folks laugh but how often are these careless and selfish acts an unnecessary irritant. Also effectively applied in your job, no matter what that is. Just G.A.S. and go...

    The other thing about Kevin is also how he puts so much content out there about how he makes things. I bought a lathe just like his, and while I haven't replicated is process, I feel like maybe I could now! He's an inspiration in more ways than one.

    This was fantastic, thank you! I’ve been working on my side hustle and am finally getting traction but have struggled with some of the things you mentioned in this video. This has given me so many ideas. Thank you for this video. BTW, thanks also for all of your creativity. I bought a cheap WEN track saw this past summer because I occasionally need one for rough cuts and didn’t want to spend a lot of money. I bought one of your 3d printed caps for it hoping to manage the dust collection a little bit. It is now one of the best tools in my shop as far as dust collection out-performing many high-end tools that I use much more often. It took a tool that I anticipated being a throw away and made it into something enjoyable to use. Keep doing what you do!

    Man, that's awesome and amazing! I like what you said near the end, about putting a little extra thought and love into what you're doing before considering it completely finished. Along with hobby woodworking, I also make and send out a craft made hot sauce. I usually send out about 4 to 5 cases every year. It got me thinking about a little something extra that I can send out with every order, to make the recipient chuckle a little. You're right, we don't always know where that package is finding someone's heart at the time they receive it. Amazing how something as simple as a bandaid finding you at a crucial time, could completely turn your day, week, year, life around! Thank you for posting this, and thanks to Kevin for putting the extra heart and effort to make a simple gesture that would ultimately positively effect your life!

    Hey Drew, I’m not gonna lie, this really got next to me. I mean, I love your videos and the funny one poking fun of everyone was spot on. This one, stopped me dead in my tracks. I have been at a crossroads the past month. I recently release news to my customers that I have as nearly doubling my prices. My thinking? Something along the lines of getting less orders so I could stop working each box to GETMO. I had never heard that phase before today even though I’d been doing it the past two years. Anyway, I have learned that God sends messages in ways we will never expect. I have been fearful that my customers would abandon me. After seeing this, I feel like the ones that jump ship will be swimming back to the boat soon enough. Thanks for the inspiration brother! I love ya!!

    First found your channel from the truth about youtube content creators trying to sell you stuff video you did. It was funny and so I thought I would give you a try....with this video you've got at least one more long term subscriber man. Your AUTHENTIC content is so refreshing, I dont feel like Im watching a sitcom character, or a home shopping network sales person...its my neighbor, a buddy, a friend of a friend who has the same interests as me. I really appreciate your videos, the quality an authenticity I wish was more prevalent but seems to be come more rare as people give in and focus on the dollar signs. Keep up the good work and I look forward to the next video. TC
