Thank you so much for the kind words and feedback. You are both such a huge inspiration to so many people including myself! I appreciate your willingness to share your journey of growing a business, especially in the woodworking niche. I really enjoyed the Box O' Scraps (Please let us know when there are more in stock - www.samaratableco.com) Gotta love Buc-ee's! Thank you again for organizing the challenge... I have seen some of the competition; like Grafton Custom Woodworking's projects, and I don't envy the judging at all.

Omg. 😂 you're my new favorite wood working youtuber. Your commentary is honestly the best. Also, the facial expressions. Also, very cool project!!!

Thank you Muffinmittz! I am happy you enjoyed the video!

Nice Jenga set! I also bought a box o scraps. I probably don’t stand a chance with talented competition but this has been a fun challenge and has also pushed me to complete a project that I have been putting off. Good luck to you and I can’t wait to see the winner and runner up’s projects!

There was more wood than I was expecting to work with. I couldn’t decide on one particular item, so I decided to make several gifts. A mallet for me that I have been wanting to do for a while, a jewelry valet for my wife, and a small cutting board for both of us. I think I still have enough wood left over to make something for my parents and my kids but I haven’t decided on what yet. I’m not sure if we are supposed to submit one item or everything from the scraps. But my idea was to maximize the scraps. That way even if I don’t win, I still got a great deal and was able to give something to loved ones.

I’m intrigued now about how the offset weight of each piece will step the game up to the next level!!!????

Come find out!

I guessed correctly! Looks good. I like the little extra the epoxy gives it.

Great video! And a cool project! I liked how you worked to align your project with the mission of Samara, to bring people together. (Although Jenga can get pretty heated sometimes😂)
