Awesome!!! I look forward to seeing your videos.
I’m glad you are doing this, my wife loves this kind of topic.
Great introduction. Welcome to the vlogosphere!
Cool set-up. I’m looking forward to episode 1. Can you throw in some downloadable plans and specs for the projects?
looking forward to the show
Hey, I’m not gonna email in a comment when I can pop one right in your blog! Right now you have blogger set up so that only someone with a blogger account can post a comment. So my first comment is to suggest you open that up so that others can comment and take advantage of link love between vlogs. Second, I want to say Hooray! Another vlogger in Phoenix, finally! I live here too. Do you know any other Phoenix vloggers? We should have a meetup. Third, great job! I haven’t done any woodworking since I made a keyholder in 7th grade shop, but I’ve got tools. So maybe your lessons will give me a push. Thanks for doing this!
Right on! I don’t even have a garage full of tools but I can tell I’ll enjoy watching anyway!
Looking forward to it!

Enough talk. Those look like neat tools hanging on the wall, let’s see them in action!

Very pro looking video.
Thanks for the link on WoodNet Forums. You have done a wonderful job putting the first video together. The music, titles, humor and content blend together very comfortably. Steady camera (tripod, I assume) contributes to the perception of professional production values. I’ll keep coming back to see what you develop next.
Hmmm, cool idea. I remember watching some of the PBS shows that had the traditional tools wood worker. I can’t remember the name. He didn’t use any eletronics just original tools.
I’m not a craftsperson but there is something about handmade furniture and art pieces that has a resonance with me.
Welcome aboard, vlog on…
Gena
Thanks for the feedback and the warm welcome everybody!! I really cant wait to get the more videos up there!!
I fixed the comment setting so now anyone can post. I am new to Blogger and didn’t realize the default setting limits posts to registered users only. Thats just bad for business. :)
I will get the next video up ASAP, that is if I can stop laughing in front of the camera.
Thanks again guys.
Now go build something!
Marc
Thanks (on behalf of those not registered with blogger) for allowing anonymous entries. This is a test to make sure it works.

Marc,
I love your new vlog! How cool is that? You, of course, are handsome, articulate and intelligent. I can’t wait to see more! I am new to this vlog stuff, but if you make it easy for us wood hacks, then we will be sure to check in. Keep making sawdust and I will keep checking in. Best of luck!

Hummingcrow,
The only other vlogger I know of locally is Israel from Izzy Video. I have a link to his site on my main page. He has some really awesome videos on digital video techniques and he really knows his stuff. Check him out at http://www.izzyvideo.com
Awesome! I used to watch those wood working shows on TV all the time.
Thanks for making this!
– Charles
great stuff
bring on the vids
jedo in Australia
Very Nice! Thanks for the heads up on woodnet.net, I will check back often to see your most recent progress. Great podcast!
Very nice intro video. Your idea holds wonderful promise. Best of luck, I’ll be watching.
Nice vlog you got there Marc. I really enjoy it and I whish you all the best!
Wow! To imagine that I knew you before you were a PROFESSIONAL DORK! I know you work really hard in your quest for popularity, so I expect nothing except exceptional work!
No posts from highschool friends please! lol
Mark what router table do you have (any pics or plans)or is it a stock item. By the way you’re doing a great job it’s very impressive, it’s great to see young people like you with passion I’ve been in love with wood for most of my 57 years & pro for 38 of’em & you still give me new ways of doing things, that’s what is so great about what we do you can never know all of it & the opportunity to try out something new makes tomorrow in the workshop like waking up on Christmas morning. Thanks keep it up

Unfortunately, I don’t have plans for the router table. I just kind of made it up as I went along. The good news, however, is that a new router table is in my future. This one has been knocked around so much that its literally falling apart. So within the next 6 months or so, I would really like to construct a new one. A nice well thought out design is definitely in order. So keep your eyes open for that one.
Thanks Trevor!
I told someone togo to your site. can i get a prize.
Love the show Marc. Just started a nine month joinery course. Handcut divetails. Good times, learnin’ to love the ol’ Stanley 5 too. Keep it real mandingo
Very informative. I learned a lot. I am a beginner and i think it is great that someone has made it easy for people to get started on woodworking. These videos really give people more convidence in their abilities and are very encouraging. !!!!!!!
Great Vids!
Soooooooooooooooo…………….I was just wondering if there is any way for you to track visitors to your site and/or downloaders of your podcast? Have you hit 5,000 yet? I like being able to go back to the beginning (of your podcast I mean) and see you over three years ago saying what you hope to do with it and then analyzing what you have done. I’m still analyzing the data :) but I got to tell you, so far so good! Don’t ever quit, even if you lose all your fans except me! LOL I’m still waiting for an invite to be on your show, by the way! Anyway, just wanted to offer my encouragement and say keep up the good work!
Hey thanks Frank. Surprised to see a comment coming in on this old post. :) And what a difference a few years makes eh? I am proud to say that our videos get 5000 downloads within the first day of posting. Usually hitting 40,000 after a month. :)
And not a chance of me stopping any time soon. You won’t get rid of me that easy! :)
Great job, I find the page looking for some Powermatic tools, start watching your last video and decide to see all since 1 there yet, I hope keep learning from You and this cool place. Thanks
We’ve come a long way since this video William. Thanks for stopping by and have fun looking around.
Your podcast is great and really exciting. Thanks alot, man. I just got started in woodworking a few weeks ago and am just loving the spectrum of fun, relaxation and pride that’s coming with it. I’ve only seen three of your shows and I’m already planning on making you my #1 instructor for just the reasons you listed in your introduction (as well as the fact that you just seem like you’ll make this alot of fun).
Let’s Make Some Sawdust!
It’s a lot of fun, Marc is a great guy, welcome to the gun show, join the guild.
Welcome to the fold Chad. Well the good news is you only have about 130 more videos to catch up! :) Seriously though, glad to have you here.
And thanks Frank for the endorsement. Gun show indeed! :)
Wow! JUST found the website and am really stoked to get caught up. I’ve browsed the website a bit and look forward to every bit of info. I work out of town, 3 days on (72 hour shifts), 9 days off. Your website is the perfect thing to pass the time, keep the juices flowing and get me all ampted up for my time off. Thanks for your dedication and sharing!!!
Steve
p.s.: will join the Guild soon…
Welcome Steve! Hope you enjoy the content! Also hope to see you in the Guild soon. :)
Have watched tons of videos already,but never seen the first one till now. Thanks so much for all you do!
My son and I recently discovered your website. We will be catching up on all your videos.
Great job.
Hello, found your old podcast on cutting boards off youtube. Instantly connected with your style and videos. Believe it or not I have powered thru almost all your videos. Keep up the great work.
I did make some cutting boards (14) and they will be our guests presents for our family Christmas party we are hosting. I stuck with the long grain version. I did make one end grain but I dont think its as ascetically pleasing as the long grain even though more durable.
Take care from the newbee in Chicago.
Thanks Dave and welcome! So 14 boards?!?! You’ve been busy my friend! Thanks for stopping by.
