Tell me you didn't enjoy his interactions with other woodworkers. That the 2 hrs. went by just like that and you wanted more. Show your appreciation and LIKE and subscribe..
Thanks for your kind comment. I think most of the views comes from TV viewing, where it's harder to like and sub with the TV remote. But thanks for noticing
@@JesperMakesYou're very welcome.
its not a good video and since when dose the views have anything to do with likes quit dick riding
I enjoyed, felt inspired, Liked, Subscribed.
Auntie Carrollyn, you're like the cheerleader every CZcamsr wishes they had; thank you for encouraging others to show some love! And Eric, big thanks for enjoying the video and deciding to stick around for more - I'm super thrilled to have you on board! It’s fantastic to know the video could inspire you.
We need more genuinely good hearted people like you on this planet. thank you
Hey there, your words mean a lot - I'm just a guy with a passion for woodworking trying to sprinkle a bit of joy and inspiration around. Thank you for being here and adding to the good vibes! Let's keep spreading the positivity, one project at a time. Cheers!
@@JesperMakes Love your work, just wanted to let you know that Kamikoto is NOT a Japanese Brand nor is it made of any kind of "Japanese Steel" 420J2 steel (Genten series) with a HRC of 53 +/-2 HRC (so 51-55 HRC) and their and SLD steel (Ganjo series) is basically D2 Tool Steel, with an HRC of 62+/-2 (60-64 HRC). Their Damascus is made from AUS-10, 67-layers "Damascus" with an HRC of (~)58...
All around it's Crappy Steel and from the numbers it is not Heat Treated properly not to mention that they are mostly made ALL made in Yangjiang, China, and ONLY their Ganjo Series is made in Niigata Prefecture in Japan, "where blacksmithing can be traced back to before the Edo period" as they say on their Website...That's only WHERE it is Made, not how and by seeing the Quality myself, I wouldn't think that's something a Japanese Knifemaker (handmade they say...) would be happy to waste their lives making Crappy Knives for Fooling People who don't know any better...Not only that, they use JAPAN for Marketing purposes and that's pretty Disgusting. (Kind of like a "Made in U.S.A" product but made by Illegal Aliens IN the U.S.A...)
Same thing with Huusk "Japan"...(the "Viking Kitchen Knife" you also see Sponsoring CZcamsrs...Again, NOT made in Japan, but China! And they are made from 18/10 Stainless Steel, the Very Best Steel to make Pots and Pans and other types of Cookware, but it's DEFINITELY NOT a Steel made for ANY Kind of Knife Use! Not in the least Suitable!
I understand needing the money for the sponsorship but sometimes it Helps your own Subscribers get Scammed!
I don't know why people don't just buy REAL Japanese knives made in Echizen, Sakai or Seki for the same or less. They are Available!
Appreciate the detailed info, really. The last thing I want is for my audience to get scammed. I'll definitely look more into the specs and origin of the products I showcase. I'm all about authenticity here. Got any suggestions for legit Japanese knife brands? 🪓☕

I cannot agree more. I am a Christian and a US ARMY Veteran, Sooooooooooooo my Core Values are Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage. I have been trying since March to make contact with another wonderful person and woman. I have fallen truly in love with the lovely Ms. Jennette M.F. McCurdy. I hope that she will allow Mee to collaborate with her on Love, Life, Music, and Literature. My CZcams channel is named, Rusty METAL J.
You're one of these CZcamsrs where a 3 hour duration doesn't appear daunting up front. You've got this mixture of unexpected jokes/twists, smart editing and a way to explain complex subjects in laymans terminology. In my mind I'm always subconsciously looking for distractions, but your video format has a way of keeping me focused better than any teacher ever could manage to.
Hey Henkjan, I'm genuinely touched by your words! It's fantastic to hear that the blend of humor, editing, and simplicity in my videos can keep you engaged and focused. It's always a goal to make content that not only educates but entertains and resonates with people. Thanks for being here and for your encouraging words; it fuels the passion to keep creating. Remember, coffee solves everything, including keeping the focus sharp! Cheers! 🛠☕
I can only echo many of the comments above. I've seen all the videos but I really enjoyed this remixed compilation. All around a long but excellent video
1. Interesting content
2. Great sel- depreciation wit & humour
3. Great video editing
Always jnow it's going to be "interesting" when Jesper mentions " epoxy"....😅😅😅
very, very well said :)
Absolutely agree, probably one of the longest i have ever watched without running to watch it in double speed😅...
Glad you left the mistakes you made so others can learn from them. Plus how you was completely honest means tons. Thank you.
Appreciate your kind words, Ryan. Sharing both successes and mistakes is how we all grow!
At first I thought I got suckered in to watching a dude building pallets, luckily I hung with it and being a woodworker I really appreciate getting an inside look at people who take it to a different level. Watching visionary craftsmen work expands thought and takes my work in whole new directions.
Glad you hung in there! Watching others can indeed spark new directions in our own work. Any visionary projects you're tackling?
Jesper, you've gone from being inspired to being an inspiration. You deserve every accolade that you get. Keep up the great work, mate, and don't let anyone tell you that your videos don't matter. 👍🇩🇰🇦🇺🍺🍺
Hey Chris, thanks mate. Means a lot. Keep on having fun with all your new machinery!
I can't believe the prices you get for your work. I guess I am underestimating the taste of people these days.
@@richardmccann4815if anything in today's society I thought some of it was cheap considering the work that goes into it!
Dang man get on your knees any more for this man and he’s gonna get tired of your mouth 😂
@@richardmccann4815 The sheer effort and dedication that goes in, the start compared to what it becomes... admit it, those prices are a bargain. Sure it's not priced like IKEA, but what you get is a centerpiece of any room, instead of forgettable flatpacked furniture for the guestroom.
The way you gave the path finder table to your mother in law was absolutely heartwarming. You give me hope in my own creative process!
Thanks, that,s so great to hear.
I absolutely adore the way you've turned interactions with other woodworkers into a part of your editorial voice. You're funny, but it also shines a light on some incredibly wholesome and supportive people. It's really lovely to watch!
So glad you noticed that! The woodworking community is full of awesome people. You part of any woodworking groups?
@57:11 Alternate your clamps, top, bottom. might help with the bowing, instead of dumbells. @@JesperMakes
nice!
WOW!!! The Pathfinder table almost made me cry tears of elation!!! Absolutely the most BEAUTIFUL sewing table I have EVER seen in my Life! I am a long long time seamstress (started at 11 yr old, now 73) and I am drooling over your jaw-dropping creation. I wish I had a special someone that gave me a table like yours. It's stunning!!!! You have real creative talent Jasper. 💯💯💯
Your words mean the world, Mia! A lifetime of seamstressing, huh? What's the most amazing thing you've created?
@@JesperMakes Most amazing? Gosh there's been soooo many Jasper. I've done all types of home sewing from baby clothes to deer blinds, and everything u can imagine in between! I think for me, the most amazing was the canopy over the higher priced seats that I created n sewed for 5th3rd Baseball Field in Grand Rapids MI (many many years ago!) So I think it's safe to say if it fits into a sewing machine.....I can sew it!
Thanks for asking!!!
I'm not a woodworker, I'm a blacksmith but I couldn't help but watch this entire video. It's nice to see someone who works the way I do. Maybe it's because we are Scandinavian. Anyways I'm happy to subscribe, keep up the good work jasper.👍
Hey there, thank you so much for the subscribe, Johnny! It's pretty cool to hear from a fellow craftsman from a different field. Seems like that Scandinavian spirit of craftsmanship and ingenuity runs deep in both of us, doesn't it? 😄 I'd be thrilled to learn about some of your blacksmith projects sometime. Let's keep the passion for crafting alive, no matter the material we work with. Stay tuned for more adventures, and keep on forging awesome stuff in your corner too! Got a favorite project you've worked on? Cheers!
in my younger days I was a pipeline welder by trade. I have much respect for those that can shape steel to the will. someday I plan to incorporate steel into my woodworking projects.
That's awesome to hear, Kleve! Pipeline welding is no small feat; it takes some serious skill. Merging steel and wood in a project can create a unique blend of textures and aesthetics. Keep those creative gears turning! 🛠️☕ #CoffeeSolvesEverything
2:48:10 Awesome 🌟. I’m a 75 year old woman who lives in southern France. In my “golden” years I’ve taken to watching people doing things rather than doing them myself 🥴🤷🏼♀️. your video is a delight, the imagination, the work, the humour. More please 🙂👏🏻
Nature man, viking man, living in an awesome peaceful environment, your work is appealing on so many levels!
Thanks, Juliet! It's all about blending the old ways with the new, right? Thanks for the love 🌲🛠☕
Watching this very very long compilation with you just being a regular guy being yourself has earned my subscription 😁
Appreciate the subscription! So, you're a fan of the long-form stuff? 😁
A handyman's work is never done!!! These projects are pure genius!!!
Thanks a lot, Matthew! 😄 You hit the nail on the head, there's always another project waiting in the wings, right? It's all about having fun and letting that creativity flow. Got any genius projects of your own in the pipeline? Keep up the great handyman work! 💪🛠 #CoffeeSolvesEverything
One of the most inspiring stories on youtube while still staying so down to earth and humble. Wonderful.
Thanks a ton! Staying grounded and true to myself while sharing my journey is really important to me. I'm thrilled to hear that it resonates with you. Remember, a good dose of humility, paired with a hot cup of coffee, can solve everything! What part of my story did you find the most inspiring?
@@JesperMakes That sometimes you just have to take a chance and believe in yourself. I can honestly say I only started my journey by watching makers like you on theirs.
The difference between a good wood worker and a bad woodworker is a good woodworker can hide his mistakes 🤠👍
Haha, you're spot on! Mistakes just add character, right? Ever turned a goof into a feature?
And a great woodworker makes mistakes look like they were intentional!
Sir, this is one of the best 2 hours and 48 minutes I've ever spent on CZcams. Thank you :)
So glad you enjoyed it, Yudi! Got a favorite part in those 2 hours and 48 minutes? Coffee Solves Everything! ☕
Ignore those people who slate your work and channel. They just feel threatened by you because you’re willing to try something new, when they’re stuck in the past and doing the same old crap. This is the first video of yours that I’ve seen, and I’m horrified at how many other CZcamsrs are willing to slate you at the drop of a hat. Keep doing what you’re doing, “most” of us enjoy it. 👍
I just want to say that your pallet table is absolutely awesome! It is truly, a one of a kind, piece of art! It looks great in your office and I hope it gives you decades of enjoyment! Very well done! 👍
Thanks a lot! I'm already enjoying it to the fullest. Remember, a good coffee table is nothing without great coffee to go with it! 😁
Couldn’t stop watching! The mark of a good craftsman is fixing things when it goes wrong. Brilliant
You sir, should be the Danish entry for an Academy Award. Thank you for doing what you do, you're an inspiration, a humble and kind human, and you make me laugh every time. And man, you're videos are well made! Keep it up, you're changing lives.
Silas, that's some high praise! An Academy Award? I don't know about that, but I'll definitely keep the videos coming. Anything in particular you'd like to see in a future project? 🎬☕
@@JesperMakes I trust your creativity completely but I am partial to pallets and upcycling… (Is it ironic that my smart phone doesn’t recognize the word “upcycling”? Got autocorrected to a bunch of gibberish.)
Haha, sounds like your phone needs an upcycling lesson! Noted on the pallets and upcycling love.
Jesper, I can’t express how much I enjoy your videos. They are more than just woodworking, they are stories with passion. Your videos have given me so many ideas and most importantly, they give me motivation! Thank you for sharing the real side of learning.
That's awesome to hear! It's all about the journey,
You make me feel so much better about myself! I get ideas and people think I'm nuts but I do things the way my little brain thinks. They turn out good and sometimes crazy good, and in the end it's the hysterical memories that make the projects so good!! You're my new favorite channel!
Haha, that's the spirit! Nothing wrong with letting your little brain run wild, that's where the magic happens. Got a recent project you're particularly proud of? 🛠️☕
I enjoyed your story and videos. I watched for 4 hours straight and didn’t realize it went so fast because I was mesmerized. I love the humor and gentle tone of your voice. I wish you wonderful adventures in your life. 🎉
Debbie, that's incredible! Four hours flew by like that? 🎉 What project caught your eye the most?
This is the first time seeing Jesper’s channel and like his sense of humor, although it’s a bit tame for my taste, but that’s probably a good reason why I don’t have my own CZcams channel. His entrepreneurial spirit is very inspirational and hope they find a talent to feed and grow to follow a similar path. Too many channels out there in the DIY universe without humor. There’s no reason we can’t laugh while we learn and nine out of 10 woodworkers agree that humor helps you retain knowledge.
Glad you appreciate the vibe! Who's that 1 out of 10 woodworker who doesn't like humor? Must be a real buzzkill, huh? Got a woodworking project in mind?
i just came across this video randomly and man... i still can't find my words how awesome this is. thank you for being you and letting the rest of us experience all from here. cheers!
Hey George, welcome to the adventure! I'm stoked to hear you enjoyed the video. Remember, there's a whole lot more where that came from, so feel free to dive into the channel.
What a truly amazing office you’ve made. Beautiful tables. Blessings, from the beautiful hills of Tennessee.
thanks a ton for the warm words! Sending you all the best vibes right back from Denmark to the beautiful hills of Tennessee. Stay tuned for more adventures from the workshop; there's always something brewing here (besides coffee, of course 😄). Cheers!
Jasper is a ROCKSTAR. Entertaining and he makes his own rules. Keep up the good work J-Rock. 😅😊
Ronnie, you're making me blush here calling me a rockstar! 😅 Thanks for the epic nickname, J-Rock might just stick. Keep rocking on your side too!
Your adventure with wood is wonderful. You've come a long way. Your talents deserve it. Dear friend, I am very glad that you mentioned me at the end of the video. I was very touched. You are truly a loyal friend. And one day I would like to host you in my country. You are always invited as my special guest. I truly congratulate you on your personality, talents and friendship. You are the man of success. And thanks to you, I learned how to drink cider. :-) You're amazing, my friend. Congratulations. Big greetings. All the best. Stay healthy and happy. Kind regards. Your friend Mehmet who is proud of you
Hi Mehmet, thank you so much for this wonderful comment. I would love to come and visit, and thank you for all your help and support right from the beginning.
Normally not a big epoxy fan - especially from "wood workers" - and river tables probably even less so. But this isn't a river table. It's a magical item. It looks like a wizard's library. You must therefore be the wizard. Absolutely the best use of epoxy and wood in combination that I've seen to date. Love it. 👍
Wizard status? I'll take it! Coffee and magic, what a combo. What would make you consider working with epoxy? 🧙♂️
Oh my goodness... you do amazing wood work. Never stop what you are doing.
Thank you! Don't worry, no stopping in sight. What's the last project that blew you away?
As an American who lived a year in Denmark, this video makes me very envious of the life you have in the land of Tubby Gold!! I am going to send this video to my friend Thomas from Nørre Snede.
I love to see the Danish people prospering... You are truly an outstanding society who live the truest expression of democracy and equality. I am proud to be connected to your country, and admire the entrepreneurial spirit of what you're doing. **Keep Going**.
Tak! Your kind words about Denmark mean a lot. I'm glad you enjoyed your time here. Keep in touch with your Danish friends, and yes, I'll keep going!
The title didn't lie. Honestly, I'm surprised I made it to the end of the video, but I don't regret it
Sticking through to the end, I appreciate that! Any favorite parts or takeaways from the video?
Finally! Wifey and I watched this over the course of a week during dinner. Some she had not seen before, others brought back fond memories of Jesper stuffing things up, and we played many games of _Spot the Fixit Fingers Shirt/Sticker/Cameo_ 😆 I am glad to see this experiment has worked well with many people enjoying reliving your greatest hits to date. Here's to many more - James & Zhaomin
Hey James & Zhaomin! Haha, I'm glad you enjoyed the little trip down memory lane, spotting all the Fixit Fingers appearances must have been like a mini-game within the video! 😆 It's been a wild journey with many more adventures to come. Thanks for being a part of it and here's to creating more fond memories (and maybe a few more stuff-ups for good measure)! Cheers!

Jesper, I love your work! So simple yet so elegant. Plus the stories behind making each piece is an absolute inspiration to me. Thank you for sharing your work with the world!!!
Hey Andrew, thanks a ton! It's all about the story behind each piece, isn't it? Makes every creation that much more special. Keep finding inspiration and who knows, maybe you'll be sharing your own stories through your creations soon, if you aren't already! Cheers! 🛠☕
Look, neither am i an woodworker or interrested in any of the builds. that said, your voice, your dedication, explaination make it a wonderfull wholesome video. Thank you.
That means a lot, Roy! I'm glad my videos could bring a bit of joy to your day.
You my friend are as talented as you are entertaining! I loved your narration as much as your creations. 👏🏽👏🏽
Ah, you're making me blush! What's your favorite way to mix creativity and entertainment?
Incredible story Jesper! I wish you continued success. All the best from the US!
Thanks, Steve! Sending good vibes right back at ya from Denmark! Ever tried woodworking?
@@JesperMakesthank you, I am new sub just now today 😊
@@JesperMakes yes, grew up woodworking. my family owns a cabinetry business. Also have a granite counter top business as well. The older I get the more I really appreciate the art of woodworking
This is my new favorite DIY on CZcams, I love Jesper's sense of humor, it's even better with his accent. It didn't feel like 2 and a half hours, it went by way too quick.
So happy you're digging the channel! Time flies when you're having fun, doesn't it? What other topics would you love to see?
Geez this is the first video I ever saw on your channel and I could'nt stop watching. Nuff love and respect from Jamaica
First impressions are lasting! Big love back to Jamaica. 🇯🇲 What keeps you watching?
Your videos are extremely inspiring!
The materials you use, as well as your methods and homemade jigs, make this type of craft seem more plausible and more accessible to people who have little experience. You Sir, are a genius.
Keep doing things other guys tell you not to! You’re obviously doing something right. 👍
Hey, thanks! Glad I can make this stuff feel more accessible. What's holding you back from diving into your own project? 😄
He is the type of person I will support.. good story and great job. Lots of inspiration.
Thanks, Gilbert! Your support means a lot. I'm all about sharing stories and inspiration. Here's to more great projects and stories!
Fell asleep watching CZcams... woke up 15 minutes into this video ended up watching the rest of it... was genuinely impressed! held my breath, felt his sorrow on woodworking mistakes and was sad myself when he said one of them didn't sell only for him to give it away to his mother inlaw. Then you see him rush home only to see it had sold and hes back outside the inlaw's I verbally laughed and was really happy for him! I subscribed :) Anyone reading this should also.
You are on the way to becoming a good movie director, Jesper! Thank you for
Good music
Good laugh
Humanity
Handwork
Honesty
Respecting your mother and mother in law
"Always finish what you started,"
You never give up
I salute you....
I found your channel by accident today. I was so caught up in your work, your narrating ...your personality! You're a Dynamo! Great story and thank you for taking your viewers along with you on your journey!
So glad you stumbled across the channel! What caught your eye first, the woodwork or the storytelling? 😊
@@JesperMakes definitely storytelling for me.. good job.
Hey Brock, do you! I love your videos. I’ve picked up quite a few how to’s from you. Keep living the dream and enjoy it as long as you can. Thank you and God bless!
Hey there! I'm thrilled to hear that you've picked up some tips from my videos! Just to clarify, I'm Jesper, not Brock, but no worries at all! I'm here to help you live the woodworking dream with me. Thanks for the kind words and for being a part of this journey. Keep on crafting! 🛠️ God bless!
this man understands what freedom really looks like... might not be rich but happy for the most part🎉
You nailed it, happiness doesn't have a price tag! What's your idea of freedom? 🛠️🎉
@@JesperMakes for the most part having a place to call home. where no one can hear me or be bothered by me... a place where thare is no rules or regulations... no one limiting me from growing or shooting for the sky...
I dont need a new fancy anything i need a life with no limits & no repercussions of living big or to the fullest. I would consider that free in my eyes.
Its hard to be nice & injoy your life at the same time...
Bubba there saying your table is ugly is visibly turning green. Not with disgust, but with envy.
Haha, envy's a shade of green I can appreciate! Thanks for having my back.
It's like watching the past 3 years all over again. Great video.
Im glad you enjoyed this little blast from the past! It's been quite the journey, hasn't it? Do you have a favorite moment or project from the last three years?
Jesper, Thank you. I have wanted to get into woodworking for years. I'm kind of in the same situation you were. I'm moving in this direction. But regardless of that, I love your videos, your humor, and your humility. Be well and be strong like a Viking.
Hey there! It's awesome to hear that you're finding inspiration to start woodworking. Remember, every Viking started as a learner too! Dive in, start with what you can, and most importantly, enjoy the process. Be sure to keep a cup of coffee handy; it solves everything, even the first-time woodworking jitters. Be well and embrace your inner Viking! Stay tuned for more adventures and thanks for the encouragement.
I am 6 minutes 21 seconds into the video and even though I’m calling it a night I already know I’m coming back to watch the full thing. Not sure what it is but I really want to see this journey play out. Keep up the great work Jesper, leaving a like and subscribing.
Thanks for the support, Nick! Hope the rest of the video lives up to your expectations!
I love your 2h30 movie, Jasper. Thank you for being a human being. Your hard work and dedication motivated me. Your honesty, mistakes, pumping music, good English and jokes made me what's the whole thing. You should become a movie director too! Well done Jesper... (and wife).
If I could subscribe again I would, you are awesome! I have been doing professional woodworking and furniture for 40 years and in some of your projects you make me seem a novice. Please keep it up and thank you for sharing your journey!
Hey @SugarCreekWoodwright, wow, that's a massive compliment coming from a veteran like you! I'm just here having fun and sharing what I learn along the way. It's pretty awesome to hear that even experienced woodworkers can find something new in my videos. Let's keep learning and creating together!
I watched this in its entirety over the course of 2 days. I have to say, I honestly loved every second of it. This video has been very inspirational. I really appreciate how beautiful your handcrafted items are. Magnificent!! Yes, I liked and am now subscribed.
Awesome to hear you watched it all, Kano! Got a project in mind after all that inspiration?
I was daydreaming about doing woodworking for hobby, after watching your video I finally started a CZcams channel and it is so much fun. Thanks for inspiring
I know long content isn't for everyone but I'm at work and watching/listening is great
Excellent! Subscribed!
Welcome to the crew, Aaron! What made you click that subscribe button?
@@JesperMakes you inspired me and I want to see where this journey takes you.
Hey there Jesper! Thank you for your videos, you (and a few other creators!) inspired me to make my first cutting board, and now have requests from other family members for more! Thanks again, and keep up the fantastic work!
Good on ya
Hey, that's awesome to hear, and I'm thrilled to have inspired you to start woodworking and create cutting boards. It's a fantastic feeling to share your creations with family and loved ones. Keep up the great work, and if you ever have questions or need tips, don't hesitate to reach out. Woodworking is all about spreading the creativity and joy! 🔨🌳😄
i have been a woodworker for over55 years. I now am 75. For a young man you have a lot of talent
Wow, 55 years in the game-that's incredible! I appreciate the kind words. It's an honor to hear that from someone as experienced as you
This was it. The other one I watched. Redoing your office, the wood block river table, Sharing what you worked on in the beginning. Good stuff. Don't take yourself too seriously, don't hide your mistakes from folks and approach it all with enthusiasm and joy. Go Jesper Go. Steady
Love that you're vibing with my approach. Mistakes are just lessons, right? Got a favorite mistake you've learned from?
This was absolutely amazing! Every second of it. Thank you for this. I wish I had a talent for woodworking!
Hey, talent starts with trying, right? Got any projects you're thinking about diving into? Coffee solves everything, including the fear of the first cut! 😄🔨
Jokes over guys he locks his doors now. I checked 😢
Haha, you caught me! Maybe next time I'll leave a coffee out for ya. ☕
@@JesperMakescareful about all the groveling for likes. You might start getting people showing up: some of the 4.5 million people who’ve now seen it.
You seriously give me motivation like no other brother. Love your sense of humor and your amazing dedication. Great to see it pay off. Classic success story.
Great job. All of it. The videos, the wood work, the good vibes. Everything.
The migr@nts are rubbing their chins..
Glad u checked
I don't think you can ever see the true and full beauty of something until you see it built.
It is awesome how each problem you face, not only do you keep going but, you work through the issue and try different things. There is more than one way to fix things normally.
Jasper….Hey I just stumbled onto your channel! I’m only been doing wood working about 3 years and have been messing with epoxy art and cutting boards . Really enjoyed this video and your projects are very cool! You are really inspiring ! And you really have some great tips and tricks! Thank you! Really looking forward to watching more of your projects!
Hey Mike, welcome to the channel! It's great to hear that you're finding some inspiration and tips here. Epoxy art and cutting boards sound like a fantastic venture. Remember, every mistake is just a new trick learned for next time! Can't wait to hear what you think of the upcoming projects. Cheers! 🛠☕
You're a really down to earth guy, a real inspiration and an example to a lot of us. I really enjoyed watching your videos and thanks for being such a great inspirator to the DIY community!
Hey @janzelf, big thanks for your kind words! It's comments like yours that keep me fired up to create and share more with you all. Remember, a bit of coffee and courage can get you to create some great stuff too! Stay tuned for more adventures, and feel free to share any of your own DIY journeys. Cheers!
That's the longest video I have watched on CZcams ever. I couldn't switch it off. Not only was it entertaining but inspiring to watch.
Wow, that's high praise, Benji! Stoked you found it both entertaining and inspiring. Ever get so into a project you lost track of time?
@JesperMakes Always. I can loose days working on something lol 👍
I know that feeling!
That river table is so beautiful, I almost cried... after all the desperate measures to contain the unexpected, it turned out great!
Catherine, your reaction to the river table is the highest compliment. I'm thrilled it moved you. It was a journey full of surprises!
Hi Jasper! I've just finished watching your video and I must admit that I haven't been so hooked on any commertial film for a while 😳 Congratulations! 🎉 I hope that your passion for woodworking brings you a lot of money, so that you can comfortably do what you like most. Just don't forget to drop a viedo or two for us here 😜 I wish you all the best!
Hey there! Thanks a ton for the kind words and the well wishes. Don't worry, I've got plenty more videos up my sleeve to share with all of you. Remember, the best stories are yet to come! Anything in particular you'd like to see in a future video? Cheers! 🛠☕
@@JesperMakes Honestly? I'm totally satisfied with your choice of material 😊😉 I watch other woodworkers (I'd like to do some woodworking myself, but have nowhere to actually do that 😭) mainly because you all do what I wish I could. And just to tell you, all of you are creative and resourceful, but what makes YOU stand out from the others is your sense of humour, not being afraid of making mistakes and laughing at them publically, and stubbornness to learn more and do better next time. Well done!
God video, God redigering, God humor, Godt Engelsk + Kreativitet = God underholdning ! Alt succes velfortjent 👍🏻😉
Hey, appreciate the love, especially coming from a new subscriber! Anything in particular you enjoyed most in the video? Coffee Solves Everything, remember? 😉
When you're an artist, you see materials in a way no others see. That's why you can create objects of beauty even from what others think is rubbish.
Mistakes sharing is the one of your attractive parts in your videos. Thank you.
That's the spirit! Sharing mistakes is all part of the learning process.
You've just made my life easier. I was in the process of making notes on the top videos playlist, and you went and put 'em all together for me here. Thankya, neighbor!
1. That first "not very good" video is one of the first of yours I watched, and I think it's pretty great (MUCH better than what I can do so far).
2. I think the "breaking down pallets" was actually the first (after finding @DainerMade's pallet breakdown video-thank you, sweet algorithm!).
3. That workbench will always blow my mind. Wooden art. Pure. Definitely not simple.
4. I bought a vise (still not set up) after seeing the europallet pull-apart technique you use. Smarter, not harder.
5. Have we had the appropriate moment of silence for the pallet-buster board (1 or 2) that ended up in the big workbench?
6. "Nail-free pallets"? Believe it or not: I've got a source for exactly that! Video pending ...
7. That adjustable-height, multi-faced, dogholed table was "just" a side-project, and it's genius (and beautiful).
8. I've got new mask filters, too, and forget to put it on most of the time. "I'll see myself out." (literally?)
9. Still can't believe that you included me me in that video. Thanks again for "being excellent" to me. "We're not worthy!"
10. I bought a dado stack (still not installed ... a theme is developing) because of the bench video.
11. I'm trying desperately to put off buying a jointer.
12. Math = Magic (this equation adds up to me)
13. I'm inspired by @MorleyKert, too!
14. @DainerMade made me want a de-nailing gun, too.
15. "Why not unite the whole world?"
Exactly!
16. I can tell that I haven't been doing this stuff long enough because I don't yet hate sanding.
17. That slab matrix rig is amazing.
18. Juice groove cutting intimidates me. Someday ...
19. Mom is having a Maple tree taken down, so I'm planning to try some "cookie" projects.
20. The sun-and-sea table project is another early-watch video. Almost decided I should give up and sell all my tools. It's THAT good.
21. I've found some curb-alert chipboard, so herringbone projects are in the offing.
22. I've tried a burn finish. Fail! Good thing it was just an experiment.
23. The Hobbit-esque table is great!
24. Epoxy tragedy? Yes, that is my fear, especially since I'm not good yet at editing montage sequences.
25. I now know to save the spool bolts from the spool by my rv that is now too weather damaged to be turned into a vise-bench.
26. What is the technical name for the workbench leg tenons? Quarter-lap?!
27. Rest in Power: PALLET BUSTER boards!
28. You don't need me to tell you how beautiful those drawer-fronts are, right?
29. When I try my pallet block table, I _can_ miter saw them to uniform height with a stop block set-up, right? I don't have a flattening rig (or the work space for one) yet.
30. The music cue timing on the time-lapse is excellent.
31. I love seeing the "rubbish wood" come back to life.
32. I hadn't noticed the handmade bench dogs until this video. Very nice!
33. I forgot about the scraps for bonfire bit. I actually made a video I didn't post asking about "how scrappy is too scrappy to actually trash?" I've got my answer!
34. Shorts in tall grass?! Are there no ticks in Denmark?
35. I've got a chainsaw-mill rig. Haven't used it yet (yes, again). Hoping to harvest some walnut trees on a little piece of land I own. Not in the budget quite yet.
36. I showed Mom the bench video to explain what I want to try when her Maple tree is taken down.
37. This long vid is a great experiment! Do you get the same credit when I watch at 1.5 speed (and have CZcams Premium [no ads])?
Cheers!
Hey Tim,
Thanks for sticking around since that "not very good" video. We all start somewhere, right?
Ah, the sweet algorithm! It's like a matchmaker for content creators and viewers.
Wooden art is the best compliment for that workbench. Thanks!
Smarter, not harder is the way to go. Glad the vise idea resonated with you.
A moment of silence for the pallet-buster board. 🙏
Nail-free pallets - loved that video!
Side projects sometimes turn out to be the best ones.
Safety first, always! But yeah, I forget sometimes too.
You're absolutely worthy! And thanks for being a part of this community.
Dado stacks are game changers. You'll love it.
Jointers are tempting, aren't they?
Math = Magic. Couldn't agree more.
@MorleyKert is a legend!
De-nailing guns are a blessing.
Uniting the world, one project at a time.
Ah, the innocence before the sanding hatred sets in. 😂
Thanks! That slab matrix rig is awesome.
Juice grooves can be intimidating, but practice makes perfect.
Maple "cookie" projects sound delicious... I mean, delightful!
Never give up! Every project is a learning experience.
Herringbone is such a classic look.
Burn finishes can be tricky, but keep experimenting.
Thanks! I loved making that Hobbit table.
Epoxy can be unpredictable, but that's part of the fun.
Saving spool bolts is a smart move.
Yep, they're called quarter-lap joints!
RIP PALLET BUSTER boards. They served us well.
Thanks! Those drawer-fronts were a labor of love.
Yep, a miter saw with a stop block will do the trick.
Music timing is crucial. Glad you noticed!
Bringing "rubbish wood" back to life is so satisfying.
Handmade bench dogs are a fun little detail.
Scrappy wood has its charm.
Luckily, ticks aren't a big issue here in Denmark.
Chainsaw-mill rigs are awesome. Good luck with the walnut trees!
Glad your mom liked the bench video.
Watching at 1.5 speed is a time-saver. As for CZcams Premium, it's a bit complicated, but creators do get compensated.
Thanks for the detailed feedback, Tim. It's always great to hear from you. And remember, Coffee Solves Everything! Cheers! 🍵
It was fun watching your story unfold, Jesper. Kudos on your success!
Cheers, Eric! Watching it unfold has been just as fun.
I was going to bed early tonight, but you stopped my plans with this video. Great work, Greetings from Norway
Sorry for ruining the early bedtime! 🙃 What would you have been dreaming about instead?
Among the woodworking videos - This is the most funny and cool story-telling author!!! seriously (no way you could stay seriouse more than 10 sec...) I have laugh the whole video like crazy!!! this is brilliand )))) love it )))
Thanks for the laughter! Really glad you enjoyed the humor. Making someone laugh is truly the best compliment!
I'm stoked to find a CZcamsr who isn't American! Onya mate and even better that you friend in CZcams is also an Aussie ;-) Keep going, you are an inspiration.
Thanks, Leonie! Glad you're enjoying the channel!
Superb video, Jesper. Enjoyed watching it and the narration mate 😁👍. Very inspiring
Glad you enjoyed it - thanks for watching mate!
I have been mesmerized for nearly two hours and can hardly wait to see the rest. You are so inspiring! Thanks for sharing all your mistakes as well as solutions. Keep it up!
So thrilled you're enjoying the journey with me! Any projects you're feeling inspired to tackle?
I’m a 68-year-old woman and I have thoroughly enjoyed your video and your journey and if I was younger I might try some of this myself but I train horses still at my age so I’ll stick to what I know
Sticking to what you know sounds like a good choice 🙏
I loved this so very much. A master craftsman and a master video production.
Master craftsman and master video production-now that's a combo! What part did you love the most?
Your ability to make something out of nothing is astounding. I hope you never stop your imagination from leading. I can't think of a single part that I loved the most. I couldn't stop watching. and wondering what you were up to. I loved the little table you put out next to the sea. The blue epoxy one.
Incredible! Great story and great pieces of art ! Awesome
Thanks a ton, Don! Really appreciate you tuning in and enjoying the journey with me. Here's to many more stories and creations! 🛠️✨
Love this guy. Raw, humble & flippin hilarious.
I really want to finish watching this but its already midnight .....i am really motivated and laughed all through this is real entertainment
Stay up or save it for tomorrow, Ricky?
and finally i have finished this has been a movie for thumbs up@@JesperMakes
Being a woman raised around 9 noweigin brothers & male Cousins > this CZcamsr hits the spot. Your humor is exactly how I was raised to communicate! Lol ❤️ > your humble wit is amazing along with your natural talent.
You deserve 100 million subscribers at the least🎉 Best site to relax/smile & be inspired! 🎉
Blessings Nordic Brother & wife.
Thanks so much for the kind words! Humor's the best way to keep the workshop light and fun, right? You're giving me subscriber goals I didn't even know I had! 🎉 What's your favorite project so far?
This is amazing. I love your videos. I really appreciate that you show your mistakes and how you overcome them. Keep making these awesome videos!
Hey, thanks for the love! Showing mistakes is part of the game; that's how we all learn. What's your latest project hiccup? 🤔
Epic video. Watched it in one go. Respect & admiration of your effort, achievements and inspiring resilience. Kudos for the editing as well.
Hey, that's epic of you to watch it all in one go! 🌟 I'm really glad you enjoyed it and appreciated the editing - it's a labor of love. Thanks for sticking with me for over a year; here's to more adventures together! Got any favorite moments from the video?
@@JesperMakes All the moments you face a problem that makes you feel bad but you get back up. 💪
How did I get here? OK. Anyway I couldn't turn it off. I am a 69 yr old grandmother. Not a woodworker. But I love the self effacement, commentary & humor as much as the creativity. I think your mission statement should be:
HINDSIGHT IS 20/20
Great job and keep going! Thumbs up and subbed.
Welcome, and thank you for sticking around! Your comment made my day. "Hindsight is 20/20" is a fantastic suggestion for a mission statement. Thrilled to have you onboard!
Jesper, love how you started out and built your skill levels up as well as your tool collection. I really like how you reuse old timber and mill your own timber from logs rather than buying new. You’re showing the world to repurpose as well as how to think outside the square. Your videos rock! Just subscribed, well deserved!
An amazing collection of projects that all turned out really well. Good job for overcoming all obstacles and also showing us how! One of the best evening filling woodworking videos out there for sure. Impossible not to watch in one sitting... subscribed!
Wow, thanks Dr. James! High praise from you means a lot. What's your next binge-worthy project?
Well done on not only reaching but blasting past 100k subs, you put lots of effort into your projects and the editing for videos is great, glad to hear you have had plenty of sponsorship because you have earned it!
Thanks a ton! Reaching this milestone has been a wild ride, and it's all thanks to the amazing support from viewers like you.
This guy has probably the best sense of humor. I am enjoying this video so much!!!!
Glad you're enjoying the vibes! Life's too short not to have a laugh, right? What had you cracking up the most? ☕😄
@JesperMakes honestly everything. The other videos from other content creators and your mess up reactions. But the best was calling your wife the boss, I wonder if my husband thinks of me as the boss too.
Haha, glad you enjoyed it! If he's smart, he knows who's really in charge, right? 😄 So, what's your next project, boss or not? Cheers! 🍻
Hats off for showing the bobos. We all have them and usually try to hide them. BUT it's part of the process and shows people WHY creativity can be so painful AND time consuming.

Recording it as we speak
You know, I just had a thought. I’ve just discovered your channel. My father probably makes most of your other mates here look like novices. My father is a Master Craftsman Carpenter and one of few left in the world of his caliber. He rebuilt the Red Bridge and The Zig Zag Bridges in the Memphis Botanical Gardens. He worked for DisneyWorld and not only rebuilt the Old Train Station, and a lot of interior work at their world resort. He built many cabins and houses and even put up SkyScrapers in Houston. It’s an art form that is being killed off by the DIY generation, but the point is my father is in Somerville Tennessee and he has a huge workshop, and he even bends his own wood, and my idea is that maybe you could do some videos with my father and learn some techniques from him. Maybe it would be mutually beneficial, and keep the Art alive. His name is Conrad Vincent. Maybe he could learn something from you. He never filmed his work, but maybe he should have. He just built some beautiful nailless windows for a Gentleman in Tennessee. Another quick story. My father used to work with another Master Craftsman named Charlie Mix. That name may or may not sound familiar to you, but his Grandfather was a Silent Movie star named Tom Mix. Tom Mix is mentioned in the movie “Tombstone” as he was the one who they say Wept at Wyatt Earp’s funeral. My father even took care of Charlie once when he was ill. But he passed away a few years ago, and was another artist gone now. Charlie used to brag on my father, and tell him he was the best. My father thought Charlie was one of the best. You can definitely learn some cool stuff from my father. ✌🏻
Wow, your father's resume sounds absolutely legendary. I would be honored to learn from a master like him. A collaboration sounds like a fantastic idea to keep the craft alive and kicking. Conrad Vincent, eh? Good storytelling runs in the family it seems!
I talked to him a little while ago. He seems interested, and wants to do something with his spare time. He became a widower unfortunately earlier this year and then the strangest thing happened. My mother moved in with my father. They divorced in 1973. Head scratcher for sure. But my father is a good man. Anyway He has tables for bending wood and builds most of his own router tables etc, and he thought about learning to build boats. I know the Danish have a tradition of Boat and Ship building, I’m not sure you could do that from palettes but that would be awesome. Anyway he’s interested. I know you’re not in America, so I’m not sure what we can do to make this a reality?
That's an incredible family story and the setup your father has sounds like a craftsman's dream. The bending tables and DIY router tables piqued my interest, and boat building would be an amazing chapter to delve into. The whole Danish boat tradition you mentioned got me thinking, too.
That said, while I'm genuinely honored by the idea, I'm currently fully booked with my own projects and commitments here in Denmark. It's a tough decision, but I'll have to pass on this incredible opportunity for now.
Your father's craftsmanship truly deserves to be showcased. Ever thought about starting a channel for him? Could be a great way to carry on the tradition and wisdom he's got. Coffee solves everything, even the distance between Tennessee and Denmark. ☕ Cheers!
@@JesperMakes I live in Ohio and he’s in Tennessee. Unfortunately. It was a thought anyway.
Thanks for the thought man!
I have been watching this epic on and off since I woke up at 5. Inspired me to go down to the basement and see what I ask my husband to make!
That's so cool 😎
CZcams recommended this video. Thank you for sharing your experience 👍
Cheers for the watch, James! Anything in particular catch your eye?
I'm having a deja Vu moment, I could swear I've seen this already.

You can never have enough of a good thing!
Thanks for following man, yeah this one is is an experiment. Seems to be going pretty well.
@@JesperMakes yeah I heard the same thing. People are doing it because of the rise of TV viewers. I think it’s a cool idea. A greatest hits video!
My friend got robbed in Denmark, it was a group of refugees from a certain community. I'd suggest kindly lock your workshop atleast, now that you've shown this to the internet. Denmark isn't the country as it used to be anymore.
Sorry to hear about your friend's experience. I appreciate the concern-safety is key.

Not a wood worker. Just someone who really enjoys watching the creativity of others. Repurposing! Yes! PLUS you're videos are well edited - excellent work - and entertaining. Appreciate the unconventional, can do approach!! Fun
And COME ON everything is really beautiful.
Thanks 🙏👍
I really enjoyed your video. So much that I am now into my 2nd hour rather than doing my taxes. I love your work, editing and commentary. Much so smooth and easier to listen to others that do a lot of yelling and skipping errors. Keep it up. Thanks for sharing and being you.
Billy, I'm thrilled to hear you've been enjoying the videos enough to postpone taxes! I aim for a calming yet informative tone, so it's great to know it's appreciated. Here's to many more hours (hopefully not at the expense of your taxes)!
