I hope this stream of logic makes sense, one of the symptoms difficulty voicing plans concepts or logic that makes perfect sense in your head. I'm not sure if I've properly done that here but I am having a lot of trouble finishing and staying organized within my projects and wide scope of my video subjects is reflecting that.
I don't rreally give a rats you know what about what youtube thinks I want to watch. I like your channel. You are a very good finish carpenter and detail it what it takes. As far as your medical issues TMI buddy, I don't judge people like that and don't think anyone else here does. You are who you are. I like your channel. I'm not a carpenter but I like doing my own work no matter what it is. I learn things from your videos. Currently I'm helping a neighbor building a house. His contractor needed help putting up tongue and groove on the ceiling and I'm learning by doing. If I knew you Id be going with you to the cabin to help and learn your craft. Take care. Don't change anything I like you the way you are. So does your wife.
Actually my husband ALSO has ADHD and Executive Dysfunction, and yeah, I can see you also having that. And as someone with Dyslexia, I can understand a learning disability seeming normal to the person that has it. Just like it seems normal to me to rearrange things in my head till they make sense. When you have problems you've lived with all your life, you learn coping skills. And I watch everything you put up. Your tastes seem to be pretty compatible with mine, since even the LEAST interesting things you do are STILL worth watching. I find your shows interesting, informative, and entertaining. Just do you, and take us along for the ride, it'll be fine.
Hey i totally understand handicaps & learning disabilities but Don't be so hard on yourself, you do Beautiful & amazing work and that's all that matters. ❤ Hope to see you soon!
Made perfect sense! You be you! I didn't have the bell thingie on before, because I'd hunt down your videos (haven't missed any). BUT I now turned it on for you! Hope it makes a difference!
i hate that you think the "problem" is you. it absolutely is NOT. it's the horrid CZcams programming that doesn't understand that creative people do jump around and there is nothing wrong with it.
I basically equate your channel to getting a letter from an old friend. We may not get them as often as we would like, but, each letter (upload) is packed with everything that has been going on in your life.
I don’t think you have a learning disability- you are clearly capable of learning. As for jumping from topic to topic, I think it keeps things fresh and interesting and NOT BORING. And if you skip a few weeks, well, life happens! I don’t rely on the algorithm to watch your channel - and I’ve been following you for a few years now. It’s your channel, do it how you want to.
I am classified as having a learning disability because I have ADHD. Like Mike I can focus on specific tasks, however I also have a propensity for jumping from one task to another
@@IceMan0003 - I hear you. I’ve had someone ask me if I was ADHD before because I start projects, stop them, move onto another one, come back to the earlier one. It’s not that I can’t focus, it’s that I need to give something more thought, so while I do that I work on something else to fill my time. I really don’t see it as an issue. Of course, this is for my personal projects, at work (where I get paid) I like to be as efficient as possible, finish the task at hand and move onto the next one. I’m not a fan of labeling everything - no one is perfect, everyone is different. If we were all the same the world would be a very boring place indeed.
Mike, I can't speak for others, but WE watch your channel to VISIT with you. You're the prime driver of our desire to view ANY and ALL of your videos. It really doesn't matter WHAT you're doing so much as HOW you do it. Your explanations, close up examinations of how you're doing it, and your amazing creativity. So if you're building a pond, we watch YOU do it YOUR way. And we LEARN from it. Again, Sharon and I just enjoy visiting you on CZcams and learning something new each time we do. Just be you, and do the things you enjoy doing, no matter what path you choose to follow.
With ALL that you have on your plate building, outside work, etc etc etc when a video appears I watch it for sure. You are gifted and very talented in all that your do. Some of the intricate craftsmanship you have done on your cabin I have never seen before because most of it YOU created it. For instance that last piece of baseboard in the kitchen area that you installed. Man that was really neat!!! LOL Do what you can when you can. Chin up...chest out and keep moving forward!!! Thank you for your VIDEO!!! God is blessing you.
As for me, I don’t have any skills in building a cabin or driving a big machine, but I follow you for several years and I don’t miss a video because I do appreciate the quality and aesthetics of everything you make. Don’t let other people tell you how to behave, you are a talented artist, craftman, or whatever.
Agree- wonder how many of the critics have never even picked up a hammer. Too many love to focus on the bad than the good. It's like a sick hobby for them.
Your creativity and commitment to quality are what keeps me from missing a single video, regardless of what you are working on. Thank you so much for all you do.
Mike your tendency to jump from topic to topic as it all relates to your cabin, is actually what I like about this channel. You built your wood shop because you lost access to the shop you used to build beautiful items for our cabin, the pond is a long term project by its design, the apartment at the shop is part of that. These are the elements that I enjoy. You missi g a week to three, prevents video burnout.
Do what you gotta do Mike. You're fine in my book. Your videos are a better quality and you're quite sincere and genuine in them. You have skills to share. Thanks for that. More likes and comments coming in the future for support. Take care and keep being productive!
Mike, love the diversity of your content. Never miss a video because every aspect is interesting. Keep up the great work, we appreciate your skill and quality videos. The Green and Green treatment to the molding was unique and cool.
Same here! I watch them all. It may take me a few days to get around to them but I look forward to each one. You are so real and genuine, and HUMBLE about your gifts and talents. Don't waste a moment dwelling on any nagging inner insecurities. Just keep doing what you do as long as you're having fun...❤
Life happens as it happens we should be able to go w the flow if you love a channel and the work that it provides you will patiently wait for the next nugget. 💞
Mike, I watch your videos because I learn something new and helpful somewhere in the video that I will use at some point in my work as a homeowner. So, I have no problem with what you present or when you present it. Just keep putting out videos when you can and I will watch. Screw youtube!
I watch and enjoy all your videos Mike. I would love to see you finish the cabin, the pond and whatever other projects you have going. I hope that you continue to upload content. You're an artist. You have a life other than the cabin and the 50 acres. You have a life other than the shop. CZcams wants to commercialize you. But you keep doing you. No one can put you in a box.
“A Cabin and Fifty acres” + “Coffee” is the perfect way to start the day. Lol. From my perspective the subject does not matter. It’s the consistent weekly upload of your videos that makes the difference. I would watch you clean your shop or change a flat tire, no joke. Just keep being you and focus of what you need and do what you love doing.
Mike, I've watched most all of the episodes you've produced and really enjoyed them. The content or continuity of the videos is not my main focus. Your creativity and sense of design are what draws me the most. I especially liked seeing you get your shop together. The pond build really interests me in that I would love to see it how you've imagined it and to see you enjoying it. You have accomplished so much and have much to be proud of. The base molding by the cabinet is not "goofy". It is a detail that is now "eyeworthy". Best to you and Sarah!
Firstly: Man that is some awesome trim work! Looks really beautiful! Secondly: I've followed you for a long long time, and I don't always watch your videos (along with any other on YT I follow) as you release them, but I do get back and around to watch them eventually! I don't care for the flow of the content of the videos, and I think it's only human to want to jump around between projects to keep things fresh! Keep up the awesome videos you make!
Mike, I’ve watched over 90% of your videos. I’ve always learned something from each one. When you make a mistake, you don’t edit out like most do. You show it and fix it, or it’s small enough it doesn’t matter. You are a fantastic craftsman, keep up the great work. I have A.D.D. , maybe that’s why I enjoy all your projects no matter what order you do them!
Mike I love your work and your videos. I subscribed about 2 years ago and have watched every video. I always leave a like and most times a comment. Please don’t get frustrated with making videos because there are so very little wholesome kind and genuine creators these days. Thank you for all the work that goes into making this content for us. ❤
You’re an artist that does beautiful work. All Artist operate on a different, somewhat dysfunctional level. You’re doing fine and turning out beautiful crafts at your own pace. Like you said, CZcams doesn’t pay your bills, so don’t apologize for not fitting your square into their round hole.
I taught students with various learning disabilities in high school for twenty years. Over that time I learned that most students with any kind of function issue “worked twice as hard to get half as far.” You pretty much summarized this in your commentary this week. With that being said, it creates frustration in the worker, or student as you seek to accomplish a task. However, others who do not understand this generally do not value the work or effort that is required to perform the tasks. I am a subscriber and tip my hat to your work, skill and efforts. Keep up the great work.
Beautiful trim! I don't mind it that you jump around among several subjects because I find them all interesting and related to one another. Woodworking, renovation, and new construction should go well together.
I watch them all regardless of the subject matter. When I first discovered your channel, I binge watched until I was caught up. The cabin build is great, the old building restoration is great, and watching your wood working is absolutely amazing.
My one complaint is that there are not enough of your wonderful videos! I love the different projects at the cabin and at the shop. You are doing a good job!
I think I have watched all your videos. I like the variety of topics. It’s real. Anyone who has built a cabin will appreciate that the task is not linear. There are ups and downs - failures and success. Life often interrupts. I was a teacher. We all learn differently - that’s not a disability, that’s just the way humans are made. You have accomplished a great deal and should be proud of your outcomes. Many people would not have the determination and skill to follow through with building a cabin or shop.
I watch your channel because of your talent. My grandson is like you with his train of thoughts. You take one day at a time enjoy your journey and if people don’t like it they can go to the library and check out the how to do whatever they are interested in. You are talented and thankful for you sharing it with us.
Your woodworking skills are so beautiful! The clips you’ve shown in this video are so satisfying to watch. So are all of your other subjects. I don’t choose to see just what you are working on each time a new video comes out. I love all of them. You are doing a great job making videos of the very real content that is your complicated and interesting life. Don’t lose sleep over the algorithm. Just keeping making the same varied content films. ♥️
You do you. You are one of the few channels that I open immediately to see what you re up to next. Looking forward to seeing the finished pond and your wood working is outstanding. Your channel often motivates me with all different ideas on my own vacation property. Regardless of CZcams; I will seek you out.
Hi Wayne I am honored to hear that, got a little bit done on the pond in the dump truck video, but not nearly as much as I had hoped. Glad to hear we provide a bit of motivation too!
Who are the idiots giving you psychological diagnoses? My goodness, you've built a cabin, dug a pond, excavated a driveway, and renovated a building!! You can't stay focused? Excuse me, but you're doing just fine, and it's time to shelve these negative thoughts about being learning disabled. Yours is one of the top 5 CZcams channels that I love to watch. I don't need to know that you'll be posting on a regular schedule. When you're on, I watch, learn, and am inspired by your creativity. I love the "originality" of every video you make. I sincerely hope that you don't give in to the negativity that you're receiving and that you keep on posting videos...whenever it's convenient for you!
You don't have a learning DIS-ability....You have a learning A-bility. You do great work. You motivate with your ability to be so good at so many things. You are a blend of Andrew Camarata, Matt Cremona, Al from Lumnah Acres with a bit of Wild Wonderful mixed in. I've followed you from the beginning and will continue to follow your ventures. Don't let the bums burglarize your joy.
You have done well for yourself in everything you have done. Your wife and family loves you as you are. You keep very busy and the cabin and shop are awesome. So with that said keep being you dude because that’s all that counts.
I just like the progress of whatever you are working on. Your craftsmanship is so authentic. If I miss a video I try to go back and get caught up. So many channels, I don't think it's you, I just think everyone has jumped on the bandwagon to make money seems like. Keep doing what you are doing. Thanks for sharing.
I've watched every one of your videos since you started or I found your channel on YT. And have been a subscriber ever since, Mike. Some channels just take a little longer to 'grow' on people. And since COVID has subsided, more people are getting back out in the world, which is a good thing. Just be patient and do YOUR thing. That's the real reason folks watch your channel. Don't get demoralized by statistical analytics. A good product sells itself!
Keep the variety coming! The common thread is you and your skill and commitment, and you seem to be a really nice chap, and that's why I'm subscribed. I've unsubscribed from plenty of others!
You Mirror many of us in the world we live in, I see it exciting that we can do much with little. Our brains works in different ways and that’s ok. Live life without having to apologize to anyone. Your honest and give us great content and inspire others. We then can do projects our way. Just go forward with what we do as we tag along happily.
I love all your projects and can't get enough of them! It's as close to real life as one can find on CZcams. I feel sorry for those who continue to do the same thing week after week. Sure, it fits the algorithm but we are people with many interests, not a machine with ones and twos.
We enjoy all of your videos! You do an excellent job with them and all of your content is of interest to us. We do miss seeing Beatrice and the Bank of Sarah.
In my 40's I was told I had an attention problem (ADD at that time) along with being OCD, and I never thought I had a problem...so you make perfect sense to me. Anytime your videos come out, I watch them and enjoy whatever you are doing. Stay safe, be careful, take it easy and keep warm and dry.
We enjoy your channel and look forward to your videos. Our son is an artist and it takes him time to complete his projects. He starts new projects before completing old but the artistic concepts he generates are fantastic. Don't get discouraged be yourself.
Congratulations on totally overcoming and mastering the challenges you've had. It seems like dealing with them has given you strength in areas that are beneficial, your woodworking craftsmanship, for example. I agree your videos are as good as anyone's, better than most. Looking back on them all, from road building to tile work, electrical instruction to dead rodent removal they're all top quality. I hope you keep creating youtube videos, a lot of people enjoy them and look forward to each new video. Hopefully the system will be fine tuned someday and direct more people your way.
I’ve been watching your channel for a few years now, I enjoy your channel. You have no reason to apologize for any thing you do on YOUR channel. If people don’t like what you’re doing, that’s their problem not yours. All you have to do is keep on keeping on at your pace. Stay safe and don’t let anyone get to you.
Mike I have been watching your channel for a long time, your a busy guy with a weekend project,you do things that make sense to you, in your unique way, and I watch, and enjoy,it's like dropping in on a friend and enjoying the company. Thank you for sharing your projects, their fun to watch
Personally, I absolutely love your channel and the content you produce. At the end of the day, your health and that of your family is what takes priority. God bless you!
This is my favorite youtube channel, I wake up on weekends hoping to see a new upload. I like your laid back personality and your normal cadence when speaking. I appreciate that you don't use annoying timelapse footage. The cabin is amazing, your quality of work is top notch.
You shouldn't care about what so-called experts say about you. We all have different gifts and talents. You certainly have very many and you are enjoyable to watch. Don't let CZcams mold you into something you're not. Your unpretentious, genuine manner appeals to the same kind of people and that's a good audience to have. The cabin looks great, and I am looking forward to the pond work and other landscaping you will do in the future. Thanks, Mike.
One of the things I love about your channel IS the variety, ALL of it! Always left wondering what you'll be doing next and whether Sarah will or won't be in the next video. Keep doing you, it's fun to watch.
I love the walnut trim. It really pops with the light stained wood walls. Concerning your jumping from projects to projects, my wife can attest that I do the same thing except I don't have the attention to detail you have. I'm envious.
Hey Mike. Your story is my Story. I remember vividly hearing "you need to focus", "you have a problem with commitment", "why don't you finish anything", and ultimately "You'll never amount to anything". Half my life I lived under other peoples OPINIONS. Just consider......You have a wonderful Wife, You have property and have constructed a Dream Cabin people would die for not to mention your Insane Killer Creative skills and a Beautiful old building you are transforming!!!! I would bet that you ooze kindness, live a life helping others and see a bigger picture that many will never see. I get the downsides of living with challenges. Our personality types are creative, out of the box thinkers with a depth of compassion that many will never know. Just go with knowing we are "MANY". 81,000 Subscribers think you are awesome. Cheers my Friend. BTW, I go find your videos if I don't see one pop up.....Yeah, they are that good!
There is just a lot happening in the world at the moment brother, don't take it to heart, just do the things you enjoy doing, for those who appreciate your work and the satisfaction of helping someone out by sharing your accrued knowledge. We all don't have to agree on everything or be right all the time.
Hi from Australia Mike. I'm a 73yo grannie and I watch and like all your videos. I admire your woodworking skills. I usually search out your channel to see if you've posted a new video, as I do with most of the channels I watch. Keep being you. PS love your solution for the little door hitting the skirting board.
Let me say Mike, I watch all your vlogs and I enjoy all your content, never boring to me and I have been watching you from day one, just keep on doing what you're doing I love it, im a Kiwi living in China and you put a smile on my face, that's all that matters 🙏🙏🙏
Your expertise at all these tasks is what keeps people watching your videos. If this wasn't true you wouldn't have 82K subscribers. Always informative, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
PLEASE Know - everytime I get a new vid alert - I see it. It makes NO difference what the subject is and makes no difference how it falls in line. I do not care about what issues you seems to be having - what's imprtant is that you are aware and make an effort to deal with it - that is progress and learning. I enjoy seeing the good quality work that you do - ALWAYS looks nice and well done. This is YOUR channel - do it like you can and want. I will always visit - you are nice, decent and it feels like visiting a good friend when I catch a vid. To me that is what matters You and vids bring enjoyment to an old man at 73Y.
I think the reason I enjoy l your channel is because you function like most adults. We rarely have time (or inclination) start a project and only work on that one project until it is finished. I think i have 7 different projects in my shop that are in various stages of completion. You keep doing you. BTW, your measurement skills are top notch 😂
Don't sweat it man. I'm 65 and I don't think I have ever been able to do things by ordered steps but I got by. Your woodworking skills are exemplary. I would like to be just half as good as you are. Do what is you. Don't try to please everybody. I have been subscribed for a couple of years and I see nothing wrong with your videos.
Good morning Mike, we appreciate you putting in the effort in all you do. you're a detailed oriented person and that said your content reflects that. Keep doing what you do, like you said this is not your full-time job a lot of CZcams is just that there full-time job.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I appreciate all your projects. I never ever thought anything about it, never. You obvious have learned a lot as you are very good in all facets of construction and woodworking. Your electrical expertise in my opinion is amazing.
I love the variety of content and formats here, and I wish more channels would do that too, instead of just sticking to their usual format. Keep doing what you're doing!
As one You Tuber said, “You do you Bo”! What ever makes it work for you. I have three projects going all the time, sometimes due to lack of material or just wanting to do something different. Those who like watching you don’t mind.
I certainly enjoy and appreciate that you share with us the work you complete, it’s always honest. Just share with us what you enjoy doing, doesn’t matter if it’s the cabin or the new shop. 😊
@A Cabin and 50 Acres 👍 The wall looks....wait......butterfly......ummmm ......what was...... oh yeah....the wall.....it looks great! Welcome to the club!
thank you for being you. I loved your cabinet door step up and will copy it when we remodel. You and Mr. Chickadee are my favorite woodworkers and look foreward to ALL of your videos
I always look forward to your new videos regardless of what they’re on. You are so humble and self deprecating yet ultimately you create quality and thoughtful work in all areas. Best of luck appeasing the gods of CZcams!
As a person with ADHD, I find your variety of topics to be quite compelling. And, I can see that YT is going to have trouble finding your niche. Keep up the good work. Most of us will keep coming back.
I love watching all your videos. I don't care what you are doing, I love it all. Also, you are a great craftsman. Keep doing videos, I will keep watching.
The quality of your work is something to be truly admired! I think your problem is a lack of consistency in posting videos. You need to post a min of one video every week on a set day. Your not feed us enough and we want more because your AWESOME!!!!!!
Mike, I’ve told you this before, your channel is my favorite. I look forward to the notifications that you uploaded a new video. Your cabin videos will be a great reference tool for when I begin my build (I recently purchased 10 acres near Lake Ontario). You dont need to change a thing. Videos are great. Keep up the great work.
I like your channel the way it is. In real life, we all have to work on many different things. Google should not define your life. Just keep being you. Thanks for sharing.
Retired Electrician here. 35 years in the trade. I've lived my life in construction projects. It's a bummer that you have to stress out over youtube BS. I've been following you since you started the cabin, and I have enjoyed every facet of your progress, from road grading, pond work, workshop build and your superb finish craftsmanship and design. Keep on with what you do. I'll be here.
I really enjoy your videos. Ive been watching you more about two years. I dont care what you're doing, just the way you do it is very interesting and even educational, plus you have a great personality. I know you put a lot of work into it and it sucks CZcams doesnt help creator like you.
If you're into CZcams for the money, than where CZcams puts you in the exposure category will matter to a greater extent. However, if you're making content because you think others will enjoy it, maybe learn something, and because you like sharing your life with others, than it shouldn't mater what CZcams does. I am reminded of the quote... "if you build it, they will come". If folks like your content, they will find you !
I hope this stream of logic makes sense, one of the symptoms difficulty voicing plans concepts or logic that makes perfect sense in your head. I'm not sure if I've properly done that here but I am having a lot of trouble finishing and staying organized within my projects and wide scope of my video subjects is reflecting that.
I don't rreally give a rats you know what about what youtube thinks I want to watch. I like your channel. You are a very good finish carpenter and detail it what it takes. As far as your medical issues TMI buddy, I don't judge people like that and don't think anyone else here does. You are who you are. I like your channel. I'm not a carpenter but I like doing my own work no matter what it is. I learn things from your videos. Currently I'm helping a neighbor building a house. His contractor needed help putting up tongue and groove on the ceiling and I'm learning by doing. If I knew you Id be going with you to the cabin to help and learn your craft. Take care. Don't change anything I like you the way you are. So does your wife.
Actually my husband ALSO has ADHD and Executive Dysfunction, and yeah, I can see you also having that. And as someone with Dyslexia, I can understand a learning disability seeming normal to the person that has it. Just like it seems normal to me to rearrange things in my head till they make sense. When you have problems you've lived with all your life, you learn coping skills.
And I watch everything you put up. Your tastes seem to be pretty compatible with mine, since even the LEAST interesting things you do are STILL worth watching. I find your shows interesting, informative, and entertaining. Just do you, and take us along for the ride, it'll be fine.
Hey i totally understand handicaps & learning disabilities but Don't be so hard on yourself, you do Beautiful & amazing work and that's all that matters. ❤ Hope to see you soon!
Made perfect sense! You be you! I didn't have the bell thingie on before, because I'd hunt down your videos (haven't missed any). BUT I now turned it on for you! Hope it makes a difference!
i hate that you think the "problem" is you. it absolutely is NOT. it's the horrid CZcams programming that doesn't understand that creative people do jump around and there is nothing wrong with it.
I basically equate your channel to getting a letter from an old friend. We may not get them as often as we would like, but, each letter (upload) is packed with everything that has been going on in your life.
Aww thank you that's a really nice way to think of it.
Mike, I love ALL your content. You do an excellent job! Please do not feel discouraged.
Thanks man
@@50Acres , I just subscribed to your channel. Keep persevering! Life is hard, even under the best of circumstances.😫❤️🙏🏻
DITTO THAT!!!

Thanks Brian! I don't really buy it either, not entirely. Glad you don't leave it up to YT.
I am classified as having a learning disability because I have ADHD. Like Mike I can focus on specific tasks, however I also have a propensity for jumping from one task to another

Exactly, if YT doesn't like it then just move over to Rumble. Love the show keep up the great work.
BOOM.
Mike, I can't speak for others, but WE watch your channel to VISIT with you. You're the prime driver of our desire to view ANY and ALL of your videos. It really doesn't matter WHAT you're doing so much as HOW you do it. Your explanations, close up examinations of how you're doing it, and your amazing creativity. So if you're building a pond, we watch YOU do it YOUR way. And we LEARN from it. Again, Sharon and I just enjoy visiting you on CZcams and learning something new each time we do. Just be you, and do the things you enjoy doing, no matter what path you choose to follow.
With ALL that you have on your plate building, outside work, etc etc etc when a video appears I watch it for sure. You are gifted and very talented in all that your do. Some of the intricate craftsmanship you have done on your cabin I have never seen before because most of it YOU created it.

Thank you for your VIDEO!!! God is blessing you.
As for me, I don’t have any skills in building a cabin or driving a big machine, but I follow you for several years and I don’t miss a video because I do appreciate the quality and aesthetics of everything you make. Don’t let other people tell you how to behave, you are a talented artist, craftman, or whatever.
Thanks Vero, glad you enjoyed. I won’t let anyone tell me how to do things (except Sarah)
Agree- wonder how many of the critics have never even picked up a hammer. Too many love to focus on the bad than the good. It's like a sick hobby for them.
Your creativity and commitment to quality are what keeps me from missing a single video, regardless of what you are working on.
Thank you so much for all you do.
Thanks RC, my pleasure.
Well you’ve got 82 thousand subscribers so you must be doing something right. I enjoy all your content. Keep on going, Mike.
Thanks Greg, I need to remind myself of that. I'm always focused on the next. Need to appreciate the accomplishments.
Mike your tendency to jump from topic to topic as it all relates to your cabin, is actually what I like about this channel. You built your wood shop because you lost access to the shop you used to build beautiful items for our cabin, the pond is a long term project by its design, the apartment at the shop is part of that. These are the elements that I enjoy. You missi g a week to three, prevents video burnout.
Do what you gotta do Mike. You're fine in my book. Your videos are a better quality and you're quite sincere and genuine in them. You have skills to share. Thanks for that. More likes and comments coming in the future for support. Take care and keep being productive!
Hey Brian, thank you!
I agree I’ll try and comment more as well
I know. Remember the Bob Villa videos. Sorry, but to me were so staged and boring. Mike is himself. I believe what you see is the real guy.
Mike, love the diversity of your content. Never miss a video because every aspect is interesting. Keep up the great work, we appreciate your skill and quality videos. The Green and Green treatment to the molding was unique and cool.
Thank you so much Carl. I will keep it up.
Same here! I watch them all. It may take me a few days to get around to them but I look forward to each one. You are so real and genuine, and HUMBLE about your gifts and talents. Don't waste a moment dwelling on any nagging inner insecurities. Just keep doing what you do as long as you're having fun...❤
Life happens as it happens we should be able to go w the flow if you love a channel and the work that it provides you will patiently wait for the next nugget. 💞
Mike, I watch your videos because I learn something new and helpful somewhere in the video that I will use at some point in my work as a homeowner. So, I have no problem with what you present or when you present it. Just keep putting out videos when you can and I will watch. Screw youtube!
I watch and enjoy all your videos Mike. I would love to see you finish the cabin, the pond and whatever other projects you have going. I hope that you continue to upload content. You're an artist. You have a life other than the cabin and the 50 acres. You have a life other than the shop. CZcams wants to commercialize you. But you keep doing you. No one can put you in a box.
Thanks Deborah, very kind of you. I appreciate it.
Well said!
“A Cabin and Fifty acres” + “Coffee” is the perfect way to start the day. Lol. From my perspective the subject does not matter. It’s the consistent weekly upload of your videos that makes the difference. I would watch you clean your shop or change a flat tire, no joke. Just keep being you and focus of what you need and do what you love doing.
Hey Kimn glad to hear that, I will do my best to keep you all updated.
Mike, I've watched most all of the episodes you've produced and really enjoyed them. The content or continuity of the videos is not my main focus. Your creativity and sense of design are what draws me the most. I especially liked seeing you get your shop together. The pond build really interests me in that I would love to see it how you've imagined it and to see you enjoying it. You have accomplished so much and have much to be proud of. The base molding by the cabinet is not "goofy". It is a detail that is now "eyeworthy". Best to you and Sarah!
Firstly:
Man that is some awesome trim work! Looks really beautiful!
Secondly:
I've followed you for a long long time, and I don't always watch your videos (along with any other on YT I follow) as you release them, but I do get back and around to watch them eventually! I don't care for the flow of the content of the videos, and I think it's only human to want to jump around between projects to keep things fresh! Keep up the awesome videos you make!
Your craftsmanship is always worth checking in to see what you are creating.
Mike, I’ve watched over 90% of your videos. I’ve always learned something from each one. When you make a mistake, you don’t edit out like most do. You show it and fix it, or it’s small enough it doesn’t matter. You are a fantastic craftsman, keep up the great work. I have A.D.D. , maybe that’s why I enjoy all your projects no matter what order you do them!
Mike I love your work and your videos. I subscribed about 2 years ago and have watched every video. I always leave a like and most times a comment. Please don’t get frustrated with making videos because there are so very little wholesome kind and genuine creators these days. Thank you for all the work that goes into making this content for us. ❤
Thanks Rob I appreciate that.
You’re an artist that does beautiful work. All Artist operate on a different, somewhat dysfunctional level. You’re doing fine and turning out beautiful crafts at your own pace.
Like you said, CZcams doesn’t pay your bills, so don’t apologize for not fitting your square into their round hole.
I taught students with various learning disabilities in high school for twenty years. Over that time I learned that most students with any kind of function issue “worked twice as hard to get half as far.” You pretty much summarized this in your commentary this week. With that being said, it creates frustration in the worker, or student as you seek to accomplish a task. However, others who do not understand this generally do not value the work or effort that is required to perform the tasks. I am a subscriber and tip my hat to your work, skill and efforts. Keep up the great work.
Beautiful trim! I don't mind it that you jump around among several subjects because I find them all interesting and related to one another. Woodworking, renovation, and new construction should go well together.
I watch them all regardless of the subject matter. When I first discovered your channel, I binge watched until I was caught up. The cabin build is great, the old building restoration is great, and watching your wood working is absolutely amazing.
My one complaint is that there are not enough of your wonderful videos! I love the different projects at the cabin and at the shop. You are doing a good job!
Mike, I like the door. Cabin is looking very nice. The shop property is coming along nicely as well. You work your way and you do it well.
Thanks Jack! Will do.
I think I have watched all your videos. I like the variety of topics. It’s real. Anyone who has built a cabin will appreciate that the task is not linear. There are ups and downs - failures and success. Life often interrupts. I was a teacher. We all learn differently - that’s not a disability, that’s just the way humans are made. You have accomplished a great deal and should be proud of your outcomes. Many people would not have the determination and skill to follow through with building a cabin or shop.
The trim work looks beautiful, always enjoy your craftsmanship :)
I watch your channel because of your talent. My grandson is like you with his train of thoughts. You take one day at a time enjoy your journey and if people don’t like it they can go to the library and check out the how to do whatever they are interested in. You are talented and thankful for you sharing it with us.
Thank you and its my pleasure!
Mike, it doesn't matter what you do on your channel, I like everything that you do because you are not boring, you're creative. Keep up the good work.
Your woodworking skills are so beautiful! The clips you’ve shown in this video are so satisfying to watch. So are all of your other subjects. I don’t choose to see just what you are working on each time a new video comes out. I love all of them. You are doing a great job making videos of the very real content that is your complicated and interesting life. Don’t lose sleep over the algorithm. Just keeping making the same varied content films. ♥️
You do you. You are one of the few channels that I open immediately to see what you re up to next. Looking forward to seeing the finished pond and your wood working is outstanding. Your channel often motivates me with all different ideas on my own vacation property. Regardless of CZcams; I will seek you out.
Hi Wayne I am honored to hear that, got a little bit done on the pond in the dump truck video, but not nearly as much as I had hoped. Glad to hear we provide a bit of motivation too!
Love the channel Mike. Keep doing what you are doing and everything will fall into place! Cheers!!
Thank you will do.
Who are the idiots giving you psychological diagnoses? My goodness, you've built a cabin, dug a pond, excavated a driveway, and renovated a building!! You can't stay focused? Excuse me, but you're doing just fine, and it's time to shelve these negative thoughts about being learning disabled.
Yours is one of the top 5 CZcams channels that I love to watch. I don't need to know that you'll be posting on a regular schedule. When you're on, I watch, learn, and am inspired by your creativity. I love the "originality" of every video you make.
I sincerely hope that you don't give in to the negativity that you're receiving and that you keep on posting videos...whenever it's convenient for you!
CZcams is not life. I greatly enjoy the variety you offer. Wish I had a tenth of your woodworking skills. Long term follower.
I love all your videos. Like you mention, I love the jumping nature of your videos, your art and craftsmanship, the way you solve problems, etc.
The hubby and I LUV all your videos Mike and we always watch them as soon as they’re posted. Some of the best content on CZcams! Love ya!
We enjoy all the videos. Have a great week!❤ (Kansas 59/64)
Thank you Mark
You don't have a learning DIS-ability....You have a learning A-bility. You do great work. You motivate with your ability to be so good at so many things. You are a blend of Andrew Camarata, Matt Cremona, Al from Lumnah Acres with a bit of Wild Wonderful mixed in. I've followed you from the beginning and will continue to follow your ventures. Don't let the bums burglarize your joy.
You have done well for yourself in everything you have done. Your wife and family loves you as you are. You keep very busy and the cabin and shop are awesome. So with that said keep being you dude because that’s all that counts.
I just like the progress of whatever you are working on. Your craftsmanship is so authentic. If I miss a video I try to go back and get caught up. So many channels, I don't think it's you, I just think everyone has jumped on the bandwagon to make money seems like. Keep doing what you are doing. Thanks for sharing.
You have SO many talents and we love them all. Don’t change anything about what you do. ❤
Mike, Stay free yourself, it's the most important ! congrat for all your efforts
Thanks man!
I've watched every one of your videos since you started or I found your channel on YT. And have been a subscriber ever since, Mike. Some channels just take a little longer to 'grow' on people. And since COVID has subsided, more people are getting back out in the world, which is a good thing. Just be patient and do YOUR thing. That's the real reason folks watch your channel. Don't get demoralized by statistical analytics. A good product sells itself!
Thank you yea that's a good point. Probably also a lot less people on the platform due to the ascent of tic toc. Yea will do, don't worry.
That piece of floor trim by the cabinet looks awesome!
Keep the variety coming! The common thread is you and your skill and commitment, and you seem to be a really nice chap, and that's why I'm subscribed. I've unsubscribed from plenty of others!
Mike, Keep being you. I honestly enjoy all of your content. From the cabin to the workshop and all the in-between.
You Mirror many of us in the world we live in, I see it exciting that we can do much with little. Our brains works in different ways and that’s ok. Live life without having to apologize to anyone. Your honest and give us great content and inspire others. We then can do projects our way. Just go forward with what we do as we tag along happily.
I love all your projects and can't get enough of them! It's as close to real life as one can find on CZcams. I feel sorry for those who continue to do the same thing week after week. Sure, it fits the algorithm but we are people with many interests, not a machine with ones and twos.
You are comfortable with your work, which is why we watch!
We enjoy all of your videos! You do an excellent job with them and all of your content is of interest to us. We do miss seeing Beatrice and the Bank of Sarah.
What you’re doing in terms of content is perfect for me. I like off-grid stuff, carpentry, and all of it. Keep doing what you’re doing.
In my 40's I was told I had an attention problem (ADD at that time) along with being OCD, and I never thought I had a problem...so you make perfect sense to me. Anytime your videos come out, I watch them and enjoy whatever you are doing. Stay safe, be careful, take it easy and keep warm and dry.
We enjoy your channel and look forward to your videos. Our son is an artist and it takes him time to complete his projects. He starts new projects before completing old but the artistic concepts he generates are fantastic. Don't get discouraged be yourself.
Congratulations on totally overcoming and mastering the challenges you've had. It seems like dealing with them has given you strength in areas that are beneficial, your woodworking craftsmanship, for example.
I agree your videos are as good as anyone's, better than most. Looking back on them all, from road building to tile work, electrical instruction to dead rodent removal they're all top quality. I hope you keep creating youtube videos, a lot of people enjoy them and look forward to each new video. Hopefully the system will be fine tuned someday and direct more people your way.
I’ve been watching your channel for a few years now, I enjoy your channel. You have no reason to apologize for any thing you do on YOUR channel. If people don’t like what you’re doing, that’s their problem not yours. All you have to do is keep on keeping on at your pace. Stay safe and don’t let anyone get to you.
Mike I have been watching your channel for a long time, your a busy guy with a weekend project,you do things that make sense to you, in your unique way, and I watch, and enjoy,it's like dropping in on a friend and enjoying the company. Thank you for sharing your projects, their fun to watch
The variety in videos you offer is a strength of your channel Mike in my opinion. Always something interesting
Personally, I absolutely love your channel and the content you produce. At the end of the day, your health and that of your family is what takes priority. God bless you!
This is my favorite youtube channel, I wake up on weekends hoping to see a new upload.
I like your laid back personality and your normal cadence when speaking.
I appreciate that you don't use annoying timelapse footage.
The cabin is amazing, your quality of work is top notch.
You shouldn't care about what so-called experts say about you. We all have different gifts and talents. You certainly have very many and you are enjoyable to watch. Don't let CZcams mold you into something you're not. Your unpretentious, genuine manner appeals to the same kind of people and that's a good audience to have. The cabin looks great, and I am looking forward to the pond work and other landscaping you will do in the future. Thanks, Mike.
I love all your videos. The way you jump around is just the order that you have to do them.
One of the things I love about your channel IS the variety, ALL of it! Always left wondering what you'll be doing next and whether Sarah will or won't be in the next video. Keep doing you, it's fun to watch.
I love the walnut trim. It really pops with the light stained wood walls. Concerning your jumping from projects to projects, my wife can attest that I do the same thing except I don't have the attention to detail you have. I'm envious.
I ENJOY EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR ENDEAVORS.
Thank you Jesse.
Love the look of the woodwork, there's nothing better than multi-colored wood. Your cabin is very, very nice. Take Care Brother
Hey Mike. Your story is my Story. I remember vividly hearing "you need to focus", "you have a problem with commitment", "why don't you finish anything", and ultimately "You'll never amount to anything". Half my life I lived under other peoples OPINIONS. Just consider......You have a wonderful Wife, You have property and have constructed a Dream Cabin people would die for not to mention your Insane Killer Creative skills and a Beautiful old building you are transforming!!!! I would bet that you ooze kindness, live a life helping others and see a bigger picture that many will never see. I get the downsides of living with challenges. Our personality types are creative, out of the box thinkers with a depth of compassion that many will never know. Just go with knowing we are "MANY". 81,000 Subscribers think you are awesome. Cheers my Friend. BTW, I go find your videos if I don't see one pop up.....Yeah, they are that good!
There is just a lot happening in the world at the moment brother, don't take it to heart, just do the things you enjoy doing, for those who appreciate your work and the satisfaction of helping someone out by sharing your accrued knowledge. We all don't have to agree on everything or be right all the time.
Hi from Australia Mike. I'm a 73yo grannie and I watch and like all your videos. I admire your woodworking skills. I usually search out your channel to see if you've posted a new video, as I do with most of the channels I watch.
Keep being you.
PS love your solution for the little door hitting the skirting board.
Let me say Mike, I watch all your vlogs and I enjoy all your content, never boring to me and I have been watching you from day one, just keep on doing what you're doing I love it, im a Kiwi living in China and you put a smile on my face, that's all that matters 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you man I am glad to hear that!
I like that you do different types of projects. I have varied interests and don't want to see the same thing over and over.
Your expertise at all these tasks is what keeps people watching your videos. If this wasn't true you wouldn't have 82K subscribers. Always informative, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
PLEASE Know - everytime I get a new vid alert - I see it. It makes NO difference what the subject is and makes no difference how it falls in line. I do not care about what issues you seems to be having - what's imprtant is that you are aware and make an effort to deal with it - that is progress and learning. I enjoy seeing the good quality work that you do - ALWAYS looks nice and well done. This is YOUR channel - do it like you can and want. I will always visit - you are nice, decent and it feels like visiting a good friend when I catch a vid. To me that is what matters You and vids bring enjoyment to an old man at 73Y.
I think the reason I enjoy l your channel is because you function like most adults. We rarely have time (or inclination) start a project and only work on that one project until it is finished. I think i have 7 different projects in my shop that are in various stages of completion. You keep doing you. BTW, your measurement skills are top notch 😂
Don't sweat it man. I'm 65 and I don't think I have ever been able to do things by ordered steps but I got by. Your woodworking skills are exemplary. I would like to be just half as good as you are. Do what is you. Don't try to please everybody. I have been subscribed for a couple of years and I see nothing wrong with your videos.
I don't care what you record, Mike. I'll watch them all. I always enjoy them!
I click on everyone of your videos. I enjoy the variety. Don't change your style,you be you. 👍🏻
I personally enjoy all of the content no matter the subject and look forward to seeing the notification of a new video.
Good morning Mike, we appreciate you putting in the effort in all you do. you're a detailed oriented person and that said your content reflects that. Keep doing what you do, like you said this is not your full-time job a lot of CZcams is just that there full-time job.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I appreciate all your projects. I never ever thought anything about it, never. You obvious have learned a lot as you are very good in all facets of construction and woodworking. Your electrical expertise in my opinion is amazing.
I love the variety of content and formats here, and I wish more channels would do that too, instead of just sticking to their usual format. Keep doing what you're doing!
As one You Tuber said, “You do you Bo”! What ever makes it work for you. I have three projects going all the time, sometimes due to lack of material or just wanting to do something different. Those who like watching you don’t mind.
Good advice, I like it!
I certainly enjoy and appreciate that you share with us the work you complete, it’s always honest.
Just share with us what you enjoy doing, doesn’t matter if it’s the cabin or the new shop. 😊
Thank you, I will
@A Cabin and 50 Acres 👍 The wall looks....wait......butterfly......ummmm ......what was...... oh yeah....the wall.....it looks great!
Welcome to the club!
Keep doin' what you're doin'. Who cares what others think. Be yourself, which you are. Kings to you man!
thank you for being you. I loved your cabinet door step up and will copy it when we remodel. You and Mr. Chickadee are my favorite woodworkers and look foreward to ALL of your videos
Wow, thank you, I appreciate that.
I really enjoy ALL your content. The diversity makes it more interesting, less boring! Keep it coming, thanks!
I always look forward to your new videos regardless of what they’re on. You are so humble and self deprecating yet ultimately you create quality and thoughtful work in all areas. Best of luck appeasing the gods of CZcams!
As a person with ADHD, I find your variety of topics to be quite compelling. And, I can see that YT is going to have trouble finding your niche. Keep up the good work. Most of us will keep coming back.
I have watched all videos from the beginning. You have no problem.
I love watching all your videos. I don't care what you are doing, I love it all. Also, you are a great craftsman. Keep doing videos, I will keep watching.
The quality of your work is something to be truly admired! I think your problem is a lack of consistency in posting videos. You need to post a min of one video every week on a set day. Your not feed us enough and we want more because your AWESOME!!!!!!
Mike, I’ve told you this before, your channel is my favorite. I look forward to the notifications that you uploaded a new video. Your cabin videos will be a great reference tool for when I begin my build (I recently purchased 10 acres near Lake Ontario). You dont need to change a thing. Videos are great. Keep up the great work.
I like your channel the way it is. In real life, we all have to work on many different things. Google should not define your life. Just keep being you. Thanks for sharing.
Retired Electrician here. 35 years in the trade. I've lived my life in construction projects. It's a bummer that you have to stress out over youtube BS. I've been following you since you started the cabin, and I have enjoyed every facet of your progress, from road grading, pond work, workshop build and your superb finish craftsmanship and design. Keep on with what you do. I'll be here.
May I say that the siding-videos have a sweet calming feel with steady progress that are really rewarding to watch?
I really enjoy your videos. Ive been watching you more about two years. I dont care what you're doing, just the way you do it is very interesting and even educational, plus you have a great personality. I know you put a lot of work into it and it sucks CZcams doesnt help creator like you.
If you're into CZcams for the money, than where CZcams puts you in the exposure category will matter to a greater extent. However, if you're making content because you think others will enjoy it, maybe learn something, and because you like sharing your life with others, than it shouldn't mater what CZcams does. I am reminded of the quote... "if you build it, they will come". If folks like your content, they will find you !
I'm definitely in it for the latter!
You are just fine! I love watching your videos because you are real! And a beautiful woodworker- 😊
