Welcome to my backyard builds. Last year I published this video ua-cam.com/video/McK0kbPZNoU/v-deo.html. titled "This video will change how you see wood. I promise." It's almost at 5 million views at this time. A good friend @FixitFingers and his wife suggested to make another compilation with my backyard builds, and here it is. But it's not just a compilation. It's new and old projects completely re-written and edited into one long video.
It also features contributions from @dainermade , @JackmanWorks , @turgworks4138 , @diyforknuckleheads and @BeauMiles . I also mention @Foureyes.Furniture when talking about pallet wood is a scam and @MikeFarrington about the biscuit joiner. Go check them all out.

This is the true story of how I plagarized a danish design icon in my pursuit of becoming a woodworking millionaire fast. It was @dainermade who got me started in the first place, kind of by accident. He appears in the video, and I kind of throws him under the bus, but I promise, it's all for good fun. We're the best of friends, at least the last time i checked. Go check him out at @dainermade ...

    I'm in Oregon. It's sad to see how much less our economy is based on logging. When I was young, every single small town employed a majority of workers, now, because of the greenies, it's a shadow of its former self.

    Hej Jesper. Måske lidt sent at stille spørgsmål til videoen der har en del år på bagen men har først opdaget " Jesper Makes" for nyligt. Kan denne behandling med bivoks+linolie+terpentin bruges til skærebrætter som kommer i kontakt med madvarer? Dine øvrige videoer og projekter er også meget inspirerende.

    If there was an Oscar for UA-cam, you should have won. Your videos are fantastic! Well made, (as if your previous job was in film making) and entertaining. The way you take on huge projects starting with a tree is very motivating. It is pretty cool to sit on my butt and watch you work this hard. Yet, when your project is completed, it feels like I was a part of the process. That is good film making!

    I love your sense of humor! I've seen a lot of channels where the creator can't decide if they are a comedian or a woodworker. You, on the other hand, do a fantastic job of intersecting humor into your storytelling, and still provide great woodworking content. BTW ... I have only mastered one piece of advice that you shared ... "Be dumb". 🤣 Keep up the great work.

    Amazing video! I’ve always wanted to start doing this kind of stuff myself but have never really had the time nor money to begin (I’m a 23 year old chemistry masters student, so a lot of time goes to my studies). I became a member of Stockholm makerspace (which is a kind of a shared and crowdfunded workshop in the middle of the city, perfect for people who want to build stuff but don’t have the space for their own workshop) which has so far been a superb compromise, but that personal workshop is always irresistibly tempting. I love the way you approach your projects with more of a practical (you hating taking measurements and such) and sustainable approach in mind. I’m definitely more of a overthinker, measuring everything twice, preferably designing on the computer and hating every single finished product due to the small imperfections that really are unavoidable 😁 I’d love to learn more, so keep up the great work!
