Hay! Denis
I consider you, to be what this site is mainly about. From one woodworker to another, I welcome you to LumberJocks. You have already fit in nicely. I think you have done an excellent job with your video post and your mom has to be very proud of you. I’m really looking forward to your future posts. What are you going to build for the lucky lady?
God bless

-- Gene, a Christian in Virginia

well she wants me to build a sort of hanger thing so we can hang up coats on the wall. its not a huge treasure trove of skills but i figure it will be a good chance to look at milling lumber, laminating boards, and to try out the “foolproof finish” (fine woodworking 196)

Very well done. It’s a good start and will only get better as you do more. Maybe it’s my old ears, but I did have a bit of a problem hearing what you were saying, so having someone else give it an ear would help. Do you work from a script? Keep up the good work.

-- When you give someone a chance it may well be their last.

no i don’t work from a script. my camera doesn’t have the best sound what i do is just turn it up pretty loud and sit about five feet back. it sounds better and the resolution is better. you can see it in full screen if you do that to.

Hi Dennis,
You are a young man of courage, keep it up. I’m sure you’ll go far in woodworking and in life with an attitude like you’ve got. I take my hat off to you.

I enjoyed the video very much, I’ll be looking for more from you.

All the best
Gord

Great podcast, I look forward to the next one.

-- Andy Stark

Hi Dennis,

This was a very polished and informative video. I have videos of my son when he was about your age “producing” a play for a drama class in high school. They were nowhere near as well done as this video. Great work young man. You displayed a great deal of courage and maturity with this video. I am sure that you are doing equally well in school and you should do well not only with woodworking, should you continue to pursue this, but in college as well.

Thanks for sharing this post.

God bless.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Welcome aboard. keep up the good work.

Well done mate, takes some guts to put yourself up for the whole world to see!

1 question… what happens to the name when you get older, “The man woodworker” eh!

very well done; very informative!!
can’t wait for the next in the series.

Wow, what a great job. I look forward to more.

Do I see another Norm here?

Hi Denis:

Super job…...........that’s the way to participate!!!! You are absolutely correct. That’s all the tools you need to get started.

I’m impressed…....don’t loose sight that you have to continually be building inorder to get good at this stuff. You are starting at the right age.

Dig in Denis and keep working it, BUILD – BUILD and BUILD…............Neil

Why does Denis look so much more relaxed and smoother than I did in my first video?? Heck, he looks more relaxed than I did in my latest video. :)

Denis, great job man. What a great idea. Please keep it up.

Get ‘em Dennis, represent that 617 woodworking. Anyway, keep up the good work man and I’ll see you on the bus tomorrow.

Crap Dennis! You got a video in before me (dang), and it’s nice!

I’ve got my eye on you boy!

Great Job Dennis. You have an developed a hobby that will last a lifetime. I’ll pass on to you the one thing my Grandfather told me that means the most to me still today

” Everything you build, be it a house or a table, is a monument to your life. If it is well made, with proper care and forethought, will last longer than your lifetime. It will be a testamony to your life as a craftman, good or bad. People will see you through your work, even if they don’t meet you face to face. So every time you start a new project, do you best.”

You have a great start. If you ever need advice, this is the place to come for help. Thats why we are here.

Stop it, Uncle Todd, you’re scaring me.

Dennis,
Great job on your video. You have a good grasp of your subject matter, and a hobby that will last you a lifetime.
Go get ‘em, partner! I can’t wait till you post your project.

Hi I’am also a teenage woodworker welcome to lumberjocks

-- A. Molloy

What part of the world are u from

-- A. Molloy

the US but thats as general as i can get for securities sake (aka my parents)

I thoroughly enjoyed your video and will be sharing it with a young student of mine. You are on the right track and have already learned to appreciate the statement “buy the best you can afford”. Good luck to you. I look forward to seeing future videos and reading some articles in print about your work someday.

Fantastic job! You do seem very comfortable in front of the camera; much more so than me. I look forward to following your blog and projects.

When did you become interested in woodworking? Who are your biggest influences to date?

-- Jeff, St. Paul, MN

ive always been interested in woodworking because my dad is an electrician and an all around handy man so i was always around tools growing up. my biggest influences have been Norm Abram and Mark Spagnolo.

Fine job TAWW. Oh . . . be sure to post some projects.

Well done, very informative for a beginer like me.

-- Keith, Chester, England

Denis,
I’ve got three daughter’s and I’m happy to see that you do listen to your parents and don’t give out a lot of personal info as it’s really not needed. I do think that you should invite your parents to visit LJ though (if they haven’t already), I’d be extremely proud to see my kids put together what you have done!

keep up the good work and tell your parents they should get you a new iMac so you can continue making great videos!

Denis,

You have a great grasp of the material you cover, and I thoroughly enjoyed your video presentation.
I am building a sideboard, which will have drawers that will need joinery. You are inspiring me to consider tackling dovetails!

Thanks So Much!
