Thank You - From my Small Business to yours. 

Great video. Real honest.👍🏼

glad you are doing well brother. we are going to be starting our build and hopefully we can start working on building our small woodworking business. Thank you for all your advice and support.

thank u !!

Proud of you brother. I hope 2021 is treating you even better.

26 years later, I'm still doing civil engineering/land development, and now welsing/fabricating as a hobby... I'm jealous. Lol. But my man, its almost Valentines day, we need more flower fabrication videos! Lol

hi im from the UK I hear and feel everything you said. I wish you all the best for the new year and some new and great ideas. xx

I'm very impressed that that you have NOT put out videos recently... You have prioritized your workers, your business, the things that matter. Even saying you'll refund Patreons if they want it. Big respect for you. I'll keep subscribed and watch your videos whenever they come. Merry Christmas and cheers to a new year and new adventures.

Here to better days ahead

I hope all is well brother. Been waiting for an update.

Real life small business right there. I had a small carpentry business for a while, I found it really hard to balance growing enough to support a couple of staff, versus staying smaller to support myself. You sound like you're at the same intersection I was at.

Not losing is the new positive business strategy.... Serving is awsome.. Chin up an keep keeping on.

Paying staff before feeding yourself is hard but the we it needs to be, same as when the cash draw is full. Business is business. Looking forward to seeing more video. Cheers Chris

I’m just getting into welding and my wife always wants something “crafty” for something... Anyway, I really appreciate the knowledge and insight in your videos. The humble sincerity in this video speaks volumes about your character, which is your customers and supporters really want/need from your business. Keep up the good work!

Welcome back!

“I can’t do that. The sun is on the wrong side of me.” You are a natural teacher, dude. That is the awareness of your audience that shows you are focused on the audience. Well done!

It's great to hear you've been able to diversify, to find a solid core audience and group of folks and yo find ways to keep afloat. I appreciate the ton of knowledge you share, and your zero-BS approach to life and business. Keep it up in 2021 man

Ready nice to see you have Woke up , I am 71 it took me 50 yrs . IT'S READY COOL THE WAY YOU ARE WITH TOMMY BOY BET YOU ARE GOOD FRIENDS NOW.

Awesome vid.. I'm a welder, fabricator.. know the pain..

Great Message, Hits home for us, experienced many of the same challenges. Good Luck for 2021!

Keep up the good work

Merry Christmas and a Happy new Year to you Richard, Tommy, Wife And pups! 👊🏻😉

Hope here soon to buy more kits. I enjoy working with what I got. Didnt get to buy any this year. Hoping after the 1st of the year I get 2 or 3 different kits to have. It's my stress relief.

Nice video man. I just bought my first welding it yourself kit and I will continue to support you. Keep up the great work! 👍

Great connection video... That said, please do an Egg kit video, or write up a one pager, to show what the heck to do with it.

I'm in the HVAC business and we have been very busy and we have had a good year. I'm not going to complain.

Decrease concentration. Increase diversification. The tough times are yet to stay,that,s what we say o,er here!!!

Nice hair cut ! We have even more in common than I thought 😂 Too bad for the firepits... Our belgian minister said we could spend time together around a firepit... We have never sold that many before ! (Well we still have many left too but we went a bit overboard...) I join you for the "Thank you customers" part ! You are wonderful ! Continue like that Richard... You're a good person and a good inspiration !

I want to honestly thank you. Long story short i lost my job welding in May due to the virus. I have a welder and generator i bought with leftover money from grants i got while taking a welding course in tech school. I tried to make my own firepit to make some side money (cutting, fitting, buying the steel). I fucked it up big time lol, but i bought a kit from you during the black friday sell. It came missing a piece, but i emailed you and you sent me another kit PLUS the missing piece. Now i have 2 firepits, one to sell and one to give to my cousin. If anyone is reading this and considering buying from this guy i will say do it. He will make sure that you get what you paid for. Thanks again!

My business is lawn care and thank God people hate mowing their own lawns let alone stepping outside of their homes. Thank God I got into a recession proof business. And I discovered a little hard work never heard anyone.

Take the fact that you managed to grow at all with the crap this year has brought as a win...take it and run with it! Your hard work and perseverance will pay off.

Congrats.... we got hit harder than you 90% of our customers lost their job's so we have to scale back but we are also here. Limited but we are here too. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2021

I know exactly what you mean about not staying in the line of work you thought you'd be in. I was an engineering professor for 4.5 years after all the academic career leading up to it, and I think leaving that job saved me from going crazy! Now I'm trying to get my own consulting business up and running while working part time at another company, and loving both things. Now all I've got to do is move out of the frozen wasteland that is Minnesota back to where I belong.

Black Friday is off now. T... W

aint that the truth. i had a landscaping business i had to skip mortgage payment a few times to pay people. now my second attempt at a busniess i am doing welding fabrication take what i learned last time and move forward
