This week's video the one you're watching now will be on YouTube Next week's video will be on Patreon. Okay, foreign. two things: I Read in a book the first comes from: Mr Edison Mr Edison Said opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

Thank you. The second thing I Read in a book America has three principal archetypes, the cowboy The Warrior and the inventor On this week's Patreon only video, a lot of audience people write in and ask me how I deal with perfectionism I Don't think we can get to perfectionism? Perfectionism isn't up to us, but there's this excellent standard and then good enough standard. and I am a good enough artist.

    Someone make the list of tools, plsss

    I would love to hear your thoughts on how you go about deciding whether to repair something vs. replace it? I recently fixed a broken piece of wood that was part of a drawer slide, and was trying to decide whether to fix the broken piece or just fabricate a new piece to replace it, because making a new one wouldn't have taken much longer that repairing. What about things that wear out, like shoes? Is there a point where you see that the useful life is coming to an end, and it would not be worth repairing?

    I didn't get why you had to go through so much trouble to build this thing, but after building our house for now three years, I abso-fucking-lutely get it! Any non-mobile tool sorting solution will tend to be in a place other than where you need it to be, and Comercially available tool boxes just aren't ADHD friendly. You need something like this where all tools are visible at all times, not just organized

    Enrijeci-desu.

    I feel like the tape hanging pole breaks the "No stacking" rule? The types of tape aren't identical and if you want the one at the back you have to take the whole thing off

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rhod Evans says:

    Thanks for these thought provoking videos. I saw another vid where you talk about the evolution of your toolkits for different purposes. I'm trying to do likewise but I have an issue which arises all the time. Some tools are used by more than one kit. In a case like that do you buy duplicate tools? Thanks

    Stanley Kubrick is dead 😅😅😅

    And that's why they go to war… If one , the main archetype was "nurturer" that might be different, but hey , most Americans I don't think wish to go to war as most are nurtures 🙏🤍

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Matthew Lawrence says:

    what where the too books that quotes are from?

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ss says:

    I feel this should be in an art gallery

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Steve P says:

    I have gotten a lot of great ideas from Van but the most underrated one is my reborn love of rivets.

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Montarctica says:

    Your tape roll storage, definitely strayed from your “no stacks” law of organization
