Welcome to my backyard builds. Last year I published this video https://youtu.be/McK0kbPZNoU. 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.
