In this video I showcase the essential tools I used to create a special music box for my son. In this twist on a 'tool recommendation' video, I'll walk you through each tool's role in bringing this project to life. Whether you're a seasoned DIY enthusiast or just starting out, these practical tools are a must-have for your toolkit. Share your thoughts on these tools and let me know what projects you'd like to see in the future. Your feedback is truly invaluable as I continue to try and get better at this whole YouTube thing. Thank you for watching!

For anyone reading this far, you are awesome. You're not just a viewer; you're a true supporter of the channel, and I can't thank you enough. As 2023 comes to a close, I reflect on my goal of creating 23 videos in 2023 – a goal I thought was achievable.. MAN! Did the year say "Hold my beer." I ended up publishing just 5 videos. Far from obtaining my goal. BUT! My channel subscriber count DOUBLED despite that fact! I only have people like YOU to thank for that. I have received an undeserving amount of support from this community. A special thanks to this list of people in particular:
-Mark ‪@startmaking1‬
-Lee ‪@BustedKnuckleWoodworks‬
-Pierre ‪@TheSwedishMaker‬
-Steve ‪@SteveBellCreates‬
-Jon ‪@Lincolnstww‬
-Zac ‪@ZacBuilds‬
-Eric ‪@SpencleyDesignCo‬
-Drew ‪@wittworks‬
and SO many others. Another HUGE thank you to my wife. She continues to support this wild dream of becoming a "YouTuber". The amount of sacrifice that goes into creating these videos can be a tough bit to handle at times. I take away time from her. I take away time from my son. I take away time from my friends but in the end it's worth it because I am chasing a dream. A dream that all of your support continues to make closer and closer to coming true. This coming year I hope to give back all that has been given. Behind the scenes I have 4 videos/projects that are in various states of production with 20+ still waiting to be started.

All this is to say...Thank you. I am looking forward to this next year in a BIG way.
