How to stay creative throughout the (ENTIRE) year, with Jacqueline Suskin (Ep 79)

Jon Peters started posting woodworking videos in March of 2010 with three videos showing how he made a dining table, immediately establishing the type and quality of furniture we could look forward to on his channel, Longview Woodworking. Fast forward eleven years, and Jon is still regularly cranking out an eclectic mix of woodworking, art, tool reviews, shop projects, building construction, home renovation, farming, even beekeeping. All out of his stunningly beautiful barn workshop. No matter what the project or what the video, Jon always delivers his videos with a calm demeanor and a straightforward approach. He's like the neighbor with all the cool stuff and a cool shop who you just want to hang out with. Jon Peters, Longview Woodworking on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/JonPetersArtHome

I can't think of anyone who seems to have more fun with DIY projects than Danie Berger, AKA DIY Danie. Her YouTube channel is a blend of art, woodworking, renovating and home remodeling, all delivered with high-energy and enthusiasm. All of Danie's projects offer practical DIY tips and advice, as well as ideas and inspiration that everyone can bring to their own homes. And it's more than that, every video tells a story. Danie posted her first video to YouTube...DIY Farmhouse Dining Space Makeover for Under $200... on May 11, 2019, immediately establishing her style. Since then, in just 2 and a half years, she has racked up almost 15 million views and accumulated 221,000 subscribers. Watch and subscribe to DIY Danie on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/DIYDanie

Just having a little fun this week with Ethan James of The Honest Carpenter channel. When he was on episode 4, I discovered that he's as big a fan of horror movies as I am, so I HAD to invite him back to talk spooky and scary movies, just in time for Halloween.  Don't worry, if horror movies aren't your thing, don't worry...I'll be back with regular woodworker and maker interviews next week! Be sure to check out The Honest Carpenter channel on YouTube. It's one of my favorites. https://www.youtube.com/c/TheHonestCarpenter

Jaime Nakae and Jay Grenier are the couple behind Wicked Makers, a DIY YouTube channel largely devoted to making spooky props and decorations for Halloween. And although all these projects are super professional looking, they are all very approachable for almost any DIYer. This, along with their on-camera chemistry explain why their videos get so many views.  Check out Wicked Makers on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/WickedMakers
