Truthfully I'd like to see both. Simple projects are always great but tougher subjects are always welcome. I haven't framed a wall in... Longer than I want to admit LOL! Refreshers and primers would be excellent. Always love to learn new stuff

How about: learning the fundamentals through demonstration on simple projects. Building a shed teaches you almost everything you need to know about framing and roofing a house.

I think an apprenticeship series would be really cool. Start from newbie skills up to professional

I know what the poll results say so far, but let me say that there are so many young professionals getting into the game having to learn everything the hard way. I want content on professional instructions for carpentry and siding, there's a million places for people trying to do DIY. I'd rather you be instructing the next generation of professional carpenters

Go for the middle. There are plenty of quality beginner videos, including your own. Expert videos can be too specific and esoteric. Help your viewers to grow to become intermediate or expert DIYers and help intermediate pros get expert help to bump them to the next level. The intermediate topics, and learning to troubleshoot our issues are what I look for most at this stage. Often, I have to watch my multiple videos and take ideas from each to solve a problem at home. Videos like one you had on door alignment are most helpful in providing a subset of knowledge that can be used to figure out a problem rather than instructions for a specific scenario.

I would vote a bit of everything, in random order. If people perceive your channel as becoming just one or the other, some might unsubscribe, and then they would lose out because you do great videos.

I've been framing for almost thirty years and I'm not so arrogant to believe I know it all. I learned from old cats from the seventies and eighties and I've seen many changes since I first picked up a makita saw and became the cut guy. Your never too old to learn. Especially since they change the building codes every day it seems.

Being a new woodworker, and given the projects that I am wanting to do I get more information on the how to's from The Honest Carpenter then most of the channels on woodworking. For one thing my projects are not making tables and furniture. I'm wanting to build a feed shed and other items like learning how replace or repair door jams, moulding, etc.

Both would be great. There's always a few tips and tricks with the basics to be learned and the more complex stuff is great to know for the future

Distribute based on the poll, as of now it’s kind of a 60/40 based on your followers. 60% build videos and 40% how to’s. Just an idea, I love you channel either way

Pro-level, but including things like mortise and tenon, dovetails, shaping, and the respective applications. It would also be great to see more detailed instruction in timber framing.

I'm from Sweden, our rules about buildings are different so I would assume courses on framing etc would not apply, but we make furniture yhe same way :).
