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

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

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 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.

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.

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.

Siding especially. I want to re do mine but can’t figure out where to start with my electrical panel

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

I helped my father in law who was a master carpenter of 35 years with 3 houses. The lessons learned have carried me into woodworking, which I absolutely love. I'm getting older and don't do ladder work unless I absolutely have no option. It seems to me "handyman" wages have skyrocked and they will come quote projects and then never show up to do the work in our area. Skilled laborers who work under an umbrella company charge a lot of money just to come quote a project, oftentimes with a much higher quote and a 6 to 1 year wait time before work can even begin. I have a $3700 chainlink fence quote from a company that took 7 months from the time I paid them in full until they did the work. They did excellent work the 1st time I had them out, the 2nd time was a nightmare. They put in the wrong gates I had requested, and the company who is still in business has ghosted me because they won't make it right. I have had multiple other companies come out to fix the issues I have, and no one will perform the work even though I'm willing to pay for the fix.

The two are so closely inter related, trying to teach the "how" before explaining the "why" would be same issue in any trade.

That’s a hard call. I voted pro, but when I first found your channel I was in the middle of the lockdown crazy trying to learn out to use a circ saw to make steps for the first time. At this point I know most basics and have been working on tinkering with woodworking. But I still watch all of your videos because just when I think I know a thing you correct something I am doing a little bit wrong. Lol. I watch both pro, middle and basic things in general. I am in the mindset of learning all DIY from woodworking, electrical, plumbing etc. I have shown my 16 year old some of your videos. He is considering the trades.
