Thank you for sharing this. I subscribed and started watching his videos from the beginning last night. I have a big smile on my face the entire time I'm watching.
It's refreshing to watch someone who is very free with the craft and not bound to some tight tolerances that other crafty youtube channels sometimes adhere to. He is quilting how he wants and with what he wants without worrying about the best and perfection. I suspect he is trying to appeal to other men in his situation and encourage them to learn a craft to channel energy into.
He also addressed the gun in an earlier video. He explains that they are a second amendment family and they are all trained and armed and that he likes to have protection at arms reach at any time.
