Thank you for sharing the last 8 years with me!
It’s hard to believe but 8 years ago today the very first episode of Matt’s Basement Workshop was posted. A lot has changed since that very first episode, and I’m sure I’ve told the story enough times that I don’t need to repeat it here.
But I just want to say thank you to everyone who has listened, watched, commented and have participated in some way with the show. You have no idea what it means to me! Here’s to many more years of podcasting!
THANK YOU!!!

Congrats Matt. It’s been a blast listening, watching and, for the Spoken Wood Podcast, helping out. You’ve earned that “Podfather” title and it suits you so well. Keep it coming my friend.
Matt,
Thanks a lot for your efforts these last 8 years. I was a winner of one
Of your early swags ( a Kreg multi-max ) quite a few years ago.
Keep up the good work, I,ll be watching along with a lot of others.
Out of couiosity, do you have any idea of how many followers you have ?
My best regards, and thanks again.

It’s hard to say, I have quite a few different ways for people to follow the show, but if I were to estimate it would be a little over 10,000 subscribers (including YouTube).
Matt, Congratulations and thank you!
Thank you everyone! I really appreciate the congratulations.
Congrats Matt! It’s like being in my buddies shop (or mine) chatting away and enjoying what we do.
Thanks! That’s actually what I was going for originally all those years ago.
Matt, just wanted to say how much I enjoy your site. I think I have watched everything you have done. I am lucky to have you helping me to become a better woodworker. Thanks for everything.
