I’m excited to announce I’ve finally made it as a YouTube content provider! I now have my very own “personal troll.” If you’re a content provider on YouTube and don’t have your own personal troll, you haven’t “arrived” yet!

My personal troll has recently started to trash (thumbs down) my videos as soon as they are posted (before there has been any time to actually watch them). That’s how I know I have a personal troll as opposed to a random troll (in transit, looking for a home).

BTW – If you wish to “thumbs down” my videos, it’s okay. It doesn’t bother me personally and still shows interest/audience engagement in the YouTube algorithm. Besides, there is plenty of room for more trolls on my channel (I don’t discriminate – Trolls need a little love too, sometimes). Of course, I won’t object to a bunch of ”thumbs-ups” either! In fact, they are encouraged.

Only a few more subscribers (around a dozen) to make the 800-subscriber milestone for my channel! The winner will receive a Shoestring Shipyard shop apron, made in USA,with the tag line: “Everyone needs a little dinghy…..”

The winner of this drawing will receive a Shoestring Shipyard Shop Apron (made in USA).  Watch the upcoming 800-subscriber drawing video to see if you are the winner. If it’s your name chosen, get in touch with me via private message on Facebook, or send an email with your mailing address so I can send out your prize as soon as possible. Make sure you contact me within 30 days from the date this winner video is posted or you will forfeit the prize.

Next week, I’ll post a construction video for a contractor’s sandwich board type sign. This type of sign is portable and can be displayed at any job site, then reused many times over. I’ll include FREE PLANS in both Imperial and Metric sizes in a pdf download.

Many thanks to all my subscribers for participating, commenting, liking, and sharing my videos. I very much appreciate your continued support of my YouTube channel. It’s a lot of fun for me, and I hope this trend continues.
