  5. When you can engineer and execute to this level that’s master craftsmanship status—plain and simple.

  6. Good luck finding a contractor who would be able and willing to do this.

  8. I would really like to know how many hours it took to do all of that. That is amazing.

  13. Man is a builder and he's also a carpenter. Better than the shorter video on this project.

  17. That was some AMAZING work. Would have love to see him continue the tradition of having one baluster upside down.

  22. Mr Silva is truly a genius problem solver and an American icon! I am always amazed at how he effortlessly solves problems
