Jeff Thorman, a lifelong professional contractor and YouTube personality, works with his son, Matt, simultaneously passing on his love of using tools the same way his own father did to him.

"A person's love of building often starts with a father mentoring a son or daughter on how tools work," said Rena Fiorello, director of brand marketing at Crescent Tools. "While we anticipated that these three YouTube influencers were influenced greatly by their dads, it's interesting to see how unique each of their stories are. It's heartwarming to hear how folks who teach thousands of online subscribers the best practices for building were influenced so much by one single person — their dad."
