Social media
Reardon taught himself the basics of woodworking during the pandemic lockdown. His first video was him using a hand plane. Reardon gains most of his video ideas from fans, answering their questions.[4] Reardon gained his initial following on TikTok.[1] In his videos, Reardon only uses hand tools, but uses power tools for commissions.[4][1] As of 2024, Reardon had 3 million followers on TikTok and 1 million on YouTube.[2] Reardon has said that over half of his followers claim to be of Irish heritage and over half of his followers are from the United States.[4]
Over several videos, Reardon built a currach which he named Niamh Ōg (Young Niamh in English) due to it being the Kerry Naomhóg type currach, after the daughter of Manannán mac Lir, Niamh Cinn-Óir.[3][5]
Reardon was nominated for "Highest Quality Creator of the Year" at the Ireland and United Kingdom TikTok awards.[2]
Personal life
