    Wait so Rob actually plays a shovel? I always thought it was supposed to be fake for "comedic value". You know, the whole "ha he's pretending to be playing a shovel that's funny". This is pretty cool, never knew you could play a shovel.

    • @Iliketomakestuff
      @Iliketomakestuff  7 років тому +102

      :) Nope, he really plays it. He's pretty amazing at what he does!

      If you had a string on your body, he'd probably play you as well

      Probably not a great guitar but I bet if you hang it on the wall it will start some interesting conversations.

    Love the simplistic craziness of that build, Bob. And that dude freaking jammed on it. Insane you can get that sound from a shovel. I dig it...

    @sizzlechooch 8 років тому +26

    wow. I got to 6:25 before i realized u had background music going on. Usually videos with music have it cranked louder than the speaker. Very subtle. Touch of class. Class act. new subscriber.

    I love how you actually go through everything you did rather than just a montage of some of the steps, really gives you more appreciation for the amount of work that goes into something like this

    Rob is actually the reason I discovered your channel, after his Shovel Metal video he said that you were the guy who built it, so I thought I'd go take a look at your channel and I was not disappointed ! Thanks a lot for your videos, and keep up the good work ;)

    So I am a Contractor/Carpenter/Woodworker and a Guitar player since about 1966 with a degree in music 79, I've never used. So naturally as a subscriber I gravitated to this video. I really didn't think it would work as well as it did. Honestly, I thought you're going to hang this on the wall with your empty beer bottle collection. Good job.

  • @locohombre79

  • @SpookyMcGhee
    @SpookyMcGhee 4 роки тому

    Bob, great video! I tried making one of these like this and found that, in my case, annealing the spots on the shovel (heating the steel with a torch to a point slightly above the critical temperature in order to soften the metal to a more easily workable hardness) where holes must be drilled makes for a much easier time and greatly lessens the risk of damaging your drill bits on the hardened steel of the shovel.
    I am not saying you did anything wrong nor do I consider myself an expert in metalworking. I am simply sharing something that I discovered through my own attempt at this project.
    Cheers,
    Dante

    Hey Bob - great video! I'm new to woodworking and was wondering if you could do a video on how to make a proper workbench, as this is probably the first thing I have to build in order to make more projects. I always love your videos and they're really helpful for learning about building! Keep it up!
