Oh man ! I can not believe I came across your chan just tonight. I absolutely love how easy going and honest you are. You make an absolutely PERFECT teacher dude. I appreciate the hell outta you for taking time from your day to create this vid and do everything else entailed to put it out here for us to learn from. Thank you for sharing your secrets. Also , I always just gotta step on the lid while pulling the can lol!
It was worth the 9 minutes of my life just to see somebody happy at what they are doing, keep up the fine work Sir.
Your vids nowdays are great, but this might even be better:)
Thank you for all the great stuff you have shown so far :)
i can't help thinking he looks like hugh laurie (dr. house)
I thought it was the only hahahahaha
Steve smiles way more than Dr. House though... :D
TheLeafKing Well, that's for sure.. haha
Eduardo Pardo Figueroa C. i second that
Eduardo Pardo Figueroa C. my first thought too. almost commented "Hello Dr. House" til I saw your comment
Wow, Steve using hand tools. Yeah, I got into using power saws from a bundle of birch branches I bought at a hobby store. I was excited to make them into a unique block set for my son. I always used hand tools in the past to cut various material for my crafting hobby so I thought no big deal. Well after cutting off a single piece and half way through another brach I threw down my hand saw and said enough. I had to admit to myself that my problem was a fear of power saws. So ultimately I searched youtube for safety videos, product reviews etc and as of a month ago I now own a miter saw and a table saw. I have also been binge watching your awesome videos. Thanks birch branch for refusing to let me become one with you and thanks Steve for your awesome videos that introduced me to woodworking.
That last project would make some awsome coasters also. Neat video.
The easiest thing to make from a log is a fire.
To anyone with a source of ignition...
Dude I’m a little late for this comment like 5 years late but I was litterally thinking the exact same thing
Before gluing the last piece onto the candle holder, you could have put a nail through it so the candle could be held nice a securely onto the top.
Great stuff as always, Steve.
+Simon Thornton it will brake the candle
Most candle holders have a nail.
This is the greatest WWMM video ever.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who has trouble with the caps on spray cans!
Totally was hoping he was gonna make a pint glass (obviously not glass though). I think it would have been awesome to drink a pint of angry orchard or another hard cider. Still cool though...
Do not thank Thomas Edison for electricity. If left up to Edison, we would still be running DC power. THANK NIKOLA TESLA!
I know they are basicly the fathers of electrical appliances, but doesn't anyone know the actual inventor of the powersaw? :C
Alonso Quintero THEY are not the inventors, TESLA is. Westinghouse and Edison were idiots compared to Tesla. The power saw was probably invented way before electricity was common. Probably sometime during the industrial revolution and more than likely steam powered.
DC power is safer and easier to store while AC is easier to change the voltage of DC is preferable power supply but AC is used so you dont have to have a power station in every small town and village and hundreds in every major city
Christian Meneses I remember seeing some big ass handsaws. operated by 2-4 men.
Christian Meneses you mean "unsung heroes"!!
LOL! Roy Underhill! Great drawer box! Great swing top box! Great art piece candle holder! Best of all... GREAT entertainment!
Steve, you did not tell a lie-you did cut down the apple tree. 😆 Love your work.
When did Dr. House become a carpenter?
LOL
He had to do something after "dying" ...
He said "I sliced" while he's working with apple wood. Here comes a lawsuit.
What?
ahaha
+Matthew Enderle You make no sense at all
CelticWolf "I" sliced. APPLEwood.
+Miko Raatikainen iSliced (iPod, iMac, iPhone) and "Apple"-wood.. If I had to guess he is trying to make a jab at the Apple company since their products usually have an "i" in front..
Funny I just get suggested this old video.
Yesterday I made a shelf from some apple I cut down in my garden 4-5 years ago.
Incredibly beautiful wood, I don't know why you never see it used.
This is the first time I've seen it.
I like this old video I've just found. The fun approach and the laughter are awesome. :)
Dude you look like Dr house
thought the same thing LOL
He IS Dr Wood House ;)
YES! OMG YES!
here in texas we would have made BBQ with the apple wood. now that's woodworking
Hahaha!!!!
Agreed !
Yep.
I like the whole concept here, imagination is a wonderful thing when unleashed!
Alot more creative than my log collection that I've disguised as a firewood pile!
Tesla, my friend, Tesla .- from Croatia. A man of world, and for the world. His parents were Serbians, but he was born in Croatia - litle land of many oportunaties.
I'm glad SOMEBODY picked up on that!
best thing to make with applewood...... BACON.
This guy is my hero, never have i before seen so many things to do with logs!!!! :O
Steve, you crack me up! Nice projects. If you had a lathe the apple grain would have been even more beautiful to behold.
Power sander with AC motor = Nikola Tesla ≠ Thomas Edison = DC D'bag
should have made "rustic wooden bracers" +200 armor and "rustic wooden helmet" +350 armor and "rustic wooden sword" + 50 damage
*****
lol neither actually just the kind of armor you would see in a video game
Awesome Channel hahahahaha
I've been watching your videos for about a year now and stumbled on this one haha. Keep up the great work as always.
bandsaw boxes... amg... teaching woodcraft over the years i cant count how many of those i have had to make.
Is this Dr. Houses Yt channel?
omg. cannot unsee
he means thank you nicola tesla:)
Thank you Steve for giving us some insight on your imaginative wood working, I enjoyed it. But for all other commenters, don't watch if you're going to be negative!
Great video! Your "waterfall candle stand" reminds me of a lamp I built in 8th grade shop class out of 2" square pine scraps.
He kind of looks like Hugh Laurie.
for the third one you should of made coasters
HAHAHAHAHA awesome video man! really like the candleholder waterfall and the "rustic clock" is HILARIOUS!
Even though I despise power tools with a passion... I enjoy your videos. Thanks Steve.
Think outside the box man.
Instead of using metal nails and screws to work with wood, use wooden nails and screws to make heavy metal machinery.
Dr. House ?
Haha true
Thank you for sharing your experiance and your happy mood with us
watchers. You seem as a man who found happyness in you soul and that "rubs of" on me. My compliments.
Tony in Sweden.
Forgot to also tell you that you do gorgeous work. Much love from this momma and daughter !!
Thank Edison? You mean 'thank Tesla!'
you should thank Tesla for your electric power tools, Edison had nothing to do with the development of electronics. he only sold them.
I think it all looks great. Liked the box and candle holder with the waterfall effect. Keep up the good work. Very interesting too.
Wow. The candle piece is DEFINITELY cool.
You look like Mike from The Middle
lmao
Yeah he does! I never noticed that.
Gotta' say, you should have thanked Tesla at 2:12; I don't imagine that saw was DC-operated.
And well, Edison invented the light bulb, not electricity anyway.
Vincent Pantaloni
Fuck Edison. That fat greedy piece of shit doesn't even compare to Telsa.
I'll be making several geocaching containers with this idea Steve. Thanks!
These are pretty cool. I like the candle holder the most. It has a great look to it with the wax waterfall look.
Does he look like House O_o
A happy House... O.o
I tought the same thing hahaha xD
You mean Nikola Tesla...
Dad and I cut down 3 very old orange trees that were in the backyard when Mum and Dad bought the place a few years ago but the trees had gone feral so no fruit on them any more but when we were cutting down the tree I put a whole load of it in my drying racks so that I can make something out of them once they had seasoned off :-) I noticed when cutting down the trees the smelled very much like oranges :-) I did not know that before but the wood grain on them is gorges :-) and as such will not work with them until I have the right project :-) for wood turning :-)
I did love the bandsaw box so I think that's on my list of thins to make from one part of my tree :-)
Thanks for The ideas :-) I did make a clock with a slice of the orange tree trunk and that came out nice :-) made it for a friend but will have to make another one for me I think :-)
Let the log be part of the future. What a nice log, Steve. Better than G+.
Don't do crack, kids!
Why did you record this with a potato?
+Steve Ramsey haha amazing reply
+Steve Ramsey haha nice reply..
+Steve Ramsey LOL, cute way to handle a troll.
bam! +Liam Prince you just got owned
Your next video should be "Things to make with a potato." :D
While the quality of the actual video wasn't great, it was definitely good as a whole
Really awesome creativity, with log, giving sooooper idea to utilize time in a way with nature
I thought UA-cam recommended me to watch "Things to make with a dog" because I watched a few dogs videos ,since I had a dog at that time. But he was annoying and I sold him.
Lol
tomatoes grow in greenhouses... they will grow more better i am telling you... (we Europeans are growing tomatoes in greenhouses)
Yeah, and I grow 'tomatoes' in a modified dresser with a HPS light, flir blocking C3 film, and carbon filter system.
cjmproduction why so expensive?
norchaaa Because hes growing "tomatoes".....
toleth88 you right. he is. growing "tomato plants"
norchaaa I love "tomato plants"!
OMG Steve! You've gone absolutely "hippie-dippie" in this one! I love those projects! :D
that box would make a real good key holder for out side
Thank you Thomas Edison? Wrong! The inventor of your AC current in your shop is Nikola Tesla. Edison invented the incandescent light bulb and the DC current in your car. Side note: Edison was not a positive role model. He was a very nasty man.
And Westinghouse was an asshole too. He owed Tesla money and Tesla forgave the debt and yet Tesla died poor.
On July 24, 1874, Woodward and his partner, Mathew Evans, a hotel keeper, filed a Canadian patent application on an electric light bulb.
Great job on the candle holder Steve looks good i think i will try this with the pine tree i had cut down over the summer
Apple wood, who would have known. Dude, I loved your video. I have one to many logs laying around with no idea what to do with them. I carve and whittle wood, but this is definitely the next upgrade for me. Looking forward to that.
Always innovative and pioneering new ideas, Ramsey. It is always amusing and instructive to follow your videos. Thanks
That candle holder was my favorite.
Love your humor!
Very informative! Time well spent. Thanks for the tips on working with logs. I have lots of fallen trees on my property and some just waiting to be cut down. I think I'll check out more of your videos.
Great work !
The bandsaw box and the box with a hinged lid would be perfect containers for caches in geocaching. :D
Awesome inspiration! I just coppiced a couple peach trees and saved the logs knowing one day I'd get some ideas =)
The waterfall candle is genius!
have yet to touch a piece of wood, but thanks to your videos, i have some ideas of things that i can do to get started that i feel would be in my realm of capability with my VERY limited space. thanks man!
i was looking for videos to do with car things and i came across this somehow and watched it all ahah, so nice video man kept me watching :)
Amazing ideas! I don't even remember why I came to this video, but, believe it or not, for well over 5 years I have a beautiful, straight 8ft long and 1.5ft thick very old apple-tree log in my yard. I was often thinking what I could do with that beautiful "tree". (It fell over in a strong storm and I cut off the top third with the branches to burn on the BBQ.) Now I have some inspiration. - Hope to be able to post you a video of the results, one of these days. Thanks, and cheers from Australia.
I LOVE the art piece! So cool.
I enjoyed the video. I like making all manner of things out of scrap wood. I found your video when I was looking for ways or tools to grind out a log for a djembe drum. I haven't found anything yet.
Nice one! I've been making small jewellery boxes out of logs from trees we've cut down except I've been using a router. I'll have to get a bandsaw and try this out.
Great job. Love your style. and you are funny and talk just enough. Mad props from Vermont!! Thank you!!
hahaha thx to this video i actually did make the bandsaw box and the candle holder from a very nice purpleish wood from a plum tree thx for the ideas steve!
These ideas are so good. Thankyou
The last idea I like a whole lot! Like it's genius!
Wow I love the last two pieces!
I just found your channel and am enjoying it immensely. I was wondering what you do with the extra project that you make to show us how to make whatever it is you're making.
great creativity! God Bless. Thanks for sharing.
Dr. House!!! You're back!!!
The candle holder with the wax fountain was awesome, Thanks Steve
I think the reason people don't use a lot of woods is because the way they grow only provides for smaller pieces of lumber. I personally, like to use Crape Myrtle. I think my peach tree out back got hit by lightning. If it doesn't make it, I'll be glad to see what it's got under the bark.
For those about to SHOCK !!!!
we salute YOU !
The candle holder is awesome!
I'm so glad that you feel at one with your wood.
When I cut down some big branches from our apple tree, I turned it on the lathe and made some Christmas decorations for the tree!
Love the clock by the way!
Make two logs by cutting half way along initial log, thus giving two logs. How many logs does it take to change a light bulb? If two can't change said bulb try making the log into two by cutting half way along the log. Yeah! Absolutely stunning.
Thanks Steve. Great ideas, you are awesome!
That candle thing is awesome! also, you could probably make the "rustic wall clock" into a sundial of sorts. Great video!
You sir are a bad ass. Now I know what to do with that log in my back yard!
Love the candle stairway! Great vid (as per usual!)
