Wow! I was wondering where the sudden flood of orders were coming from. Thank you so much for featuring my product. I was deeply touched by your kind words. And yes, if anyone would like it in the playing card size, just let me know :)
Total class act to feature another creator like this and refuse to take business away from them. Lifting people up instead of climbing on top of them. Always impressed with David.
10:16 David handles the frustration of tool trolls not seeing past their noses so well. "My job is to inspire you, your job is to figure out what to do with that inspiration." Should have been Lesson #4
Pro tip from a professional joiner regarding your first board; if you're gonna discard the sapwood, do it before surfacing and thicknesses, especially on thin or crown cut boards. You'll remove less of the good stuff down the road.
I used to really fret when drying lumber. It sort of dawned on me as I ripped a cupped slab for jointing that most of my slabs ended up being rough-cut down anyhow. I quit worrying as much about drying.
It was smart to put ‘get wood’ at the beginning of your list bc it’s easier in the morning. Great job as always. I love the mix of projects on your channel.
Oh man, I love the sapwood portion of walnut slabs, it's such a contrast to the usual colors in the heartwood and I love being able to use that in a project.
Interesting project. In the spirit of "there is always another way" I just use a spiral bound notebook. 3" x 5", spiral on the top. Fits in a breast pocket so easy to carry and access. Already lined, flip the page or rip it off when done. Simple and cheap.
My wife loves you for this I'll take inspiration from it for sure! Thanks a bunch. I'm just not super creative, but I'm capable of using stuff like this as inspiration. I needed a coffee filter holder, and just pulled out a filter, and three hours later I had a holder, that was my one of few self designed pieces.
I feel you on the physical list. 25 years in IT and all the other stuff. Just give me a notebook. I have 2 or 3 notebooks that float around with project sketches, job notes, numbers, whatever in them. Just easy to have a piece of paper open and a list, and you can just look at it. As gross as it sounds, I have a salvaged white board I'm thinking about putting in my shop so I can have my big list of things to do so I can actually have it on my mind more vs spacing out. A little tacky, but.. I duno.
What a nice surprise seeing a new video from you on a Friday morning. What a really neat idea and yes the stencil is genius as rubber stamps do tend to get messy. Nice little project, and Dave I can’t say this enough; I am loving your new style on video with your narrative you are now using.
Ask Jimmy next time you record the podcast, I swear he mentioned using blank playing cards in a video of his! I have been saving GOOS (good on one side) paper (accidently print a page and don't need it, use the blank side instead of recycling right away) and cutting them into quarters and use those as note sheets since highschool! Love your compartment/display for them.
There are some very creative people out there. There are also people who can deign somethings out of necessity. I am one of those weird in between goofballs. As alwys, thanks for the time and effort
In the spirit of “there’s many ways” to achieve the same result, the printed to do list can be easily made with heavy card stock sent through a printer and then cut the cards to your preferred size. In one 8x10 sheet you can get a lot of cards laid out.
Nice little project. Use 3x5 cards and spiral notebook but hadn’t heard or thought of blank playing card notes. Interesting. I know for myself when looking for a new way to do things I’ll get some ideas from CZcams and elsewhere and then break that down to its simpler elements to effectively achieve what I wanted to do in my own way.
You could also take 5-10 minutes or so and just stamp out a whole deck, so they are all ready to go. But I can also see how creating the list "from scratch" each time can be part of the process of making the list in the first place. Like a small dopamine reward. ✅
What a great little build. Really appreciate you sharing your mental approach to projects. And I love it when you find very small tools to get things done in a better way. You’re the Adam Savage of woodworking lol
Amazing video as always. The new format is getting better and better. But I died laughing at the super imposed fusion360 on the old iMac. So many little jokes sprinkled throughout are like little carrots to keep me watching :)
I really love this project. The blank playing cards is a pro tip i will order them directly and this project is now on top of my list! Great job and a real inspiration! Thank you!
On the first example, unless you need long pieces of straight, unbroken grain in your project, like a pair of skis or stiles for an entry door or something, I usually opt for cutting the warped slab into smaller pieces first, according to the needs of the project. That takes out a lot of the warp, in the sense that warp over 6 feet is a deeper bow than cutting that into 2 3-foot pieces and the resulting now-shallower bow over 3 feet, for example. The smaller pieces can then have less thickness removed in the planer, ending up with thicker pieces for your project, which can be resawn or whatever you need. And, I don't know, I like leaving a little sapwood in a walnut project, for the contrasting colors. None of which contradicts the underlying truth that something too good to be true, is in fact too good to be true. 😎
Great video! Love the ideas all the way around. I’m also really enjoying the new way that you are incorporating your sponsor in the video, I don’t mind watching the segment while you build.
It seemed like you made this video for me. I recently bought a barn load of locally cut walnut and pecan. It was live edge and about 6/4 thick. Also, from an estate sale, air dried and cheap, cheap, cheap. It sat under a tarp on my trailer for a few months. Finally, I decided it was time to begin milling. I also don't use live edge material. As I began, the wood turned to dust. The interiors of the slabs were totally eaten by bugs (the exterior looked fine). I ended up with a couple dozen 3"-4" wide boards, 30" to 40" long. Everything else was junk. A local sawyer said the slabs were not stickered when stacked which trapped moisture in the slabs. This provided a banquet for bugs for years. And, on your other topic, when I'm making multiple pieces, I tend to figure out a great way to do it when I'm on the last few pieces. Or, sometimes I struggle through the whole job and then think of a better way in my sleep. Haha. Great info-taining video. Thx.
If I want to remember something, I need to write it down on paper. Note app on my phone does not cut it. I had a comp sci professor that kept a hoard of old computer punch cards which he used for taking notes. He would always have a stack in his pocket for that purpose. As far as I know, he still does this. And there's always a better (or at least different) way to do something. Thank you for the continued inspiration!
Two things 1) I’m loving your videos these days. Awesome builds, well presented, and you seem super happy. 2) Is Etsy-guy Brad Rodriguez? I remember from one of his videos that he has a 3-d print business and I think I saw something like this
Glad you got yourself a 3D printer, it is a very useful tool for woodworkers and hobbyist in general :) if you need any advice I might be able to help ;)
Great video as always love your quote My job is to inspire you,your job is to figure out what to do with that inspiration. I’m going to write that one down and Thank you always for your inspiration David. Love your channel keep up the amazing work.
I got a 3d printer a year or so ago and it's helped so much. I can make templates with it and then use those to make an MDF or plywood template that will last much longer. It's basically a budget CNC in terms of woodworking. Then all the organization stuff...I couldn't go without it now.
My dad always said: "Give the laziest man the hardest job, he'll find the easiest way to do it." 🤣 I'm hopeful he wasn't specifically talking about me. 😁
I made an index card pad/holder out of leather. Has a stiffner inside so you can actually write on it without support or a flat surface. Has two pockets to slip cards in. One pocket has blank cards and the other has in process to do stuff or import reminders. Its perfect. Fits into any pockets i even added a pen loop
Just curious if you ever thought about Bristolboard and laser?? Can etch with the laser and cut them at the same time. Custom size too. Great idea wish I was this organized.
At the 10:00 mark, woodworking is three things, straight cut, kerf cut or a pockets. Combine that with what nick offerman said, everything is essentially a chisel. We use different sized chisels at different speeds and angles to create amazing things by destroying little paths in natural substrate.
Yours has more style. And I think stamping is more satisfying. Both solve the problem but I would rather have your design on my desk or workbench. Nice project.
Beautiful design, Dave! Really well done! 😃 But I honestly like your design best. And perhaps you could incorporate the stencil where the stamp is? So, you wouldn't need the other place, under the pens. Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Well, I am caught between form over function! His design is brilliant, but yours has a beauty to it. And would be less likely to be covered up with a shop towel 🤣
Interesting. I, too, have tried every To-do app there is. But I find myself just writing on scraps of paper in every conceivable blank space. Until the paper looks like a crazy person's crazy town map. You may be on to something.
When you got to “there’s always a simpler way,” I immediately thought “hey, what if I just cut an index card in half?” Sure enough, playing cards are 2.5”x3.5”, so half a 4x6 is just a little taller and wider than your playing cards, while half a 3x5 is only a little shorter (many apologies to my metric friends, but I think you can visualize this without too much effort). Index cards are usually ruled in landscape, so you end up with something an awful lot like what you showed us. No little checkboxes though, but at least you get the lines for free.

So sophomoric. But I still laughed. 😁
It’s also super important as a symbol of your physical health. If you begin to not get wood when you wake up in the mornings see your doctor asap.
@@Andi.Mitchell.Designs While my doctor is quite attractive that might be inappropriate...
For me, nothing beats a paper list
Also I see an OG Drunken Woodworker shirt.
You definitely are the Adam Savage of woodworking my friend. Great video, got my mind working which is a nice feeling
I get so excited when I see you post a new video. Definitely one of my favorite creators on CZcams.
Thank you!
@@MakeSomething always man! I'd love to speak to you one day on some of the video equipment you use.
Oh man, I love the sapwood portion of walnut slabs, it's such a contrast to the usual colors in the heartwood and I love being able to use that in a project.
Was so satisfying when the wood pieces automatically fed through your sander. Like paper feeding into a printer. Lol

This video is a great inspiration. I'm glad I watched it.

I'll take inspiration from it for sure!

I needed a coffee filter holder, and just pulled out a filter, and three hours later I had a holder, that was my one of few self designed pieces.
I like using the walnut sapwood. It can make some very interesting pieces.
I like how you made the stamp holder double as a stamping guide.
Throwback to the Drunken Woodworker! IYKYK

I get you! My shop desk faces the man door into the house. I hung a dry erase up on the door so every time I looked up my weekly plan is right there!
What a nice surprise seeing a new video from you on a Friday morning. What a really neat idea and yes the stencil is genius as rubber stamps do tend to get messy. Nice little project, and Dave I can’t say this enough; I am loving your new style on video with your narrative you are now using.
I'm with you on the paper list as well! I feel like it's so much easier and more convenient than the phone.
The drunken wood worker has sure come a long way. Sure is a long time since the last book. Great video. Cheers John
Cool I have the exact same motivational quote on the top of my monitor :)

I LOVE this. Did not know about blank playing cards, that's a great idea. I feel your pain on the to do lists, this is a great idea.
❤️
Smart idea to combine wood glue and CA glue!
That thumbnail just screams for a title with a ‘Check It!’ at the end. 😄
love seeing the old school DW tshirt!
Great video love the camera work and music choices
Laser etch-able rubber? Sh*t. I have gotta try that. I really dig this video - very much digging the recent stylistic change too. Thanks, Dave!
Probably one of my favorite style of video to date that you have done. Even with a small project I was hooked by you inspiration. Great stuff.
In the spirit of “there’s many ways” to achieve the same result, the printed to do list can be easily made with heavy card stock sent through a printer and then cut the cards to your preferred size. In one 8x10 sheet you can get a lot of cards laid out.

If you make version 2, maybe 4 pens. The three plus one for the sharpie you're using for the stencil. Cool project!

These are all great projects that look wonderful to use all of the time. The last one was very cool as you can change the colors easily.

10:59 Nonchalantly cutting the microjig and leaving a spray of green on the tablesaw was beautiful
I’m yeah, that was an accident. Haha!
David, I’ve followed you for years and if ALL the projects, I think this is at, or near the top, of the neatest!
Thank you!

Profi TIPP: cut the slab in half before jointing and planing, so you get thicker slabs!
I got a 3d printer a year or so ago and it's helped so much. I can make templates with it and then use those to make an MDF or plywood template that will last much longer. It's basically a budget CNC in terms of woodworking. Then all the organization stuff...I couldn't go without it now.

Just fyi, even though I'm subscribed, I didn't get notified about this video? Also, I loved the "tip" about stacking infeed for the drum sander:)
Good stuff man. I like the music in your videos.
Love it David!
Great video, thanks for sharing!
This is great - thanks!
I like the clear phone case with the card. You need a slit on the side so you can switch the cards out easier.
Yes!
Love the style of this video!!

Well, I am caught between form over function! His design is brilliant, but yours has a beauty to it. And would be less likely to be covered up with a shop towel 🤣
Great video! You should have made the "3 lessons" as a checklist on the screen so you could check 3 more things off your list 😂
Oh man, that’s brilliant!
Woodworkers love fun projects. And overkill. And subtraction. 😁
Interesting. I, too, have tried every To-do app there is. But I find myself just writing on scraps of paper in every conceivable blank space. Until the paper looks like a crazy person's crazy town map. You may be on to something.
make the pen holder with magnets. easy to move pen holder to other things you make
I just use 3x5 lined note cards. Have for years.
When you got to “there’s always a simpler way,” I immediately thought “hey, what if I just cut an index card in half?” Sure enough, playing cards are 2.5”x3.5”, so half a 4x6 is just a little taller and wider than your playing cards, while half a 3x5 is only a little shorter (many apologies to my metric friends, but I think you can visualize this without too much effort).

I had that monitor back when I was born
The playing cards sound nice, but I'll stick to my whiteboard and phone camera.
I like the original Imac! I'm surprised you're able to run fusion on it!! I wish they would bring back that design...
Best design ever. Mine’s been hacked with an M1 Mac mini.
Index cards. The old fashioned way. Still works.
If I had a todo list small enough to fit on a playing card I'd have a lot of time to make a custom walnut playingcardlist stand too. 😅
If I had a dollar for every "note taking" and "list making" app I've tried, I'd be a Brazillionaire.
No, you’d have a dollar. “Each” is an important word.

Paper mate Inkjoy pens. It was one of my favorite but the new pens I have are even more enjoyable Pilot Precise v5 or the STAEDTLER Triplus.
Noted, thanks!
Temu has a plastic checklist template for Post-it notes, just saying
get sh*t done. lol totally stealing this. thanks and great video
I wonder if the coated cards would work well with wet erase markers...then it's reusable, rather than throwing away cards.
I like it! I really like it!
My only fear is my wife will like it more...
Will you be making the template for note cards available for purchase?
David, when you are planing a warped board using wedges, how do you keep the board from moving off the flat board underneath it? Hot glue?
