    I just finished building one of these displays for my Daughter In Law. She runs Full Marathons so I had to scale it up. :-)
    Thanks for the nice plan, Steve.

    @crmcbrideww Před 7 lety +8

    I have a vintage CNC machine from the 1890. My great grandfather passed it down to me. That's how I grew to love woodworking

    • @Yonatan24
      @Yonatan24 Před 7 lety

      A CNC or a milling machine? A woodworking CNC is computer controlled...

    • @crmcbrideww
      @crmcbrideww Před 7 lety

      Yes we was a wise man and helped build America with his Computer Numerical Controled Machine. He also passed down his 1890's SawStop table saw. You can't build anything with out those.

      It probably ran on steam. You know - 0 is no shovel of coal, 1 is a shovel of coal.

    Steve I just wanted to let you know that iv always like woodworking. But I went to a concert that had a Cajon in the band. I searched information about them online and stumbled across your video on how to make one. Everyery since I have been really passionate about woodworking. Buying up saws and tools from garage sales and making stuff instead of buying it. Anyways I just wanted to let you know you and your channel are the main reason I really started getting in to woodworking

  • @WayWoodworking
    @WayWoodworking Před 7 lety +17

    Love that you keep the mistakes in your videos. Makes all mine feel Ok! Nice job on the half marathons as well.

    • @ragnkja
      @ragnkja Před 7 lety +5

      It's only a mistake if you can't learn from it.

    • @theopiner402
      @theopiner402 Před 7 lety +2

      I also appreciate that he leaves in his mistakes. Everything I make has a flaw of some kind, it is nice to know that even more experienced woodworkers experience the same thing.

  • @MRrwmac
    @MRrwmac Před 7 lety

    Ones own life goals and achieving them are the deepest and most satisfying experiences that will be in our hearts and minds forever!
    You do deserve the gold paint and that's not just because of your marathons.

    Congratulations for all these awards and the cool stand for it. I think we don't have this kind of wood over here in Brazil. Thank you for sharing. Thanks to MicroJig and Casper for sponsoring the show.

  • @johnthompson3462

    Great Casper mattress ad in this one! Entertaining and informative. They are all good, but this one is better.

  • @hobbyman3608
    @hobbyman3608 Před 7 lety

    You inspire me Steve, you're approach to wood working has kept me from shoving a 2x4x10 up my poop shoot and becoming a pretentious prick on the tubes. Another great video. Thank you for your time and effort.

    This is a great idea for the medallions my son has, I think a shelf on top would be great for his trophies. Thanks for sharing!

  • @TheDboardman
    @TheDboardman Před 7 lety +1

    I have been a full time woodworker for 3 years now, part time for the 2 before that. First yes I still watch WWMM weekly. Yes I still learn things from time to time even though it's not meant for me. With that said a portion of your woodworking skill will be how you can fix mistakes without anyone knowing there was a mistake to begin with. It could be small things like sanding too hard and burning through your finish, mis-cuts, or drips in your finish. All those super awesome woodworking projects you see have mistakes in them, they were just hidden well.

  • @callumetelaaho4945
    @callumetelaaho4945 Před 7 lety

    Use to run half marathons and 3 London marathons. No longer able to run due to being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2016. Maybe one day take part in a wheelchair. Was wondering how to display my medals. Love this idea.

  • @Fixed-ze9rw

    Mistake? Nah - those bevels was EXTRA FANCY!

    • @ragnkja

      Merely a small change in the design.

  • @rickbrightwell

    Just found my next project for my cross-country running son. And I like the way the slats bevel toward the back better anyway.

  • @xaxipistaxi
    @xaxipistaxi Před 7 lety

    I dropped a like just because of the Casper ad. Wonderful.

  • @ColoradoDemings
    @ColoradoDemings Před 7 lety +2

    Having the cut-out letters put themselves in place via stop-motion animation would be an adequate substitute for cutting them out on the CNC. Be sure to add some squeaking or shuffling sound effects. Bonus points for working a Wilhelm Scream in there somewhere.

  • @christhomas5937
    @christhomas5937 Před 7 lety

    I like using alder wood being I live in the PNW it grows all over. I like it, it mills up nicely, takes paint and stain really well. Excellent choice! Nice work!

  • @PMichaels
    @PMichaels Před 7 lety

    Looks awesome, Steve! Even with the "mistakes" your projects still look amazing. 🙂 And displaying your medals is in no way self-serving -- you earned each one so display them proudly! Thanks for another great project.

  • @hotrodhog2170
    @hotrodhog2170 Před 7 lety +4

    I was wondering why your appearance has changed so much over the last year and a half! You're just running! I was beginning to think you were sick or your health was declining. Glad you're doing well and thumbs up for filling up the board with medals!

    You're the man, Steve. You're the man. Have you ever done a veteran's folded flag display case? I'd love to have one for my dad's made with scrap lumber from the house he and mom built in 1952 that I grew up in. Thanks for all the cool videos!

  • @PuffsDragon
    @PuffsDragon Před 7 lety

    In shop class, many moons ago we used a lot of alder for face framing cabinets and such. since i moved to the east side of the US i dont see alder in the stores. Anyhow nice use of a mistake. turned out well.

    Alder is actually used quite often as a substitute for cherry.

    Dude when is the next video coming? I like this one but look forward to fridays for the next one. The videos for your online woodworking class must be taking up all you time. And, oh ya...you probably want to spend time with your family also. That's pretty fun too.

  • @526steve
    @526steve Před 7 lety

    I've used alder for many furniture projects. It machines well and I think its grain looks more like cherry. Except it doesn't change color with exposure to light.

  • @philt7218
    @philt7218 Před 7 lety

    Wow I didn't know you were a runner, I am on the xc team at my school and also enjoy woodworking. I hope to do my first half marathon this spring. This build was a great idea 👌

  • @MommyMoneyMatters
    @MommyMoneyMatters Před 7 lety

    Most of my favorite projects came from mistakes. You should try rub and buff for the letters, it is easy to use and gives a great metal like finish, it turned out great though!

  • @clevelandexplorer2221
    @clevelandexplorer2221 Před 4 lety

    Haha jokes aside while a lot of people disrespect mistakes and those who make them, knowledge isn't gained unless we do them. So a teacher who makes a mistake does it as an example for others and the teacher to learn. There's loads of mistakes in life which have worked for the best and I make far too many which have ruined a project having to start gain haha. The thing is I see it's actually better how you did it, it looks a lot like an Asian gate with the beams pointing up at top. I fully support it pal

  • @Hondo782

    I gave a thumbs up in part because I liked the video but also just because you do not have a CNC machine in your workshop .

  • @snyparaustralis540
    @snyparaustralis540 Před 7 lety +1

    It's not a mistake, it's an oppurtunity for redesign

  • @crystalsoulslayer
    @crystalsoulslayer Před 7 lety

    I always enjoy it when someone takes a mistake and turns it into a design element. It's all very Bob Ross. Don't make all the trees the same. This happy little tree has some bevels cut in it.
    Also, "alder" can be pronounced "all-der" like "call," or it can be pronounced "ahl-der" like "gal," the way you did. Either is correct. It's one of those regional dialect things that keeps American English so interesting.

    @circoatayde Před 7 lety +1

    Ey Steve! Greetings from México. I just bought two GRR-RIPPERS on internet. I never saw them before, but watching your videos I knew that product. Thank you for this! I hope your sponsors pay you more now that this product can be sold to other countries. By the way. I´m going to build a whole wall of Shoji doors (japanese style) using Banak wood. But now that i bought the wood i can see the wooden boards (10 ft) are buckled (If i put them in the floor they have a small curve in the middle), how can I correct this? Cheers!

  • @matthewwilliams4380
    @matthewwilliams4380 Před 7 lety

    I wanted to do a similar project with textured spray paint. Obviously there is a huge cost advantage to doing it with wood over metal but does it compare?
