Thanks again, Steve, for another bright spot in my day. I don't cut the handle off the paint stick. It gives me a place to note the grit, 120, 220, etc.
I think I have a 1x2 scrap - I'm going to make one of these, tonight. If the bears don't get me. Bears have decided we have a nice neighborhood. Hopefully I can deter them with power tool noise. Wish me luck!
After mauling that over, I couldn't bear the thought of working in my shop with wild animals on the loose. What a grizzly sight I would be after barely escaping.
Just do a Tim The Toolman Taylor grunt- might keep an away. Good luck.
As a scroll saw user I would recommend starting with masking tape over the board before glueing the template on. After cutting the template out you can peel the tape and template off without any residue of problems. No heat gun required.
Love these videos. Binge watching them all the time.
Thanks Steve. I delivered this one to my recently turned 9 granddaughter today. She LOVES it! Now a different one for the 11 year old in June.
Hi Steve, thanks for making these daily videos! I watch them every day with my boys (9, 11 and 13). It's how we keep track of how many days we've been stuck at home.
I was wondering if you would be able to talk about a bit about Brad nailers vs. pin nailers. What their intended uses are. As well as cordless vs. compressor.
(I'm in the midst of making the writing desk you made so my son has place for books for his online classes. And although I could use clamps, for the banding a nailer would be much easier.)
Thanks for getting me in to woodworking!
Keep the videos coming! They keep us somewhat sane!
They look fab! Wanted to say a huge thanks from a UK fan for all of your videos so far, been watching for around a year so I haven’t seen everything you’ve put out but I have seen a fair few videos! Also thanks for mentioning 3D modelling so much, my accuracy and designs have improved massively since I design everything properly in sketchup. Looking forward to the next video 🤓
To solve the problem of getting the pattern off the blocks, but a layer of masking tape down first and then use the spray adhesive. Just peels off nicely. Not my idea. I've seen it used countless times before.
I made like 25 of these as Christmas gifts for my students a few years ago. They were stumped for a while!
Steve you're a professional at using the jigsaw! Mine would never have come out that clean!
I don't know if this would help, but I too thought I was pretty rough with a jigsaw.. turns out, all I needed to do was change my blade from the one that came with it (which sucked). Bought an assorted jigsaw blade set and that made all the difference.
Thanks for tutorial. I teach a middle school woodshop class and the kids love making these. I have them layout the measurements, so it's a bit challenging, but they love the finished product. You make great videos. I really like how you show all the details and provide a template for this one.
I made the last puzzle and shared it with the family. I have been waiting for this one and will run to the shop and make it. Thank you so much for helping us survive the quarantine in style.
Thank you for another uplifting video, Steve. This looks like a fun project almost anyone can attempt, even with only a jigsaw. I hope you're enjoying making these videos as much as we are watching them, and don't feel obliged to keep up the pace if you feel like a break. I'd like to think what we can do in return. I know some people have sent items to you, is there anything in particular you could do with, woodwork related or not, maybe from our locations that isn't readily available where you are? London, UK, in my case.
Thank you for the nice project Steve. I can’t wait to have my high school students try it in the fall after lockdown!
thanks Steve - got back into woodworking recently and made one of these for the fun of it. fit the pieces tight and sanded down the outsides, rounded off the edges and tight when put together. good little 2 hour project for us mere mortals.
Ahh the good old High school wood shop project. I think i still have mine.
Finally the scroll saw getting some recognition!
This wood puzzle is easy and interesting to make and play with.
Thanks, Steve. This will make a perfect gift for my grandchildren.
I was wondering what else to make for a birthday gift and this idea is great.
Thank you for sharing, i appreciate it...
Looks like a good birthday gift for my nephew. Keep it up steve!!!
Steve, one thing we do in the scroll saw universe that may translate is blue tape between the template and the stock. makes removal very easy!
Awesome--I just made two for my nephews that I will send in the mail. BTW, it should read "US, Myanmar, and Liberia Measurements" (That's just a bit of metric humour from Canada). Thanks for the print out plans as it saved a lot of time.
Trick I picked up from one of the wood shows and use all the time now.Is, put masking tape on first and then stick template to it. Peels off nicely
Hey Steve. Great project.look forward to making these for the kids..
Follow a lot of woodworking channels but always 100% guarantee I'll watch your vids. Best personality in the community 👍
I'm definitely gonna need more time with my jigsaw before I'm able to make cuts as clean as you demonstrated here!
Those openings on the COG puzzle would be a snap with a mortising tool. Some are just a bit that works with a drill press. But they also make dedicated stand-alone mortising tools.
If you say “Rise Up Lights” it sounds like razor blades in Australian.
Thank you for the tutorial. Making these for Xmas gifts.
This was my school project 19 years ago . Good work
Hello steve, thanks a lot for all your videos. Thanks to this tutorial, I made a coffe table (your favorite kind of project) with this joinery to assemble the legs and it looks great!
There's a similar puzzle but with 6 pieces. My dad liked it so much he made some out of 4"X4"X24" pieces and gave them out as gifts.
Well- i know what I’m starting for the all nephews and nieces for Xmas! Great lil brain teaser for them. Thx
Totally outrageous. I love wood puzzles a lot. I'm making some for sure. Thank you Steve, Totally kool. Jim
Ah just in time, I hadn't been keeping up with the lockdown videos when they were first released and had binged them all over the last few days and was starting the get withdrawal :) thanks Steve
Awesome little puzzle! I know today is Monday, but it’s my Friday. Think I’ll make one when I get home!
Thank you for the puzzles. Nice break from my other project. I hope you find a few more.
Making some and sending them to friends with kids during this shelter-at-home time.
Thanks Steve! Appreciate the free plans and my son loves these kinds of puzzles.
Man, i love these puzzle videos! I just finished this one and also did the magical bolt one. It's really helping me get through the town lockdown. It's also helping me use up some of my small scrap pieces of wood that in reality would be otherwise useless
Pretty fantastic little project, Steve! 😃
Thanks a lot!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Great video! My kids will love this. Got loads of scrap wood lying around during lock down. Stay safe 👍
Cool puzzle! My father loves puzzle's; so I am going to make this for him.
Thanks Steve. I tried to make this puzzle several years ago and gave up. I made the mistake of using oak, making it hard to sand and then it split along the grain. This time I used Poplar. It was much easier. I used a scroll saw with a sharp blade.
Steve Your thoughtful videos are making the coronacation something positive and bearable. Thank you for your invaluable gift
So nice of you. Thanks Dan.
Thanks Steve I think I'll give this a go on a rainy English day 😄
Like your videos and the way you explain things. Keep them coming.
You can use blue tape before putting on the template and it will come off very easy once you are finished cutting it out.
That's a fun & cool puzzle, Steve - I have plenty of offcuts that will do nicely, & even tho' my son is now an adult, I'm sure he'll love this one. Stay safe Ramsey family :D
When I need to apply a pattern to wood I apply planters tape on the stock then using spray adhesive to the tape apply the pattern!
It is Easy to remove too! Thanks for sharing the pattern Steve! 😁🛫
Well I made the puzzle tonight! Out of red oak! I used a band saw and a scroll saw and lots of sanding to get this square and true to get it to fit together when the sanding started so did the vodka tonics the most dangerous part of the project was finding my way to the shower to get rid of the saw dust🤣🛫
If you don't have spray adhesive, I found that a little wood glue made some sturdy sanding sticks. You just have to wait a few hours.
it really is easier in metric ! But a super little thing to make using hand tools. Thanks.
When this hole thing is over you should do a recap episode to rap it all up and give us viewers some closer on this series
I notice you have the latest Jumanji poster in the background! Not sure if you liked it, but my job was supervising all the
Visual Effects!
Nice! I make wooden puzzles for a living and the one you came up with is oddly similar to a design I'm finishing now.
Jeez Steve with the razor blade ninja moves... Out of nowhere... "I'm gonna use my razor blade..."
Hey Steve, a channel recommendation. Grandpa Amu. He's an elderly craftsman in China who makes incredible things with very (VERY) basic tools. Mostly wood and bamboo from what I've seen.
Looks like he was in your recommendation
Great tutorial - Those thin sanding sticks are a great tip,
Definitely going to try this one but I'm all for using the bandsaw for c and g and the scroll saw for the o
I have many other things to do today, but I’m easily distracted. Think I’ll do this instead. Thanks👍🏼
Great little item for all my small scraps. Thanks Steve
That's a great idea for a Christmas present.
I watched the whole video, I didn't see any bottles, and where were the cogs too, hmmmm.... 😉😆😆😆😆👍 great puzzle Steve. 👏👏👏
You could do the cutting with a scroll saw as well, if you don't own a jigsaw (like me...). Tried it on mine and worked perfectly!
Cover the wood in painter’s tape, and glue the pattern to the tape. Then it peels off easily.
This is so cool. Printing the Templet now. Thanks Steve 😁
Brilliant! And what a cool thing to make. Thanks for sharing this, Steve, your vids over the last few weeks in particular have been a most welcome distraction! Cheers :)
Could you a vertical bike storage rack for shared garage space? Or wall mounted... If not that's ok. Just trying to organize for weekend workshop. Thanks Steve! Keep up the good work!
I'm gonna make that!
Hi, from New Orleans, Steve. Thank you for sharing.
Just made one! It’s really easy and it’s a pretty cool piece to set on the shelf!
Thanks for the inspiration, made mine out of plastic on my CNC (3d-printer) :)
Thank you for this b/c I have this puzzle and couldnt put it back together >>;;; Smooth brain over here....
That was cool. I think I can make that by just cutting three 1x2s and using the blocks themselves as the template.
Will enjoy making these first thing tomorrow morning. (Too late now, here in Belgium.)
Thanks for the daily entertainment!!
I made a couple of these a long time ago. Great for kids.
I like it, thanks so much!!
Thank you! This was a great project to do with my family!
I remember seeing one of Adam Savage's videos where he said he used to make sanding sticks by hand, until he found out he could buy emery boards (nail files) in a variety of grits. I feel like I'm overthinking it wondering which option is more economical on time and cost of materials.
The walnut really sells it!
Thanks for this and your many other videos.
Another great video in this series and a fun project, too! Thanks Steve.
Awesome Video ! Love The Puzzle !
Very cool my friend. I think i will make a few of those. Thanks for sharing
should have found a 3rd board and done 3 of them, with one piece of each type of wood....
Hey, Tim. Good thinking. That's a very good idea.
Hey @Steve Ramsey you have your weekend woodworker series for large projects but you should start one for smaller ones. You have said before that a scroll saw and bandsaw don't go along with that series but I figure there are a lot of people that would be interested in a series for small stuff/knick knacks. Here is an idea for the name. The weekend craft woodworker. I hope you see this and get some inspiration.
You probably could've gotten an entire other vid on making your sanding sticks
Now you're thinking like a youtube creator!
They are _damn_ useful, too.
This would be ideal to put a CNC machine to work on....
Thanks Steve
This will keep my kids busy while they are locked up at home 😂😂😂👍
Keep up the good work Steve!:)
I learned how to use a jigsaw properly thanks
I can recall Norm Abram frequently using a square hole chisel for making mortises for tenons. Would that work well for making the inner cavities for these parts?
Yes, Mortising machine has a load of uses.
I made one of these in my high school shop class
I always enjoy your videos but this one about drove me to drink. Making was easy but by the time I got inside to show my wife, I couldn't get it back together.:)
There is an easier way by using a dado blade. Great video and info. Thank you for sharing
Iv made it and its pretty cool. Thanks for the idea.
Great video! Your video's inspired me to start woodworking and I learned allot of them. I’m still a beginner but I started a youtube channel where I post some of the things I make.
Agradeço pelo vídeo. Fiz o meu.
1.4 m subscribers WOW. good deal. Apparently I'm not the only one that enjoys your videos.. except I see 11 people didn't like this one . I guess I don't understand why anyone would not like it unless it just some childish thing. Anyway keep up the great work. You have made lock-down better for 1.4 million of us.
Yeah, who 'dislikes' videos? It's like having a 4th grade crush where you stick your tongue out at the person you like...
Remember making this in 6 grade I found it in a box and I was having trouble solved it
Very cool little project!
