Woodworking for Mere Mortals
Lockdown, entry 235:
I think I'm done with levitation and gravity magic. I'm moving on to conjuring demons now.
don't tempt him!
Steve, awesome videos, been watching for years but these videos, for some reason I look forward to more than others, almost like watching dvr sitcoms. Keep them coming. Saying hello from San Antonio.
I can't wait to try this and fool my son. Mainly cause he's 2 and he's fooled by everything.
"You want my kid?"
I laughed so hard because I have a great kid and I ask people that question all the time (usually in jest like you, but still)
And his reaction shot was priceless. Well cut.
Watching the lock down video's from day 1 and enjoy them greatly. Stay well.
This two week lockdown sure is lasting forever.
Lmao
If
Don't worry. Everything will reopen again on Nov 4th.
You dropped "Lockdown Woodworking" in the title... Why? Because it's now "RE-LOCKDOWN Woodworking" ... I think it's Day #1,026... not sure, lost track. For the A B C's of woodworking, you're at the letter 'F' ... So "F" is for "Frustration" as in Frustrated about this danged lockdown... can you tell I'm traumatically triggered by this lockdown? But I'll bet it's going to be an *"F" clamp* because you can't have enough clamps. Well, see you tomorrow if the river doesn't rise.
10 mile hike! 😱 Wow! ......I'd die 😵🤣🤙
"But then you're walking around with the thread on your finger. I'm probably not the world's best magician."
Max Malini, arguably one of the greatest magicians who ever lived, used to frequently produce a large block of ice at dinner parties or other gatherings. Malini died in 1942, and home freezers weren't introduced until around that time. This meant Malini had to source a block of ice and carry it concealed on his person for several hours. What made the trick so amazing was that no one would imagine a normal person would carry around a huge block of ice, cold and melting all over them, for an hour or more just for the chance to produce it for an effect. And that's the real secret to magic: magicians aren't like normal people.
You nailed it mate, exactly right. It's the mindset. Cheers mate, stay healthy.
Steve, one of the things I like about your videos, is that you don't use "disturbing" music as a background , that covers your voice. I often turn off the viewing all together or turn off the sound. Some people, whether it's woodworking or cooking or whatever, have a glandular need to have loud music on their videos. What a waste.
Also helps to be wearing either black or very dark clothing, which will further camouflage the thread.
Hi Steve, Thanks to you I've been a Weekend Wood Worker Mortal for a few years now and all of the techniques I've used have been learned from you. I have a question since you are such a cat lover. I volunteer for an organization called The Homeless Cat Network and I feed a colony of homeless cats in the neighborhood. Their cat feeding stations are basically little sheds that are hidden in bushes and frankly they are pretty old. I'd like to build new ones that are different but don't have any ideas. Would love to get some input from you on style and how to make them with left over lumber. Thanks.
This needs highlighting. STEVE we need you!!!!!!!!
I'm really missing WOODWORKING IN THE NEWS.
CATAFICATION COMMENCE!!!
Remember when Black Eye Peas we’re everywhere? Then marijuana was made legal in places and suddenly, people weren’t as impressed anymore
I don't get it.
This is really great! I am a professional magician and this really gives me and I have always wanted to play with one of these to see if I'd ever want to put it my show. Its hard to justify a purchase when I may never use it again but, now I can mess around with it for the price of dowel and a weight!
One thing that others may want to try-- I have seen versions of this where the thread is tied as large loop that way you can use 2 hands to control it and you do not have to tie it to your finger.
We have some amazing scenery here in North Wales and love to go walking. Check out Snowdon our highest mountain. Have you ever been to the UK?
''hours of fun right there'' lol
Hide a tiny magnet in the dowel where the hole is and use a thread with another tiny magnet on the end. Then you can disconnect the thread easily.
Came here to comment the same thing. Just make sure it's a strong magnet that can support the weight of the dowel as it swings around.
Brilliant mate! Glad you took a day off and got out in the wilderness! Ricky, NZ.
Anyone who’s seen the episode of Columbo featuring Leonard Nimoy as a surgeon will know what to do with the bit of thread...
Why not use the drill press to make the hole in the dowel?
(Not second guessing, genuinely curious)
@Tom Faigle i think he wanted to make the project as diy friendly as possible, so using a hand drill (something most people have) is the best option.
Uh, where would the rest of the dowel go on a table top drill press?
@@davidgeorge8541 Oh yeah, I forget Steve's was tabletop. I scored a cheap floor standing press with a big enough hole in the center of its "table", which I've always kind of wondered if it was for this situation. You can also swing the table out of the way, though I can see clamping the dowel might be challenging in either case.
5:52 and then they say “Can you do it again” eeeuuhh no actually😅
I was thinking the exact same thing. HaHa
"A magician never shows the same trick twice, sorry"
"Need to meditate first to restore my mana. Five-minute break, everyone!"
That would be a clever answer, right? :)
Andrzej Fiałkowski that’s what I tell my coworkers. Haha
It would be easy enough to make a little clip that fit the hole so you could attach or remove the string in a flash.
Keep it up Steve! Totally digging the vlog!
I just came here for the first video I clicked to learn the trick, I get the one video where you are just messing around, Thank you for showing me how to do this trick🐾...
I saw one of those in use, at a Pedaler's Jamboree. The kid was pretty good. Wearing a black shirt helps also.
Sorry to hear your politicians are continuing to ruin your state. Enjoying your videos.
The next logical step in this magician series is to show us how to saw someone in half!! Get it?!? **SAW** someone in half!

@Steve Ramsay I am new in this industry. Doing some small project at home. Like making some shelves in wardrobe type of things. Shall I buy drop saw or shall I buy table saw. Not cutting large boards. But around 60-90cm wide or long. My budget is for Ozito company. Highly appreciate your time and help.
I got three girls I want to take outside and float away for a bit. J/K awesome fun project Steve. Stay safe and play some Beatles come together.
You mean the levitating stick ISN'T magic???
I suppose you'll tell me next that Santa doesn't exist and the Easter Bunny got eaten by the Big Bad Wolf !!!!
Steve "David Copperfield" Ramsey
Thank you for your vids. I found this one really amusing and brought a smile to my face
A group of 6 of us are doing a Fred Astaire routine Easter Parade Stepping Out in a spring show. I will make 6 plus straw boaters. Should be a great item me thinks. Many thanks for the idea!!
Building magic props would be a great and unique addition to your channel! I've been studying magic since I was a kid, but never really "performing" unless you count pulling a quarter out of my grandson's ear. I have a suitcase full of tricks I acquired many years ago. Some simple props/tricks would make great woodworking projects.
I have been looking to buy a new home....Must have shop...Medium size pond....
Great video Steve, but WHERE ARE THE SKETCHUP PLANS?!?!?! 😱😲😜
And another thing! What's the deal with you USA guys? You make stuff and in your plans you say "and this bit has to be 3& 5/16s of an inch and that bit has to be 4 & 3/32s" .... The reality is that this is B.S you make the thing with the wood you had to hand and once it was complete you remembered to measure it for the post! If the wood is up or down a bit it doesn't matter as long as it fits
There are all sorts of magic prop plans you can buy online. You probably don’t want to turn this into a magic channel, but watching you build some other ones would be different from the typical DIY projects that we see online. Didn’t realize this was so easy. I imagine the thumbs down are from illusion purists that are mad you gave away a secret.
Glad you took some time off. Looked like a beautiful hike!
Anyone looking to get more into using this thing search Levitation Wand. I've been using mine for two years and it's a really fun way to blow off stress and practice your spatial awareness. Careful with using weak string though. There's nothing worse than your string breaking and the wand flying across the room at 60 miles an hour.
Steve the wizard¡¡¡
Steve, ive been watching a ton of videos today. I have a table saw i inherited and im learning a lot.
There is one project ive been asked to do and im stumped. Dont even know what terminology to use to find a video for this.
Basically my sister is a new crafter and wants a tabletop paper storage shelf she saw. She wants the shelvs to be removable> glass (for cleaning) I found some glass shelves 5mm thick. I need to cut a indent in the shelf wall about 6mm thick to slide the glass into. Can i use a thick kurf on my table saw, only lifting the blade up a few mm to not cut through the whole sheet of wood?
Love the videos.
I already follow this chanel for woodworking tips imagine my surprise when out of curiosity i research floating stick and this chanel pops
Tried making this. I ruined it. I cut it 27 and 3/16. Why does woodworking have to be so hard?
Excelente. Eu estava querendo aprender esta mágica. Parabéns
My grandson is going to love that.... I'm already the coolest Grandpa in the world anyway 😎
Great videos. Has anyone ever mentioned that you're basically Phil from Modern Family? 😆
Great Update Steve !
I remember this one! Unfortunately my son is 17 now and I think he’d figure it out..........well, he is a teenager 😄
Fun one. Thanks.
Tie the string to a ring instead of wrapping it around your finger. With a little slack around where you tie the string on the stick, you'll be able to easily cut the string while talking and gesticulating before handing the stick over to the audience for them to try.
Can't stop looking at your router table Steve, very nice. Is it something you covered in a video?
I subscribed instantly once I heard “10 mile hike” lol haha
What if you counter sink a magnet instead of drilling a tiny hole for the string, and you use a magnet on the end of the string and you can attach and disconnect quickly?
Nice video Steve! Thanks for keeping the magic alive after all these years.
Put a small tack or brad in the hole you drilled near the balance point and connect a small neodymium magnet (painted black as well) to the thread.
Having made my share of dancing canes, I recommend making a loop out of the thread to get a decent swing. It will let you do some circles around your hands, arm, and body.
Love it! The magic stick and the slightly sarcastic humor just brightened my day.
Neato!
One thing I love is wood working and magic has gone hand to hand for 100's of years
A little passive aggressive with that Black Eyed Peas comment 😃
Alan Wakeling the magician had a full routine around the dancing cane.
Love it, 😊
I have a 7-year-old grandson that this would be perfect for!
Small Neodymium magnets!
To attach and detach the string
Cool, but where is MICROJIG GRRIPPER?
Very cool, can’t wait to make one. Does it help to be wearing a black shirt as well?
Pretty interesting, Steve! Really nice!!! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
wutcha got hangin over there Mr. Steve?...The black bar trapezey lookin' thing...You doin' TRX Workouts...💪🏼?
Yes...I made that back when the gyms shut down!
@1:40 keeps me coming back..we are all human..we are all the same and thanks for embracing that!
Maybe make a floating drill bit...
Gostei, com certeza vale um joinha!!!!
Eu Sou O Comentário Brasileiro Que Vc Procura
You call it a 10 mile hike but in reality it was a 5 mile hike but you came back!
Shouldn't there be some wooden jaws on that vice ,
this is a good video. and probably also a good channel
That was terrible. I dont' care about your hike.
Don’t wear a white shirt . Purple would be ok.
Even better the second time around!
The black shirt probably helps obscure the thread.
anyone else suggest wear a black shirt when you do this?
I don’t know why but I found 1:25 hilarious
I would like some music under the video....
I told my husband I needed a vice for my shop. He brought me a HUGE rotates every which way one.....I like yours! What kind/brand is it!!!
You want a huge rotating something for your vice. Very impressively kinky. I think you meant vise.
This is wand-erful. Thanks Steve.
Do you still see the weird dog walking man ?
A hike to Bon Tempe Lake and Lake Lagunitas?
Put the Olympic rings up, I see them in the table still
Hey…! Well that was fun!!!
Thanks!!!
Nice break from ww. Thanks lol
blank screen here? Has the vid been removed?
why wouldn't you your drill press??
Steve hmmmm i am not shore , but maybe you should stick to woodworking. Thank you for every video you make. You make my day better, and i get to Smile More. It gives me a moment of joy, and i learn something. Best wishes from Jan in Norway
I think Steve been under lockdown far too long, needs to see other humans not just camera lens cap !!
What is the next project , trap for insects?
Steve, no offence, but your weird
Fun video! Thanks Steve!
Besides magic wand trick, I learned some good techniques and approaches..
Thanx Steve.
Regards from Karachi.
Well! It took 121 days of lockdown before you finally cracked. 😜
