Gavin)Wood n Stuff w/ Steve French2018-05-10 | Welcome back to Wood 'n' Stuff w/ Steve French. This supplement to the main build video is just for fun: A complete game of Quarter Hockey, played against Gavin on our newest iteration of this classic game. For plans, the rules and to see how to make your own game board, follow the links below.
Since I inadvertently violated the 180° rule of cinematography, the overhead shots are left/right flipped to avoid confusion, by keeping the players consistently on the same side of the screen. So, if you notice some shots (like close-up replays) seem to have an inverted Z axis, well, that's what happened. Oops! I should have paid more attention to how I mounted the overhead cam. Thanks for watching!
Players: Left side - Steve French Right side - Gavin Williams
Special thanks to Rockler Woodworking & Hardware, HomeFixated.com and Gavin Williams.

A hall table (or foyer table), in this case. Turn trash into treasure, or trash into cash. Just make something cool! FYI, The table wobbles a little in the video, but that was mostly due to the concrete floor. Though I did sand one leg ever so slightly to even it up, so it's rock steady on a flat surface.

5) "North" - YouTube Music Library by: Silent PartnerFrogfur Woodwork DEMO (NOT A COMPLETE VIDEO!) See descriptionWood n Stuff w/ Steve French2017-05-03 | Welcome back to Wood 'n' Stuff w/ Steve French. This video is some stuff I recorded for my friends at Frogfur Woodwork in Tampa, Florida. This is just a one-off video that I thought may interest some of you; more regular projects videos are on the way. It is an INCOMPLETE DEMO that served its intended purpose. Since it will never be "completed", I have permission to share it here. Note that the video ends abruptly and it WILL leave you hanging: YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!
You may recognize Joe and Edwin from Travel Channel's "Big Time RV". They where the cabinet shop guys in the first couple seasons. At the start of this year they left LazyDays to start Frogfur Woodwork, a company that specializes in custom furniture and cabinetry. "Fine Woodwork, Fine Design, Fine as Frogfur"
Technical note: If you wonder why the audio sounds degraded in some scenes, it's because a lot of this was recorded on a rather rainy day. The rain bearing down on the metal roof made quite a noise that drowned out the voices (my lack of wireless lapel mics didn't help). Thank goodness, however, for the magic of Audacity, which allowed me to almost completely eliminate the loud rain and exhaust fan noise, but at the expense of vocal quality. Trust me, this is far superior to the alternative!

Except for the very end, this video is compiled from clips I recorded a year ago. I've been tempted to delete the files and start over (hence the year delay). But since I'm lazy - and really don't feel like recording it again - I've decided it was better to use it than to waste it. This was recorded in my living room, as I was between shops at the time.

This is my contribution a collaborative project for Make It Matter, an effort to help those in need by raising money for charities across the world (in this case, autism awareness). Note that this is not intended for small children because of fragility and choking hazards.
This video and project was created as part of a collaboration between 21 talented makers across the world.
The purpose of this collaboration is to raise awareness to the hardship and difficulties families and children face every day when it comes to the disability and/or sickness of a child/children.
Every country in the world struggles to give the support both financially and physically that families with sick and disabled children desperately need.
Steven Twydell set up a campaign on the back of this amazing collaboration to help raise funds for children’s Charities around the world. The campaign is called Make It Matter.
All the projects made in this collaboration will be auctioned between the 18th and 25th of February on the Make It Matter web site here :- www.makersmakeitmatter.com All information regarding this campaign can also be found on the website.
The proceeds from this collaboration will be divided equally and sent to a children’s Autism charity in each of the countries the collaborators are from.
Please click on each link below and watch each makers video for this collaboration. Don’t forget to subscribe, like and share all of these amazing and generous makers !!

DIY (Quickie #8)Wood n Stuff w/ Steve French2017-01-05 | Let's make a safety pin out of wood! Inspired by one an old knifemaker friend gave me many years ago, this wooden safety pin is a fun and easy woodworking project. A great curiosity item to impress your friends and woo the women or men, whichever you seek (your mileage may vary). Let me show you how to make this awesome novelty!
The pin is make from rattan reed (sold as "diffuser reeds" for scented essential oils) and the clasp is made from maple salvaged from a shipping crate. You can make the clasp from any find grained hardwood. But - for best results - the pin body really needs to be rattan.
The mandrel I used to wrap the spring is a stainless steel chop stick that measures just under 1/4" diameter. Any similarly sized metal or plastic rod - such as a size 10 (6mm) knitting needle - will work. Avoid using a wooden dowel because you need to leave the rattan on the rod until it dries fully and a wooden dowel might swell and crush the rattan flat.
Don't wrap the spring too tightly or too quickly. You don't want to crush the rattan flat or the spring will be weaker. If the rattan cracks, you didn't soak it long enough. If it flattens out easily, you've soaked it too long. Approx. 20 minutes should do.

MUSIC: "Rhodesia" by: Twin Musicom (YouTube Music Library)Evolution RAGE 3: ReviewWood n Stuff w/ Steve French2016-07-04 | Welcome back to Wood 'n' Stuff w/ Steve French! This is a tool review video; but that doesn't mean it can't be fun. Let's check out Evolution Power Tools' new RAGE 3 compound sliding miter saw (Available through HomeDepot.com). This isn't just for cutting 2x4s. Stick around and I'll show you what I mean.
What you see in this video are the very first cuts made with the saw. The tool and blade are capable of cutting the metals faster. I was just being extra cautious, testing the waters before going all out cutting steel. Hey, don't judge; this is scary at first! When in doubt, slow it down. In reality - however - it's a tungsten carbide made to handle this very task. NEVER try this with a standard wood cutting carbide toothed blade!
NOTE: Evolution sells a special blade for cutting stainless steel. According to Evolution Power Tools, the blade that comes with the RAGE 3 should *NOT* be used to cut stainless steel (or chrome).

I made this seesaw (teeter-totter) last December as a Christmas gift for two of our granddaughters. It's based on an Anna White plan ( http://ana-white.com/2012/05/plans/birthday-seesaw ) but I made it even more durable by adding 6 extra parts that I feel should have been included in the original plans. I also shaped the seats to make them more friendly to small legs. I used Titebond III glue. In reality, you probably don't need glue at all, but I'll leave that for you to decide.

I re-upload this in hopes of maybe getting something in exchange for the effort I put into the original video.

CONSTRUCTION NOTES: If you make one of these, I'd recommend using flange-style bearings that ride on a shaft instead of the lazy Susan bearing. The lazy Susan bearing has more drag than I would have liked. I've since altered how I build these and plan to show the new bearing style as soon as I get my new shop up and running. Also, for the flexible piece that connects the pointer to the frame, a strip or leather works very well.

In this video I show how to safely uncoil a band saw blade. Many people toss it on the floor but there is a better way. I also cover another way to coil a baHeart-shaped candy dish: Woodworking projectWood n Stuff w/ Steve French2015-02-15 | Welcome to Wood 'n' Stuff w/ Steve French! Last night (Valentine's eve) I realized that I still needed a gift and card. So I got to work and made my wife this candy dish. It serves as a gift and a card. Done and done!
The ficus branch used is from a tree that meant a lot to my wife. It was grown from a sapling that belonged to her late mother. After her death, the tree (which was in a pot at the time) was rescued and planted in the back yard where my wife lived at the time. We've long since left that home but, luckily, I had the idea to cut off a branch to take with us. I've made her a couple of things now from this wood and there's enough to make several more things in the future.
Obviously, this could be made in any shape that one might want. Be creative and have fun. This project took only a couple hours, with some glue drying time.

MUSIC: "Fresh-Sparks-01" (pacdv.com)Visual Foo magic illusion Pre-DemoWood n Stuff w/ Steve French2015-02-10 | Welcome to Wood 'n' Stuff w/Steve French! Regular build videos will be returning very soon! But if you've wondered where I've been the past month, this should fill you in a little.
An old magic prop, Abbott's Cabinet of Foo, has been re-imagined for the modern magician! Conceived by professional magician Steve Somers (The Amazing Teacher youtube.com/user/TheAmazingTeacher ) and designed and built by myself, "Visual Foo" is capable is producing a large live rabbit, multiple doves or whatever else one chooses from an empty box.
This video is a "pre-demo". At some point I will be making an actual demo video for the sake of promoting this product for sale to the professional magic community. But I first have to finish adding the cosmetic paint touches to the prop and stand. The stand (painted) will be available as a separate item and may appear as a build video.
I will NOT be making a build video for this project. But rest assured that regular project videos are going to be returning very soon... I promise: I'm working on editing some video right now.6 simple shop improvements w/ big impacts +GIVEAWAY!Wood n Stuff w/ Steve French2015-01-10 | Welcome to Wood 'n' Stuff w/Steve French!

The conclusion of the building of Woody Ball has arrived. If you missed the first part, you'll probably want to watch it first: youtube.com/watch?v=Go3rIJKHHn8
ALSO WATCH THESE VIDEOS BY THE OTHERS WHO TACKLED THIS CREATIVITY; YOU'LL LIKE WHAT THEY CAME UP WITH!
Masterminded by Kevin of krtwood, the Cut List Build is a creativity exercise that myself and 3 other YouTube woodworkers challenged ourselves with. We began with a 2x4 foot piece of a sheet good of our choice. Each of us added one cut to the "cut list". In some respect, this is like the Scrap Bin Challenge a bunch of us did recently; only we all start with the exact same sized 'scraps'.
We also each added a hardware item or two to the list of permitted items we may use. At least two items from the list must be used somehow in your build. In the build, reasonable substitutions may be made. For example, a larger or small diameter PVC pipe may be used, or twine instead of rope. The idea is to test your creativity and think outside of the box!
Thank you very much to +krtwood, +Manhattan Wood Project and +The Nomadic Polywright Show. And thanks to you for taking the time to watch!
