Thanks Steve, I really enjoy these long form videos. Just like your courses!
Thanks David!
YouTube told me this video was posted one minute ago. comments are 19 hours ago.
“Shorts” have largely killed quality long form build videos unfortunately
@Claude H Interesting. And I think its ironic that Steve Ramsey has gotten very good at both.
Barstool made with 3 dollar studs. But, Steve is a million dollar stud.
So I’m guessing that’s your sister next to you.😂
@Gabriel Garcia oh you’d love that won’t you..
I miss Steve’s project videos. They inspired me to start building things myself, you’re the best Steve!
I’m really impressed by HD’s Burrill 2x4s. I just pulled from the top and took 8 straight, clear boards with little knots and they are 4.50 each.
Great to see projects again. I always get inspired when I watch these videos.
I love that you leave your mistakes in the videos and show how to simply and easily solve the issue without worrying too much.
The main reason I love this channel is because it never starts with running stock through a $5,000 planer and/or joiner. A close second would be knowing that no project is perfectly cut and dry. I’ve only been trying to make things for a very short time, but every project has featured a moment where I make the same face as what we see at 10:55. It’s so great to know this happens to everyone and makes me much more willing to laugh at myself when it happens, rather than beating myself up.
Very true! These are custom, one of kind pieces of furniture!
The only time I get “flawless” pieces is if I mass produce something. I made salt cellars/keepsake boxes for Christmas last year and the first few had a bit of character, lol. Prototypes I kept for myself.
Not long ago my friends and I were building a photo backdrop for an event. We got it mostly assembled and then stood back and we all realized at the same time that we had assembled half of the pieces upside down.

That’s a classic mug at that time stamp!
Really nice! I wouldn’t mind you posting the full video, however long it took to make, I would enjoy having this play while working from home.
Amazing project, thanks for sharing this with us all! I really find your woodworking relaxing and super interesting
Really like your videos, as they have a real feel when it comes to wood working (would like to see a little curve in the set and back rest)
You were so far along in the video without making mistakes, and I was like “something’s not right, no mistakes?!”. Seconds later the first, then the second 😅
Recently made a stool myself, made almost the same mistakes 😂
Honestly, I love seeing the mistakes. Everyone makes them in the shop, even the good ones. For me, it’s a motivation killer. It’s nice to see someone push thru and complete the project anyway
I work in construction as an electrician. Every house and building I’ve worked on I’ve seen mistakes made by every discipline involved. It’s all fine, the only thing that matters is how you deal with them. Where you see a perfect piece, the maker will be seeing all the repairs and coverups. So when you’re the maker, keep that in mind and just fix the mistake and move on with the project.
In addition to that 90* attachment I have what Ryboi calls the ‘flexible shaft bit holder’. I’m sure other brands have one as well, just the one that I have. It has helped me immensely in plumbing projects in addition to awkward angles where 90* wasn’t quite what I needed.
Always enjoy your videos Steve.
Your videos were the first I watched when I began woodworking. It’s so refreshing seeing someone not working solely with high end tools that a lot of us can’t afford, so I appreciate your tool choices. Sure, I’d love to have a “woodpecker wall” like a lot of other YouTube creators, but unfortunately I know that’s never going to happen, and I’m okay with that.
I was glad to see this video because I thought you were only doing voice overs now and am relieved to see that’s not the case. I enjoy your personality. Also, thank you so much for not being pompous and editing out all mistakes. Seeing creators make mistakes and how to fix them makes woodworking less intimidating and helps us learn. Thank you.
I love this style video, Steve…. Really enjoy seeing the digital rendering along with the rest of the build video…. Very helpful to hear how you think up and design projects!
It’s great to see you’re still making Steve, I started watching videos about 18 months ago. There still things I’d like to a go at making. I have done a couple of stools, one with pocket holes it never occurred to me to face the holes downwards.
Thanks for these build videos. I’ve missed them. You do such a great job explaining the process
I’ve always loved these videos, the mistakes are what makes it real! Also I love the fact that you work in the garage like the rest of us mere mortals! I miss that catchy song that used to be in the videos though. I think I’m going to try to build this chair for my garage!
Love watching and hopefully learning something from your videos. It’s refreshing to see a pro like yourself straightening up a mistake which helps me get through the many I make on a project. It was a good thing no glue was used.
