It's awesome to see some of your older videos and how your shop and production have improved!

It's log, it's log, it's big it's heavy it's wood, it's log, it's log, it's better than bad it's good! Everyone wants a log! come on and get your log!

Oh man ! I can not believe I came across your chan just tonight. I absolutely love how easy going and honest you are. You make an absolutely PERFECT teacher dude. I appreciate the hell outta you for taking time from your day to create this vid and do everything else entailed to put it out here for us to learn from. Thank you for sharing your secrets. Also , I always just gotta step on the lid while pulling the can lol!

Wow, Steve using hand tools. Yeah, I got into using power saws from a bundle of birch branches I bought at a hobby store. I was excited to make them into a unique block set for my son. I always used hand tools in the past to cut various material for my crafting hobby so I thought no big deal. Well after cutting off a single piece and half way through another brach I threw down my hand saw and said enough. I had to admit to myself that my problem was a fear of power saws. So ultimately I searched youtube for safety videos, product reviews etc and as of a month ago I now own a miter saw and a table saw. I have also been binge watching your awesome videos. Thanks birch branch for refusing to let me become one with you and thanks Steve for your awesome videos that introduced me to woodworking.

Your vids nowdays are great, but this might even be better:) Thank you for all the great stuff you have shown so far :)

Before gluing the last piece onto the candle holder, you could have put a nail through it so the candle could be held nice a securely onto the top. Great stuff as always, Steve.

It was worth the 9 minutes of my life just to see somebody happy at what they are doing, keep up the fine work Sir.

LOL! Roy Underhill! Great drawer box! Great swing top box! Great art piece candle holder! Best of all... GREAT entertainment!

i can't help thinking he looks like hugh laurie (dr. house)

The easiest thing to make from a log is a fire.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who has trouble with the caps on spray cans!

I like this old video I've just found. The fun approach and the laughter are awesome. :)

Totally was hoping he was gonna make a pint glass (obviously not glass though). I think it would have been awesome to drink a pint of angry orchard or another hard cider. Still cool though...

He said "I sliced" while he's working with apple wood. Here comes a lawsuit.

Funny I just get suggested this old video. Yesterday I made a shelf from some apple I cut down in my garden 4-5 years ago. Incredibly beautiful wood, I don't know why you never see it used. This is the first time I've seen it.

Steve, you crack me up! Nice projects. If you had a lathe the apple grain would have been even more beautiful to behold.

here in texas we would have made BBQ with the apple wood. now that's woodworking

Do not thank Thomas Edison for electricity. If left up to Edison, we would still be running DC power. THANK NIKOLA TESLA!

This is the greatest WWMM video ever.

Wow. The candle piece is DEFINITELY cool.

Dude you look like Dr house

When did Dr. House become a carpenter?

Thank you for sharing your experiance and your happy mood with us watchers. You seem as a man who found happyness in you soul and that "rubs of" on me. My compliments. Tony in Sweden.

that box would make a real good key holder for out side

should have made "rustic wooden bracers" +200 armor and "rustic wooden helmet" +350 armor and "rustic wooden sword" + 50 damage

Power sander with AC motor = Nikola Tesla ≠ Thomas Edison = DC D'bag

This guy is my hero, never have i before seen so many things to do with logs!!!! :O

Alot more creative than my log collection that I've disguised as a firewood pile!

Tesla, my friend, Tesla .- from Croatia. A man of world, and for the world. His parents were Serbians, but he was born in Croatia - litle land of many oportunaties.

best thing to make with applewood...... BACON.

That last project would make some awsome coasters also. Neat video.

bandsaw boxes... amg... teaching woodcraft over the years i cant count how many of those i have had to make.

Is this Dr. Houses Yt channel?

for the third one you should of made coasters

Steve, you did not tell a lie-you did cut down the apple tree. 😆 Love your work.

The bandsaw box and the box with a hinged lid would be perfect containers for caches in geocaching. :D

He kind of looks like Hugh Laurie.

Dr. House ?

Great video! Your "waterfall candle stand" reminds me of a lamp I built in 8th grade shop class out of 2" square pine scraps.

Even though I despise power tools with a passion... I enjoy your videos. Thanks Steve.

he means thank you nicola tesla:)

Thank Edison? You mean 'thank Tesla!'

I'll be making several geocaching containers with this idea Steve. Thanks!

Very informative! Time well spent. Thanks for the tips on working with logs. I have lots of fallen trees on my property and some just waiting to be cut down. I think I'll check out more of your videos.

You look like Mike from The Middle

Think outside the box man. Instead of using metal nails and screws to work with wood, use wooden nails and screws to make heavy metal machinery.

I think it all looks great. Liked the box and candle holder with the waterfall effect. Keep up the good work. Very interesting too.

I like the whole concept here, imagination is a wonderful thing when unleashed!

you should thank Tesla for your electric power tools, Edison had nothing to do with the development of electronics. he only sold them.

Don't do crack, kids!

That candle holder was my favorite.

Great job. Love your style. and you are funny and talk just enough. Mad props from Vermont!! Thank you!!

Does he look like House O_o

Gotta' say, you should have thanked Tesla at 2:12; I don't imagine that saw was DC-operated.

Dad and I cut down 3 very old orange trees that were in the backyard when Mum and Dad bought the place a few years ago but the trees had gone feral so no fruit on them any more but when we were cutting down the tree I put a whole load of it in my drying racks so that I can make something out of them once they had seasoned off :-) I noticed when cutting down the trees the smelled very much like oranges :-) I did not know that before but the wood grain on them is gorges :-) and as such will not work with them until I have the right project :-) for wood turning :-) I did love the bandsaw box so I think that's on my list of thins to make from one part of my tree :-) Thanks for The ideas :-) I did make a clock with a slice of the orange tree trunk and that came out nice :-) made it for a friend but will have to make another one for me I think :-)

Apple wood, who would have known. Dude, I loved your video. I have one to many logs laying around with no idea what to do with them. I carve and whittle wood, but this is definitely the next upgrade for me. Looking forward to that.

You mean Nikola Tesla...

Why did you record this with a potato?

Let the log be part of the future. What a nice log, Steve. Better than G+.

Really awesome creativity, with log, giving sooooper idea to utilize time in a way with nature

tomatoes grow in greenhouses... they will grow more better i am telling you... (we Europeans are growing tomatoes in greenhouses)

Thank you Thomas Edison? Wrong! The inventor of your AC current in your shop is Nikola Tesla. Edison invented the incandescent light bulb and the DC current in your car. Side note: Edison was not a positive role model. He was a very nasty man.

The candle holder with the wax fountain was awesome, Thanks Steve

The waterfall candle is genius!

I thought KZfaq recommended me to watch "Things to make with a dog" because I watched a few dogs videos ,since I had a dog at that time. But he was annoying and I sold him.

I'm so glad that you feel at one with your wood.

I love your candle stand too but the rustic wall clock is boss!

I've been watching your videos for about a year now and stumbled on this one haha. Keep up the great work as always.

The candle holder is awesome!

Always innovative and pioneering new ideas, Ramsey. It is always amusing and instructive to follow your videos. Thanks

Also can flatten out 1 side of the branch, making sure that it's 100% flat AND level, & on the top side bore out holes for candles. They are neat & look great.

Caught a glimpse of the old IPA box in the back... Hell yeah!

It was fun watching your video. Good idea to use those logs. Thanks for posting.

Forgot to also tell you that you do gorgeous work. Much love from this momma and daughter !!

You could slice up a log, separate the pieces with some sort of metal leg, and make a cool modern fountain. (There would have to be a wooden bowl at the bottom to catch the water)

Great job on the candle holder Steve looks good i think i will try this with the pine tree i had cut down over the summer

These are pretty cool. I like the candle holder the most. It has a great look to it with the wax waterfall look.

The last idea I like a whole lot! Like it's genius!

i was looking for videos to do with car things and i came across this somehow and watched it all ahah, so nice video man kept me watching :)

Steve I made drinking coasters out of logs using my bandsaw, I use the sap wood (outer shell) as the holder and the inner log for the coasters.

HAHAHAHAHA awesome video man! really like the candleholder waterfall and the "rustic clock" is HILARIOUS!

Awesome as usual Steve, and the candle holder is the best. Idea...Place some small rocks and pebbles on the fall and then wax it. Gives it that authentic fall look. Endless ideas.

Things to make with logs: Firewood, termite farm, sundial, mortar & pestle, log jouse, log furniture, trebuchet, mangonel, cutting board, end grain target for knives and tomahawks, tomahawk or knife handles, wooden steering wheels, ox cart, ox yoke, wooden spoon, skateboard deck, compost bin(s). Full size wood replica of pieta, totem pole, imitation tree, coat rack for Shaquille O'Neil.

I just found your channel and am enjoying it immensely. I was wondering what you do with the extra project that you make to show us how to make whatever it is you're making.

great creativity! God Bless. Thanks for sharing.

OMG Steve! You've gone absolutely "hippie-dippie" in this one! I love those projects! :D

When I cut down some big branches from our apple tree, I turned it on the lathe and made some Christmas decorations for the tree! Love the clock by the way!

I enjoyed the video. I like making all manner of things out of scrap wood. I found your video when I was looking for ways or tools to grind out a log for a djembe drum. I haven't found anything yet.

I LOVE the art piece! So cool.

Thank you Steve for giving us some insight on your imaginative wood working, I enjoyed it. But for all other commenters, don't watch if you're going to be negative!

Amazing ideas! I don't even remember why I came to this video, but, believe it or not, for well over 5 years I have a beautiful, straight 8ft long and 1.5ft thick very old apple-tree log in my yard. I was often thinking what I could do with that beautiful "tree". (It fell over in a strong storm and I cut off the top third with the branches to burn on the BBQ.) Now I have some inspiration. - Hope to be able to post you a video of the results, one of these days. Thanks, and cheers from Australia.

Nice one! I've been making small jewellery boxes out of logs from trees we've cut down except I've been using a router. I'll have to get a bandsaw and try this out.

that candle holder is sick!

I used to cut down larger saplings and use that wood to make model engine propellers. I used a hatchet to cut it down to about 10" lengths, and split off approximate thickness boards that I would later hand-carve to shape, dry, and balance/sand. Painted grey with red tips, from a little over 4 inches to some 7 inch ones, they worked and was one of the coolest things I've done with raw wood. Just thought I'd share. ^^

I love that little draw the first one its proper cute xx

Made the second one for a geocache box. Didnt have a bandsaw tho... So i drilled alot of holes in the inside and then took the hammer and chisel! Took me awhile tho lol. Great projects! thanx for the ideas.

I think the reason people don't use a lot of woods is because the way they grow only provides for smaller pieces of lumber. I personally, like to use Crape Myrtle. I think my peach tree out back got hit by lightning. If it doesn't make it, I'll be glad to see what it's got under the bark.

Pretty cool and creative Steve. Really funny video. Love your channel.

Beautiful work my man !! SUBSCRIBED !!

hahaha thx to this video i actually did make the bandsaw box and the candle holder from a very nice purpleish wood from a plum tree thx for the ideas steve!
