Wow...that's fabulous as long as you don't knock yourself in the head with it! We made ours out of tiny evaporated milk cans & rice since we have no woodworking skills.Hat's off to you! Happy early Purim!

[duaneflower]

Good job steve, I can see it now,,, some little kid says, "hey, I want to try it" and proceeds to slap himself in the face with the hardwood piece. Oh well,, I guess that is how we learn.

[mepartolacaja]

I was thinking about Purim too! We read Esther in church for Purim every year. Boy, do we make ton of racket w/ these things everytime M@%$&*@#'s name is read.

[MrRobertson1234]

[entmage]

Get your grog and scare some evil demons.

Sounds like a Pirate Thing to me.

[firemanks098]

Cool project Steve, love it. I am going to have to make one of these myself!

[ScrollsawVideo]

You are obviously an intelligent person......but sometimes I think that you are a little 'off'. How in the h&#$ does your mind come up with these projects? I love your work and ability to communicate.

[stevinmarin]

@ScrollsawVideo Thanks. Hey, my wife has been saying I'm a bit off for over 20 years!

[94guitar08]

@stevinmarin

haha its hard to be a woodworker and not be a little off :))

[Culturedropout]

@ScrollsawVideo - I think it's all those industrial solvents and lacquers in the air in his shop... XD

@stevemarin - How's your health these days? I saw someone mention skin cancer, so I had to go digging back through your older posts to see what was up. At least in this video, you seem to be in good health and good spirits; are you back to (I hesitate to say "normal" considering the videos I've seen, but...) your old self? Loving the videos! Thanks.

[stevinmarin]

@OldSchoolSkill Oh, it is beyond disturbing. My wife has officially banned the rattle from our house.

[mdmccat]

you are just awesome steve!

[7KEDDY7]

OH WOW THAT IS SO NEAT :) I USE TO PLAY WITH THEM BUT ALL THE ONE'S I GOT WERE METAL.

[xaboo]

How many videos of tutorials do you make that you dont end up posting?

[stevinmarin]

@xaboo Strangely, I post everything I shoot and I shoot most of the stuff I make. I just don't shoot stuff I've already done before. (I've made lots of bandsaw boxes since my bandsaw box video.) What I don't post are the many little tests I run before cutting my work pieces.

[RockinGuy1994]

@ 6:48-6:56 He said I put a 1/4 bit into my drill bit. lol

[stevinmarin]

@RockinGuy1994 HA! When I was editing this together, I had to laugh at that. My brain often gets ahead of my mouth. It's a real trick to get a bit inside a bit!

[RockinGuy1994]

@stevinmarin lol. Oh well, we all make mistakes. But its all good. Marry christmas and happy new year!

[Buzzsawman]

where do you get your inspiration for your projects...I mean who else would say to themselves "I am going to make a noise maker?" You have the most unique mind and I mean that in a good way

[stevinmarin]

@Buzzsawman Thanks. Mainly, I just see things I like and try to figure out how to make them myself. I've been on kind of a musical instrument kick lately and have been browsing through books of folk instruments. Plus I am a huge Lewis Carroll fan and remembered the rattle in his novel. Most of the one's I've seen are made out of two pieces with a separate strip sandwiched between them. I wanted to simplify that with a one-piece design.

[zonkozonko]

@stevinmarin Yes we made one of these at school woodwork class circa 1960....something? We used two square blocks instead of the "Cog" and two "Clackers" as you say sandwiched between the frame. These "Rattles were used in the Trenches in the First World War to make noise to scare the enemy and save precious ammunition.

[MegaBookworm25]

Those will be some demonic kids

[dudec007]

man that is ausome but i think you should put some wax on the spining thingy if you know that i mean so it will move smother

[scottie1769]

Another interesting project I will tackle ...Thank you...

[IVOIPSG]

That thing is great!!! I want to make one for my kids so that the en-laws will go home sooner...LOL

[rehnai]
