2011 Mere Mortals year-end wrap-up

[TsakirisAlexandros]

You sir are making awesome videos!

[nclmartins]

Thank you for your videos . I am from Brazil and I like very much seeing them!

[benthesheep24]

Great video, nice end to 2011. I love watching your videos, they are great every time!

[therccarmad]

the only reason im top in my class in woodwork clas is that i listen to all of your tips tnks

[christoyocar]

Looks like a real beautiful block of cedar! If i would have made it the grain would have matched all the way around before i destroyed it next year... cant wait to watch though! Good work man, i'm gonna check out more of the vids and maybe even make some of my own one of these days... when i quit working and have time. Ha, i kid!

[gartwilliams16]

hay, you did that capsule three years ago and said I WOOD have HOPE. maybe the Broncos will beat Pittsburgh.

I hope you didn't take that CHARGER emblem off the blue '69....no, it was a CHALLENGER.

i love the smell of regular leaded anytime.

[stevinmarin]

@gartwilliams16 Hey man...that is the emblem from THE Chrager! Wow...good times spent in it.

[frogsoda]

Keep track of how many times you are asked whose ashes are in the box.

[woodworkerman123]

Great video, The item looks kind of like the red angry bird.

[Ticky66MN]

How fun Steve, I can't wait to see next years video. Thanks for bringing woodworking to a level so that most people can enjoy it! I'm introducing my 2 year old daughter to it already.

[TheWoodWorkingPilot]

What wood is the box made from?

[Maxid1]

Legos

[mahmodkasem]

If this does not work remove the letter ( u ) from my name and try again

[mahmodkasem]

I have tried to email it to I do not work with me every time I thought it was better to it through Facebook .. Try Mahmoud Kasem .. In order that the easiest thing you changed my image on my profile in Facebook to your image .. Rocked the show for only two days .. Ha ha

[hikaruuiokai]

happy new year steve!!

[shattdbb]

Hey Steve I have been wondering how I could keep rust off some tools in a shed-like workshop?

[WestOCHD2006]

Where's 2010 's time capsule ???

[reddundun]

Nice work Grandpa hahaha!

[robbiethewood]

HI Steve it looks like you had a happy new ear this ear I hope this ear is happier than the last ear

Take care

Robbie 

[Cozzmos]

Really? I thought the guy who asked you if you wanted to touch his butt becuase he had $8 worth the quarters up there would have been the most disturbing comment.

[Av3rnus]

Thanks for the great videos this year! My girlfriend and I watched this together and thought that you could pass for an awesome wood woorking grandpa'!

[stevinmarin]

@Av3rnus You're just being evil.

[duaneflower]

I always enjoy your videos steve,, AND I too want to make a prediction for next year, Here goes, Unless you measured the thickness of your "time Capsule" I predict that your prediction list will be cut in pieces as well as a few of the objects.  I sure hope i am wrong. Duane Flower

[stevinmarin]

@duaneflower I know...I thought about that...gotta be careful.

[OllyPJ]

Great idea for an end of year project!

Happy New Year, Steve!

[mahmodkasem]

Hi Steve \ I do not know how to send you pictures my work as I wanted you to have that focus in the dictionary I deal when I try to talk with you and therefore I do not have a great ability to deal with the Internet .. No video documentation of my work However, I think just a picture .. Please send a link added to any email I can send you pictures of the attic I can not be easily detected from the message echoed by my comment on the first

[stevinmarin]

@mahmodkasem I can be reached at zrammedia (at) gmail (dot)com

[x775xNERD]

would it be wired if i said i love you? ohh well who cares you are amazing!!! check out what i made in my woodworking class at school. go to my channel the videos name is "ukulele (coconut)"

[redoubt743]

What sort of timber did you make the box out of? It looks like Cyprus Pine

Steve

[stevinmarin]

@redoubt743 It's red cedar...and smells great.

[Jables4968]

Thanks for finally using your lathe! I asked you about it a little bit ago on FB... Lol

[shattdbb]

Hey wait a minute... Isn't the world suppose to end in 2012, u should open the box now! (or we may be in suspense wile the world ends)

[stevinmarin]

@shattdbb Wow...you already guessed one of my predictions. It damn well better not end before I open that box!

[thejasonalex1]

@stevinmarin Steve...why would you still be working off donations, while I have offered to purchase many many wood work items from you? You would not need donations if you would contact me.

[madmike4427]

@shattdbb my thoughts throughout the entire video. :P

[shattdbb]

U look like house (40,001 now) lol

[kaisaerpren]

thank you

[djayscha]

Thanks for the fun, Steve! I love the new lighting! Make you look younger....no really.

[MrLeonard55]

Legos in the box?

[MrLeonard55]

Legos in the box?

[MrLeonard55]

Legos in the box?

[MrCuddleBunnz]

he put minecraft in a time capsule!

[stevinmarin]

@MrCuddleBunnz Nope, Portal.

[axe2see]

Happy newyear grandpa :-p

[decom1885]

totally agree, Woodworking is definitely not restricted to high end cabinet making. I made a jewelry box using cheap slats of timber, a saw and a bit of creativity on my kitchen table. Great to be inspired by such a funny man such as yourself. I'm look forward to some great projects in 2012.

[bogsdolics]

Happy new year gramps,

I am busy making your cook book holder ,might have messed up a little as I had to make 3 slots to hold the bar that holds the books ,anyway

lang mae yer lum reek,

Graeme.

[spilperson]

Happy New Year, Steve! Thanks for the ideas, the education, and the entertainment...Gramps.

[quint150]

You pixelated your time capsule stuff like genitals in a Japanese porn movie. It must be good. Ha. Ha. Ha.

[stevinmarin]

@quint150 A fan of them, I see...



[DawgYankee]

[stevinmarin]

@Buzzsawman it is cedar...and it smells delightful!

[dreamcaster4639]

Happy new year Steve

[pishmishy]

Mark's videos make me aspire to what might be possible for me to achieve, your videos remind me to have fun along that journey :)

[stevinmarin]

@pishmishy Thanks...I think woodworking should be fun. Let's take it back.

[77reddot]

Steve, Your doing a great job! Keep it up.  :-)

[breezebro]

I have to tell people, "I'm not old enough to be a grandpa".

[Gaetantech]

Your videos are really great. Many thanks and hope a really GREAT NEW YEAR for you and your family.

[thewooforfun]

I like to thank you , for all the videos you have been doing, when I find a job that I can send you some things, well when my wife finds on, maybe I will send something you will us, but for now thank you again Sir.

[mahmodkasem]

Sorry Steve I forgot to tell you and others happy Christmas



[mahmodkasem]

Steve My name is Mahmoud from Egypt does not speak English but in order to express my admiration for what you do have dealt with the translation of texts on Google workers as a last resort for me and I think he succeeded .. I have a scrollsaw>> things and make it like some of what I liked and manufactured by only to send greetings and admiration for your business

[stevinmarin]

@mahmodkasem Hi Mahmoud, thanks...Google worked fine! Love to see what you make with that scroll saw!

[artstone535]

[yotamkasam1]

Hi Steve,

Happy new year, thanks for your videos and good luck with 2012 plans. As for building a router table, you may want to visit ninoransenberg . com and look up the unique table presented there with integral dust collector.

[jwheat65]

Great vid as usual! Happy new year!

Keep them coming in 2012. :-)

[tomyjoiner]

Happy new year to all you woodies out there, looking foreward to another year of fun videos, keep it up Steve! Tom from UK

[emilkvicktube]

[sscustoms100]

happy new year steve to you and your family

sam

[68jacen]

Thanx for the videos. I think in 2012 break your 10 min rule. Keep up the good work.

[JustNobodyButME]

Grandparents are getting younger and younger these days :) Thanks for all the fun videos and projects and i am looking forward to next year's. May God bless you and yours abundantly in the new year and keep on woodworking. 

[BeeRich33]

Stain the box, gramps!

[BeeRich33]

Actually your door mat gave me an idea. Could you make a cutting board from blocks of maple, with grooves for drippings, etc? My bamboo cutting board is too hard.

[stevinmarin]

@BeeRich33 I have a cutting board project coming up an a couple weeks!

[fumbimo]

@stevinmarin WHAT KINDA WOODWORKER ARE YOU!!!! WHO PLANS AHEAD!!! lol

[mdmccat]

Thank you so much for all of your videos this year and in the past. I really enjoy your channel and I promise to donate this year. Thanks again gramps.

[Skitch777]

you should put your car keys in there

[Skitch777]

smash it with a sledge hammer

[Yossir1982]

Hola, mi esposa y yo somo de Nicaragua, te hemos estado siguiendo desde abril aproximadamente, no entendemos el ingles pero solo con los videos hemos aprendido mucho de ti, nos dedicamos al calado y tambien hacemos un poco de carpinteria menor. Te deseamos a ti y a tu familia un exitoso y saludable 2012.

[stevinmarin]

@Yossir1982 Gracias usted! Espero que tengas un muy feliz año nuevo, mi amigo.

[MarijnStevens]

The only "fair" use of the censor effect I have ever seen.

[drstampfli]

Steve, Can you schedule your capsule opening to be posted before 12/21/12?! Just in case those Mayans were right.... Thanks!

[stevinmarin]

@drstampfli Damn that popol vuh!



[AguapaTerra]

thumbs up if ur watching this in 2012

[oceannavagator]

Thanks Steve, for all the mirth and merriment. Is there any chance that you put your singing voice in the box?

[funnytourtoise]

If we manage to guess all of the items in the box before 2012 do we win a prize!? ;)

[stevinmarin]

@funnytourtoise Hmmm...well, there are some clues to look out for in my videos in 2012.

[TheGeo46]

@stevinmarin HAPPY NEW YEAR !!

2012 ITS THE END?(OF THE WORLD?)

[MrDefender88]

Thank you for your hard work bringing wood working to us Mere Mortals, you are an inspiration to anyone who has a bit of spare time on there hands and feels like making somthing out of wood. Cheers Steve and all the best for 2021.

Paul in the Isle of Man

[TheBrokemechanic]

I managed to unblur your picture i know whats in the box! muwhahaha

[AguapaTerra]

@TheBrokemechanic

pm me a pic please

[sawdustjohnpa]

Thanks for bringing the fun into woodworking. Too many times it turns into a job and the fun goes away. I can't wait to see what you've got in store for next year. Hope you have a great new year and I don't know if a child could give you a better compliment that to say "I wish I had a grandpa like you". oh, and coming from an old mopar guy i like the Charger emblem on the wall.

[jasonmusic1]

Thats right House is a phony! Steve is were its at! hahaha

[ChampionBass198]

Thanks Steve! I always feel like I can really do this woodworking stuff after watching one of your zany episodes. I really enjoy them..... Happy New Year

[rehnai]

I hate it when people say to someone that they look like a celebrity. It's just rude. It's like, in their eyes, the greatest accomplisement that you could ever do is to look like a celebrity. For those kind of people it wouldn't even matter if you have found the cure for cancer, for them you will always be the guy who looked like X.

Well, anyways that was my 2 cents.

Thank you Steve for all the videos. It seems that you enjoy making them as much as I enjoy watching them.

Cheers from Turkey.

[slurryguy1]

That time capsule box could serve a dual purpose.

Every time you draw blood while working in your shop over the next year, you could put a bloody finger print on the box. At the end of the year you could recount the horrors and remind everyone not to make the same mistakes. Somehow I think Steve can appreciate this type of morbid humor. :)

Thumbs up to wish Steve a safe 2012, at least as far as serious injuries go. A few comedic minor cuts just means he is not slacking off.

[bjgood]

Hi Steve, I live in New Brunswick Canada, and I just love all of the things you make.I have tried many of them, and they turned out Super. Thanks Steve, and have a Super New Year. my e-mail ad. bensongood@msn.com

[Jay2525Jay]

No, Thank You Steve!!! Have a Happy New Year.

[Bobbysmitreshop]

Lego in the box?

[frankorona1]

Thank you very much Steve for all the videos you share.

I wish you a happy new year in the company of your family.

Greetings from Puebla, Mexico.

[lampdeur]

you look a little like a grandpa

nice work and keep going for the next year

[skyhacker6]

We will never know the secret in the box because the apocalypse is predicted for the 21/12/12 !

[deezynar]

I think you meant to say 2012, since 2011 is over.

[ptvanwinden]

Hey Gramps!!! Just want to thank you for all you time and effort that you put into you videos. They are something I look forward too each weekend.

Happy new year and cant wait till you open up your capsual to see what is inside.

[Wilzaza]

Right now I'm half way through my last 2011 project which is a working wooden padlock! I copied the mechanism from a youtube video. I've been tinkering for hours now and FINALLY have the locking mechanism working! Now I just need to make the key and that mechanism.

It's very rewarding when the lock finally clicks! I would recommend it as a really cool project it would make anyone proud to have made! I could send you a design if you like but I would need to work on it a little more :)

[TheNemchy]

Happy New Year, all the best! I love your video of woodworking ... Time capsule is great idea.

Greetings grandpa :) from Serbia (if you ever heard of my country) :D

[TeenWoodworker]

Hey Steve, thanks for the mention, I look forward to your projects next year!

Alex

[marioaleal]

Take it easy, Grandpa. :D As usual, great video, Steve. I wish you the best, buddy!

[wingshooterz]

Happy New Year to you man , hope we all have a good 2012 .

[Norbury53]

Pretty optimistic building a time capsule for the end of 2012, hey! how about building a wooden Mayan calendar?

[jbkibs]

@Norbury53 lol. ;)

[1pcfred]

@Norbury53 That's how I'm going to make my fortune. I hear a lot of Mayans are going to be calendar shopping this year!

[heli400]

I liked your comment on "House" I think you should make a cane and I can't wait to see the video you make to go alone with it. I'd be more excited about the video than the cane project.

[shawneedog1]

I enjoy your videos so much. I really appreciate the enthusiasm for these projects. Keep up the good work.



[filterAfan]

Steve: You are doing a great job in promoting fun woodworking projects. Thank you!

Glad you like the filterAfan . Since I sent you the sample unit I have hung one in my basement shop to help remove dust from the air. I wished I had hung one years ago. If you care to see how I hung it, check out the video on our filterAfan channel on Youtube or on our web site. Keep up the good work Steve! Bret C

[22cjk007]

you are a great inspiration to me you have no idea! i love all your vids keep up the great work!

[ironlionkalo]

thats a hell of a cliff hanger

[Discordanian]

You're putting porn in the time capsule?

[beethoven2208]

how does this freaking old man turns off?

[W4rn1ngy0u]

I'd have nailed the box, then candle wax seal it... :P

[litas555]

2011 is the year when i started wathing your videos. And now, it's a one year when i'm wathing those, and i really like all of your projects.

[TheTricky38]

My first year watching you Steve, thanks for all the videos, lessons and all around refreshing change to the majority of sites that are just anger and negativity! oh and I'm still suppressed you haven't nipped a finger yet:) me neither but I've come close.

[wdworking]

Your dog and pony show has great lighting now I see. I found your video's earlier this year when I first searched on woodworking. My interest has exploded since. Thanks for your effort in the video's and if the economy gets better, I will be donating as well. :)

[martynaskewhotmail]

Thanks for the vids this year. I'm just getting into woodwork through my desire to build an electric guitar. Looking forward to the new router table project! :-)

[HolzMechanikerUSA]

Wait, what!?, Grandpa!? Unless you have gone to the movie theater and received the AARP Discount..... or the Senior Discount at Denny's.... I am only 44 and yes I have received both, THIS YEAR. oy.

Outstanding video.

[firemedic510]

Aren't you going to sign the box? Put a wax seal on it?

[Sodabowski]

Could have been worse if the kid had called you GRANMA ;P

[Ditre]

your hand is getting very steady with the camera, i almost thought you were using a tripod

[Goregoon]

Your videos are like a fine wine, they improve with time!!

I have been following you for some time now and each video shows more and more your great sense of humour and personality. A couple of your videos have even made me blow whatever the hell I was drinking right the hell outa my nose. LoL

Wishing you and your family a great 2012 and I'm looking forward to see what you have in store for us in the coming year.

Happy New Year ☛GRAMPA☚!!!!!

☮

[mrvwspotter]

happy new year to you and all the viewers :-)

[Gnewman1080]

Great way to end the year with a mystery box .. Good idea grandpa !! Can't wait for the new videos to come! Thanks

[IrishWoodDoctor]

I didnt do anything to help you during the year, but you're welcome anyway. Happy New Year !

[monacoguitar]

Keep up the good work, Mr. House! You don´t look like a grandpa. You look like a father... ... to people over 40 years ;-)

Happy new year from Germany!

[maximussalfordus]

Have a great new year Steve all the best
