THIS IS AWESOME!!!!! Not useless. Buying a new calendar every new year is useless....

[@williamellis8993]

You may say it's worthless but it was a fun project. That's what woodworking is all about.

[@CoryGunterSmith]

Finally, an old school wwmm project video. Thank you.

[@milo2547]

I watched a video a while ago that says perfect gift and it ended up me wasting 10mins of my wasted life to watch it...then there's this guy saying this is useless setting things low and less expectation.l like how this guy is humble.

[@fugithegreat]

My mind is blown just by the concept of this! The only thing it needs now is a rollable month plate and you're set for life.

[@ehudgavron9086]

Great tip on finding cheap glass, and how to work with it! Also loved the commentary on the usefulness of it :) E P.S. Matthias would probably have added a gear to move the frame, another gear to indicate month, another gear to indicate year, and a button to push on leap years ;)

[@bruceregittko7068]

Another place to get cheap glass that may be bigger than dollar store glass is thrift stores. I buy a beat up framed piece of art and usually toss the frame and art just to get the glass.

[@nicktopinoplus8393]

After you lay vinyl like that, spray some window cleaner or even alcohol on the transfer tape and it will release much easier.

[@DFSqu]

Love the opening sales pitch.

[@varinatannis4853]

This is a must try for this Maker Mom.

[@SE45CX]

I love how you honestly starting off with all the drawbacks of your project.

[@beaverx37]

When you're applying vinyl, use your squeegee on the sticker before you pull it off the backer. It helps pick up those that were left behind. And if you pull slow, you can see if one is getting missed and pick it up.

[@WoodworkingBrewer]

Steve a quick trick for peeling onto glass is use watered down solution of washing up liquid, it makes it easier trying to get everything in line. then either leave to dry and clean up after or use hair dryer and clean up after.

[@lescarneiro]

You got me with this reference at 3:39, haha!

[@vincentxiao601]

Oh man. I haven visit ur videos for almost 2 years, u seems to look younger and more styolo by the day!

[@lufferov]

An idea to enhance this would be to make a template of the numbers, then etch them into a glass panel. Then if you used a strip of LED tape in the base, you'd get a really nice lighting effect on the numbers!

[@fredstarkey3425]

Just about to say the same

[@SteveRamsey]

That would look amazing!

[@markmccaw4401]

Cool idea. Make a video on it!

[@lufferov]

@@markmccaw4401 Ha! I'm just an ideas man, similar things have been done before. You can find lots of videos on KZbin showing you how to etch and then light glass.

It feels like yesterday. 😢 Now he's 22!

@@SteveRamsey 22!? He just started college, like...oh, a few years ago.

[@kmcclinton71]

I had a project that was similar to this where I needed numbers on glass. I used vinyl dame as you, except I used a sand blast cabinet to hit all of the glass around the numbers to frost the glass. Pulled the vinyl off and it looked amazing!

[@JoelWommack]

Missed your Videos. Thanks for sharing!

I've had great success with laserjet transfers. No bleed

[@jeffersonchocron]

Another cool project!!

[@chemcody5119]

Nice to see you making a projects again Steve. I have missed your weekly projects.

[@Dubs2]

If it's like the vinyl I use (here in Australia), the grey back is most likely blockout for when you adhere to something dark or over the top of something else, or if it has small dots on the grey side, these are to promote a bubble free adhesion when applied. Something small like your numbers wont really have any issues with bubbles. Great job!

[@MrMarkpeggy]

It is always good to see you back in your shop Steve! That is a cool calendar. Happy Birthday to Wyatt!

[@forestlampcraft472]

Great idea!

Thank you, Sir,😇

[@rivernet62]

Maybe a legend across the bottom indexing year & month position, could be a 10-year calendar at least

[@DryLog420]

I reacently bought a cheap cnc from good ol' China, and I really like this project as the engraving could be made onto plexi/acrylic and the base could have an L.E.D. strip inside giving a great effect. Thanks for sharing man!

Great project.

You're the man Steve!👍👍

[@jedtimmer8639]

[@MrTarfu]

Thanks for providing the plans, I do glass engraving and woodworking so this will be a nice way to incorporate both into a project.

[@SteveRamsey]

This would look so awesome with engraved glass!

[@ryanbutler3216]

hands down the best intro you've ever done

[@Disjointedimages]

I'd like to do this with a negative vinyl and some glass etch and then rub n buff some silver. I think it's a lovely decorative calendar for a home office. Thanks for the vid!

[@fatherandsonwoodshop8353]

Awesome project!...you always give such clear instructions and make your videos easy to follow!

[@SteveRamsey]

Keep up the great work and humour young man, it's the reason I watch you

[@NJEsperantist]

Small stick-on numerals can also be found in the scrapbooking section of craft stores.

[@rolandgdean]

!!!!YOU CAN MAKE IT WORK!!!! Just needs one more row of month stickers (along the top or bottom) and a corresponding hole in the frame so that when the current month is aligned with the hole, the frame sits around the corresponding number set. You'd have to change it every year but still.

[@SteveRamsey]

😂 lol...well I guess that's one way!

[@jaenulton9953]

Haircut looks great Steve! Thanks for the video.

This is an awesome mere mortals project. Simple, creative, and useful (especially for luddites). If you don't want to make a calendar, maybe make a picture holder. I always appreciate your videos and your no-nonsense approach. Thanks!

Man...... You're legend

[@grandolddrummer]

I have a CNC that's been itching for project ideas. Too cold here in Iowa to work right now. But this is a good one to try.

[@teekaypew6538]

If you hit the vinyl after it’s applied with some warm air from a hair dryer, it will soften the adhesive just enough that it will grab the surface better. This will help prevent it from peeling off down the road. Also, if you’re working with vinyl and glass, there exist some glass etching compound that is pretty need. Basically you just use the vinyl as a mask for the glass etching compound.

[@TallerSalvatoreJimeno]

Me gustó mucho el video amigo quedo elegante el calendario saludos

[@SQLRYAN]

Cool project, Steve. Also nice to see you back making "regular" project videos.

[@naarbin]

Very neat and usefull item 😂 Keep 'em commin' !

[@Rick_Bagnall]

Good project! By the way, I have used those plastic credit card offer cards that you get from junk mail as a burnisher for applying self-adhesive things. round the edge with sandpaper or a file (sometimes you don't even need to) ans you're good to go! They're free and if I ruin it it doesn't bother me.

[@SteveRamsey]

Good suggestion!

[@matthewcondon1985]

You could also have the print shop weed out the individual numbers leaving a stencil behind. Then you could do something like a chemical etching on the glass. That would look cool too!

[@Dingbat217]

That's a great idea, thanks for sharing it. :-)

[@pierrec1590]

One could also take two sheet of glass, and sandwich the numbers. Also, if you engraved the numbers on the glass using a Laser cutter (set it to low power) then a LED in the base would make the numbers glow in the dark... Woohoo!

[@SuperDavidBrothers]

Can you please do videos where you talk about the different types of clamps, router bits, drills, cuts (like rough cuts, rip cuts, crosscuts, dado cuts, etc.), and jigs double please?

[@SuperDavidBrothers]

You should make an abacus out of wood (particularly either Cherry or Pine), and then for the beads, you could just either go to the store and buy some beads, or save some money by making your own beads out of wood and then paint them the same colors as an abacus (like red, yellow, green, and blue).

[@Wolf-E-Romeo]

Stumbled on your video, not sure who you are, but hey, awesome video!

[@alexd5028]

This looks neat! My idea: if you would heighten the wooden frame a bit, you could add a gap in the middle with a rotating dodecagonal parallelepiped having each month written on a face.

[@garynagle3093]

For a useless calendar, I like it!

[@jerryebner7582]

What about some kind of Velcro strip with the months on the back so you switch it on the front as needed or something like that ?

[@kenk8215]

Nice Better Call Saul reference!

[@paramoose]

Wait!!! No Micro-jig plug????? One of the best things about your videos Steve!! Hope it doesn't mean you lost them as a sponsor or something. I love the project and it is one my father would have delighted in as the mathematician in him loved numerical exercises like that. Also the woodworker in him would have enjoyed replicating the project. Thank you for all the inspiration, laughs and education!

[@SteveRamsey]

Glad you enjoyed my video. Thanks! haven't done a Microjig spot in about a year. I am eliminating all brand sponsorships to focus on plugging my own products.

[@SilenceDogood76]

Great project. Another option if you didn't want to use vinyl letters would be to use glass etcher on either the negative or positive of that image, leaving either frosted letters or clear letters with a frosted background. I would reverse the letters and etch the back if I were to do it that way.

[@marcbuteau6122]

and add a LED light

Our local bank has one of these on the counter at the teller's window. Everyone (myself included) always asks the teller what day it is when writing a check or deposit slip. I'm sure it saves them money not to have to reorder paper desk calendars.
