Good Job on the piggy bank. I had a Cpt in the Army who always said it would Behoove you. Now I see what he was talking about pigs feet.

[@BobDaniel]

something something BACON!!

[@antonelloperri2510]

I watch all your videos and I can't wait to Friday, but I watch your program on Saturday morning.....you are great

[@DennisPadul]

Paint the pig green. Then make some birds and paint them red, yellow, blue, black, white and green. Put some sling shots, crates and eggs, too. Now that would make an ultimate child's gift!

Got to do two of these for grand daughters, Have one assembled and ready for paint. Per wife, I will be doing a few more...I must be on a friends and family plan of some sort.

[@davidharris8171]

Where are all the paint haters? Nice project Steve.

[@SteveCarmichael]

Nice project Steve! I need one of those without the hole in the bottom. Also, I love pigs...they taste good. lol

[@JayBates]

Very cool. I like this one a lot.

[@TheMrWoodsman]

Like the piggy music Steve!

[@Fred19Flintstone]

I like this project and I think my 5 year old daughter will like it. I'm going to try using a pipe cleaner for the tail. I've only recently found your channel, but I've seen enough to know people like to say "I dislike the music on your video." Just wanted you to know I liked the music.

[@dnngskn62]

Great little project Steve. Just made a bank for the wife out of cedar to look like a rustic cabin. The rubber plug is all I had to buy. Keep the vids coming.

[@JohnBare747]

Ah, the Dearly Behooved of Subscription.

[@Woodentoolcompany2]

Here piggy piggy piggy lol. Cute project. I like it.

[@diylove5896]

Weird with no beard at all xD Nice piggy Bank!

[@AntiKipKay]

Nice paint job too

[@lainalainalain]

So adorable!

[@1drh2]

Its amazing...who would of thought of that? Interesting and didn't even get the shop dirty...lots of laughs...thanks!!

[@Maxid1]

It's nice to see you've invited the BeHoovers to watch. I spent a Christmas with them one year. I just felt compelled to...

[@mulekickhandmadeguitars8465]

Hey Steve, I slightly changed this design by making the ears all one piece on the piggy's head, instead of separately. So much easier and looks great.

[@big1finger]

Very nice jog as usual, something short and simple so you can go shopping with the wife before Christmas.

[@TheBrotherKnight]

Nice one Steve. I will need an 8x4 sheet to make one of these. My daughter is at University and it will need to be big to help her with fees LOL. Thanks Steve and my very best regards. David

[@ItsTwistaar]

i watch you in my 5th period class everyday. my teacher loves your videos. she loves your giant wood. come see her in north liberty iowa

[@MoseleyHall4946]

Brilliant!! Looks like me!!

[@DawnKasotia]

Super cute project!

[@Boomers_Bud]

Hi Steve, you are right on this being a fun project especially with the kids. I did all the machine work of course but the assembly and painting was up to my little woodworker. Thanks for the plans and for sharing so much. OOhhh ya, let's leave the big words alone for right now..... it confuses the other kids. Thanks man. Derek

[@simplysooom1690]

Awesome couldn't have done it better

[@BackyardWoodworking]

Nice project for the kids Steve. how about a pipe cleaner for the tail.

[@rochdufresne9339]

Looks great my grandfather made something similar for me when I was a kid, for the tail he used an old telephone cord. If you can get your hands on one it may make your pigs tail pop out a little more. Love the projects you do made a few myself. Keep up the great work.

[@johnhope4905]

managed with my crap printer to scale it down to 75%so thanks again for your site and projects I get a lot of joy out of watching your site and ideas of my own

[@frankorona1]

Very nice and fun job, thanks Steve.

[@scottsadventures]

Very nice pig.

[@RJBWoodTurner]

Really nice project Steve. These would make great gifts for new babies.

[@guybaillargeon4161]

Hi Steve I,made 2 piggy banks for my 2 nièces, I will send to you a picture of it... Thanks for your idea and your free plan.

[@janaemyers3527]

Best idea ever!

[@MarceloFreitas70]

Kids have to learn to save money early. Great idea, as usual. Thanks for sharing!

[@Musiccat1145]

I love your shows. I cant wait to get a place where I can start doing woodworking.

[@00dahc]

Perfect pig music

[@beccib7026]

[@timherrmann7066]

Hey Steve--I did these two project Ideas for the kids, two separate Christmases--Treasure Chest box with skull head applique and dome top; train table (made mine from melanine) great work, good luck!

[@kwoktingchan5320]

[@DanielePizzariello]

Simpatico e semplice da realizzare. Bravo.

[@Naccicus]

Ammazza... Ce vole la bottega del falegname per farlo...

[@gastar2000]

Nice. I started one similar to this but it had a plexiglass insert on the front.

[@tallerdearteintegralsergio7404]

[@12Brian12]

[@Shelnovid]

[@pedrozacar]

Assisti ao lado da minha filhinha Manuela e ela também adorou a idéia. Grato pelo seu trabalho e pela disposição de ensinar.

[@dukeali2]

[@carloastone166]

sei bravissimo

[@bigronxxxx]

this is a great project steve

[@johnhope4905]

if anyone scales this down when you cut out the inside leave extra across above the leg area so you have material for the bung to fit in I did not and had to put a piece in on the first one at this size

[@hquon]

Awesome! Loved this project. Thanks Steve!

[@opheliaye-germond153]

Hi is your daughter Brianne Ramsey because then I know her she goes to my school and was in my class last year!

[@bryantmeaney2239]

Awsome i love building things with wood

[@oficinamaolivre]

Aprendo e me divirto com seus vídeos. thanks.

[@TomConstantly]

Is that a pic of David Hasselhoff in the background?!

[@eddieruiz8106]

thanks steve for the great idea.

[@blackeagle2314]

Adorable Steve! i love it!

[@MichaelKeeter]

Love the project, and might have to do one. I would have to put the outlet just under the tail though... lol

[@STEVEBLACKA]

Great stuff as usual Steve ...thanks

[@aoestarreicha]

WWMM at its best!!!! Super Steve! Love it :)

[@keyworth166]

Amazing as usual

[@solesearched]

Absolutely adorable! I now want bacon :)

[@LewisWells-1]

Like this!

[@SuperDavidBrothers]

I love how you said both "Now I can get started on the pig's face" and "Now I can start to glue the head on". It sounds like something torturous you would say to someone which sounds pretty freaking funny "I'm going to glue your head on man" or "I'm going to glue your face on man" lol!!!!

[@rudolfzaris675]

This is nice project. I will make it for my two juniors :-), but I must tell you one " thought" i got from my friend through email: Do you remember the time when you got a nice ceramic piggy bank? That was the point where you have learned to give money to pigs..:-) It is joke, but sometimes truth :-)

[@cartoon80s90s]

This is awesome as a gift for a child. Now do a Cthulhu one for an adult. Tentacle time.

[@mulekickhandmadeguitars8465]

I made this piggy bank and it turned out great, but I'm having trouble finding the plastic closure plug at any of the hardware stores and home centers in my area. Can you help? Need suggestions.

[@krtwood]

I might actually build this one. Have you tested that grommet with the weight of actual coins in the bank?

[@jeremyd1522]

nice hair style!

[@Tylerl128]

wow nice paintjob lol seriously everytime i try to paint wood it ends up looking like junk :P (i suck at painting) so i might have to just do the body section alone and just stain it otherwise i might ruin mine :P

[@dusta_boi]

unless that bank is filled with hundreds your son isn't going anywhere

[@rubentiangson4655]

Oh its amazing! Love it !

[@tlonowski]

Genialne!!!!! (Ingenious !!!!!)

[@willsworkshop3712]

Do u think I could do this on a scroll saw I don't have a very small blade for my bandsaw??i like this I think I will try it

[@khanhnguyentran4509]

Cool

[@1andonlylynda]

Have made heart banks never tried a pig. I do a lot of kids toys as well. good pig though.

[@johnhope4905]

just built one for my wife and she loves it thanks Steve for the plans would have been if the pattern could be cut out of a 6 inch wide board any chance of scaling down please

[@MrRazac]

Nice idea...I'll give it a go and see how it goes. Keep up the good work...and Merry Christmas. :)

[@michaelhudak9695]

Another super awesome project Steve! :)

[@ledal99]

I remember this song ....

[@alexanderdall7560]

hey steve love your videos. your videos are really the best woodworking videos on youtube in my opinion :-) really proffesional quality actually. love the piggybank, definently gonna try it out! :-D

[@plumborockx18]

Hi, I was wondering if you could make a stock car.

[@GeraldJensen]

Great project ... looks like my new grandson will be getting one of these! BTW ... what happened to the moustache? Not used to clean-shaven Steve!
