How to make a Red Herring

[@johnuhl4035]

The amount of effort you put into a joke is astounding

[@ninjamaster224]

Loving the fast forward with dangerous tools in close proximity to hand

[@Vote4Drizzt]

joe chu That box knife scares me more, I've got a good number of scars that say a new blade is a fickle beast.

[@carolynnlohmeyer5394]

I have never seen anyone do woodworking . It was a beautiful fish and I really enjoyed watching you make it.

[@JohnHeisz]

Eye love it!

[@pocket83]

Aye, but there's something creepy about it. I wasn't allowed to hang it in the house.

[@SteveFrenchWoodNStuff]

pocket83 I don't find it creepy at all. It's pretty awesome. Also, I knew the red herring had to have a meaning. After all, it IS a red herring. But I had to watch the video twice to catch it. Well played! And this project is pretty awesome in its own right. It came out very cool. Keep the great videos coming.

[@SteveFrenchWoodNStuff]

Philip Becnel Eye don't know. Hmm, let me see...

[@petergdk]

The eye really makes this pop... Also - lovin' the hand held cutting of the glass ball, 'cause - f*** the safety pastrol :)

[@pocket83]

I didn't do that in spite of the safety extremists. A little wet-saw like mine is about as dangerous as a can-opener. You can touch the blade while it spins, as long as you don't press hard.

[@Linuxdirk]

I love how you totally know what you’re doing - and the little easter eggs you put in your videos :)

[@AdvancePlays]

Hitchhiker's Guide reference?

[@ScottKershawRX]

pocket83 I really liked this project for the projects sake. As an avid fly angler I can see me attempting something like this for wall art or fly tying desk purposes. Also I am slow on the uptake so I don't follow the "pocket-theme" but I will keep trying!

[@Nahtanojrepus]

not only was it your normal amazing craftsmanship, it was also a very amusing idea. liked. also the trick easter egg was hilarious.

[@Danny.._]

darn, i'm 5 years too late to find out what that video was

[@MrMagicBlox]

The fish was good (I especially liked how you gave it depth with the router and how you did the eyes) but the hhgttg reference at the end is what got my like XD

[@hundredhundred-thousand7951]

smart idea using a lathe gouge chisel to make the scales. You're very clever!

[@carpepesci]

I've tried to make sense of this, but I can't. So I'm pretty dumb. Which makes this pretty smart.

[@CryoGenUK]

Thought you were going to say "So long and thanks for all the fish" at the end. :P

[@eternal8song]

that was the red herring ;)

[@ErrorUncertainty]

afraid not, the red herring is him saying that might sound like he's leaving for good, ie. quitting youtube

[@pocket83]

Both wrong. The Red Herring was to distract you from finding the hidden content.

[@CryoGenUK]

I got that, I just thought you were going to say that... it's a fishy Douglas Adams reference, The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy trilogy and all that. Not that I thought that anyone was quitting KZbin.

[@ErrorUncertainty]

pocket83 hmm, now I have to wonder if that's another red herring

[@CharlieWynn]

Amazing job, did you reuse the epoxy footage from the ring puzzle? It seemed familiar ;)

[@pocket83]

Ha! Good eye. I'm allowed a little cheat here and there. Often, these videos take more than 100 files to make, so you can't blame me for cutting small corners.

[@TheBombcontrol]

+pocket83 Do u possibly live near me to teach me?? lol

[@TheBombcontrol]

+Epiciter NC

[@epicfail7042]

That's really good and I really enjoy these wood making projects you do can you please do more thanks!!

[@alpapounet]

très belle réalisation avec de plus un sens du détail professionnel

[@IMPRACTICAL-pv9st]

i really like the easter egg type things in your videos

[@apiraino445]

Glad you threw us a "red herring." They always work:-)

[@IJBLondon]

Thanks for all your videos - I really enjoy following your creativity and skills and looking forward to the next project. :-)

[@pocket83]

Thanks! I'm uploading it right now. Gimme 1/2 hour.

[@The1wsx10]

5:56 the force is strong in this marble

[@felixthecrazy]

Something fishy about this video.

[@massoudmakes]

Eye popping workmanship

[@Doesrobotinyourface]

If I could, I'd give you 2 likes. One for the project. One for the Douglas Adams reference.

[@pocket83]

You could give me two likes... _if_ you figure out what you missed ;)

[@aarin103197]

how long did it take for you to become so experienced with working with wood?

[@sweetheartsoap7161]

I came into this video thinking the total was a red herring so I was shocked at the red herring printout Now that's a real red herring

[@pocket83]

That's one way to look at it. The other way is to realize that the entire thing is a farce made to distract you from finding the hidden video.

[@ArseniySorokin]

Every time I open your new video, i ask myself - what will be this time? hidden frame, background easter egg or maybe some sound morse code? :) Your channel is just awesome :)

[@Xomby]

Did the addition of the glass eye "after" you cut out the hanger slots affect the balance, or was it negligible?

[@pocket83]

Wow, you're good. I actually did consider that, but then I thought to myself: _you're making a Red Herring_. I decided to let it go. It's off a little.

[@joshclark6188]

I give it 42 thumbs up

[@harryalbertomosqueravallej2111]

Lo felicito, quisiera tener más obras de usted. Exitos.

[@InfamousDoktorJackal]

Very nice project. If I was you I would have filmed the video with a... fisheye lens. Hehehe

[@devilswoodshop9198]

“Difficult to see. Always in motion is the future..”

[@FrankSandqvist]

DiResta style! Awesome! :D

[@pocket83]

That's right, we were talking about that before. There were lots of tedious parts to this one, so it seemed appropriate. One thing I will say about that edit style: it is the easiest and most efficient way to get a result that is fun to watch. It made the editing much less stressful. I will be doing it more often, instead of just showing a second of the tedious parts.

[@FrankSandqvist]

Basically a win-win :) Looking forward to future vids!

[@adamcowan391]

Haha! You know what, come to think of it, theres a likely chance thats why it was in my 'what to watch' collection, i just really admired the finish he got on it, it really gave a sort of POP! Effect :p do you know when your next video will be up? I cant wait for whatever you have to show

[@pocket83]

Me? I will probably start filming again in a week. I have a pile of vids that I would like to get to.

[@mistermaster224]

pocket83 what is the tool you used at 4:35 ?

[@SavvasPapasavva]

great eye!

[@tbvb32013]

When I saw the title of this video I laughed and knew I had to watch it.

[@travismaenle9416]

shouldnt the burns have gone the other way on the gills?

[@Islwyn37]

I link this video on facebook arguments when people keep throwing around red herrings.

[@zahara5681]

so I don't understand the Hitchhiker's Guide reference other than the "So long, and thanks for all the fish" thing. anyone care to tell?

[@topschnarf8430]

What's the tool used to put the brownish marks called on the surface and how does it work? Please.

[@robinrai4973]

I think that's just a soldering iron with a chisel tip to burn the wood.

[@topschnarf8430]

+Robin Rai Thanks, man

[@MrCinnamonWhale]

That was really good

[@lavaking]

Holy shit, 5:00 was unbelievably frightening to me. Your fingers are braver than mine.

[@AntiGooseAction]

If this for chopping down the mightiest tree in the forest?

[@nobodyimportant2494]

I wanna hang one up as a pool sign, but I'm terrible at woodwork. lol

[@hamidbahri6548]

and thanks for the egg it was really marbleus!

[@pofrani]

aww that youtube link for resumes does not exist!!! :o(

[@Fubzo]

That slo-mo effect seemed really weird

[@PapaGarrus]

Everything makes sense now

[@evren.builds]

6:22 Do those bits have a special name?

[@pocket83]

Keyhole.

[@adamcowan391]

Dude you are an amazing craftsman, please could you check out this guys video. His channel name is 'Thomas Anton', i do not know him and am not advertising because i was asked. I would just like you to see his 3D 'tumbling' effect saw board (i think thats close to what the video is called). I'm sure this would be a stupidly easy project for you but if you would take it into consideration, i would LOVE to see how you could apply this effect to some of your later projects. Thanks, if you read this far!

[@pocket83]

Thank you, and yes, I am familiar with him. I agree, he does some nice work. We have watched each other's videos from time to time, and have exchanged comments a few times. KZbin is kinda a small pond.

[@MmANCZ]

Cool! I love that eye!

[@MrStudio1994]

another great vid

[@codalite]

If without speeding up how much time did you spent?

[@pocket83]

Not very long. Filming/lighting and waiting for stuff to dry are the tedious parts. This was impromptu and made very quickly.

[@codalite]

Okey cool. Is that your job to make awesome wooden stuff?

[@thatwhatuwishshesaid]

Awesome!!!

[@sinom]

Yeah you can't find the hidden Videocon mobile can you...

[@Willy-ci2lu]

you are the best

[@maniacpwnageking]

HE MADE A REFERENCE.

[@johnathonsmith167]

Hello Harry: The Message is "Yes I genuinely redirected you to a Red Herring Building video because I couldn't find a video of an actual Red Herring".

[@QuirkyView]

3:00 sounds like a miniature dolphin XD

[@marcosbarreto9336]

A glass eye or a severed finger

[@purelife6846]

Broke your rule! Never use a chisel on camera!

[@IMPRACTICAL-pv9st]

3:50 found that piece of knolegde

[@efbpdx4556]

Pocket!

[@thomaszeigler9894]

you are good

[@Logic_829]

Your welcome

[@kadebrown6162]

5:48 not the eye!!!!!!!

[@JessicaMaggieful]

Why...

[@MsPluto11]

LIKE your videos, sub+

[@felixdietzCGN]

i like the pyrography :-)

[@williamwakely1398]

Hmm... Something about this is fishy.

[@redhorizon7225]

just figure out how it works now, lolllll

[@jadedlion1001]

eye see you

[@ChrisCreatesGames]

Wt the I thought this was cooking

[@Randomboy2002]

Lol

[@imboss479]

There is something very off about this video...

[@Luke14616]

Haha literary jokes lol

[@johnabernethy5736]

This project was a complete distraction, diverting my attention from other more important... Never mind.
