Clever sanding jig!

[@MFunkibut]

Since you're 'jigged up' and ready to go maybe a Donkey Kong pic should hang beside it?

[@IRSculpts]

I, by trade, am a machinist who turned to 3D Printing as a maker. However, I love, love, LOVE your videos and feel inspired every time I watch you make something to just get into my CAD program and design!!! Thank you for making this community amazing and welcoming!

[@MakeSomething]

+Let's Print It! Right on! Thanks!

[@IRSculpts]

Make Something heck yeah, man!!! Hey, if you ever want to collab or need anything that involves 3D printing, let me know Keep on being awesome!

[@ArthurCheesebag84]

The freeze frame with the fly down made me laugh. Nice project also.

[@matthewward5849]

This is probably one of the only projects that you did that I'm gonna do. My son will love this!

[@LutherBuilds]

I clicked on the link for the plans for this and it said I don't have access to this project. So glad you didn't choose the CNC and laser engraver to make this project so people have nothing to complain about. ;)

[@stovex0r]

I've always wanted to do something like this (probably for Link rather than Mario) but wasn't sure how to chamfer such small pieces. What a great idea for a jig!

[@donfinch862]

You have become quite professional over time, and your enthusiasm is boundless - you are lucky to be doing something you love - and be successful. With all that you have not become boring. (others have to me - not mentioning names) Your art and woodworking are a good combination. Oh, hats off to Mario :)

[@christianwilson6690]

Love the beveled edges on the individual little squares

[@fernandoizelli7598]

Can I like this video 100 times?! The 8-bit soundtrack was INSANE btw!

[@MrFvasconcellos]

Awesome all around, David! And I love the splines on the frame-such a nice touch!

[@jaredstarnes6668]

One of many GREAT projects and this one is my favorite. You must be a centering wizard...I would have messed that up for sure.

[@SpareroomWoodworking]

The sander sled is pretty slick!

[@HappyAtom]

Really diggin it David! Love the project and the Nelson. Nice idea on the Fan&Filter. I'm going to get one right away.

[@andyandnancy]

Very very cool! I love the use of the three woods. I built an 8 bit pixel Luigi last year out of a 2x4, and ever since have wanted to make a raccoon Mario. But sanding the almost 400 pixels has kept it in the notebook, instead of on my workbench.

[@ConstructIcon]

Awesome project & sanding jig!

[@JonesyNorthmen]

I think this is my favorite video of yours so far. Its an awesome project and I got a few great chuckles along the way

[@ashschannel5024]

Awesome job David, it turned out lovely! I really liked your mechanism for putting the chamfer on the tiles too, ingenious!

[@fiveletters]

The sander sled is a great solution! Thanks!

[@Gantorin]

I'm making a sketch book for my nephew, and was having trouble picking a mario design (old or new)... but this settled it in my mind. Old school it is. Nice work!

[@MakeSomething]

Thank you!

[@LarsSveen]

I love your energy and attitude. You might be my favorite youtube maker. PS: a blue background would have really made Mario pop, and kind of look like the SMB background.

[@shaunsingleton1365]

Cool project. Mario coming out of a pixel green tube would have looked sweet

[@z1da]

music is like bang on. very cool project idea

[@tonyja661]

Thats great, I am amazed you never glued your fingers together with that ca! props to you on that alone, Mario looks cool

[@randyallaway4085]

Man, that is super dope. Thanks, David!

[@randthor9344]

Ditto, very awesome project. One of my favorite channels on youtube

[@stevejames2142]

Fun project David.. very nice!

[@enelgaragedemartincho]

That looks awesome David. Great job like always

[@TheMrAshley2010]

Boy that activator really did speed up the process. I gotta say I was surprised how fast it made your hands move!

[@RussellsWoodShed]

Very cool piece. Great work

[@motzemog]

So good! This should be an entire art installation. Next would be a coin block and then a fire power flower block. Do it! And the music was killer(a).

[@MakerProjectLab]

Great idea with the sanding jig!

[@iDeviceChgr]

Love it! Nice build David!

[@gmor46]

Awesome idea! My son loves Mario....well, me too... I guess I know what I'll be making soon! Thanks for sharing man!

[@opasworkshop8373]

great job David it looks like a lot of fun at least you looked like you were having a lot of fun keep up the good work my friend.

[@anonymousfigure37]

Great chiptune music! Your videos keep getting better :) it's clear you're having fun. Clever disc sander jig!

[@mihumus]

Really nice work David, love it!

[@copperhead228]

That sanding trick to make the bevels is genius. The zipper bit/ joke was really funny too. HaHa! :D

[@michaelking9758]

Love me some Mario and you nailed it on this project!!

[@tho33mas]

I like the trivia you put in, nice touch

[@jameskelly191]

I've been thinking about something very similar for a while, love your approach!

[@BryanEshbaugh]

Fantastic piece of art sir

[@MortyGG]

This is awesome Dave!

[@fernandocabette6050]

I love the fact every pixel isn't perfectly square to each other...at the same time it tingles a bit knowing they are not aligned. haha

[@ottdavidn]

Really cool! Do hope the glossy coat helps the colors stand out better.

[@dustmanmoe9250]

Super nice! Music is on point also!

[@whiskeylung]

Love the music awesome video keep cranking them out

[@jcmakes5977]

Double thumbs up! Great design.

[@BruceAUlrich]

This turned out great! I loved the facts about Mario.

[@Geeksmithing]

Technically his name wasn't Mario when he first appeared in Donkey Kong, but I'll let it slide :P

[@mikel9567]

Geeksmithing...true, but do you know what his original name was - even before he was known as Jumpman

[@reforzar]

Love this project!

[@RedSmith]

That's such a cool project. Design and build are very nice. We need you to make more geeky stuff !

[@MakeSomething]

Thanks!

[@blindabraxas]

I like this idea. I think it suggests some interesting projects to me. Thanks.

[@davidpinkham4216]

Project ideas: collapsible dice tower, wooden 3D version of Settlers of Catan, marble run, puzzle box, anything Star Wars!

[@irvingvillanueva6861]

Super awesome! keep up the amazing work.

[@theClosetgrower420]

I think when you glued down the pixels you could have taped down a straight edge to register each row of pixels when you glue them. It wouldn't take much longer, just use the first and last pixel from left to right to register your straight edge. Put some pressure on it squeezing on the set up pixels a little and then just tape down the framing square or whatever straight edge you use. After you glue down that row then just move the straight edge and repeat. That will help keep the horizontal lines of the picture pretty straight, vertical lines do not have to be as perfect because of how we see horizon lines. When looking straight ahead our eyes will see imperfections in horizontal lines better than vertical lines. If our eyes were stacked one above the other then...

[@CheveeDodd]

Was that sander sled an original idea? It's pretty friggin genius!

[@SQLKC]

Much better project this week, think you sir

[@hecubus]

that was pretty brilliant to use a stop on the sander.

[@GerryBraatz]

I just started to make this... I'm so sad. As always yours turned out great and I can't be mad at another gamer/wood worker. keep up the good work.

[@AndrewJonesWoodDesigns]

Zamm, loving the energy!

[@Stu_Louden]

Awesome project and video editing!!!

[@MakeSomething]

Thanks Stu!

[@sgsax]

Loved your solution for making those chamfers. Bet they still took forever, though. :) Great choice of woods for the different colors. Just enough contrast to pop.

[@Zahtoots]

i love it David!

[@Alexvanleeuwen1979]

you are one talented carpenter i must say. Salud to you.

[@KaiCrafted]

You never fail to entertain, especially with the old school music references. Did you consider laying out the pixels and spraying them with glue all at once (followed by setting the ply on)?

[@sodacann]

2:03 back at it again with the "scrap mahogany 😂😂 great project man

[@JDB-channel]

Great build! Really enjoyed the video and the music was awesome! will definately take a look at more your friends music.

[@kylelangford5189]

Love this! have been planning a similar project myself but with painted pieces. I love how you added the chamfer to the pieces. I will be stealing/borrowing the idea for my project.

[@MakeSomething]

Borrow away! Thanks!

[@kylelangford5189]

Can you put up a quick tutorial on making the jig you used for sanding the bevel

[@ToxicFlies13]

Awesome video music was spot on perfect!!!

[@rochat]

I did an 8 bit end grain board just like this. Very tedious stuff, but worth it in the end. I'll have to do some 8 bit wall art next.

[@LivefreeanddiyTv]

Love it, great work! 🤓 👍🏼

[@rwphotobug]

Great project. All those tiles gave me an idea for a project. How about a coffee table where the top has an inlay of the periodic table of elements (made from CNC'd wood tiles)?

[@antoinza]

Ah I can't wait to make this! Great job, love the channel!

[@MakeSomething]

Thank you!!

[@dubya13207]

I totally want to make a whole series of these...Mario, Link, Samus, maybe Papyrus or Sans, Shovel Knight...maybe more!

[@ramsesreyes4081]

i love this project!!

[@MakeSomething]

I'm going to post the PDF file up on my website (free) later this evening in case you want to make this. Thanks for all the super awesome comments! You guys are the best!

[@CPBuilds]

You're the best....around. Nothing's ever gonna keep you down. #sweeptheleg

[@MakeSomething]

+Chris Parker (CP Builds) now that song is in my head. Thanks.

[@CPBuilds]

I understand but what you need to do it try to believe though the going gets rough that you gotta hang tough to make it. Also history repeats itself so try and you'll succeed. Ok I'm watching this tonight.

[@jamesfoskey2804]

Nice build. Hey here's an idea. Since it's October why not build something for breast cancer awareness. Keep being awesome!!

[@SmallFryCreations]

Awesome project!! I couldn't see the links for the frame video's. It may just be me. Keen to check them out. Love your videos every week!

[@RJBynon]

I dig it! Thinking ill do something similar but but add an extra layer of wood around the "pixels" so it is recessed into the board! verrnicetho!

[@keithketcham5805]

That was awesome! Link from Zelda would look good next to Mario :)

[@douglaswallace8585]

Really like this and I think I'm going to do something similar the one thing I don't like is like around the face where the lighter blocks blend more with the background so I think when I try it I might either paint the background white or paint a scene from sbm 1 world 1-1 like ground sky and clouds but I love this I always say that games is my seat back hobby and woodworking is my get up and do something hobby lol

[@M4ngstergangster]

Simply Awesome

[@hosheaamit3295]

Really cool video I am loving your new stile of videos

[@insley1085]

Awesome! David, Did you have any trouble deciding the background? The only thing, and it may just be the camera, but the lighter "pixels" seem to blend in a bit with the background wood. The gloss will definitely help make Mr. Mario Mario pop. Great video! I want to make one!

[@dasaster7993]

love it dude! I'd like to make that for my cousin.

[@letsmake8166]

Your music sounds more like Mega Man or even Castlevania in some spots. It's making me want to unbox my old NES.

[@Sonal_Mobile]

Hey David, cool project! We made a giant scene similiar to this at my work out of Post-It notes (just as a creative project)

[@Saltycrabs]

Love that music, I have to check out golab.

[@s2pointoh]

dooood...that chamfer jig is so hot...i was trying to think of how i'd do it and your solution is money!

[@66zholt]

What a great video !!👍👍

[@Rabid_Wookie]

"FREEZE FRAME! HA HA!" I laughed way too hard at that :D Great project btw!

[@Woodified]

Super project. You need a mushroom or two on the wall next to Mario.

[@thesepretzels2058]

super awesome though. i love it.

[@alecgrace6468]

would you consider making a small natural edge river table with some sort of epoxy fill or glass inlay?

[@chadlowrance3999]

man that was awesome, had to take hours to chamfer all those squares.

[@discguyjoe]

Awesome project!. I think I would have used a water based poly as to not yellow that maple. I think there would be a better contrast. But other than that awesome!

[@gian3458]

that's a really cool project! that definitely took me back me back from my SNES days :-) personally, I would've used padauk for the red but it would've ruined the earth-tone feel

[@Geeksmithing]

Looks great David! You know I was going to like this one! :D Reminds me of something you showed me once... ;)

[@drewk6714]

Very cool idea. I would have put Mario a little further to the left in the frame and down a bit.

[@relik0fages]

+Make Something It's neat looking, especially where you have it on the wall. Looks like a Mario fireball with the wood knot.

[@anubis33534]

Hey David great project, love the idea I think I will try Link. I will send you pictures if I knock it out this weekend.

[@adamvanderswaagh8983]

This project is awesome! Ever since you mentioned this in a previous video (that you had made one before), I was hoping that you would make a video of it. Do you find it better to put the glue on the squares and the activator on the backer board? Or vice versa? Does it matter?
