Making a Set of Overly Complex Coasters

[@chaoticlogic588]

David! I'm only like 6mins into this video and I just have to say...I have no idea what the styling is of your shooting for this but I freaking live it man. It's so dramatic and cool.

[@andydudas2376]

Maybe after reading this comment(before watching the video), I was predisposed to notice this but the audio(voiceover) sounded different. It sounded super clear and natural to me. Maybe it’s the same setup as always but the voiceover stood out to me as well.

[@forby_]

LOVE the style in this one! And the camera work is legit! Damn Daniel ✨

[@MakeSomething]

We thank you Mr Forby!

[@TotalBoat]

What a stunning coaster set!

[@chrisbanks1516]

Your videos keep getting better. That one flew by. Love the coasters!

[@aaronbuchholz2510]

I loved the retro music in your video. But mostly I loved the finished product. Good work! I am planning on making some coasters soon, so this video was timely.

[@SuperiorEtchworx]

The music is really cool. Brings back memories of tubular bells. I have always likes good synth work. Yours is bright,fresh and atmospheric.

[@jimrosson6702]

What a great video the coasters turned out amazing .

[@matthyland1218]

What a visual treat that was

[@masterricon]

I definitely feel the Van Neistat influence in this video, love to see you exploring and having fun with the video format!

[@kevinfager.]

I noticed that too. Nice.

[@ifbridges]

Awesome! Really like how you shot this.

[@reforzar]

I can’t believe I haven’t seen any comments on how amazing the tape dispenser is! Also, I, diggin the vibes this video is puttin off.

[@GetHandsDirty]

I noticed that. I saw it being mentioned recently on an Adam Savage video, which also called my attention. Maybe David saw it too. :)

[@ryanneumann5165]

Loving the style of this video. 👍

[@JNewellworks]

Nice work David! Woodworkers love overkill!

[@ctcummings21]

Love the style. Leaving the sounds (great quality by the way) in with the voice over.

[@Mhakeman]

Dude! This is by far my favorite thing you have done! Excellent use of the CNC!

[@C-Infidel-Archer-78]

was just at kencraft yesterday. love going into their exotic wood area. finally purchased some Paduk

[@Tom-sm3tq]

I love the voice over format ❤

[@kevinallsopp9802]

Great little video, and fab coasters, the white I them, but not filled in totally was great, actually reminded me of little manhole covers.loved them. So nice to have the music, and the long sleeve Tee back too ❤️, Great little track.

[@sgsax]

This was a fun little project, but I'm really enjoying the style you're developing with the video. And I always enjoy your music. Kinda surprised you didnt use the vacuum bag for the glueup. And I know you love the walnut, but I'll take mahogany over it any day. Sloppy pour at the end made me chuckle. Thanks for sharing!

[@JoshWrightWoodworking]

Really nice! I like the new video style

[@koolmoedee10000]

Beautiful work Dave! Love what your doing here. ❤

[@seanbrennan3675]

the format is really cool

[@cpoohbear2004]

I wasn't sure I was going to like the design while you where making it but they turned out so good I fell in love. I absolutely love watching your videos keep making what makes you happy!

[@splinters_66]

They look fantastic 🔥Great that you’re upping the difficulty factor, and not just coasting along 😁

[@karlpopewoodcraft]

Never miss an episode, Always inspired.

[@Matt-je5hn]

Damn. I’d be worried about leaving a ring on the coasters! Those things look badass!

[@zachpygall3063]

Much better style than the last video! Really enjoyed it. The shooting, editing and music are great. Thanks for sharing :)

[@ArtOfShredYT]

I know coasters are illegal, but I'd use these. Beautiful work!

[@MCsCreations]

Beautiful work, Dave! Really well done! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@kyleh6962]

Well done, just an awesome video! Coasters are great, perfect amount of overkill, and the camera work is sublime. Nicely done gents!

[@renaissancewoodworking]

I just made some Mother's Day coasters on my CNC. They came out really nice. :) Love your coasters! Do you need to worry about the algorithm at this point? I just wait for you to post something so I can watch it. 🤣

[@dan.w.hoover2556]

Really cool!

[@philcrannick7383]

I had a lot of fun watching this video

[@kevinmcleod6329]

The vibes, they are good. Keep doing you better than the haters are doing them.

[@naturaIIydifferent]

I don't have a CNC, but I do have a lathe... I think I'm going to use this stacking idea! It's like that Tower of Hanoi game but for coasters... Great idea man!

[@cernunnoskali]

I really enjoy your music, for your videos, well done sir.

[@MachineRight]

The cinematography, the silent space with the story being the focus then adding some music during dead space was very thought out and executed very well! Loved this different version of your story telling very much! Constructive feedback to your brother or you, I would knock up the f-stop just a tad as your focus was very narrow on your shots where you when from out of focus to focused, at times it was a little blurry on some shots even after you pulled focus but letting a little more light in will make it a little more crisp but I'm sure you're already aware. Great video!

[@rftt89]

Everything was sooo cool, the music was really great

[@EagleNestApiaries]

Well, maybe my favorite video of yours. Great job!

[@flavorkingpluto]

I love the new music!

[@robshamel3210]

Roller coaster oooh ooh oooh. 🎉

[@JonathanRansom]

I've already seen this video on Patreon, but it's so good I am going to watch it again.

[@MakeSomething]

🥰

[@TrentSikkema]

music was awesome. could sit and listen for hours.

[@kegtapper09]

Impressive build

[@wieland12]

Best lumber yard ever.

[@dandavis5832]

Monaco jam gives me 1990s Nintendo scroll shooter vibes. Very cool!

[@dandavis5832]

Oh and the coasters are cool too!!

[@moroccanmaker8126]

Just an overkilled video, nice work

[@IMDunn-oy9cd]

Well done. The only improvement that I can see would be dovetailed titanium reinforcement plates.

[@MakeSomething]

Thanks and YES!

[@sureshot311]

F*ck. F*CK. I love these. Wow. Not making the epoxy level with the little circles was an amazing detail. That knocked it out of the park for me. Great work. Thank you for this video.

[@mikedurkee7296]

Hey David, I was completely on board with the entire build (even the commercial) but at 9:46 I almost lost my sh....t - who would waste alcohol like that! Please lie to me and tell me it was bottom shelf rot gut or really weak tea or your special blend of wood spirits... but please oh please don't tell me it was decent whiskey, bourbon, etc. I need to figure out how to do this! So this video may be watched a few dozen times in the very near future :) Be well, and THANK YOU for your time, effort, creativity, and energy!

[@MakeSomething]

It was gifted cherry flavored Jim Beam. It deserved to be spilled. Ain’t no reason to flavor a good whiskey.

[@WesleyTreat]

It's always great to see Dave doin' Dave. It's the best thing for Dave to do. We should all do Dave.

[@MakeSomething]

😁

[@rafezetter8003]

I wonder what his wife would think about us all "doing Dave"?

[@alexsnave]

Unreal content as usual!

[@TheBillPayingHobbyists]

Thank you.

[@APhilly93]

[@sometimesiaskmyself]

Thanks

[@MakeSomething]

thank you!! ❤️

[@FullStackWoodworking]

I like that cups/glasses won't stick to the coasters due to it not being a continuous flat surface, but does it make them hard to clean?

[@jcmakes5977]

Look at you making some nasty sexy coasters! They look awesome! Well done!!

[@mariondorsett]

Great video, but I think you missed an opportunity to for overkill. When the maple veneer failed on the CNC, you could have made the pattern out of maple dowels. You could have made the maple dowels on the lathe, and you could've made a special jig to drill all of the holes on the coaster.... I think you get it... great video.

[@salvatorefanale]

Well hell-fk’n-loooo David! Love to see you be this good. I like that you paid homage to Toths cheetah print motif with your own totally drunken woodworker way. ***Chef’s Kiss***

[@philipeverall6]

David, I’ve been watching and loving your videos since the beginning, so - bravo, great job, vibe, angles, yada yada yada - BUT WHERE DID YOU GET THAT TAPE DISPENSER??? 2:25

[@MakeSomething]

thank you. link to it in the description.

[@b1ackb1u3]

I think you need more clamps on that

[@paulhopkins1905]

Most YTubers use WAY too much glue, I'm pretty sure that wasn't the problem. I think the maple veneer was too thin to glue on without a caul. You would have been better off using the plywood to sandwich the maple instead of gluing it to the mahogany. You were only getting good contact directly under the clamp pads

[@njmcliffe]

Coaster? More like Most-er!

[@Solidfluids]

Will your tunes ever become available on iTunes?

[@MakeSomething]

I hope so. Problem is I never finish my songs. 😁

[@asbrand]

You answered your own question: Obviously NOT enough clamps. ;-)

[@maxcampbell7517]

Won’t some of the condensation fall through the hole?

[@MakeSomething]

We did some scientific measurements and 99.9% of the condensation happens on the outside of the glass.

[@naturaIIydifferent]

​@@MakeSomething And 9 out of 10 experts agree that 75% of cited statistics are made up...😂

[@maxcampbell7517]

Is 99.9% overkill? Love the show!

[@ddutton0]

Do woodworkers love overkill I am still confused 😅

[@patbird9694]

Woodworkers like over kill and point out all their mistakes. Im interested in the psychology behind that.

[@TheBillPayingHobbyists]

And you have the same lathe I do.

[@randsipe224]

Ya Dave, between the time spent, the $$$$$$$ CNC time, segment glue ups and epoxy cure time I don’t think you’re going to break even commercially on these. Oh well probably not the objective and it was fun, right?

[@PR-WoodWorkingCreations]

*Woodworkings Love Overkills!!* 🗜️

[@curtisfort6893]

Nice work. By the way, your tape dispenser is kind-of cheating 🙂 lol

[@MakeSomething]

"A man who wouldn't cheat doesn't want it bad enough" ~ Gus McCrae

[@mhaz49]

Really nice project, David, but PLEASE don't call Sapele Mahogany. It is a remote cousin, but not in the same family.

[@MakeSomething]

Even though it’s not in the mahogany family the wood is still officially called “sapele mahogany”.

[@peterschoemaker9]

It is too many clamps, next time ur better off using cauls on the thin wood so the clamping pressure is evenly distributed.

[@Metaz]

:D

[@Luissanchezisunza]

Different epoxy colors would've been even better.

[@marshallmurrell4583]

AAARRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!! Wasting whiskey............

[@thesplinteredfinger]

Please don’t tell me that you use “real” bourbon at the end of the video and wasted it? I know you picked up the glass and licked it off the table, didn’t you?

[@BeezKneezCarpentry]

Thank you for all of your hard work giving us this content. Your efforts are greatly appreciated!

[@Jevans3141]

You had me at "overly complex".😀

[@ScottHaun]

in the podcast, you mentioned improving a little bit each time but this video took a huge leap. excellent!

[@MakeSomething]

oh man, thank you!

[@JoshBCamp]

Love the new tone you’re experimenting with and the coasters came out beautiful

[@flboy77]

Really good video. I mean the production was great. It reminded me of Van Neistat’s style.

[@brandonwelch8842]

That tape dispenser tho!! I need more info on that thing

[@MileyonDisney]

c o o l

[@Griffinwoodworks]

The only overkill I saw was the electric tape dispenser, but even that’s iffy. 😂

[@sweedenburg]

I can't wait to get one!

[@JamesWelbes]

Did he have to say "woodworkers love overkill" over and over and over again? Probably not, but woodworkers love overkill

[@MMWoodworking]

I was just at Kencraft in Toledo the other day. Great place, but way too easy to spend my entire net worth at.

[@Sebastopolmark]

Nice water effect at the end. I really do like the "little woods" sticking up. Great function AND form! !! !!!

[@garagemonkeysan]

Great film, well produced. The coasters are killer. Mahalo for sharing! :)

[@spencerstreet9663]

Where was the overkill? I was promised overkill... needs more clamps.

[@jimgohyeah]

Hey David. ^%$#^* YEAH!!!! That's a Fkn video! Great sound and feel. Some of the shots and audio really have an almost vintage feel. That one was really well done. Keep going you are absolutely in the artist territory. Really.

[@c.a.g.1977]

So where's the overkill exactly? 😄 The music is just awesome, they give your videos the perfect Picciuto sound

[@MrGerd]

This video is different, content more like old Piccuto although music is fun, shots are different than usual. Nice. Gimme more:)

[@stephenrobb8759]

I saw all those clamps..... cannot click it fast enough !!!!!!

[@choffee]

Really enjoyed the music on this one. Keep doing what you love, it's great! :)

[@peregrine5327]

I'm curious about leaving the "burnt edges" on the feet of the coasters. Did you like it? Did you decide it wouldn't be seen and not worth the effort to sand clean? Not criticizing by the way, just curious about your thought process! If it was me, I would have tried to sand the edges clean and probably wound up doing it too aggressively and ruining the symmetry!

[@irakopilow9223]

My first thought when you clamped your glue-up was "Why not make blanks a size that would fit in your vacuum bag?" That way, you wouldn't get that delamination. Just sayin'

[@peterschoemaker9]

And as a professional woodworker i can say that 'we' dont like overkill simply because it takes too much time, i think it's more the youtube woodworkers who like it because they get more views......

[@frogjmon]

This voice over is giving me big "wildlife documentary" vibes crossed with a 90's sitcom thought narration
