Would you pay $3700 for this simple pine box? 

Oof this hits close to home!! 😂😂

Yep. I’m making a table for close friends. An embarrassingly large part of my “pay” that I quoted is going towards 4 way panel clamps and pipe clamps that I’ve wanted for a while anyway. The chance to try out rough sawn live edge slabs for my first time is worth it to me to work cheap and get some tools out of it. My wife is not a fan of my thought process.

​@@MemphisCorollaSLOL😂, you say that,,,as if she's ever a fan! Hey, I hear ya buddy. That moment doesn't last long, especially when compared to the lifespan of our tools. Mine always comes around quickly though. We have an understanding (15 year's of marriage so far 🤞). I don't say Jack-s**t about ANY kitchen gadget she wants, and she doesn't give me too hard of a time when I add tools to my tool-crib. Having said all that..."we've" got a bedroom that we converted to a kitchen gadget storage/pantry, because those things add up quickly.😅 My wife is an unbelievablely excellent cook. She's never worked as a chef or anything. However, she's known in our community for her cooking. It's a talent and passion that's been passed down from mother to daughter, for IDK how many generations. Her dear departed mother, was an amazing cook as well. I know what some people would have to say about the way I described our roles, but that's just the way WE live. I couldn't care less how other people live, and the roles they play in their lives. Honestly, I know a lot of awesome women tradesmen, and even her late father was an amazing home-cook in his own right. I can't believe that I felt the need to add this explanation to my comment. LOL, sorry 'bout the extremely long-winded comment buddy. I guess your comment hit close to home. Have a good one bud!

@@dhebert111 lol 😆 sometimes a tangent just has to happen on a story man. Glad y’all have a system worked out that works for you both. I’ll have to keep that bedroom conversion idea in my back pocket. Thanks

Ya man that's the message he's being sarcastic is cleverly saying the he made $3,500 on selling a bunch of those little boxes. Now go buy the tools and make them BRUh🤔

$3699.99 and its yours😂😂

​@@Doug-xt7bnI am bidding 3800

2 dollars is the best I can do...

I assumed the title was a reference to the cost of the material, time, and tools. A couple months ago I spent over $600 on a new router and router table so I could finish the doors on the home theater electronics console I’m making. The console I’m basing it off of would have cost me $3000 configured how I want it. Parts alone cost me about $1500. Add in the new tools and the time and it doesn’t make sense to somebody on the outside. But I’m learning and have new tools for future projects, even if I don’t necessarily get my money’s worth. Next (possibly) is a lathe so I can make some gorgeous bowls (I hope😄). Would I pay over $100 to somebody for a wood bowl? Heck no. Would I be ok absorbing that cost for each thing I make for the potential future tool use and the feeling of accomplishment? Hell yeah.

I hate to say it, but it got me to click 😂 I wanted to see what made it $3700! But it is a nice box regardless, love the close up shots of the cuts, always keep my attention lol

Lol. Dang it! Got me there!

Top Bait.... Now Blocked

😂😂 you’re the man Steve! Loved the full video. And yes, I’d pay more than $3800 just because you made it. Do I have the money? No. Do I wish I did? Yes.

The real question is why do people read a title on a RU-vid short and react to it. I react like this mostly so that puts me in the same idiot box as the rest of you!

Doubt I could sell a dozen for $37.

Okay that really good. 😄

you're serious?

It's not illegal

​@@danieldanielson2650Bandsaw box. It's a joke

With the right tools and know how you can make a lot of things great and small.

Ouch, burn

Hahahaha 😐

You couldn't even fit 5k of gold in the lol

Or make it out of gold with walnut inlay! 😅

🤣 That goes WAY back!

If you watch the full video, it's indeed that - resaw of old pallet wood!!! Steve is the best. I love his YT channel - I've learned SO MUCH

That's an expensive upgrade at these rates

Thanks Tim!

@@SteveRamsey you're welcome, small token for the great channel. I just refurbished a mid 1940s craftsman bench saw. Cast iron. Can't post pictures here.

Just waste time leaving cliched comments. That ought to help!

Sure thing. It was a few weeks ago: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NocmjPx5feM.html

@@SteveRamsey you are the man. Even send the exactly time. Fun how the brain works, I watched this video, but I recall a video from years ago.. I've been watching you for 8 years I think. Thank you for all the work, loving the narrative format, it brings some mindfulness into woodworking.

Biden says that’s a good price for that little box 😂😂😂

@@SteveRamsey yup, read it afterwards 🤦🏼‍♂️. But I gotta admit, this worked out. Feels like I just got an autograph from a celebrity 🥳

Probably not.
