Leslie would be over the moon if she knew that her wedding ring was forged by Ron using a waffle maker.
And a piece of Ann's house 😍
So true :) (both)
@@ytngw it would be too much for Leslie
Well Ron probably didn't think much of that.
nobody will question the impossibility of doing that, but it was done
I like how he was still considerate enough to sand down Ann’s wall after he used her sconce
he’s a man of principle. if he destroyed something he’ll fix it. it’s the swanson way
Cleaning is an important step of every project. If ins't done ins't 100% done.
Burying live wires behind the drywall probably isn't up to code either though lol
@@Jessev741 Just cap 'em off with a few wire nuts it'll be just fine.
sigma grindset.
My son is several weeks old. He’s very familiar with the sound of power tools. Legendary
This sums up his character quite well in my opinion lmao
Ron and his son are so adorable
I love how Ron’s passion for woodworking is inspired by Nick Offerman’s own love of woodworking. The canoe is one he made himself and the workshop is Nick Offermans own wood-shop.
I am surprised that Ron's son didn't have a mustache wren he came out.
Swanson men earn their first mustache after their first successful hunt.
that would be too much fuss.
He's a Swanson, not an Addams
He would’ve given Diane carpet burn
He shaved it before joining his father
I find it wholesome that whenever someone's had a genuine desire to learn about what Ron's doing any handiwork and how he does that he's willing to stop and explain. For all his guff and dislike of people in general, he seems to take pleasure in helping people become self-sufficient and that's awesome and wholesome at the same time.
It's the part of Capitalism / Libertarianism that people don't like to acknowledge, people genuinely enjoy helping uplift others into self-sufficiency and freedom. You don't need government to force people to help people.
@@contentiouscritic Yeah, we genuinely enjoy doing that in social democracy too, because it's also a system based in self-sufficiency and freedom. We just put away some of our money into a communal pool in case someone breaks an important appendage or gets hit by a car in their pursuit of self-sufficiency, because we don't believe that freedom needs to involve exposing people to unnecessary pain and hardship. There are enough challenges in life for everyone.
@@michajozwiak5557 capitalists can easily, voluntarily put away money for charity or emergencies. Such a system is ACTUALLY based on self-sufficiency and freedom, where the one you described forces people’s participation by way of government guns. You can’t call that freedom, it’s the inherent opposite, it’s government. You can claim it’s worth it, or that it’s moral, but let’s not play Orwellian word games and pretend that “being governed” is “freedom”
@@michajozwiak5557 also you have a terrible concept of freedom if you think it’s a controllable concept that can include what you want but not what you don’t. That’s not how this works, freedom is; “the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint” or “the state of not being imprisoned or enslaved.”
No where in the concept of freedom does it say “prevent exposing people to unnecessary pain and hardship” because that’s not freedom. It’s security.
“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” - Benjamin Franklin
@@contentiouscritic my man. ron swanson is a caricature of the average libertarian. obviously everyone has redeeming and likeable qualities but the *comedy* in his character comes from the absurd heights of his so called "self determination". like literally, the biggest point of growth in his character was learning to let others in and share in the burdens he used to stubbornly place on himself. also nick offerman himself is a socialist who support universal healthcare and a $15+ minimum wage.
Ron swanson isn't just my favourite character, he has the best attributes a character can have: he's steady, self-sufficient, and he has a keen sense of cyber security
Not only that, he has a wide set of skills
I love how he respects and admires any demonstration of a desire to learn
I know, he barely speaks to Ann but when she asks to learn he teaches.
When Ron smiles when holding his son, that’s the best smile I’ve ever seen.
What about when he gets called Lester by Aprl😂
That’s the smile of a winner
And the baby's derpy expression is even better hahaha
@@kyletanking off for f4ftv4rf
@@noahjosefski7019 tuff vtf
Ron Swanson needs his own tv show, where it’s just him, going about his business.
haha "How it's made.. Properly"
Phix I’d what it so much nothing gets done
Check out James May's stuff. Basically a British version.
I'm not sure that would work... For the same reason why a show centered about Dwight Shrute would work. They're perfect supporting characters, but seeing them in the lead would make them tedious and annoying
Katarina Solita Puškaš or.... it’d be better then the whole parks and rec show
I started my woodworking side gig because of Nick Offerman. I love that man.
I am currently working my way up to just that. Hope it's going well for you!
Ron Swanson left Dutch Van Der Linde SPEECHLESS. Truly a one of a kind man.
LOL
Ron in the Van Der Linde gang would have been amazing
@@leonidas9808 I really like that idea.
7:08 NOISE ARTHUR NOISE!
I never realised Leslie's wedding ring was made in a waffle iron. How perfect!
And with something from Ann's house and made by Ron.
@@jflores85 EVEN BETTER!!!
So the part where he puts it in a waffle iron and then says that he used a waffle iron just went over your head?
@@wolverinefangowings I think it is more that they saw it was in a waffle iron but never realized the significance, that being Leslie loves waffles
@@templarkiller2926 ^ Exactly that
They left out the part about Ron's proposition to the gov't contractors. He agreed to do all of their work for them, letting them take all the money, and the credit for his work, 'which will be flawless.' Oh to be Ron Swanson's child.
The fact that they didn't take that is the most unrealistic thing on this whole series.
Rensune they did take the deal
@@Red_1911 I stand corrected.
Thank you.
Another Fun fact, The main contractor is Dutch Van Der Linde’s Voice Actor
@@PassiveGiant33 I know you didn’t just disrespect Benjamin Byron Davis like that
The fact that Dutch Van Der Linde and Ron Swanson were in the same room is amazing
Oh wow I thought that was him but wasn't sure
Ron Swanson casually ripping out a wall sconce and forging a ring is hilarious
I could watch Ron do DIY stuff for hours
Do do it yourself? Nice.
DIY and Stuff with Ron
Same
For how many hours?
@@jonahedery5645 all of them
"Swanson chairs are handmade."
"Yes! And now they'll be made by thousands of little Chinese hands."
You to man like Ron Swanson that has got to be one of the biggest insults ever. Your a hard working American who built a chair with your hands and suddenly a woman who has never had to work a hard day in her life says that his work is now going to made by little communist Chinese hands.
He was most likely raging inside.
@@jeromemorales1602 i would say how about you head out there and tell those little kids that you were too lazy to let me do this
I really wished they showed his reaction to this (if the camera turned to him after, I didn't get to see this episode).
@@giovannicervantes2053 what was the point of your reply?
@@demonking86420 from Ron's perspective sorry if i didn't add context
Fun part is that even Dutch Van Der Linde took advices from Ron 😂
Even Ron has a plan
@Dave Smith the foreman who goes to talk to Ron when he was fixing the radiator on the third floor is the voice actor for Dutch Van Der Linde. The main antagonist/pivotal character of the Red Dead Redemption series.
Andy's knowing look when Ron and Diane are hitting it off...while wearing a tiara.
God I love this show.
Ron making the rings out of a sconce was really one of his best moments...it showed not only his skill in DIY but also how much stuff he'll do for Leslie's happiness
It showed another one of his superhuman abilities, as there's no way all that took 20 minutes in a non-workshop household.
I'm not even sure it could take less than 20 hours...
@@Delightfully_Bitchy you could easily do that in 1-2 hrs
It’s a fun moment, but as someone with experience in both casting and jewelry-making, it kinda hurts to watch.
@@SynchronizorVideos i mean just waiting for the molten metal to cool would have taken more than 20 minutes lol
@@seancostello4158 thats why he cools it via nanofreeze.. or something similar... at 5:30..
“He now has that satisfied look that only comes with pride of labor” words to live by -Jon redacted Swanson
Jon? You mean Ron right?
Ron Ulysses swanson
Or he pooped
Either way, well done Jon
Heh you even gave Ron's "official" name for it
I find it great that Ron has the genuine DIY enthusiasm and that the actor managed to bring Ron's genuine love for working with ones hands and nature.
Him being a park ranger was the best end for his character.
9:43 Perfect timing that the baby does a "yeah!" with his arm. Adorable!
There's something special about the way Ron says "canoe"
It's heavily sexual.
There's something special about the way Ron says anything on this show.
You know the actor actually used to build canoes? Look it up there's videos
@@RobertMilesAI Yeah, in fact the canoe in the show is the one he built. Also the wood shop in the show is actually Nick Offerman's wood shop. You can even buy stuff online that they make.
And Mark saying Code
The thing is that Nick Offerman in real life is a carpenter, I don't know if he is a handyman, but his woodworking workshop is one hell of a sweet one, he has all kind of beautiful tools, machinery and materials
ron swansons wood shop is nick offermans woodshop in real life. but without the code violations i assume, and the rude signs i guess.
@@tinoj9661 and with employees!
@@rocksdxebec3406 don't know about the employee status. its considered to be a collective. seems more like he rents his place out to other crafters so his tools aren't getting lonely while he is off filming.
ruclips.net/video/zIA2Xl8P7Es/видео.html
I didn’t know that!
The sense of pride when he’s holding his son is the most wholesome and jealous feeling I have ever felt
i love how he never seems sweaty or tired after all the work he does and he is always happy :)
That wedding ring creation is simply unbelievably resourceful.
Joshua Hendricks rip sconce
My favorite part of it is “People who buy things are suckers.”
I made the engagement ring for my wife out of recycled silver. It wasn’t that hard, but I would never make a ring again. I prefer wood working.
It also wouldn't have worked. The wall sconce was made of Nickel and Brass plated steel, so would not have been able to be melted down. But lets use our imagination and pretend it was made from cast bronze and aluminum pieces even though the rings he showed being made were from Bismuth alloy (could have been lead, but I'm going to give the show some credit of being mildly intelligent). The bronze and aluminum would not be possible to melt in a cast iron pan with a torch. Given Swansons character, there's no reason they shouldn't have had him wheel out a small casting furnace with a Si carbide crucible to properly melt and cast the metals into rings. Honestly, a bit disappointed.
@@geheirnwaeshen you must be fun at parties
No sarcasm science is my jam
All jokes aside, he's 100% right about the sense of pride you feel when you fix or create something yourself ☺
@Dave Smith you think that's air you're breathing
And pride after you poop lol
As a man nothing is better than a true feeling of pride at finishing something you have put time, sweat and love into
I'll take your word for it.
@@Evaunit98 Indeed, that is a great feeling!
...
We're both talking about bringing a woman to climax, right?
5:04 “Perhaps I could be of service?”
*Steps into frame, fixing his cufflink like an American James Bond.
The way he reacts when the lady touches his arm..... Priceless 😂😂
I love how whenever anyone wants to learn, Ron doesn’t just brush them off.
Unless your a lowes employee
@@JLTRAIN233 He knows more than them. They don't want to learn. They just want to sell him stuff. That's not Ron's style.
I wood (heh, get it?) love to learn how to make a small harp with Ron Swanson, that would be an awesome summer project
This is just the 34th comment making the exact same observation. The sheer banality of most people makes mass marketing so effective.
He doesn't even think to correct Ann when she says "we did it!"
1:45 I love this part becuase Ron know he definitely has code violations, and still says "nope" after like 5 seconds of silence.
Lol yeah
I heard Roz's voice (from Monster's, Inc.) saying, Your stunned silence is very reassuring.
He says he never lies. Maybe he means he has no code violations according to Swanson code
@@davidc5820 Yeah, he probably spent those 5 seconds thinking up that interpretation of the question
You can tell that's from early in the series. I feel like the more well-established Ron would take craftsmanship safety very seriously.
I feel like it should be pointed out how fitting the wedding ring scene is.
Ben furiously pursuing any and every option to make Leslie happy
Chris being optimistic but failing to actually help in any way
Ron one of her best friends hand crafting the rings using material from her best best friend and Perkins
And all topped off with the mold for the rings being a waffle iron, the device used to make her favourite food.
Ron Swanson,one of the best characters ever,and Rob lowes face at 5:13 when Ron rips the light of the wall is priceless
What I love most about Ron is that he's never stingy with his knowledge. If you ask him how something works, he'll tell you, no snide commentary or judgment
Always willing to help anyone who's trying to better themselves, a real man
And he always seems proud of them when they ask
"I know more than you!" Nothing better than that quote. Dominance established :D
When peeing on a guy just doesn't cut it.
anyone who's ever walked into PCWorld has felt this sentiment.
What I love about it is that he's stating it as a fact and not as an insult
Had me laughing so hard😁😁😁😁
@@hamarbiljungskile8953
Nice one
Lowes employee: “Hi there, is there a project your working on?”
Ron: “I Know More Than You.
Lowes employee: “Alright”
“Yes mostly you use it for sitting”
“Put it by a table and eat a meal”
One thing that’s not appreciated enough is how willing he is when others ask about different tasks- without any kind of elitism. Like with Ann and Dianne, he’s always happy to show them what he’s doing, and how to do it themselves.
I guess aside from the employee at Lowe’s who asked him if there’s a project he was working on. I think he felt the insincerity.
@@MrRyan-wu4jx The worker was suggesting that he needed help.
Which makes sense considering he is a libertarian
I would love to see John Swanson several years later lecturing his classmates about the beauty of red pine and wood carving while Ron looks on with pride
After being home schooled I think John would become America's youngest Woodsman, and an internationally renowned joiner/carpenter at 13.
@@1nfiniteSeek3r 13? Why so late?
@@cityhawk
That's exactly what Ron would say in this situation
Dont forget the signature moustache, cant be a Swanson man (or woman) without that sweet upper lip varnish.
@@cityhawk well to get to the master level of most trades you need to go through an apprenticeship and journeyman period. While Ron might hate government, it’s a teaching period to really perfect the craft that he would likely get behind. So if he started his career around 8 or 9, 13 would be just right
"Relax, let me make you a canoe"...I literally have a good friend that walks in and asks "anything need to b fixed?" Ron Swanson helped me understand him. Thank goodness for these guys
0:33 The fact that Ron knows how to play a harp of all instruments is the most surprising thing about this.
“People who buy things are suckers”
I honestly don't think you could make a ring out of that type of metle it would be to hard to manipulate under stress and or proably snap. I gotta try it and see. Lol fun day
Ron Swanson is total badass 😂

@@angerymechanic661 Just out of curiosity, why would that type of metal be difficult to manipulate?

Ron fixing the hole in the wall was more funny to me than everything else
"Perhaps i can be of service?"
Yep, him sanding the patch made me lol. It had the most realness for guys that have hung drywall.
Ron showing Anne how to fix the sink was such a wholesome dad moment.
"What I like to call a food tease. Like an oat wedge or a seaweed lozenge." 🤣
*giggle* my son is several weeks old, he's quite familiar with the sound of power tools 🤣
His giggle is the best
The guy he’s talking to does the voice of Dutch in Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2. My mind was destroyed when I realised that.
Jermaine Jansen he is a Swanson after all
@@pastlife960 he probably has a plan. He just needs some more money.
@@justmerc1642 thats why he's building there. Its part of his plan. His Last job
“My son is several weeks old. He’s quite familiar with the sound of power tools.”
And the simple
“I know more than you.”
My favorite lines. 😂
That’s Dutch from RDR👀👀👀
Ron Swanson is a personal hero of mine we should all strive to be more Swanson
Nick Offerman really does make everything that you see in the show and truly is like a master craftsman when it comes to woodworking
Seeing Ron so proud of his son at the end was so wholesome !
Either way, WELL DONE JOHN!
"Some cartridge that says Sonic and Hedgehog"
Ron is like the ultimate Dad
@Ebola FIX SONIC'S ARMS IMMEDIATELY, SEGA!!!
Ron Swanson is the kind of man we need more of in this world.
P&R, I don't know Nick aside from his audible books but the character he played on your show is among the things that brought me joy in a dark period of my life. Thank you, and thank you Nick.
I love that the only man that could literally satisfy “Xena: Warrior Princess,” is none other than Ron Swanson.

So cool to see what Bill was doing before surviving the fungus virus plague thing.
"He now has that satisfied look that only comes with the pride of labor. Or, he pooped. Either way well done, John!" Best dad ever.

When life leads you astray and you find yourself in unfamiliar, troubling surroundings, you can always count on none other than Ron Swanson to guide your vessel back to calm waters. Hats off sir.
The smile on Ron’s face when he cuts the building code book in half always cracks me up
“My son is several weeks old, he’s quite familiar with the sound of power tools”
Love how in Ron’s world that’s perfectly normal 😂
I love how Ron talks to Jon. It's just really wholesome and funny to me for some reason lol
I'm I the only one who feels offended that they bleeped Ron at 9:32? That silenced truth was just as important to know as when Mr. Rogers told us he loved us every week.
The idea of crafting a beautiful harp, purely out of spite greatly appeals to me. Now that's a level of petty energy I can respect.
The fact that it is perfectly in tune, is a brilliant touch.
3:25 "No trespassing - violators will be shot. Survivors will be shot again"
(I don't like to repeat quotes from a video, but here I just couldn't resist it.)
At least you acknowledged it.
That is from GTA - San Andreas

I have a sign that says that.
Also, “Come back with a warrant!”
8:46 you can see the moment Ron begins to respect Ann
A sense of accomplishment, pride...Damn it, I just love it so much
08:54
"How much do you think Ann would miss this sconce?"
*Forcibly removes it from the wall*
I love how when Ron is talking to John about the red pine, John is just looking at him as if he's saying "is that right?"
No one actually knows he's a master woodworker! Ron Swanson for life!!
Reminds me so much of my dad….makes me wanna call him. That scene when he’s fixing the sink with the gal….so many of us have lived that same moment. Your nervous to ask him to show you what he is doing because most of the time when he is fixing something there is bound to be moments of rage and a a signature vein on the forehead. But when you do he is nothing but thrilled to hear your interest.
John Swanson Smith will be my grandchild’s name. I shall tell my son now. He will agree
Very underrated comment
Did he agree?
He will agree after some deliberations and exchange of knowledge. Then I will out rank him and make the choice for us both. It’s for the best
@Fafafuhi 22 It is however not me, but my grandchilds’ names will all be Smith that I can say
Great statement

"Myson is several weeks old, he's quite familiar with the sound of power tools"....gold
A spinoff program, "DIY with Ron Swanson," would be very worthwhile.

Then I remember Ron Swanson.
Love how the ring making shows how well he subconsciously knows Leslie.
4:12 Ron’s right about the medicine expiration (not all of them, but many if not most). I worked at a pharmacy once and one of my daily tasks was to go through the ENTIRE stock, ever single solitary pill in all the blister packs and boxes, and throw away the ones that turned one year old by that day.
