    I dont know how he does it, but I am so glad this channel exists.
    These videos feel like bespoke commissions by a high-end woodworking lifestyle magazine that doesn't exist. As a hobbyist woodworker, I am always impressed and truly motivated to think differently about this craft every video that is released. But it's more than that. The voice-over dialogue is well-paced, yet entertaining with plenty of detail. The music sets a mood of casual fun, with moments of challenge and anticipation. The video production is by far the best I've seen, even from channels with a larger production staff.

      ​@layneinchains4047 100% agree! I dropped out of college as a ME student because I found I really hated CAD. 10 years later, I spend 10h a week on the computer modeling or referencing CAD. Wish I had any skill whatsoever for drawing by hand like this Nick guy over here. But, also glad I didn't spend a whole 4 years at it just to become a furniture maker. Though, some of that vector geometry education would've been nice starting out hah

      @@michaelhenderson4706 - I hear you! I wish I took some courses in design as well. Definitely helps when you have some sort of plan prior to starting a build. I work off of crude hand sketches because I don’t have the skill to transfer what’s in my head to a piece of paper lol. I don’t think people realize how hard the actual design process is. These guys make it look to easy! Hey it’s never too late to go to your local community college and take come courses it may help!

    2 observations: I've always hated extending two pipe clamps by hooking the fixed end, the angle is horrible and makes aligning things a pain. A 3/4" coupling from any hardware store fixes that problem and is (as you might say) far sexier. The other one is hitting the screw on the sawstop: the screw is fully supported by dry wood, so there is no way for the current that they use on the blade to flow to ground. I'm sure you could cut their demonstration hot dog the same way if you independently support it in something insulating.
    Absolutely awesome piece, as always, thanks for sharing and posting

    Little details matter and you are exceptional at making every little detail count and look flawless.
    One tip. For your hardware screws.. go get a pair of wire strippers. You will notice the side has holes where it looks like you can screw in something. Those are there for electricians to cut down the screws for junction boxes. They work for cutting down the screws for drawer hardware and give a nice clean edge without having to use a cutting wheel or grinder.

    Very inspiring to watch you challenge yourself with each video. In your exploration, have you ever considered an homage to one of the more ornamental design styles, like some of the stuff from the 1800s? Queen Anne or Rococo or Chippendale style? That kind of stuff is definitely not in style these days. It would therefore be interesting to see you iterate on it. There are definitely some different techniques required. Rather than hitting everything with a chamfer or roundover bit, you might have to carve some filigrees!
    This is a challenge to put a cloven hoof on your next piece. lol. Keep up the amazing work.

      Thanks! I’ve definitely had my eye on making my take on a French bow front dresser for quite a while. It’ll happen eventually. Could also see an upholstered rococo bench/daybed being an interesting option worth fleshing. Carving and marquetry are a whole different rabbit hole I’ve not yet fallen down.

    I don't remember you getting a SawStop. I may have missed it. When last I remember noticing, you were using that gold-coated Harvey. How are you enjoying it compared to the other? Also, I used my Pantorouter today to cut dovetail keys in the corners of a mitered frame for Leaded Glass. Worked a treat! Great work, as always!

    How many hours do you have in a project like this? And, considering the previous question, how well have you learned to estimate your time involved on one-off projects such as these?

    Hey,
    A sloppy box isnt all that bad. Without a little slop I have a tough time sliding my tennon into that dado. Besides, over time all boxes wear out, get dry and brittle. But if you love tht box, it just doesn't matter. 😉

      Thank you! I wish I had room for a photo studio. These are all shot on a backdrop in the shop with a little computer magic to clean up the background 👍 sometimes I do take a piece to a studio, but logistics are a pain with heavy valuables and just myself moving finished projects around town.

    I have found that keeping parts as square as possible for as long as possible is never a bad thing. I save any tapering until the last possible operation.
