Awesome build. Thank you. Personally, I prefer non-narated videos ( with proper machine sound volume editing) because with good edits like your video, I have enough experience to make sense of your build rationale, such as knowing the best bit to use would be a down cut spiral. But either way, nicely done. Fine craftsmanship. Perhaps a hybrid approach, short intro narration with the rest just shop sound?
I'm with Garth on this. The narration is nice, and I imagine people who don't do woodworking at all might possibly prefer the continuous discussion of what's happening, but I personally enjoy the lack of narration and to just watch you work. Your videos aren't full build videos so there's inherently going to be information missing if someone with no experience were to attempt it. I don't know many people with experience that would attempt some of your pieces. But maybe as he mentioned, a hybrid model. Chime in on the sections of a build that are highly unique or especially difficult for some reason and discuss how you solve the problem. Then return to footage. Either way, your pieces are some of the best I've seen on the platform so whatever you choose, I'll watch it.
Absolutely love this voiceover style. I spend most of my mornings on TH-cam, but it's not often I get to watch new videos, especially not on Sunday. I really love how this turned out. My wife has a cheap black desk at the moment, but someday it'll be satin black ebony oak like this. Your designs have always inspired me. We never put the brown plastic door pulls on our TV stand, I think I might paint them bronze now and see how they look. Hope you have a good week.
Honestly, I LOVED the fact that your videos were only tool noises. Those channels are few and far between, so it’s a treat when I discover one. To me, it’s part of what made your channel unique. I don’t mind a little bit of talking, but the channels that voiceover the whole video are wearisome to listen to.
The photography in the end always gets me in these vids, which is an art in itself. Love that red light at the back fading into the black wall, it silhouettes the piece really well
10:46 can we just take a minute to marvel at the voodoo here that allowed you to stain the surface of those doors without any drippage into your groves? Loving your latest piece and as divisive as black stain can be, this is a fantastic application of the stain with those brass accents.
Really loved hearing your voice man. As always, setting the bar incredibly high with your attention to detail and the care you put into every aspect- from design and execution to finish and production. Beautiful piece! and we shouldn’t feel sheepish when we make boxes, but deeply relate to your sentiment of wanting to out make the last build. Keep doing you!
@@pedullastudio 😆 since some people like us talking and some don’t, is the proper compromise to whisper about our wood? Shit. Maybe Marc’s been onto this the whole time 🤯
This conversation is amazingly adorable. A little Nick on Nick action. Joking aside, if the two Nick’s ever came together to make a piece of furniture…🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🫠.
The highlights are fantastic, your craftsmanship is outstanding, and I do appreciate the voice overs, guiding us through what you’re doing. Keep up the fantastic work!
Mate! I am just speechless every time I see one of your completed builds, they’re just beautiful. And it’s so humbling and inspiring to hear that you started out of a garage as that’s where me and my wife’s company is right now, our single garage. Also loved the voiceover style video too dude 🤙🏻
To build a cabinet is easy nowadays. To blacken a piece of furniture is easy. To put inlays is easy. To make the final product beautiful and truly special is ART. The author is not a furniture maker but a talented master of his art who just happens to be using wood for self expression when creating his truly marvelous pieces. If the author worked with clay, or paints on a canvas his work would be equally talented and sought after. What is particularly impressive here (and other projects of the author) is the perfect balance, sense of measure and proportion. Understanding, geometry, colour and perspective is key. Many enjoyed people watching this and you made the world a little bit better. Thank you!
Good things take time. One of the reasons that woodworking attracted me is the romance, the time, the design, and naturally the wood. Sadly in our needed it yesterday world many customers do not understand. Being Scottish, the pace that was Scotland up until the internet age resembled the 19th Century. I ordered a kilt in 1996 and it took three months to get it to me. Many people just don't get it, but it is a craft " when properly done" like ours. I see more and more people turning away from the pre-made junk that is knock down furniture and MDF covered with vinyl wrap. There is hope, and your customers are proof of that. Keep up the good work my friend.
It's funny what you said about the difficulties of having a voice in a world full of amazing makers, cause for me you are one of those top talented people I watch online that continuously makes me question and raise the bar for my own designs.. amazing work as always!
Love watching your videos. I’ve become obsessed with woodwork and furniture making, and your craftsmanship is truly inspiring. Thank you sincerely. 🙏🇬🇧
Appreciate your willingness to spend time talking about your thought process! I'm most inspired by your pieces as they always bring something new to the table.
From the perspective of a 72 year old American. The brass inlays are absolutely ingenious coming from a young man because they scream 50's and 60's the heyday of the phonograph and LP records that will go into this gorgeous cabinet that even the basic design of it is retro. Despite the fact that it's shape is to accommodate a modern television. In my eyes this is the perfect console for a music room. I applaud you young fella very vigorously!! Art from Ohio
As always, top shelf design and build. I love the voiceover because of what you have to say in terms of woodworking philosophy and the thought process in the design. Too many furniture makers on TH-cam dedicate their voiceovers to the mechanics… “So then I set the dado blade to be the exact thickness of the material”… maybe for some newer to the craft that kind of tutorial is important, so it does have it’s place. I’m not criticizing that at all. But, for me I suppose, the ‘why’ is more important than the ‘how’. You’re really striking the perfect balance on this one.
Another masterpiece and master class Nick...many thanks. And the voice-over is just right to guide us through your creative process. Adding the brass "rays of light and sound" (as I see them) does take it to the next level and keeping them proud of the surface adds visual elements. I'm a fan of inlays too from a cherry top coffee table I did with small black smooth river stones inlaid to an electric guitar I made with silver wire becoming a dividing line between a dark stain side to light. Thx again...
Man....whatever you build is out of this world, out of ordinary 100%. I love watching all your videos start to finish. You are one of the reasons I'm getting back into the woodworking after a 15 years pause. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Posting your videos here with full narration is great. I consider you a true master, and knowing what you are thinking while you go through the process is priceless.
Intresting video, where Pedulla shows an "regular" styled furniture. Then with a couple of changes, the furnitures becomes the next focal point in the room. Which the customer and the guest will talk about. Really nice way to boost an furniture in a simple way.
Love this build. I'm a wood hobbyist and I find your work inspiring. I watch all of your videos, I particularly liked the voiceover rigth through the sequence. It felt like a conversation.
My number 1 favorite woodworking channel. I want the shop so bad, lol! The tools are just *chef's kiss*! Love the new style of video. Great work! Beautiful piece as always.
Nick, Love the new voice over style! And don’t worry about upsetting people with “different” techniques. Creativity comes from within one person; just because another person may think differently, doesn’t mean either person is wrong. Continue doing what YOU do and we’ll all be here to support you. As an avid TH-cam watcher in this wood working industry, inspiration comes to me through your builds as well as your thought process. So being able to enjoy your style as well as learning your thought process is definitely something I look forward to in future videos as well. You can’t make everyone equality happy: You may call a black bird a raven, and half the world may tell you you’re wrong and to call it a crow. If you start calling it a crow then the other half will tell you to call it raven. You can’t make everyone happy, but if you call it a chicken, you can make everyone equally unhappy. So continue letting your inner chicken shine and we’ll happily enjoy the golden eggs you bring us here on TH-cam. Happy New Year from Florida
Just one word, PERFECT, I will try to do this in a future build, but it will not be as good as this. But I am going to try. Thank you again for the inspiration.
Blackening white oak is defeintly the one time it's okay to stain wood! White oak is a litttle to expensive for me but I've found that Ash is a pretty good substitute and you get to see all the cool highlights with the black finish. Also really like the voice over style, I like hearing why you made certain decision during the project.
I definitely prefer having a voice over instead of just shop noise. I watch build videos to learn so hearing your thought process and decisions really helps!
I think putting your speakers under your tv is a showstopper for me. I would literally stop and say "Why would you put your left and right speaker under your tv?"
The voiceover style is great, also staining white oak black is the what I did on my first piece ever, I love it. I used iron acetate, but I’m going to buy some fiddes.
Honestly just the miters and variable top line while still perfectly spacing and aligning the doors…..I love the stain and inlays but just that “basic” mastery is t going to get the love it deserves. Well done. I’m subbing, and in the future when there is more disposable income I’ll likely be a patron.
My God Nick, That is amazing!!! With regards to voiceover, it is a resounding yes from me. Your craft speaks for itself but it is made much better by hearing your thought process and reasoning. Keep up the great work Looking forward to seeing more very soon Gerard (from England)
The narration helps a TON. Especially considering the level of intricacy, it illuminates the process and makes achieving something like this more tangible. Thanks man!
Wow Nick, this was a great video and that is a spectacular piece~! Congrats on the Patreon explosion. I really like this type of video from you and the voiceover just works. For starters, who wouldn't like the accent?!?! Great work and thanks for sharing it~!
Keep the voice over brother. Not only does it add to your video quality, but you give great incite into how much passion you have for your craft. Every video I've seen so far proves your experience and attention to what the customer wants. I know at times you feel the pressure of getting a piece done on time but if a customer wants your best, they will wait till you are satisfied with the results, which in turn, will make them appreciate the time spent waiting for it. Keep up the great videos and your amazing pieces of art! Cheers 🍻
My mouth is dry from my jaw being on the floor for 13 minutes. As inspiring and stunning as it is to watch your work be made, it does make me a little sad when I think about where I am with my own work. Wish I would have started doing this so much earlier. Truly beautiful work my friend. Cheers
I can only hope to be this good. Ever. But it sure is inspirational to watch a true craftsman create. It makes me want to approach my own projects with more care and attention. Your miters make mine look like cursors. 😎
I'm a left-handed hairstylist 43 years. I started out with cheap Doubleduck shears, used clippers, etc. I now use Kasho Japanese shears that cost A LOT! All my tools are top of the line now. I get you.
Thanks for your generous narration, Nick. I suspect most of your audience clearly understands that adding narration to your always visually excellent videos adds a great deal of work for you, and I'm sure they appreciate it as much as I do. And I especially appreciate your remarking that down-cut spiral router bits leave a clean upper edge when cutting from above a surface-that now-obvious fact had escaped me, and I'm going to make use of it right away.
I watch a lot of videos that are about building of all types and if there is a voice-over as a rule I move on, but because you create very unique pieces I stayed til the end. You were right, the black stain was scary until I saw the end result, marvelous!
I like and prefer your voiceover style videos as it feels more personal than just watching a stranger working. Your channel is my favorite. Keep up the great work!
As an IT conslutant, I live and breath digital content for far too many hours a day. I find my relaxing in both playing music and woodworking, both with as few power tools involved as possible. ❤
The man actually said, “it is a fairly basic piece” while standing in front of this gorgeous piece of meticulously-crafted art. I wish I had a fraction of the skills to back up standards that high!
Watching this again for the design. I particularly liked the running miters around the overlay doors. The clients may swoon over the brass inlay, but it's the joinery details that make me want to come back! And the voice over is great. A little less "mysterious" than earlier videos without narration, but very helpful. Thanks again!
Like the voice over style. I have made a career in the digital world for the past 28.5 years. At 30 years I'm looking to retire and escape to the shop and become a retired full-time woodworker for just the reasons you talk about around the 6 minute mark. I can't wait.
Nick, this piece, like all your pieces, is a work of art. I enjoy hearing your views and approach on your thought patterns, even when they involves switching gears mid-motion. Exceptional...
Like the voice over style, the piece is stunning, and damn, it hits all the highlights your customer asked for, IMO. Can imagine a whiskey clean some great music on old vinyl playing atop this magnificent piece of art.
I particularly enjoyed the voiceover, as it is what I tend to gravitate towards with wood working videos. I am new to your channel and subscribed immediately after this build because of the voice commentary, which contained humour as well as instructional content for the wood working and the design processes. I didn't hurt that the end product was unique and stunning.
This is the first vid I have watched on your channel. Very impressed with the design and execution. Black stain over oak is something I never would have thought of doing but it looks so elegant. Well done.
God lord this is a stunning piece. I got goosebumps. So elegant, not to much or little, just perfect. You are my favorite wood worker of all time and you inspire me so much in my own wood working.
Hi Nick. I think I link more the videos where you just show the process without voice and at the and you explain everything once the piece is finished. It let's the piece be the star of the video. And the final explanation is for the questions that come along the way. Greetings from Mexico. Cheers!
I've never really been a fan of oak but that black stain turns it into something amazing! Fabulous work, as always. I also like the voiceover, but either way works for me. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome project and video man! I’m kind of pissed at TH-cam right now they feed me all sorts of garbage all the time yet I’m just seeing you for the first time today. I’ll definitely be checking out some more!
I very much appreciate both styles of your work, Voice Over aids to clarify some items for people I think more accurately. Honestly think your work is fantastic, helps me to be a better woodworker which is much apprciated.
What do you think of the Voiceover style video?

Unreal, Im a huge advocate for brass and any earthy tone that compliments furniture/instruments.

Dito!
Thanks for the compliment, and for hanging round till the end

Loving your latest piece and as divisive as black stain can be, this is a fantastic application of the stain with those brass accents.
Believe it or not a standard kitchen sponge has turned out to be the neatest way to apply stain.
A nice simple basic build...Love it! Voice over was also well done.
Thanks
Simple, basic?
Now that's a record player stand!
Timeless piece. Beautifully executed.
Really loved hearing your voice man. As always, setting the bar incredibly high with your attention to detail and the care you put into every aspect- from design and execution to finish and production.

“Wow” would be a gross understatement. The beauty of this piece is truly stunning. 👍

Loved the voiceover and the piece! Simple, elegant and beautiful!
I love the voice-over style of video. I like to hear your process because it helps me to learn the "why" and not just the "how".
Love this style of video! Love hearing your process and thoughts as you work through the build!
Huge fan of the voiceover. It's nice knowing what is going on in the build and not just listening to a saw run the whole time
New subscriber! This is a stunning piece! Thanks for sharing your amazing talents! The voice-over is definitely a must.
Thanks Carl!
The narration and creativity are a “step above” for sure.
Excellent video, love the voiceover and insight into design process!
me too.
Just one word, PERFECT, I will try to do this in a future build, but it will not be as good as this. But I am going to try.
Thank you again for the inspiration.
Staining it made me cry a little and yell "noooooo". Until I saw it with the brass. Then I knew why you are the artist. Wow.
BIG +1 to the narration! Well done, Nick!
Thank you
Blackening white oak is defeintly the one time it's okay to stain wood! White oak is a litttle to expensive for me but I've found that Ash is a pretty good substitute and you get to see all the cool highlights with the black finish.

The clients may swoon over the brass inlay, but it's the joinery details that make me want to come back! And the voice over is great. A little less "mysterious" than earlier videos without narration, but very helpful. Thanks again!
I prefer the voiceover! I hope that you keep it. Beautiful piece of furniture!
Like the voice over style. I have made a career in the digital world for the past 28.5 years. At 30 years I'm looking to retire and escape to the shop and become a retired full-time woodworker for just the reasons you talk about around the 6 minute mark. I can't wait.
Sounds like a perfect plan
From one fine furniture maker to another, gorgeous piece.
Nick, this piece, like all your pieces, is a work of art. I enjoy hearing your views and approach on your thought patterns, even when they involves switching gears mid-motion. Exceptional...
Very useful voice over. I like both styles, just music and voice over.
Like the voice over style, the piece is stunning, and damn, it hits all the highlights your customer asked for, IMO. Can imagine a whiskey clean some great music on old vinyl playing atop this magnificent piece of art.
Thank you
amazing built! the contrast between the inlays and the stain is just amazing
also love the detailed voiceover!
I particularly enjoyed the voiceover, as it is what I tend to gravitate towards with wood working videos. I am new to your channel and subscribed immediately after this build because of the voice commentary, which contained humour as well as instructional content for the wood working and the design processes. I didn't hurt that the end product was unique and stunning.
This is the first vid I have watched on your channel. Very impressed with the design and execution. Black stain over oak is something I never would have thought of doing but it looks so elegant. Well done.
Thanks
Voice over was great. It adds more depth and understanding to what you are doing.
😊
That turned out really nicely!! The pro's can take a simple project to the next level.
God lord this is a stunning piece. I got goosebumps. So elegant, not to much or little, just perfect. You are my favorite wood worker of all time and you inspire me so much in my own wood working.
Thanks so much Erik
Hi Nick. I think I link more the videos where you just show the process without voice and at the and you explain everything once the piece is finished. It let's the piece be the star of the video. And the final explanation is for the questions that come along the way. Greetings from Mexico. Cheers!
I prefer natural wood color myself, but this piece turned out beautiful. Job well done!
Really enjoyed your dialogue throughout the film, the end result is pretty sensational as is your trademark! 👏😀👍
Thank you
I love the Voiceover…..Your a great instructor, designer and craftsman.
Another beautiful project, love the routing idea, as you were routing it I was getting Eddie Van Halen's Frankie Guitar vibes.
Glad you noticed, this design was inspired by that guitar.
I've never really been a fan of oak but that black stain turns it into something amazing! Fabulous work, as always. I also like the voiceover, but either way works for me. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching
Love the voice over, I don't necessarily catch everything you do and find it helps
Everything is MAGNIFICENT, including the VOICEOVER.
Sei sempre pulito, preciso, molto professionale..... bravo bravo sei veramente molto bravo.... complimenti
Awesome project and video man! I’m kind of pissed at TH-cam right now they feed me all sorts of garbage all the time yet I’m just seeing you for the first time today. I’ll definitely be checking out some more!
Awesome. Hope you enjoy the other videos!
I very much appreciate both styles of your work, Voice Over aids to clarify some items for people I think more accurately.
Honestly think your work is fantastic, helps me to be a better woodworker which is much apprciated.
I prefer the voice over style. Beautiful piece as always.
Thanks Kevin
