I’m experimenting with some new lighting techniques in this video. They’re not 100% dialled in yet but I’ll get there eventually. I would love to know what you think?
Every piece of equipment it was like, "Well I'll never afford that" and then BAM! Pencil Sharpener. I literally laughed when I saw that. So funny. So smart.
You do excellent work. I appreciate you never ending attention to detail. I am 73 years old today and I admit I learn from you and I am proud to admit that. Thankyou.
This is next level amazing. Design, craftsmanship, techniques, materials, coloring, grain selection. All of it. And the cinematography is incredible. Why did i leave this in my watch later file for two weeks. This was inspirational. Very well done. -Ben
I'm starting on retirement, working part time only & buying more woodworking tools all the time. Your work is inspirational & I learn so much. I'll never have the tools you have but for me it's a hobby only, just takes longer to get done. Ton's of idea's from watching your stuff, thanks for posting.
I'm exactly like Robert Groves and who is walking the same pathway. I too am amazed at Nick's professionalism and skill set. Yes he does has some big $$ equipment (he is a Pro) but he also has much the same gear that we have already in our smaller wood shops. Although I have been wood working for several decades, I feel I have taken a quantum leap in my skill set recently thanks to Pro experts like Nick who are putting in so much at his expense into making these YT's for us to enjoy and learn from. I'm now 1 of Nick's Patreons - least I can do to support this work. I very much doubt that I will acquire the fabulous Artistic flare Nick has - it's hard to learn that, but we can sit back and appreciate/ enjoy this side of his craft.
Really beautifull craftsmanship! Its so simple, but the "simple" details like the brass band around the top and bottom, and the brass pullbars really gives it such a luxury look!
TImeless and beautiful. Watching you work is helping me to learn to slow everything down in the shop. Be in the moment, work carefully and with a purpose.
I rarely leave a comment. However, I have rarely seen anything as beautiful and wonderful that impresses me as this. My highest respect for such elaborate and ingenious handwork... The time and effort that goes into it too - hats off!!!
I think the ordinary wooden box is still a test of a craftman's skill. You need all the same skills you use to create your larger pieces. And the result? Something that is intriguing still. I love the styling reminiscent of Moderne, and the move away from the expected in the joinery. The draws with the dowels instead of dovetails - which would weaken the design theme. I love how that choice echoes the draw pulls, and their recess, and is carried through the whole piece. Repetition is legitimation of a theme, and your understanding of how to execute a design to communicate to the observer what you want is a delight. Bravo.
I love the way you keep your workshop so clean. Almost all your cutting and sanding machines have vacuum attachments on it. Must be a joy to start and end the day without having to clean up after yourself that much. And not to mention the health benefits of not inhaling the dust. The box is beautifully made. Awesome craftmanship👍
You have given me new inspiration. While you build a box, you never limit yourself to the box. Thinking outside the box to build the box into something more than a box.
I have to say, I love the lighting. Hands down whatever you are working on is what this video is about. I love the different shades and shadows that you really see. I would illuminate with purpose. You have made me a permanent viewer.
I really love the contrast with the dark walnut and copper inlay. I also am inspired by your shop and the tools you have acquired. Hopefully one day I can put in the work necessary to achieve something similar. Thanks for sharing the stunning art work!
I think your video quality is fantastic; and I love your shop. But it’s your workmanship and attention to detail that blows my mind. You are so young to be such a master of your craft. This watch box is absolutely gorgeous. Great job all the way around. Think,I will like and follow. Even a 58 year old with 30 years of making things can learn from you. I feel so inspired… think I’ll head out to my shop now. Thanks!
First time watching and I had to subscribe. Your precision and tool skills are second to none. And that's coming from a high end bespoke joiner that's been doing this for 16 years! Even sealing the brass. Top work. Great filming too
I want one and I want to make one. I also only have one watch. Absolutely beautiful piece. Lighting and editing were awesome. Looking forward to more videos.
I watched this possibly two years ago and it has now fascinated me again. It has inspired a few boxes I’ve made but not to this level of detail. I’m leaning toward the next getting closer!;D
Stunningly beautiful. Your wood shop would be stuff of dreams. I love how this piece doesn’t have complicated joinery. Your videos are top notch and I enjoy them very much (just wish there was more of them). Happy memorial day weekend
I love the "feel" of your vids, very peaceful. You are a true craftsman and artist. Your designs are stunning, I love the thoughtfulness you put into each piece.
Beautiful design very skillfully completed. Great use of metal and timber. If you hadn’t have posted about different lighting, then I would not have noticed. Even now, I couldn’t tell you what is changed but, whatever, your videos are always well presented. I look for great woodworking rather than great camera work but, when you get both, it’s even more enjoyable.
WoW! You have a gigantic workshop, and all, if not most, of woodworking power tools available in the market. Is this what you do for a living or just a hobby? Love your work here.
What a great job you did on the box, beautiful piece of furniture Nick! I've loved working on wood projects now for 45 year's and I wish I had a shop like yours. Keep putting out your videos and I'll keep watching them. By watching your videos it really gives me good idea's but truly helps me get better. 👍
Nick will make give up even before I start to make some furniture. This is just unbelievable! Design, Detail, Perfection and Love!! So beautiful and eye-catching!
From one Nick to another, I prefer this style of video. I've been watching your videos for years and, in my mind, you were an artist who uses wood as your medium. The new commentary style brings a level of human fallibility, but there are enough makers who provide that style of imperfect appeal (I'm sure we all follow that same channels). In my mind, I had you elevated with the channels like New Yorkshire Workshop, This is My Alaska, and Doucette and Wolfe. Btw, I'm using this particular video as a template for a jewelry box build right now!
The level of detail in your work is truly remarkable and inspiring. It motivates me to head to my workshop and engage in some creative endeavors, though I must admit that my creations will likely fall short of the exceptional standard you have set.
Just discovered your channel amongst the numerous others out there. What sets it apart is the design of the pieces. Very unique and individual. Inspiring stuff.
Excellent video. I like the copper accents. Also the round cylinder you put into a jig and used the planer … nice. The block plane to finish off the corners is a nice touch
I am absolutely addicted to this content! I’ve been looking for quality woodworking videos for a long time and finally it’s arrived! Absolute masterpieces.
Welcome! i love your designs !!! I hope that one day they will reach your level and I will find a recipient for such beautiful products !!! Greetings from Poland!!!
Incredible work, both in your woodworking craftsmanship and the excellent video production. I really love your style with the lighting and music and no voice-overs, it's all very soothing to watch. I will be watching them all and looking forward to more. Can I ask what is the spray you are applying to the copper inlay about 5 minutes into the video?
Just before 5min, he's spraying a CA glue accelerator. Makes CA glue cure almost instantly. A bit later (5:30ish) the spray can is likely a clear lacquer that will stop the copper from tarnishing.
@@Alkahestic I was surprised to see that the liberal use of the accelerator after each cross section was installed didn’t set off the ca glue when the next piece was put in place.
Love watching you make and assemble your projects. This piece is very beautiful. Your technics and your jigs have taught me so much. Great job as usual.
I’m experimenting with some new lighting techniques in this video. They’re not 100% dialled in yet but I’ll get there eventually. I would love to know what you think?
feels perfect to me.
The lighting is much better
Maybe don’t wear all black? Occasionally looks like two disembodied arms pushing material through machines.
Amazing ! Especially the final part when we see your realisation !
it's really good! do you get these looks only through the different lighting while filming or also with color correction afterwards?
FINALLY! Someone on TH-cam who knows how to correctly use a sliding table saw!!!
I love watching these craftsmen. Even if you don’t have the machines you can still learn so much.
Pencil sharpener for the dowel tapers.. BRILLIANT! You just taught me something.
Every piece of equipment it was like, "Well I'll never afford that" and then BAM! Pencil Sharpener. I literally laughed when I saw that. So funny. So smart.
Incredible the number of techniques I learned! That's the beauty of TH-cam, every one could have the best teachers. Thank you for sharing your skills.
Awesome! Thank you for watching
that drawer handle design is spectacular!
You do excellent work. I appreciate you never ending attention to detail. I am 73 years old today and I admit I learn from you and I am proud to admit that. Thankyou.
You Sir are like a fine wine to watch. I respect your craftmanship so greatly. Thank you for sharing with us mere normal woodworkers.
Not until you have done woodworking for a while, then you will understand how brilliant this builder is
Seriously beautiful work and video man.
Thanks Blake!
This is absolutely one of the most high speed craftsmanship I have seen. Brilliant!!!
Thank you
These videos have lowered my blood pressure back to normal levels 😊
This is next level amazing.
Design, craftsmanship, techniques, materials, coloring, grain selection. All of it. And the cinematography is incredible.
Why did i leave this in my watch later file for two weeks. This was inspirational. Very well done.
-Ben
Well said
I can feel you're connected with your work piece every time you work . It's only the reason brings your products a gorgeous look.
Thank so much

Really beautifull craftsmanship! Its so simple, but the "simple" details like the brass band around the top and bottom, and the brass pullbars really gives it such a luxury look!
Thanks. Its copper not brass by the way
@@pedullastudio aah, in my defence, i was watching on my tiny tablet screen so I couldn't see the difference 😉 but still, great detail
TImeless and beautiful. Watching you work is helping me to learn to slow everything down in the shop. Be in the moment, work carefully and with a purpose.

crazy, you are not a carpenter, you are an artist. Congratulations boy. Never seen creating with wood the way you do.
Thank you

It’s not even funny how good you are, Nick.
Incredible, just incredible
So inspiring to watch you work your craft
Thanks so much! Thats very kind of you
Finally getting a chance to watch this one - fantastic Nick
Thanks for watching Jon!
I love the way you keep your workshop so clean. Almost all your cutting and sanding machines have vacuum attachments on it. Must be a joy to start and end the day without having to clean up after yourself that much. And not to mention the health benefits of not inhaling the dust.
The box is beautifully made. Awesome craftmanship👍
Thank you
You have given me new inspiration. While you build a box, you never limit yourself to the box. Thinking outside the box to build the box into something more than a box.
I just binge watched all of your videos and now I’m bummed that there aren’t any more. You do incredible work, sir!
Simple elegance at it's finest.
Lighting looked spot on to me.
Thank you
Awe inspiring! Your video photography is as professional as you wood work! Watching this is a revelation of what can be!
I have to say, I love the lighting. Hands down whatever you are working on is what this video is about. I love the different shades and shadows that you really see. I would illuminate with purpose. You have made me a permanent viewer.
Thanks so much
Wow, I came over because of mention on Lincoin St Woodworks. Glad I did amazing work.
Awesome. Thanks for watching
I really love the contrast with the dark walnut and copper inlay. I also am inspired by your shop and the tools you have acquired. Hopefully one day I can put in the work necessary to achieve something similar. Thanks for sharing the stunning art work!
Thank for the comment
@@pedullastudio Do you have the plan for this box on patreon?, looking to make this for my industrial technology class
What a pleasure to sit and watch a master craftsman producing a work of art. Sir, you are an artisan in the true sense of the word, thank you.
Just found your channel I'm so green with envy at your workshop one day hopefully .keep the builds coming all the best
it's not only the craftsmanship for me. It's also the quality of the videos that are just amazing!!
Thanks so much!
Dovetail joints would look beautiful on this as the contrasting colours would stand out. But it's so cute!

Mesmerizing! This is pure luxury and good taste. Can’t stop watching.
Awesome, thanks for watching
It’s 10:30pm on Friday night and I suddenly feel the need to go vacuum my workshop! Awesome setup, equally awesome talent. Much respect!
It was spotless wasn't it :D
The second time I have washed this video, and it is very appreciable. Thank you.
I want one and I want to make one. I also only have one watch. Absolutely beautiful piece. Lighting and editing were awesome. Looking forward to more videos.
Cheers
that's not a box, that's art with a practical use !
Mate, everything you make is amazing!! This is the best watch box design and build I’ve seen. Awesome work mate!! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much!
Lovely work and cinematography. Enjoyed the recent Australian Wood Review feature.
Thanks so much!
I watched this possibly two years ago and it has now fascinated me again. It has inspired a few boxes I’ve made but not to this level of detail. I’m leaning toward the next getting closer!;D
Incredible. Such attention to detail are not often seen these days!
I really want to work with Woodworking when watching you work, amazing work sir.

Seriously beautiful
Thank you
Great piece. When you went to the lathe and then to the planer, I had no idea what you where concocting!!! Awesome work as usual.
Thanks so much
great creation
Thanks
I’m a sucker for walnut….and copper….and watches. WOW this is gorgeous.
Beautiful design very skillfully completed. Great use of metal and timber.

Thanks for the feedback
That copper inlay is crazy! I love the handmade hardware.
Thanks
Another project that destroys the spirit, it's so beautiful. The combination of copper and walnut is just sublime. Bravo
WoW! You have a gigantic workshop, and all, if not most, of woodworking power tools available in the market. Is this what you do for a living or just a hobby? Love your work here.
you one of the best furniture designer on youtube. if you could just do a video every week weel be great..
Thank you
The biggest problem with these videos is there aren't enough of them, gorgeous, sublime work, as usual, thanks for uploading.
Beautiful work, very nicely filmed. Really appreciate the attention to detail and the amazing precision. Thank you! Please keep producing films.
thank you
What a beautiful box. Your craftsmanship is truly amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching
That is so gorgeous! Love the handle design. I kept thinking how cool that handle would be on all the drawers in a kitchen!🥰
the lighting and filmmaking is as beautiful as your woodworking!
Absolutely incredible. I could watch this all day every day and the videography and lighting is outstanding my man! Well done.
very high level of quality and design. I really like the copper inlay.
Cheers
bravo Nick,
Finally a video i could stand to watch till the end. Well done!
What a great job you did on the box, beautiful piece of furniture Nick! I've loved working on wood projects now for 45 year's and I wish I had a shop like yours. Keep putting out your videos and I'll keep watching them. By watching your videos it really gives me good idea's but truly helps me get better. 👍
Nick will make give up even before I start to make some furniture. This is just unbelievable! Design, Detail, Perfection and Love!! So beautiful and eye-catching!
beautiful detail in metal and nice workshop
Thanks
This channel deserves way more subscribers. It got mine!

The best woodworker i’ve ever see
I go back and watch this video when I feel like I have lost the drive to get in the shop. It is one of my favorite videos...
I am absolutely addicted to this content! I’ve been looking for quality woodworking videos for a long time and finally it’s arrived! Absolute masterpieces.
Pro woodworker? dude you're an ELITE WWOODWORKER!
functional, elegant, just really pretty work and workmanship.
I work with video production. It is a pleasure watching you work. So many fine details in the video making, particularly in how you work with sound:)
Have a look at Clickspring.
Welcome! i love your designs !!! I hope that one day they will reach your level and I will find a recipient for such beautiful products !!! Greetings from Poland!!!

Awesome. Thank you
This is your best work yet. Stunning.
Thank you
This is not furniture, its an art piece... Awsome video
That's the greatest box I've ever seen made.
I miss my old job, the jewelryboxmaker. Nice video! soon I will make boxes
Do it!
Very impressive - design, skills and the box. Thanks for sharing.
That is a magnificent piece of craftsmanship
Beautiful work and inspiration for a couple of presents I need to produce.
Everything fits so perfectly, I can only hope to be this talented someday.
You can take a simple cabinet and turn it into a beautiful piece of heirloom art. Great job...
Thank you
Very nice job Nick, piece looks classy and very upmarket and fits the concept beautifully!
Thanks so much
You're a rock star dude!!! Just gorgeous.
Beautiful piece~! Love the simple design and the copper accents. Very nice work~!
Thanks
