Keep improving on this design. It is a multi-million dollar product. My first thought was have a guide track for the electrical wire so it stays up towards the rail and multiple lamps for married couples. This would increase the nightstand sales. Great idea and a great video to match.
PLEASE SELL THIS INVESTMENT FOR $45
Ever since the desk, the anticipation is real
Agreed! Been looking forward to the inspection
So true
Where’s the desk video
Rightttt
@@george8660 It should be the 2nd on his latest videos!
Your old reading lamp helping you build your new reading lamp at 20:58 is so emotional
_poetic_
It's her last time to shine
She can be a desk lamp now, it was her original destiny anyway
Man your video style is so aesthetic and vibey it‘s crazy
I came here to say something like this, but you put it perfectly
@@MattyRRGyeah, he really hit the nail on the head of complete vagueness.
I know right! “Said” amazingly!
Just a safety tip: when you burn yourself, don’t ice it. Run cool water over it. If you ice it the heat transfer won’t be as efficient, therefore the pain lasts longer. Ice also damages the tissue, so it’s just better to run cool water over it. From someone who burns themselves often. The lamp looks fantastic though 😊
you can also get an ice burn which wouldn't be fun
Cold water decrease faster temperature (instead peel keeps on burning deeper) And in case of burning put some thyme honey on it...both natural antiseptic & antibiotic. Make faster healing. Used in hospital for big burned.
I usually just grab a cold can of soda from the fridge and hold it against the burn.
If you do it immediately and hold it in contact for as long as you can, you can almost eliminate the pain.
@@Bflow-h9sYou can use any kind of unprocessed honey, it doesn't have to be thyme. Also, please don't use honey on large burns *before* you go to the ER, they'll probably just have to clean it out again to get to the wound. Otherwise it's a really good tip, honey has been shown in multiple studies to improve the healing of burn wounds significantly.
I really liked the editing in this one. The b roll, the aesthetic shots of the product and the soundtrack. Also liked the addition of casey Neistat style photo of you on bed with lamp mockup. Just good solid storytelling, coupled with interesting product, good editing and great craftsmanship. This vid was a banger
Yo man. I’m an industrial design student in Australia and I couldn’t agree more with what you said about the design process. I think it’s so drilled into you over and over the need to have a certain number of iterations or concept sketches when sometimes you simply don’t need them. Especially when designing something for yourself, the need to communicate design decisions becomes redundant and I think that’s often overlooked.
Industrial Design student from the Netherlands here and I totally agree as well. Sometimes you just have to follow your gut and try things
Hi guys I am also a industrial design student in india. Can ask you guys what is your curriculum like and how your classes are divided.
Beautiful work, dude! I'm loving these sleep-optimized ergonomic projects.
Hi, I love your videos!
yoo, super cool seeing you here. I’ve recently started watching a lot of ur vids as well as his videos, and i love both of the styles you each make in.
i love seeing woodworkers unite
Other people during school holidays: Chilling while watching TV
Miles: Yeah why not build something to solve a problem no one else has
The paper mock-up shots are awesome! Very reminiscent of Wes Anderson. Your woodworking and filmmaking are both improving so nicely!
Miles, I've been following and watching your content since I first met you and your Dad about 10 years ago at Maker Faire and have to say that your work and videos have ascended to a level that is purely art. You are positively influencing a whole new generation of makers. Keep up the amazing work.
i would LOVE to meet this guy! your so lucky!
I enjoy your videos more than any other woodworking TH-camr's out there. The main reason is the editing-it's fresh and has a "vloggy" style, but at the same time, you incorporate mini "skits" and "movie edits" into it.
The simplicity of your setup doesn’t feel intimidating or overly professional, with super expensive tools and a perfectly equipped workshop. In a few instances, the weather, like rain and snow, affects your projects, and I think that adds a lot of uniqueness and authenticity. It makes your videos feel more like a story than typical "how-to" or "DIY" videos.
Love it! Cheers!
The curved edges on the shade look really good *and* they give the illusion that each layer is carved from one piece of wood.
This is awesome!
My only (very minor) suggestion would be to put a little weight on a pulley on the drawstring that moves the lamp so that it doesn’t tangle.
Thats a good idea!
Either that or you could make a little standoff from the wall with a pulley that mounts to the wall at the bottom and holds the drawstring in place, much like what they have on lots of vertical blinds.
@@tylerbogaard375 came here to write the same!
Man, your woodworking, designing, filming, and editing skills are incredible. Please keep doing what you love and if that involves making vids too then we love that!
It's incredible the quality of the videos, I really enjoy the cinematography behind and the way you tell a story. The only little thing is in 5:18 you do a jump cut error... I think! Anyway, amazing work, greetings from Chile 🇨🇱
It feels like I’ve just finished a TV series finishing this video. You’ve incorporated so many editorial techniques, characters, text, drawings to keep us captivated and portray the story that is… zoom out… building a lamp. I think of your videos now as an expansion practice. Congratulations on another video and a sponsor my friend!
not only you are very talented at making furniture but you also make a great storytelling through the video. i am amazed at how many talents and energy can exist in one single person. slay
Brother this is my first video I stumbled upon from you. I'm only 7:13 in and all I gotta say is drop the woodworking and go be a director. The way this video is scripted out and the scenes are movie-like. Good work!!!!
your statements at 21:50 are so relatable, as an artist, some of my best pieces have no planning, you articulated it so well
Miles, you truly are fantastic. The edit, the story telling, the framing, the build itself. wow. A true 10/10
What's wild is that I watched your last video and had to pause it to go write something you'd said in my Milanote! I keep all my crafting advice and lessons I've learned from TH-cam videos in mine, and I wanted to note down what you'd said about gluing strips of wood with alternating grain patterns being more stable and less likely to warp than solid slabs. Hype that they sponsored you!!
The standards to be a TH-camr now is wild. This guy is at 320k. 320. Wtf is this cinematic masterpiece. There is comedy. Good story telling. Beautiful cinematography. How?! Then the wood working! Crazy.
There are a lot of low budget/quality videos that do well too. Thats the chaos of YT 😂
I think it's great how you can create such great projects from your ideas! I also think it's great that you work safely. With other TH-camrs I'm always afraid that something could go wrong.
You're really great! Keep it up!
Greetings from Cologne (Köln).
0:16 I wasn’t expecting that it surprised me! I loved this part! Super cool!! 😧😧🫢🫢😖😖
building something and meanwhile telling a story in a better way, than many filmmakers would do. mad props
Usually don’t, but wanted to comment because not only may you inspire those who are already woodworkers or craftsmen, but you also inspire those who have very remote interests to become a storyteller. Not sure if you also film and create the videos yourself (just subscribed you seconds ago), but truly a prolific channel. Excited to get to watch more of your videos
I was just sitting here loving this video and thinking the music was really great, then one of my tunes came on! Thank you 🙏
I’ve been a TH-cam woodshop consumer for 8 years.
You have been my favorite creator from the moment I stumbled on your desk build.
I love your approach to the craft, and the craft of creating entertaining videos is on par with your projects. Absolutely splendid amount of talent on your channel man! Bravo! 🎉🎉
as a film major, your videos are so pleasing to watch. genuinely have loved cozying up and watching this + the desk saga
Another amazing build, another amazing video. Love how you carry us through the story with your images, music, and voice! The lamp is amazing! This is chef's kiss Miles!
this channel is so underrated man it's crazy
One of the best video i’ve seen on TH-cam,everything is perfect from the lamp,to the filming tecnique and the narration❤
I love the improvements you've made over time with your creative shots and editing.
The Force is truly strong with this maker/craftsman/artist . . . Thanks for the inspiration.
your editing is so good, having multiple character of yours in a frame and making it look cohesive with correct lighting and colour grading just blew my mind and your wood working skill, creativity touched my heart. Real good work, keep it up!❤
Your films are amazing man. And I really wanna call them films and not just generic videos. Highly appreciate the aesthetics and grace you have put into it. Glad to have to found you. Keep up the good work my man!
Bravo, well done. The finish of natural wood is the best part.
My schoolwork stands no chance against a Make With Miles notification. This turned out so sick dude!
loved all the character appearances, good work on the lamp! All the rounded corners really make it match the rest of your furniture
Amazing lamp, video, editing, soundtrack. Everything! I am looking forward for your next project.
Thank you!!
Miles, The cinematography is unreal & that Lamp is one of the most beautiful piece of lamp I have seen.
This video sparked an interest towards carpetry and Design in me.
I'm subscribed after this, my first video of yours.
My young dude, you are in the excellence and genius realm!
Don't waste any time in your life from this point forward, being concerned with your skills of self worth. You got it!
Your ideas, from practical need idea, to design idea. to coping with the weather to get it done are phenomenal. Your natural skill of balancing humor, truthful accounts, and video/visual documentation are naturally brilliant. (You will have a continuing flood of the most attractive and practical mates or partners imaginable.)
This single idea, RAPIDLY turned into a reality and design - and professionally, competently documented on video, will be the standard for entrance qualification for Design colleges and engineering universities.
Thanks for posting. Stay healthy. Stay level headed and assume that your ideas help others, as they do - even if you only document your attempts or tests. Thank our God that you are realizing your gifts at an early age. You are like XKCD web cartoon guy crossed with the best instructive design and workbench tutorial on "make this" now. You touch peoples' souls, across genders and ages.
Thank God you are not bogged down with some fallacious Post Modernism, but instead gifted with some practical realism and good spirit for our fellow humans.
Go, go, and might I add, go! (set up an automated periodic web search for pages selling your design for track light from scratch, or selling plans, or coming on the market in Family Dollar Stores or web sites. This data will give you some good feedback on the desirability of your excellent work. It won't touch your innate skills and talents to create such ideas that result in good products due to your character.
this dude is a real ARTIST you cannot find many creative woodworkers like this
Whatever happens if you decide to get rid of any of your works of art please sell them because I would buy them in a heartbeat! You have so much talent!!
Love the Four Eyes reference at 4:44
First thing I thought of when he mentioned using less glue.
I really like how you don't hide your mistakes. I always watch these wood working videos and It always looks like such a smooth process. Unrealistically so, like it makes it seem like wood working and furniture creation is easy enough for anyone to do. And while of course anyone can pick it up with work and dedication, you need just that! Hard work and dedication. Love the videos
Honey! The new Make With Miles dropped!! 🏃💨
Absolutely phenomenal video. I'm awed by the filming, the editing, the creative problem solving, and the finished product. Great work, Miles.
can any math expert explain why the angle was 31.5 deg ? how do you normally find it without randomly stumbling on it
I have a math degree, and the derivation is definitely not something I'd expect a "layperson" to derive without trial and error (or googling). It's definitely something you'd have to draw out, and not a very obvious mathematical relationship. The angle is calculated as:
angle = atan(cos(θ) * tan(φ / 2))
- θ is the slant angle of the outside of the box
- φ is 90 degrees (the inner angle of the box, 90 since it's 4-sided)
Which, for his final angle of 31.5 shows his outer slant must have been ~38 degrees. Searching online, this is called the "miter angle"
Edit: I found a very interesting derivation here: jansson.us/nsideboxderive.html.
Normally it would be 45degrees but the slope brought the angle in acutely trig would of done the trick I’d have to look up the formula though can’t remember off the top of my head lol
If the slope is 70 degree you multiply 45 with 0.7 and get the angle you need
@darius2640 The piece of wood is angled 40° from the ground / horizontal plane, and meets another piece of wood (similarly situated) at 90°. To keep the math simple, let's say the horizontal projection of the piece of wood has a length of 1 unit, then the vertical projection has a length of tan(40°) ≈ 0.8391 units [tan(θ) = y / x, where θ is the angle from the horizontal plane, y is the vertical projection, and x is the horizontal projection.] Since the two pieces of wood meet at 90° and are to be cut at the same angle, the horizontal projection of the cut (X) has a length of √2 units (the length of the diagonal of a unit square); we now have the horizontal and vertical projections (X and y) for the compound angle cut - √2 and tan(40°), respectively. In order to find the compound angle, we solve the above equation for θ [tan(θ) = y / X → arctan(tan(θ)) = θ = arctan(y / X)] and substitute in X and y [θ = arctan(tan(40°) / √2) = 30.68°] and find the angle to be about 30.5°... though Miles might have just taken angle measurements from his mockup.
@@rickyseddon4786would you be able to find that formula? i’m stumped haha
I love the lamp, the grooves, the lighting, everything hits
the production blows me away every time, this is absolute cinema keep up the great work
i love this guys edits, creativity and attention to detail. He even marched his socks with his room decor 11:05 😅
I’m impressed with the quality you produce compared to your relatively basic tools.
Your process is so cool to watch! And the end result is DOPE!! Makes me want to try to make things I've been too afraid to start on. Thank you for doing what you do and sharing it with people!
Amazing, everything about this video is mind-blowing. The editing, music, design, script. I watched the whole thing till the end. Thank you so much
crazy how your editing, production and building gets better and better with each video, it's because of people like you that i decided to start a graduation in design, keep up the good work!
Man. it was so satisfying to watch 😌
Wow man! I don’t usually comment on videos but I thought you should be told how incredible your work is! The asthetic of both the entire project and your filming is astounding and genuinely so impressive. You are incredibly talented in wood working and cinematography, keep up the good work!
You're a great videographer Miles. You can really tell a story.
Oh, it's so beautiful! I have no idea, how could you find so much peace of mind for this work? My nervous system would be definitely destroyed :)
what a great project turnout!! but even more impressive is your problem solving skills. BRAVO!!!
this was a cinematic masterpiece. thank you for being so creative and sharing your ideas and art with us!!!
INCREDIBLE video and ingenious design. The level of functionality and attention to detail is crazy. You basically eliminated every annoyance--no matter how small--of a bedside lamp to create the PERFECT end result. Amazing work and I look forward to seeing your next project!
The practicality and beauty of this design is already stunning, but you're really bringing your editing and cinematography to the next level! Everything in this video just looks amazing, great work Miles!
This is a very clever design, it takes patience and labor to make it. Congratulations on a job well done.
👏🎉
You're a wonderful maker Miles and a fantastic video editor! Congrats once again!
I love watching you design and build stuff... there is an elegant simplicity to the things you create and that is so cool to see. This light is the perfect example of that.
What a chill guy 😅. Really calm, atheistic and skilled person. You just earned a subscriber!
Love the ambient glow from each layer, very nice!
Nice editing, and I love the characters. Keep up the good work!!
I usually skip ahead to see the end result but you, my friend, have made it impossible not to watch the whole thing! Good job!
I really love your videos, the attention to detail in every shot and to the product is crazy, the production value alone is amazing. I love how you build up this world with music, aesthetics, and storytelling. Keep up the amazing work man!
As an old man, I really appreciate not only your woodworking skills, but your artistic design as well. Then, your dedication to the project is so great, you work in outdoor conditions that most would stay indoors! Keep up the super work!
Seeing the result at the end produced a tear in my eyes, nice work man!!
Have to say this is one of my favorite channels on YT. Great story telling meets great design. Keep it up Miles
I think that might be the first lamp that I have ever seen and really liked. Turned out absolutely beautiful!!!
I follow many many creators on TH-cam, your thumbs up to view ratio speaks volumes. One of the best videos in this category I’ve ever watched.
This video has such a vibe, and the lamp is impressive and inspiring.
Good work dude.
(Consider getting a new drill press with more torque, or sharpen/replace that forstner bit)
well worth the wait!
Just love your videos and the voiceover. As an engineer I can really appreciate the friction between being creative and solving problems on the fly vs trying to be 'textbook'. The biggest reward is not only seeing the fruits of your labor but knowing that you solved every obstacle to get to that point💪🏼
Wow. That's one beauty of a lamp Miles. Well done.
Amazing project and cinematography!
Something you might want to look into: There are Nylon or other plastic coated v-wheels that are commonly used to ride along the aluminum extrusions of 3d printers. Those could have worked for the channel and might be a bit quieter and won't scratch the wood over time.
Your vidoes and creations are funny and soothing at the same time. Showing the journey of each of your projects gives them much more depth, and a genuine one. Thanks a lot and cheers from Switzerland 😊
I really enjoyed this….. I never post about any channel, but I wanted you to know I really enjoyed the creativity and innovativeness of your lamp and I love figuring out how to make things like this! Thank you
Young man, you are so amazing and I’m so glad the algorithm guided me to your channel. Never stop visualizing and remember that you learn more from your failures than you do from your successes. Lastly, that vintage modem sound while thinking really cracked me up and now I’m going to carry that with me 😊
i cant find a single part of this video that isn't deeply satisfying, the visuals, the project, the sound design it felt like home.
dude, this is pure insanity. absolutely loved every single second of the video.
Thank you dude!
your cinematography is so beautiful
heck yeah Miles! you did such a good job on this project, and the video. Mad respect!👊🏻
Cinematography and story telling got an HP boost
As someone who gets paralyzed in the planning phase and makes CAD models galore, I loved seeing your process and hearing your thoughts at the end. The video quality was great and the final product even better.
Hey. Clever and nice design ! Love it! Smooth and sweet ambiance. Yes tests, experimentation, thinking by making is sometimes quicker in our hands and tools. Some failures necessary to grow THE final beautiful piece. Try and see what it will become :) Love your precious creations you're an orfevr. Keep on.
Wood is a rough material that can be smooth under touch and under eyes too.
I love your stuff, Miles! I just wanted to comment on what you said about design iteration and sketching - I think the value of sketching and iterating isn't just to find an even better idea. I think it's also about giving yourself space to sit with the idea, to play and to simmer with the idea. Just my two cents :)
i love watching people make things, you will forever be my favorite woodwork youtuber
8am? But this is the what I watch to fall asleep! lol, love your work, can’t wait!
This is my favorite project you’ve made from a design standpoint aside from that beautiful record sideboard with the wave front. Great work and love the consistent design elements.
Your frames of the video are as aesthetic as your products you craft. You're an artist through and through bro.
Everything you make is so cool, the craftsmanship is outstanding, and you're a great filmmaker as well.
I love seeing you work, it is so inspiring knowing that a collage student can do so many cool ideas! Keep doing what your doing, your the best!
love it dude. so cool to see your whole process. the bully doesn't seem super necessary or super convenient if you are on the opposite side of the bed. non they less such a cool idea and I'm inspiredly you determination and ingenuity!
