    Wasn't a fan of dark color choice on base, I feared you were going to make entire project that dark, but then realized it was just the base. Entire project is just WOW! Extremely impressive, your channel is truly under rated!

      Thanks Teague! I really liked the lighter tone too, but the dark turned out pretty sleek.

    Most of the time I catch myself thinking "I don't like what he did there", "I wouldn't have done that", etc. Then at the end I'm blow away with how amazing the completed project looks and how all those elements I wasn't sure of came together brilliantly.

    Love this. You went from pallet furniture to complex angular designs and now more and more bending and lamination. And that's like really fckn difficult yet you seem so damn confident. Faced with something this complicated I would just stall and avoid, simplify or... abandon. But you just go crazier each time.

    Wow! That is beautiful!
    The 22.5 degree problem is because you were measuring at right angles to the edge of each sheet. What you needed was 22.5 degrees measured relative to the virtual horizontal plane created by concentric circles around the finished shape. If you were going to mass produce these it would be worth doing the maths and making a jig, but for small runs your manual solution is much more pragmatic!

    I grew up with a carpenter as a father and grandfather its fun to see the differences and similarities with how you work and they worked. your definitely a lot cleaner. they used an air gun to clean saw dust which of course just moved it around! some of the differences might just be new technology though. whats up with the big plastic bag? if i remember correctly i think my dad bent the wood with hot towels and clamps. they built circular stairs and had to bend wood for railings a lot.

    To trim the bottom of the base (instead of using the router) you could make a panel of sandpaper glued to a flat surface (mdf) and rub it around in circles to take off the excess. I've done this in several projects and it removes that router risk from your project. Cheers! Great project!

    @theofarmmanager267 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Excellent, excellent. I think there are creative woodworkers who can visualise unique designs and build them; then there are woodworkers who can “copy” designs, tweaking them to suit themselves. You are in the first category; I’m in the second and bow to you in appreciation.
    I hope your client understood and paid for the amount of labour in this. The cost of the timber and veneer is a lot - but hours and hours of labour!
    I was taught a couple of rough equations. Firstly, that, if you introduce 1 curve (as opposed to just circles) then labour is doubled; if you introduce complex curves (which work off each other) then you factor the labour by tenfold. Secondly, the first one of a set that you build takes the longest; the second takes 20% less; the third and subsequent ones take 30% less. Obviously, those are not built in stone and accurate but it gives me an idea of labour time and, when I was selling bespoke stuff, something that I could use to explain to customers why a piece like yours had 10 times as much labour as a simple square or round pedestal.
    I’m sure you found it necessary but I would like to have seen one table as you did it - and another with some sort of glass top so that you could look down the trumpet; however, I accept that a glass top is high on the naff list.

    • @SawyerDesign
      @SawyerDesign  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I like that formula. I definitely price differently than I used to with rectilinear projects. Materials become almost negligible. A glass top would be awesome! I might be tempted to pour the whole cavity with epoxy to eliminate the stamen which would be cool and a pain in the ass 😂

    One of the best projects I have seen on TH-cam!!

    Absolutely amazing, Nick. I caught the "flower butt" label on the flute form... hilarious. How you freehanded that changing, curved angle was mind-blowing for me. Also, since you're colorblind - yeah, you got that oak purple-black. I assume you hit it with some shellac right after to keep it from rusting (think you gave me that tip, actually). I've found that what really helps the ebonizing is to paint on some tea (like, steeped from a teabag) and then use the iron acetate. It evens out the color across the oak components and automatically gives you that deep black.

      Thanks Matt! I try to shellac pretty shortly after ebonizing. I remember us talking about your rust issue. I typically only have issues with the container of solution rusting, not on the piece (I keep the shop climate/humidity controlled) the tea trick is a great one.

    You are an exceptional woodworker! I’m thinking more of an artist! With the ability to overcome to completion is mind boggling! I’ve trashed many projects because I couldn’t figure the angle or the ability to create the angles with what I have. You should have never told us that you couldn’t get it right and you would free hand it. You would have made yourself look a genius! Your awesome friend! Really enjoyed the video.

    That might be the most beautiful thing I have seen made from wood this year.

    Got an almost art deco vibe from this build. The inverted bell as the table stand was a neat idea.
