Hey, how about extending working space by adding a self made shed attached to the garage? It may help you in future projects to have a warmer area in your shop
LOL Came to the comments just to write this 😂I have a remote for my WiZ lights for this exact reason lol. Keep the lights on until just before I'm about to pass out, and then I hit the off button on the remote 🤣
the sound effects ,the balance of professionalism with quirky editing , the personality of mike, the talent , the produuction,im sure im missing more but i just love every thing ... i hope you are always motivated to make this content, i hope your college goes well, i hope your tent never leaks
OR! You’re a creator, an artist, a thinker so why not challenge yourself. Even though it might have been practically unnecessary it was definitely a way to try new things and hone skills. And I imagine very satisfying to use.
What I love is that you solved a problem that a lot of people don’t even notice it’s solvable. Most people just think like “it is what it is” and don’t even think of fixing it but you just went for it. Amazing
Dude, it's obvious watching this video that you mean business. You hooked the viewer in with a highly relatable topic, got me to stay for the hidden feature, got me to get lost in the edits, followed up by your clear passion and dedication for the craft. Insanely inspiring. You're going to be big if you can make content that ticks all those boxes.
This dude hooked me in on a video where he makes a whole nightstand because leaning over a little to turn off his light was too much work for him. This is incredible.
Def this, at my job we switch between cartridges after 7 days of exposure to air. If you store them in a air tight container when you dont use them will stretch the expiration date.
@@CptSpears007 Yes there are. I have/use particle filter cartridges for woodworking, and vapour cartridges for painting. The vapour cartridges are impressive for what they block, including 2K paint fumes.
Hearing that you got an extra day because of the ice storm gave me whiplash. My college apartment lost power for four days and I trekked around on solid ice daily to find places with wifi. Great video!
I love that you encourage your neighbor to come watch you work. this was almost exactly what got me into making at a young age too. My neighbor would leave his garage door open while working on something and I could always wander in and say hi. definitely impactful!
Watching this video was heartwarming. The atmosphere of DIY projects in the depths of winter, with school canceled and those cinematic shots, created a beautiful blend, just like that nightstand.
"some of these kerf joints are probably the tightest I've ever bent" is such a specific yet strong flex :D and this is an awesome build! I'm already excited for the lamp :)
@@MakeWithMiles 23:58 a yes working in a jacket that doesn’t absorb saw dust, but if it makes you comfy than ware it because being cozy boosts your creativity
Where mere mortals would've moved the lamp, put a timer on it, or bought a new lamp for 0.125% of the money/time you spent, you have a truly beautiful and functional piece of art. Nice!
A tip from someone who grew up with a carpenter dad: There are 2 types of gloves: Warm gloves.. and work gloves. Those are thin, usually out of some kind of rubber with non-slip coating on the palm-side. Those are great to keep at least a bit of bodyheat in on the hands on a cold day. I used them many a cold day while helping my dad. They are also designed to easily rip if they get caught on something, so it takes off a piece of glove instead of skin.
@@Abbie-hz9hx I specifically came to the comments because of the "I can't wear gloves because I'm woodworking." I ALWAYS wear gloves when I'm working. Milwaukee makes amazing gloves that are tactile enough to let me manipulate things while still protecting me.
@@TotemoGaijinthis was the point I was going to make. It’s not unreasonable to just take off the glove that’s on the workpiece for as long as it takes to make the cut. I’ve done a lot of machining and mechanical work outside on ships and submarines and this is exactly what I do. Also, sometimes while it’s not exactly safe it’s not extremely unsafe to wear those gloves. Router? Absolutely no gloves. Drill? The gloves are staying on.
@@coolcj15oh yeah my dad loves that brand and whenever i borrow his gloves they’re so nice although his are thick for chainsawing and more heavy stuff that doesn’t need a delicate hand but i can imagine they’d have nice thinner gloves
DUDE I can’t believe I just watched this for free! The storytelling, the woodworking skills, the editing, the silliness of it all… This is one of the best TH-cam videos I’ve ever seen. Period. The time flew by watching this video, even though I was intimidated by the length of it at first. I was engaged the entire time. All the little things that make it such a stellar expertise do not go unnoticed! You should be proud.
bro, your editing style, audio mixing, and overal charisma make this SUCH a good watch. honestly, i feel like makers and woodworkers specifically have such a finger on the pulse when it comes to videos!! amazing
Miles it is such a pleasure every time one of your videos is released. I find the grind of making and running a business in our woodworking field sometimes binds me up and I can lose sight of what brought me into this craft in the first place… there is something about your video editing, storytelling, and just pure ‘making’ process that is very grounding and inspiring to experience. Every time you’ve got a vid out I cant wait to watch, and every time I feel the impulse to leave a comment but never do… so I’m finally ticking that box. From one maker to another just thank you for contributing to this space in such a unique way.
This comment made my day. I am glad my videos are able to transfer some energy and inspiration; that’s the goal. When you have your head in your work for too long, it’s easy to lose perspective like you said, I’ve had that happen many times. I’m so glad there is a community of makers and woodworkers to remind us we aren’t the only ones feeling that way. Thank you for watching and for your thoughtful comment!
All this for a nightstand light. Man's got skills, but more importantly, DETERMINATION. All while still in college. Major props, Miles. Looking forward to your next self-made problem that needs fixing!
Im finishing my graphic design degree, and since I began studying there was a part of me which REALLY wanted to design and create furniture...Your channel gave me the final push to start woodworking classes, thank you❤
The finesse and attention to detail here are insane, I wish I could wield my perfectionism with such grace. I'm also impressed with you for setting up shots during an ice storm, I'm sure that was just as miserable as setting up and using your tools
One of the best videos I’ve seen on TH-cam to date. I have been watching TH-cam since I was like 12 and I’m 23. I watch TH-cam all the time lol. I’m so impressed. You have expertise in several different trades. Writing, creating, building, cinema. Well done miles! You’re a dawg!!!
if you ever happen to be in the cold again, a tip I learned growing up in mn is that the fastest way to warm your body up if your hands are freezing is to unzip your coat and put your hands in your armpits, I have done this on a frozen lake in the boundary waters in -38F windchill weather, genuinely pretty extraordinary how well the core of your body hold heat compared to your hands, might come in handy next season as weather gets more extreme in the world
For the record, between your thighs also generally works. Stays warmer there to protect reproductive organs, easier to reach if you have a coat that's too small. Looks really dumb standing up though lol
Just be careful not to do this if you're trapped outside to warm them up - your body is pulling heat to the core to save you, if you stick your frozen hands under your pits to warm them, you'll drop your core temperature further and will die faster. (I also live in cold zone, Canada)
@@boxerbritt yeah preferably you should never be in an environment where you are trapped in extreme cold without the proper gear, only really useful if you are at immediate risk of frostbite and have a solution on the way like shelter from wind, fire, or being able to get inside lol, but also a good point
I could feel that “my hands” part, living as I do near the other Portland in Maine. Watching you wrestle that job site table saw out there-gees. You’re a trooper, Miles.
There is definitely a way to work safely wearing gloves. All the setup can be done with gloves with zero risk. Certain tools also pose no increased risk when wearing gloves. But it seems when he’s inside it’s warm so no need. It was just the table saw. He could have done all the setup with gloves and even his left hand could have been gloved when cutting since all it’s doing is holding the push stick well away from the blade.
This is art. Not only you being able of making a nightstand, but also the video. The editing, the sounds, the talent, your personality… gosh, I loved this so much, I enjoyed this so much. Thank you.
this randomly appeared on my fyp and i don't regret even a second of watching. everything from the stand, to the editing, to the music is 👌🏼chef’s kiss
Miles your videos give me so much comfort when life gets ridiculously overwhelming. Watching you create motivates me to keep taking more steps forward, so thank you for all the love you put into these!! 🙏
I know this is a beautiful video about craftsmanship and putting effort into things you love, like your community and yourself BUT, that's why I love my kindle. I just close the thing and immediately fall asleep. Beautiful video, furniture and hope you make it far!
never thought i would finish an almost thirty minute youtube video but here i am. i have 0 clue about woodwork nor making furniture but i do love myself some good story-telling and you managed to sell me on that. so great to see creators like you share their creativity on the internet in such an artistic & captivating way! you definitely have a bright future ahead with your ideas & skills. you're one of the few creators who keep this platform original and alive
I don't think there's any word I can describe this video with except exquisite. The camera work, the subtle story line, the music and chill vibes wafting over everything. This is the first time I've seen one of your videos but my man I'm absolutely about to dive into the rest. Awesome nightstand, sick video
Just want to comment on the editing, pacing and music choice. You absolutely crushed it dude - I'm sincerely taking notes about cuts, shots and editing bits that you used. Super clear that you put a lot of effort in the editing and shows super clearly. Keep up the fantastic work my friend, its super impressive
I have never been so happy for a Portland ice storm. I have always learned more from my failures than my 'meets expectations', and you have too. The attention to creating your own furniture style is just wonderful.
I just found this video on my FYP, and I think I have found my new favorite YT woodworker. It is so cool to see someone my age making such amazing stuff + your incredible cinematography skills add so much depth to the video.
“…basically just cardboard covered in fake plastic.” 😂😂😂 I may or may not work for the big blue and yellow box. Beautiful work, both on the woodworking and the video as a whole. Subscribed.
A mix of inspirational DIY, well crafted storytelling that kept me invested, and some beautiful filmmaking and cinematography This is an amazing video, I can't wait to see what you do next
How have I only discovered your channel now!? This is epic work dude, from the idea, the process and craftsmanship to the production of the video too. Seriously top notch work mate, respect
What really makes this video stand out for me from all the other woodworks videos is the feeling of difficulty you get watching this. EVERY other video has always shown people using too professional Tools than I could ever have and make the detail-work look easy. You have shown where the real effort is needed and how much time it REALLY takes to build this nicely.
Your videos have been inspiring me! My dad is a hobbyist woodworker (mostly cabinetry) and I was always vaguely interested in it growing up, but I thought it wasn't "creative enough" for me, as an artist. But now as an adult in college, videos like yours have sparked that creative interest I needed to get started! Your amp project blew me away and the cloud chair video made me itch to make a chair for myself! Can't wait to get started soon :)!
This production is great. I loved what you were able to capture with your filming and editing style. From the music choices to the story boarding. I love that you were able to capture some comedy in your editing as well. I loved when you appeared in frame picking up that slab. The lighting was obviously consistently considered even when you had to work with what you had like inclement weather conditions. Great ideas and great story captured beautifully and shared well. This video deserves some kind of certification of quality.
I can’t express enough how much of a masterpiece this project is, but also the vid itself. I genuinely wish I could watch this for the first time again because it’s just incredible
20:00 "it's -9° C outside, school is canceled" Meanwhile in Russia: yeah it's -32° C outside.... but it's not -35° though! So we can't cancel the classes, you have to go. Jokes aside, you guys probably have much warmer climate than we do, so it's understandable that the rules differ for our countries. Keep up the good work, man, this looks awesome!
Glad the neighbor kid likes to watch and that you encourage them! That show you set a kid on a path of curiosity! So many people did this for me as a kid and now I have a million hobbies
I’ve only recently come across your content. You’re who I want to be when I grow up. And I’m 38 😂 Your design process is fun to watch and I really enjoy the aesthetic of your work. Can’t wait for the lamp video!
Haha, I had similar feelings and I’m 40. I’m sure this dude will end up being world-class most demanded designer one day. I also like those TH-cam furniture makers who work from their big fully equipped workshops, but there is a special place in my heart for those young people who work from their parent’s driveways dragging tools in and out. And as someone from a country with cold winters, too, I can totally relate to the weather aspects.
Pro tip: you should never be pressing on both sides of a blade. That push stick use at 5:40ish was unnecessary and downright dangerous. The cutoff can be allowed to float as you press the main piece past the blade. This prevents kickback, and allows you to focus on one area, which is safer. Before you cut away I saw that left hand reaching for that small piece and winced
Agreed. Hey, @MakeWithMiles, we want you to be able to continue making cool videos and sweet projects. You may want to read up on workshop safety practices. What @threepe0 said is only one of the safety issues I couldn't help but notice during the video. I know it was super cold and you were working outside, but long sleeves while working with power tools and dodgy cuts on the table saw are some things you may want to reconsider. Safety first, last, and always!
I have never been so fully captivated and fascinated by a video about building a nightstand. The music, the editing, the quality, the engineering (as an engineer myself), it's incredible!
I just sat through this entire video with a big smile, everything about it was perfect. This is a masterpiece, the story telling, the cinematography, the lighting, the work itself. Just wow.
This was such an amazing video - from the actual make of the night stand down to the storytelling, editing, and general production quality. Genuinely & truly just good stuff
You are incredibly talented. Everything from the design, the build, and the cinematography. Whatever you're going to school for, I'm sure will lead to just as much success.
I love the video, the craftsmanship, the details, design and the way you explain. But, that is the most beautifully over-designed light switch ever ; )
What an absolute joy to watch!! Your creativity and your enthusiasm for your craft is (and I know this word is overused, but it's the only way to label this) an inspiration. For anyone trying to create. Anything! The passion, the persistence, the humor, the highlighting of the highs and lows. Halfway through and I already want to see more, see bigger, see you in 5 years with a giant workspace with even more tools and heating, a sponsor and commissions letting you do what you obviously love. I'm subscribing now so I can brag about this later. Amazing work!!
21:58 gloves are dangerous yes... but like so are joints that dont work because theyre too cold and stiff. so like thin leather gloves with some of those hot hands warmers and some very cautious table saw cuts, would have been safer I think. yikes.
21:09 dude are you crazy!? With the windchill It had to be below zero. I know you said gloves were an issue with power tools but better that than not being able to feel your fingers. 🥶
i love the leather insert into the drawer, also, because of the slightly grippy properties of the inside of leather- your belongings won't slide around as much. i also like the look of the butcher-blocked top, because it breaks up the rest of the uniform shapes of the veneered wood with a nice contrast. i'm in awe that such professional work was done by someone my age and it's making me excited for the kinds of projects i want to take on!
The sliding lamp video is live: th-cam.com/video/PZl99sqHD30/w-d-xo.html
crazy how i just finished this video and the next is just got posted lol

Hey, how about extending working space by adding a self made shed attached to the garage? It may help you in future projects to have a warmer area in your shop
you’ve definitely become a core memory for that neighbor kid
I kinda hope he finds this video when he's old enough to remember it, and recognizes this guy as his neighbor he used to watch build furniture
@@Crowsieand then he finds this comment thread and is like “Man this is wild!” 😂😂😂
@@gymleaderkeeko6165 and then he finds your comment and he's like "omg man, do these guys have camera's in my room"
Then he stars looking though his room to find the camera
If anyone has watched Inside Out, Miles created a new woodworking island haha.
Oh my god the "by the time I turn the light off, I'm not as sleepy" is TOO fucking real.
FR Solving the real problems in the world with this one
which is why i just go to sleep with it on
This is so relatable
LOL Came to the comments just to write this 😂I have a remote for my WiZ lights for this exact reason lol. Keep the lights on until just before I'm about to pass out, and then I hit the off button on the remote 🤣
like getting up to take a whizz. Sometimes you just suffer and hold it because getting up is waking up
“Solving problems you created” that’s the life of an artist man. I love that all artists no matter what medium share this love of puzzle solving
Could not relate more. I'm a programmer but any passion project goes exactly like this!
@@rolobuilds i'm sure it could be argued that software developers are also artists in a sense
Sounds more like an engineer haha, though I guess you could consider engineers to be artists!
It’s the not artist or engineers it’s both ✨designers✨
Truly an inspiration. Thank you my friend.
the sound effects ,the balance of professionalism with quirky editing , the personality of mike, the talent , the produuction,im sure im missing more but i just love every thing ... i hope you are always motivated to make this content, i hope your college goes well, i hope your tent never leaks
And i hope that his room and pillows are perfectly cool when he goes too sleep
The ending was really sweet. So creative in many ways. Your parents have to be very proud.
Bro's not a woodworker, he's a professional cinematographer
AND woodworker

woodworking is his side quest.
@@andrewgrassette5409 fr
Porque no los dos?
"It's slightly inconvenient to turn off my lamp at night, let's casually build a whole custom nightstand"
It’s the only good option

As a young brit. I appreciated the Celsius.
the project is obviously super nice but the editing, pacing and storytelling of the video are just... chefs kiss
you should watch Gawx Art, that's who he takes ideas/inspiration from.
even the sound scoring is like watching a coming of age movies
I came here for this, no matter what scene or step he was at i just kept reiterating ‘this is some great cinematography/editing’ lol
@@yanzonyoutube as a cinematographer myself, I have no idea how he does it while also making amazing furniture BY HIMSELF.
This is my exact thought. In my head, "Let him cook!!"
What I love is that you solved a problem that a lot of people don’t even notice it’s solvable. Most people just think like “it is what it is” and don’t even think of fixing it but you just went for it. Amazing
How is it solved, the switch is still at the same spot..
Amazing work, Miles. So proud of how far you’ve come with your building and design skills. Now you need an actual shop so you can work rain or shine!
Woodworking, electrical work, videography, story telling! What a skilled young man! Keep the ambitions up
this guy doing all this stuff.... i was watching youtube in college ( i graduated 2019) smh

Let's not forget about the sound composition
This dude hooked me in on a video where he makes a whole nightstand because leaning over a little to turn off his light was too much work for him. This is incredible.
TOTALLY AGREE!!!!
I do pest control and I got a similar respirator. If you can smell it, it may be time to replace that cartridge or check the fit
Def this, at my job we switch between cartridges after 7 days of exposure to air. If you store them in a air tight container when you dont use them will stretch the expiration date.
I’m not 100% sure on this, but I think there are different cartridges for different hazards, fumes, dust etc
@@CptSpears007 Yes there are. I have/use particle filter cartridges for woodworking, and vapour cartridges for painting. The vapour cartridges are impressive for what they block, including 2K paint fumes.
You're a consummate artist! Carpentry, design, filiming, editing - absolutely breathtaking video.
Hearing that you got an extra day because of the ice storm gave me whiplash. My college apartment lost power for four days and I trekked around on solid ice daily to find places with wifi. Great video!
bro never seen you before but you're the goat
like that you let your neighborhood kids watch
The key is to (eventually, with supervision, in appropriate ways) let them help build, as well.
its a cycle of younger kids watching and learnin
I’m sorry but 19:54 - the atmosphere, the camera, the audio, why am I getting chills over a TH-cam video about making a nightstand. Insanely good
same with 23:10
The build is beautiful but that little section was my favourite part of this whole video.
crazy good
Why is no one talking about 25:41

Just want to comment on the editing, pacing and music choice. You absolutely crushed it dude - I'm sincerely taking notes about cuts, shots and editing bits that you used. Super clear that you put a lot of effort in the editing and shows super clearly. Keep up the fantastic work my friend, its super impressive
Rereading this comment - my grammar is attrocious. Im not gonna fix it but I will acknowledge it so I dont seem a complete buffoon
I can't believe that I can get this content for FREE. Absolutely amazing job! I can't wait to see more.
I have never been so happy for a Portland ice storm. I have always learned more from my failures than my 'meets expectations', and you have too. The attention to creating your own furniture style is just wonderful.
I just found this video on my FYP, and I think I have found my new favorite YT woodworker. It is so cool to see someone my age making such amazing stuff + your incredible cinematography skills add so much depth to the video.
Hey! Thanks for checking out my videos. I’m glad other young people are interested in this type of stuff.
“…basically just cardboard covered in fake plastic.” 😂😂😂 I may or may not work for the big blue and yellow box. Beautiful work, both on the woodworking and the video as a whole. Subscribed.
A mix of inspirational DIY, well crafted storytelling that kept me invested, and some beautiful filmmaking and cinematography
This is an amazing video, I can't wait to see what you do next
I love the nightstand, but holy hell do I _love_ that lamp!! I'm definitely going to have to watch your video on how you made that now. 😍
How have I only discovered your channel now!? This is epic work dude, from the idea, the process and craftsmanship to the production of the video too. Seriously top notch work mate, respect
What a great piece of story telling, cinematography and woodworking!
The trailer got me hooked!!! Can’t wait to see this project!
All the thought you put into the designs, like the soft close drawers and the rounded edges on the inside edges just make it so so good
What really makes this video stand out for me from all the other woodworks videos is the feeling of difficulty you get watching this. EVERY other video has always shown people using too professional Tools than I could ever have and make the detail-work look easy. You have shown where the real effort is needed and how much time it REALLY takes to build this nicely.
you are not only an incredible artist and craftsman but an excellent filmmaker and creative. truly amazing and inspiring work
That bbq sauce bottle is ideal wood glue dispenser 🙌
Your videos have been inspiring me! My dad is a hobbyist woodworker (mostly cabinetry) and I was always vaguely interested in it growing up, but I thought it wasn't "creative enough" for me, as an artist. But now as an adult in college, videos like yours have sparked that creative interest I needed to get started! Your amp project blew me away and the cloud chair video made me itch to make a chair for myself! Can't wait to get started soon :)!
This production is great. I loved what you were able to capture with your filming and editing style. From the music choices to the story boarding. I love that you were able to capture some comedy in your editing as well. I loved when you appeared in frame picking up that slab. The lighting was obviously consistently considered even when you had to work with what you had like inclement weather conditions. Great ideas and great story captured beautifully and shared well. This video deserves some kind of certification of quality.
I wish I could watch this again for the first time, it's honestly such an experience to see this unfold!
I can’t express enough how much of a masterpiece this project is, but also the vid itself. I genuinely wish I could watch this for the first time again because it’s just incredible
If someone scoffs at plywood furniture, then they're not a woodworker. Everything has its place. Great job!
I love how dude is still in school but creqting masterpieces like this❤
I wouldn't say they're masterpieces but at least he's trying
@0m3gA_o3 honestly I have seen better but he's still learning and he needs support
@@Jelo_0-99 yup, exactly my point
20:00 "it's -9° C outside, school is canceled"
Meanwhile in Russia: yeah it's -32° C outside.... but it's not -35° though! So we can't cancel the classes, you have to go.
Jokes aside, you guys probably have much warmer climate than we do, so it's understandable that the rules differ for our countries.
Keep up the good work, man, this looks awesome!
This is a crazyy production from a college kid!!!!! The style of this video, and the woodwork!! Whoaaahhhhh!!!! You're so cool dude!
Glad the neighbor kid likes to watch and that you encourage them! That show you set a kid on a path of curiosity! So many people did this for me as a kid and now I have a million hobbies
I’ve only recently come across your content. You’re who I want to be when I grow up. And I’m 38 😂
Your design process is fun to watch and I really enjoy the aesthetic of your work. Can’t wait for the lamp video!
Haha, I had similar feelings and I’m 40. I’m sure this dude will end up being world-class most demanded designer one day. I also like those TH-cam furniture makers who work from their big fully equipped workshops, but there is a special place in my heart for those young people who work from their parent’s driveways dragging tools in and out. And as someone from a country with cold winters, too, I can totally relate to the weather aspects.
Love this project! The design is excellent 👏😌
Pro tip: you should never be pressing on both sides of a blade. That push stick use at 5:40ish was unnecessary and downright dangerous. The cutoff can be allowed to float as you press the main piece past the blade. This prevents kickback, and allows you to focus on one area, which is safer. Before you cut away I saw that left hand reaching for that small piece and winced
Agreed. Hey, @MakeWithMiles, we want you to be able to continue making cool videos and sweet projects. You may want to read up on workshop safety practices. What @threepe0 said is only one of the safety issues I couldn't help but notice during the video. I know it was super cold and you were working outside, but long sleeves while working with power tools and dodgy cuts on the table saw are some things you may want to reconsider. Safety first, last, and always!
I have never been so fully captivated and fascinated by a video about building a nightstand. The music, the editing, the quality, the engineering (as an engineer myself), it's incredible!
You took woodworking into a whole new modern, stylish, story telling, and editing level!!! Appreciate the effort you spend to make us fans happy!!!!
Looking forward to seeing the lamp, that looks fantastic!
27:13 Even Bruce Lee couldn’t take him in his sleep 😄
I just sat through this entire video with a big smile, everything about it was perfect. This is a masterpiece, the story telling, the cinematography, the lighting, the work itself. Just wow.
So much energy, time and material to hide the underlying material and technique. This is an amazing build with plywood. So cool - don’t hide it
Enjoyed everything about this video. Thank you Miles
5:28 What's fake plastic?
Asking the real questions
Glass?? ( or pexi glass but I’m stupid like that)
The cinematography 🤌🏽! Amazing project!
the production value of this video is amazing
This was such an amazing video - from the actual make of the night stand down to the storytelling, editing, and general production quality. Genuinely & truly just good stuff
2:04 A bit of a learning......CURVE......hahahaha
OMG LMAO
Do I need a nightstand? No. Do I know woodworking? No. Did I watch the entire video in one sitting though? Yes.
16:53 I can tell Someone has played Breath of the Wild😂(all the sound effects)
Breath of the wild is goated
Fr!! The flashbacks I got as soon as i heard those noises 😭
You are incredibly talented. Everything from the design, the build, and the cinematography. Whatever you're going to school for, I'm sure will lead to just as much success.
Hey Miles
Another smashing project video to create a sweet night stand
Well done my friend.

JUST MOVE IT CLOSER… 0:39

But that wouldn’t be a cool video! Or an excuse to be creative! Plus, if the final product is better than what was before it, it was worth it.
1:07 was actually super impressive
I love the video, the craftsmanship, the details, design and the way you explain. But, that is the most beautifully over-designed light switch ever ; )
What an absolute joy to watch!! Your creativity and your enthusiasm for your craft is (and I know this word is overused, but it's the only way to label this) an inspiration. For anyone trying to create. Anything! The passion, the persistence, the humor, the highlighting of the highs and lows. Halfway through and I already want to see more, see bigger, see you in 5 years with a giant workspace with even more tools and heating, a sponsor and commissions letting you do what you obviously love. I'm subscribing now so I can brag about this later. Amazing work!!
27:10 What watch brand and model is it? 👀
DDC-200 "TIMEX x DDC Standard Issue Scout Watch" Fifth Edition
21:58 gloves are dangerous yes... but like so are joints that dont work because theyre too cold and stiff. so like thin leather gloves with some of those hot hands warmers and some very cautious table saw cuts, would have been safer I think. yikes.
21:09 dude are you crazy!? With the windchill
It had to be below zero. I know you said gloves were an issue with power tools but better that than not being able to feel your fingers. 🥶
i love the leather insert into the drawer, also, because of the slightly grippy properties of the inside of leather- your belongings won't slide around as much. i also like the look of the butcher-blocked top, because it breaks up the rest of the uniform shapes of the veneered wood with a nice contrast. i'm in awe that such professional work was done by someone my age and it's making me excited for the kinds of projects i want to take on!
i love that you took the time to also make this cinematic
4:37 -> Note to self: Japanese barbecue sauce is a great wood glue
It took me so long to realize that myself
