Hardwood Industries, stand up! Hope Gil is giving you the good guy price ;-)
WestSeven sure is great!
A tour of your fancy modern wood supplier sounds amazing
Thank god it's not another Flexi-Spot Table 😂
Your design and execution is top notch.
Definitely the first woodworking video I’ve watched that has the words “watch me nay nay” 😂. Love the videos and the sick beats!
Another awesome build! Two things i learned from watching this video: I'm really stupid, and I'm not that good at wood working... Its always humbling seeing your finished projects keep up the good work!
Knowledge isn’t power, it’s freedom. Our purpose of life is to understand that no matter what path, or way, we choose to seek our personal nirvana, they all end with the same thing. Paradox. No good/bad, right or wrong, true or false, it’s a both /and .
You are not alone in this thinking, as I recently undertook a design that I came up with for a customer who said “ I want kinda Asian style “. As I worked on it I acquired Japanese tools, and I acquired a different perspective that went from form following function to what would the wood choose? Grain arches, visible defects, and what is a defect but a history lesson of growth? Internal stress and reaction wood. I have that going on in my self.
I learned so much from that build that she wanted my next one, which I just delivered a week ago and it blew me away that I was able to incorporate Red Mulberry lumber into it. The silkworms that feed on that produces the finest silks.
You are as crazy as you want to be, I too am neurodivergent and I figure that you can’t stay centered unless you know where the edges are. I like living on the edges, it’s too crowded in the center.
And I don’t like people who say that I think outside the box, I just just never knew that there was a box.
Love your work/ play. Always a thought provoking time when I tune in to see what you are up to now.
Bill Shakespeare + Bob the Builder = Sawyer the Designer
Whos Bill Shakespeare?
I have no idea what you're talking aboit half of the time in your videos. But thats totally ok! Great build! 😂❤❤
That makes two of us lol thanks!
Fantastic desk Sawyer, the curl in the cherry you picked for the top is beautiful. When you started building I was wishing I had a local place with that much nice cherry thinking all your lumber had the figure. When you built the leg wing it was obvious you selected the best for the top. I've had a desk project in walnut that I stalled out on almost two years ago because I'm not sure I'm confident in the legs. That and I planed through mortise and wedges to attach them and I'm little intimidated. I just poke around in the shop though so all my projects take awhile. I appreciate your sharing your work with us, it is inspirational.
Hardwood Industries is my go-to wood source as well. I've only been getting Plywood and some Poplar for face frames as I build cabinets for my shop. I knew they had 3/4 and some 4/4 in various species, but I meant to ask them last time I was in about thicker sizes. They're always so busy I don't want to waste their time with my lowly home shop questions. Getting a tour and a bit more of the questions asked on behalf of us would be fantastic.
Your work is so amazing! You have a gifting from God! I really enjoy your comments on what you’re thinking and why it needs to be done in this manner. Not many people have both the artistic talent along with the talent to create the piece yourself. Sometimes I think you’re starting out as a Picasso not ending up a a Rembrandt mixed with a Frank Loyd Write! Thank you!
Tour of the wood dealer would be awesome! And yes, Cherry is most certainly an awesome and under-appreciated wood.
What a treat! Thanks, as always!
"if you haven't guessed, I'm a little weird"... nah dude, you're a lot weird but also one of the best and most entertaining woodworkers on TH-cam! luv ur vids.
Tour of that hardwood suppliers warehouse!! That sounds wild!!
Philosophical phurniture - I love it
Gorgeous!!! The desk, not you, but you’re teddy bear cute too. Really enjoyed watching the process.
Gorgeous design. Thank you so much for sharing with us!
For the love of god please film a tour of that supplier it sounds amazing
Glad to see I am not the only one with a Hammer combo jointer/planer that has to do massive cleanup with the dust collector after I am done.
I'm getting mid-century modern vibes off of that. Very cool - as usual.
The table looks great! Thanks for sharing your knowledge, talent, and your philosophical thoughts on life.
Really nice design! Happy computering!
I enjoy following your design process. Thank you for sharing. As for the philosophical elements: keep them coming. I spend quite a bit of time pondering some of the same topics. Regardless of the means of "enlightenment" the willingness to strive/search for betterment is always worth the effort. Once again, thank you. Oh, and the desk is wonderful.
Nick, beautiful desk, dude. Naturally, my wife walked in and said, "OMG, that's awesome..." so I think I have a Future Matt project. Somebody's probably already taken you to task on that jank-asstic gucci move of doing the desktop on the router table, so I'll let you risk your fingers some more.
Please do keep putting your philosophic reflections in these videos. You're on the right track, man. It's not totally related to your content here, but I'd highly recommend you explore some of the Stoics (Marcus Aurelius, ofc, because he's the OG Stoic). I suspect you'd like that once you're nearing the end of your quasi-Buddhist reflections... if you haven't already.
Knowledge =/= understanding. Word. Wish more people could think their way to that... understanding level.
Great design! Beautiful execution. As always Thank you for sharing. I learn a ton just from watching you.
"Any fool can know. The point is to understand." - Albert Einstein // Facts only provide the most shallow description of our world. Children get it, when they continuedly ask "Why?" as they seek to go beyond mere facts and understand why. I love to watch groups of people at the mall, or airport, or wherever and find someone whose behavior doesn't make sense, then try to figure out why. Great build, love the use of cherry. No idea why people poo-poo cherry anymore, some of the most beautiful furniture I've ever seen is made out of cherry.
Very interesting and visually stunning design. Really highlights the beauty of the cherry, too!
♥️♥️♥️ if I had a computer desk like that, I might actually give up my iPad and get a real computer! Love it!!
Very nice build and video. I really like the lower shelf for the computer equipment to make it accessible, but tucked away, and that integrated upper shelf/monitor riser is really smart and functional.
Thanks man! The amount of I/O for all the editing and audio stuff is ridiculous. Thinking it came out pretty tidy considering the miles of cables that you’d never know are there.
Hella slick! Really like the shelf under the top for tech mounting.
I’d appreciate it if you stop speaking so highly of cherry. I love using it and don’t want it to become the next white oak. I like the price where it is. 😅
Yes I agree 100%
Excellent work! I enjoy watching you work and the techniques you employ. Keep the videos coming please.
yes youre leaving furniture, but its definitely art too. you make amazing things.
Awesome build! I'm digging the soundtrack. Can you share the music?
Awesome build man
😊
Your wood distributer sounds awesome. As a woodworker that moved about 400 miles, finding a "go to" wood source, was my biggest hurdle. Also, couldn't agree more about Cherry! It's affordability and beauty make it my fav of late, although not crazy about how much and how easily it burns. I'm currently making a desk with it right now, even though I moved 2 years ago. Progress....slow progress...
Absolutely rad Nick. Love the design. Great work.
Thanks man! Glad you liked it
The psychonaut furniture guy has another banger video. Sweet.
🚀
Philosophy and wood working are like mortise in tenon, I love the life advice
incredible workmanship, but I'm not gonna lie. I'm liking the video for the cat content
I’ve had the thought that a Camvac 90L might benefit your dust collection ability in a small shop. I thought that when you mentioned the over the blade last video and now watching you clean up the hammer
Great looking desk, the design hits it !
Fantastic build, that cherry looks beautiful!!! Awesome video, great beats, editing, and commentary!!! I bet it would be fun to chill and talk with you, stay Awesome brother!!!
Tour of wood supplier. Yes, please!
Très joli travail, beau design.
It’s a beautifully functional table and excellent material selection. I would love to see the table raise and lower.
Poetry reminded me of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Lol jk
But the function to the form of the desk is beneficial to the patella that will never be hit as opposed to other desks. Great build!
Nice content.
I'd be curious if the titanium layer of those chisels would clog up the CBN wheels I use.
+1 for a tour. Also, the difference between knowledge and understanding is the same is the difference between education and intelligence, I think. Knowledge without understanding leads to ignorance running rampant with an air of hubris and pride.... and is unfortunately all too common.
Have you tried if it actually comes back to you if you throw the desk?
Awesome build, Nick!
Looks dope.
Buddhist woodworking…gotta love it!!
Weird, for lack of a better word, is good. Weird works.
We got to hide those cables in the wall. Would look even better! Lowe’s has a super easy diy kit.
Perfect job, thank you so much for great video
Hey my pleasure! Thanks so much for watching
Reminds me of the work of George Nakashima. Very nice.
The Boomerang desk looks great.
Thanks! And thanks for watching 🙏🏼
I’m just waiting for you to tell us all about a ayahuasca retreat that you just got back from.
Which one? 😉
Roses are red violets are blue, poetry is hard, woodwork…. Awesome build as always, PEACE!✌️
Hahaha yours wins. Thanks Shaun!
a fairly simple design complicated by your nerdy brain, brilliant more please.
Very interesting. Not my taste but that’s irrelevant. I think it would be helpful to many if you could tell us, particularly on pieces not for sale, what the timber cost and how many hours of labour you spent. A son is evolving from joinery to fine furniture and he finds it difficult to predict costs. The long term way is experience but, in the meantime, others such as you saying that piece had timber costing $2000 and took 48 hours would accelerate that process.
Love it!!
Big man amazing video as usual
I might have to watch it a few times to get the philosophy tho
Greetings from Scotland 🏴
Intro music is definitely Nas X call me by your name
Slow down that wisdom, my woodcrafting brethren.
Great build btw, thanks for sharing!
Always some of my favorite videos! Gorgeous work! What finish are you spraying? Just curious.
Nice table, you could have used your Shaper to cut your patch.
Totally could have! Might have been faster, but I love an opportunity to use a chisel
Love your work! I wanted to echo your discussion about knowledge and understanding. As a college prof for many years, this is something many of us emphasized to our students. That first one must acquire knowledge and what they do with that may or may not lead to understanding. IN many things. Maybe the same is true of creativity. One can copy someone else's design (for anything) over and over and be really good at it but never achieve anything creative. Just my 2 cents.
Amazing
Nice work! Thank you for sharing your process. May I ask what CAD software are you using? ☮️
Loved this desk. I like the psychology/zen, but I am drinking bourbon while watching and they aren't compatible. I am a fan of cherry. I love that it stain nice and I love the natural look too. I'd put something in uneven light just to see what happens. Keep doing you.
Love watching your videos, your work always feels like it is pushing creativity in furniture design. Also do you have a track listings for the music ? thanks
Awesome project, can you share where you got the leather tool belt holder? Thanks!
Lovely table. Have you got some similarly interesting projects to use and not waste the offcuts ?
Great project, really enjoyed watching the skill involved 👍 beautiful end result.
But, about the 30min mark I put it on silent, the carry on voice over was a bit to much for me.
OMG! The gouch in the worlbench😮😅
Haha right?! Ugh. Such a new guy move.
Does having a massive (heavy) work piece help with any potential catching situations with the router? It looked like quite a challenge getting it moved around and a big potential for kickback, or whatever the router version is.
Hey brother, what benchtop jointer/planer would you recommend for a beginner wood worker like myself? Those are the last 2 essentials I need besides finding a good lumber supplier.
A lie Nielsen no.7 or 8. Honestly, unless you’re just making tea boxes, a bench top jointer won’t get the job done. A hand plane would be better and faster for edge jointing. You can get by face jointing on a planer for a while with a sled. The dewalt is well thought of. I’ve had great luck with ridgid and the lunchbox style will serve you better than the big dewalt in the future as you get into thinner stock milling and veneer work 👍
Soo Beutifull, but question just for lear, why you don't use Rubio Monocoat?
When did you replace the Harvey? How do you like the Sawstop in comparison?
Great work as always. Your craftsmanship is second to none.
Q: why did you use the router table with the flush bit instead of a handheld router?
Much appreciated! Used the router table Mostly because the bit was already in there and the deed is less dusty. Handheld edge work is so messy
When will you and Bourbon Moth be doing a collaboration? you two are so close to each other this needs to happen.
Curious about your choice of finish?
Anyone else hear YYZ dusting the chisel section around 22:30?
17:52 ah so the gaps between the panels are relatively normal huh? They drive me crazy during glueups but thankfully my glueups always turn out ok. I suppose this is why
Table is awesome but are all your videos filled with the talks of mastery / enlightenment stuff? If so, I'll probably still watch just have to turn sound off from time to time but it just caught me off guard bc I was expecting just woodworking lol.
I’d like to see a tour of the lumber supplier. I do like cherry it is a nice looking wood. I hate that walnut is so popular now because I do prefer its more brown hues. Unfortunately I live in Florida where it doesn’t grow as well so it’s “imported” and therefore more expensive. The pieces I’ve been able to buy that are local or quite smaller
If it’s any consolation, all our Oregon walnut goes to Asia and we import eastern walnut too 😂
Love it, particularly the lines. But curious, did you really need dominos in the stub tenons. Or was the knock down joinery a necessity. Why not just glue, and save the maths?
When your writing on the table top...what type of surface is that?
I need a better solution versus a white board.
Any particular reason that you wrestled to move the massive desk around the stationary router table rather than let the desk sit still and move the router?
27:24 you aren’t losing your mind. I’m in the same situation and my therapist assures me that this is a very common affliction for people of our age; people who have achieved some semblance of balance and are looking towards the next chapter. It is a hard time, but history suggests that you and I will both muddle through.
I just realized that the insert in your planer cuts down the time raising and lowering the table. I have the same A31 combo and it's kind of a pain in the ass to constantly adjust the table. What's the size of that insert? I'd love to build one myself
Awesome build, really enjoy your videos, explanations, all done very well. Question, you have a jointer/ planer hammer, why so many chips? I think you need a bigger more powerful dust collector, switched mine to a Oneida with a 6” duct to a 5” duct at the machine cleared up the issue. Oneida are you watching! Stay safe
Hey thanks! My DC is completely underpowered. Oneida would be the dream. Also been checking out the big gyro from Harvey given my 8’ ceilings. Those big high suction oneidas and clearvu might need a skylight to fit 😂
@@SawyerDesign check with Oneida I think it will fit in 8’ ceilings. I like the Harvey, just looks like it needs emptied often. Really enjoy the videos. Stay safe
Random thought early in watching the video; while solid wood is nice, have you considered doing a torsion box for this kind of 'space hungry' design and then veneering? OK; back to watching...
Sheesh I looked up those chisels, $1500! Too rich for my blood as a big newbie. I'd be afraid to use such expensive chisels anyway ;)
Unless they never need sharpening, I don't see any chisel set being worth close to that.
Nice job!...Your quality of work is impressive. Btw, where can I get that drilguide with dust collection at?
Festool 👍🏝️🇨🇦
@@troyqueen9503 I dont see it on Festool website. The have one , but it is different.
I'm very interested in your hardwood supplier.
I see Cherry, Thank you, something that isn't White Oak.
