I can't believe you don't have more exposure than you do. I watch a lot of wood working channels and your videos are just as high quality if not significantly better than some of these bigger channels
It's amazing the people that RU-vid promotes. There's a guy's out there with five times more exposure that can't even do a simple Mill down and glue up.
I build custom furniture for highly satisfied customers...And you make me want to throw all my woodworking tools away, lol. Attention to detail and precision is insane!
This is some pretty impressive craftsmanship, self taught or not this is awesome work! As for the OCD factor, I have to admit to more than a few anxiety inducing moments. This has been the case throughout my 40 plus years in the building trades, if I'm having a rough time making something come together it manifests in dreams of not being able to get something right after countless attempts. You seem to thrive at this and that my friend is no small feat! Great job, as always!
Nick, this is amazing. This is Yoda-level craftsmanship, and 900 years he had to master his craft. I had zero desire to work with veneer before watching some of your videos and now I am sold as the end result is next level. Thank you!
“Pull out. Shave. Put it back in.” Needs to be your next shirt :) Awesome work as always man. You and Pedulla Studio are the top two woodworkers on RU-vid in my opinion
Absolutely beautiful and unique piece. As you were talking about the blue shark color contrast in my head for a split second I was like oh dear god please tel me he’s not painting walnut blue! Hahaha idk why my brain thought that but the end result you truly nailed what you described throughout the video👍
Brilliant & Beautiful. Seemingly endless talent. Sick to death of watching craftsmen run their CNCs. Thank you for your efforts in creating this piece with your HANDS. Awesome! You sir are 1 in a million.
Brother that six month build time paid off 100 fold. Wow! This piece is truly magnificent. And. All this brilliance without formal training. You are becoming a wise ol' master craftsman. Really. Awesome!
Nick, as a new PDX Webfoot subscriber, I enjoy your excellent lighting, audio and superb editing skills not to mention woodworking design skills that I am learning a lot from, to improve my woodworking experience. Thank you!
Wow! Nick. Knocked another one out of the park. I'll have to admit I wasn't seeing it until it all came together in the end and it is awesome. Just goes to show the depth of your vision to see this result in your mind and to step your way through to get there. Bravo!
Your pieces are simply jaw dropping! I watched about 4 hours of your videos yesterday and completely agree with the Gremlin - the videos are put together as well as the pieces, and that's saying a LOT. Looking forward to whatever you produce next.. doesn't matter.. could be a spoon.
Another jaw dropping piece! I love that you keep in your mistakes to explain how you fixed them or not. I also like your sound track. Can't wait to see what's next.
Great work. 90% of the woodworkers on RU-vid are hacks who build epoxy table tops. Little to no actual wood working ability. Such a pleasure to watch your channel and Pedulla Studio.
Nick, there is only one word to explain the dedication and delivery of this talent you have ... beautiful. Bravo from a man who is a "wanna be", your talent is awesome.
I have to say I have been in awe of your skill. A couple of your peices I was like wtf but this one is mind blowing the final peice is so beautiful. Congrats just wow
Fantastic build. I loved the new video style compared to some of the older videos you've put out. Make more like this, and I'll watch every one of them.
Thanks Aaron! Slowly figuring out how to do this video stuff. Appreciate you sticking out the stinkers with me lol definitely will keep moving toward big quality designs over quantity of shit.
gotta be honest, woodworking will never stop seeming silly to me, but this here is more art than trade, and I can really respect it. the paraffin on the drawers was actually just completely genius too. and the editing is by far the best I've ever seen on any woodworking content - seems like you're a true artist. good shid man.
I wholeheartedly agree with the struggle, especially with myself, with challenging that discomfort from imperfection. There’s oddly a large amount of growth with practicing this. Great video.
What an incredible piece of art. Congratulations to your wife for completing her residency. Congratulations to you for the enjoyable video and amazing build.
You know Nick, we look back at the magnificent rooms in centuries old spectacular homes, castles and mansions. Hand carved mantels with carvings of lions, cherubs, etc. Intricate doors of immense size and detail, acres of raised panels with hand carved dental work and coffered ceilings. I (we) wonder how did they do that with the simple tools of their time to such exacting precision which have lasted for centuries? They'll be wondering the same about your artistry many years from now. :)
Ammmazing you have an eye for design when I start watching I stay till the end. I’m a 51 yr old newbee people like you inspire me to go for it. I’ll never have your perfection but if I can stretch my imagination and watch more films like Nemo maybe I Can take a little pride in satisfaction
Nick! Your videos keep getting better and better! Love the design. I’ve always struggled with the right handle. You hit it dead on brother! More content please. Can’t seem to get enough of your work!
I have read many of the comments posted below and they all follow a theme; that you are a master at your craft and are truly inspiring. I am a lifelong "basement" woodworker and I follow all of the major woodworkers on the platform and you are surely under-rated. Btw, you also have a nice sense of humor. Many You-Tubers try too hard to be funny but you add a small bit of humor that doesn't distract from your professionalism. P.S. I want to see your wife. Not in a perverted sort of way but after the loss of your son and the way you talk about her, she must be a sweet woman!
A mind blowing piece of a) design work & b) construction skills & techniques. Your conceptual work & construction skills put way up at the top of the elite level of woodworkers. Given that you are a self taught woodworker makes it all the more amazing. I sort of feel lost for words to describe the beauty, skill & sheer artistry of your work my friend. Keep up your fantastic work & videos. Stay safe & well, Don from South Aust.
Magnificent. What an amazing piece of work. I have enough trouble getting my rectilinear pieces to fit up properly. LOL. I enjoy your videos immensely.
Beautiful piece! I struggle with design and implementation but that 1% better every day really got my attention and I like that mode of thinking. Thanks for that little gem.
As an avid consumer of youtube woodworking videos I will say that this is the most complex and beautiful piece of furniture I've seen so far. I wish i could click the like button more than once. Keep up the good work.
love the "in the weeds" vibe of this video. I feel like other builders make vids showcasing errors in projects, but this one is unique in the way that it puts you in that moment to moment decision (and indecision!) making that always goes on in a complicated creative project. ton of raw skill on display here dude, serious props 🤌
I have said it many times before (never on RU-vid) Nick, but you are an absolute artist and master craftsman. Beautiful piece. Keep smoking it bro!! W Always loving your work and what you create in your shop!
Your furniture style you build in is not my favorite style, however your furniture builds are my favorite. You do such an amazing job. I had no idea wood could be so beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Amazing woodworking, always fun to watch your work and unwind a crappy work week. I wish you posted a video every Friday, now I am being selfish. May you be blessed always 🙏
Out of all the woodworking channels on RU-vid you truly are the most talented… Your designs are amazing as are your skills! Keep up the great work brother! 🤘🏼
10:08 The irregular width shiplap slats drive my OCD crazy...you got me with that one. I too think the hidden surfaces (back and bottom) deserve as much attention as the show surfaces. I try to build so that the person that moves the furniture says 'oh, look at that unusual hidden detail'.
I've been waiting for this video, but man... I still wasn't prepared for this piece of art. I'm blown away by the level of detail and creativity in both the dresser and the video!
Here I am again. Although I don't leave comments on videos, here I am for the second time doing it on this channel. Again, this is the most underrated video channel on the entire platform. Ask me if I follow all the woodworking channels... yes of course and this one is by far the best. The level of insanity here is at its maximum. It is the kind of creative madness that is given directly from God to the few. I am 60 years old (although my profile picture does not indicate such a thing), I am a teacher with rich experience, a fan of the art of working with wood. And with all my experience, discovering talented young people for decades, I can safely say that you are the most talented woodworking artist on the entire RU-vid platform.
A suggestion for a video. Besides the eye-opening, jaw dropping designs and builds, I am simply amazed at the ribbons you are able to create planing, regardless of which plane or spokeshave you use. I saw a brief glimpse of your sharpening station in this video, but I think it would be very beneficial to many of your viewers if you could make a video on your sharpening process, with anecdotal information on plane setup and use. Many thanks!
I am in awe…. The way you can visualise and design such complex builds and then build them with such perfection is beyond my understanding. I struggle with simple angles, what you do is just beyond the normal capabilities of anyone else. You should have many many more followers.
Absolutely amazing results. I love the juxtaposition of a breathtaking form with such a simple function: calling it a dresser is accurate, but also falls short of the piece. I also hate that one piece of ash on the back, but I love what it represents and why you included it. You are such an inspiration. Best of luck in the exhibition!
I asked you once why you thought the furniture you made was worth 30k but after continuing to watch you videos and understanding the process how much passion and effort you put into these I have started the slow down and quit rushing my process I see how much effort you put and time and I appreciate your woodwork I have much to learn !! So to give you a Guage as to how far along I am into woodworking thecutting board I made for my wife I think is worth at least 1k... lol keep up the good work man love your videos
Time and time again I am blown away by the artistic level, and skill you display. Truly one of the gems of youtube, and the woodworking community. Also, bonus points for making me bust out laughing with the t-shirt! Love it!
You young man are a "Monster". School trained, self trained does not matter. Your skill set is right at the top with the best. The construction and video work of this project is epic! You are also the one guy that can merge video and backing tracks perfectly. Cutting your track saw track in two to fix the mistake, well that was classic. Done something like that before! lol!! Buying some T Shirts indeed. From an old guy, your work is nothing less than exceptional.
You must have 100 hours alone in the edit of this. Outstanding. I can only echo what others have said.. you deserve much more recognition hence my comment. Algorithm n all
