I like the vibe of hanging out in the shop with you. I'm still fairly new to woodworking, so I feel like I'm learning a ton by just hanging out. Cheers!

I'm glad to see i'm not the only person that gets interrupted by neighbors when I'm working in the garage! It is tough to know how to balance the "hangin with Nick" vibe with the "Instructions and lessons" stuff. I like your sense of humor so I appreciated what you did in this video. I am significantly less experienced that you so please keep the lessons learned inside the videos. As long as I can learn from you and you do these crazy interesting projects I'll be here. Your creativity is very motivating. Thank you!

Support Nick through his Patreon!! Nick's videos have been both very entertaining and informative. i have really appreciated the builds and commentary. I recently discovered that Nick has a Patreon account that he has not mentioned in his videos. I emailed Nick and questioned him about why he has not publicized his Patreon account. He informed me that he has not spoken about his Patreon account because he does not believe he has time to create the extra content that Patreon subscribers may expect. He does not want to put himself in a situation where people sign up but get disappointed by not having extra content provided to them. Clearly, it takes a lot of time for Nick to do his builds because not only is he doing fine craftsmanship, but also has to adjust lighting, move cameras, record audio, etc. I am told by other content creators that editing can take even more time than the actual builds. It stands to reason that he is concerned about not having time to create extra content. I am encouraging my fellow subscribers to Nick's channel to join his Patreon so that we can ensure he has the financial ability to continue to turn out great content. I do not have a personal relationship with Nick, so I feel very comfortable asking other subscribers to financially support him. That being said, I do have a selfish reason for asking you to sign up for his Patreon; specifically, I get so much enjoyment from his videos that I want to make sure he keeps them coming as often as possible by financially rewarding him for the content he makes.

I have to say, you are one of the more creative woodworkers out there. I have been doing this for decades, your designs inspire me.

Production comments: I like the pacing of this one, along with the more extensive verbalization of your thought processes when you encounter a design problem or a challenge in the execution. I can imagine how I would approach it and have a "conversation" with you about how to overcome the particular issues. I also really appreciate that you showcase your mistakes, both for humor and to humanize yourself. You have earned the incredibly rare and coveted notification bell! Woodworking comments: you are an absolute artist and you really inspire me to just get down to my shop and challenge myself to make more beautiful things by just saying "f**k it, just go for it, you can always get more wood..." Somebody recently asked me if I had the money laying around, who I would commission a piece of furniture from and I instantly replied that it would be you. Keep up the awesome work.

Actually Nick you are one of my favorite U Tubers of all. Keep up the great work man

I am hooked. Can't see enough. Insperation is hard to express, but you do.

i agree with many other comments here - i love the vibe of the videos but mostly the super informative explanations how/why you do certain things with design and execution. the quality of your videos has been great for a long time and i look forward to your updates!

Every thing you build is amazing Great teacher Thanks

I really appreciated the lower speed so that I actually understand what you're doing! I really love the stuff you make!

I like the pacing, and the details of what, why and most importantly how you did stuff. I also liked the logic processes you explained. It imparts learnings.

Nick, I do like the shop-hangout approach, and your mental path process... which of course leads you to whatever outcome will be the hardest, most masochistic build possible. Also laughed at each 'neighbor interruption.' Happens to me constantly, and they never seem to notice that I'm speaking through gritted teeth. Looking forward to your future videos, especially that arched Roubo. And yes, when necessary, Bondo is Magical Elf Poop.

Wow! your designs and workmanship are exactly what I was looking for. You’re like the fine woodworking of youtube. Thanks for all the info and inspiration.

New to your channel so far 👍👍 I am definitely still consider myself a rookie I was able to do it for a Few years on a daily basisThen I lost my place to be able to do itSo I haven't been able to make anything in a couple of years ☹️ But still love watching and finding new people to watch

Every time I come check out a video my mind is blown. Your design skills are top notch with execution to match. I really enjoyed the creative process behind the design. I struggle myself with that as I’m sure a lot do.

I love watching how you experiment with your videos trying to find your creative voice and niche. You are doing an amazing job of injecting your playful personality into the videos and it keeps me coming back for more.

First time here. Now I have to backtrack to get caught up!! I tell you if I had a wood working shop, I would not need a home!!!!

I'm digging where this is going. You will love the freedom your drum sander will give you... Being able to dial in down to .001" is an incredible advantage when you are bending tight curves.

Yes bro, another upload.

This is THE vibe we need! The faster paced stuff is great in moderation but most of us are here for you not just the woodworking. So these longer form videos are top tier, they just hit a little different ya know! Your shorts are the place to put some super fast paced stuff I think, and then mix some medium-form content into your main stuff! It can be anything though and I'd watch so maybe I'm biased.

I love the train of thought behind this project. Can't wait for the finish. enjoy watching you never disappointed.

I appreciate your explanations and humor. I was sitting there for like 4 seconds on the banana comment before it dawned on me :-) . Keep up the creativity!

I enjoy watching your videos and have been a subscriber for a few months now. I just want say I think you do some truly fantastic work. I like how you explain where and how you get your inspiration. I also like to see that you have mistakes too and like to see how you resolve them.

New life plan. Become millionaire soon, order full bedroom set from sawer designs make all my friends jealous over my cool bedroom furniture.

I enjoyed the woodshop vibe of this installment of the dark and sultry dresser project. I've designed and built projects for many years, but your designs have helped me to think beyond my comfort zone. Thanks for the inspiration and I can't wait to see what the next installment has to offer. Also, I like watching corgis on social media feeds. They have the best expressions ever!

Congrats on the drum sander! Makes veneer sizing and smoothing a lot easier for sure! One thing to note, not sure what your dust collection set up is, but having a good cyclone will make your life so much easier. I haven't got on on mine and when sanding veneers I need to FREQUENTLY stop and bang out the filters or the suction just plummets. Or just live somewhere you can open the overhead doors in winter haha. I like the design process insights, thats an area where I feel I struggle.

i dig the design Nick

Hype for this build. You make me want to get into laminating now!

3:03 "happy shark do do, do do do do" Thanks for getting this in my head Nick 😂

When I started watching this I was like - "I don't have time to watch this 30 minute video, I'll watch part now and part later". But here I am having watched the whole thing - it was that engaging. So I guess I like this format lol. From a 'other creators' perspective, I think you are probably the most creative in this space, and I like Four Eyes style as well.

Excellent work so far as always! Thanks for sharing the process.

Im a Brit, and I can honestly say, Ive never said that ! 😂

Super stoked for what's coming! Nothing but inspirational vibes, man! You've got me hooked like a tweaker on prom night!

Besides all of the cool work you do, the editing and the music you use is just awesome. Love this channel!

Love this project. The wave base came out so nice. Thank you for all the details too. I have to imagine it’s a lot to record, so it’s definitely appreciated.

I've always been a bit leery of including curves in my designs, but this has me thinking, what the hell go for it. You'll love the drum sander.

The grain wrap on the base is incredible. Your designs really make your work stand out.

Awesome simple explanation and illustration of your design approach (obviously distilled already) of the piece.

Nice work, really enjoy your videos.

Awesome video

Nice addition to the shop! Love the channel Broski ❤️

Cool!

looks awesome!!

This has been your best video so far, its amazing how fast you are improving in your video editing. Your content is so refreshing compared to some of the other woodworking KZfaqrs out there. You bring in fresh concepts and design elements that seem genuine. Perhaps I'm just a sucker because I'm a marine biologist, so a shark inspired design resonates with me. Keep up the good work!

Doing some awesome veneer work.

I know how hard you try to not be wasteful, so have you considered investing in bandi-clamps, that was you’re not wasting all that tape (and time)? As always, blown away by your work!

Love it!

Amazing!!

I have scene the dresser in the background for a while and have been looking forward to seeing come to the forefront. This video did not disappoint! I felt all the stress of that glue up, and when your neighbor came over to tell you about your dog right before the base made it into the bag, "I mean, thanks for telling me, but do you see what I'm doing here??!!" Needless to say, you're getting good at this whole KZfaq thing and I'm super excited to see the end result of this build. I also think that one day I'll be building me a Split Top Sawyer.

I appreciate all of your videos, however, I really enjoy the videos that have your thought process. It helps teach my newbie woodworking brain critical thinking and woodworking problem-solving. As for creators I watch, you, Cam, Paul Sellars, anything handtool woodworking, and perspective drawing. Trying to learn how to sketch my design ideas. As always, thank you for your videos and your time!!

The veneering reminds me of boat building with cold-molded planking.

Hi. Another awesome build and detailed video. Thank you. Regarding that Makita sander... I use to use that same one, but for some reason I kept getting electrical shocks. Nothing major, just super annoying. I later found out, it's built with no ground wire. I eventually got tired of getting shocked, and coming up with multiple creative ways to ground the machine. I bit the bullet and bought a Festool Rotex 150. I not only gives me all the sanding power of the Makita, but has amazing dust collection that the Makita doesn't. In addition, I no longer get shocks when sanding as it integrates so well with the CT Midi dust vacuumed. I strongly recommend not waiting as long as I did to fix this issue. But if your not getting shocks, let me know how your using it, and I can try that out too. Thanks.

Hey there! I became a fan in the first video I saw like a year ago, more or less. In a huge fan of the work you do. I just wanna say hello and tell you that I watch your video from a little place called San Vicente Chicoloapan in the state of Mexico. Keep doing what you love!

I thought it might fun to watch this one too. Actually all of them fun n stuff. Inspired by your work building and editing. Washington DC I’m an amateur diyer with a 12x12 shop in progress.

Your thought procees is definately on a different level. Really enjoy each of your new projects!

Spectacular! Can't wait to see the completed piece. Also, I definitely like hearing your design/construction thoughts and processes.

I loved everything about this latest video 1. Content: gorgeous concept and design as usual 2. Editing: Excellent! Brilliant pacing and a nice mix of showing things in real time and time lapse etc 3. Hilarious! The banana comment had me rolling! Thank you! Can't wait for part 2!

Shop time is definitely more fun 😊 waiting for split top roubo it's gonna be so cool, also this design is definitely gonna be a apex predator of all the furniture in the house

2 great New Zealand content creators I like to watch. Scott Brown Carpenter and Joey at Kingpost woodworking

Leonardo da Vinci !!!

Another great video thanks. I really enjoy watching Drew Fisher from Fishers Shop

Gettin dang close to that 100k early congrats 😁🤜🏻

Love the content. Super excited for the next parts!

Amazing work, Nick! It's looking stunning! 😃 Looking forward to see part 2! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Love everything about this video. Even though I know absolutely nothing about woodworking and all the jargon I love watching you make amazing, beautiful pieces. Really interesting also love videos when the creator talks it's nice, it's more personal. Like how you took us through your thought process for the design, which is awesome and it's going to be so cool. Looking forward to part two.

Congrats on the drum sander. Great video about all the trials of design (the part I dislike the most), "except for sanding". Can't wait to see the finished product, it's going to be fantastic.

Nick those compound curves on that base are looking so good. I’m digging the feel of this video too man

Really nice work Nick!

Shes a beaut!

Great video! having trouble finding part 2

This was a good format, love the designs. Table would look great in our mid century modern house with exposed cedar rafters throughout.

That's some crazy stuff. I dig it!

you are an amazing carpenter, I admire the beauty of your work!!! 🔥🔥❤

Love the design of this table. The swoosh at the end of the curve looks damn good

It's tragic to hear the metal post wasn't strong enough for Cam's slab, but serious style points on making a base that looks incredible. You've definitely inspired me to do some bent lamination, I just need the right project and idea to come along! So happy this video finally came out and I'm looking forward to all 10 parts!

Very nice work. I like the unconventional designs you come up with. Not always my cup of tea but I admire the craft and skill that goes into bringing your ideas to life. Well done!

I was today years old when I saw a dresser ride a surf board.

Awesome design Nick going to be a fantastic piece when you are finished as per usual 👍

Nick, I love your videos and I think you are hilarious. I'm pretty sure you fell on your head a lot as a child. Would I ever want to build or own one of your designs? Probably not. At 63, if I put some of this stuff in my house, my wife and kids would think that I've started smoking a lot of weed. That being said, I always learn something, and for that I offer you many thanks.

This is insanely creative, and gorgeous! I’ve been a big fan of your woodworking for a while, it’s really different and I’m glad to see there’s a KZfaqr still doing build videos and not just tool comparisons and “top x” videos. Curious, what kind of camera and lens are you mainly using? The shots are super clear and the lighting setup is always on point. I’m looking to upgrade and your images are quality 🤌🏼

Love it! Keep them coming!

Awesome as always, loved this pace.

I'll be curious if you still have that lock set to 5 minutes. We used to do 10min, and I got so frustrated with being out in the garage just longer than I thought while doing something, being in a rush and coming back to a locked door. They are amazing either way, I absolutely love not needing to carry keys, nor coming home after hours away to facepalm because you realize you didn't lock the house.

I love this video style, but the switching in video speed gives me anxiety (the good kind) because traditionally people slow down to show a fail about to happen, but in your case it’s 50/50 great vs disaster (please don’t check my math on that). Keep up the amazing work and please keep sharing.

thats dope. definitely the right call on the edge, first one would have been too arts n crafts for the contemporary style. You and Pedulla studio are my favourite woodworking content creators, check him out if you haven't already!

‘Apex predator in the bedroom’….funny! And I dig the speedy editing. I can honestly say I have never seen a dresser like this and it is looking awesome! Can’t wait for part 2!

Love the vibe!

The trim router moment is when I got nervous for you. I think it's time for you to meet my friend the "bastard file". Once you learn the cutting and smoothing techniques you'll fall in love with it's abilities and add it to your hand tool collection.

The moment he said " dark and light side" made me think of one thing and then I thought light saber and then I went on Amazon and bought a light saber for 60$ and it will be here in a couple days 👍🤯

The problem with urea formaldehyde is off gassing. It releases gas for years. Probably not the best choice for a bedroom.

Great video again. Interested to see how that drum sander works for you.

You're hilarious! 10:49: "Looks like a rather large condom" - 12:19 "should've practiced on a banana 🍌 first" - 12:27 "let's go make some cancer" 🤣🤣 I enjoying watching you work and figuring out stuff . But I definitely love your style and craftsmanship. The projects too of course. Safety 3rd🥉 -- Thanks for sharing!

👍👍👍👍

I dig the hang out. I'm new to woodworking and you hybrid hand tool/powertool style is really where I am hoping to end up. You seem like you give a shit.

Definitely like this video style, it's like being in your garage with you😁 The curved base is looking great, first time I have been looking forward to seeing a dresser. Also very much appreciate the information about how you do your design process, its very helpful and will be trying to apply as much as I can learn from you to design my custom work in the future. I have watched a buch of other makers and you are the best by far. Currently working on my first advertising peice that you inspired and will send you some pictures when its complete... might make a little video for it also. Very curious to hear who are some makers you like?

a great job and not looking forward to seeing the final result, I love the imagination you have to design your work... one question, why have you chosen to edge the base edge first before the top face? great job friend😊

I'm glad I discovered your channel. This video and the completion of the dresser video were both highly entertaining to watch. I quite like your editing style and the use of music throughout this video. The music amplifies the video quality and your vocals are still clear and easy to follow. Also, your Simply Safe ad read was so well done that I didn't realise it's not really part of the project until halfway through. I just have a two part question though: how many rolls of blue tape did you use and are you considering being sponsored by 3M? 😂

I'm curious how this is going to come out...strange but interesting direction. Nice video bud!

I’ve been waiting for this video for what seems like forever. It sucks that stand didn’t work with that massive slab. It almost makes sense why it didn’t but I’m not in your shoes and your designs are your designs. Just not the right fit. Either way it was an awesome base.
