Thanks for taking the time to watch! Appreciate you all ✌️ ~Nick

First off, your music choice is top-fucking-notch, mon ami. Second, your little philosophical diatribes and conversational perambulations around life, craft, emotion, dendrology, art, and our relationship with art, etc... are a solid third of what makes your videos so great, followed by your actual woodworking and a list of items from there. Keep doing you, brother. It's always a treat.

🤣🤣🤣 "Hoarding is acceptable so long as the trash is fancy"! Gotta luv it. 🤪

Man, this reminds me of a 9th grade wood shop project, 60 years ago. I was making a book shelf. when completed, teacher said it was worthy of an upcoming contest. Unfortunately I didn't measure the height of paperback books. They did not fit. The teacher recommended that I should not enter the competition. Oh well! BTW I feel it was a grave mistake on the education system to remove shop classes from schools.

Nick. I really don't care if it ruffles feathers and others have a distaste for your psychedelic scores, but you have the best background beats of the youtube woodworkers. Thanks for not peppering every video with the same terrible free electric guitar that soooo many use. Keep up the fantastic work.

The ending with the magazines almost made me spit out my coffee! Apparently you are my spirit animal in that particular respect!. SO glad I am not alone.

When you got to the end of the build and the magazines didn't fit... I felt that... in my soul. Such a core experience in our collective journey. Love your work!

Fits like a glove. Great video Nick. You still keeping these videos entertaining no matter what they complain about 😂

I always look forward to your videos! The dialogue is great, and your sense of humor makes it fun, so keep it up (especially the sarcasm)! I also like your editing. Even the way you integrated the sponsorship into the video was creative and kept me from skipping past that part. Thank you!

Hey Nick Being a one handed woodworker 7:58 made me hold my breath, THEN YOU DID IT AGAIN and my heart stopped for a tic. Regained my composure and totally enjoyed the video, as usual. Great project and video. Regards James One Handed Maker - Australia

Exactly, it's not hoarding. It's future projects :). Also, using the miter saw to cut the magazines was amazing and hilarious

It’s crazy how many KZfaq woodworkers had router table accidents this week. I saw your kickback and 4eyes had a nasty router accident. And I think there was one more I saw. Be safe out there with your routers everyone

The FIRST woodworking project I ever made was a bookcase for my National Geographic subscription. I precisely made the shelves to the exact height of the magazines (precision!!) and as soon as it was done I realized that they needed... at least 1/16", but probably 1/2" more space to actually FIT on the shelves. My woodworking has been a lifetime of those lessons.

I did something similar. My mom needed a simple box to hold seed packets and I needed to divide it into two sections for the small packs and big packs. I wanted to practice hand cut dovetails and did that. Decided to mortise and tenon the divider in. I cut the mortise on the wrong side of the line so the big packets no longer fit and now they fit in diagonally just like your magazines 😂

I have never laughed until I cried watching a woodworking video before. I will always remember my first time.

Dude, you are one of one. Your creativity comes through so clearly in your writing/speaking and it’s truly impressive. I feel like the wood working is a bonus with the story being the main point of your content

For the record, I actually like your music scores. If I had a complaint about your videos, it would be that you don’t make enough of them. But I know you have a life and other responsibilities, so thank you for the videos you do put out and for us elevate our work

I've found that my 'subbed/bell' list in YT only tends to retain those who understand the algorithm, adhere to length guidelines, etc etc, and then give all of that a casual middle finger and do what is necessary to convey the story. You're one of those, and don't change. I feel I speak of all of us in woodworking when I say that the non-fitting magazines and saw solution got a laugh, but then a moment of "ahhh, yes, I remember that with such affection," feelings. Just about wasted a mouthful of coffee on that, dude. Last - I'll second the shout out to Mrs. Sawyer for what she does... I'm a former Army guy trained to hand out 'Go To Hell, Literally' cards to our enemies without raising my heart rate, but her job... I.Could.Not.Do.That. Respect.

With the way you use your table saw it’s a good thing you got a SawStop.

Very enjoyable video including the philosophication. Especially the spur of the moment trimming your magazines, . However, having done this mass trimming of paper myself a few times, you could've placed piece of wood atop the stack of mags, clamped tightly, and the trimmed edges of the paper would've been perfect.

Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your videos and the furniture you make. I'm not a woodworker but enjoy watching you make amazing things. Great work all around.

Beautiful......and I have to admit that I wasn't completely sure what you were building until you pulled out the stack of magazines!!!

I don’t know who you are reading or if/where you studied, but your art and design criticism and sensibilities are on par with your craftsmanship and artistic rigor. Truly inspiring. Rare to experience true artistic sense, awareness of empathy, and meaning in one truly skilled person. Please don’t stop doing what you do and communicating what matters to you. Encounters with human beings like you are what inspires humanity to elevate, edify, and carry on.

Woodworking, philosophy, and humor. Enough to make me subscribe and check out your back catalog.

Hi Nick - I always learned it as the 7 P's - Prior Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance! This was from my Navy enlisted Dad. And as far as the narration and music - I love it. DON'T CHANGE!!!

I love that the entire philosophical rant was about attention to detail but the final reveal showed the oversight of what is most likely the most important detail. lol. Note for future me, magazines are not all the same size….. measure all of them I intend to put in whatever I’m building. 😂😂

I'm planning to build a not-a-box myself (but a picture frame with sides and top/bottom) and wanted to miter every joint for continuous grain like you did here. I've been running through how to do all this on a Table saw or my Radial arm saw, and just haven't been happy with how it plays out in my head. It never occurred to me to use the router, and I think this will make things much, much easier. Thanks for the inspiration!

6 Ps Proper preparation prevents piss poor performance. Learned that one in 89 when I was learning the trades. The guy who told me the 6 P’s was my mentor for doing things the best I can. Love the channel, hope you are able to make more vids.

LOL ~~~ That's the ticket; cut the D-blank magazines down to size! Too funny!

I wasn't gonna subscribe but the last three minutes forced me too! Thanks for your channel, and insight! Oh yeah your woodworking too!

That lead-in board is a nice idea - thank you! Awesome save at the end!

Great video as always! Your beats rock, don’t stop using them. Love the unconventional problem solving, an inspiration to never give up!

I’ll totally be stealing your line for a tshirt for the hubs. “Hoarding is acceptable so long as the trash is fancy” is genius. I’ll have to define fancy for him, however. 😂

Absolutely epic ending!!

I literally giggled when I seen the magazines not fit. I did that about 6 months ago myself. That was pretty great.

Good choice trimming the bottom of those mags, it’s the tip that’s most important! Great work sir.

Awesome trophy case!! Great Video brother. The people that push themselves to attempt to be the master in their craft are the only people worth watching. They also have to be humble and smart.

Best ending yet! Awesome!

There was so much of this that was beautiful-I can't believe I haven't come across your channel prior... yep subscribed more quicker than a kickback!

alright, that ending was perfect!

Greetings from NE Portland. Excellent work as always! The music, philosophy and voiceover are the cherry on top of much loved attention to detail, jealousy-inducing creativity, and fine craftsmanship.

Fantastic video... the only thing I would have done differently is clamp the magazines before cutting. Great craftsmanship... great video. Thank you.

Great video. Thanks Nick

Great video Nick glad to see you back making stuff

Nick, you truly do make the most beautiful things on KZfaq. And your music is a perfect accompaniment to the artistic philosophizing.

Love the philosophy. Keep doing you!

Those miters are tight! Kudo's for not throwing things across the shop when you realized the box was just a hair too short. People wonder how woodworking can lead to day drinking, this is how.

Instead of cutting the magazines to fit, did you consider making a horizontal cut thru the box, then adding a decorative, contrasting strip that adds the necessary height? Doing it at the apex of the cutout would simplify the trimming necessary to keep the cutout’s lines looking good.

Awesome video. But to clarify the French "Mise En Place" it is a cooking term that means you prepare all your ingredients to be ready ahead of time. for example you already have the herbs and seasonings measured and in little bowls to be ready to throw into the recipe when its ready etc. It's the preparation before cooking. To fit this into the context of woodworking - maybe it could look like setting out all your layout tools and hand tools before cutting dovetails (as an example)

I love everything about this video, bro. Pretty consistent with my thoughts on all of your videos.

I have loved every video. Unfortunately, I'm afraid I'm in the same boat as Wayne and Garth; I'm not worthy. Thank you for sharing your work, thoughts, and insights with the rest of us wood butchers,

That was the best ending ever!😂

Nice work! I am going to try your mitre joint technique (using router) now. Also, I like your use of the chop saw to fix magazine size.

Awesome Nick! 6P's 'Prior Planning Prevents P*** Poor Performance' Keep the dialog, that's half the entertainment.

Perfect fit. Just right.

ROFL chop saw the magazines .. loved it !

Oh we've all made a box too small by atleast the slightest amount if not an inch. Lol Love the tip on using the 45 chamfer for mitres....and let's not forget the glory hole! 😂😂

Just a joy to watch like always!

I had seen using the router for miters before, but that was with a fence and having to try and dial in the height perfectly, your method with the board on top riding on the bearing seems WAY more attainable / straightforward.

Aa always really enjoy the videos and you attention to always creating beautiful pieces.

You just keep doing you man!! Love your stuff ❤️ ❤

Very good video. I like your use of router for miter cut.

I haven't a clue what you are talking about, but it's very soothing 😌 ❤😂

Loved every part of this video. Awesome!

In my opinion that final coat of finish made the wood shrink or possibly the magazines are to long. They need them to fit our magazine holders. Your music choice is outstanding! You just got a follow!

Nick, don't change who you are or how you make your videos because of a few people complaining. I subbed long ago because of your personality and quality, unique designs. Also because Cam sent us here lol.

Its actually the 7 Ps not 5 "Proper Planning and Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance" compliments of the British Army. Beautiful work as always, sir, and thank you for the consistent light hearted dry humor.

lmao! That is exactly the kind of mistake I make every time I do a project.

Nice method of using you router to do the miter. Having just built my router table, I'm gung-ho to try that myself.

Happens to the best of us!

👍 for the crickets 😂

Damn, Nick, you do great work. Another beautiful piece. And man, I appreciate your audio and sarcasm each and every video. Please don't change what you're doing! Love the channel, the work and all that goes into it.

Beautiful as always! Congrats on the spot in Fine Woodworking hoss!!

the ending hilarious. Good job

Beautiful as always 👌

Beautiful work, Nick! Wonderful box! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

love your videos, your talking, the music... and your face when the books didn't fit :D

Like a glove!

Nice job!

I always have a plan, but enjoy the rescue. Nice video relaxing.

Ive said it before and ill say it again, youre an artist. you make amazing things, even this "box" is somehow more than just a box. in the military the saying was "proper planning prevents piss poor performance" 6 P's

This was great!!! Loved the video and outcome. Reminds me of…me! And yes, I would’ve done the same thing in the end to make it work. Ty for being real❤

You are good at this.

Beautiful as always, could you do a breakdown of that finishing process you had going there?

"You've gotta be shitting me" You nailed what seems to be my mantra. -Shrug- First time I've seen your videos. Enjoyed everthing about it. Cheers,

Perfect prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance is what I want, but perfect is the enemy of good

Great job! I like when you talk about what you are doing are not! You are obviously very intelligent, and I like to hear what you have to say.

Great Vid! did anyone else cringe at the glue cleanup with the chisel!? whew as soon as you changed to the hand plane good music too :)

So.... I appreciate the talking , actually enjoyed it. The magazine holder looks awesome but I don't understand why you made an interior for it. Can someone tell me what's the purpose for the extra wood inside.

It's 7 P's but you got the Idea across.

Kudos to your wife! My daughter in law works in the NICU also. It is a special person to take care of the most vulnerable among us. Can you tell me the white glue you used on this project and why? More open time than yellow glue or better performance? Thank you for your response.

Your kung fu is strong. Their music taste is the problem, not yours. Another great project! When that grain matches on the fold... oooh baby. Nice. Keep up the good work!

First time watching. I'm a fan. Thanks for sharing.

I'm dying over here. Hilarious AF. Great content, as always, thanks for sharing.

It's 6 P's in Australia where I'm from: Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance

You were supposed to say Oops…. I mean Ta-Da! Lol. The world will never know how many times I made something too small and didn’t realize until I was completely finished.

Awesome!

Baby wipes aren’t just for glue clean up, that made me laugh(hope it didn’t hurt you though). Great video as always

I luv your solution 😂🎉

Seven proper “Ps.” Proper prior planning prevents piss poor performance.
