My father was a carpenter by trade, a craftsman by desire. He was fond of box making and, had he not passed many years before the internet was probably even contemplated, would have been a fan of your work. As a child, and I’m now 78, I can recall the countless hours he spent in his home shop fashioning small works of art we simply called “boxes”. Boxes his friends keenly admired in the hopes he might take pity on them and craft one for their keepsakes. Keep up the ”fine wood crafting”.
@@failzilla Edit: upon review, my deepest apologies for misreading. Given that the wood whispering vertical is cornered, while spoken wood is fitting, maybe we could consider this a sapwood rap? Perhaps a Sawdust sermon? Or maybe a Softwood soliloquy?
Thanks Tab! Reassuring- I always overthink and question everything I’ve ever said or done or not shared every time I hit upload so any and all positive reception is appreciated.
@@SawyerDesign Over the last couple of years your commentary has changed a bit. I feel like you used to be a bit more salacious. It’s still there, just not as pronounced. But you choose to share really cool projects (warts and all), and I’m super appreciative of that.
@@TabAtl haha I’ve been through all the awkward growth stages of telling jokes to thousands of people in a recording with no feedback or read of the room until after it’s permanent. Yikes. Sex jokes land, self deprecation is universal, but bathroom humor isn’t funny in this crowd 🤷♂️ I’m a child in all verticals and since losing one, the dark humor has really been one that’s blossoming. Oh yeah and the woodworking. All fun problems to solve and I appreciate you hanging around for all the fumbles and cringe!
I’ve never enjoyed a box building video so much! I’d added this to my watch later list and I’m glad I went back and watched it tonight. You handle woodworking and voiceovers with such finesse!😊
Dude I really enjoy your videos I’m not much of a wood worker my self but I truly enjoy your witty humor and attention to detail! Absolutely love your work sir thank you!
Very fun to watch, great content as usual. I may have a suggestion about your veneer seams that creep open - I have had this happen to me as well in the past, especially on starburst layouts. The crux of the problem is this: the veneer absorbs moisture from the glue and swells a tiny bit before the glue sets up enough to keep it in place. Because it swells proportionately to its width, the wide end swells more so the gaps open up on the narrow pointy side. The way around this is not gluing up the seams, but using a (much) faster setting glue. Urea-formaldehide glue in a hot press is the best, it will set within about 30 seconds. Next best is fast setting PVA, which should set up in less than 5 minutes, even cold.
I'm currently making a desk for my teenage son, and am using your technique for making thin veneers with the platform in the planer. Works great. Thanks for the tip.
Those boxes are beautiful ❤ I work with an old jobsite tablesaw..im on limited cash, and it was free, so there's that. The free part came afterit fell off the work truck at 45mph and gave it a versatile, depending upon your point of view, bend on the aluminum top, kinked the saw thing under it that made it all "straight" and busted the power swith right off...oddly enough the stand made it with minimal damage and is one of, if not its only, best qualities. I replaced the power switch, cut the versatil bend off of the top, and prit'near the entire portion right of the blade, about 6 or so many inches. Needless to say the truck never stopped to pick up the saw..so i stopped, pulled it out from under my bumper and i never looked back, praise jesus...Now I will tell you I've worked off that saw for almost 6 years.. and just figured out how to straighten the underbelly out, so im only out of whack about 1/4" now... I know what you're thinking, I could easily be mistaken as a wood master of the universe, and rightly, you would do so. Alas, I am not. Im just a guy on a seriously strict budget and great googly moogly, have you ever just shut the camera off and lower the lights and stand in the doorway admiring your own shop? My shop is a 8x20 with 78" ceiling on the high side to 69" on the low...Ive been meaning, ok ok dreaming, about rebuilding but im still waiting for one to fall off a truck..Hey, it could happen, you gotta put it out into the Universe..you know the same one I am not a master off? ❤❤😂
Beautiful work, as usual. Looking forward to the deep dive videos over at SawStop. I wish the algorithm allowed all your videos to be about woodworking process and thought process.
I just glued up a pair of matching drawer boxes, without any issues, and was pret-ty proud of my boxes. Then I watched you make these, where your mistakes are better looking than my final product. Well, always room for improvement. Very nice video.
I always worry that the perfling will not be robust? enough. Like, I'll get it all finished, turn around and brush the wall or something, and rip a chunk of it out. Great veneer work, the boxes are beautiful! Super impressed with the bleed through repair, I probably would have just cried.
Beautiful work, as usual. And the narration I find very stimulating, and at the same time comforting. Because your work turns out so nice, yet you highlight your mistakes as you proceed through. The sunburst glue bleed through, I thought looked like an extra touch of detail against the maple, as I imagined it on all of the pieces. Maybe try "screwing up" on all of them next time.😂
Your narrative is the best Nick, and your skills to me are unmatched. I thought my 30 plus years skills were pretty good, then I see yours and nah, my skills are just poop. Lol. This old man really likes your videos.
Regarding celebrating rather than trying to hide mistakes- Prof. Stamm at University of Az college of architecture often used the phrase “paint it red and call it a feature.”
Great video dude! The internet doesn't provide a very accurate definition of purfling so here's some fun info. Purfling is the decorative border within the lines of the binding or (outside edging) on instruments. It adds yet another accent on the inside edge. So yours would be called binding in the luthery world.
You are amazing, man! I love your style so much, not just what you make, but your attention to detail, your meticulous and artistic capture of video of the project, and your voiceovers. Hell, even the soundscape is great! I love watching you, and I was especially surprised to see when you did the purfling, and also mentioned the idea of covering a mistake with an embellishment - these two ideas intersected in my box, as my shitty mitre saw caused hella tearout when cutting the mitres... So I routed out the corners and purfled it. Bam! Hahaha don't stop man, I'll religiously watch everything you put out!!!
I always enjoy watching your videos and to witness your wood working skills improve along with film making is awesome. That FlexiSpot desk is a good idea for a workshop. Keep it up and don't forget you are awesome.
Wow I am nearly speechless. Absolutely stunning work! I'm just getting started and can only hope to have the ability to accomplish something so intricate one day. Great presentation and content as well. Subscription well deserved!
First Harsh Criticism - Loose the self deprecation. It is completely undeserved. Go drink some coffee with EnCurtis and keep up your well pondered narration. Second, THANK YOU!!! I can share this video with my kids and extol Your virtues. Third, I will probably watch this many times. I usually don't do that with "total boat baby" as much as I love him and the kats, only Paul Sellers and Padula. God has blessed you my friend. But, none of us are completely blessed or completely perfect. I come from Asheville, please y'all join us in prayer. Much is desperate there. Thank you much. Cordially David McGuinn.
Hi David. Really my pleasure and thank you for watching. I appreciate the positive feedback and means a lot that you’d watch my videos once let alone twice! Sending all good thoughts east. That storm damage is devastating!
Dude!! There are peeps I watch and wonder or ask my self { "self..how would I do that with out those tools?"} With you stuff? I sometimes don't even know how you pull it off with the tools you have. Your builds are equal art and woodworking. Dare I say it ? For me you are the Frank Lloyd Wright of furniture building/creation. Well done.
Thank Nick I’m inspired! As a lot of us scraps and offcuts abound! Also was holding off buying a stand desk frame…pulled the trigger 🔫! Code didn’t work in Canada but they have a great sale on which I wasn’t aware of.❤😊
Love the videos, keep up the great work! Do you take video requests?? If so, I’d be interested in a video on how you sharpen your hand tools, such as your chisels and hand planes…
Funny you are advertising for that adjustable workbench. I just designed and build an adjustable workbench with a torsion top that can adjust from a 24 inch working height to 44 inches. I am working on the video for it.
Dude your skills are unmatched on this thing called UA-cam! Fckn insane bro! Every video is better than the last! Good shit! Keep up the awesome work! You’re Welcome!
Beautiful work they look stunning and what a great recovery on your boo boos too beautifully executed. Thanks for stopping by a bit more to your always a great watch
Nice work always appreciate you showing your fixes. It is so helpful to see what can be fixed and how good it can look afterwards. Where did you get those latches got a project coming up that might be the trick. Thanks.
Hey Nick. Great timing with this video as I am in the process of making a similar veneered box however mine is a mitered foldup style. Would like to send you some photos but cannot attach any here on UA-cam.
As always, gorgeous!!!! I enjoy the heck out of out of learning the tricks you do. But? 44.9 degrees. Is that just where you stopped showing via the camera? Or? Care to elaborate sir?
Stunning, beautiful, all those adjectives. I have. yet to tackle the intricacies of veneer. I'm interested to see how well the veneer holds over time. I've always heard "thou shalt use hide glue on veneer" and "that shalt use none but PVA on veneer".... etc. Seems to me like they would all work as long as. you get the coverage even. But I think PVA might work better. Thoughts?
Yeah I’ve not had luck with PVA and the people I look up to recommend against it. Hammer veneering with hide glue is a pro approach that I’ve not tackled, but has been recommended. Looks messy.
These boxes are beautiful!! I’ve learned a lot can you make something else with verneer so we all can keep learning. Lastly where do you get those brass base nameplates from?
As always, totally cool. First question. Can you even get close without a vacuum bag? Second, what came first, the word purfelling, or the embellishment and finding it had a name? 😅 I challenge you to do a whole video that rhymes.
1. Definitely doable without a vacuum press. Google veneer press to see all the options. Industrially it’s much more common to see hydraulics. 2. haha good question. I have no idea. Sounds French. Etymology unknown. 3. Rhyming for 30 minutes would be a challenge!
Ah damn, thought you were going to walk us through from milling scrap logs to joinery, but still a gorgeous video of gorgeous woodwork. And I thought graphic penetration was against community standards, even if you pull out (8:27).
Very nice. While you might consider yourself green at veneering I hope to oneday work up to veneering. Also, looks like we had the same idea for that Flexispot base!
nice work. question: how are you able to plane the edges and veneer fixes without gouging into the surrounding surfaces. I have trouble with that almost every time. Thanks.
Those turned out really well. I mean, everyone likes box... -es, even yours. I do doubt, however, that you'll ever land a hand modeling gig, but don't give up! My only thought here other than, "Finally he used lacquer!" is that you've managed to take basic boxmaking and complicate the snot out of it. When I got ready to attempt my first box (we all remember our first box), I watched too many YT videos, and promptly discarded the kind with the fancy corner pinstriping thing that luthiers fap to... way too complex. Great fix on the accidental lid cut, btw. Also, others might be traumatized by the splinter shot, but I really enjoyed seeing you get penetrated by wood. Okay, I'm done now. Beautiful effort, seriously. I'll show myself out.
At first, I thought you said " Dope Box." I went back and listened to it again, and my 10-year-old asked, "What's a dope box? " I said, "No, he said, "Hope box. " She then says, " Is he from where we used to live? I said, yes he's from Washington. He definitely, said dope box, Dad.
I love self-deprecating humor... I'm just not very good at it. Is this thing on? Try the veal, tip your bartenders! In seriousness, your after-action summary of learning from mistakes and adding to your toolkit? Absolutely awesome, and the boxes look amazing. Cheers!
