Check out This Old Tony for a video on chequering. He goes into quite a bit of detail and trial and error also, when applying the technique (for the first time) to a Rifle stock. Oh, and also, his videos are great and he's hilarious!
The lamp and ladder are both dope, I like your editing here too. Congrats on the 100k subscriber plaque, I have to think that’ll keep growing exponentially as I see you referenced more on Reddit and the other socials. I’d be into a hand tool setup video, even if there are already plenty of other ones from the older guy creators.
“Entertaining and informative “ - ALWAYS … in fact, it was you particular approach which caught me on the first vid and keeps me coming back. ….. Well, that add you are really good at what you do!!!!
Love your humor Nick. Not sure who is funnier, you or Cam from blacktail. Maybe that’s why my projects suck: I’m just not funny enough for woodworking 😂
I hope Onefinity, or another CNC manufacturer, reach out to you soon! I love the stuff you do with a hybrid of techniques. I would love to see you add a CNC to the workflow. Your stuff is always a great inspiration!
Congratulations on 100k! I am always anxiously waiting for the new videos to come out so I can be inspired and learn something new. Your work and design are simply impressive. I would love to see a video on sharpening, I see you make impressive ribbons with your planes - there’s gotta be something I’m missing. (Maybe it’s patience!)
Firstly, congratulations on the 100k subscribers, Nick! I still feel that your channel should have many many more based on the quality of your work, the quality of your videos and your ability to tell a compelling story. Secondly, those are some steamy furniture pieces you made there. I think my favourite is the library ladder. Your use of grain direction and curves in wood is really impressive. It has give me inspiration and a really good idea for a workshop step stool.
Way to go cracking 100k, although I am surprised that that's just now happening. Your work is stellar...at a level that I aspire to reach and I've been woodworking for 30+ years. You definitely got that creative gene that I was cheated out of. ;-) Great work (as always)~!!
My gosh are you good & young! Your sarcasm and arrogance is awesome! I’ve spent 50 years in a rather tough guy industry where arrogance doesn’t go far. You keep your mouth shut and prove yourself with your hands. You are a bright light, I’m learning so very much from you, continuing on from my grandfather at age 3 yr. Where I began my passion for woodworking 56 years ago. Your Modern style is teaching me lines and curves & ideas that I never thought I could have in the styles that I’m interested in. I also find that I’m getting more artistic in my metalworking as well. Thank you
Nick those pieces turned out exceptional. I especially love the lamp. It is so elevated and looks like a piece of sculpture from a modern art museum. Can't go on enough about it. Great job as usual entertaining and making me laugh.
Things I admire about your work: your amazing talent; your insane obsession with getting things right; your tasteful design ideas; your ability to adapt on the fly when something doesn't work out; your interest in trying new ideas/techniques/materials/tools; your sense of fun making this stuff.
My absolute favorite UA-cam project from anyone to date .... and there's a lot of cool stuff. Does the steam bending make the wood more like a noodle? Bending in all directions. Also, didn't realize wood working was so raunchy. I wear a hoodie and dark sunglasses to go to my shop now. 😎
I watch quite a few UA-cam craftsmen woodworkers. And I learn from all of them. Sometimes I’m watching and thinking “I will build one of those”. And sometimes I’m thinking “this is a skill I need to learn”. But your work goes beyond where I will ever take my hobby. Some day in the future, two people not yet born, will stand and stare at a piece of furniture and say “I can’t believe you scored that at the action” and the other one will say “I know, and it’s a Sawyer!”
Appreciate your kind words. They’re Humbling, really. That potential to be part of so many lives lights a fire to be more thoughtful and build better every single day. Thank you.
You're one of a kind... Stunning designs, precision in execution, perfection in finishing. You'll be remembered long after you've shuffled off this mortal coil, Nick. If you figure out a way of not mass production but making several of each of your pieces, employing skilled people to replicate what you do (I'm thinking of a Dutch art nouveau designer van someone, he made a very famous desk and his pieces are now in museums and yes it is a horribly long time since I was at art college!) I reckon you could make a very decent living... But what do I know?! I do know you're head and shoulders above most other designer/makers I've come across on UA-cam; if ever I've a few hundred thousand pounds to spare, I'll commission you to make the furniture in my dream home! Edit: P.S. You're also the cutest woodworker on YT! 🧡🧡🧡!
Another Great (or is it Greats) bit (or is it bits) of work Nick!!. You really have a Bent for this Woodworking Thingy. Anxiously waiting for your next production! and frankly, I'm with Leon and the multitude of others on here.. We need to get the word out to get you more subscribers!!! And the fact that you're somewhat local makes it more enjoyable to see what comes out of your mind, (or is it your customers (uh-hmmm - wife's) minds).. Good Stuff man!!
I just saw your work in the PantoRouter 2 web thingy. I have to say that you were the dorkiest guy on a scale of 1 to brass butt plugs. Having said that, I still think that your work is the most advanced and artful of anything I have ever seen. You convinced me that I need the PantoRouter and I bought one. But I bought it before I saw the video. We’ll never know if I would have made the purchase afterwards. Love your work, Nick. Don’t do dork.
Well done. Funny presentation (oboe-ner) and beautifully creative design. Your work is a total inspiration for me. Thanks for showing your mistakes. Please do a collab with Pedulla studio. You guys were cut from the same cloth!
Things we have in common: no booze, Lucy’s, we cut wood. Things we don’t have in common: my projects are closer to going straight to goodwill then a living room while yours belong on pop woodworking cover 😂😂😂
I really like this hand sock idea. I have some prototypes I’ve been working on. I’ve brain stormed some name ideas. So far I have gloves, mittens, and gauntlet. I think we could make a killing on this idea.
I'm no expert but I have steam bent a few pieces of different hardwoods for making bows and I haven't needed to steam anything for 4 whole hours and the bends I've done are much more severe than these you did. Also, I have bent kiln dried wood and haven't had any problems with it, although those pieces did break as I was making final tillering adjustments but I'm not sure if the kiln drying was why.
thx for the heads up on milwaukie hardwoods. Haven't been in PDX that long and I always end up over at the usual suspects in the NW. nice make, funny vid.
Love your work! I love learning from watching as well. As for these pieces, there is so much base for literally a 1/2" board at the top. Do my eyes fixate on the base or the light fixture? Do they fixate on the steps or the top of the ladder, which is usually where you are trying to reach or get to. So for me, I think a simple lamp shade to take up some space would really finish the piece. As for the ladder, not sure.
Thank you! Every video you make is always thoroughly entertaining. Keep up the great work! Lastly what you do with hand planes and joinery should be censered sir 😂
If you get a chance check out Crimson Guitars channel, I can’t remember off hand which video it was but he does that hand checkering technique you mentioned and shows off some really cool tools made just for that. Hope that helps
this has met the standard that I have come to expect of you, beautiful as always man love it. also congrats on the button the gold shouldn't be to long now.
Another beautiful set of pieces. I recently also did some bending to replace the pieces of a round dining table I'm building. I was trying to route a 2 inch thick ring of hickory with the router attached to a center point when on the final pass the router had other plans... I thought I was going to have to shoot it to stop it! What a mess! Bending in retrospect is much safer and turned out looking better than I thought. I always look forward to your videos, keep them coming.
Both pieces are terrific. The ladder I found to be especially pleasing. I love a piece that grabs the attention of the user. I built a small cantilevered deck on my old shop (looked like it hung on nothing) that drove my neighbor nuts. He always threatened to put a post under the corner 🤪 I enjoy your commentary and humor. Also how you don’t allow a miss-step to stumble you. (No pun intended) 😉Thank you for sharing. Look forward to many more videos.
absolutely amazing - the combination of craftmanship and art. I enjoyed the video, though nothing for an everday woodworker. I will definitly keep on following to get some inspiration.
Yea, dude, some tips on sharpening would be great. One I do the 25 degree angle on my plane blade well, then I just keep the 30 degree edge sharp. It takes me a min or two but pls do share how you go about it 😉
I have a bunch of hand planes but I just do not know how to set them up. I try them and they just don’t work. I would love a course on how to use a hand plane, set it up, sharpen and maintain. All of that.
For a steam box I found you can use ducting and end caps, that way you can make it as long as you need and then take it apart instead of having a big box taking up space when you don’t need it all the time.
Yes on sharpening vid - don’t care how many are out there, seen ‘em all - I want more ! Yes on setting up tools - I’m sure I’ve done it wrong somewhere
Congrats on breaking 100k, it's well deserved! I always look forward to your videos, educational while being entertaining. The pieces you design are inspiring and motivate me to push myself in the shop.
As usual, I loved both pieces... Just a note: the steam bending is better suited for more extreme bends than were done here. it definitely has its place.
Can it be true? Doth my eyes deceive me?? No clickbait title, no misleading thumbnail, not peddling some product at me, an ACTUAL project build??? Where have you been? Curse the algorithm for not delivering this video to me sooner. Instant sub.
"Sad duck queef" got me rolling 🤣🤣🤣 Got a pantorouter and am loving it👍👍 also got the Accu-Burr and love it as well excellent suggestions Nick. Where's your new bench?
Congrats ok passing 100k (should be 10x that for how good your content is!!) How about a spherical kumiko lampshade (not soccerball-style panels either)? Not trying to get you to flex on us or anything, but you might be one of the only people that would try something that insane! As always, awesome design!
Can you do an in depth on the Osmo Poly-X? I’ve been using Odie’s Oil for a long time, and love it for some stuff that doesn’t get handled a lot, but don’t love it for high use stuff (like my butcher block countertops). I’ve thought about trying Osmo or Rubio, but they are spendy and I would like your input!
Yeah I’m not a fan of odies as a finish or the guy who owns it. I’ve had decent luck with both Rubio and polyx. Rubio will build more sheen. My favorite is actually shellac for low traffic and 2K acrylic for the stuff that needs to be bulletproof.
Great project and video. 1 weird thing I've never seen on a video: when watching at 2x speed, from 22:00 to 22:40, your voice suddenly turned really grainy and high-pitched, then goes back to normal. It doesn't happen at all in normal speed. No idea how that happens, but thought it was weird enough to share lol
Your work is over the top amazing! I just enjoy watching the process. I know nothing about woodworking however should you not use a push block when you are sawing through a piece of wood instead of keeping your hands/fingers on the wood? You are sooo talented, I would hate to see you lose any fingers. I am not saying that to be mean- I don’t want you to get hurt! Great video!
Smarter not harder! You spend a lot of time cleaning up cuts that could of been done quickly and accurately with a cross cut sled. Not to say I don't enjoy watching you suffer to chase perfection. Congrats on your channel growth.
Haha thank you. In my defense, compounding stuff takes a long time to set up where a few swipes with a plane are both satisfying and pretty low friction
I don't understand the close-up shot of the Wundows XP screen, unless it's to make us jealous that you still use XP and most of us are using the far inferior Win 10 and 11. 😉
Logged in to see if you were on form with the innuendo, and you smashed it at the 6 second mark 😂😂 well played sir 👏👏👏 right, time to watch the rest now
I'm very happy to see that your soldering skills are exactly as terrible as your woodworking skills are great. Right there with you though, I made some home theater speakers a bit ago and had to solder some electrical components, it was not a pretty sight.
Thanks for the heads up on Milwaukie Hardwoods! I've been driving by that place for 20 years and always wondered if there was a business there. I will be reaching out to David to get some stock for a project I have coming up.
Video idea: use an Ai like Midjourney have it design you a “furtristic” table or lamp and then make it in real life. I’ve seen it do some room design that looked sweet.

Sharpening your knives and tools is one of the most satisfying things, just remind your family that the knives are actually ridiculously sharp.

That's a lot of work just to bend some boards. I just go to Lowes and buy mine pre-bent and it saves tons of time. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Id enjoy seeing a sharpening video ! So there ya be my 2 cents lol !!!! Awesome build ! Came out nice !!!
I have a bunch of hand planes but I just do not know how to set them up. I try them and they just don’t work. I would love a course on how to use a hand plane, set it up, sharpen and maintain. All of that.
I really like to form of the lamp design. The light seems a bit stark, or incongruent, but it works reasonably well.
Yes please regarding sharpening. No please only fans 😂btw, do you sharpen bits?
For a steam box I found you can use ducting and end caps, that way you can make it as long as you need and then take it apart instead of having a big box taking up space when you don’t need it all the time.
Awesome work bro.... AND YES love to hear that vacuum seal open and the second one was much better🤙
Stunning mate... Really like what you are doing!! Regards from Iceland :)
Yes on sharpening vid - don’t care how many are out there, seen ‘em all - I want more !
Yes on setting up tools - I’m sure I’ve done it wrong somewhere
Very very nice. You have both the skill to build it and the ability to dream it up. Sorry no chew for me.😂
simplicity of function...complexity of design. Classic Sawyer.
Oh man, didn’t notice you have a fancy “festool” mitre saw. 😂 nice! Too funny
Sam Malouf inspired library ladder and lamp?? Hmm… gotta do a rocker now! 😊

Thank you! Glad to share the inspiration!
I reckon heat resistant cooking gloves with some nitrile gloves on top would work!
Love the build. We don't need to tell Cam over at Blacktail about that little epoxy comment lol
As usual, I loved both pieces... Just a note: the steam bending is better suited for more extreme bends than were done here. it definitely has its place.
Yeah I read that the more those fibers are deformed, the better it stays. Will definitely explore that a bit in the future. Thanks man!
Very interesting and nice! I really appreciated the narration and minimal music!
Socks for your hands: Check out Kevlar gloves.
as always your skills amaze me.... waiting for more .... thx

Can't help with a CNC but I would recommend checking out Mark Novak/Anvil's checkering videos. Tons of great information.
Thanks! I’ll check it out!
Great project and video. 1 weird thing I've never seen on a video: when watching at 2x speed, from 22:00 to 22:40, your voice suddenly turned really grainy and high-pitched, then goes back to normal. It doesn't happen at all in normal speed. No idea how that happens, but thought it was weird enough to share lol

Stunning lamp! "spank bank", your humor is brilliant. Congratulations on your 100k+ subscribers.
Thank you so much! spank bank lol
You really looked like you coulda used some hand-socks there.
Logged in to see if you were on form with the innuendo, and you smashed it at the 6 second mark 😂😂 well played sir 👏👏👏 right, time to watch the rest now
Haha at least I’m consistent
Good Day, small shop woodworker here...what brand is your jointer planer combo? And would you recommend this to others?
Hey Andrew. It’s a Hammer. For the space it occupies, couldn’t ask for a better tool.
I'm very happy to see that your soldering skills are exactly as terrible as your woodworking skills are great.
Right there with you though, I made some home theater speakers a bit ago and had to solder some electrical components, it was not a pretty sight.
Hahaha so true. Soldiering is hard!
Thanks for the heads up on Milwaukie Hardwoods! I've been driving by that place for 20 years and always wondered if there was a business there. I will be reaching out to David to get some stock for a project I have coming up.
Awesome! Yeah I live right around the corner and have never been in. Cool place and cool guy
Video idea: use an Ai like Midjourney have it design you a “furtristic” table or lamp and then make it in real life. I’ve seen it do some room design that looked sweet.
Yeah some cool rooms, but haven’t seen any furniture that looked quite right.
I would like to see how you sharpen chisel and planes
I wouldn’t mind hearing your method for getting your tools stupid sharp
I just use whetstones!
Where's the new bench? Great build as always
Love your work. Use your steam Jenny for clams.
Whenever i need to be deeply humbled i come to your channel, Your work is always on point. Congrats on 100k thats incredible!
Thanks man!
It will be someone named dave or david fussing about the screw. It's always a dave...
Dammit Dave haha
Another gorgeous build. But I can’t believe you said shave the legs without a sarcastic comment!!
Haha thanks Ron! Dang. Missed opportunity. I’ll do better next 😆
Your skills are really exceptional! You have a special talent, I hope you realize that. You leave most of us in the dust - sawdust.
Appreciate the kind words!
I appreciate your original content, and also appreciate you not posting random tool deals and bs videos just to make the algorithm happy.
Haha I’m sure I’ll sell out eventually. I’d do some weird stuff for money.
