A new Sawyer release? Hell yeah, press pause button on life.
Haha you’re going to be a happy camper coming up. I have three more coming out in the next two weeks! Sponsors lit a fire under me
finding your channel was like finding a really good TV series that is still on, but I am caught up on Netflix. I have already run through all the episodes and now I have to wait for the new ones to come on each week, but I'm hooked.
Haha love it! You’re going to love the nearly weekly pace I’m starting yesterday. Lots and lots more incoming 🤙
"Not yo fingers. Not yo problem." Along side that logo its a t-shirt begging to happen. I love what you do, make and talk about. Hearing you share your life with us, a brunch of strangers, is so inspiring and giving. Keep on doing what makes you happy and what makes you, you❣
Thanks so much! It’s starting to get fun telling stories (not a natural ability). You better believe I’m working on a t-shirt lol
Kind of mindblowing (and inspiring) to me to realize you've ''only'' been woodworking for 3.5 years. Would have guessed you're already doing your thing for many more. Anyways, hats off to this lovely little box!
Thanks so much, Joris!
Absolutely gorgeous. I hope you are proud of this one. That’s going to put a smile on the owner’s face every time they load their pockets.
My man! This is hands down the best woodworking channel on youtube!
Dude! Too kind. I appreciate the love
I love the proud dovetails on this box!
The design of that thing is OUTSTANDING!
The Black Walnut box turned out awesome! I love my black walnut trees. 👍🏻🙂
Nick, dovetails and box joints are the one thing I admire in woodworkers, because I'm not brave enough yet to try it. As usual your artistry shows through again, even with the confusing way back machine.
If I could add my two penny worth. Making dovetails or box joints is not difficult; it requires practice or, in the case of box joints, a well made jig. However, don’t fall into the trap of thinking that it is THE or a MAJOR sign of a skilled woodworker (sorry about the capitals but I couldn’t work out how to put it into italics). Mechanical joints were essential when glues were unreliable. So, the cabinet makers 300 years ago had to devise a mechanical joint and one of the results is a dovetail. It takes time to make a good dovetail joint and I think we can be sure that those cabinet makers of 1720 would not be spending precious time making the joint unless they had to. Another mechanical joint is mortise and tenon; this is still widely used today particularly in high stress joints such as door frames or chair frames; even then, the loose tenon (eg domino) can be made as large as you want instead of mortise and tenon.
With all the very effective glues we have to hand now, we don’t need mechanical joints for many applications.. We can use pocket screws, dowels, dominos, biscuits etc for both strength (sometimes only a little) but mainly alignment.
I would suggest that, now, the dovetail or box joint should be included only as part of the overall design. If you want a very sleek design, then perhaps a dovetail will come across as too fussy for the design. The protruding box or dovetail was a feature of some Greene and Greene products; I do like G&G products but sometimes the protrusions seem to me to detract rather than add - as always, personal taste.
When I see the work of Sawyer or Pedulla Designs, I see great skill in design and then bringing that design to reality. That’s the genius for me. I can cut a mean dovetail but I can’t design and implement such original pieces.
Just my thoughts.
👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🌺❤️
Hey man…been watching your vids. Fantastic mix of woodworking technique, videography, humor, ads 😬, great editing and beautiful work!
‘Twas great hanging out last week 👊🏼
Awesome! Thanks man. Once you get to ads, I’ve learned a ton to share on that topic. Rad to get to hang out last week!
Super nice design and workmanship! First time here …. love the backlit tool wall.
Hey welcome! Glad to have ya. Thank so much
Just in time. I needed a good inspirational build.
Right on man. Glad this inspires!
So glad you decided to post this. Great build and video. Very inspiring to know this is only 3 years into it.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Absolutely gorgeous
I love the combination of material types
Wow, that's a beautiful design. Nice execution.
Your music selection is next level compared to other channels.
Impressive!! I think that is my favorite project of yours so far.
Oh wow thanks Bridgette. Glad you liked it! You’re gonna like the next one too, I’m predicting. Same same, but very different.
You are truly inspiring, your work ethic, your precision, your craftsmanship, just extraordinary! You sir deserve way more followers. I will keep watching you grow and thrive!
Greetings from Germany👏
I totally agree, Sascha!! Nick is amazing!!! I've never seen anyone with such talent!!!
👍🙏🙏🌺❤️❤️🌺
Amazing work, Nick! Really beautiful piece! 😃
The glass parts were a fantastic addition!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks so much man. Glad you enjoyed!
Lam kenal ya ,🙏🙏🙏👍👍⭐
Nick, your work is so intricate & amazing & beautiful!! You make it look easy, but you also show how difficult it must be! That statement doesn't even make sense, probably, but it's true!! You are so gifted & talented that you make these incredibly detailed pieces look easy - you're the best EVER!! 🌟🥰
Ahh Dianne. Always too kind! Editing takes a lot of the struggle out 😂 thanks so much!
@@SawyerDesign Editing or not, God has truly gifted you like nobody I've ever seen. We are retired residential contractors, & we had some talented guys working for us & have had guys build special pieces for our homes, & compared to you - well, you're amazing!! May God keep on blessing you & your family!! 💞
👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Excellent work👍👍👍👍👍All tools are awesome, powered or hand tools, all have their use. Where was the banana drawer? 🤣 bananas over book for me💪🧠💚 knowledge.
Haha all the drawers are banana drawers Chris 😂 thanks man!
@@SawyerDesign your the man👍👍👍👍👍
Beautiful looking box. I really love the base. It’s design and shadow line is superb. Plus, the glass on the drawers and doors just puts it over the top. Well done 👍
Thank you! Really came together nicely. Glad you liked the build 🤙
That is beautiful! I'm trying to add something pithy, but words fail me. Whatever direction your design mind takes you, keep going that way. It works.
Hey thanks! Onward!
Beautiful piece. Your sense of proportion is right on the money with this one. Also, though it's stating the obvious, your skills as a woodworker are to be envied and inspired by. Thanks!!
Pagi ya ,,👍🙏⭐⭐⭐
Dude, your art is inspiring. You should make a comprehensive tour of your saw tote. It's very nice and I always wonder what's inspired your designchoices.
WOW!! You must have some serious patience!! Great job!!
Thanks Brad!
hands down the progression beyond "craftiness" is design. once you know technique you can stop paint by numbers
Love everything about this build ... I really admire your work. Thanks again.
Hey thanks so much Denise!
Over the top Wow Factor! Love it!!!
Gorgeous design. Well done!
Amazing craftsmanship as always. I sincerely appreciate your efforts at sharing your craft & content with us. Thanks.
Thanks Brent! My pleasure really. Stoked to share the spark with others who appreciate it.
🙏❤️❤️❤️👍🌺
Your creativity knows no bounds, another beautiful piece.
It is a lovely box - the dovetails are very Greene and Greene. I would suggest that a small box is the only time that dovetails add rather than detract from the design. You may guess that I’m not a fan of dovetails; they are no longer needed to make the joint sufficiently strong but are often included to satisfy the ego of the maker. In your box, they seem to me to fit the overall intricate nature of the piece. It’s the same kind of reason for piston fit drawers. They are not hard to make but it is easy for piston fit to become stuck fit when timber expands or contracts. I prefer to leave a maximum of 2mm - but 1mm on a small piece gap for expansion. There should not be much because the drawer front and back because the grain usually goes left to right and not front to back.
I agree about design - it is the most challenging part for me; I know what I want to achieve but proportions are not easy for me to nail.
The issue that I have with your “not your fingers;not your problem” is not that I’m the epitome of safety (too many scars to try and be that) but that a lot of less experienced woodworkers will try and copy those techniques. I applaud the stance taken by Inspire Woodcraft which is “if you’re not comfortable doing it this way - then don’t do it”. That’s a good balanced warning.
This comment is not aimed to criticise you or make you change but really for people to look at what you do and how you do it - and then make responsible decisions about taking on a similar piece.
Have you tried the hinges and locks from Andrew Crawford here in the UK (smart box maker). I wouldn’t say that they are the best in the world because I haven’t tried every possible hinge or lock - but they are best that I have ever used. That award comes partly from the quality of the build; partly from the design with fixed 93 degree opening and partly their ease of fitting. I’m a full-price buyer of them and not connected in any other way with his business. But very good should win out.
I’ll have to check out those hinges. Totally get that point of view with safety. I’m contrarian in making light of it to bring attention as preachy isn’t something I do well.
I’m glad you mentioned the dovetails. I think you’re really going to like the one I have coming up next (this weekend). Very much opposite of this one. This is very pecovich, and hopefully the next will come across much differently
@@SawyerDesign thank you for your reply
So glad I found your channel thru Blacktail Design. Great box again.
Me too! Thanks so much Alan. Glad to have ya
Nick another amazing video. And that box is so dope. I remember seeing posts about it last year. Seeing the process and story was very cool.
Thanks Tyler! Glad you enjoyed it man.
Holy guacamole, that’s gorgeous!
Siiiick!
pure craftsmanship, I love how you work friend, a beautiful job. a greeting🤩
Thanks so much man. I’ve got a sticker in an envelope I need to get in the mail to you! Totally spaced it 😅
@@SawyerDesign Thank you very much it will be a pleasure I am very excited to have your sticker. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, if you need the address tell me so I can send it to you
I held on to yours for the return address! I’ll get it out this week.
Design and execute is for the alpha dog🐾🐾🤗
Really cool looking box the stand makes it look complete and integration of glass pulls really takes to next level
Thanks Deepak! Glad you like it!
Wow.
Loved the safety police comment. After 50+ years of woodworking I can still count to ten on my fingers. There are things I am comfortable doing that would probably terrify most people. Knowing your limits and what your tools are capable of is key. Thanks for another amazing video.
👍🙏🙏🙏
My guy! You’ve only been doing woodwork for 3 years?! That’s quite impressive. Where did you learn and are there any books/videos that you’d recommend to anyone out there looking to take their skills to the next level?
Looking forward to more of your videos.
Hey Victor! Man, I’ve just been a sponge on social media. The only book I’ve made it through is the Schwarz workbench book. I’ve made it a hard and fast rule that every project has to have some element that’s harder than the last. Adds up pretty quickly and practice definitely yields results. Gotta mess it up to know how not to mess it up next time is my philosophy. Thanks man
@@SawyerDesign thanks for responding. Looking forward to you’re next videos to see what else you have up your sleeve. Btw after watching your videos you convinced me that the pantorouter is the tits. I bought a used one off of offer up but due to my lack of awareness and continues stream of bad luck I actually bought the older generation of the Panto. The one without the tilting table. For now it’ll have to do. Down the line I intend not to be a cheap chump and spend the pretty penny’s for the fully loaded pantorouter with all the bells and whistles. Cheers man.
Some mad challengers there in that build but you got them.It looks stunning and the glass draw pulls he knocked it out of the park. Thanks for sharing
Wow, the glass adds a lot to a beautiful build🪚
So fuckin' inspirational! Is it possible to get a buzz without the drugs? Because this video hit super hard! Thank you for the inspiration; I just wish I could shake your hand! Now, I'm gonna go get my "actual," buzz on and head to the shop and work on this "design," adventure.
Hahaha blast off homie. Let nature lead the way.
Beautiful box, Nick! Scale it up, this design would make damn awesome cabinet/chest!
For real! I’ve got so many dressers In my design book to build. So little time. Eventually! Thanks so much!
Really like the base. Wish I could see more of how you did that.
Sorry I didn’t get into the nitty gritty on that part. Wasn’t very comprehensive in shooting my builds back then. This might shed some more light on the tablesaw cove cut. Just a compound miter after that and suspend a small support frame on the inside edge of the coved base. www.finewoodworking.com/2020/02/03/how-to-cut-coves-on-the-tablesaw-2
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching 🤙
So impressive. 👍
VERY NICE ! LOVE YOUR CHANNEL
They are so stressful! They make me sweat buckets.
Man for real. I get so worked up and procrastinate the hell out of dts lol
Pfft…. I could make something like that with my eyes closed. No really. I’d be asleep of course! 😂😂. Awesome!
Haha 😴 in your dreams! Jk I’m sure anyone would be capable of this. Thanks David!
Well done, Sir!
Thanks Jerry 🤙
Love your videos and have been a great inspiration for me! Quick question, what are you using to glue up your dovetails? I have been wanting to make something with the chamfered edges on my dovetails like you have in this video but I don’t want to deal with the cleanup of the glue squeeze out.
Every video reminds me that you deserve way more subscribers than you have.
Haha hopefully earn just a few more every time. Thanks so much!
Cool stuff present Nick. And cool stuff past Nick. 😁 That thing is amazing, your design aesthetic is off the hook.
I was hoping to run into you at Cam's tournament last week. Some day. 😉
Oh man! I almost went, but then the whole Uber in thing just sounded like a pain coming across town. Hopefully we bump into one another at a future thing
Thanks for sharing. I love your work. Have you tried Shaper origin for hardware installation? Ok where can I buy your craft?
I haven’t! But Have been drooling over them forever. Maybe once these videos start paying some bills, I can start to think about one. All my work is commissioned custom. Link to my website on my page if you’d like to learn more! Thanks Ed. www.finefurniture.studio/
Love your videos. Always look forward to them. What's the name of your Japanese chisels. Looking for some nice dovetail chisels. :) 😀
The designs are bad ass dude. I’m trying to start a shop of my own out of my garage atm. I was just wondering if you have any recommendations as far as marketing strategies for selling the pieces once I make them.
Awe inspiring bro!
Epic!
Man that is one sexy box. And that glass wow. Ave started doing wood working table tops live edge and one day hope to be able to be as good as u and cam. Although am not really a wood worker. Can I ask could you do a video set on your take on table leg designs? 🏴👍
とてもかわいいですね!
Odd, it's an older video with better music, lol. Lov it...
The first step is how _good_ you can possibly make it. The second step is how _efficiently_ you can make it _good enough_ to sell.
Really enjoy watching the fine skill process of these builds. Any chance of making the design of that very cool box available (for a price). Ideally, as a PDF with cut list, drawings, suggested methods of construction. I aspire to make that type of stuff but I don't get the design process.
Hey Danny. I’ve never even seen a plan, but have some contacts with referrals to build some plans for my pieces. It’s on the to-do list, but haven’t gotten there yet. I’ll post when I get that whole side put together.
Beautiful piece. How much time did you dedicate to this?
If I want one of these, what do you need from me? Would like one for my wife for our anniversary in June …..
Hey Jeff. I can probably make that happen by June. Shoot me an email Nick@Sawyer.furniture
Beautiful craftsmanship as usual. I saw you switch from Japanese chisels to Lie Nielsens. How do you like them. Any difference in application ?
I have a a few of each. I love the Japanese and the LN are great. Honestly, my set of narex are decent too. The Japanese are nice because of the triangle shape for touching up by hand and dovetails. They get stupid sharp, but also brittle. All my mortising chisels are LN and wouldn’t do it any other way.
My health is at risk here : too much jaw dropping!!!!!!
🙌🙌🙌 👍👍👍
You actually need to make custom cabinets with multifunction areas to set yourself apart and you would roll in dough to buy more tools , and have a huge challenge constantly! It’s the juice ! Not the dough! The dough buys the squeeze to make the juice!
I’ve tried cabinets. Not my thing. Too type a for sheet goods and pocket screws. Definitely where the money’s at though. Tough to install solo too and my shop’s wayyyy too small for cabinetry.
@@SawyerDesign no your right my shop is same as yours!!
That’s why I took over part of my house? (Obviously I am not married; HA!
And I skip 90% of the pocket screwing use rabbits ! Plus I dig cabinet doors so I do a lot of reskins!
Do big honking tables !!
Hey as long as your making some bucks you will grow!!! Me I hv another income from prior job,
What I found though is you gotta keep really focused! I got bored with little stuff that fit my shop?
So I threw caution to the wind and starting building big stuff and just made it work!!!
I know a guy as talented as you man!!! You gotta build huge hulking stuff worth thousands !!!
Say a huge company needs custom office furniture for you know the ppl with all the juice!!
Conference tables?
Ahhh u know sorry if I wasted you time! But your so talented as a carpenter !
Heck move the family into the shop? And make the shop in the house?
Problem solved!!!!
Do you ever use epoxy when installing those hinges? (Beautiful job btw👍)
Hey thanks Dennis! I haven’t, but only used them a couple times. Good habit to get into?
4:30 what did you do prior ? i've been watching and preparing my entry into wood works for some months too now, getting gear and building a space to work in, as you've mentioned, first year or so is practice that doesn't count.
but you and your design looks as if you've acquired many years, if not decades of experience..
and i remember you telling us you're no engineer - or was this cam (blacktail studio) ..
anyway, i always enjoy your videos, from entertaining as learning perspective and sometimes found myself waiting / wanting more of your videos :D
Cool make one 8’ x 72” x .75”. ? That was the mock up right? Kidding! Your an amazing artist !
Haha I’ll have one finished up in the next couple weeks that’s an 8’ dresser. Hard to price where people can afford/find people with the ability to pay for a $15k dresser, which is about what these are at full scale with the same detail.
@@SawyerDesign your right again! I get or got $6500 for an 8x4 by 8/4 oak table!! Not a screw or mail in it?
I thought it was worth 10G’s. So I build cabinets (very few kitchens) however I add on and consult to reskin!
Trim carpentry (very challenging) and commissioned furniture pieces priced to my profit of 30% min. Mantels are best!
Your easy for me to say; hey that Sawyer guy super talented carpenter!
Curious as to why you chose a board with the pith right in the middle?
About the only place it could be useful is for a case
Hey Nick, is it okay if I'm still jealous over that freaking workbench of yours ? ;-) and that Valet would be a good place to hide all
the Gold Bars that you have , but Shhhh don't tell anyone :-) ;-)
How has my subscriber prediction not come true yet? What can I do to get you there?
Haha John! Man I know. It’ll happen. I can feel the steam. Everyone says it feels like it hovers before it takes off. The stats are looking solid. Not sure what you could do to help. A view and a comment are what makes the difference. Shares are awesome too, but haven’t quite figured out how to make a super ‘shareable ‘ video yet. Appreciate the continued support!
Golden double stuff Oreos. That’s where it’s at.
Ohhhh man. Imma go get one right now. I do like me some OG DS though
@@SawyerDesign just don’t go mega stuff. Ruins the ratio.
How tall are you? I can’t tell if it’s the camera angle but in some of the shots you look like you could play TE in the NFL
What software are you using for your designs?
I use Rhino3D. Swapped over from Sketchup and glad I did. Much easier to manipulate curved surfaces/solids
@@SawyerDesign awesome man. Thank you!

I watched my grandpa chop his finger off with a band saw when I was a kid. He calmly picked it up and put it in his shirt pocket and wrapped his nub in a towel and off to the hospital.

Fired! Lol actually not. I’m just really bad at knowing how to edit handheld footage. His shots are awesome. Everyone’s a little shaky at 5000% speed. That’s my bad
10:53, nice tear outs.
