One tip that I have seen used to help keep glue off the outside edges where it squeezes out when gluing thing together is to put a strip of take right along the outside edges. Then the glue squeezes out on to the glue and you just peal off the tape and squeeze out is handled.
Gorgeous results! I have a pine “screw stool” I bought at least 40 years ago at a trendy furniture store in Miami, FL!! Not nearly a nice as yours, the screw has much thicker threads, but is still with me in one piece through the abuse of my 3 kids over the years. Your craftsmanship is so inspiring! I just started following your channel today after looking for a design for a Murphy desk - found yours - another excellent creation, and well beyond my ability, though I’m going to use laminate on the desk surface like you did. My 9 y/o grandson asked me to “help” him make one for his room - can’t say no to that. 😊 Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
There is nothing more calming and humbling than watching you make something, sir. It’s like spending the entire night at a remote beach watching the night sky while listening to the waves roll and crash.
The black wattle is gorgeous. I think a lot of people think this wood is rubbish. But as always you show otherwise. I think all wood is useful to some degree just need to be mindful of what you use it for. Well done as always 🎉🙂
I really appreciate that you admit that you aren't sure if things will work, and will go back and fix them later if you need. Too many UA-camrs etc. act like they know exactly what they are doing and every decision is perfect. Nice to hear someone admitting that's not how things work and sometimes you gotta take a punt, then come back and fix/improve it later if you need to
An excellent channel for the presence of Arabic translation, and we learn a lot about the matter of carpentry, and we follow you from Saudi Arabia. Thank you, Mr.
Gorgeous, I love these videos- all the fat trimmed out. Talking only when necessary to describe what you're doing, no annoying background music, and gorgeous designs executed skillfully.
There were some difficult angles to work with, at least for us mere mortals! You, on the other hand, just sailed on like no worries. It really is fun to watch you tackle those issues. Those stools are simply beautiful. Thanks for taking us along.
the thought and detail that goes into the project, filming and explanations are top notch. Love the attitude towards creating quality tools & jigs. I always learn something. thanks for sharing!
One of the best things I have gleaned from your videos is learning, understanding, and appreciating the "art" of the jig. Your work is very high quality and your skills are inspirational. Many thanks, best wishes, and stay healthy.
You recon right! They are great pieces of art which especially show off your expertise and craftsmanship! Lots and lots of tips here that fall over to other projects! Those spindles were absolutely perfect!!
I can’t tell you how much I enjoy your videos. If you aren’t a millionaire you should be and you should have your own TV show. Thanks for sharing Pask!
Beautiful design/construction! Complimented very well by the black wattle! Definitely would love to watch you make more furniture with that wood. Thank you for sharing this.
I bought a whole pack of it to make a kitchen island. I just never get around to finalising a design to get it done or started. I have been talking about it though this last week. :)
Favorite woodworking channel. It's amazing how you can inspire and excite me about woodworking while at the same time have me say "man I am definitely not as good as you are."
I had an interest in carpentry years ago but it faded. The problem was two fold; First, the only commonly available materials in my area is limited. It's limited to spruce. That's pretty much it. The second reason was lack of talent. I truly suck at woodworking. That's why I became a welder.I can literally cut it twice! (If I mess up I weld it back on and recut it....LOL) In any event, I truly enjoy watching how you build your various projects. You have a remarkable talent and a great degree of craftsmanship in your work that is seldom seen these days. I wished I lived closer to you so I could purchase a thing or two from you but Australia to Canada freight would be a killer and there is no guarantee that anything would arrive undamaged. A project you might want to consider is building an arbour press. When you make your dowels you are hammering them through the dies. If you had an arbour press it seems to me that it would be much faster and simpler than hammering. Another thing I noticed was when you applied glue down into the dowel holes, you poked it in with an artist brush handle which is kind of messy. I would suggest to you that you make a special glue bottle end with an empty plastic refill from a ballpoint pen. Simple drill out an old glue bottle top so the refill fits it tight and then affix it with hot melt glue. Because it's small enough to go into your dowel hole you can inject the glue into the hole from the bottom up ensuring a more complete surface coverage. Clean it out after each use so it's ready for the next job. Just a suggestion.
Amazing project, Neil. In addition, you're setting a good example for safety, especially at the tablesaw, always using clamps and pushsticks. There are a lot of others these days... I like.
I am fully addicted to your videos. I've only found your channel recently after looking for some simple projects to do and have spent the last few weeks watching the videos in whatever order the UA-cam algorithm suggests them to me. It's been a true pleasure watching you work. I've been watching your subscriber count steadily grow and I can't wait until you hit 1 million. I can't think of an artist more deserving. Keep up the great work and thank you for the inspiration!
Still don’t understand why anyone would give this video a thumbs down. Your skills are incredible and you make everything look soooo easy. Keep the videos coming!
Like these mate nice job. A glue clean up tip I got from Marius Hornberger (on youtube) was to use the "Unspeakable" plastic straw, push the end into the new glue joint and run it the length of the joint. The straw scoops the excesses glue squeeze out, when ya fill an inch/25mm of it snip it off start again. Your native woods look amazing btw
Neil, you've done it again! Those stools are GORGEOUS! Although the Pask family must all be blessed with tiny bums - those diminutive seats would never support the ample derrieres in my household!
I have a pair of curved jaw cable shears that I use for cutting short dowels (both for joining and plugging). They're quicker than a saw and crush the fibers at the end making a bit of a radius for easy insertion.
There are a lot of little tips and tricks that you use that I will find very helpful, thanks! Now I just need to get a few more of the essential shop equipment - Like a bandsaw, a lathe, an edge planer...
Thank you so much for your great work and videos. I'm really impressed of your talent and learned a lot of you. This video inspired me so much I built the same stools made out of reclaimed Rimu. A lot of work but they're stunning. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
That black wattle lumber has such lovely color and figure. I was tickled to see that it looks much like the mesquite from Texas that I enjoy building with. Info on Wikipedia indicates both trees thrive in semi-arid temperature climates and have a similar growing habit, even to the bearing similar leaves and flowers. Many thanks for your inspirational and educational videos.
You are definitely the king of the woodmakers all around the universe! I really love the way you work! Perfect! You think about every details and your hands serve your brain perfectly. Very well done :)
As usual Neil, you make the complicated look easy. I have some homework to do before I attempt this. Like learning the thread cutting box, which I’m going to watch next. I would have really liked to have seen how you made the tapering jig. Thank you Neil for another great and challenging project. Can’t wait for the next one.
Asking why you make your own dowels when you could just buy them is a lot like asking why you made your own stools, when you could just buy them. It's all for the joy and uniqueness of woodworking!
What a great video. It's hard to say what I loved the most about it: the tools, the materials or the skills. Everything top! So to be on the safe side, I choose for the wood inspectors🐕
I have the worst time getting my head around compound angles. So, this is amazing to me. Beside the technical skill involved, you've also made some really lovely stools there!
I always do look forward too your videos, your projects always look great it also interesting too see the different woods you makers in in Australia have too work with vs US in the USA... I really would like too see your take on a Dog house.
Besides the astonishing quality of your work for me the main lesson is how to deal with your mistakes and get solutions, no school can do that teaching.
Just spent two days in the shop making a table for my son... Come out and watch more shop stuff lol fantastic work mate always look forward to your vids Might have to burn the table though now after seeing this lol. Cheers
What! No boiled linseed oil??! The hard wax oil looks amazing. It's nice to see black wattle being used like this. I mainly see it going into fire places and the BBQ here in South Africa.
This here's the wattle, the emblem of our land. You can stick it in a bottle, you can hold it in your hand. (Thanks Monty Python!) Didn't know wattle would look that good. Great project and tips, thank you Neil. Cheers, David
Mate them stools turned out perfect I"m not really into wood work ,may be the odd hammer handle . But I copied the forge you built and mate it works like a charm . And that threading tool it's amazing .
I’d love a shirt that says “I’m not sure if that was the best way to do it... but it DID work”
Yes, because that's my life sometimes!
Phenomenal
I'd buy it.
I’d buy it too. Pask, add it to your offering.
Sounds cool to me! :)
From several perspectives (technical, artistic, and entertainment, among others) your videos are just fantastic. Thank you Neil!
Thanks very much Tharemy - glad you're enjoying them! :)
Agreed! Absolutely love watching these videos!
Can't agree more !
I'm always impressed by how a woodworker can cut different geometries with such ease. Simple stuff here I know, but it still melts my mind.
Practice my friend
Love both these channels 🤩 excited to see them in the same place 😍
Don't worry, it got me scratching my head too! ;)
@@mattk6101 practical my dear
but we do it wrong many times ...
Pask's woodworking skills are superb, however his videos are so pleasant to watch, the light is always impeccable, nice work.

An excellent channel for the presence of Arabic translation, and we learn a lot about the matter of carpentry, and we follow you from Saudi Arabia. Thank you, Mr.
Amazing how much work goes into making what at first glance appears to be a rather simple (but elegant) piece of furniture.
Gorgeous, I love these videos- all the fat trimmed out. Talking only when necessary to describe what you're doing, no annoying background music, and gorgeous designs executed skillfully.
Sir, my respect to you, for being one of the greatest Woodworkers walking this Earth. Greetings from Mexico.
There were some difficult angles to work with, at least for us mere mortals! You, on the other hand, just sailed on like no worries. It really is fun to watch you tackle those issues.
Those stools are simply beautiful. Thanks for taking us along.
wood working for mere mortals?

i showed my dad your channel while he was in the hospital & he fell in love. now hes out & we still talk about your videos. keep it up
Dude you're not a wood-worker, you're an artist. Every single project of yours is a real work of art.
It's always a good day when you upload a video! The threading box is brilliant. I'll have to que that video next.
I 2nd that!
Brilliant. Thank you. I love this style of furnishings but the antiques market is ludicrously cost prohibitive. Again my thanks and admiration.
You recon right! They are great pieces of art which especially show off your expertise and craftsmanship! Lots and lots of tips here that fall over to other projects! Those spindles were absolutely perfect!!
Your attention to detail never fails to impress me. Thanks for posting!

Neil you are always seeking to improve your creations. It is the bane of all makers.
Excellent work mr. Pask 👏 seeing so many your previous projects involved, making this one even better I'm sooo impressed
Very satisfying......threads look perfect, joints fit perfectly, dowels fit perfectly. Well done.
Those are beautiful stools.
And the way they were built, amazing! I love both the process and the result.

Beautiful design, beautiful work. How on earth anyone can put a dislike to this video is beyond me.
It's always a pleasure to watch your videos mate as there's always satisfaction in each video. Stunning work chap.

That's beautiful wood, and the use of shop made tools makes it even better.
you make it seem so easy and relaxing. fortunately i've tried some woodworking and know better. i'll never fall for that again.
you know the wood is hard when you can see your chisel's reflection
What she said..
I came to the comments section looking for this!
Thank you so much for your great work and videos. I'm really impressed of your talent and learned a lot of you. This video inspired me so much I built the same stools made out of reclaimed Rimu. A lot of work but they're stunning. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
I just want to say that, this is an excellent creative video.
Very well done.
Love them! I think you achieved what you wanted...beefing them up, but allowing them to remain elegant looking. Nice job!
Thanks very much Bruce - glad you agree! :)
Phenomenal, and gorgeous. That wood 'tap' is incredible. Well done, well done.
Thanks very much Keith! :)

This aren't simple stools,these are masterpieces my friend 👏 👏 👏 👏 !!!

I'm not a woodworker but I'm addicted to your videos! I found you a couple weeks ago and seen almost all videos already
Same here
Gorgeous looking. Beautifully built.
I did an audible “nice!” when you revealed the on-corner drill holes. So satisfying
It was the same feeling for me when I removed the guide on the first one! :)
Pask Makes did you sharpen the bit before your first one?
I'm from Brazil, I always watch your videos, they are fantastic. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Eine wunderschöne und gelungene Arbeit. BRAVO und alle Hochachtung!!!
Qué buen trabajo y qué prolijo. Ver videos de carpinteros tan profesionales como vos ejercen un efecto hipnótico sobre mí 🤣🤣🤣
F’ing stunning, love the corner dowels
I'm always happy, whenever there is a new video from you. Great projects, never dissappointing! 👍🏾
Neil, two words.. Master Craftsman! Bloody brilliant! Regards, Mark
Wow. Really great build. Those multiple angles are hard for me to wrap my hear around. Well done!!
Absolute works of art and so many clever tips and tricks that would never have occurred to me. Very nicely done sir
Well done Neil! Your videos are most entertaining! I always first check your site for new content.
Thanks very much Dustin! :)
I have the worst time getting my head around compound angles. So, this is amazing to me.
Beside the technical skill involved, you've also made some really lovely stools there!
If I could only watch one Channel, it would be yours! You NEVER fail to amaze me. Beautiful!
Thanks very much! :)
Lovely stools. Very nice wood. Your videos are always fun and informative. Greetings from Canada.
Beautiful craftmanship, Neil. That black wattle wood looks awesome.
*Whittle wax and Wattle wood;* a great combination Neil; who knew?
The durability of the wooden threads really intrigues me. *Well done.*
Another masterclass in fine practicle woodwork. Cheers
Beautiful. Glad you tried and liked the Whittle waxes - they are my next purchase! Thanks for sharing your skills with us, Neil. Cheers 🍻🙏
Thanks very much Mandy! You'll love the Whittle waxes! :)
Excellent workman ship! That wood looks to be strong, hard and finishes beautifully.
I always do look forward too your videos, your projects always look great it also interesting too see the different woods you makers in in Australia have too work with vs US in the USA... I really would like too see your take on a Dog house.
Thanks for this clear and enjoyable video mate. Good work. You're a clear headed craftsman. Enjoyed thoroughly.
19:46 New Aldi Clamps! I got some too.
22:35 Oooh that screw is so smoooth... Great job as always
The threads really did come out well in black wattle! :)
Again, Neil, beautiful stuff well explained. A very elegant pair of stools. Thank you.
Always brilliant, inspiring and helpful. All the tips for drilling and cutting are so useful. Thanks Neil, another super vid. Love those doggies.
Besides the astonishing quality of your work for me the main lesson is how to deal with your mistakes and get solutions, no school can do that teaching.
Just spent two days in the shop making a table for my son... Come out and watch more shop stuff lol fantastic work mate always look forward to your vids Might have to burn the table though now after seeing this lol.
Cheers
I'm sure the table is great! :)
Everytime I watch you make something I just want to go to shop and try it. That was great!
That's awesome Akeem! :)
“This Aussie is just brilliant!” Comment I say out loud to myself multiple times in every video.
What! No boiled linseed oil??! The hard wax oil looks amazing. It's nice to see black wattle being used like this. I mainly see it going into fire places and the BBQ here in South Africa.
Considering that you made the first two a few years ago they still look very contemporary and as always another great build, well done Neil 👍🇬🇧
Great work as always!! Also, any video that starts out with your 2 shop buddies automatically gets a thumbs up!
I think they've turned out nicely...
that is truly some spectacular looking wood....tons of great figure in them
This here's the wattle, the emblem of our land. You can stick it in a bottle, you can hold it in your hand. (Thanks Monty Python!) Didn't know wattle would look that good. Great project and tips, thank you Neil. Cheers, David
Awesome! You are a poet with that wood.
Beautiful work sir. Elegant result and a magnificent use of self made tools once again.
That black wattle is beautiful.
Mate them stools turned out perfect I"m not really into wood work ,may be the odd hammer handle .
But I copied the forge you built and mate it works like a charm .
And that threading tool it's amazing .
A look at all the builds and DIY jobs you've done for your house would be so good
Those look great Neil! Well done! I like the beefier look from the previous ones
Thanks Jessie - I didn't think I would before I started them but I agree with you! :)
Glad you use you powers for good . You have an amazing mind and great skill to go with it. Thank you for sharing
Awesome work. It is always so relaxing to watch you video’s!! Thanks man for the great content!!
Great Job Neil , have a nice day and Stay Safe !!!.
