I’d appreciate it if you stop speaking so highly of cherry. I love using it and don’t want it to become the next white oak. I like the price where it is. 😅
"if you haven't guessed, I'm a little weird"... nah dude, you're a lot weird but also one of the best and most entertaining woodworkers on UA-cam! luv ur vids.
Knowledge isn’t power, it’s freedom. Our purpose of life is to understand that no matter what path, or way, we choose to seek our personal nirvana, they all end with the same thing. Paradox. No good/bad, right or wrong, true or false, it’s a both /and . You are not alone in this thinking, as I recently undertook a design that I came up with for a customer who said “ I want kinda Asian style “. As I worked on it I acquired Japanese tools, and I acquired a different perspective that went from form following function to what would the wood choose? Grain arches, visible defects, and what is a defect but a history lesson of growth? Internal stress and reaction wood. I have that going on in my self. I learned so much from that build that she wanted my next one, which I just delivered a week ago and it blew me away that I was able to incorporate Red Mulberry lumber into it. The silkworms that feed on that produces the finest silks. You are as crazy as you want to be, I too am neurodivergent and I figure that you can’t stay centered unless you know where the edges are. I like living on the edges, it’s too crowded in the center. And I don’t like people who say that I think outside the box, I just just never knew that there was a box. Love your work/ play. Always a thought provoking time when I tune in to see what you are up to now.
Very interesting. Not my taste but that’s irrelevant. I think it would be helpful to many if you could tell us, particularly on pieces not for sale, what the timber cost and how many hours of labour you spent. A son is evolving from joinery to fine furniture and he finds it difficult to predict costs. The long term way is experience but, in the meantime, others such as you saying that piece had timber costing $2000 and took 48 hours would accelerate that process.
"Any fool can know. The point is to understand." - Albert Einstein // Facts only provide the most shallow description of our world. Children get it, when they continuedly ask "Why?" as they seek to go beyond mere facts and understand why. I love to watch groups of people at the mall, or airport, or wherever and find someone whose behavior doesn't make sense, then try to figure out why. Great build, love the use of cherry. No idea why people poo-poo cherry anymore, some of the most beautiful furniture I've ever seen is made out of cherry.
+1 for a tour. Also, the difference between knowledge and understanding is the same is the difference between education and intelligence, I think. Knowledge without understanding leads to ignorance running rampant with an air of hubris and pride.... and is unfortunately all too common.
Fantastic desk Sawyer, the curl in the cherry you picked for the top is beautiful. When you started building I was wishing I had a local place with that much nice cherry thinking all your lumber had the figure. When you built the leg wing it was obvious you selected the best for the top. I've had a desk project in walnut that I stalled out on almost two years ago because I'm not sure I'm confident in the legs. That and I planed through mortise and wedges to attach them and I'm little intimidated. I just poke around in the shop though so all my projects take awhile. I appreciate your sharing your work with us, it is inspirational.
Nick, beautiful desk, dude. Naturally, my wife walked in and said, "OMG, that's awesome..." so I think I have a Future Matt project. Somebody's probably already taken you to task on that jank-asstic gucci move of doing the desktop on the router table, so I'll let you risk your fingers some more. Please do keep putting your philosophic reflections in these videos. You're on the right track, man. It's not totally related to your content here, but I'd highly recommend you explore some of the Stoics (Marcus Aurelius, ofc, because he's the OG Stoic). I suspect you'd like that once you're nearing the end of your quasi-Buddhist reflections... if you haven't already. Knowledge =/= understanding. Word. Wish more people could think their way to that... understanding level.
Another awesome build! Two things i learned from watching this video: I'm really stupid, and I'm not that good at wood working... Its always humbling seeing your finished projects keep up the good work!
Poetry reminded me of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Lol jk But the function to the form of the desk is beneficial to the patella that will never be hit as opposed to other desks. Great build!
I enjoy following your design process. Thank you for sharing. As for the philosophical elements: keep them coming. I spend quite a bit of time pondering some of the same topics. Regardless of the means of "enlightenment" the willingness to strive/search for betterment is always worth the effort. Once again, thank you. Oh, and the desk is wonderful.
Love your work! I wanted to echo your discussion about knowledge and understanding. As a college prof for many years, this is something many of us emphasized to our students. That first one must acquire knowledge and what they do with that may or may not lead to understanding. IN many things. Maybe the same is true of creativity. One can copy someone else's design (for anything) over and over and be really good at it but never achieve anything creative. Just my 2 cents.
Table is awesome but are all your videos filled with the talks of mastery / enlightenment stuff? If so, I'll probably still watch just have to turn sound off from time to time but it just caught me off guard bc I was expecting just woodworking lol.
Got to drop some praise for your channel as a whole real quick: Your story telling and editing are phenomenal, not to mention I think you might be one of the most talented woodworkers on UA-cam. My channel is small time right now, but I def look toward your style to help guide me. 120k is bananas, you should easily be gold play button dude. Blow and tickle!
Fantastic build, that cherry looks beautiful!!! Awesome video, great beats, editing, and commentary!!! I bet it would be fun to chill and talk with you, stay Awesome brother!!!
Soooo, I'm sorry I haven't been around, yourself, foureyes,Blacktail,Johnny Builds , while my usual go to's for enjoyable content and craftsmanship....dude you've been replaced by Create design. This is actual wood working pornography. He'll even show you why you're steam bends didn't work
I currently get my wood from woodcrafters in SE portland, but intrigued at hardwood industries. Is it the one in Clackamas or Sherwood? Love your builds - keep it up!

Great project, really enjoyed watching the skill involved 👍 beautiful end result. But, about the 30min mark I put it on silent, the carry on voice over was a bit to much for me.
New subscriber, love the video work, wood work, philosophy, poetry, music, etc etc. but I do wonder what happened to your right hand. It looks rather painful-hope it isn't but hope you are doing well.
Random thought early in watching the video; while solid wood is nice, have you considered doing a torsion box for this kind of 'space hungry' design and then veneering? OK; back to watching...
Second random comment... Did you just cut the edge of your stunning over-the-top workbench?! Was there footage of you pondering whether to end your existence that was left out for brevity?
Lovely table. But the cherry planks glued together just doesn’t look right at least on one leg to me. Could tell too much that they are a bunch of boards glued up. But if it’s for me, I be okay with that normally. Not as skilled as you by no means. And my desk would prob be seen by others showing off my quality of work. I wouldn’t be comfy with that as a somewhat newer woody. But cherry is def on my list to look at.
Love it, particularly the lines. But curious, did you really need dominos in the stub tenons. Or was the knock down joinery a necessity. Why not just glue, and save the maths?
Does having a massive (heavy) work piece help with any potential catching situations with the router? It looked like quite a challenge getting it moved around and a big potential for kickback, or whatever the router version is.
Love watching your videos, your work always feels like it is pushing creativity in furniture design. Also do you have a track listings for the music ? thanks
I’ve had the thought that a Camvac 90L might benefit your dust collection ability in a small shop. I thought that when you mentioned the over the blade last video and now watching you clean up the hammer
17:52 ah so the gaps between the panels are relatively normal huh? They drive me crazy during glueups but thankfully my glueups always turn out ok. I suppose this is why
I just realized that the insert in your planer cuts down the time raising and lowering the table. I have the same A31 combo and it's kind of a pain in the ass to constantly adjust the table. What's the size of that insert? I'd love to build one myself
Awesome build. but please look at the camera lense or the work piece your talking about, theres nothing worse than looking at you whil you talk to us looking at yourself in the lcd
Any particular reason that you wrestled to move the massive desk around the stationary router table rather than let the desk sit still and move the router?
haha thanks and good question! There's double sided sticky tape and double sided pressure sensitive tape which isn't that sticky, but actually works a lot better.
Thanks so much for taking the time to watch!
And Big thanks to NorthOne for partnering with us on this video! Use my link to apply for NorthOne and create a business bank account in as little as 3 minutes: bit.ly/3VaybYv
Hardwood Industries, stand up! Hope Gil is giving you the good guy price ;-)
WestSeven sure is great!
A tour of your fancy modern wood supplier sounds amazing
I’d appreciate it if you stop speaking so highly of cherry. I love using it and don’t want it to become the next white oak. I like the price where it is. 😅
Yes I agree 100%
Thank god it's not another Flexi-Spot Table 😂
I have no idea what you're talking aboit half of the time in your videos. But thats totally ok! Great build! 😂❤❤
That makes two of us lol thanks!
Awesome table, but your poetry is really bad. Please don't do that again.
Hahaha noted. Had to try 😂
@@SawyerDesign That gives me an idea btw, try to make Vogonian furniture 🤣
I hope you dedicate a poem to them in your next video
Ruck off
Yes more poems and dedicated poems even better. Beat it haters lol
"if you haven't guessed, I'm a little weird"... nah dude, you're a lot weird but also one of the best and most entertaining woodworkers on UA-cam! luv ur vids.
Awesome build! I'm digging the soundtrack. Can you share the music?

Bill Shakespeare + Bob the Builder = Sawyer the Designer
Whos Bill Shakespeare?
Epic Build! Sounds like Jesus has an answer in the Gospel of John. Please consider reading it. Thanks.
Your design and execution is top notch.
Definitely the first woodworking video I’ve watched that has the words “watch me nay nay” 😂. Love the videos and the sick beats!

Tour of the wood dealer would be awesome! And yes, Cherry is most certainly an awesome and under-appreciated wood.
Have you tried if it actually comes back to you if you throw the desk?
Awesome build, Nick!
For the love of god please film a tour of that supplier it sounds amazing
Once again i had to turn the volume level down until i could just about not hear the absolute dribble coming out of his mouth, Desk is nice though.
Poetry reminded me of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Lol jk
But the function to the form of the desk is beneficial to the patella that will never be hit as opposed to other desks. Great build!
I enjoy following your design process. Thank you for sharing. As for the philosophical elements: keep them coming. I spend quite a bit of time pondering some of the same topics. Regardless of the means of "enlightenment" the willingness to strive/search for betterment is always worth the effort. Once again, thank you. Oh, and the desk is wonderful.
Nice content.
I'd be curious if the titanium layer of those chisels would clog up the CBN wheels I use.
Tour of that hardwood suppliers warehouse!! That sounds wild!!
Weird, for lack of a better word, is good. Weird works.
Nice table, you could have used your Shaper to cut your patch.
Totally could have! Might have been faster, but I love an opportunity to use a chisel
I'm very interested in your hardwood supplier.
Gorgeous!!! The desk, not you, but you’re teddy bear cute too. Really enjoyed watching the process.
😂
What a treat! Thanks, as always!

Sheesh I looked up those chisels, $1500! Too rich for my blood as a big newbie. I'd be afraid to use such expensive chisels anyway ;)
Unless they never need sharpening, I don't see any chisel set being worth close to that.
Got to drop some praise for your channel as a whole real quick:
Your story telling and editing are phenomenal, not to mention I think you might be one of the most talented woodworkers on UA-cam. My channel is small time right now, but I def look toward your style to help guide me. 120k is bananas, you should easily be gold play button dude. Blow and tickle!
Gorgeous design. Thank you so much for sharing with us!
yes youre leaving furniture, but its definitely art too. you make amazing things.
Great design! Beautiful execution. As always Thank you for sharing. I learn a ton just from watching you.
Really nice design! Happy computering!
Fantastic build, that cherry looks beautiful!!! Awesome video, great beats, editing, and commentary!!! I bet it would be fun to chill and talk with you, stay Awesome brother!!!

😊
Buddhist woodworking…gotta love it!!
I currently get my wood from woodcrafters in SE portland, but intrigued at hardwood industries. Is it the one in Clackamas or Sherwood? Love your builds - keep it up!
Very interesting and visually stunning design. Really highlights the beauty of the cherry, too!

Love your work/ play. Always a thought provoking time when I tune in to see what you are up to now.
Excellent work! I enjoy watching you work and the techniques you employ. Keep the videos coming please.
Would love a tour of that wood lazer machine! You can't go wrong with lazers! Awesome work as always! Love your videos😃
Great project, really enjoyed watching the skill involved 👍 beautiful end result.
But, about the 30min mark I put it on silent, the carry on voice over was a bit to much for me.

Big man amazing video as usual
I might have to watch it a few times to get the philosophy tho

The table looks great! Thanks for sharing your knowledge, talent, and your philosophical thoughts on life.
♥️♥️♥️ if I had a computer desk like that, I might actually give up my iPad and get a real computer! Love it!!
Love watching your videos, your work always feels like it is pushing creativity in furniture design. Also do you have a track listings for the music ? thanks

Slow down that wisdom, my woodcrafting brethren.
Great build btw, thanks for sharing!
Enjoy your content. Wax poetic or wax philosophical but please no more background music
incredible workmanship, but I'm not gonna lie. I'm liking the video for the cat content
Tour of wood supplier. Yes, please!
I just realized that the insert in your planer cuts down the time raising and lowering the table. I have the same A31 combo and it's kind of a pain in the ass to constantly adjust the table. What's the size of that insert? I'd love to build one myself
Nice work! Thank you for sharing your process. May I ask what CAD software are you using? ☮️
Awesome build.
but please look at the camera lense or the work piece your talking about, theres nothing worse than looking at you whil you talk to us looking at yourself in the lcd
Roses are red violets are blue, poetry is hard, woodwork…. Awesome build as always, PEACE!✌️
Hahaha yours wins. Thanks Shaun!
When did you replace the Harvey? How do you like the Sawstop in comparison?
Lovely table. Have you got some similarly interesting projects to use and not waste the offcuts ?
You need a better thumbnail. I almost skipped it until I was it was one of yours.
Its a shame how these are still hidden from my timeline. Always 5/7 videos with insanity any% commentary
Soo Beutifull, but question just for lear, why you don't use Rubio Monocoat?
Any particular reason that you wrestled to move the massive desk around the stationary router table rather than let the desk sit still and move the router?
When will you and Bourbon Moth be doing a collaboration? you two are so close to each other this needs to happen.
I love watching your videos man. Amazing work you do!
Awesome project, can you share where you got the leather tool belt holder? Thanks!
We got to hide those cables in the wall. Would look even better! Lowe’s has a super easy diy kit.
Great looking desk, the design hits it !
When your writing on the table top...what type of surface is that?
I need a better solution versus a white board.
Philosophy and wood working are like mortise in tenon, I love the life advice
a fairly simple design complicated by your nerdy brain, brilliant more please.
This was woodworking s*x, thanks man for the drop and the sweet music
Enough is enough any further videos of yours will be watched in mute
Very practical computer table for a small room. Sleek design i love it
I see Cherry, Thank you, something that isn't White Oak.
Не проще ручным фрезером... Чем толкать такую махину по столу...
Anyone else hear YYZ dusting the chisel section around 22:30?
Glad to see I am not the only one with a Hammer combo jointer/planer that has to do massive cleanup with the dust collector after I am done.
I'm gonna make your desk for myself, nice design
Your staple puller is a little over priced there…
Reminds me of the work of George Nakashima. Very nice.
Sorry to tell you this , but you are slowly loosing your mind.
Intro music is definitely Nas X call me by your name
I would not put you being on OF past you… just saying lol
I feel like I got played on the standing part ... 🤔
Not a new thing...and I have heard it many times on this and other channels... but is there double sided non-sticky tape? As always beautiful work.
haha thanks and good question! There's double sided sticky tape and double sided pressure sensitive tape which isn't that sticky, but actually works a lot better.
Show us the Hardwood Industries tour!
