@Alpha Centauri because a person's political view shouldn't be what defines the person. If you watched him and didn't see he was much more complex than that it says more about you.
@@systematic101 I know this is 4 months old but I cant agree with that comment more and I am a libertarian that enjoyed hearing Ron's exaggerated points. But you hit the nail on the head. If you cant see past that, you are part of the reason we have the political climate we do.
Fun fact: The canoe he built was used in the final episode on Parks and Recreation. You can tell he has an obvious passion for fine woodworking. Great work, Nick Offerman!
I recently moved to a new area, all they have is Lowe’s and Ace Hardware. I’m a novice woodworker/general handy man through life experience and UA-cam. I can pretty much tell anyone at Lowe’s “I know more than you.” Now, my Home Depot and True Value that I used to go to at my old house, nah, they knew way more than me.
For some reason I just want Adam to come visit Ron's workshop and do some kind of one-day build with him. I feel like that's something I need to see in my life.
"Death does not scare me. What I am worried about is spoiling my children. I don’t want ’em to be the kind of people who never work. Live off their trust funds. Who BUY their wooden furniture..." - Ron Swanson
As much as I've always loved woodworking and wanted to have such a shop, I can't believe I'm just now learning that Nick Offerman is a woodworker. I like him 100 times more now.
No music No "hey guys" No excessive transition No colorful opening This is nice video Just people discussing things they love More of that is figure skating
I love the tiny moment at 5:10 when they enter the storage room and Asa visibly recoils at seeing all that wood. Just an authentic, unscripted reaction - that I think we all shared!
He acknowledges that he's lucky to have had the opportunity to get into something like p&r. Definitely not spoiled though. He's worked his ass off in acting and in woodworking. Deserves it all.
Watching this made me cry remembering my late father and grandfather who were both woodworkers. My grandfather was a carpenter who build houses and my dad was a backyard shed carpenter who basically taught himself. Those two side tables were beautiful. My dad made a statue out of an old tree stump of an unknown tree and was a similar color as to those tables. He was very talented. Hello from Australia
I get the impression that Nick started woodworking as a way to just help out. He talks about how it started because of making stage props etc and there's just something so pure about how this very skilled hobby/passion has emerged
The almost imperceptible skip at 5:04, as he goes into his “closet” is true passion. How beautiful the world would be if everyone could find and follow their passion, and help others follow theirs - it’s the core of humanity and should be the aim of society, not money!
That "little" closet full of gorgeous slabs is my dream! God i wish i had even 1 of those big slabs to work with!! Nicks an excellent, and humble guy! Never knew, now i'm a huge fan of his!! #thanksnickofferman
pal, us tree climbers have unbelievable examples available. call around check what jobs they have coming up. i craned out a 20 foot 18000 pound trunk of mottled burled oak last month, no one wanted it, kills me man. ive the same pattern in 150 yr old Cedar logs I'm slabbing today. Call around you will have that stash no problem.
I've watched this interview a few times over the years, never gets old to me. Love hearing Nick talk shop and the interviewer asks great questions. Fantastic interview/tour all around
I so loved working with wood back in school, I so miss it. I do still have a table I made in high school that is now 27 years old and still looks like it did way back when.
I’ve been a carpenter for the last 22 years since I left school and enjoy this man nick only just seen the u tube content looking now forward too reading the books 😃😃👍👍🍀⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Building guitars is the exact same feeling as he had building a boat. You just keep doing steps, then it's a beautiful guitar that can play music and you are blown away. Every guitar I finish, I swear I just get lucky.
After my father retired, I started collecting wood working equp. He passed recently, but I vowed to start doing wood work. I liked the things he made when I was very young. Quality was great with what minimal he had.
That design has been around for years. I didn't like that fact that he insinuated that he invented it. Other than that, pretty decent shop with some good old equip. No 50" thickness sander though.
Great video. One quibble though...they talk about finding large wood slabs like it's some sort of great mystery you have to solve by calling municipalities, talking to old timers at the tavern, etc. Save yourself the trouble and search the internet for "living edge slabs for sale" or "natural edge slabs" which will turn up a number if places that sell such wood. Add your location to the search and you may find one or more purveyors of such slabs nearby. I found three within a couple of hours of my southern California home. The guy I buy my slabs from deals almost exclusively in slabs of reclaimed wood. So they're out there, and the internet makes them pretty easy to find.
Most carpenters know where to get them...The best way is to look up Lumber Yard then give them a call...Most likely they'll steer you in the right directions...
He's referring mostly to the cost of them from most suppliers and how to find them for cheaper. I can go to my local woodcraft store and buy one for hundreds of dollars or I can go to my buddy who has a tree removal service and buy one for $100.
@@rrumple39 Exactly, our club occasionally get emails from people who want to sell us bowl blanks. They don't realize we are like chainsaw beavers when a tree comes down.

If you really want to learn to woodwork start doing projects using only hand tools. No machine planers, machine saws, Routers or cheap tacky gadgets. Just plain tooles like handplanes, Hand saws, Squares, Chisels and other hand tools. Learn to square the wood by hand, learn to cut straight by hand and learn how to choose wood. If you stick to these basic concepts then you can become an exceptional woodworker. You will not be good at everything but you will hone in on areas that you are good at and enjoy. Do not just think about the finished product but try and get pleasure out of the techniques. I just love cutting joints by hand.
Nick is a real human. And a craftsman. I’m so glad I found this. Nick is Ron. Ron is nick. Except Nick is a real dude. And he makes legend stuff out of wood.
He just stopped talking because of the loud noise for a second. As a furniture maker, I can guarantee he didnt care even a little bit. Us carpenters are used to starting and stopping conversation from the sounds of saw, drills, or wood banging. Its no big deal.
There are differences, but probably more similarities than a humble person would feel comfortable admitting. Also, now I want an "Iron Man and Ron Swanson vs. The World" movie. Or maybe we can get Ron Swanson a cameo in Avengers? I mean, he IS a park ranger now.
this man is my role model. go to the same university he went to and he did some work in our japanese garden a few years back. some fine alumni the u of I has!!

totally! editor of magazine or not, it's bad manners getting too comfortable without the green light from a host. when he has his foot up on the stump about 6 minutes up... wanted to choke the guy. lol.
I like how he repeatedly says he's fortunate. it's always a good quality to count your blessings and be humble. What a great great man.
he even called his canoe "lucky boy"!
yeah he doesn't have to apologize for being successful.
I’m reading his book “Good Clean Fun” and he’s incredibly humble and thankful for everyone that’s helped him throughout his life.

Wow a multi millionaire talking about how good they've got it but don't help a single soul... you're a fucking idiot...
He also uses the word "earned" instead of "get" when talking about having a workshop that big at the beginning.
I wanna see Nick Offerman make UA-cam videos on woodworking
He has a couple making cedar strip canoes
Watch Thomas Johnson Antique Furniture Repair. It’s like drugs man.
Also, meat and tall ships.

They have some awesome stuff.

The best thing about Nick is he clearly is 80% Ron.
***** Same thing.
***** But he was born from Nick, 80% worth I'd say.
Most of the cast of Parks & Rec are also true to their characters.
That's alright: Real Humans can't be that perfect
If you want some great woodworking plans then I recommend you visit this website here: HootWood. com
I absolutely love that Ron Swanson is basically him exaggerated.
A lot of great characters are based off of the actors themselves IRL
Basically, in one strand of the character, but aye...

I like how you can see Nick's mind melting as the host touches his rig. It is like a dude sitting on your motorcycle without asking
Noticed that too, really bugged me that he kept touching everything
I don’t really think he cares tbh..
I doubt he cared very much.
@@beezymeech I disagree, but that is okay.
He'll consider himself fortunate to spend the afternoon checking alignment on everything.
So him going to Lowe’s on Parks and Rec was truly him... Employee: “Can I help you sir”...... Ron: “I know more than you” keeps walking

Nice catch! I'll bet the place is full of quietly integrated, well-thought-out touches.

Nick keeps impressing me, not just down to earth but earnestly normal.
"And this goes up and down?"
Nick: "Yes, it goes up and down."
you've gewatchen the video too ?
Its rare you get an actor that's good with his hands and knows his stuff! Love and respect this guy.
That surfacing jig is a great idea! I don't have room for a planer but could maybe build that jig to use occasionally.. nice work Nick.

Fine, you win this time, Offerman.
It's so relieving to see an actor actually talk about chop saws, band saws, joiners, etc. is so so cool
His beard grew throughout the video.
This has to be the most chill video on UA-cam.
It just hit me that the interviewer guy's the same as the one who walked out when Ron got his chair award.
