I am a 62 year old woman who started making my own furniture. I been giving away all my partical board furniture. It's a joy watching you. I'm inspired. This is beautiful.

[@bretyost]

I was trying to explain to a friend how hand made furniture is literally art, no different than carving marble or painting. I'm going to be showing them this video.

[@leetexel5537]

*TopFineWoodworking. Com* is an amazing book about wood working. I took several classes and completed a one year diploma in carpentry at a local tech college; this is better than any book I worked out of during those courses. It includes useful photos and goes over almost everything.

[@Username-ng8jy]

My dad recently started experimenting with hand making. He’s been a cabinet builder for homes for years. But as he’s older. He just wants to take his time now. He’s reaching his 70s and he’s made some crazy ass pieces. Things he has wanted to try since he began wood work. He couldn’t due to job deadlines. Now he’s older he has time to relax. He clearly did his homework. I’m thinking about making my own furniture for my house as well. But indeed it’s an art.

[@fekhalomen]

@Joe Costner if something is beautiful it can no longer be useless

[@gregd6022]

well the handheld CNC has enabled him. pre CNC yeah then you had to really be a "carver" and few could do it well, except in Japan, the wood working there is at a whole diff level.

[@TotemoGaijin]

@@jamesmccaul2945 A bit pretentious sounding. If art is in the eye of the beholder, then the moment someone thinks of this as art, its art.

[@jrbird1983]

Tip: Try using a pad on your orbital sander and stick a green scrub pad from the sink to take off the extra glue. It won't eat into the wood and leves a soft finish that you stain or lacquer will love to stick to.

[@bushidoway]

What a great build! Your furniture designing is amazing and I love your precision and non-compromising attention to details.

[@Seastheday88]

Single-handedly one of the most well thought out pieces of furniture I've seen on YT so far

[@mlk4343]

This has to be one the best builds I've seen on KZbin, and I've been following woodworking channels for many years now. You achieved an amazing balance between sophisticated simplicity and good taste. Good job!

[@nohandlethanx]

THAT IS SO BEAUTIFUL! I love the different woods used and how detailed everything is. I also appreciate how you also think of assembling the top in a way that allows for future servicing. Such attention to the craft.

[@omzbonez]

this was literally insane to watch! Easily would take me 9 billion years to imitate. Well done

[@macexpert7247]

24:15 picking up excess glue with a straw, genius!

[@jonasholzem2909]

Yes, that trick is going into the repertoire!

[@Rottwiler44]

Ikr?! I was like :0

[@musicguru102]

HELL YES! Stealing that one haha

[@Crushonius]

that straw trick is like decades old , here is one that is even more than a century old but still super useful when you try to glue wood you often have the problem that one piece moves when you try to clamp it to prevent this after you apply the glue throw a pinch of salt on the glue before adding the second piece it will stay aligned and wont budge when you clamp it

[@proximalgaming]

Just his excuse to get McNuggets on a Wednesday 😂

[@SahilYousif]

One of the most beautiful pieces of furniture I've seen in a while. Really enjoy watching all your videos!

[@dominiquedesbiens4383]

Tres tres jolie réalisation je suis toujours admiratif de votre travail notamment sur les portes coulissantes, j ai realise un ensemble de 2 plateaux avec ce type de bois. Encore bravo et merci pour toutes ces videos

[@Lebowski69]

yep!

[@himanshujain9584]

came here to post the ditto comment word by word.. looks like you have already posted :)

[@tovemagnussen4423]

Awsome! ❤ This remind me of the the Radionette cabinet our family had in the 60's. Speakers and radio in the middle, and on one side a record-player, and a old-fashioned band-player on the other side, both on a bottom you could slide out for easy access. We, the kids, used to lay on the floor every Saturday at 5 PM, and listen to the radioprogram for kids that lasted one hour. (While eating our allowed snacks and soda) The age of innocence! *sigh*

[@angiemae86]

This is hands down, one of the most beautiful pieces of furniture that I’ve ever seen. You are so talented.

[@modustrial]

everything about this is just AMAZING! wow.

[@MichaelAlm]

Thanks Mike!!!

[@balajimanepalli6305]

Super making 👍👍👍

[@sanelemazibuko1716]

I'm following both you guys... 😊😊❤️❤️

[@gutsmasher32runngun32]

This is the first video of yours that i've watched and i'm very impressed with your patience and how meticulous you are with the build. Great video and I look forward to more!!

[@SolarEnergy4514]

Every puppy in the world should have a custom 'bed' made especially for him/her. They, I am sure, will let us sit on their 'bed' too if we keep our promise to rub their tummies! You are a lucky doggy, Winston!

[@GetHandsDirty]

AMAZING build! Wow, so much work and perfection and good filming! 10/10!! Also Winston is wearing a very cool bandana

[@MichaelAlm]

Thanks Cris!! I was hoping you’d notice 🐶

[@Sladeofdark]

10/10 .. even the music selection.. i hate music to videos.. but this is 10/10.

[@furthernorthfab]

I’ll say it again... seeing this pieces makes me wish I came up with the design. Scale and balance is on point. Looks beyond amazing, Mike.

[@MichaelAlm]

Thanks dude 🙌

[@tomshepard4411]

I've watched this like 5 times and it doesnt get old. Great artistry and style. cant wait to see more.

[@RobbieBolog]

Insane build! So glad that KZbin exists so you can show us how much went into this.

[@chrisdavis1722]

This is stunning! It’s a beautiful deco design that looks like a custom build for a high-end, upscale space. I could see this in Architectural Digest as a centerpiece. Great job!

[@MichaelAlm]

Thank you!! I grew up with AD in my house, maybe something rubbed off

[@ronferguson9695]

This is the perfect example of when function, form and artistry collide pure magic appears. Simply stunning piece!! Thankyou for sharing your amazing skill. 😊

[@jamescosta1174]

Well said and " yea, you right!"

[@lulaconcheiroperez9038]

Wow, just...wow! I got both amazed and tired of the amount of work, craft and detail you went into making this beautiful piece💗

[@chronicmango]

This is one of the most brilliant pieces of furniture I've ever seen. Truly gorgeous.

[@AsifMirzaSmiley]

What a stunning piece, and really admirable thought process and design work. Just brilliant!

[@diyhuntress]

I can’t even form actual words in a coherent sentence that describe how I feel about this build... seriously stunning, my dude. 🙌🏼

[@deborahduthie4519]

Anyone would be proud and privileged to have this cabinet to adorn their homes. Thank-you for showing how it was made.

[@corypride5096]

Beautiful design and execution! I love the look of the diagonal plywood. Hope you got a good reward for your efforts.

[@ziHeriCa0s]

Absolutely beautiful, truly a piece of art! Well done!

[@DarkDay2012]

Man, everything about this was absolutely amazing! I've had an idea for a TV stand that will probably require a lot of the same techniques required for your project but I have no experience with any of these things. This was an amazing opportunity to learn and see how someone else dealt with similar challenges, thank you. Also, I forgot while watching that this was supposed to be a bench because I kept thinking about how I could apply those techniques to my own project, so it came to mind that where you put the cabinets would be a great place to have built-in speakers covered with nice fabric to match the design

[@gregsmith_za]

24:20 I'm always thankful when I can learn a new (to me) little trick. Using a straw for the glue squeeze out is one of those neat little tricks I'll add to my productivity drawer.

[@thaisoonchang8188]

i'm stunned, this is such a beautiful art piece.

[@Maazzzo]

Has a nice Deco feel to it, really love it.

[@waynehollard]

I'm in love with this piece, I've just found your channel and I've binged a tone of your vids over a couple of days. I'm a carpenter by trade and woodwork is my passion, you've inspired me to get busy in my home workshop again and create something beautiful. Keep up the good work 👍🏻

[@MichaelAlm]

Thank you!!

[@lukecarter7906]

This is beautiful Michael! Loved the straw technique of removing glue squeeze out and the “simplicity” 🙄 of the legs! Great piece of art

[@hshmanowin]

The 60's are back! Yesterday we throw out benches, that looks like that, today we build it with much skill and motivation. A masterpiece. Thanks for your work and information arround this project! :)

[@ashachowdhury5135]

this may be my favorite thing I've seen you make. That thing looks so good. Great work, man!

[@dairybarnwoodworking215]

Amazing build man! Love the intricacies in pieces like this. Takes them to another level.

[@stephensmith8016]

All the comments are spot on, best wood working build I have watched on KZbin. Nice work!👏

[@fishintime249]

I watch this at least once a month. One of my favorite videos I have ever seen. A true masterclass.

[@SRM_NZ]

I can actually visualize this being on Antiques Roadshow in a hundred or so years as a masterpiece valued at some astonishing value.

[@michelesimpson2237]

Lee and Leslie saying in 2121 market the value would be 2 trillion dollars. Just stunning.

[@OliveRC-Addict]

beautiful !!!! great work , love the design ;)

[@jbb5470]

Outstanding craftsmanship and creativity! Amazed at your vision for creating this project, absolutely amazed and the complexity involved! Thanks for posting, as always the best video!

[@orange_bike]

Beautiful overall design and fantastic attention to detail!

[@stecieapril9091]

This almost brought me to tears ! This is sooo beautiful, this as been made with such attention to details ! This is a wanderful piece of art ! I am in aww ! Waw !! Thank you so much for sharing the whole process ! This is soo inspiring

[@georginahernandezklee9816]

OMG, this piece is a work of art! So much detail! You're a talented artist. Perfection is the word of the day!

[@marshannajohnson8584]

I am blown away by this piece of artwork! I thought it was an entertainment stand. But I guess it could be if you wanted it to. This is absolutely gorgeous😍❤

[@laurendao4467]

Your work is simply impeccable. I love the details you thoughtful add to each piece. Stunning.

[@MichaelAlm]

Thank you!!

[@norsamlida]

Beautiful, I live in Singapore and usually catch your video’s first thing in the morning , but this time it was late evening, still made and enjoyed the coffee while watching.

[@DanStratocaster1]

Fabulous idea. I love the curved ends and the simplicity in how you made them.

[@monicaakers2243]

The most beautiful build ive ever seen on youtube. I want to to try this out some day when i have the proper tools.

[@tracylogan9990]

What?!?!?! Crazy talented! Absolutely stunning! Forget about the finished product; just watching you work is an amazing, beautiful show.

[@snh8093]

An absolutely stunning build! So glad I found your channel.

[@darinsandy347]

Absolutely wonderful dude. Going to attempt a variant of this, one day.

[@EthanCarterDesigns]

Such an incredible design and execution bud! I learned so much! Hey Winston!

[@justingrant1115]

Love it! In my experience with kerf bending, construction adhesive works really good and fills the gaps up into a nice strong solid section.

[@TW-ps2cr]

Extraordinary, envyingly beautiful, and humbling. Outstanding job.

[@juanitobanana79]

Looks like an amazing Art Decò furniture piece. Love it.

[@MissGretch14]

An truly outstanding design and build. Very art deco vibe to it, and the craftsmanship you put in will make this an antique of the future. Incredible stuff, and I'm totally hooked on your channel now!

[@wallacewright9004]

The contrast makes it pop!

[@felipegluz]

Omg. Absolutelly beautifull. No words to define. Congratulations from Brazil Michael!!

[@RaianNSX]

Wow. Just wow. Absolutely stunning piece Edit: Winston made the video go from a 10/10 to an 11/10

[@boots7859]

Yes, adding a dog to anything always give a +1 bump.

[@toyfreaks]

Gorgeous 300! Closest Benz ever got to making a Volvo! :D

[@halfnorfolk5310]

Simply fantastic! It looks very Art Deco...but with a very modern twist! Thanks for the video! Watching this was very relaxing! I really enjoyed watching the tambour build and the kerk bending portion of the video!

[@DamanjeetSinghDhillon19]

Seriously one of the most pristine and beautiful works of art I have seen

[@BunderChowed]

Alright, let's get this out onto a tray. Nice.

[@LordViperman]

Winston - finally some peace and quiet here, so I can sleep.

[@lespolaris6853]

That was unreal! Just a huge “well done!” And my hats off to you sir!

[@hmj.seward2015]

This is beautiful. I am just starting out and this is a level I can look forward to doing one day. And I'll be honest, Winston stole the show.

[@RelakS__]

From the tumbnail I thought that is some cabinet from the 60's to store the tv, the turntable, some vinyls, speakers...

[@robvaillancourt]

Definitely a retro vibe!

[@twertygo]

"We have a toddler, so no sharp edges" -"Don't worry! When I'm finished, they're not a toddler anymore!"

[@tjohnson8127]

What a STUNNING piece of furniture!

[@Sunnbuzz]

I hope you know how amazingly talented you are, I am in awe at the perfection and skill you put into your work

[@timstratton9]

Question... what do you do after you’ve made the perfect piece? Cause, well damn... that piece is perfection.

[@MichaelAlm]

Thank you!! Take a short breather, and then get back to work 😉

[@stuwie31]

God you’re a mad genius.

[@imploration]

Michael, Beautiful, creative build! I so thoroughly enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing your way!

[@bluecurlygirl]

Stunning. Absolutely in awe. And what a beautiful model to show it off at the end. Winston is very cute.

[@BrenoLuna]

What a masterpiece! So polished. I'm even more impressed about how it ended up serendipitously sharing the overall shape with Laura's record player cabinet kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJnJn2yCjNR8aNk You guys should definitely build something together. Cheers!

[@MichaelAlm]

Thanks!! Yeah, Laura’s the best! She actually gave me the idea for the tambour, and it’s really cool how her record can took on the same form as my bench. I’d bet we do a build together at some point 😉

[@monicaakers2243]

Single-handedly one of the most well thought out pieces of furniture I've seen on YT so far

[@michelesimpson2237]

Omg. Stunning. Gorgeous. Awesome. Wow just beautiful. And Winston so cute.🐾🐾🐾🐾

[@melissac5924]

This is the most beautiful piece of furniture I have seen in a long time! Amazing!

[@ecoral5635]

Amazing craftsmanship, pure artistry... all these detailing and artwork for the the dog to sit on at the end😄

[@yvonnehughes3036]

WOW I like the back stories on the things you create!

[@mariar2081]

Winston is so cute! The bench is gorgeous! Great job. So much time and love went into that piece.

[@letmetellyousomething123]

That piece is incredible. Your work has such an eye for detail and design. Spectacular really.

[@polarbearsrus6980]

I have a beautiful teak sideboard. with Tambour doors... getting up the nerve to refinish it. Thanks for sharing.

[@FearsomeWarrior]

Impressive piece. Love the wood colors, dark and light, but similar tone to me. Winston looks super happy. He looks very obedient because he is tracking your faces the whole time. My baby doggy is getting there.

[@MichaelSciacca]

That is one of the most stunning pieces of furniture I've ever seen...bravo!!!!

[@ssunkite1]

Man, you got skillz and you're not shy to work with your hands. You'll go places. Nice craftsmanship.

[@MrBaboorao]

Brilliantly and Beautifully crafted. Hats off dear. 👍👍👍

[@YvonneRaphaelWriter]

Gorgeous! Masterful execution of your design and a great story of the build too

[@jonathanking4107]

Wow, just wow. This is a work of art. Joyous and uplifting to watch. And then Winston ❤️

[@njlouch]

Watched a lot of these types of videos over lockdown, they've become my ASMR and it's inspiring to watch someone take pride in doing something well... But this - it's glorious! Looks so lovely and mid-century, would fit so well into a tiki-bar too!

[@thehog2]

This is one of the best produced "How-To" videos I've ever seen. You have a great presentation on the video that makes it easy and interesting as viewer follows along.

[@robertdeberusss3184]

Brings back memories. Old skool....

[@nancychong4650]

I love how maticulous you made this. Elagant and one of a kind. The client surely was estatic.

[@gamingexpress2549]

I had to go back and watch this video again! Still my favorite piece I've ever seen!

[@MoorlanderEDC]

This amazing. I'd be honoured to have this in my home. Thanks for sharing this build process

[@lucasl8764]

So satisfying to watch your work. Awesome puppy

[@ihspan6892]

It is really a beautiful and unique design. A true work of art! Thank you for posting.

That is one piece of work! And that pup is the crowning glory!

This is an incredible build and piece of art. Thank you for sharing and inspiring us.
