Thanks to Britton Timbers for supplying the White Oak - brittontimbers.com.au/
Made From White Oak, this low lying entertainment unit was designed for a client that has specific size requirements, not only for the room itself but also for the equipment that will sit in this unit.
The techniques shown in this build can be utilised in a number of different ways for a number of different pieces of furniture or other woodworking projects.
This is a new style of video that I’m trying out so please let me know what you think about the voiceover. If you do like this style of video and would like to see more, I have around 13 voiceover videos on my Patreon as well as a new video released every month where I go into detail about what I’ve learnt in my 20 years in the industry, but if you don’t want to sign up that’s not problem at all, I’m of course going to continue to release videos here on KZbin, but I’d love it if you considered subscribing.

What do you think of the Voiceover style video?

[@garthwebster6433]

Awesome build. Thank you. Personally, I prefer non-narated videos ( with proper machine sound volume editing) because with good edits like your video, I have enough experience to make sense of your build rationale, such as knowing the best bit to use would be a down cut spiral. But either way, nicely done. Fine craftsmanship. Perhaps a hybrid approach, short intro narration with the rest just shop sound?

[@mdaddyw_1323]

I'm with Garth on this. The narration is nice, and I imagine people who don't do woodworking at all might possibly prefer the continuous discussion of what's happening, but I personally enjoy the lack of narration and to just watch you work. Your videos aren't full build videos so there's inherently going to be information missing if someone with no experience were to attempt it. I don't know many people with experience that would attempt some of your pieces. But maybe as he mentioned, a hybrid model. Chime in on the sections of a build that are highly unique or especially difficult for some reason and discuss how you solve the problem. Then return to footage. Either way, your pieces are some of the best I've seen on the platform so whatever you choose, I'll watch it.

[@pedullastudio]

@@garthwebster6433 Thanks for the comment Garth

[@pedullastudio]

@@mdaddyw_1323 Great feedback, thank you

[@UbiquitousDIY]

It's a win just like this piece!

[@cady.moriarty]

Absolutely love this voiceover style. I spend most of my mornings on KZbin, but it's not often I get to watch new videos, especially not on Sunday. I really love how this turned out. My wife has a cheap black desk at the moment, but someday it'll be satin black ebony oak like this. Your designs have always inspired me. We never put the brown plastic door pulls on our TV stand, I think I might paint them bronze now and see how they look. Hope you have a good week.

[@pedullastudio]

Thanks for watching

[@creylacoste4981]

Stop wasting most of your mornings on youtube

[@w2ttsy670]

10:46 can we just take a minute to marvel at the voodoo here that allowed you to stain the surface of those doors without any drippage into your groves? Loving your latest piece and as divisive as black stain can be, this is a fantastic application of the stain with those brass accents.

[@pedullastudio]

Believe it or not a standard kitchen sponge has turned out to be the neatest way to apply stain.

[@jon_westwood]

The photography in the end always gets me in these vids, which is an art in itself. Love that red light at the back fading into the black wall, it silhouettes the piece really well

[@Jantimsen]

Dito!

[@pedullastudio]

Thanks for the compliment, and for hanging round till the end

[@LukePighetti]

You've always stood apart in the woodworking community and I'm thrilled that you're teaching us your process now. Thank you.

Thank you Luke

[@levelupwoodworking]

Beautiful piece as always. Love the brass inlay with the ebony stain!

[@pedullastudio]

Thank you

[@musamor75]

Ook is NOT ebony.

[@BBGuitars]

Unreal, Im a huge advocate for brass and any earthy tone that compliments furniture/instruments.

[@scott98390]

Your cut to the "Editor" was hilarious. 🤣

[@rea59]

A nice simple basic build...Love it! Voice over was also well done.

[@pedullastudio]

Thanks

[@davidgormley4419]

Simple, basic?

[@gerritporter1651]

The highlights are fantastic, your craftsmanship is outstanding, and I do appreciate the voice overs, guiding us through what you’re doing. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@danielhanawalt4998]

The inlays definitely made all the difference. Very nice.

[@jbeckh2]

I love the Spagnolo picture in the background.

[@ZER0MPH]

Lol, right?! Wood Whisperer!

[@pmdinaz]

Now that's a record player stand! Timeless piece. Beautifully executed.

[@monkeyboysworkshop]

Mate! I am just speechless every time I see one of your completed builds, they’re just beautiful. And it’s so humbling and inspiring to hear that you started out of a garage as that’s where me and my wife’s company is right now, our single garage. Also loved the voiceover style video too dude 🤙🏻

[@raulc398]

Only a True Master can turn something ordinary into something extraordinary, The Prestige.Cheers from Toronto Canada!!

[@pedullastudio]

thank you

[@deniswright335]

Love this build. I'm a wood hobbyist and I find your work inspiring. I watch all of your videos, I particularly liked the voiceover rigth through the sequence. It felt like a conversation.

[@mariusp4611]

Amazing work !! And that brass inlay at the end lifted the quality/value of this piece 10 folds ! Well done ! 👍

[@sflynn585]

Nick, love the voice over. Helps to follow your build process. Please continue with this process. Beautiful piece as usual.

[@baraksinz2937]

Honestly, I LOVED the fact that your videos were only tool noises. Those channels are few and far between, so it’s a treat when I discover one. To me, it’s part of what made your channel unique. I don’t mind a little bit of talking, but the channels that voiceover the whole video are wearisome to listen to.

[@RenaudGeorges]

It's funny what you said about the difficulties of having a voice in a world full of amazing makers, cause for me you are one of those top talented people I watch online that continuously makes me question and raise the bar for my own designs.. amazing work as always!

[@pedullastudio]

Thank you Renaud. I think its important to always question and raise the bar. If not we will never get better at what we do.

[@crowlers6]

WOW, this is beautiful, and love the voiceover! Your attention to detail is what makes your furniture the best!

[@mjmccoy97]

As always, top shelf design and build. I love the voiceover because of what you have to say in terms of woodworking philosophy and the thought process in the design. Too many furniture makers on KZbin dedicate their voiceovers to the mechanics… “So then I set the dado blade to be the exact thickness of the material”… maybe for some newer to the craft that kind of tutorial is important, so it does have it’s place. I’m not criticizing that at all. But, for me I suppose, the ‘why’ is more important than the ‘how’. You’re really striking the perfect balance on this one.

[@pedullastudio]

Thank you!

[@funo6581]

Your last video just popped up in my recommendations. The flowing loops and swirls of your design are stunningly beautiful. I designed a similar piece for a large stained glass transom window I built years ago, it was one of my favorites. Your bench is one of the most incredible pieces of furniture I’ve ever seen. I can’t wait to see what you do to out do yourself! Your work is truly amazing.

[@Lincolnstww]

I'm here for team voiceover - well done as always Nick

[@pedullastudio]

Thanks Jon

[@hunterwhitman7784]

Nick, Love the new voice over style! And don’t worry about upsetting people with “different” techniques. Creativity comes from within one person; just because another person may think differently, doesn’t mean either person is wrong. Continue doing what YOU do and we’ll all be here to support you. As an avid KZbin watcher in this wood working industry, inspiration comes to me through your builds as well as your thought process. So being able to enjoy your style as well as learning your thought process is definitely something I look forward to in future videos as well. You can’t make everyone equality happy: You may call a black bird a raven, and half the world may tell you you’re wrong and to call it a crow. If you start calling it a crow then the other half will tell you to call it raven. You can’t make everyone happy, but if you call it a chicken, you can make everyone equally unhappy. So continue letting your inner chicken shine and we’ll happily enjoy the golden eggs you bring us here on KZbin. Happy New Year from Florida

[@pedullastudio]

Thanks Hunter!

[@wadman0720]

Another masterpiece and master class Nick...many thanks. And the voice-over is just right to guide us through your creative process. Adding the brass "rays of light and sound" (as I see them) does take it to the next level and keeping them proud of the surface adds visual elements. I'm a fan of inlays too from a cherry top coffee table I did with small black smooth river stones inlaid to an electric guitar I made with silver wire becoming a dividing line between a dark stain side to light. Thx again...

[@pedullastudio]

Thanks for the comment John

[@jdubsplace007]

You’re craftsmanship, personality, and approach to life is so inspiring. I’m so glad I found your channel.

[@ExAnalogia]

Intresting video, where Pedulla shows an "regular" styled furniture. Then with a couple of changes, the furnitures becomes the next focal point in the room. Which the customer and the guest will talk about. Really nice way to boost an furniture in a simple way.

[@pedullastudio]

Thank you

[@jcsrst]

Loved the voiceover and the piece! Simple, elegant and beautiful!

[@widetiregarage]

The Voiceover style works! Absolutely love this build! The Brass and the stain go great together!

[@antonm8719]

To build a cabinet is easy nowadays. To blacken a piece of furniture is easy. To put inlays is easy. To make the final product beautiful and truly special is ART. The author is not a furniture maker but a talented master of his art who just happens to be using wood for self expression when creating his truly marvelous pieces. If the author worked with clay, or paints on a canvas his work would be equally talented and sought after. What is particularly impressive here (and other projects of the author) is the perfect balance, sense of measure and proportion. Understanding, geometry, colour and perspective is key. Many enjoyed people watching this and you made the world a little bit better. Thank you!

[@Max-cn5jj]

amazing built! the contrast between the inlays and the stain is just amazing also love the detailed voiceover!

[@SawyerDesign]

Really loved hearing your voice man. As always, setting the bar incredibly high with your attention to detail and the care you put into every aspect- from design and execution to finish and production. Beautiful piece! and we shouldn’t feel sheepish when we make boxes, but deeply relate to your sentiment of wanting to out make the last build. Keep doing you!

[@pedullastudio]

Cheers man, I like hearing your voice too 😂

[@SawyerDesign]

@@pedullastudio hahaha okay yeah, I might have said that weird now reading it on the receiving end 😂

[@pedullastudio]

That’s not weird, we’re just a couple of guys that like hearing about wood… ok maybe that was weird.

[@SawyerDesign]

@@pedullastudio 😆 since some people like us talking and some don’t, is the proper compromise to whisper about our wood? Shit. Maybe Marc’s been onto this the whole time 🤯

Thank you! That Ebony stain really turned out incredible

[@paulbanks8583]

Absolutely stunning it looked great before the stain and inlays and now just brilliant. Really like the voice over as well. Keep the videos coming 👍

[@morganhurst_redridge]

Blackening white oak is defeintly the one time it's okay to stain wood! White oak is a litttle to expensive for me but I've found that Ash is a pretty good substitute and you get to see all the cool highlights with the black finish. Also really like the voice over style, I like hearing why you made certain decision during the project.

[@pedullastudio]

Thanks

[@robust98]

Voiceover is great! Love this timeless piece! Thank you for showing us this beautiful piece!

Another beautiful project, love the routing idea, as you were routing it I was getting Eddie Van Halen's Frankie Guitar vibes.

Posting your videos here with full narration is great. I consider you a true master, and knowing what you are thinking while you go through the process is priceless.

[@pedullastudio]

[@scottroy6195]

Staining it made me cry a little and yell "noooooo". Until I saw it with the brass. Then I knew why you are the artist. Wow.

[@thomlipiczky9021]

Watching this again for the design. I particularly liked the running miters around the overlay doors. The clients may swoon over the brass inlay, but it's the joinery details that make me want to come back! And the voice over is great. A little less "mysterious" than earlier videos without narration, but very helpful. Thanks again!

[@theothermarshal]

Once again, stunning work! I appreciate you sharing your process and have to say, watching you apply the black stain over the routed areas on the panels was the most calming and satisfying aspect of this build from my perspective. The voiceover style was a nice style shift as well.

[@woodzzy1]

Man....whatever you build is out of this world, out of ordinary 100%. I love watching all your videos start to finish. You are one of the reasons I'm getting back into the woodworking after a 15 years pause. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@pedullastudio]

Thats awesome man! All the best!

[@jackknows6509]

Nick, this piece, like all your pieces, is a work of art. I enjoy hearing your views and approach on your thought patterns, even when they involves switching gears mid-motion. Exceptional...

[@BrenQ99]

The man actually said, “it is a fairly basic piece” while standing in front of this gorgeous piece of meticulously-crafted art. I wish I had a fraction of the skills to back up standards that high!

[@David_Lee379]

“Wow” would be a gross understatement. The beauty of this piece is truly stunning. 👍

[@artszabo1015]

From the perspective of a 72 year old American. The brass inlays are absolutely ingenious coming from a young man because they scream 50's and 60's the heyday of the phonograph and LP records that will go into this gorgeous cabinet that even the basic design of it is retro. Despite the fact that it's shape is to accommodate a modern television. In my eyes this is the perfect console for a music room. I applaud you young fella very vigorously!! Art from Ohio

[@davidmaltby2065]

Love the voiceover style. The finished piece is exquisite

[@derekcoplen2124]

Huge fan of the voiceover. It's nice knowing what is going on in the build and not just listening to a saw run the whole time

[@flyingman09101984]

It looks freaking amazing! well done and congrats on the design and execution.

[@Absynthius]

Seeing the "in rainbows" album sitting there, is an exciting perk for me as a final touch.

[@celticwoodworking8706]

Good things take time. One of the reasons that woodworking attracted me is the romance, the time, the design, and naturally the wood. Sadly in our needed it yesterday world many customers do not understand. Being Scottish, the pace that was Scotland up until the internet age resembled the 19th Century. I ordered a kilt in 1996 and it took three months to get it to me. Many people just don't get it, but it is a craft " when properly done" like ours. I see more and more people turning away from the pre-made junk that is knock down furniture and MDF covered with vinyl wrap. There is hope, and your customers are proof of that. Keep up the good work my friend.

[@jacksonianc]

I loved hearing the narration-as someone who is new to woodworking, I really appreciate hearing the rationale behind design decisions.

[@hairen329]

Beautiful build as always, also couldn't help but notice the In Rainbows vinyl! Thank you for inspiring me to pursue woodworking! Also, the voiceover style was a very nice addition.

@Pedulla Studio I know time was a factor, because you mentioned that, but im wondering whether continuing the brass inlay to the door frames would have been a good idea, or a distraction from the side panels?

Wow. This is stunning work, Nick. The brass is a superb addition and although I’m not always a fan of stained oak, when it’s done right, it can look great, to which this one is definitely one of my favourites. That grain just pops! As you say, its simple, but sometimes simple can be what’s needed, especially when it’s done to the exacting standards of your creations. You’re a bloody inspiration mate, and I’m really happy that your channel keeps going from strength to strength. I for one really enjoyed this video format too.

I love this piece. The brass is a beautiful accent. I use a lot of white oak and agree that the black accentuates the grain.

I suspect most of your audience clearly understands that adding narration to your always visually excellent videos adds a great deal of work for you, and I'm sure they appreciate it as much as I do.

[@MrJauxT]

Keep the voice over brother. Not only does it add to your video quality, but you give great incite into how much passion you have for your craft. Every video I've seen so far proves your experience and attention to what the customer wants. I know at times you feel the pressure of getting a piece done on time but if a customer wants your best, they will wait till you are satisfied with the results, which in turn, will make them appreciate the time spent waiting for it. Keep up the great videos and your amazing pieces of art! Cheers 🍻
