Simple Joinery You've Never Seen Before

[@LonelyDogBarking]

I just decided to give up woodworking altogether and continue watching your videos. A lot cheaper and much more satisfying.

[@officialmattruby]

I’ve seen soooo many woodworking videos on KZbin and I caught myself saying “are you f’n kidding me” many times during this. You’re an artist.

[@Isgerrior1]

I would imagine that your new approach to filming is gonna have your channel explode. People connect with people. So seeing you, hearing you, let’s us connect with you. Looking forward to all your great work!

[@pedullastudio]

thank you

[@Redstick007]

6:30 am central time America I must say I am addicted to your channel. You are the best craftsman on KZbin. You continue to inspire me to continue to hone my craft. Keep it going mate!

[@stevekmcrae]

I am in awe of the genius of your jigs!

[@JohnNoyes-ww2hf]

Yes, the good old Festool Domino. Lovely machine, just wish I could justify getting one!

[@lincolnprojectnemesis3253]

DAMN! I've watched several of your videos and find myself somewhere between immense envy and absolute awe at not just your craftsmanship, but your artistic vision to create. Hats off mate as ya'all say. If ya ever crave a 65 year old underling apprentice, give me a hoy.

[@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking]

Wow mate! The techniques used for those 2 long stretchers was a masterclass! Brilliant execution. And I still waffle between Osmo and Rubio depending on the wood species. I think some of these companies have been forced to alter their formulas due to supply chain issues with raw materials, but like to tell us it’s the same. I ran into similar issues with paint recently. On your recommendation, I’m going to give that Fiddes a try on an upcoming project. Thanks for sharing the info!

[@pedullastudio]

Thanks Keith! Yeah I agree, there seems to be supply chain issues across the board so I can understand that companies have to do what they have to do. All the best mate.

[@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking]

@@pedullastudio Same to you! Be well! Cheers.

[@davidpetruzzi4173]

I’m very weirdly excited seeing two of my favorite woodworkers commenting to each other

[@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking]

@@davidpetruzzi4173 Too kind! Thanks David.

[@andrewwilson8032]

I'm from Sydney but I actually discovered Nick through Keith's podcast. I love your work Nick and am enjoying the chit chat in the last few videos. If you ever go down the Patreon or KZbin member road, you have my money. Good luck. And thanks Keith 😉

[@stephenmiller4948]

Nick, you make incredible jigs and incredible pieces of art. I used to watch The New Yankee Workshop to get ideas, then I started to calculate the cost of equipment, materials, and time and soon realized it would be cheaper to just watch HIS show! Besides, I’m guessing it wouldn’t be long before I was missing a finger or two! Now, I can just watch your channel and live vicariously through your amazing skills! Thank you for this awesome channel, Nick!

[@GunsOfAnthem]

This might be the first woodworking video that left me speechless. That was an experience! And I'm so freaking jealous of your skill.

[@paulmcgrath552]

Doing problems using Polar co-ordinates was my nemesis in math; watching you drill holes in wood whose position in the drill press is determined by consideration of three planes is mind-boggling. The fact that they all align at the end is supernatural.

[@pedullastudio]

I feel like I need you to write my content from now on! Lol Thats was amazing

[@swagat1dentist]

He's truly an artist and a schematic,detailed and fine performer... Wood worker..!?? No he's in my words wood artist..

[@ChimpyChamp]

My father is a craftsman and furniture maker, I have watched him build beautiful kitchens, staircases, window frames, and furniture over the years, and while being impressed, I have never taken an interest in training up with him (He is close to retirement) it just never clicked in my head and he never explicitly encouraged it either so it never really happened...I can honestly say watching your videos over the last few years have made that spark of interest come to life for me. It's a beautiful craft and combined with my skills as a technical designer I hope I can make a good go of it :) So after some pushing and convincing on his part my father is now training me on how to make things in his shop using the proper techniques etc :)

[@pedullastudio]

Thats amazing! Good luck with it all Sean

[@Lincolnstww]

wow - that might be one of my favorites builds you've done. I especially like the breakdown at the end. I'm still Rubio unless it's a lighter colored wood

[@pedullastudio]

Thanks Jon!

[@kyorising]

what do you use on light colored woods? I have a bunch of spalted tamarind I need a finish for and I'm trying to keep the very light to dark contrast.

[@markgibala2268]

I used Rubio with 5% white on hard maple and Baltic birch cabinets with good results. This eliminated yellowing of Rubio pure on light colored wood.

[@MacierDesign]

@@kyorising I'm a fan of Osmo Polyx Oil Raw for lighter woods that I don't want looking darker/yellow when finished.

[@natemurray121]

Hey Nick, I really appreciate your work and your videos. The new on camera discussion is great and hopefully is feeling more natural for you. Your work speaks for itself but it’s very nice to hear your thoughts too :)

[@pedullastudio]

Thanks so much

[@carlospinheirotorres9499]

Hear hear. Those afterwards insights indeed are a perfect organic ending to it all.

[@samkrauser]

One of the best woodworkers on KZbin. You and ISHITANI should get together and make something that would make us mortals cry.

[@pedullastudio]

Thank you

[@stevedeyoung779]

I realize this comment will probably get lost in the ether, but I still feel compelled to comment. This is one of, if not THE, best woodworking videos I've seen. The techniques you employ are incredible. Truly a masterclass in an environment where a lot of content makers falsely label their videos as such; not only that, but pair it with your creativity, and this is unmatched. Absolutely unreal. Thank you.

[@alexlim2902]

Extraordinary from start to finish. Design, technique, functionality and form. Absolutely perfect. Beautiful work.

[@Brainjackson1]

You are the best wood craftsman on KZbin! Your diversity is inspiring! Even if I never reach that level, it's still helpful and challenging to learn new ways and know that almost anything is possible with standard machines and hand tools. I don't think I've ever commented before in 10 years. Thank you for your dedication and the opportunity to push the levels!

[@pedullastudio]

Thanks so much for the comment!

[@terristroh3965]

I think I’d stare at that all day if it was in my house. Well done!

[@JamesWendellDavis]

Man, other woodworkers ive watched that can do detailed work like you always seem to make me want to put my tools down and close my shop forever lol you on the other hand inspire me to try even harder to hone the craft. Im very new still but im now to the point that ive got friends and family wanting me to make things for them. I cant tell you how awesome that feeling is. Thank you for talking the way you do and not making me feel like ill never be good enough 😂

[@davidjowett8195]

A exceptional piece, but. I watched nearly 30 minutes of video to see "Simple Joinery You've Never Seen Before". This was exceptional, well thought out and complex joinery done very well. Thank you.

[@paintstorm1]

Wonderful textures Nick. So elegant and well worth the watch. Thank you for sharing your techniques with us all. I've learned a lot from you.

[@-A.n.d.r.e.w-]

Woah, stunning!! I just wanted to see what the "simple joinery" was going to be and ended up unable to stop watching every detail. Magic!

[@rogeremmerson]

I think this is my favourite yet: great proportions, genius techniques, brilliant use of materials and staggering finish.

[@LoisBraithwaite]

Your joinery is more than simple. The bench is very clerverly done. Love it. You are so creative.

[@J.K.38364]

You are..... don´t know the only word I can find to describe the grade of dedication , planning and exercicing your projects is SICK !!! Only all the jigs you design and build for furniture is on a higher level regarding cleverness and skill than other peoples inteired projects. Apart from that from my point of view you are not a woodworker and film maker you are an absoulute artist in this disciplines. I really apriciate you showing your face in the vidieos by now, it gives the whole thing a much mor personal touch... Thank you so much for sharing your work with us ! Respect and regards from Germany Jens

[@nevadacool]

This is what it would have been like watching Michelangelo, yet in my lifetime. Watching the steps involved in each of your works makes me realize the learning curve involved. So much to learn...Cheers.

[@williammaxwell1919]

Michaelangelo (like many master artists at the time) had apprentices, journeymen and other master craftsmen working for him to do the majority of the work /piece... frequently, the master would plan the work and others would execute it. Not only does this explains why some masters were so prolific, it also shows that there are multiple facits to producing great work; inspiration, design and production, which the Pedulla bench certainly has.

[@craighumphrey8287]

What I enjoy most about your videos is your dedication to the creative process, not just the craft. Very inspiring!

[@thomastieffenbacherdocsava1549]

Your explanation of the process you use is a definite upgrade for me. Very subtle piece! Almost past it up . LOL! Great choice of materials.

[@pedullastudio]

Thank you

[@Snip3r3]

Hi , Two recommendations from one of your big fans: 1. Please don't skip finishing Part, because it is the most satisfying part!!! 2. Please name your Works cause they are all Pieces of Arts. Very pleasant and outstanding Job. Thank you very much.

[@pedullastudio]

Thank you

[@patrickcahill1932]

The Jig Game is strong with this one!!!!👽 I dont think I've ever seen a video with so many techniques and jigs in one build. Amazing build 👏

[@smontania]

Simply! You are an artist. And what you do is art. End of converation. Congratulations.

[@AudioTones67]

I gave up long ago trying to find superlatives to describe your work Nick. You have a very obvious love of Mid-Century Modern design, which is why I enjoy watching you craft these works of art.

[@pedullastudio]

Lol Thanks Anthony

[@mikededmon]

Stunning, beautiful work. And, I LOVE the editing choices. I love that there are times when the music just stops and there is nothing but silence and sound of the tool. I think that the video editing should also get some credit. SO good.

[@pedullastudio]

Thanks so much!

[@bobmay1515]

Nick you are incredible! You're an artist, and inspiration, and I'd love to see you keep making videos if you can. Thank you for sharing your work with us.

[@christopheriondy9361]

Outstanding, as usual, if as usual is a correct word 😊 Your speach at the beginning and end are a great addition to your "silent " videos, particularly for sharing and explainning design choices. Tnanks a lot !

[@pedullastudio]

Thanks for watching

[@casselscustom8922]

Outstanding. I often tell people anyone can make things, it's just a matter of fastidiously following processes, but your talent for imagining designs and then your technical ability to develop solutions, processes, and jigs to achieve the vision is next level. Bravo.

[@onehandedmaker]

Hi Nick, Congratulations on being one of the finalists in the Australian Wood Review - Maker Of The Year awards! The Vine Bench Seat is one outstanding piece of art. Regards James

[@jclemoblo]

🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷 I look a lot of video about woodworking, french ones or not, and I think your creations are the most well done I ever seen! Congratulations !!! 🤩

[@davidmaltby2065]

What a beautiful and intricate piece of furniture produced by a true craftsman

[@BigHenFor]

Technicallly, you are excellent, but your understanding of design, and your willingness to discuss your thinking process is inspiring for other woodworkers, and collectors too. You're npt just a craftsman, but an artist too.

[@thewoofworker6840]

absolutely stunning. fine furniture doesn't get much better than this.

[@pedullastudio]

Thanks

[@PapaFlammy69]

The stretchers, omg! That is a really unique design choice, even for your standards! As always, outstanding work :))

[@PapaFlammy69]

The bench also looks really delicate overall, Nick. But it seems to be able to hold quite some mass up!

[@pedullastudio]

Thank you

[@ryanpeckphoto]

Wow. That's got to be the best looking bench I've ever seen

[@vedicapproach8105]

There are some outstanding woodworkers on KZbin and you’re my absolute favorite.

[@alansimpson596]

This is perhaps the best furniture building video I've seen on KZbin. I'm just a hobby wood worker and am mightly impressed with the jigs you make. Although I'll never reach your standard you've pushed me quite a bit along the road to improving my work.

[@pedullastudio]

Thats awesome . Thank you

[@horatiohornblower868]

Mr Padullà is not a high end woodworker, he is an artist. Every project is a piece of art.

[@pedullastudio]

Thank you

[@paulnelson9763]

I am currently using Odies Oil. So far I have been very pleased with it and yes, you need to learn how much to use.

[@pedullastudio]

Good to know

[@carpentryjoineryandcabinet6335]

Hi Nick, I've been using the fiddes hardwax oil for a few years now, and I really rate it. I used to use mainly polyx and top oil, and I've used rubio a fair bit too for some of their very unique colours, but fiddles is definitely my go to in general. I don't make high end freestanding pieces like you, my work is mainly bespoke kitchen's. But I suspect most kitchen's get a harder life in terms of wear and liquids than a cherished piece of furniture, so I think you will be sound. Really pleased to have found your channel, your designs are beautiful and the execution looks flawless. Your workshop is also inspiring! As someone who's workshops have always been very utilitarian, and not in any way made to look nice, it's really great to see a space that's so welcoming to go and work in. Would be great to see a little pan around the space one day on here? Thanks, Ben

[@cascadepacific-woodworks]

Nick, thanks for sharing your work and your process. I love how you vision things and I've learned a lot from the innovative techniques that you have used and integrated them into my shop as well. How has your switch to the new Fiddes oil gone? I too am always looking to improve the quality durability and beauty of my work, and wanted to know what you've learned so far from that product

[@sailingwalrus3362]

I really enjoy your videos and always finish off watching them, relaxed, humbled and inspired. Thanks for the amazing content.

[@Borescoped]

I really like how you combine brass with your pieces, and it inspires me to try to add some brass to my future projects in the future. Personally, I use Odie’s Oil for my projects.

[@johnhardman7986]

I have had very good results with the Tried and Ture finishes, specifically their Original Wood Finish. I have a coffee table I made ~15 years ago that get boots, drinks, food, animals on it constantly and no scratching or water marks that can't be easily buffed out. Not sure you can get it down under or not, but worth a try if you can. Keep up the great work, its nice to see you in the your videos now, truly adds a lot.

[@pedullastudio]

Good to know Thanks!

[@Marie579]

This is beautiful to watch you create what at first seems simple but I'm sure wasn't that simple, your work has a finesse about it.

[@williammaxwell1919]

As an architect I delight in the craftsmanship required to create "simple elegance" ~ there is nothing simple about this bench, but it is definitely elegant

[@johanflodkvist80]

Love it! Both the video and the piece. I like that you made the switch to "show yourself". Also like how you alternate between music and pure shop sounds.

[@pedullastudio]

Thank you

[@arthur2319]

Your work speaks for itself, but even so I’m glad to hear your commentary. Thanks for sharing your craftsmanship.

[@pedullastudio]

[@ExAnalogia]

I am stun. What a masterpiece. I do love the attention to the small details. Like the small stop blocks in the braze pipes (or what to call them). It is such well thought lovely furniture.

[@pedullastudio]

Thank you

[@MeLG72]

Nick. I love your furniture and how you blend metals with wood. As well as being a master craftsman, you are also a master jig maker. I don't know how you come up with some of your jig ideas. Brilliant.

[@sharondoherty5143]

We love the way you've used brass in this piece and that the pins are not just a decorative accent. The lathe pieces are unique with the angled cuts and the detailed inserts. At the distance shot of those stretchers the carved insets looked like extremely detailed macrame stitches of wood slivers. Don and I are always amazed with your designs especially your curved pieces. We can't wait for the notification on your next project post. We hope you go into detail on how you bend the wood. Thanks for sharing your designs with us all.

[@pedullastudio]

Thank you for the comment Sharon

[@helderlage]

I can't say that I'm a fan of the design, however all the techniques you apply are unbelievable... the way you execute them is brilliant, without any mistakes... CONGRATULATIONS... curious for the next project

[@garethmcneill5132]

I am seriously a hack when it comes to woodworking, your stuff is by far on a completely other level than what I could ever achieve right now, but I absolutely LOVE watching your content. You have a great focus on design and I love to see "how" you get it done. Wishing you all the best in the future and look forward to watching more of these videos, you certainly are top in class for this area of content creation with out a doubt! Would love to know what books you may recommend for someone who would like to learn more about design and the design process.

[@bernhard5741]

This is the classiest woodworking / artist channel on my subscriber list. Dude you’re freakishly talented.. Like Prince. Yet you sold a tiny bit out with a cheesy clickbait thumbnail. Be more Prince. I’ll still keep watching no matter what. Thank you for sharing your work.

[@pedullastudio]

Oh im fully aware of the cheesy thumbnail lol. Just trying something out though. Thanks for watching and for the comment!

Thank you mate

[@sparkyenergia]

Tasmanian Oak doesn't get enough love on KZbin.

[@carlpetitt2241]

Holy f#*k that is an impressive project. I've been a woodworker for 18 years and watched about a gazillion YT videos and this is just on another planet. Very well done, and looking forward to the next Pedulla piece / video. Since you asked, I typically use a water-based urethane varnish like General Finishes High Performance. They have a sheen called "Flat" that looks really nice, very natural and avoids any of the "plastic" look you can get from urethane with higher sheens, even "satin". It's more work to apply because you need to do multiple coats, and have dry time and sand time in between. But I like it for its look and excellent durability. It doesn't quite "pop" the walnut like an oil-based finish but I kinda like that, a little more muted. Also I should mention I'm only making pieces for myself, not for clients. Keep it up!

[@shanegolding436]

Stunning work. So satisfying watching a true craftsman at work!

[@DillonNichols]

I used Rubio for a walnut butcher block dining room table top and it looked great at first but was completely stripped off in a year. Even only used their cleaner on it. Refinished with pure Tung Oil after watching some KZbin reviews and its been great so far but only a few months on it. Will have to see how it holds up.
