Pro Furniture Maker builds a Wooden Box

[@pedullastudio]

I’m experimenting with some new lighting techniques in this video. They’re not 100% dialled in yet but I’ll get there eventually. I would love to know what you think?

[@maisummarceneiroumdemuitos8037]

feels perfect to me.

[@iragabacharlesronald9444]

The lighting is much better

[@robgurke5294]

Maybe don’t wear all black? Occasionally looks like two disembodied arms pushing material through machines.

[@Quent2525]

Amazing ! Especially the final part when we see your realisation !

[@laurinsstuff]

it's really good! do you get these looks only through the different lighting while filming or also with color correction afterwards?

[@GB-mu9ue]

I love watching these craftsmen. Even if you don’t have the machines you can still learn so much.

[@caseydurrans521]

FINALLY! Someone on KZbin who knows how to correctly use a sliding table saw!!!

[@papaduck459]

Pencil sharpener for the dowel tapers.. BRILLIANT! You just taught me something.

[@MasterJMR1]

Every piece of equipment it was like, "Well I'll never afford that" and then BAM! Pencil Sharpener. I literally laughed when I saw that. So funny. So smart.

[@Shae_Sandybanks]

that drawer handle design is spectacular!

[@yficfic8352]

Incredible the number of techniques I learned! That's the beauty of KZbin, every one could have the best teachers. Thank you for sharing your skills.

[@pedullastudio]

Awesome! Thank you for watching

[@bonniebarber6114]

You Sir are like a fine wine to watch. I respect your craftmanship so greatly. Thank you for sharing with us mere normal woodworkers.

[@stevenshipley3316]

This is absolutely one of the most high speed craftsmanship I have seen. Brilliant!!!

[@pedullastudio]

Thank you

[@jameskarwacki5802]

You do excellent work. I appreciate you never ending attention to detail. I am 73 years old today and I admit I learn from you and I am proud to admit that. Thankyou.

[@benrudman3917]

This is next level amazing. Design, craftsmanship, techniques, materials, coloring, grain selection. All of it. And the cinematography is incredible. Why did i leave this in my watch later file for two weeks. This was inspirational. Very well done. -Ben

[@whiteknight1717]

Well said

[@nblahamed]

I can feel you're connected with your work piece every time you work . It's only the reason brings your products a gorgeous look.

[@pedullastudio]

Thank so much

[@fulltimber]

These videos have lowered my blood pressure back to normal levels 😊

[@robertgroves6186]

I'm starting on retirement, working part time only & buying more woodworking tools all the time. Your work is inspirational & I learn so much. I'll never have the tools you have but for me it's a hobby only, just takes longer to get done. Ton's of idea's from watching your stuff, thanks for posting.

[@rosswines]

I'm exactly like Robert Groves and who is walking the same pathway. I too am amazed at Nick's professionalism and skill set. Yes he does has some big $$ equipment (he is a Pro) but he also has much the same gear that we have already in our smaller wood shops. Although I have been wood working for several decades, I feel I have taken a quantum leap in my skill set recently thanks to Pro experts like Nick who are putting in so much at his expense into making these YT's for us to enjoy and learn from. I'm now 1 of Nick's Patreons - least I can do to support this work. I very much doubt that I will acquire the fabulous Artistic flare Nick has - it's hard to learn that, but we can sit back and appreciate/ enjoy this side of his craft.

[@AverageGreaseMonkey]

Happy Retirement!

[@BigHenFor]

I think the ordinary wooden box is still a test of a craftman's skill. You need all the same skills you use to create your larger pieces. And the result? Something that is intriguing still. I love the styling reminiscent of Moderne, and the move away from the expected in the joinery. The draws with the dowels instead of dovetails - which would weaken the design theme. I love how that choice echoes the draw pulls, and their recess, and is carried through the whole piece. Repetition is legitimation of a theme, and your understanding of how to execute a design to communicate to the observer what you want is a delight. Bravo.

[@nevillesmith9795]

I love the way you keep your workshop so clean. Almost all your cutting and sanding machines have vacuum attachments on it. Must be a joy to start and end the day without having to clean up after yourself that much. And not to mention the health benefits of not inhaling the dust. The box is beautifully made. Awesome craftmanship👍

[@pedullastudio]

Thank you

[@rebel1usmc]

I just binge watched all of your videos and now I’m bummed that there aren’t any more. You do incredible work, sir!

[@jeffw8611]

TImeless and beautiful. Watching you work is helping me to learn to slow everything down in the shop. Be in the moment, work carefully and with a purpose.

[@pedullastudio]

Thanks so much

Seriously beautiful work and video man.

[@pedullastudio]

Thanks Blake!

It’s not even funny how good you are, Nick. Incredible, just incredible So inspiring to watch you work your craft

[@pedullastudio]

Thanks so much! Thats very kind of you

[@andyt5220]

I rarely leave a comment. However, I have rarely seen anything as beautiful and wonderful that impresses me as this. My highest respect for such elaborate and ingenious handwork... The time and effort that goes into it too - hats off!!!

[@Lincolnstww]

Finally getting a chance to watch this one - fantastic Nick

[@pedullastudio]

Thanks for watching Jon!

[@scottdesart275]

Stunningly beautiful. Your wood shop would be stuff of dreams. I love how this piece doesn’t have complicated joinery. Your videos are top notch and I enjoy them very much (just wish there was more of them). Happy memorial day weekend

[@pedullastudio]

Thanks for the comment

[@jimfelton1]

You have given me new inspiration. While you build a box, you never limit yourself to the box. Thinking outside the box to build the box into something more than a box.

[@nicosand86]

Really beautifull craftsmanship! Its so simple, but the "simple" details like the brass band around the top and bottom, and the brass pullbars really gives it such a luxury look!

[@pedullastudio]

Thanks. Its copper not brass by the way

[@nicosand86]

@@pedullastudio aah, in my defence, i was watching on my tiny tablet screen so I couldn't see the difference 😉 but still, great detail

[@mikevukas9818]

As a lighting designer with 30 plus years experience I would say you are doing some nice lighting. If I may offer a suggestion, the lighting for the tablesaw is too frontal. Try bringing it in from the left side of camera highlighting the blade area more. Beautiful work and your shop is amazing. Cheers

[@pedullastudio]

Thanks for the helpful advice

[@dyslexicmammoth]

First time watching and I had to subscribe. Your precision and tool skills are second to none. And that's coming from a high end bespoke joiner that's been doing this for 16 years! Even sealing the brass. Top work. Great filming too

[@laurinsstuff]

it's not only the craftsmanship for me. It's also the quality of the videos that are just amazing!!

[@pedullastudio]

Thanks so much!

[@powervalve4410]

I have to say, I love the lighting. Hands down whatever you are working on is what this video is about. I love the different shades and shadows that you really see. I would illuminate with purpose. You have made me a permanent viewer.

[@pedullastudio]

Thanks so much

[@ovedgrijalva8982]

[@pedullastudio]

Thanks so much!

[@timdoyon1964]

I think your video quality is fantastic; and I love your shop. But it’s your workmanship and attention to detail that blows my mind. You are so young to be such a master of your craft. This watch box is absolutely gorgeous. Great job all the way around. Think,I will like and follow. Even a 58 year old with 30 years of making things can learn from you. I feel so inspired… think I’ll head out to my shop now. Thanks!

[@shrimuyopa8117]

I really love the contrast with the dark walnut and copper inlay. I also am inspired by your shop and the tools you have acquired. Hopefully one day I can put in the work necessary to achieve something similar. Thanks for sharing the stunning art work!

What a great job you did on the box, beautiful piece of furniture Nick! I've loved working on wood projects now for 45 year's and I wish I had a shop like yours. Keep putting out your videos and I'll keep watching them. By watching your videos it really gives me good idea's but truly helps me get better. 👍

[@justinhill9915]

the lighting and filmmaking is as beautiful as your woodworking!

[@nickbailey202]

From one Nick to another, I prefer this style of video. I've been watching your videos for years and, in my mind, you were an artist who uses wood as your medium. The new commentary style brings a level of human fallibility, but there are enough makers who provide that style of imperfect appeal (I'm sure we all follow that same channels). In my mind, I had you elevated with the channels like New Yorkshire Workshop, This is My Alaska, and Doucette and Wolfe. Btw, I'm using this particular video as a template for a jewelry box build right now!

[@MISSIONFURNITURE1]

bravo Nick, Finally a video i could stand to watch till the end. Well done!

[@theofarmmanager267]

Beautiful design very skillfully completed. Great use of metal and timber. If you hadn’t have posted about different lighting, then I would not have noticed. Even now, I couldn’t tell you what is changed but, whatever, your videos are always well presented. I look for great woodworking rather than great camera work but, when you get both, it’s even more enjoyable.

[@pedullastudio]

Thanks for the feedback

[@PilzeAhoi]

The level of detail in your work is truly remarkable and inspiring. It motivates me to head to my workshop and engage in some creative endeavors, though I must admit that my creations will likely fall short of the exceptional standard you have set.

[@pedullastudio]

Cheers

[@100dccoleman]

As a professional video producer and amateur woodworker, I love the amount of craft you put into both. Most videos on KZbin are overlit with "stadium lighting". Yours is much more restrained.The light isn't wasted on the background walls. However, a 3/4 backlight opposite the keylight would provide an edge, and go a long way to separating you and your work from the background. I think that would answer the negative comments that it was too dark or hard to see quite well. Overall, the shooting is excellent, and I love that you don't waste our time with lame jokes and smash cuts to irrelevent stock footage.

[@astroguy88]

Lovely work and cinematography. Enjoyed the recent Australian Wood Review feature.

If you are not a woodworker, you may not know, that putting 3 dowels in rather than 2 is sooooo much riskier and such a higher level of craftsmanship. If any one of them is out by half a mm its so easy to see. And he drilled them on a press by hand... Its small details like that, that I love. This box is amazing.

[@Craig-ib7gk]

Really nice build. I like the attention to both drawer fronts being off the same plank so the grain is contiguous when closed. Nick's shop is worth more than a typical house in a reasonably nice neighborhood. Reminds of the NYW days with Norm, telling us all we need is a little know-how, ingenuity, planning and hard work (and a few hundred K in shop, tools, and supplies never hurts either). I still laugh out loud when I recall him saying, "Now we need to plane this desktop. Normally this would be quite a challenge but with our new 6-foot-wide planer it's done in no time at all." Yeah, Norm. no kidding. Awesome work, The design and finish are stellar.

[@frankcornfield5915]

Beautiful work and inspiration for a couple of presents I need to produce.

[@MarkOhanesian]

Immaculate craftsmanship and such a unique, modern design. A+ I like the lighting overall, it matches your brand being a little on the darker side with the foreground lit separated from the darker ambient background. Only thing I would say is make sure you position your light in the right spot when working with metals, as metallic surfaces are particularly finicky to light well. Just move it off to the side opposite of the direction your camera is pointing until the metal surface doesn't reflect as much light and it will look more clear.

[@pedullastudio]

Thank you 🙏

Incredible work, both in your woodworking craftsmanship and the excellent video production. I really love your style with the lighting and music and no voice-overs, it's all very soothing to watch. I will be watching them all and looking forward to more. Can I ask what is the spray you are applying to the copper inlay about 5 minutes into the video?

[@Alkahestic]

Just before 5min, he's spraying a CA glue accelerator. Makes CA glue cure almost instantly. A bit later (5:30ish) the spray can is likely a clear lacquer that will stop the copper from tarnishing.

[@Keithharvey]

@@Alkahestic I was surprised to see that the liberal use of the accelerator after each cross section was installed didn’t set off the ca glue when the next piece was put in place.
