Thanks for taking the time to watch! Appreciate you all ✌️ ~Nick
Just keep building and making whatever you like man. We'll keep watching. Love the videos.
It's insane that this video popped up. I was literally making a decorative box minutes before, and came to the realization that using my 45° bit on my router table could be the solution! Then I saw your video. But I'm pushing it at 5/8 in. material. What size is the bit you were using, and did you have 3/4 in. boards there?
"the ability to disassociate from ego long enough for empathy to create an artistic expression to be enjoyed by all..." But isn't it the ego that walked empathy into that opportunity in the first place? And with frequency, empathy shapes the ego like the sand on a beach. Desire itself has plasticity, p
Thanks for taking the time to make it! - another Nick
Should you plane end grain? I would think it would cause chipout
First off, your music choice is top-fucking-notch, mon ami. Second, your little philosophical diatribes and conversational perambulations around life, craft, emotion, dendrology, art, and our relationship with art, etc... are a solid third of what makes your videos so great, followed by your actual woodworking and a list of items from there. Keep doing you, brother. It's always a treat.
Ditto
Don’t forget botany!!
Damn, even that was beautifully written
Agreed!
Dude. Thank you. I definitely put forth the effort to make these for people like you. I’m pleased that it lands in front of those who appreciate the work and will remember this as the ignored negativity inevitably filters to the top of my inbox. Much love for the kind words.
🤣🤣🤣 "Hoarding is acceptable so long as the trash is fancy"! Gotta luv it. 🤪
Nick. I really don't care if it ruffles feathers and others have a distaste for your psychedelic scores, but you have the best background beats of the youtube woodworkers. Thanks for not peppering every video with the same terrible free electric guitar that soooo many use. Keep up the fantastic work.
Couldn't agree more!! Do we have any idea where he is getting the music/ who the artist is? I need more of it!
This is great to read. I thought maybe I was missing something and everyone just wanted to hear budget rock with their KZhead. @taymania92 it’s all licensed from artlist.io
I always look forward to your videos! The dialogue is great, and your sense of humor makes it fun, so keep it up (especially the sarcasm)! I also like your editing. Even the way you integrated the sponsorship into the video was creative and kept me from skipping past that part. Thank you!
Thanks Marc! Hope you have been well! I think about your family and Axel all the time still.
I have never laughed until I cried watching a woodworking video before. I will always remember my first time.
Fits like a glove. Great video Nick. You still keeping these videos entertaining no matter what they complain about 😂
Exactly, it's not hoarding. It's future projects :). Also, using the miter saw to cut the magazines was amazing and hilarious
The FIRST woodworking project I ever made was a bookcase for my National Geographic subscription. I precisely made the shelves to the exact height of the magazines (precision!!) and as soon as it was done I realized that they needed... at least 1/16", but probably 1/2" more space to actually FIT on the shelves. My woodworking has been a lifetime of those lessons.
Trying to shove too much into too small a space. Same brother. Same.
@@SawyerDesign 🤣🤣🤣
Over the decades, I've learned a valuable lesson when it comes to this issue. Whatever your design plans end up being, add six inches to everything. It does get a little expensive
It’s crazy how many KZhead woodworkers had router table accidents this week. I saw your kickback and 4eyes had a nasty router accident. And I think there was one more I saw. Be safe out there with your routers everyone
10/10 sketchiest tool in the shop. Table saw has a bad rap because everyone has one. Routers are the real finger getter.
Routers are the only tool i turn on that make me feel like an innanimate object WANTS (desperately) to kill me
Interesting. I have commented on several YT people's lack of router respect- usually a few times a week. Sorry to hear the odds are catching up with them. Old enough (40+ in this industry) to remember a router being just in the very large shops- a luxury. I have more work holders on my router gear than all other tools combined. Although my biggest shaper does has a toilet paper roll on the side. Pushing the ON button does make people tend to crap themselves. Stay safe- trust nothing.
I did something similar. My mom needed a simple box to hold seed packets and I needed to divide it into two sections for the small packs and big packs. I wanted to practice hand cut dovetails and did that. Decided to mortise and tenon the divider in. I cut the mortise on the wrong side of the line so the big packets no longer fit and now they fit in diagonally just like your magazines 😂
Good choice trimming the bottom of those mags, it’s the tip that’s most important! Great work sir.
LOL ~~~ That's the ticket; cut the D-blank magazines down to size! Too funny!
Dude, you are one of one. Your creativity comes through so clearly in your writing/speaking and it’s truly impressive. I feel like the wood working is a bonus with the story being the main point of your content
Great video as always! Your beats rock, don’t stop using them. Love the unconventional problem solving, an inspiration to never give up!
I love everything about this video, bro. Pretty consistent with my thoughts on all of your videos.
Man, this reminds me of a 9th grade wood shop project, 60 years ago. I was making a book shelf. when completed, teacher said it was worthy of an upcoming contest. Unfortunately I didn't measure the height of paperback books. They did not fit. The teacher recommended that I should not enter the competition. Oh well! BTW I feel it was a grave mistake on the education system to remove shop classes from schools.
Greetings from NE Portland. Excellent work as always! The music, philosophy and voiceover are the cherry on top of much loved attention to detail, jealousy-inducing creativity, and fine craftsmanship.
Beautiful work, Nick! Wonderful box! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Woodworking, philosophy, and humor. Enough to make me subscribe and check out your back catalog.
Hi Nick - I always learned it as the 7 P's - Prior Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance! This was from my Navy enlisted Dad. And as far as the narration and music - I love it. DON'T CHANGE!!!
For the record, I actually like your music scores. If I had a complaint about your videos, it would be that you don’t make enough of them. But I know you have a life and other responsibilities, so thank you for the videos you do put out and for us elevate our work
Awesome trophy case!! Great Video brother. The people that push themselves to attempt to be the master in their craft are the only people worth watching. They also have to be humble and smart.
Damn, Nick, you do great work. Another beautiful piece. And man, I appreciate your audio and sarcasm each and every video. Please don't change what you're doing! Love the channel, the work and all that goes into it.
Great video Nick glad to see you back making stuff
I've found that my 'subbed/bell' list in YT only tends to retain those who understand the algorithm, adhere to length guidelines, etc etc, and then give all of that a casual middle finger and do what is necessary to convey the story. You're one of those, and don't change. I feel I speak of all of us in woodworking when I say that the non-fitting magazines and saw solution got a laugh, but then a moment of "ahhh, yes, I remember that with such affection," feelings. Just about wasted a mouthful of coffee on that, dude. Last - I'll second the shout out to Mrs. Sawyer for what she does... I'm a former Army guy trained to hand out 'Go To Hell, Literally' cards to our enemies without raising my heart rate, but her job... I.Could.Not.Do.That. Respect.
That was the best ending ever!😂
I love that the entire philosophical rant was about attention to detail but the final reveal showed the oversight of what is most likely the most important detail. lol. Note for future me, magazines are not all the same size….. measure all of them I intend to put in whatever I’m building. 😂😂
Just a joy to watch like always!
Beautiful as always! Congrats on the spot in Fine Woodworking hoss!!
"You've gotta be shitting me" You nailed what seems to be my mantra. -Shrug- First time I've seen your videos. Enjoyed everthing about it. Cheers,
love your videos, your talking, the music... and your face when the books didn't fit :D
You just keep doing you man!! Love your stuff ❤️ ❤
Aa always really enjoy the videos and you attention to always creating beautiful pieces.
Very good video. I like your use of router for miter cut.
Nick, you truly do make the most beautiful things on KZhead. And your music is a perfect accompaniment to the artistic philosophizing.
Loved every part of this video. Awesome!
Great video. Thanks Nick
Nice work! I am going to try your mitre joint technique (using router) now. Also, I like your use of the chop saw to fix magazine size.
I always have a plan, but enjoy the rescue. Nice video relaxing.
I'm planning to build a not-a-box myself (but a picture frame with sides and top/bottom) and wanted to miter every joint for continuous grain like you did here. I've been running through how to do all this on a Table saw or my Radial arm saw, and just haven't been happy with how it plays out in my head. It never occurred to me to use the router, and I think this will make things much, much easier. Thanks for the inspiration!
Best ending yet! Awesome!
Nice method of using you router to do the miter. Having just built my router table, I'm gung-ho to try that myself.
Fantastic video... the only thing I would have done differently is clamp the magazines before cutting. Great craftsmanship... great video. Thank you.
I’ll totally be stealing your line for a tshirt for the hubs. “Hoarding is acceptable so long as the trash is fancy” is genius. I’ll have to define fancy for him, however. 😂
Hahaha post rationalization in its prime. Just tell him to throw a pinky up. If it feels right, keep it.
the ending hilarious. Good job
I don’t know who you are reading or if/where you studied, but your art and design criticism and sensibilities are on par with your craftsmanship and artistic rigor. Truly inspiring. Rare to experience true artistic sense, awareness of empathy, and meaning in one truly skilled person. Please don’t stop doing what you do and communicating what matters to you. Encounters with human beings like you are what inspires humanity to elevate, edify, and carry on.
Absolutely epic ending!!
👍 for the crickets 😂
I have loved every video. Unfortunately, I'm afraid I'm in the same boat as Wayne and Garth; I'm not worthy. Thank you for sharing your work, thoughts, and insights with the rest of us wood butchers,
I'm dying over here. Hilarious AF. Great content, as always, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
ROFL chop saw the magazines .. loved it !
lmao! That is exactly the kind of mistake I make every time I do a project.
alright, that ending was perfect!
Beautiful as always 👌
6 Ps Proper preparation prevents piss poor performance. Learned that one in 89 when I was learning the trades. The guy who told me the 6 P’s was my mentor for doing things the best I can. Love the channel, hope you are able to make more vids.
You are good at this.
Perfect fit. Just right.
This was great!!! Loved the video and outcome. Reminds me of…me! And yes, I would’ve done the same thing in the end to make it work. Ty for being real❤
Those miters are tight! Kudo's for not throwing things across the shop when you realized the box was just a hair too short. People wonder how woodworking can lead to day drinking, this is how.
Oh we've all made a box too small by atleast the slightest amount if not an inch. Lol Love the tip on using the 45 chamfer for mitres....and let's not forget the glory hole! 😂😂
I snorted when he said glory hole. Lol
Awesome Nick! 6P's 'Prior Planning Prevents P*** Poor Performance' Keep the dialog, that's half the entertainment.
I haven't a clue what you are talking about, but it's very soothing 😌 ❤😂
Another entertaining video, and yes... you got me. Props to your wife as well. I work at Randall's and see how crazy things can get in the PICU. Much respect to both of you.
Oh no kidding?! That’s wild. Guess you guys are part of the same now that OHSU acquired legacy. Will be interesting to see how that plays out for the employees
@@SawyerDesign that it will. I was told that it is “mostly financial”, and that there is little crossover expected, but that remains to be seen.
Great Vid! did anyone else cringe at the glue cleanup with the chisel!? whew as soon as you changed to the hand plane good music too :)
I luv your solution 😂🎉
Nice job!
You were supposed to say Oops…. I mean Ta-Da! Lol. The world will never know how many times I made something too small and didn’t realize until I was completely finished.
Beautiful as always, could you do a breakdown of that finishing process you had going there?
Very nice video! I like your content and great to see no need for a vacuum bag ;)
Awesome!
First time watching. I'm a fan. Thanks for sharing.
Its actually the 7 Ps not 5 "Proper Planning and Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance" compliments of the British Army. Beautiful work as always, sir, and thank you for the consistent light hearted dry humor.
I had seen using the router for miters before, but that was with a fence and having to try and dial in the height perfectly, your method with the board on top riding on the bearing seems WAY more attainable / straightforward.
Nick, don't change who you are or how you make your videos because of a few people complaining. I subbed long ago because of your personality and quality, unique designs. Also because Cam sent us here lol.
I wish my skin was as thick as cams lol appreciate the love man!
Awesome video. But to clarify the French "Mise En Place" it is a cooking term that means you prepare all your ingredients to be ready ahead of time. for example you already have the herbs and seasonings measured and in little bowls to be ready to throw into the recipe when its ready etc. It's the preparation before cooking. To fit this into the context of woodworking - maybe it could look like setting out all your layout tools and hand tools before cutting dovetails (as an example)
Perfect!
Happens to the best of us!
It's 6 P's in Australia where I'm from: Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance
lol I wasn’t sure if piss was on the bad word list after last video, so I opted for the Disney version.
You had me at glory hole
That’s what she said.
Like a glove!
Great job! I like when you talk about what you are doing are not! You are obviously very intelligent, and I like to hear what you have to say.
Great video and ending! I might have missed it in the video but what was the point of the liner? I assume you did that for the bottom to have something to rest against.
Ive said it before and ill say it again, youre an artist. you make amazing things, even this "box" is somehow more than just a box. in the military the saying was "proper planning prevents piss poor performance" 6 P's
Dude, I’m dying at the magazine chop… 🤣💀 In all seriousness tho, fun piece. I’m a woodworker up in the gorge and would love to cross paths with you at some point. I’ll buy the first beer.
Oh that’s awesome man. Yeah hit me up next time you come through Portland!
@@SawyerDesign how would one contact you? Instagram?
You had me at "enough cutting boards".
In joy your video can you tell me what router bit did you use to make the miter
Baby wipes aren’t just for glue clean up, that made me laugh(hope it didn’t hurt you though). Great video as always
fantastic video, good details about routing miters. do you mind to share the soundtrack sources?
Your kung fu is strong. Their music taste is the problem, not yours. Another great project! When that grain matches on the fold... oooh baby. Nice. Keep up the good work!
Oh the small truck issue I’m really sorry to hear that
Nice video Nick and good looking box. Just too bad it was a wee bit too small, been there done that!
Haha happens to the best of us. Thanks dude!
This was the first I have seen of your videos, and I am confident I would not have made it to the end had it not been for your musing narrative. I also enjoyed your subtle humor and the inclusion of easily edited-out mistakes. Haters are inevitable. Keep focusing on the positive and try to avoid any invitations if ever confronted with notions of Take Your Husband To Work Day. I am thankful for people who can, but I acknowledge many people cannot make a career anywhere near literal Life and Death. Hat tip to the wife.
I love the glory hole idea 😅. Great woodworking tip… exponentially better joke!
Perfect prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance is what I want, but perfect is the enemy of good
It's 7 P's but you got the Idea across.
I prefer the 7 P's myself. Prior Preparation and Planning Prevents Piss Poor Proformance. 😁 Nice Video by the way 😃
So.... I appreciate the talking , actually enjoyed it. The magazine holder looks awesome but I don't understand why you made an interior for it. Can someone tell me what's the purpose for the extra wood inside.
Nick, I believe you do know Kung Fu.
Love the video. “Deathly Hallows Horcrux “ made me laugh. The triangle circle line symbol is just the Deathly Hallows. Yes I’m kinda a Harry Potter nerd.
I mean it is on the ring, but I hear ya. It’s hard to keep from over explaining everything. I thought about showing the ring, but figured that might go over peoples heads lol.
