ENOUGH Cutting Boards!!! Make THIS Instead (Ep. 4)

Thanks for taking the time to watch! Appreciate you all ✌️ ~Nick

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.

🤣🤣🤣 "Hoarding is acceptable so long as the trash is fancy"! Gotta luv it. 🤪

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.

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.

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!

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.

Fits like a glove. Great video Nick. You still keeping these videos entertaining no matter what they complain about 😂

The ending with the magazines almost made me spit out my coffee! Apparently you are my spirit animal in that particular respect!. SO glad I am not alone.

Cutting the magazines was a true woodworking miracle 🤣 Great channel mate !

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 😂

It’s crazy how many YouTube 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

When you got to the end of the build and the magazines didn't fit... I felt that... in my soul. Such a core experience in our collective journey. Love your work!

Exactly, it's not hoarding. It's future projects :). Also, using the miter saw to cut the magazines was amazing and hilarious

Great video as always! Your beats rock, don’t stop using them. Love the unconventional problem solving, an inspiration to never give up!

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

I love everything about this video, bro. Pretty consistent with my thoughts on all of your videos.

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.

Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your videos and the furniture you make. I'm not a woodworker but enjoy watching you make amazing things. Great work all around.

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!
