Drew! That was FANTASTIC. You knocked it out of the park. I'm not sure who your anonymous friend might be but I'm sure he's amazed by all the effort and kindness you showed his friend! Also, 'thou shalt check your fly' is also a solid reminder.
Was beginning to wonder where the straight slot screw would end up--thanks for not disappointing anyone :) And good on ya for not "borrowing" wood from your neighbor for this build....that would have been a bit awkward "Yes pastor I stole, oh I meant borrowed, the wood from my neighbor". Turned out very nice!
Thanks and kudos for the outtakes. I screw up so many times when woodworking that I'm often short of quitting that hobby completely. However, seeing that even such talented and experienced woodworkers like you have some unsuccesful moments, helps me to keep going.
With all those fancy points, this is 14.6387% better than one from the "Pulpit Store". Seriously, this project is one to be VERY PROUD of. It ill be cherished for many years to come. GREAT JOB Drew! !! !!!
Beautiful piece! As always, your videos are the best on RUclips. You show how you did all the intricate details but do it concisely without wasting a lot of time. And of course the humor is always a fun bonus.
A few years ago I was asked to build presider chairs for our priest and Deacon. Definitely a humbling experience to be asked to build something thing so important. Learned a lot along the way as well.
It's pretty much all been said by those before me. About all I can add is "outstanding". You done that walnut proud. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe..🙂🙂
What a beautiful creation!! One tip I picked up from Four Eyes is to cut those miters just a touch under 45° and the outside corners will line up beautifully. But it looks like you nailed them!
I love it just like all your projects! One tip from seasoned abroad woodworker 😂 Use much less glue! No cleanup (or almost none) and the thing will be plenty strong while still outlast many of us. Greetings from Croatia 😊
It’s a beautiful piece of work! I love walnut, it’s easy to work and it turns out great. I agree with your original inscription choice (it’s funny but not really something applicable in a church setting). I once didn’t check my fly and halfway through the service my wife pointed it out. There’s no graceful way to fix that problem in that setting. I turned around and made the necessary adjustment, and then apologized profusely. That really didn’t help;my wife still reminds me periodically. That keeps me humble. Anyway, thanks for the video and outtakes. I’m not the only one to have mishaps happen.
Another gorgeous piece of work Drew! It's sure to get a lot of use and will be greatly appreciated by the pastor each time. It is a beautiful addition to the church!!!
In 1989 we had a devastating church fire. A friend and I built a lectern and altar for our temporary church and then after our church was reordered the lectern and altar were moved into our chapel. It certainly was one of the most unique projects I've ever done. Your lectern is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship ! I always enjoy you videos.
4:56 This. And the P. Brown joke. Drew, you did it again, make me LOL for real! Oh, and this too 9:19 Great work, and the video of the whole build, as always: top notch!
It turned out beautiful! It’s a really beautiful center piece that will be used in sermons for generations to come I’m sure!!! I thought the molding was a nice touch the way you utilized both the round over and the Roman profiles. They work very well together and yet aren’t too much either.
Great project. 45 degree mitered corners with wider boards are challenging. The saw or miter sled being off as little as a tenth of a degree maps itself around the frame creating new vocabulary on the last joint. Those digital gauges (I have one) are handy, but only as reliable as the internal electronics. Nice work.
Awesome Video! You did a great job on it! Miter joints are my biggest area for growth. I love the Walnut. I was waiting for the Maple inlay on the cross maybe on the next one.
What a beautiful piece Drew, it looked like it had always been there. Great job, so lovely that you resisted temptation to borrow your neighbours walnut too. 😅👍👏 Oh and I almost forgot to say how much I admired the trick to fill the little gap in the joint. I've seen people use shavings to fill a gap but your idea of just running a sander over the glue was so much more effective and natural looking. 👏
Just finishing up a major shop remodel/upgrade. 8 upper cabinets, 10 lowers, 31 drawers, new miter saw station and router table section. I'm calling it the museum of my screw ups.
Literally (a word I almost never use) every Baptist church I have ever attended could use more than one of these, to replace the multiple units that are legit (another word I never use) falling apart at every joint. Haven't seen a solid one in a classroom at a Baptist church yet, and I've been looking for pretty much my entire life. I'm 52. At some point, I'll start trying to build some and sneaking them in. They won't look as good as Drew's, but I'm hoping for an A for effort. Great job as always, Drew.
The Maestro of Mirth and Mahogany. The Wit-Whittler.. I’ll stop. But those fart noises took me out.. WELL DONE. One of your best pieces. Very kind of you to do this for the chuch and as always, love the outtakes. Thank you for those, and for the additional captivating shots of you at the lumber shop. Cinematography deserving of a standing-o(ak) (outocorrect really wanted the word oak. my phone is more clever than me)
Hi, Drew. Beautiful project you made and you make the building process very entertaining! You are great! Two tips for you--1. Trash that band clamp!! Those things are junk; upgrade to the Bessey. 2: Avoid those cross-grain glue-ups; this project had a lot of them. If you're going to wrap a panel with wood trim, then it's best to make the panel from veneer or plywood, and not solid wood. Always remember that wood needs room to expand/contract to avoid splitting or joint failure. Wrapping the ends with glued-on moldings doesn't allow any movement in the wood. Even the Almighty can't prevent wood movement! Love your videos!
Speaking of podcasts…. My kids and I are convinced you moonlight on a podcast called “Keys for Kids”. You changed your name to Zach to protect your identity, but the voice is undeniable! I’m like 83% kidding. You are him.
Awesome job! I’m sure the pastor and his congregation are loving it. And I’m glad you didn’t violate any commandments in procuring materials this time.
About 25 years ago we had a pastor that could have used your thou shalt check thy fly warning. After that, our pastor came up with a checklist before coming to the pulpit.

Also, 'thou shalt check your fly' is also a solid reminder.
Hah, thanks Peter! I sure appreciate you trusting me to help your friend in this way. Glad everything turned out as it did.
This is the funniest woodworker I've ever seen in my entire life, simply put he's a genius
Drew must've felt the Holy Spirit on this one. He didn't covet thy neighbor's wood stash.
Was beginning to wonder where the straight slot screw would end up--thanks for not disappointing anyone :) And good on ya for not "borrowing" wood from your neighbor for this build....that would have been a bit awkward "Yes pastor I stole, oh I meant borrowed, the wood from my neighbor". Turned out very nice!
Hehe, thanks for watching!
Although, neighbor should be honored to "donate" wood for such a worthy project.
Thou shall not covet thy neighbour's walnut.
Thanks and kudos for the outtakes. I screw up so many times when woodworking that I'm often short of quitting that hobby completely. However, seeing that even such talented and experienced woodworkers like you have some unsuccesful moments, helps me to keep going.
That glue squeeze out fart was hilarious.😂 I almost spit my coffee across the living room.
Mission accomplished 😂
Drew, it looks like an old English piece. It's really awesome, my friend.
Many thanks!
Just finished watching all of your videos in the last few days. Amazing as always, sir.
Glad you like them!
With all those fancy points, this is 14.6387% better than one from the "Pulpit Store".

What a beautiful piece. I am United Pentecostal and I thought the confetti comment was hilarious. Never disappointed by your videos.
Haha, glad you enjoyed it

Yup, this was definitely a good learning opportunity
This is a project that I have always wanted to tackle. You did a fantastic job and it has inspired me to give it a try.
Right on! Best of luck!
What a beauty. You do work that is worthy of His name. Bless you sir.
Thank you kindly

Thanks to your S'tung oil! 😊
The end result only exceeded by the stupendous outtakes. Congrats and thanks for all!
Glad you enjoyed it
4:56 This. And the P. Brown joke. Drew, you did it again, make me LOL for real! Oh, and this too 9:19
Great work, and the video of the whole build, as always: top notch!
haha, glad you enjoyed it!
That P. Brown joke is an old Principal Skinner line from The Simpsons. ;)
@@BrentNeal1979 paraphrasing the Simpsons is always a good thing. Homer would approve.
Great job Drew !! I have built several pieces for our church and it's very rewarding to use our GOD given talents to honor HIM
Exactly! Thanks for watching!
That's great. Looks fantastic and everyone is happy.
Thanks!
Came out great. Love the fancy points.
Thanks so much!
I have always enjoyed your work, but I like you even more now! May God bless you and your family!
Thank you so much. To you as well
This is a very uplifting video. Thanks for shafing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
It fit beautifully in the church. Job well done.
Thanks!
Because project for a beautiful cause. Amazing job!
Thanks a bunch!
Exceptional! You scored with the man upstairs.
I hope so
What a beautiful classic project Drew… nice work… 😊
Thank you so much 😀
Another Great Project - I attend the Troy Woodside Campus - This is fantastic
Very cool! I was a member at the White Lake campus for around 5yrs
Thats beautiful brother. God has really blessed you with a gift.
I appreciate that. Thanks!
Nicely done Drew. Thanks for bringing us along!
Regards,

You bet!
The song of my people is a popular track. God Bless you brother.
Top of the charts!
Amazing Build Drew.
Loved seeing the delivery.
And always enjoy the outtakes
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks
God that’s beautiful. Praise the lord that Drew was able to do it. But Moses of it was power tools, but not all. Seriously. Beautiful pc.
Hey thanks! I appreciate it!
Great build and awesome that you could bless that pastor.
Thank you kindly
Fantastic piece as always. Dont worry about the extra hinge holes. It just makes it holier.
Exactly!
Humor +10 - thank you for brightening my day.
Glad you enjoyed it
Now this is one beautiful build! Been thinking about doing one similar to donate to the church my mom goes to. Beautiful work Drew!
As always a joy to watch! Best Regards from Germany
Danke!
Beautiful project that I'm sure will be enjoyed for years to come. - Chris

Way to keep P. Brown anonymous while you show his channel logo in your band saw! LMAO! I love watching and learning from both of you guys!
Thanks man! Yeah, his channel is great
The song of your people…it has a beat, and you can dance to it 💃
Hah, glad you liked it. :)
Great project. 45 degree mitered corners with wider boards are challenging. The saw or miter sled being off as little as a tenth of a degree maps itself around the frame creating new vocabulary on the last joint. Those digital gauges (I have one) are handy, but only as reliable as the internal electronics. Nice work.
Yup, I always double check it. Just because it says it's dead on 45 doesn't mean it actually is.
And one of the best woodworking channels on here is back! Made my day. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
It looks heavenly!
Thanks!
God is in beautiful things. This was a great build!
Thank you! 🤗
Awesome Video! You did a great job on it! Miter joints are my biggest area for growth. I love the Walnut. I was waiting for the Maple inlay on the cross maybe on the next one.
Thanks! 👍 Yeah, the pastor wanted something subtle
Love the outtakes! Great job on this project!

Can Drew get an Amen!!!! Beautiful job.
Thanks a bunch
As always, great job, Drew! That turned out beautiful!
Thank you
Great video! I look forward to checking it out it in person on Sunday. Especially appreciate the outtakes at the end, reminds me of how my builds go
Oh nice! Hopefully it passes scrutiny. :)
Laughed pretty hard at the confetti canon comment. Awesome.
Glad you enjoyed it
The wood used sure was nice! Great build.
Thanks 👍
A beautiful pulpit, podium, dais, lectern,,,, that turned out beautiful, regardless of what it may be called. Welcome back!!

Beautiful work! God bless you, brother!
Thank you kindly!
Really beautiful, Drew. It looks like it fit the church decor well, too. Plenty of flat head screws also.
Bill
Yeah, I was surprised as how well it fit in
That's gorgeous! Seriously pretty grain on that walnut.
Thanks!
Had this playing behind a different screen earlier and had to go back to rewatch what was happening at @4:56. That was funny
hehe, glad you enjoyed it
you didnt steal lumber from the neighnour this time, good for you =)
Thou shalt not steal, right? haha
Love the pulpit!
Thanks!
Fancy indeed! Nice build.
Thanks!
Beautiful work, Drew!
Thank you kindly!
That's a really beautiful piece. Great job, sir
Thanks!
Beautiful work!! Confetti cannons when things start to feel Pentecostal :) I am Pentecostal and got a great chuckle out of this :)

"Even the Almighty can't prevent wood movement!"
Well He _can,_ but He'd probably just allow His laws of nature to act themselves out.
Another wonderful piece of work!
Thanks a bunch!

Love how it turned out! Also love the bloopers at the end.
