When you graduate from college, I am sure your parents would look at all the furniture you left behind and say, "That's my boy!" If you were to get an apartment, or a house, would there be a playlist of you're making a workshop, and furniture for it? Until then, thumbs up.
hope you read this... ..you need to learn how to hold an LP, please, the way you did made me shiver a bit...... basically you let the record slide in to the palm of your hand out of the sleve, then support it with your middle finger(s), after you got rid of the sleve, you can sue your other hand to support it oposit of the hand you 're already using to place the LP on the player. aaaaand vice versa on takking the record from the player and into the sleve :)
Could I message you. I want to start woodworking, but all the videos are great, but I'd like some direction to get started. This kidbon here just moved the inspired level 💪
Building such a piece is a feat in and of itself. Add unfavorable working conditions, filming the perfect shot, crisp editing on top of balancing student obligations.....you should be damn proud of yourself! Beautiful performance all around.
It's insane the level of professionalism in your videos at such a young age. The little sketches with yourself, the explanations and problem solving stories you share with us, the craftsmanship, and the videography / editing. I am blown away that you are excelling in so many areas of your work! And so cool that Michael Alm helped you come up with a great solution for the hinges!
Professionalism? Explain. Also, there’s no way this dude owns the festool equipment… daddies workshop, daddies tools. Quality parenting that produces adults that think they can make a “how to” video and show us how “genius” they are, when they’re in fact clueless? Real snowflake right there. Get real
Not so sure… when you have big money flowing around, you BUY, you don't care to build anything, especially outdoor or in such a tiny workshop !@@CatyBee
DUDEI! You legit did work on this. I thought it was going to be one of those "look at me build this in my driveway, with 10k worth of tools" but instead you really did all this with basic stuff on saw horses in the middle of winter. Legit kudos. and that wave front end is next level. Your excitement at every item that turned out how planned got me excited for it working out for you. I know all too well the frustration of putting time into wood just for it to need to be scrapped. 👍
his folks must be so proud of him, and i hope he's proud of himself too. college, making all this amazing custom furniture, the leaps and bounds he has improved in video shooting, compiling, and editing in what seems like a short time. just amazing. not even to mention how i get this vibe that he accomplishes his vision in the EXACT way he wants it when it comes to building. thats a serious skill.
My husband is a retired cabinetmaker. When he first started,the garage was too small,so he also had to build out in the driveway. We had to eventually rent a container to put his finished cabinets in,to keep the cabs out of the rain.Keep it up! You have a good start!
I was a carpenter on construction sites for many years, all the other carpenters used to come to me to sharpen their chisels as none of them were any good at it. Learn to free hand it, having a bit of a bevel is not the end of the world and if you care it doesn't take long to learn how to get a flat edge on it. I did most of the work with my legs and used my upper body to brace it. Also don't overthink it, you can do the same with rocks down by a river, this is ancient and primitive stuff, and that's a good thing. Also sharpening a wood saw is way easier than you'd think
This video led me to discover your channel and subsequently watch all your videos. One thing that struck me was how much your parents have supported and appreciated your talents over the years. I would like to suggest a future project of building new kitchen cabinets for your family home. Not only would this be a great way to thank your parents, but I would really love to see how you would approach kitchen cabinetry with your modern woodworking aesthetic. Might I recommend curved corner cabinets? Perhaps you could use your laser cutter to incorporate veneer inlay? In any case, I subscribed, and made my sons watch your videos to gain inspiration.
Dude. That is one of the coolest woodworking projects I've seen on RUclips. The creativity, the finesse, the patience, and the aesthetics are all next level. You should be incredibly proud of yourself - absolutely unreal.
Mate.. just wow. I followed the whole thing. It felt like I was there. Well done. It’s exquisite. Your taste, your craft, your imagination equals an amazing piece of furniture. And nice work on the editing as well. I did not scroll one time.
This is cool as hell Miles. Makes me realize I have no excuse for not pursuing the projects I want due to not having the perfect shop to do it in. Your commitment is highly admirable. The cabinet looks insanely good. Keep it up man. 🤙
@@MakeWithMiles don't cut yourself short, always leave plenty of time so you don't have to rush, I always make mistakes when I'm rushing. And yeah I would agree leave twice as long, but the more you do things you have done before you will be confident in how long it will take you for sure.
man this feels so similiar to when I built my guitar while in college. Thought it would take me a summer. Two years later I finished it. Well done nothing is quite as rewarding and motivating as seeing your own work come together and getting to remind yourself of what you are capable of.
I remember Laura talking about you several times in the past. I was vaguely aware that you were incredibly young and talented. Fast forward five years and I run across this thumbnail and immediately started watching you for the first time. Three things I absolutely love and respect about you and your work. Your voiceover is top notch and communicates the build process very well. Camera work is stunning given the lighting, time constraints and the fact that it’s only you. Lastly they glue up was rough to watch and looked hard as hell. Kudos to you for showing the hard bits that drive hoards off armchair quarterbacks to comment about whatever they would do better. After watching this video I can see why Laura talked about you. She was really ahead of the curve at seeing your potential. Thank you for this video and all your hard work.
Miles, it feels so strange to me, to feel so proud of a young man who lives thousands of miles away and who I will never meet, but I do. Not only do you have a creative mind, but you also have the ability to bring your creations to life. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with next. Can I also send a big shout out to your parents for being there, because let's face it you couldn't have done this without them. 👍🏾🇬🇧💙
There's millions of people with supportive parents who have no drive to craft their skills this much either though, such as myself. Don't downplay the dudes pure will. I know that wasn't the intention in saying that, it's a great thing to have loving supportive parents.
@@MooSaidChicken Hi there, yes Miles parents are supportive, as he has said so himself, but I meant that they actually helped him by being the extra pair of hands he needed to help him complete this beautiful project. 💙
@@MakeWithMiles Then they did good. As a dad of a kid who's about your age, (damn I feel old to say that), seeing your kid just THRIVE in their passion and their path, I'm legit getting choked up. Keep up the great work Miles.
Well done man! Truly an amazing project on its own, even more insane when you think about the the bad weather, student stuff and traveling back and forth so much. You really don't need to feel like an imposter, you're a true woodworker. Cheers from South Africa, keep up the incredible work!
Miles, I think you are a young person with incredible possibilities. You're educating yourself not just through institutional knowledge from College but additionally real world hard work, attention to detail, perseverance, patience, and fearlessness in being yourself. I don't know your back story young man but from what I see I'm proud of you. Your respect for your grandparents, parents and the work you're doing is extremely admirable. You clearly have your parents full support in life and the things you're interested in. Those ingredients in life are the perfect mix, I have no doubts Sir that you are not only a valuable addition to those around you, but to humankind itself. Continue to follow your heart and do what's right. The sky is no longer the limit.
This gave me flashbacks. I used to knock out woodworking projects on my apartment patio, working against the elements and trying not to use loud power tools when neighbors were sleeping. Great work and way to overcome and outlast the elements!
I found this channel this morning and have now watched 3 of your videos. I can't stop watching. I love how you show your process and excitement when things are done. I feel so alive when something I do is finished and works well and I can feel that from you too. Keep doing what you're doing! Your videos are amazing on many levels.
Miles, soak it all up! All the good feels and love! As you stand back and look at what you made, the excitement in (finally) hitting that upload button, the kind and true words from those of us who love and follow along with your journey. You chase after your projects like no one I've ever known before. What a beautiful record player cabinet! I love your masterly storytelling, humor, and, editing (terrific music selections). Keep on your path doing what you love. And don't forget to take a break, breathe, and stare up at the blue sky, at the twinkling stars.
If you posted more consistently you could definitely blow up on RUclips. You already got great editing skills, and the formatting of this video was amazing. Good work!
Thanks! With the scale of the projects I want to do it’s impossible to post every two weeks or so. That being said, I think RUclips has changed to rewarding quality over quantity. just from my last 2 videos I’ve gained over 50k subs so I don’t think posting more smaller projects would do any better.
@@MakeWithMiles bro you literally have 113K subs, thats A LOT already. haters always see glass half empty lol great work, quality over quantity any day. You wanna keep the demand high and supply low
Dude, hats off and congratulations! Such an amazing build with all the problems included. I was literally clapping in my chair when I saw that the doors were fitting. Really nice work and keep on making these videos! Thank you!
The way you incorporated that sponsorship was literally perfect... Doing a sketch while showing some progress of your work in the meanwhile as well as making comparisons to woodworking made it feel like it's an actual part of the project - very organic! :)
More I dive into woodworking I realize this is all about detailed planning. And patience. Acurate measurement. And patience. Suitable tools and proper usage. And a lot of patience. All this was achieved by You and the result is impressive. Thanks for sharing Miles, it's inspiring.
Miles this is gorgeous and I've immediately subscribed (with the bell!). I'm a year older than you and much newer to woodwork, but you show an incredible talent at designing and building that I've hardly seen in much older people and channels. Will be looking forward to more videos, and watching your old ones. Keep it up! :)
This is not what I expected at all. Great story telling. What impressed me the most was your ability to "recover" from the little bumps and blips along the way and end up with a very refined finished product. That's true MAKER spirit.
Wow! So impressive. If this is what you do on your off time, I can't imagine what you would accomplish doing this full time! Bravo! And, love that your parents help you out to support your efforts. That's not to be taken for granted. You have a new subscriber 🙂
Miles your design drawing alone shows such talent but the finished piece is mind blowingly amazing as such a timeless piece of furniture made so well. I love that such a beautiful stylish piece of furniture complements the record play as enhances is retro side in such a classy way - would love that in my home . Your video edit is fab too - you really do rock !
Great build Miles! I'm the same way, I want to finish projects quickly and often found myself setting goals each day like "I just wanna finish flush trimming the legs" or "If I can just get it all glued and clamped I can call it a day" but I found that my stuff started to look a lot better and frankly, I felt a lot better, when I started just letting stuff take as long as it takes and not trying to get it all done on a short timeline, especially when there wasn't one.
I'm new to this channel for about a week now and you're amazing. The wood working is beautiful and the videos are very clean and you can tell a lot of care went into both! Awesome Job keep it up!
what a talented young man, making complex things like these at such a young age....it gives me joy seeing young people enjoying working with hands, mind an heart in harmony!! the world needs more of this
It might have been your most difficult project yet but it is also the best IMO. It is very nice seeing you improve both in woodworking and video production. Keep at it.
That is the dopest record cabinet I have ever seen. And this video, including all the bussing home on your weekends, is inspiring me to get to the hobbies ive always wanted to do but pushed off cause im "too busy". Keep it up mate! Subscribed
I've probably watched this video 3 or 4 times all the way through and I still love it and the beautiful piece you created. I just wanted to say a big thank you Miles! You're one of the creators on YT who has really inspired me to start sharing my woodworking journey on here. Keep doing what you're doing, you have more impact than you know 🙌
I love the entire piece, but I LOVE those doors sooooo much! I have been trying to learn how to build some things for my recording studio myself and it literally takes me 5X longer than I think it will to build one thing. You're not alone in underestimating the time it takes.
I admire you building that masterpiece outdoors in harsh weather conditions, and never giving up, and sticking with it all the way through! Your video is se very inspiring to all!! That is more that a cabinet you made, it's a testament to your enduring enthusiasm to create a work of true art!
As a 20 year old student who is in the process of getting her second woodworking diploma, i could only utter the words "Holy Shit i want that!". I'm a huge vinyl record fan and i love every bit of old school stuff.. Kudos man, keep it up.
Gotta say this was hands down one of the best youtube videos that i've ever watched. And just the joy, that i felt seeing that awesome cabinet get finished was like i would've done it myself. 5/5 overall with everything. God bless.
You are an inspiration miles! Not many kids your age have their head on their shoulders like you, I know I sure wish I did at your age 🤣 cant wait to see what you are building in a few more years, no doubt will it be incredibly epic!
This is the first video I've seen from you, thanks to the RUclips algorithm. Instantly subbed, amazing work and content. Also loved the Laura Kampf banner.
This is the first of I’m sure many builds I’ll see from you. You did an awesome job going through the build process and your editing skills really made the project flow and keep the viewer engaged. The real showcase here though is that INCREDIBLE stereo cabinet! Absolutely stunning. Subscribed.
This is a gangster piece of art. I was hooked the whole time for the little details in your video Honestly one of the best videos on you tube right now
this is so insanely beautiful !! the amount of skill and planning and attention to details is just astounding, you did such a great job. thank you for the inspiration, i'm not gonna builld anything like this soon but just your dedication is making me feel a spark to create :)
You are impressive! As an over 60 carpenter/ contracter I recently retired to my one man shop and am also doing audio furniture and speakers. You’re probably 40 years younger than me and I learned from you today. Both your design and craftsman ship are top-notch even without the best tools and shop set up. Cheers to you!
I don’t even do woodworking, but this was so informative and entertaining that I watched the whole video! The artistry and teaching element come so naturally to you, that you somehow make such a complex project look simple. Now I feel like I could do this too! 😂
Dude, I've watched you grow. Literally, figuratively & as a craftsman. It's weird but It's like watching a little brother grow & succeed. It feels strange but great being "proud" of what you are doing, how far you've come & how far you will go. Like I said, like watching a little brother grow right before you :) BTW, that parametric design is amazing AND no cnc needed 👌🏻! You're amazing & inspiring. Keep them videos coming my dude. Let's goooo!!
Congratulations young man. Your grand parents would be very proud to see you build such a lovely cabinet to go with their stereo. You certainly have inspired me to return to my shed and start building again. The skills you have will give you a lifetime of joy but also worth and value. These skill will always be useful. I truly wish you the best in your future projects.
Excellent work Miles. I love the design and the execution of the work. I just turned 72 this past October, I closed my wood shop in 2001 after 28 years. I have had another career since and now I think it’s time to make saw dust once again just for fun. Thanks for the inspiration.
Miles. You remind me so much of my younger self. Trust me. All the “struggles” you are dealing with now, will make you infinitely more knowledgeable, given you keep on with this. We learn so much more in our failures and frustrations, in our deepest darkest hours, than we do when things go flawlessly. ( where we learn nothing!) keep on carrying sheets of ply solo, keep on working outside under a dripping wind blown tent, keep on pushing yourself. And most importantly, keep on failing sometimes, then soak up all that knowledge and trudge forward with newfound wisdom that can only be learned the hard way ! Keep up the great work and you will be in blissful awe years from now, when one day you wake up and your suddenly the “new “ Maloof! SJ
@@MakeWithMiles That's so rad! I'll be an industrial/product design student in Fall, and I'm so stoked. Cool to see you're studying it, too. Seems like a perfect match for everything you do - I envy your craftsmanship and design abilities!
Wow! This piece is absolutely amazing. I truly enjoyed the entire video, showing the ups and downs of a project with the mood and motivation swings. It gives an extra personal character to an already exceptional build
Honestly a work of art..timeless. Dude once your videography skills go up over time you’re going to blow up if you keep making shit like that! Crazy cool 🖤🖤🤙🏼
I struggle to watch full RUclips videos these days but I watched EVERY second of this at regular speed. Awesome job dude you're an inspiration and your work points to the fact that God is way creative and he gives that creativity to us. Thanks for using your wood working, film, and editing skills to bless us youtubers.
Not many people can achieve this kind of work with the limited space and tooling you have, it is really impressive. And glueing up outside on a tarp in the cold is a skill in itself. 💪🤙
great video! I can't imagine how good furniture you would make if you had a larger workshop and in a closed place without the inclement weather, and you still got the job done. You have my respect!
You were put through the ringer on this one. I feel like it is under appreciated how much effort young people like you put in to living! Full time school, full time hobbies, sleep and eating makes for busy days. Beautiful production as always!
I just discovered your channel through this video. I am blown away 😍You should be so proud. I am very impressed by both your build skills and your fun editing style. You are a great story teller. I look forward to watching more. New sub 🙂
absolutely incredible! this piece of work in so beautiful! and can i just say your filming skills are quite nice too, i loved the end shots. i love your work!
Wow! I did not come into this video expecting this level of cinematography, artistry, and craftsmanship. I learned things and was entertained like I was at the movies. Looking forward to watching more of these. Really impressive!
Dude Miles you crushed on this one. Love what you did with it. I found this while dreaming up more ways to use power carving in my work. I love the cabinet man. The light is an awesome touch. Also that segment where you went spaghetti western and busted out the router was freaking legit. Well done.
Thanks for sharing this build with all of us - really nice. I think I have the same stereo system you inherited from your grandparents - worth $5000 for each piece - because stereos are just not built the way they used to! You remind me of me & other kids I went to school with in the 1980's before video games & the internet existed- totally involved in interesting, ACTIVE activities instead of today's kids who just play ticktoc or video games 24/7. It's refreshing to see there is at least one young person out there who is 'interested' in interesting things & interested in 'living' life. Your parents must be amazing.
Dude. I feel all of the struggles moving in and out of the garage, dealing with the cold and rain under a pop up, moving the piece in the living room for the glue to dry, etc….I can’t imagine trying to film it all, too. Hats off to you.
as an old man who has used lathes, scroll saws and other tools for a lot of small wood projects. Im super jealous of this, its so clean and the final project looks so good man. Be proud thats a piece youll keep your whole life. Good job
Brilliant. This is what I like about weekend woodworkeres vs. pros, you don't try to make it look easy, your setup is far from fancy, but your result is amazing.

What are you studying in college?
aaaaaaaawesoooome boy !!!!!!
The project, the story, the editing, the cinematography... Wow Miles. Just wow!
Thanks man! again big congrats on hitting 100k.
WHAT JESPER SAID! You'll be at 100k in no time too miles!
Fully agree! So good!
Right?
I was thinking the same thing. Just wow
From an ex wood machinist and carpenter, that is a beautiful and well crafted piece of furniture young man. Excellent work!
as an average youtube watcher I fully agree
Could I message you. I want to start woodworking, but all the videos are great, but I'd like some direction to get started. This kidbon here just moved the inspired level 💪

as someone who has many a lot of cabinetry, I can resonate with things taking longer than you expect.
you made a real stunning cabinet, well done !
Thank you!! I think I need to estimate it will always take at least twice as long 😂
@@MakeWithMiles don't cut yourself short, always leave plenty of time so you don't have to rush, I always make mistakes when I'm rushing.

@@micah5487 so @megadargar actually predicted the future, amazing
Dude, hats off and congratulations! Such an amazing build with all the problems included. I was literally clapping in my chair when I saw that the doors were fitting. Really nice work and keep on making these videos! Thank you!
The way you incorporated that sponsorship was literally perfect... Doing a sketch while showing some progress of your work in the meanwhile as well as making comparisons to woodworking made it feel like it's an actual part of the project - very organic! :)
Yes, I usually skip that part - they should pay him more!
It’s a great way to keep people watching all the way through (so they don’t miss any part of the video!)
So brilliant
I noticed that too! The only other RUclipsr I've seen do this is Ten Hundred! I wonder if he learned it from him. 🤔
It's absolutely disgusting. RUclips has been garbage for years because of this sponsorship stuff.
As an Industrial Designer just graduating, I find this highly encouraging and inspirational, thank you for the love for crafting!
More I dive into woodworking I realize this is all about detailed planning. And patience. Acurate measurement. And patience. Suitable tools and proper usage. And a lot of patience. All this was achieved by You and the result is impressive. Thanks for sharing Miles, it's inspiring.
Amazing craftsmanship! Keep it up!
Miles this is gorgeous and I've immediately subscribed (with the bell!). I'm a year older than you and much newer to woodwork, but you show an incredible talent at designing and building that I've hardly seen in much older people and channels. Will be looking forward to more videos, and watching your old ones. Keep it up! :)
Thank you, this is amazing
As a maker myself, I understand how difficult it can be to balance building and recording cinematic shots. You're videos keep improving!
This is not what I expected at all. Great story telling. What impressed me the most was your ability to "recover" from the little bumps and blips along the way and end up with a very refined finished product. That's true MAKER spirit.
Wow! So impressive. If this is what you do on your off time, I can't imagine what you would accomplish doing this full time! Bravo! And, love that your parents help you out to support your efforts. That's not to be taken for granted. You have a new subscriber 🙂
Miles your design drawing alone shows such talent but the finished piece is mind blowingly amazing as such a timeless piece of furniture made so well. I love that such a beautiful stylish piece of furniture complements the record play as enhances is retro side in such a classy way - would love that in my home .
Your video edit is fab too - you really do rock !
Man, I really felt the struggle in this video. Sometimes nothing goes your way and then you're feeling weight of a deadline aswell. Inspiring man.
Great build Miles! I'm the same way, I want to finish projects quickly and often found myself setting goals each day like "I just wanna finish flush trimming the legs" or "If I can just get it all glued and clamped I can call it a day" but I found that my stuff started to look a lot better and frankly, I felt a lot better, when I started just letting stuff take as long as it takes and not trying to get it all done on a short timeline, especially when there wasn't one.
unreal work ethic and attention to detail! respect the amount of time that went into making, recording, and editing it all! great vid
Thank you so much!
I'm new to this channel for about a week now and you're amazing. The wood working is beautiful and the videos are very clean and you can tell a lot of care went into both! Awesome Job keep it up!
what a talented young man, making complex things like these at such a young age....it gives me joy seeing young people enjoying working with hands, mind an heart in harmony!! the world needs more of this
It might have been your most difficult project yet but it is also the best IMO. It is very nice seeing you improve both in woodworking and video production. Keep at it.
That is the dopest record cabinet I have ever seen. And this video, including all the bussing home on your weekends, is inspiring me to get to the hobbies ive always wanted to do but pushed off cause im "too busy". Keep it up mate! Subscribed
I've probably watched this video 3 or 4 times all the way through and I still love it and the beautiful piece you created. I just wanted to say a big thank you Miles! You're one of the creators on YT who has really inspired me to start sharing my woodworking journey on here. Keep doing what you're doing, you have more impact than you know 🙌
I love the entire piece, but I LOVE those doors sooooo much! I have been trying to learn how to build some things for my recording studio myself and it literally takes me 5X longer than I think it will to build one thing. You're not alone in underestimating the time it takes.
Incredible work, all those hours really paid off for this beautiful design. The aesthetics fit so well. Great work dude
I admire you building that masterpiece outdoors in harsh weather conditions, and never giving up, and sticking with it all the way through! Your video is se very inspiring to all!!
That is more that a cabinet you made, it's a testament to your enduring enthusiasm to create a work of true art!
This is absolutely incredible. The idea, the journey, the storytelling, the finished product... Outstanding! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
As a 20 year old student who is in the process of getting her second woodworking diploma, i could only utter the words "Holy Shit i want that!". I'm a huge vinyl record fan and i love every bit of old school stuff.. Kudos man, keep it up.
Gotta say this was hands down one of the best youtube videos that i've ever watched. And just the joy, that i felt seeing that awesome cabinet get finished was like i would've done it myself. 5/5 overall with everything. God bless.
You are an inspiration miles! Not many kids your age have their head on their shoulders like you, I know I sure wish I did at your age 🤣 cant wait to see what you are building in a few more years, no doubt will it be incredibly epic!
Dude, I love your content, not only are they sweet-looking projects but the way you edit your videos is fun to watch. I hope school goes well for you.
I could only dream of doing this over my college breaks, living the dream mate!
This is the first video I've seen from you, thanks to the RUclips algorithm. Instantly subbed, amazing work and content. Also loved the Laura Kampf banner.
This was more than just an entertaining build: it was a beautiful vision of perseverance and joy in the little things
This is the first of I’m sure many builds I’ll see from you. You did an awesome job going through the build process and your editing skills really made the project flow and keep the viewer engaged. The real showcase here though is that INCREDIBLE stereo cabinet! Absolutely stunning. Subscribed.
This is a gangster piece of art. I was hooked the whole time for the little details in your video
Honestly one of the best videos on you tube right now
this is so insanely beautiful !! the amount of skill and planning and attention to details is just astounding, you did such a great job. thank you for the inspiration, i'm not gonna builld anything like this soon but just your dedication is making me feel a spark to create :)
You are impressive! As an over 60 carpenter/ contracter I recently retired to my one man shop and am also doing audio furniture and speakers. You’re probably 40 years younger than me and I learned from you today. Both your design and craftsman ship are top-notch even without the best tools and shop set up. Cheers to you!
I don’t even do woodworking, but this was so informative and entertaining that I watched the whole video! The artistry and teaching element come so naturally to you, that you somehow make such a complex project look simple. Now I feel like I could do this too! 😂
Dude, I've watched you grow. Literally, figuratively & as a craftsman. It's weird but It's like watching a little brother grow & succeed. It feels strange but great being "proud" of what you are doing, how far you've come & how far you will go. Like I said, like watching a little brother grow right before you :)
BTW, that parametric design is amazing AND no cnc needed 👌🏻!
You're amazing & inspiring. Keep them videos coming my dude.
Let's goooo!!
This video literally brought a tear to my eye at the end, seeing how stoked you were when you finished.
Such a satisfying project. I love your attention to detail, and refusal to cut any corners! Phenomenal piece of craftsmanship 😍🔥
Literally never expressed an interest in cabinet making before but I sat through this entire video. The end result is amazing. Kudos dude.
Congratulations young man. Your grand parents would be very proud to see you build such a lovely cabinet to go with their stereo. You certainly have inspired me to return to my shed and start building again. The skills you have will give you a lifetime of joy but also worth and value. These skill will always be useful. I truly wish you the best in your future projects.
This was so insanely beautiful and satisfying to watch. Well done Miles!!!
I've never been more excited than when I see a new video from Miles. Love the creative story telling.
That means a lot! More to come 🙏
Excellent work Miles. I love the design and the execution of the work. I just turned 72 this past October, I closed my wood shop in 2001 after 28 years. I have had another career since and now I think it’s time to make saw dust once again just for fun. Thanks for the inspiration.
Miles. You remind me so much of my younger self. Trust me. All the “struggles” you are dealing with now, will make you infinitely more knowledgeable, given you keep on with this. We learn so much more in our failures and frustrations, in our deepest darkest hours, than we do when things go flawlessly. ( where we learn nothing!) keep on carrying sheets of ply solo, keep on working outside under a dripping wind blown tent, keep on pushing yourself. And most importantly, keep on failing sometimes, then soak up all that knowledge and trudge forward with newfound wisdom that can only be learned the hard way !
Keep up the great work and you will be in blissful awe years from now, when one day you wake up and your suddenly the “new “ Maloof!

What are you studying at college, Industrial Design? Your drawing skills are out of this world for that pre-vis of the record cabinet; love it!
I’m studying product design (basically the same as industrial) definitely is helping me hone my sketching and design skills! Thank you.
@@MakeWithMiles That's so rad! I'll be an industrial/product design student in Fall, and I'm so stoked. Cool to see you're studying it, too. Seems like a perfect match for everything you do - I envy your craftsmanship and design abilities!
Wow! This piece is absolutely amazing. I truly enjoyed the entire video, showing the ups and downs of a project with the mood and motivation swings. It gives an extra personal character to an already exceptional build
Honestly a work of art..timeless.
Dude once your videography skills go up over time you’re going to blow up if you keep making shit like that! Crazy cool 🖤🖤🤙🏼
Beautiful work. And that is an impressive selection of tools you got there. Not saying, it makes it easy but it sure helps.
I don’t have an ounce of interest in woodworking… and yet I was so captivated that I stayed til the end. That is a beautiful piece my friend.
Easily my favourite building channel. You just have your personal jovial style without pretending to be anything else. I really like it.
That means a lot to me. Thank you.
I struggle to watch full RUclips videos these days but I watched EVERY second of this at regular speed. Awesome job dude you're an inspiration and your work points to the fact that God is way creative and he gives that creativity to us. Thanks for using your wood working, film, and editing skills to bless us youtubers.
19:31 The way this lines up with the music is so satisfying. Chef's kiss.
This kid is crazy talented, I bet he will get super far in life.
Not many people can achieve this kind of work with the limited space and tooling you have, it is really impressive. And glueing up outside on a tarp in the cold is a skill in itself. 💪🤙
great video! I can't imagine how good furniture you would make if you had a larger workshop and in a closed place without the inclement weather, and you still got the job done. You have my respect!
love it man. so well done. you can sincerely feel the passion you've put into this piece. cheers to happiness and continued success!
You were put through the ringer on this one. I feel like it is under appreciated how much effort young people like you put in to living! Full time school, full time hobbies, sleep and eating makes for busy days.
Beautiful production as always!
I appreciate that! I think we both can relate to trying to balance our projects with school. Glad to be able to call you a friend!
Thanks!
Whoa! Thank you
I just discovered your channel through this video. I am blown away 😍You should be so proud. I am very impressed by both your build skills and your fun editing style. You are a great story teller. I look forward to watching more. New sub 🙂
absolutely incredible! this piece of work in so beautiful! and can i just say your filming skills are quite nice too, i loved the end shots. i love your work!
It has so much personality. Very well done, Miles. 🙏
Miles! this one is just ✨sexy✨ I admire your hard work and all of your BEAUUUUTIFUL art pieces!! keep up great work (and good luck at college🙋♀️)
Thank you so much 😀 having fun at college!
Wow! I did not come into this video expecting this level of cinematography, artistry, and craftsmanship. I learned things and was entertained like I was at the movies. Looking forward to watching more of these. Really impressive!
Dude Miles you crushed on this one. Love what you did with it. I found this while dreaming up more ways to use power carving in my work. I love the cabinet man. The light is an awesome touch.
Also that segment where you went spaghetti western and busted out the router was freaking legit. Well done.
When you lay out the front at 20:00 was a literal hand clap, you rock! Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks for sharing this build with all of us - really nice. I think I have the same stereo system you inherited from your grandparents - worth $5000 for each piece - because stereos are just not built the way they used to!
You remind me of me & other kids I went to school with in the 1980's before video games & the internet existed- totally involved in interesting, ACTIVE activities instead of today's kids who just play ticktoc or video games 24/7. It's refreshing to see there is at least one young person out there who is 'interested' in interesting things & interested in 'living' life. Your parents must be amazing.
So nice to see young creative people like you.
This was amazing on so many levels. Thanks for sharing and I wish you all the best!
Dude. I feel all of the struggles moving in and out of the garage, dealing with the cold and rain under a pop up, moving the piece in the living room for the glue to dry, etc….I can’t imagine trying to film it all, too. Hats off to you.
Seriously, one of the most beautiful pices of furniture that I have ever seen. I'm so impressed.
as an old man who has used lathes, scroll saws and other tools for a lot of small wood projects. Im super jealous of this, its so clean and the final project looks so good man. Be proud thats a piece youll keep your whole life. Good job
Brilliant. This is what I like about weekend woodworkeres vs. pros, you don't try to make it look easy, your setup is far from fancy, but your result is amazing.
Amazing work Miles as a French Polisher myself time and patience is the key keep up the amazing work well done mate.
Incredibly skillful young man! It´s great to see young people doing stuff like this instead of sitting infront of a computer all day long! BRAVO!
