Such a likable guy; no schtick or wisdom dispensing, just great craftsmanship and a humble attitude. By far my favorite woodworking channel and I watch them all religiously.
How did you learn all this? You are one of the most unknown woodworkers on youtube, but your skill level is well above 90% of the educators presenting content on this platform. I know you will have more work, so I will be on the lookout for your next post. Thanks for going into depth on the build, I learned so much, thanks.
Japandi is my favorite style and walnut is my favorite wood, this was truly special project. Amazing job, the skill involved should not be unappreciated.
I'm a little late on the watch but always enjoy your watching your skills at work. There's two things I really like, one is that you use basically the same tools that most of the rest of us use, and the other is when your son comes into the shop to help. My first thought is "yep, good dad. Thanks for the good use of my time.
Love that your shop is at home and one of your kids come in and "help." See what dad does. Maybe adopt this trade as well. How they did it in the past. How children should be raised. And the couch was amazing Andy. Always love watching what you're working on.
That's a great workpiece and outcome. You look really happy with it and the pictures or how you explain the piece really show it. It has a very subtle beauty and fits the interior nicely, as if it was made to be there.
One of the last larger woodworking channels that actually produces regular woodworking content instead of switching to remodeling campers and houses or creating clickbait tiktok clip videos. We're looking for knowledge of woodworking as much as we are looking for entertainment, and you consistently hit the mark. Thank you.
If there's something easy to believe is how easy it might be to people to create some sort of bond with you, Andy. I guess that's what most of the subscribers of this channel feel. Just a very nice and talented human being, doing what he loves, and sharing it with the world. All the luck to you, Andy. Great job, as always!
amazing work andy! love the use of all the housed mortise and tenons. america seems to have great clients who are eager to support craftsman and spend big bucks on well made freestanding furniture.
Until maybe the end of the year? WHAT?! Beautiful piece, it fit right in that living room. Something like that looks deceptively simple but man, that joinery was top notch!
Beautiful design and well executed, love how detailed the video was and the way every step was explained yet the video was not to long. Great job. Take car and stay safe while enjoying family life.
That is a beautiful walnut sofa! Love the design too. The black leather cushions compliments the stained walnut and the whole design imo. I might be biased cos I like designs from the mid-century modern era, but that is one ‘simple’ beautifully crafted piece of furniture!!!
Fantastic build sir, I love the honesty and the reality with which you present your furniture making, it’s inspirational - I’m currently struggling along with a buffet made out of air dried elm - this video has inspired me to push through and get it done, so thank you
Amazing work! I really enjoy watching your videos. You have great mindset in how you approach woodworking and how you tell the story of how each piece comes together to become functional art.
@@AndyRawlsI have a Model Airplane request. This request comes with a detailed Interior. Are you be able to Carve the Cessna 401? Thank you so much for your response.
What a beautiful , craftful bench! Very well done, Andy. The first time we drove from Santa Fe to Taos, the Rio Grande Bridge seemed to jump out of the surrounding land. Argosy is looking good!!
The splines made it. At first I thought you were going to flush them and I was thinking NO! Then you left them proud and that felt like a nice Japanese shout out. Nice work.
Cherry as a contrasting wood looks good to me after the cherry ages. I made some cherry walnut end grain cutting boards. I have to hunt for the cherry.
29:10 I wholeheartedly agree. I know it's intentionally mid-century design, but generally shadow lines achieve what contrasting woods are sometimes used for. It's surprising what a bead, cock-bead, or chamfer can subtly add.
Beautiful as always. I love your channel. Very inspiring. What do you do if your client's floor isn't flat? You make everything square and plumb in the shop, but what if the destination is off a little?
Great job designing the complex joints and coming up with the jigs. Nice simply elegant piece of furniture. The 1/4 corner mortise could be adjusted with lie Nielsen file planes(might not be correct name). I have a whole set and they work really well. Designed for making wood hand planes. Not sure if they still making them.
What a stunning piece of custom furniture. A question if I can. I noticed on a number of clamp ups that you didn’t use scraps between the clamps and the finished work. Do you not get any bruising/indents? Thanks from Australia. Your work is outstanding
Isn’t it just the cream on top to hv someone appreciate your hard work & not whine over the price of a heirloom piece that will go down from one family member to another? I do finish carpentry and it’s a battle sometime Andy but I don’t hv your talent! I stay in my lane it’s tough enough! God Bless I see you are thankful to the Lord for your family!
That’s actually a really good thought and the reason I don’t do it that way is it’s harder to control the grain orientation if you cut mortises into square parts. If you turn it first then you can place the mortises in the same orientation to the grain on all 6 post.

You really put a big smile on your son’s face. It made me smile. A 2 minute lifetime memory.

Andy, I always enjoy watching your videos and the attention to detail you put into your videos. Keep them coming, Please!
What a beautiful piece of art. Whether you carve a wooden spoon from waste or create a sofa from walnut your work is impeccable. Cheers!!
34:48 that smile shows the amount of satisfaction and hard work that goes in this built..
As a fellow furniture maker, I say cheers to good clients. It wouldn't be possible without them.
Nice work. Walnut is sweet to work with. You guys did a great job.
What a beautiful piece of art.
This thing is beautiful, watching your kids get curious about your work is great! Keep it up
So great seeing you include your son in your work! Your an awesome Dad and a fine craftsman.
Love that your shop is at home and one of your kids come in and "help." See what dad does. Maybe adopt this trade as well. How they did it in the past. How children should be raised. And the couch was amazing Andy. Always love watching what you're working on.
Awesome video brother!
You really nailed it on that design. Definitely the 2 elements you mentioned. A little nod to nakashima with the spindle back... great job!

Very nice,lot of shop work.beautiful piece of furniture.👍👍👍😎😎😎
Andy, this is probably my favorite piece I’ve seen you make! Love the hard work and design.

amazing piece!!!!!! all those joint , crazy work ...first and not last video from your cchannel i see.... instant follow
What a beautiful bench. I really appreciate all the craftsmanship & attention to detail with all the joinery. Truly an amazing job!
amazing work andy! love the use of all the housed mortise and tenons. america seems to have great clients who are eager to support craftsman and spend big bucks on well made freestanding furniture.
Another incredible build. You are creative and have the skills that most bespoke furniture makers can’t or won’t do. Well done.
Until maybe the end of the year? WHAT?! Beautiful piece, it fit right in that living room. Something like that looks deceptively simple but man, that joinery was top notch!
Thanks! Yeah I’m not sure what RUclips looks like for 2024, might be slowing it down…
I’m sad to hear that, but that’s selfish of me.
Incredible proces, I liked very much this video thank you for sharing!
Excellent joinery work. I love the look of walnut.
Nicely done, Andy!
Hahaha the walnut line cracked me up. "I should have gotten that" "yeah you should have". Kid is gonna be a great woodworker one day
Andy keep up the great work and beautiful piece of art
very well done I'm a fan Great job
Great build, great video, Andy.
Bill
You should be proud, it is a beautiful piece of furniture.
Thank you!
Nice work, a very beautiful piece. I also like that we got to see it at its final destination.
Beautiful design and well executed, love how detailed the video was and the way every step was explained yet the video was not to long. Great job. Take car and stay safe while enjoying family life.

Beautiful, Andy! Amazing work!!! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
The end of the year?? We need more videos my man!
It does not look comfortable but it certainly is a piece of beautiful artwork!
I am hoping one day my wood working is half as good as yours.
Beautiful as usual !!!!!!! Great Job
Fantastic build sir, I love the honesty and the reality with which you present your furniture making, it’s inspirational - I’m currently struggling along with a buffet made out of air dried elm - this video has inspired me to push through and get it done, so thank you
Simple elegance. Beautiful work 🎉
Interesting design and great work Andy. But I mostly congratulate you for taking time and being a super dad 👍
A very good design and a beautifully made piece of furniture.
Amazing work! I really enjoy watching your videos. You have great mindset in how you approach woodworking and how you tell the story of how each piece comes together to become functional art.

The sofa looks absolutely awesome :)
Andy love the sofa, beautiful work! The joinery is fantastic, great work. Scott
Great work as always
Great work
Nice piece, Andy!
Great job!!!

Cherry is a good wood!!
Good video
Nice explanation 🎉
I don't know how much you got paid man but you over-delivered regardless. Happy client! Beautiful piece of furniture.

I’ll look into that thanks!
What a stunning piece of custom furniture. A question if I can. I noticed on a number of clamp ups that you didn’t use scraps between the clamps and the finished work. Do you not get any bruising/indents? Thanks from Australia. Your work is outstanding
We use cardboard on clamp ups, especially with the bar clamps. If I don’t use it then it’s usually because it’s a part that still needs sanding.
So, post reading the caption... At first I thought you meant you smoked 61 joints throughout the process 😂 thought it must've been streesssful
Glad I wasn't the only one
Hahaha!!! Now that you’ve said something I can see how that mistake would be made!
@@AndyRawlsTell that to the police 🚔 😂
Wonderful piece of furniture.
Isn’t it just the cream on top to hv someone appreciate your hard work & not whine over the price of a heirloom piece that will go down from one family member to another? I do finish carpentry and it’s a battle sometime Andy but I don’t hv your talent! I stay in my lane it’s tough enough!
God Bless I see you are thankful to the Lord for your family!
24:27 This is peak masculinity
Can I ask what that couch cost?
Would it not have been easier to do the mortises when the pieces was square….I’m only saying 👍🇮🇪✌️
That’s actually a really good thought and the reason I don’t do it that way is it’s harder to control the grain orientation if you cut mortises into square parts. If you turn it first then you can place the mortises in the same orientation to the grain on all 6 post.
Heck I could have built that in ten hours and for the most part I am fairly sure it would have stayed together or been of some use but not to sit on.
