The Tools & Equipment I use- kit.co/nickped...
This Bench Seat is made from Tasmanian Oak and has been designed specifically for a client of mine. The finish used is Fiddes Oil- Satin.
One thing to mention that I didn’t explain in the video are the holes I drilled in the side rails before routing the dovetails. These holes allow me to drop and raise the side rail from the dovetail bit as dovetail bits are tapered making it very dangerous to lift or drop a workpiece onto the bit. Having said that, you may notice I had to back cut a small section in order to achieve this. This is not recommended for anyone who is inexperienced with a router. Back cutting can result in your workpiece being flung out of your hands resulting in serious injury.
Speaking of unsafe practices. The jig I used to cut the slots in the legs for the wedges was not specifically made for this technique. It was used for something else but I felt confident in using it as the main surfaces were appropriately supported. But once again I do not recommend this.
The spray used on the brass is a spray lacquer used to stop tarnishing. I’ve also hand rubbed a wax finish over the top of the lacquer once dried.
Once again I have to say that Osmo Oil isn’t a bad finish. I love the look of it on certain woods and the application is easy. I just feel that the protection has been lacking. Please let me know in the comments of any other finishes you like to use.

I just decided to give up woodworking altogether and continue watching your videos. A lot cheaper and much more satisfying.
I’ve seen soooo many woodworking videos on RUclips and I caught myself saying “are you f’n kidding me” many times during this. You’re an artist.
I would imagine that your new approach to filming is gonna have your channel explode. People connect with people. So seeing you, hearing you, let’s us connect with you. Looking forward to all your great work!
thank you
WoW! how you calculated, jigged and cut the holes to receive the legs made my newbie brains explode. It was like watching a magic trick. thank you for showing it.
6:30 am central time America
I must say I am addicted to your channel. You are the best craftsman on RUclips. You continue to inspire me to continue to hone my craft. Keep it going mate!
DAMN! I've watched several of your videos and find myself somewhere between immense envy and absolute awe at not just your craftsmanship, but your artistic vision to create. Hats off mate as ya'all say. If ya ever crave a 65 year old underling apprentice, give me a hoy.
Nick, you make incredible jigs and incredible pieces of art. I used to watch The New Yankee Workshop to get ideas, then I started to calculate the cost of equipment, materials, and time and soon realized it would be cheaper to just watch HIS show! Besides, I’m guessing it wouldn’t be long before I was missing a finger or two! Now, I can just watch your channel and live vicariously through your amazing skills! Thank you for this awesome channel, Nick!
This might be the first woodworking video that left me speechless. That was an experience! And I'm so freaking jealous of your skill.
Doing problems using Polar co-ordinates was my nemesis in math; watching you drill holes in wood whose position in the drill press is determined by consideration of three planes is mind-boggling. The fact that they all align at the end is supernatural.
I feel like I need you to write my content from now on! Lol Thats was amazing
He's truly an artist and a schematic,detailed and fine performer...
Wood worker..!?? No he's in my words wood artist..
Hey Nick, I really appreciate your work and your videos. The new on camera discussion is great and hopefully is feeling more natural for you. Your work speaks for itself but it’s very nice to hear your thoughts too :)
Thanks so much
Hear hear. Those afterwards insights indeed are a perfect organic ending to it all.
My father is a craftsman and furniture maker, I have watched him build beautiful kitchens, staircases, window frames, and furniture over the years, and while being impressed, I have never taken an interest in training up with him (He is close to retirement) it just never clicked in my head and he never explicitly encouraged it either so it never really happened...I can honestly say watching your videos over the last few years have made that spark of interest come to life for me. It's a beautiful craft and combined with my skills as a technical designer I hope I can make a good go of it :)
So after some pushing and convincing on his part my father is now training me on how to make things in his shop using the proper techniques etc :)
Thats amazing! Good luck with it all Sean
Yes, the good old Festool Domino. Lovely machine, just wish I could justify getting one!
wow - that might be one of my favorites builds you've done. I especially like the breakdown at the end. I'm still Rubio unless it's a lighter colored wood
Thanks Jon!
what do you use on light colored woods? I have a bunch of spalted tamarind I need a finish for and I'm trying to keep the very light to dark contrast.
I used Rubio with 5% white on hard maple and Baltic birch cabinets with good results. This eliminated yellowing of Rubio pure on light colored wood.
@@kyorising I'm a fan of Osmo Polyx Oil Raw for lighter woods that I don't want looking darker/yellow when finished.
I am in awe of the genius of your jigs!
Wow mate! The techniques used for those 2 long stretchers was a masterclass! Brilliant execution. And I still waffle between Osmo and Rubio depending on the wood species. I think some of these companies have been forced to alter their formulas due to supply chain issues with raw materials, but like to tell us it’s the same. I ran into similar issues with paint recently. On your recommendation, I’m going to give that Fiddes a try on an upcoming project. Thanks for sharing the info!
Thanks Keith! Yeah I agree, there seems to be supply chain issues across the board so I can understand that companies have to do what they have to do. All the best mate.
@@pedullastudio Same to you! Be well! Cheers.
I’m very weirdly excited seeing two of my favorite woodworkers commenting to each other
@@davidpetruzzi4173 Too kind! Thanks David.
I'm from Sydney but I actually discovered Nick through Keith's podcast. I love your work Nick and am enjoying the chit chat in the last few videos. If you ever go down the Patreon or RUclips member road, you have my money. Good luck. And thanks Keith 😉
You are the best wood craftsman on RUclips!
Your diversity is inspiring! Even if I never reach that level, it's still helpful and challenging to learn new ways and know that almost anything is possible with standard machines and hand tools.
I don't think I've ever commented before in 10 years.
Thank you for your dedication and the opportunity to push the levels!
Thanks so much for the comment!
This is what it would have been like watching Michelangelo, yet in my lifetime. Watching the steps involved in each of your works makes me realize the learning curve involved. So much to learn...Cheers.
Michaelangelo (like many master artists at the time) had apprentices, journeymen and other master craftsmen working for him to do the majority of the work /piece... frequently, the master would plan the work and others would execute it. Not only does this explains why some masters were so prolific, it also shows that there are multiple facits to producing great work; inspiration, design and production, which the Pedulla bench certainly has.
I think I’d stare at that all day if it was in my house. Well done!
I think this is my favourite yet: great proportions, genius techniques, brilliant use of materials and staggering finish.
Man, other woodworkers ive watched that can do detailed work like you always seem to make me want to put my tools down and close my shop forever lol you on the other hand inspire me to try even harder to hone the craft. Im very new still but im now to the point that ive got friends and family wanting me to make things for them. I cant tell you how awesome that feeling is. Thank you for talking the way you do and not making me feel like ill never be good enough 😂
absolutely stunning. fine furniture doesn't get much better than this.
Thanks
Your joinery is more than simple. The bench is very clerverly done. Love it. You are so creative.
What a beautiful and intricate piece of furniture produced by a true craftsman
Hi ,
Two recommendations from one of your big fans:
1. Please don't skip finishing Part, because it is the most satisfying part!!!
2. Please name your Works cause they are all Pieces of Arts.
Very pleasant and outstanding Job.
Thank you very much.
Thank you
Your explanation of the process you use is a definite upgrade for me. Very subtle piece! Almost past it up . LOL! Great choice of materials.
Thank you
Nick you are incredible! You're an artist, and inspiration, and I'd love to see you keep making videos if you can. Thank you for sharing your work with us.
Hi Nick,
Congratulations on being one of the finalists in the Australian Wood Review - Maker Of The Year awards!
The Vine Bench Seat is one outstanding piece of art.
Regards James
Hi Nick,
I've been using the fiddes hardwax oil for a few years now, and I really rate it. I used to use mainly polyx and top oil, and I've used rubio a fair bit too for some of their very unique colours, but fiddles is definitely my go to in general. I don't make high end freestanding pieces like you, my work is mainly bespoke kitchen's. But I suspect most kitchen's get a harder life in terms of wear and liquids than a cherished piece of furniture, so I think you will be sound. Really pleased to have found your channel, your designs are beautiful and the execution looks flawless. Your workshop is also inspiring! As someone who's workshops have always been very utilitarian, and not in any way made to look nice, it's really great to see a space that's so welcoming to go and work in. Would be great to see a little pan around the space one day on here?
Thanks,
Ben
I realize this comment will probably get lost in the ether, but I still feel compelled to comment. This is one of, if not THE, best woodworking videos I've seen. The techniques you employ are incredible. Truly a masterclass in an environment where a lot of content makers falsely label their videos as such; not only that, but pair it with your creativity, and this is unmatched. Absolutely unreal. Thank you.
I really like how you combine brass with your pieces, and it inspires me to try to add some brass to my future projects in the future. Personally, I use Odie’s Oil for my projects.
Extraordinary from start to finish. Design, technique, functionality and form. Absolutely perfect. Beautiful work.
You are..... don´t know the only word I can find to describe the grade of dedication , planning and exercicing your projects is SICK !!!
Only all the jigs you design and build for furniture is on a higher level regarding cleverness and skill than other peoples inteired projects.
Apart from that from my point of view you are not a woodworker and film maker you are an absoulute artist in this disciplines.
I really apriciate you showing your face in the vidieos by now, it gives the whole thing a much mor personal touch...
Thank you so much for sharing your work with us !
Respect and regards from Germany
Jens
What I enjoy most about your videos is your dedication to the creative process, not just the craft. Very inspiring!
Outstanding.
I often tell people anyone can make things, it's just a matter of fastidiously following processes, but your talent for imagining designs and then your technical ability to develop solutions, processes, and jigs to achieve the vision is next level.
Bravo.
Outstanding, as usual, if as usual is a correct word 😊
Your speach at the beginning and end are a great addition to your "silent " videos, particularly for sharing and explainning design choices.
Tnanks a lot !
Thanks for watching
Technicallly, you are excellent, but your understanding of design, and your willingness to discuss your thinking process is inspiring for other woodworkers, and collectors too. You're npt just a craftsman, but an artist too.
Simply! You are an artist. And what you do is art. End of converation. Congratulations.
Woah, stunning!! I just wanted to see what the "simple joinery" was going to be and ended up unable to stop watching every detail. Magic!
I am currently using Odies Oil. So far I have been very pleased with it and yes, you need to learn how much to use.
Good to know
There are some outstanding woodworkers on RUclips and you’re my absolute favorite.
Wonderful textures Nick. So elegant and well worth the watch. Thank you for sharing your techniques with us all. I've learned a lot from you.
🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷 I look a lot of video about woodworking, french ones or not, and I think your creations are the most well done I ever seen!
Congratulations !!! 🤩
Your work speaks for itself, but even so I’m glad to hear your commentary. Thanks for sharing your craftsmanship.
Thank you
This is beautiful to watch you create what at first seems simple but I'm sure wasn't that simple, your work has a finesse about it.
Thank you for this manufacturing share 🙏 showing all the methods is really magical for any woodworking lover. know that I share your works regularly on groups of French enthusiasts and that your work is really appreciated in France 😉 congratulations again to you Nick 👍👍👍
Thank you so much!
I have had very good results with the Tried and Ture finishes, specifically their Original Wood Finish. I have a coffee table I made ~15 years ago that get boots, drinks, food, animals on it constantly and no scratching or water marks that can't be easily buffed out. Not sure you can get it down under or not, but worth a try if you can.
Keep up the great work, its nice to see you in the your videos now, truly adds a lot.
Good to know Thanks!
A exceptional piece, but. I watched nearly 30 minutes of video to see "Simple Joinery You've Never Seen Before". This was exceptional, well thought out and complex joinery done very well. Thank you.
I gave up long ago trying to find superlatives to describe your work Nick. You have a very obvious love of Mid-Century Modern design, which is why I enjoy watching you craft these works of art.
Lol Thanks Anthony
The Jig Game is strong with this one!!!!👽 I dont think I've ever seen a video with so many techniques and jigs in one build. Amazing build 👏
The stretchers, omg! That is a really unique design choice, even for your standards! As always, outstanding work :))
The bench also looks really delicate overall, Nick. But it seems to be able to hold quite some mass up!
Thank you
I am stun. What a masterpiece. I do love the attention to the small details. Like the small stop blocks in the braze pipes (or what to call them). It is such well thought lovely furniture.
Thank you
One of the best woodworkers on RUclips. You and ISHITANI should get together and make something that would make us mortals cry.
Thank you
I really enjoy your videos and always finish off watching them, relaxed, humbled and inspired. Thanks for the amazing content.
Love it! Both the video and the piece. I like that you made the switch to "show yourself". Also like how you alternate between music and pure shop sounds.
Thank you
Incredible woodworking skills. Respect from a carpenter myself.
I'm speechless...attention to detail and quality craftsmanship. Can't wait for your next episode
Thank you
I reallty liked the jig you had for drilling the sgtretcher holes in the legs. Brilliant method of work.
I really enjoy watching a Master at work. The techniques give me so many ideas in making my personal items. Thanks for posting.
Stunning, beautiful work. And, I LOVE the editing choices. I love that there are times when the music just stops and there is nothing but silence and sound of the tool. I think that the video editing should also get some credit. SO good.
Thanks so much!
Beautiful work! Those wood textures and brass pieces really made the bench extra special.
Nick. I love your furniture and how you blend metals with wood. As well as being a master craftsman, you are also a master jig maker. I don't know how you come up with some of your jig ideas. Brilliant.
Thank you
The stretchers are really great. Also, the hand-tooled finish on the breadboards and stretcher inlays. Thanks again!
The detail on those stretchers!!!
Absolutely wonderful. I have no word to express how beautiful this piece of furniture is. Congratulations.
I am seriously a hack when it comes to woodworking, your stuff is by far on a completely other level than what I could ever achieve right now, but I absolutely LOVE watching your content. You have a great focus on design and I love to see "how" you get it done. Wishing you all the best in the future and look forward to watching more of these videos, you certainly are top in class for this area of content creation with out a doubt!
Would love to know what books you may recommend for someone who would like to learn more about design and the design process.
This is perhaps the best furniture building video I've seen on RUclips. I'm just a hobby wood worker and am mightly impressed with the jigs you make. Although I'll never reach your standard you've pushed me quite a bit along the road to improving my work.
Thats awesome . Thank you
You sir are a magician. This is inspirational work. I have woodworking equipment in my shed that's been lying there for years. Makes me want to do build something again!
Mr Padullà is not a high end woodworker, he is an artist. Every project is a piece of art.
Thank you
Wow! Beautiful workmanship and end result. I like the textures you added. You gave me a great idea for a fireplace mantle commission. Thanks for sharing your workmanship.
Thanks for watching
I have no words to describe all the technic of this bench. Gorgeous project again.
Thank you
Wow. That's got to be the best looking bench I've ever seen
Stunning work. So satisfying watching a true craftsman at work!
Amazing work. I love how you come up with the jigs to cut and shape the wood. Very creative.
I used Rubio for a walnut butcher block dining room table top and it looked great at first but was completely stripped off in a year. Even only used their cleaner on it. Refinished with pure Tung Oil after watching some RUclips reviews and its been great so far but only a few months on it. Will have to see how it holds up.
I can't say that I'm a fan of the design, however all the techniques you apply are unbelievable... the way you execute them is brilliant, without any mistakes... CONGRATULATIONS... curious for the next project
Thanks for the comment
I always say jigs make the project possible and this video proves my point! So lovely! I like how you always seem to be adding a bit of metal to your pieces. Also the addition of texture is very pleasing to my eye. I understand what you're saying about finishes. Somehow I landed on General Finishes Arm R Seal. I just got used to it and learned how too work with it but I have been wanting to try Rubio Mono Coat so I bought some but now I am terrified to try it! Keep up the wonderful work!
Thank you
Just stumpled upon this video. Very cool work, also an excellent presentation! I am a hobby-isch woodworker; your skills, designs and execution are truly inspiring. .....and I will now continue to binge-watch all your other videos.
This was great Nick. And by the finished piece, it sure does not look like you were out of your comfort zone. Beautiful work, and loved the interaction as that helps us as viewers to understand your thought process
Thanks so much
I love your work. Nice to se proper joinery and uncredited design.
Thanks
Really glad you made this. Not only is yours my favorite woodworking channel, I've lately been considering trying Osmo in place of my usual Rubio, so it's quite timely. Keep up the great work.
Its still a great product. Its always good to make your own opinion on finishes. Thanks for watching and for the comment
Truely gorgeous, especially the carved accents on the lower stretcher. Your designs inspire me like few others on RUclips. Keep the videos coming from down under.
Thank you mate
You are one of my favourite people. The way you make, skills and how things are made?? It the best of all I have ever watched. Thank you and looking forward to see more in the future.. 👌👌
Thanks so much
Another great piece! It looks delicate, yet very solid at the same time. Awesome job!
Thank you
Here you can see how passion for details looks like. I love it! And I like your explanation and sum up at the end of the video!
Thank you
We love the way you've used brass in this piece and that the pins are not just a decorative accent. The lathe pieces are unique with the angled cuts and the detailed inserts. At the distance shot of those stretchers the carved insets looked like extremely detailed macrame stitches of wood slivers. Don and I are always amazed with your designs especially your curved pieces. We can't wait for the notification on your next project post. We hope you go into detail on how you bend the wood. Thanks for sharing your designs with us all.
Thank you for the comment Sharon
Awesome built!
Love the textured details on the piece. It really gives a whole different appearance of the wood.
Thank you
My new favorite wood channel, thankyou for sharing your talents!
Well done again, I always look forward to your builds. i've used Tried and True finish for the past 14 years and have not been disappointed.......yet :)
Good to know
That's the most beautiful bench that I've ever seen!
I re finished my old white oak hardwood floor with fiddis and have gotten loads of complements on the results! (7 months of heavy use and it’s held up very well) Funny enough I’m just about to use the leftovers from the can on a little front entrance bench
Nice!
Stunning work and really enjoy your approach and design style! To your question, My go-to has been General Finishes Enduro as it has great wear and buffs out nicely; mostly i. The SATIN sheen. Lately been experimenting with Rubio Monocoat and I've found a pretty easy learning curve and sometimes difficult to get enough color impregnated so the prep is important. Like you I like Osmo for walnut (in particular), especially for highly figured wood and just delivered a console table with an exhibition figure Claro slab with Osmo for the top- legs were sculpted white oak and treated with a colored Rubio monocoat, particularly since it had some exposed end-grain (by design). My shop is in Los Angeles and a wide variety of commissioned pieces including a lot of casework - wish to do more creative stuff in the vein you do. Best Regards, Mike
Thanks for the comment Mike
Maybe the best furniture making clip ever. Up there with Isitani. Epic!
Undoubtedly you make the sexiest furniture on RUclips. Just superb. Your flair for design is 2nd to none. Bravo sir. Keep it up. I’ll certainly continue to watch, learn and take inspiration.
thanks so much
This is not just a job, it is a passion. Absolutely beautiful and a pleasure to watch…😍😍
Thank you
Great production quality! A pleasure to watch. Your videos and furniture designs are by far my favorite to watch on youtube. I'm so glad that you decided to explain your process for others to learn. Congrats and good luck with the channel!
Thanks so much
Tasmanian Oak is a beautiful timber and so nice to work with unlike many other Australian timbers.
Nick, thank you again for posting such beautifully shot and executed work. Really makes my day to see a new video from you.
Awesome! Thank you
Greeting from Taiwan. This is the best bench I have ever seen, I'd say!
Thanks!
You’re the best Todd. Thank you!
