Beautiful work!!! How can someone not like your work? #one PROUD mom
Thanks Mom!
Not to worry, Mrs. Cremona. Those who click "thumbs down," have either done so in error, or are part of the RUclips sub-human species often referred to as "Sniveling Troll Losers." These types live in a suffocating, poisonous reality filled with feelings of jealousy, hatred, and self-loathing that they desperately want to transfer to those whom they envy.
Matthew Cremona has
Mom always knows best! :)
Well said.
Dude! That is gorgeous!!! Not just a Queen Anne Highboy ... an all weather, all terrain Queen Anne Highboy. Very well done!!!!
Haha! Thanks!
This is absolutely stunning. Beautiful piece! 👊❤️
Thanks Steve!
I like woodworking.... BUT... I do not possess the talent nor the patience to build something like this. Amazing.
Steve Ramsey - Woodworking for Mere Mortals Just WOW!! Speechless
I watch your channel too Steve Ramsey!! I am a mere mortal-beginner after all
first off this is the longest video I have ever watched, and i couldnt be more impressed man. Expertly done and incredible attention to detail. Awesome stuff bro
Thank you so much John!
What an absolutely stunning piece! Really beautiful! And it's especially satisfying to know that you probably slabbed the boards yourself from a suburban tree removal somewhere, then from there to drying it and working the lumber down into its final dimensions, then into this amazing heirloom, like someone in the mid-18th century crafting in this style. Well done!
Wow. That is living the dream for me. Milling your own lumber from trees you cut down and turning those boards into stunning pieces like this. You certainly are loving my dream.
You are, by far, my favorite craftsman on RUclips! Keep those projects coming, Matt!
Thank you!
My word Matt...it's a thing of exuberant beauty. You're right up there mate with Mr. Maloof & Mr. Sellers. Let's call you guys the 'Untouchables' of the woodworking community.
I'll be honest it's not the type of furniture that I would buy for my home - but man is it beautiful! The aesthetics - although not my favourite - are undeniable, your skills and attention to details are simply masterful. The matching of the wood grain throughout this project is probably my favourite part and I am smiling at the idea of how nice it will look after a few years of maturing. I hope these pieces remain in your family for generations - that would be the most fitting tribute to your work.
People really don't notice all your hard work until you create something beautiful. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Jeff!
@@mcremona Your Welcome. Been binge watching your videos. Really appreciate all the hard work and then filming it all at the same time. Very impressive for a young man!
Hi Mat. From an also snowy Germany, many thanks for sharing these 30 minutes of the highest level of furniture carpentry. Ist's a real joy to see you creating things like this from slab. Your are our absolute favorit when it comes to Classic Furniture making. Have a nice weekend.
Matt: Your Guild project is at the top of my wish list! I built a queen anne lowboy a few years ago along with my wife for one of our granddaughters when she turned 13. Lucky girl! My wife did the ball and claw carving on the feet and the front shell. And yes, we work well together. Now she (my wife) wants me to build the highboy. She doesn't care that we already have a nice commercially made one in our bedroom. :) I'll use that as an "excuse" to get some more expensive tools!
"I'll use that as an "excuse" to get some more expensive tools!" - Unless, of course, she's reading this while silently standing behind you frowning, with her arms crossed, tapping her foot in abject disapproval. - Just kidding, of course. ;^)
Stunning work Matt! You are still my favorite woodworker on RUclips! And I liked seeing that Hammer at 15:18
Thanks James!!
Absolutely gorgeous. My son and I watched in awe. Fantastic craftsmanship sir.
Thank you!
These two pieces are some of the finest woodworking to ever hit RUclips. Just stunning.
Thank you!!
So fine to see there remain cabinet makers amongst us still. I bet the piece builders of the 1700's would be SOOOO envious of our modern tools and shops. And to think you'd be right at home as a Master back then ;-) Sadly, not so many others of us could say that today. Magnificent work. And you've made your momma proud, as well. Goes to show ...
A wonderful project and video, I enjoyed it very much.
Matt while I wasn’t a fan of your tractor skills, this Queen Anne is priceless and shows what a “ true” woodworker creates.
Your skills are unmatched here in your tube.
Great, Great job !!
Really enjoyed watching this one, Matt!
I like the New Yankee Workshop esque intro and outtro. Absolutely amazing craftsmanship. The details like continuing the grain across drawer bottoms and even book matching the rear is next level.
thank you!
Much respect Matt. That's a huge project to take on and you knocked it out of the park!
Jesus Christ, Matt! I've watched your milling stuff for years, but never really SAW any of the woodwork. You're bloody amazing! A true master (and I say that in guilded sense)! Outstandig work m'man. Unbelievable.
Amazing Matt thanks for sharing a shorter version with your RUclips fan base
Thank you!!
I would have stained this piece darker, but as someone who collects 18th and early 19th century furniture, I’m very impressed. Your workmanship is excellent.
Wow, that is a work of art!
thank you!
Matt, Absolutely stunning! Way, WAY beyond anything I would ever even dream about doing. My wife just watched this video with me and while she liked the furniture, she said for your next project we need a baby sister. haha.
hahahaha Thanks!
Beautiful work Matt, patience of a saint and the skills to go with it
You sir are a masochist!!! Gorgeous piece of work with an obscene amount of dovetails! You truly have a talent that isnt seen very often in today's manufacturing society. Congratulations Matt!!
Thank you so much!
WOW!!! Matt this is incredible build this is awesome. Just seeing it next to the secretary in the color after a few years the highboy color change is going to be sweet I can’t imagine how but it will. Following along on this build was a incredible series.
Thank you so much, Thom!
I watched the series, and it was nice to see it all come together in one video. Beautiful work, Matt.
Thanks Brian!
Dude! I have so many geeky questions... 😀 Beautifully paced video and the end result is stunning. The proportions, the craftsmanship, the finish... stunning. Hopefully catch up at Makers Central! Andy Mac 👍🛠
I am sure any and every possible word has been used to commend you for not only building such a complex and beautiful piece of furniture but also presenting such a wonderful video capturing the building process so just a huge thank you from this novice woodworker who also loves his bandsaw mill.
Magnificent. We need more of this on RUclips.
agreed
Not that many that can do it.
I'm blown away by this....Proof that some people are lucky enough to be doing exactly what they should be doing.
Just beautiful craftsmanship Matt.
Thank you Tom!
This is the finest and most complex furniture project Ive ever seen.
Upon unboxing, I was immediately upset at how the rails were very noticeably bent. But I kept going, all tools needed to assemble were included ruclips.net/user/postUgkxqtX4Dxs6aecAZEuz6GY5-d81YecKCshn and I had it set up in about 30 minutes. Honestly I love this thing, make sure to read the measurements and measure your space so you know if it'll work for you. I bought this to put inside my closet, underneath where I hang my clothes and it is absolutely perfect! It is VERY sturdy and all drawers glide easily and mine are stuffed, and they are still flush when closed.
your attention to detail is second to none , great work !!
Thank you!
By far my favorite woodworker! Just the things that you do are amazing keep it up Matt!
thank you so much!
I have never sat thru a video this long EVER, until this, very very cool. Yes I'll be purchasing your plans, how could I not!
Solid weekend project. Great job!
Maybe a long weekend 😄
Yeah, Summer break from teaching long weekend. That included a lot of hand work, not just machinery.
I was thinking about knocking one of those out after dinner tonight...
Rumor has it Norm bangs this out on a slow Tuesday.... 😂😂😂
I forgive you for your ignorance but, this was far from a "weekend-project" Please try to at least show some kind of knowledge of what it take to build a pc of fine furniture at this level. Please post one of your "weekend" fine furniture projects and tell us all about it. Thank you MC, I will check out "woodtalk" great stuff.
Such meticulous attention to detail. Your craftsmanship is superb. The finished High Boy is just glorious.
My husband was a cabinet maker, so I know the amount of time and skill it takes to produce something like this.
I absolutely love it.
Regards Rowena 🇬🇧
Now we need to know what that hidden note says. Looks great Matt!!
Nothing too crazy. Just some info about me. How old I am, my kids names and ages, how long lindsay and I have been married, the address where it was built, and that it was the summer 2017 guild build
Now I don't have to spend the rest of my life wondering
think of all the free time you'll have now
Matthew Cremona it may be enough time to build a highboy
I feel honored to have gotten to watch this. This is one of the most beautiful things I've seen created. Thank you.
thank you!
Matt, incredible work as always! Both in your woodworking and video editing. This one is a masterpiece!
Thank you!!
Wow that 30 minites seemed short. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I've done my job as an editor then :) thanks!
Amazing work, you must be one of a very few furniture builders who transform a tree into finished furniture. It’s a rear craft that must be very satisfying. Thanks making your videos.
Thank you!
Wow, what a true piece of art. Job well done. Well worth the time spent. You have patience that most do not have. I'll bet it took some serious time to put this video together as well. Keep up the good work Matt. 👍
Thank you Ben!
🇬🇧 Matt any home owner would be immensely proud to give this house room. 👍👍👏👏
That is some persistence, patience, and amazing skill! Awesome job, Matt!
Thank you!!
Impressive. What I find even more impressive is that you built that in a shop that is smaller than some people's bathrooms.
Absolutely beautiful! Amazing to see the last many months of work in one video. Congratulations!
Thank you so much. I always enjoy your videos but whenever I need a pick me up mood wise I watch one of your videos.
True artistry!
Thank you!
Beautiful work, Matt!
Thanks Matt!
Incredible! So much skill and talent at such a young age.
I can't evenimagine what you'll be doing 20 years from now.
Outstanding project!!
Thanks Jim!
You are a credit to the world of wood working and from what I can tell the world as a whole ! I have watched and followed you for quite a while now. i love your saw mill stuff especially with your dad helping. I miss mine a lot when I am doing projects. I am not sure why I did not watch all of this video untill now . But am very glad I got to it.
As I've been saying all along, Just an Incredible Job!!!
thank you!!
Now that is a Masterpiece indeed! You are the modern day Thomas Chippendale in my opinion, and what a wonderful process to watch. Fantastic stuff.
Thanks!
There were places where the background noise was crickets chirping. I thought that thunderous applause would have been more appropriate!
Hahaha agreed!
Matt, you demonstrate what a true craftsman really is. Great job as always!
Thank you!!
Very nice build.
thank you!
Queen Anne furniture in cherry is among the most beautiful furniture I know; what a stunning piece!
Thank you!
St Mathew you are now blessed you became a saint
thanks :)
You Sir, are a Master! I'm astonished with your Dovetail work. I've only watched your sawmill episodes before i am now hooked to your woodworking videos.
Thanks!
Very nice !!!
I've never wanted a Queen Anne piece, but you figured out how to do it. Good job. Master Carpentry is fun to see done.
Even the back is too gorgeous to want to put it against a wall
thanks!!
Matt, I haven't been following you long enough to have seen this project of yours before now. I've got to say that I'm extremely impressed with your woodworking skills. Congratulations on having completed a wonderful and quite epic project. You have every right to be very proud of yourself. Super workmanship.
Thanks Marty!
GIVE THEM MORE VIEWS!!!
"I'm not very gifted at turning..." *proceeds to making a beautiful turning*. Lol. Love this video Matt. This is about the 5th time I've watched it. Absolutely gorgeous.
😂😂😂 thank you!
As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement ruclips.net/user/postUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!
Your craftsmanship is exquisite. Absolutely stunning Matthew.
Wow, that is very tedious, but the result is awesome. How much would this sell for?
froggleggers well, Trent Preszler makes canoes that take a year to build and he sells them for $100,000. I think this only took Matt 5 or 6 months so you should be able to get it for under $50,000 by that math!
It was a serious question.
froggleggers I mean, I was being funny I guess, but that canoe IS an actual example. I think this took Matt about 5 months to make. If he only worked 5 hours a day on weekdays only that would be 500 hours. I'm sure it was much more, but we'll play it conservative for easy calculation. It's highly skilled "labor" so I'd say it's easily worth $100 an hour. That's $50,000 right there, so it really isn't that out of line with what a reasonable cost may be if you were to have something like this custom built to order.

That is quite possibly one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever seen made. This is at the top of the list for aspirational woodworking. The effort you put in for the molding miter matches at the top alone is pretty amazing. Well done!
Thanks Jason!
Not bad... 5/7
Score!
dammit Brendan
My parents owned an antique Chippendale highboy very much like this one. When my Mom passed a few years ago, my older brother took the highway, dang it.
One of my aspirations as I grow as a woodworker is to build a replica of that piece in mahogany. When I get to that point, the example you have provided (plus the plans and 36 detailed videos, which I will be purchasing) will be a huge part of what helps me get there.
Thank you, Matt!
Wow! Even if it's not your style of furniture you have to admirer the beauty of it and the level of craftsmanship (and Patience) gone into it! Great work Matt
Thank you!
Matt - I have to say this beautiful furniture made in the USA. The wood was cut from a tree grown in the USA. This is Awesome! I LOVE your work.
thanks Don!
My God man .... When did you start woodworking ... like when you were two years old ! Matt you do phenomenal work and there is only one way to describe this Queen Anne Highboy ... simply incredible ! How much does one of those sell for ! It has to be worth many thousands easily ! I can see why your mom is proud of you ... keep up the outstanding work and keep making video's ... I can watch you all day long. Next time I will get out the popcorn ! Love your work .... you sure know a lot for such a young man that's for sure ! :-) Dennis in western Canada
Absolutely outstanding what more can be said! You are a true craftsman.
Thank you!
Congrats Matt. Something to be really proud of
Thank you!
I hope that gorgeous piece lasts a thousand years and your note never gets prematurely read
Again Matt, I am astonished watching you craft this piece. Your craftsmanship is superb. Your finish is spot on. Again I am impressed by watching a Master at work. Thank you.
I watched your entire build without interruption. I must say to you, in my opinion, without exception, you are truly a master carpenter and precise woodworker. Absolutely fantastic and quite amazing. I only wish I possessed the skill. The product was incredible and very impressive. Keep care of those fingers, they are competent and exact. Accidents happen quickly, take great care!
WOW!
The patience necessary to finish such a complex piece. The man hours to see it through. The issues, mistakes and problems that you must of had to persevere through. I've seen so many projects like this started and pushed into the corners of the shop due to these factors and dozens more. I admire your tenacious character and your skill as a Master Craftsman.
thank you so much!
Good afternoon Matthew from the UK. I know this is a long time after you put this feature onto You Tube but I just had to add a comment.
Usually I watch all your log sawing activities and always enjoy them, and fascinated by the different grain patterns you achieve.
However I have only just seen the feature of your work building the Queen Anne Highboy unit. Absolutely superb, I never thought of you as a woodworking craftsman but this work is outstanding. I always envy the wood which you Americans have available but in the final analysis it has to be 'worked' and you certainly have done that very well. Thank you for a most enjoyable feature.
Another amazing piece o' furniture that is a work of art. And, I hope it's one that will be cared for by your descendants and stays in your family for many generations. Thanks for the inspiring videos.
thank you!
one word to say......masterpiece !!!!!!!!!!! incredible work
Can watch your stuff all day, thanks Matt.
When you consider Matt built the saw that cut the wood, THEN, used that wood to build this piece. Well, you have something, and someone, who is very talented indeed. Well done Matt.
and he pick out the tree
Who gave this a thumbs down? This piece is AWESOME!
Saw that highboy in fine woodworking magazine years ago. Have been eager to build it ever since. I now have a subscription and can't wait for each new edition. Good job, great magazine!
Only two word for your furniture...absolutely outstanding 👏 👌 WOW...keep your videos coming extremely interesting from beginning to end...regards Lady C, The Bahamas 🇧🇸 😀
This is one beautifully crafted piece of cabinetry Matt.Actually it is BEYOND beautiful it is MASTERFUL.
Thank you so much!
A person may understand there is value in knowing something is hand made but to see what actually goes into doing it doubles its value. I am truly in awe at watching this piece come together. I can honestly now appreciate what others can feel in fine music. Matt, if I could afford it I would commission a piece from you. Finding that which is within us and be able to express it so well is just beautiful. .................... In other words, Matt, ain't half bad!
Thank you so much, Larry!
That thing is amazing. Excellent work. It was nice seeing the whole video after keeping up with each one weekly for so long.
thank you!!
WOW Matt! You are one talented dude !!.You gotta love wood>It grows out of the earth and can last centuries when worked and finished.Keep up the great work.Your videos are hypnotic
Wow, that's a beautiful piece of furniture Matt. Thanks for sharing, appreciate the editing. The dance was appropriate, happy Saint Patrick's Day.
Haha yes! Thank you!
