"It's slightly inconvenient to turn off my lamp at night, let's casually build a whole custom nightstand"
It’s the only good option
@@VaughnVacca maybe just extend the switch? You could easily do that
@@Hellomrmem nahhhhh lol
I just tell Alexa to turn the light off or on...easy peasy
OR! You’re a creator, an artist, a thinker so why not challenge yourself. Even though it might have been practically unnecessary it was definitely a way to try new things and hone skills. And I imagine very satisfying to use.
Oh my god the "by the time I turn the light off, I'm not as sleepy" is TOO fucking real.
FR Solving the real problems in the world with this one
you’ve definitely become a core memory for that neighbor kid
I kinda hope he finds this video when he's old enough to remember it, and recognizes this guy as his neighbor he used to watch build furniture
@@Crowsieand then he finds this comment thread and is like “Man this is wild!” 😂😂😂
@@gymleaderkeeko6165 and then he finds your comment and he's like "omg man, do these guys have camera's in my room"
Then he stars looking though his room to find the camera
the project is obviously super nice but the editing, pacing and storytelling of the video are just... chefs kiss
you should watch Gawx Art, that's who he takes ideas/inspiration from.
even the sound scoring is like watching a coming of age movies
I came here for this, no matter what scene or step he was at i just kept reiterating ‘this is some great cinematography/editing’ lol
“Solving problems you created” that’s the life of an artist man. I love that all artists no matter what medium share this love of puzzle solving
Could not relate more. I'm a programmer but any passion project goes exactly like this!
@@user-yx4fq2jl8i i'm sure it could be argued that software developers are also artists in a sense
Sounds more like an engineer haha, though I guess you could consider engineers to be artists!
It’s the not artist or engineers it’s both ✨designers✨
Truly an inspiration. Thank you my friend.
I do pest control and I got a similar respirator. If you can smell it, it may be time to replace that cartridge or check the fit
Def this, at my job we switch between cartridges after 7 days of exposure to air. If you store them in a air tight container when you dont use them will stretch the expiration date.
I’m not 100% sure on this, but I think there are different cartridges for different hazards, fumes, dust etc
@@CptSpears007 Yes there are. I have/use particle filter cartridges for woodworking, and vapour cartridges for painting. The vapour cartridges are impressive for what they block, including 2K paint fumes.
I’m sorry but 19:54 - the atmosphere, the camera, the audio, why am I getting chills over a RUclips video about making a nightstand. Insanely good
same with 23:10
The build is beautiful but that little section was my favourite part of this whole video.
crazy good
Why is no one talking about 25:41
You are high on crack
Woodworking, electrical work, videography, story telling! What a skilled young man! Keep the ambitions up
this guy doing all this stuff.... i was watching youtube in college ( i graduated 2019) smh
bro never seen you before but you're the goat
like that you let your neighborhood kids watch
The key is to (eventually, with supervision, in appropriate ways) let them help build, as well.
its a cycle of younger kids watching and learnin
"some of these kerf joints are probably the tightest I've ever bent" is such a specific yet strong flex :D and this is an awesome build! I'm already excited for the lamp :)
Very specific indeed :)
Thanks for watching!
if you ever happen to be in the cold again, a tip I learned growing up in mn is that the fastest way to warm your body up if your hands are freezing is to unzip your coat and put your hands in your armpits, I have done this on a frozen lake in the boundary waters in -38F windchill weather, genuinely pretty extraordinary how well the core of your body hold heat compared to your hands, might come in handy next season as weather gets more extreme in the world
I do the same thing in Saskatchewan Canada. Also just sitting on your hands when you are inside, warm water, or just suck it up :)
bro, your editing style, audio mixing, and overal charisma make this SUCH a good watch. honestly, i feel like makers and woodworkers specifically have such a finger on the pulse when it comes to videos!! amazing
School’s out…Miles is back. Good to see you.
I'm already out of school 😭
This is what I pay my internet bills to watch. What a cinematic masterpiece, chef's kiss
I love super niche items people make to solve a specific problem. Humans are cool
Im finishing my graphic design degree, and since I began studying there was a part of me which REALLY wanted to design and create furniture...Your channel gave me the final push to start woodworking classes, thank you❤
Yesss, do it! Making furniture is time consuming, but you get to keep it forever and you get to make it in exactly the style you want.
Miles it is such a pleasure every time one of your videos is released. I find the grind of making and running a business in our woodworking field sometimes binds me up and I can lose sight of what brought me into this craft in the first place… there is something about your video editing, storytelling, and just pure ‘making’ process that is very grounding and inspiring to experience. Every time you’ve got a vid out I cant wait to watch, and every time I feel the impulse to leave a comment but never do… so I’m finally ticking that box. From one maker to another just thank you for contributing to this space in such a unique way.
This comment made my day. I am glad my videos are able to transfer some energy and inspiration; that’s the goal. When you have your head in your work for too long, it’s easy to lose perspective like you said, I’ve had that happen many times. I’m so glad there is a community of makers and woodworkers to remind us we aren’t the only ones feeling that way. Thank you for watching and for your thoughtful comment!
I could feel that “my hands” part, living as I do near the other Portland in Maine. Watching you wrestle that job site table saw out there-gees. You’re a trooper, Miles.
There is definitely a way to work safely wearing gloves. All the setup can be done with gloves with zero risk. Certain tools also pose no increased risk when wearing gloves. But it seems when he’s inside it’s warm so no need. It was just the table saw. He could have done all the setup with gloves and even his left hand could have been gloved when cutting since all it’s doing is holding the push stick well away from the blade.
Where mere mortals would've moved the lamp, put a timer on it, or bought a new lamp for 0.125% of the money/time you spent, you have a truly beautiful and functional piece of art. Nice!
I don't think there's any word I can describe this video with except exquisite.
The camera work, the subtle story line, the music and chill vibes wafting over everything.
This is the first time I've seen one of your videos but my man I'm absolutely about to dive into the rest.
Awesome nightstand, sick video
I'm a big fan of your designs. It's also great to see how you're thinking about encouraging the next generation.
I just found this video on my FYP, and I think I have found my new favorite YT woodworker. It is so cool to see someone my age making such amazing stuff + your incredible cinematography skills add so much depth to the video.
Hey! Thanks for checking out my videos. I’m glad other young people are interested in this type of stuff.
never thought i would finish an almost thirty minute youtube video but here i am. i have 0 clue about woodwork nor making furniture but i do love myself some good story-telling and you managed to sell me on that. so great to see creators like you share their creativity on the internet in such an artistic & captivating way! you definitely have a bright future ahead with your ideas & skills. you're one of the few creators who keep this platform original and alive
All this for a nightstand light. Man's got skills, but more importantly, DETERMINATION. All while still in college. Major props, Miles. Looking forward to your next self-made problem that needs fixing!
20:00 "it's -9° C outside, school is canceled"
Meanwhile in Russia: yeah it's -32° C outside.... but it's not -35° though! So we can't cancel the classes, you have to go.
Jokes aside, you guys probably have much warmer climate than we do, so it's understandable that the rules differ for our countries.
Keep up the good work, man, this looks awesome!
“…basically just cardboard covered in fake plastic.” 😂😂😂 I may or may not work for the big blue and yellow box. Beautiful work, both on the woodworking and the video as a whole. Subscribed.
I LOVE this! Detailed problem solving + craftsmanship + good design + good video making + humor = Big company in the making!! Keep up the good work
If someone scoffs at plywood furniture, then they're not a woodworker. Everything has its place. Great job!
Bro's not a woodworker, he's a professional cinematographer
some advice for the veneer that I learnt from my mom who works with Vinyl a lot! Peel the backing as youre applying it, this will prevent it sticking where you don't want it to. You can also cut the backing where you want to start with it, and fold it in sections that sorta act as checkpoints for the peeling
All the thought you put into the designs, like the soft close drawers and the rounded edges on the inside edges just make it so so good
The trailer got me hooked!!! Can’t wait to see this project!
You took woodworking into a whole new modern, stylish, story telling, and editing level!!! Appreciate the effort you spend to make us fans happy!!!!
Being incredibly skilled at woodwork is one thing, but your additional skill in colour grading and filmmaking is just incredible.
A tip from someone who grew up with a carpenter dad: There are 2 types of gloves: Warm gloves.. and work gloves. Those are thin, usually out of some kind of rubber with non-slip coating on the palm-side. Those are great to keep at least a bit of bodyheat in on the hands on a cold day. I used them many a cold day while helping my dad. They are also designed to easily rip if they get caught on something, so it takes off a piece of glove instead of skin.
This production is great. I loved what you were able to capture with your filming and editing style. From the music choices to the story boarding. I love that you were able to capture some comedy in your editing as well. I loved when you appeared in frame picking up that slab. The lighting was obviously consistently considered even when you had to work with what you had like inclement weather conditions. Great ideas and great story captured beautifully and shared well. This video deserves some kind of certification of quality.
Your videos have been inspiring me! My dad is a hobbyist woodworker (mostly cabinetry) and I was always vaguely interested in it growing up, but I thought it wasn't "creative enough" for me, as an artist. But now as an adult in college, videos like yours have sparked that creative interest I needed to get started! Your amp project blew me away and the cloud chair video made me itch to make a chair for myself! Can't wait to get started soon :)!
I haven’t been focused on one video for so long, and watching your video is just such of enjoyment
Dude, it's obvious watching this video that you mean business. You hooked the viewer in with a highly relatable topic, got me to stay for the hidden feature, got me to get lost in the edits, followed up by your clear passion and dedication for the craft. Insanely inspiring. You're going to be big if you can make content that ticks all those boxes.
What a great piece of story telling, cinematography and woodworking!
Love this project! The design is excellent 👏😌
this randomly appeared on my fyp and i don't regret even a second of watching. everything from the stand, to the editing, to the music screams masterpiece 👏👏👏
I started watching without knowing what was getting into, little did I know I would watch the entire video without moving or skipping through to the end. Great video!
Looking forward to seeing the lamp, that looks fantastic!
Beautiful work, Miles! Sending you loads of love and inspiration from me, a Swedish woman living in Norway :) I know the fight that's involved in making things in freezing weather. You're amazing and you will go far, no matter what you end up doing in life!
I recently used undermounted drawer slides like this for the first time as well. I had no idea what those metal tabs were for so I bent them out of place so my drawer would fit. I realized what they were for the first time I pulled the drawer open and was glad I didn't outright remove them. It's funny to see other talented makers similarly confused by those weird tabs like I was, haha.
I just came across your page and wow! I cant remember the last time I enjoyed a RUclips video so much. Between the furniture design, storytelling, and filmmaking it was a treat to watch. I also love woodworking and you perfectly captured how it feels when things don't go as planned and you're working against a deadline.
Just want to comment on the editing, pacing and music choice. You absolutely crushed it dude - I'm sincerely taking notes about cuts, shots and editing bits that you used. Super clear that you put a lot of effort in the editing and shows super clearly. Keep up the fantastic work my friend, its super impressive
Rereading this comment - my grammar is attrocious. Im not gonna fix it but I will acknowledge it so I dont seem a complete buffoon
I’ve been following your stuff since the 10Hun statue. I love your editing style! It’s inspiring to see you stay so busy and produce such quality furniture as well as video.
put this video on as something to absentmindedly look at while i ate but by the halfway mark i was hooked. the way you present information is so warm and friendly and your cinematography and editing made me feel like i was watching a netflix original movie that no one talks about and you wonder why because its good, actually. anyways thank you
Dude, I live in portland and experienced that ice storm! Locked in the house for a few days, and EVERYTHING took a beating. Respect for trudging through a project in the middle of that, all I did was play Hades for a few days 😂
Trying to even just get the canopy back upright RUINED my hands in that cold, I can't imagine trying to any kind of project... -5 with windchill!!!
Enjoyed everything about this video. Thank you Miles
I’ve only recently come across your content. You’re who I want to be when I grow up. And I’m 38 😂
Your design process is fun to watch and I really enjoy the aesthetic of your work. Can’t wait for the lamp video!
Haha, I had similar feelings and I’m 40. I’m sure this dude will end up being world-class most demanded designer one day. I also like those RUclips furniture makers who work from their big fully equipped workshops, but there is a special place in my heart for those young people who work from their parent’s driveways dragging tools in and out. And as someone from a country with cold winters, too, I can totally relate to the weather aspects.
genuinely SUCH a beautiful drawer. i def had the same problem, and ended up just buying a smart light to connect to my google home and setting a timer for it to turn off hahah def loving that u let the same problem allow for a chance to create art
I took a craft design and technology class for about 4 years, this video reignited that passion/ interest! Thank you! What a gorgeous nightstand!
Meeting younger guys that can do fine woodworking is such a rarity these days
Miles is my hero! I get such a kick out of the mallet cameo in every video
Gumpel is my hero! Thank you for the awesome mallet. It has served me well
Watching you build your projects in your driveway, in cold weather and your tiny shop are akin to Sisyphus and his rock. Impressive young sir. Impressive.
A mix of inspirational DIY, well crafted storytelling that kept me invested, and some beautiful filmmaking and cinematography
This is an amazing video, I can't wait to see what you do next
1:07 was actually super impressive
The cinematography 🤌🏽! Amazing project!
Another excellent project Miles! I love that you kept in the mistakes you made (removing the metal parts and dropping the drawer) I like seeing how others solve their problems because it can sometimes help me solve mine. Looking forward to the making of the light video.
Ditto for all the well deserved kudos for your craftsmanship, videography, snd everything else. You are awesome! One tip for applying the adhesive-backed veneer: just peel back the portion you want to put down first, then slowly peel away the backing as you work your way down. You may have already realized it, but I thought it was worth mentioning in case you haven’t.
Thanks for the tips and for watching!
Babe, wake up. Miles dropped another banger.
4:37 -> Note to self: Japanese barbecue sauce is a great wood glue
It took me so long to realize that myself
Can we take a moment to appreciate the amount of effort this man has put into the editing + storytelling behind these videos? HUGE thank you, this is my favorite woodworking channel by far
The shots of winter over the news audio. Looked like a professional movie man the vibes went crazy
Everything in this video is just perfectly crafted!
The video is perfectly crafted,
The story was perfectly told,
And the table is just amazing!
Pure craftsmanship 🤌🏻
I am a time traveler
NGL... your Zelda sound effects solidified my decision to subscribe to you.
That's an awesome project!!! The best thing I can recommend against cold hands are reusable pocket warmers. They can also help keep you warm in general if you stick them in your jacket.
12:45 as a college student who lives kinda far away from school i resonate with this lol
"or i'll have to come back home... again"
Wow that's awesome. While watching I was expecting that you would make a pressure sensitive spot/button where once the book is kept it would turn off the light. But still the knob thing is really cool.
There's a gift for making people smile. Thank you for sharing it.
this is exactly the kind of content that back in the day made me fall in love with youtube as a platform. thank you
i have never done anything with wood in my life and i watched this entire video and loved all of it. Great job.
Some of those shots with snow outside had real lofi beats to study to vibes. Excellent cinematography as well as the impressive build
When I was editing, I was thinking the exact same thing. Maybe it was subconscious. I used to throw on one of those lofi compilations to study back in high school! Thanks for watching
Cinematic masterpiece of a masterpiece
I’m an interior designer and i approve of edge banding and plywood. They look coolasf.
Love the ingenuity
Dang this isn't my normal type of video and this is the first thing I've ever seen by you but when it was over and I scrolled down to see only 200k subs I was shocked. Your content is actually crazy thought you had at least a million. Top notch cinematography.
Your concept art is GORGEOUS. The style is INCREDIBLE.
Now I understand why I keep seeing this video all over my feed. From the cinematic, the photography, the story telling, the process, the execution to the final product - everything is on point 👌. 10/10.
absolute insane intersection of cinematography and craftsmanship in this video, funny too, wow wow wow wow wow.
I like that you added the common, incredibly stupid, mistakes that we all make during these types of projects. It's nice to see the reality of things.
This is one of the best RUclips videos I have seen in a long time. The creativity, skill, and passion come through so masterfully. The woodworking is beautiful, and yet still pales in comparison to the artistry of the video work.
Some people just seem built for you tube and you my good sir are one of them. You're nightstand turned out incredible, but in full honesty I think your video was even better. Keep it up, you're the goat
Crazy build! Respect!!!
Very cool! It's neat how it both looks minimalistic but is also high tech.
i see -9c most winters, i couldn't imagine doing woodworking outside in that sort of weather. with the wind whipping up snow clouds too, dude... and the nightstand looks AMAZING!
beautiful cinematography
The king of the kerf!!! Such an awesome video Miles.
Thank you Cole! Looking forward to your next video
I like the shadow on the thumbnail
Loved the video. Especially the way the entire story was told. I'm seriously thinking of making this now. had an absolute blast watching this.
Looking forward to more videos ( especially the lamp ).
Your video editing skills are even better than your woodworking skills. I love all the extra sounds you add.
this is one of the coolest most wholesome things i’ve seen
Oh man I just love everything about the video from your amazing woodworking, sketching and problem solving as well as your story telling, camera work and editing. Amazing stuff!
incredibly executed on all spectrums!
Outstanding design.
that was such a satisfying video to watch. as a night reader this has definitely gave me new appritiation for my nightstand
