Your opening joke nearly killed me 🤣
I really like how that lamp shade turned out.

Hey, Nick. Thanks for stating the loop wasn't as smooth as you had hoped. I showed you the teardrop wall bar I made today; however, I also made two drum tables and I wasn't happy with how smooth those came together. It is always nice to realize my challenges aren't always unique to me. What I love about woodworking is growing - every day. It was GREAT to meet you today. Your poignant stories were so impactful and inspiring. I can't imagine how hard the prep was for the session, but you impacted the entire audience in ways you'll never imagine. I'll certainly be following you from this point forward.

"I love lamp" brilliant "Are you just saying things you see around?" 😁

That ‘little reading chair’ is my favorite, the Imola. Nice lamp too.

Nick you have some of the most wild and creative ideas when it comes to woodworking. I need a bestie in life like you. 👍 🤣

[jeremyortiz]

In my experience, I always loved how figuring out one project gives me ideas for future projects. I'm glad you mentioned that, too.

Looks great. Well done. If the “hand tool only” guys didn’t hate you over the Panto they do now. 👍

[nikkiporter]

I liked it before but this definitely improved the lamp. Love seeing the doggies too!!

As a long-time subscriber, I appreciate your commitment to avoid mediocre bullshit. Awesome lamp brother.

Putting aside all the obviously marvellous work here, that monitor setup looks solid :)

Enjoy great content over quantity every time, thanks

That shade makes all the difference. Love it!

[wharfrat]

Love this! It somehow sets the piece off in ways I can't describe! The rice paper was a great touch! Thanks for the inspiration, man, truly!

[chrisstearns]

Looks really good. That shaper origin is a very cool tool👍Quality over quantity always! That's what separates the people worth watching from everyone else. Nerds are the best to watch also👍

wow.. somehow I would have expected Bourbon Moth to be the one to express his adoration for lamps.

[VoeltnerWoodworking]

Another fantastic build. You know I appreciate the (not so) subtle humor. Lol.

[Snipr]

Whatever u do, does not seem mediocre to me, bro. Nice video again. Keep rock'n

[perssont]
