Give this man a woodworking show for crying out loud!!!

[skle]

It brings me great joy knowing that that's his ACTUAL laugh.

[TorTor]

Nick laughing at his own piano joke and how far it went over the hosts head xD

[bwlove]

"I worry what you just heard was 'give me a lot of oak and cherry'. What I said was, 'give me all the oak and cherry you have.'"

[jomjom]

Ron's wood shop is finally up to code! lol

[topgazza]

Nick makes his jokes and watches the humourless host not react as he doesn't get them. You can see where Ron Swanson comes from. But its a real pleasure to see Nick as he is and so engrossed and passionate about woodworking. Top man

[Bacoprah]

"the less electricity you can use - the more pleasurable your woodworking will be" Wise words for sure!

[zachjacobs]

“Go to your local lumber yard, find someone and talk to them about their wood” 😂😂😂

[aravindtlp]

He missed the piano joke! Listen man!!

[arenawoodworks]

Nick, thank you for those few carefully chosen words that resemble the joy and calmness of woodworking.

[TrevorVaubel]

Kevin needs a sense of humor, so many dry jokes that go right over his head. Lol

[farpastfreedom]

7:46 Mr. Offerman lets Ron Swanson out. Looks at the camera, gives a classic eye raise to say "Where did you get this guy?" Haha! The piano and hakuna matata jokes are gold!

[Styder]

Listening to Nick talk about woodworking is like reading poetry

[curtismmichaels]

I love how Nick looked up from time to time to see if his jokes were landing. The man is one of a kind.

[steelfox]

I want Nick Offerman to read and narrate everything.

[robins]

I love how Nick Offerman can keep a totally straight face while delivering such dry, pithy humor. Plus his advice was helpful for a beginner. A good reminder to keep it simple and not bite off more than you can chew. I would LOVE to make one of those giant slab tables, but I know that's way too ambitious at this point. I've learned a lot just making little projects like a bookshelf from pine planks (FYI, 12 inch pine from HD that's not totally dry will cup a *lot*. That's how I learned to use a hand planer lol.). I can always see the flaws in anything I make, but it's still more solid and unique than a piece of particle board stuff from IKEA, and hey, even if it's not perfect it does its job of holding books just fine:)

[zoeymaggie]

aww Nick is so adorable, and he was making jokes, but the guy missed them :( comedy gold right in front of you man

[MrLukeviolin]

He always expresses how wonderful woodworking is in a way i never could. Almost makes me cry

[CoolestThing]

SO great! Love that Nick spends time teaching his passion and obviously loves what he does. Great intro to woodworking. I would take his course in a second!

[chriskelvin]

This gentleman is a delight to hear and see explain stuff.
