You are turning into one of my favorite YT woodworkers. Please consider telling your story of how you came to the craft, how you trained, who influenced you, etc. I think many of us who watched you regularly would like that insight if you're willing to share it.

Thanks Steve! I’ll definitely do that at some point. Probably will work it into a build as I tried this before and i had no idea how to edit. It was super boring lol
A ryobi miter saw and a festool track saw; the duality of man. This is one of my fave channels though.
Doesn't matter the size of the chest, quilts and pillows will always end up on a chair in the room.... great build love the details
Another qualty piece of fine furniture with unique design.
Love your humor. The commentary keeps it interesting, approachable and entertaining. Keep being you.
You are absolutely a master of your tools, and you are incredibly imaginative. I have never observed the technique of moving a bandsaw mid-cut before, either.

Non-amateurs would prep the area before cutting. No matter how small the shop. "technique" hahahaha
Nice piece of ash. It’s nice to see something get made that’s not walnut. Nice work.
Nice work. A century from now no one will mistake this piece from Made in China.
Had to drop a like for the white ash joke, stuck around for the build. Great workmanship.
The build is outstanding, the detail work precise and creative. My only wish was for a matching end grain veneer on top center. But that’s just candles on the icing on the cake😊
Loves me some White Ash! Shazam! In the Rock Paper Scissors of Tree Cadaver Competition, White Ash crushes Walnuts any day. As always, Thank You -CY Castor
I doubt that I am the only one that can relate to moving the bandsaw around to make a cut in a small shop. Really like the end grain veneer.

Wonderful design and woodworking technique
Digging the details. Still catching up on your catalog of vids. Enjoying them a lot.
Excellent eye for design. I appreciate how you aren’t afraid to step away to look at your work and make changes.
I’ve watched lots of wood working channels. Mate you deserve all the best. God bless you!!! You inspire me a lot. Thank you.
Every thing except the legs to me they looked like an after thought or ad on I like the idea but something is clicking in my eyes your an amazing wood worker the chest it self is awesome
That is my favourite video thus far, beautiful cabinet, glory box or whatever you'd choose to call it, talented 😀
I’ve always loved my banana hammock but now I feel a huge hole that can only be filled with a banana box. Beautiful pillow dungeon really!
All I can say is wow! I really like how the curve of the legs and middle design compliments each other. Another piece of art. You really get me thinking out of the box. Great video! Your one of a kind!

You definitely should have many more subscribers, you're truly an artist! Great job on flaring "a box" build.
I love working with Ash, plus easy on the wallet in the northwest. Turned out great, attention to detail is top notch.
Beautiful. Thanks for telling why youake the decisions that you do with each part.
Awesome design and contrast in your wood choices👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Nice ash you got there, oh and the box is great too
Came for the wood, stayed for the wood and the music.
No one is better at the little details then you are love the cherry inlay can’t wait for the video 5 years from now where you revisit old projects and we get to see how the cherry changed lol

Very, very nice. I especially appreciate your comments as you go along; brings the build to life. Ash is an underrated wood; what you did was to (hopefully) give the anti-ash folks something to think about.
Definitely an artist and a craftsman.

Excellent! Balanced movement in the design really brings this piece to life. The mass that the legs bring to the work underscores the heirloom nature and longevity of the work. Wonderful work!!
Ash is useful for more than just baseball bats. Great execution, dude. I imagine you could overcomplicate making a set of toy wooden blocks, but then again, I'd still watch and thumbs-up that vid. Since you asked: I'd have made the leg supports curve up and out (essentially flipping them upside down), and have the lid extend over those edges... just me.

Ok even if i don’t like ash …. You made some desings that is very attractive and takes your eyes off the wood and more on the looks 👍🏼👏 Oh and nice toutch with the walnut 😜🇨🇦❤️
Hi. It took me a while to get to this video. First... Really awesome. I love the commentary. I love the running thought on how can you improve what has already been done a thousand times. Now I understand which comment you asked about... "Love for my White Ash..." I thought that was a somewhat clever and funny play on woods... words. Thank you for your craft. Great job.
Great build, as usual! I love to watch the dovetailing and planing.

Hey much appreciated MC!
Very nice. Different from the usual blanket chests. I have a blanket chest but it is made of walnut with woodland scenes hand carved into the tops and sides and it is lined with cedar. I keep things like my wedding dress and antique linens and wools in it.
Wow. I wonder what kind of home can accept this piece. Definitely impressive
You have some awesome skills!! WOW.. This is beautiful!!
Amazing build, I would never think to come up with anything like this. The straight inlays to bring out "more" of the curved legs was a brilliant addition and ties it all together. Keep up the great work!

Great build as usual, my only comment would be, I thought a nice piece of darker timber on top of the legs to bring them up to the same level as the lid and just finish it that bit more. But thats just me.
What a great piece

Ash is so beautiful. This project is beautiful too. This box reminds me of a fancier modern version of a sea chest I saw in a recent woodworking magazine . Fall 2021 Woodworkers Journal, I think.

I love ash! And beech!
Great design work as always
While walnut is absolutely beautiful, using it in a project like this would overpower the design. In my opinion. Ash is a good choice.
Insane. Love the lines.
Cool design. I like the end grain accent as well as the matching accent on the lid.
Wow, beautifully designed chest, Nick~! I really like the idea of using Cherry for the accents because like you said, it will darken with time and really stand out. Don't pay attention to the others asking for Walnut....I dig your White Ash~!! ;-)
I love ash and I think it's going to be more special with time thanks to the beetles destroying massive amounts of it.
Great work, My only critique would be that you could have added a little bit more curve the the end pieces or swoopy leg. Thanks for showing your work
Beautiful work!
I actually love that you try to reuse the material. Great example! Thanks :) And as always great built! Goes without sayin :D
If you can keep up regular content like this, this channel will blow up. Excellent video, sir.
I'm a fan of Ash, it's beautiful wood. I enjoyed your puns and the chest is gorgeous. I truly enjoy your work.

Crushed it as usual. I work with ash in some way on almost every project I build. I love using it. Good to hear the feedback on the q5. It’s been in my shopping cart for a year now. I need an upgrade from the earlex I’m using, just havnt taken that plunge yet. -Ben

banana tray! 🙂You innuendo is so entertaining!
Nice job! I really like how you challenge yourself to improve with every project! It’s cool taking a peek into your design process... thinking outside the box to make this chest more than just a box!
Awesome build, you have a great eye for design! Get yourself a 3M PPS cup kit for the spray gun, you'll find it is a huge improvement over the stock cup.
Great piece
Awesome stuff, man. Love your designs and your attention to detail. Best craftsman on KZread, no question!
