The Tools & Equipment I use- kit.co/nickpedulla
I figured it was about time I introduced myself. This is my first time talking to the camera so bear with me. It’s going to take a bit more practice until I feel more comfortable in front of the camera.
This Hall Table is made from Walnut and Brass.
The sliding dovetails were certainly a time-consuming part of the build but a necessary step with a design such as this one.
It’s important to note that the legs were also bolted onto the dovetailed frame to ensure its stability. The dovetails alone are not enough to secure the legs. The front bolt (shown at the end of the video) is screwed into the threaded insert located at the front of the leg. There is another bolt and threaded insert positioned at the back of the leg and frame. The hole in the frame has been elongated to help with expansion and contraction.
It may look like there is a lot of wasted material in this piece, but each off cut has been saved and either used as a new section in this hall table or has been set aside for future projects.
I’ve glued the brass shadow line to the walnut top with a simple construction adhesive that specifically bonds wood and metals. This adhesive will allow some movement of the wood while also keeping a good bond to the brass. I used epoxy to glue the brass handle to the drawer fronts.
Ive sprayed the Brass with spray on lacquer.
Standard Questions-
- What glue do I use? Titebond 3
- What finish do I use? Osmo Oil satin

You're doing unique and amazing things on the platform, as with woodworking! Love the explainer at the end, it would be great to get descriptions of your notable builds in this format. It makes the build just that much more meaningful and helps your newer woodworking audience understand why you did things the way you did.

I grew up in a cabinet-making environment myself, and am just starting my own woodshop in my early 40s as a hobby shop. Your work is inspiring, and your video skills are on point. They clearly communicate many of the design decisions you make in your projects. The ends/legs with the grain matching had me questioning the strength of the piece, until you cut the dovetails. When you cut the matching pieces, it all made sense. You found your calling in life early, and the work you do is stunning. Thank you for introducing yourself. It's nice to meet the artist behind pieces that will be handed down through generations.
I follow 50+ woodworkers on KZread (literally it’s an obsession), and this may be the most beautiful piece of furniture I have ever seen built. Unbelievable attention to detail. And the video editing to match. 🙌🏻 amazing, amazing, amazing!

Yeap same opinion here. It tops the attention to detail of Keith Johnson and the design is better thought through than Sawyer design. And video is all about the work process in detail as if we are right next to him in the workshop just like Kobeomusk.

Man, you are so talented! Truly love watching these builds. Glad you’re sharing more detail about the build too. Like to see more of this. Keep up the amazing work!
Just wow, the whole build ! But I love the drawer face design and the jigs you used . Amazing mate, well done 👍🏼
The quality of your work and the production is amazing. Love the lighting and simplicity of how you show what you are about to do without needing to explain it with words. Keep it up. Your work is amazing and it is a level I would aspire to get to.
A labor of love for sure. Awesome piece! Always inspiring to see people do what they love.
You're welcome! Honestly, your work has been one of the things getting me back into the shop after my dad passed away. He was the one who got me into woodworking, and it was very difficult last year finding any motivation to work on projects. Watching your excellent builds made me remember the feeling of joy I had and inspired me to keep my passion alive. One day I'll make as beautiful furniture as you! Cheers!

Absolutely beautiful work. Thank you for explaining about the dovetails. I really learn a lot when a craftsman explains why they do certain things.
The journey you took us on with the build of that exquisit table was truely inspiring, your level of craftsmanship and finish is something of beauty great work and cant wait for the next episode.
Absolutely stunning! Loved the attention to details in every part of the build and the dovetails need no explaining. Great work!
I've never seen anything like this. You are a true master and artist. Mind = blown
You are an artist with the gift of humility. In a time where so many want to be recognized for far less than mastery of their chosen craft is refreshing. For me, that's what makes your videos a joy to watch.
This is stunning. I’m just blown away by your work and these films. They’re cathartic. Thanks so much!! 🤩🤩🤩
This table is remarkably stunning. I love the attention to all of the small details you put into your project.
Outstanding work-well done! Also, your shop is most wood workers’ dream!

SO nice to see the methods of setting up the thicker pieces to begin the carving process details! That angled piece in the middle of the legs glued in place first , provide a perfect reference for the carving in from the sides! Plus something as simple as the big stop block to keep from carving past the line. Love this video so much! Thanks for sharing
Nick, thank you for the beauty you bring into the world. I can't honestly tell you that I have never even driven a nail into a piece of wood, let alone made a piece of furniture but what I can tell you is I know art when I see it and I know an artisan of the highest order when I see one. Your work is stellar. I follow a lot of woodworking channels on KZread and I'm absolutely confident that you rank at the very pinnacle, both in the craftsmanship and the design and beauty of your pieces. The thoughtfulness that you must bring to your work is incredible. I appreciate you very much.

You are an extraordinary talent! I look forward to many years of watching you build masterpieces!

Without question your craftsmanship is by far the best I've seen on KZread. Your attention to detail is exceptional. And your obvious appreciation for elegance is definitely worthy of praise. That being said, I look forward to the day when I can purchase a custom table from you.
Your work is really beautiful and inspiring! The way you make and edit your videos is as professional as you wood work, I haven't seen anything better on KZread, ever! Thank you mate!
Now that I have heard you speak I think I am right to intuit that you don't actually have a clue how good you are - your furniture will become insanely valuable in the years to come!! I appreciate your humility, but don't let this get in the way of getting your fare share. From now on think of a sale figure and double it, at least!! Your wealthy clients will just love you all the more. At the end of the day it will be their offspring and their offspring's offspring, infinitum, who will be the real winners and they won't know you or your offspring from Adam! Your pieces will become the heirlooms of kings and queens. Have faith - your KZread audience has spoken!!
Nick great work. I have been wood working for over 40 years and I must say I have learned from you. You have some Ideas I would like to use. It is rare to find new Ideas in the furniture making craft. Most new ideas are tools to make the work easier but you have added some design Ideas that I hope use in future project. I can see you love your work and it is beautiful thanks for your example. Dave H. USA

Mark Coverdale, my journey to a workshop and a passion for fine woodworking begins soon as I end my medical career. I only wish I could make the exquisite furniture that Nick produces with the attention to detail ,design ,functional joinery and organic shapes but with a refined simplicity. Absolutely mind blowing work that shows the real beauty of the wood. I hope our planet can keep producing the craftsmen like Nick and the material timber to showcase nature to its finest. A masterpiece of beauty and functional grace.

What an amazing piece of art....the design of your pieces and the construction details are opening my mind to a new way of interpreting woodworking. My most sincere congratulations for your work.
Thank you for sharing your builds. It is an absolute pleasure watching them. Thank you and please don’t stop 🙂
After watching months, if not years, worth of woodworking, I have never seen such amazing work… And really loved the videography - could not believe how quick the “long” video was over. Also, really loved your commentary at the end which just made the entire project so much more personal. Thank you SO much for the time, effort and love put into this passion of yours. I will be watching much more, have subscribed, and one day, I will aim to be able to order a piece from you. Wow, thank you again! Best regards, Christo
I just found your video and to say the least you are a pure joy to watch. Your editing and content is spot on. The music truly compliments your work. You make the finest furniture I have ever seen. And I watch a awful lot of wood working. What a master woodworker you are. Thank you.
Nick. This is the first time I see your face and is great to finally have an idea of who is behind those amazing masterpieces. I really admire your work and I hope, one day, to follow your example. Great job!
Wow watching you sculpting this desk is just giving me goose bumps. Just amazing. Thank you
Thank you for sharing videos. So many times I found myself using neither beautiful nor responding to my needs desks. This desk is beautiful, so elegant. I love it!
So glad I found your channel. Incredible work, not just on the furniture but also on your videos. Just can't say enough.
You have an incredible gift. The attention to detail and design are truly inspiring. To be able to create pieces that come alive is a rarity. To possess such an item a dream. Thank you for sharing your life’s journey.
That piece is just unbelievably gorgeous I really like how you show some of the jigs you use again you are an amazing craftsman keep up the great work thanks again Ralph
Much respect to you Nick. Thanks for introducing yourself.
your work and your videos make it possible to transmit the passion for exceptional wooden furniture. Thanks
You have all the technical skills, you have all the best machinery and other tools but what amazes me most is your sense of design: so subtle and tasteful. The whole package! Beautiful work.
That table is truly a masterpiece. For my taste it is absolutely beautiful. It is a work of art that may be regarded as a classic for hundreds of years to come. Nice to see and listen to the master himself.
Your craftsmanship is nothing short of amazing. The design made the furniture look elegant and refine. The work is truly something to be proud of and should be displayed to the public. Do not be shy because you are a high value person.
Oh my gosh this is truly a beautiful work of art. The beauty of the dove-tails joints are truly the mark of a master carpenter!
Your work is always so incredible. It was awesome seeing you talk in front of the camera. The explanations on the joinery methods you used is a HUGE help for us newer woodworkers. The sliding dovetails to help stiffen that thinner leg area and also prevent cupping... I was saying "Holy $H!T that is brilliant."
I for one would definitely love to hear more from you about your builds, why you are doing what you are doing, etc. The whole time I was wondering "why is he doing the dovetails like that..." then you explained it, it made so much sense. Would love to see more of this!
You designs are really great. I love it. The minimalistic design but with the accents of copper or gold leaf makes it truly fantastic. Well done
Nick your work is absolutely second to none. I don't know how this build slipped through my fingers until now but it's absolutely beautiful! You have amazing vision excusit execution.
I’m thrilled that I came across an artist like yourself. I can tell you are the best KZread channel that I follow & really inspiring my amateur journey in woodworking! Keep doing the gods work.. more power to you.
Wow, it is again a beautiful piece of furniture. The design and construction is intricate. A master craftsman

That was incredibly impressive, you are creating art and an imagination like the pulls you built, I’m so in awe from watching you carefully and accurately create that beautiful table! To have talent like that I’m sure didn’t come easy but some of it is a gift! By the way, the music was awesome, love that kind of music.

You are a true artist! Don't be shy, stand in your power! Thanks for sharing your work!
Absolutely stunning piece, beautiful creativity and craftsmanship. incredible job finishing this piece of art bringing the wood grain alive. Absolutely gorgeous!
Your work is a true inspiration. I finished a carpentry education when i was 18 (28 now) and did quite some different things after that, but i did get the oldschool way of woodworking taught. Lately i’ve been thinking about starting my own works when i finish building my garage. So what i’m trying to say is that the way you treat your projects is something i one day want to be ablo to do to. With passion, patience, safety and joy!
