    Just last week I was talking with a friend that you used to make such great videos and such a shame it was that you stopped uploading and today you post a new project! Keep it up mate, you have amazing skills, both as a woodworker and as a video maker.
  • @charleychristenson4432
    I need to stop watching your videos on my mobile in bed. While they're very restful, they're also very inspirational and i have to resist getting up in the middle of the night to try something I saw. Love your work.

    Man I was just thinking about Adrian's videos the other day and rewatched a couple and then boom here he is. Amazing as always
  • @Marq91F
    This is one of the most beautiful builds I've seen in a looooonh time
  • @masroor
    Thank you for taking the time to show how to install hinges to a newbie woodworker. It is surprisingly hard to get everything aligned in 3d space with small tolerances. Of course, the box itself is amazing as well!
  • @morganhurst_redridge
    I've never thought of attaching a panel the way you did for the top, that's such an interesting style and I really like the look of it!
  • @ToolsandTime
    What a fantastic project, and what craftsmanship!
  • @quakerblacksmith1818
    I've been wanting to comment on your videos for a long time and have not been quite sure what to say. I very much appreciate your craftsmanship, attention to detail, and clear enjoyment of the process. You bring this same level of skill to the video production as well and that allows us to share the journey in a pleasant and relaxing way.

    Great looking piece, Adrien. Your shop is looking pretty good, too. Wish you could post more.
  • @rollingstone3017
    That sunburst is so cool looking!! And it's not veneered. Beautiful project. I may have to try that lid.
  • @CalvinJ82
