    Nick are the books you advertise, actual books or are they cds. I do not own a computer just a smart phone. Also since I have SS tools now do you use mostly use SS tools in your illustrations on projects and techniques? 7o years old and still learning. Thanks.

    Hey Nick! Been a fan of your work for decades, beginning in the early 80’s as a young Marine with little money in my pockets. Your books, articles and videos helped me infinitely throughout the years and I’m glad to see you here on Youtube!



  5. malkomalkavian on May 23, 2022 at 7:47 pm

    Bookcases and cradles 🙂 you have me, sir



  6. Jim Moore on May 23, 2022 at 7:49 pm

    It’s great to have you back Nick!



  7. Firth Fabrications on May 23, 2022 at 7:49 pm

    Wow. I can’t wait to jump into all your videos! I’m already inspired.

    I cannot believe how many of Nick’s books I own! But until I discovered his Youtube channel, it was just a another name on the books — like so many other books I have. Now, thanks to Nick’s Youtubes, he has imbued them for me with real life and personality. Whenever I pull down one of his books and look at it, it’s Nick’s voice I hear in my head. What a joy to experience!



  9. Dennis Breault on May 23, 2022 at 7:53 pm

    Welcome back, Nick!



  10. Dave McGhee on May 23, 2022 at 8:02 pm

    Glad you’re back to doing this Nick. Thanks. Where can we get plans for the infinity clock you recently showed us?



  12. John Morse on May 23, 2022 at 8:10 pm

    Hi Nick! Glad your are back. So happy to see you!



  13. Neal Eberly on May 23, 2022 at 8:10 pm

    Good to see you back Nick. I took a small seminar with you in Cleveland Ohio many years ago on using, maintaining and servicing the Shopsmith. Enjoyed it very much.



  14. Ellis Reeves on May 23, 2022 at 8:11 pm

    Been missing you Nick, glad to see you’re still at it. I’m looking forward to learning all I can from your wealth of knowledge.



  15. Mark Macauley on May 23, 2022 at 8:11 pm

    Thanks Nick 😊 Any chance that your books are still available?

  21. Michael Leonard on May 23, 2022 at 8:23 pm

    I’d love a tutorial on the hammer twirl please. thanks!



  22. H Nick Kulp on May 23, 2022 at 8:25 pm

    By any chance, are you the same Nick Engler that was the instructor for the Shopsmith Heirloom Project VHS videos ? I have several of them including the Pendulum Cradle (I’ve made at least 6 of them), The Hope Chest, Garden Swing, Bookcase, and Fundamentals, plus Sawdust Therapy. I still use them occasionally. I would love to see them in digital form.



  23. Caleb Gibbs on May 23, 2022 at 8:29 pm

    I am so happy to see you on YouTube. I was super sad when saw dust sessions stopped.



  24. Aggravated DocSurg on May 23, 2022 at 8:31 pm

    It’s great to see someone with so much passion about woodworking share his insights with us the unwashed masses of the internet! Thanks!



  25. Ronald Haynes on May 23, 2022 at 8:31 pm

    I’ve owned many of your books for a long time, and routinely use them as reference. I can attest that you know your craft inside and out. It’s good to see you sharing your knowledge not only in publications, but on YouTube as well. Good luck with it all.



  26. Philip Allard on May 23, 2022 at 8:34 pm

    I watched your saw dust sessions more than once. I look forward to your new material.



  27. Milo Trimbath on May 23, 2022 at 8:34 pm

  28. Jordan Sahlberg on May 23, 2022 at 8:35 pm

    Nick, thank you so much for what you do. I have been watching a lot of videos on woodworking on YouTube and yours are hands down the best. Its so inspiring to watch someone with so much passion and experience freely share their wealth of knowledge. My good sir, we don’t deserve you. I have been binge watching your videos and I will try to send everyone I know who is interested in woodworking to your channel. Thank you so much!



  29. My Growth Rings on May 23, 2022 at 8:39 pm
