Please never abandon the philosophical narration in your videos. I see people complain about it in the comments, but your narration feels like the inner thoughts you have while building which is so refreshing and easily one of the most enjoyable aspects to the videos. I think it makes you stand out from the others and would hate to see it go
100% agree
Exactly.

@@JayAbel not sure Chris’s personality is much like Hemingway, but his writing is iceberg theory esque

Your thoughts on woodworking as a hobby perfectly encapsulates how I feel about my own sucky hobby: sewing. it's tedious and annoying, sometimes incredibly frustrating when things don't fit, and I've pricked myself with pins and needles more times than I can count. Just about every project, I say some variation of "why did I make this my hobby, I never want to sew anything ever again." But the end result of "I made that!" is just so satisfying, I could never actually give it up!
I could imagine it's pretty similar from that point of view.
Its exactly how i look at painting or model making, i approximate for me there is about 80-90% tedious, grueling, unplesant, muscle straining work...and then there is the rest that i live for, the beginning and end.
I haaaaaate the endless amounts of pinning (especially as I too often use four pins per inch for 200+ inches) good to know woodworking is wonderful sucking steps 😅
@@RachelAnnPotterusing sewing clips instead of pins honestly was life changing for me!
@Rosina the clips are, indeed, a gift from the gods. My problem is I'm too much of a perfectionist and the clips don't give me nearly enough control as 4 pins per inch does 😅
The type of fun you are describing is called "Type Two" fun. "when a task is difficult at the time, but feels rewarding afterward, often because it challenges the practitioner to test their limits and grow." I just learned this a few years ago, and it totally helped clarify the experience.
I never knew this had a name, growing up interacting with the art community we always say "you love it if you're willing to endure pain to do it"
And a hobby is whatever you love doing
what are you? a Real Sweet Kid or something?
Yes, his description struck me as what a coder might say, but also, the world of work that requires problem solving or it wont get done correctly.
Oh man, as a gamer and amateur coder....yes. Never heard of the concept of type 2 fun, but it's the fun I enjoy the most.
And you finally helped me figure out how to explain why I love survival minecraft over creative minecraft to my kiddo XD that struggle and effort makes it feel more rewarding. As well as all the substitutions you have to make because world generation hates you....
Same thing when I coded web pages in high-school. I read every resource I could as well as inspected webpage coding as often as I could.
Been considering trying to program apps for mobile, as I keep struggling to find apps that fit what I need them to do.... and as much as I like ftp games, I'd love to take a stab at developing an app that can make a bit of money without ads. My problem is I want to do it all myself so I have the resources to draw from for the next project, or the experience to make what I need to avoid copyright issues....plus all the learning is fun!
@@kjellerup11I’m with you
The one thing I love about your videos is:
Storytelling.
You somehow take creating a piece of furniture to a packing, actually engaging story that you want to watch until the end, with setup and payoff and everything. Love your videos, man!
Thank you so much. I appreciate that. It’s something I definitely try to do. Not always successfully. But sometimes you get lucky. 😊
@@Foureyes.Furniture Your voice is also so stunning! It's very relaxing hearing it. Maybe one day you could voice in audiobooks lol.
I'm a graphic designer and so much of what you describe referring to woodworking makes sense in graphic design. The feeling of "this sucks" when designing some ad vs. the satisfaction of seeing something you're proud of, the concept of "if it's done don't fix it", and in general - striving to do better each time.
This video gave me a lot of inspiration to revisit my old designs and see how I'd make them today.
Thank you so much for making high quality content ♥
I worked as a graphic designer prior to going full-time with this...so I hear ya.
Indeed, working on developing my first polished type family for my senior project. So many tedious details suck to work on (spacing in particular has driven me partially mad especially since I have 10 variants of the font). Yet so far it’s one of the projects I am most proud of.
That seems like an impossible task. I've never found a font where I don't end up manually kerning if I care about the look at all. But I guess you need to get people like 98% of the way there...and 99.9999% of people will never kern. So you need to get them all the way there.
@@Foureyes.Furniture yeah thats the goal, to make it invisible to the average person. The hard aspect is not all programs support built in kerning and ligatures so you have to space well enough that it looks good without those features and then kern so it looks as it was intended when those features are enabled. Its a little dizzying, but its been a great learning experience.
Omg yes!!! It's all "What am I doing? This is horrible. How do I even begin to fix it??" But when you've gone through multiple versions and FINALLY figure it out, the satisfaction is unparalleled.
Great job, I'm a mechanical engineer I spent all my working life with steel, cast iron and bronze. At home I enjoyed carpentry as wood is a divine medium to work with and much more forgiving. Typically at work our tolerances were anywhere from -/+ 0.003" to 0.0003", I know ridiculous, but we were good at it. At home I could always change things if I did have the odd hiccup with wood. I really enjoy watching people that are real and honest, like you, when working. Thanks for posting ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Imperial measurements are such an eyesore to look at typed out wow
@@theowainwright7406 when you work with both in machining you learn quickly that which one you use doesn't really matter as they are all just numbers and nowadays most shops use digital measuring tools anyways. but I 100% agree with everyone that when it comes to converting metric is the champ.
when giving people estimates do you end with +/- xD I'm a machinist and I do it all the time.
@@TheTrexable LoL 😂😆😂
@@theowainwright7406 I agree, metric looks much nearer on drawings. My apprenticeship started in 1971 so I got to use both imperial and metric, which I found really handy when doing work for the UK/US in imperial and mainland Europe in metric. I became bilingual 😉, being able to transpose between the two mostly in my head. Slowly the UK began to use metric more and more.
I make stained glass (as in windows and monumental projects, not suncatchers or jewelry) and the whole relationship with the craft and the "favourite process dilemma" hits so close to heart that I even dare to say I've never felt so heard
I've watched quite a few of your videos and I always learn something while at the same time being entertained by your humor and insight into the human part. This video went beyond all that. Thank you for letting me know it's okay to let certain things slide as long as you are doing your absolute best to make something as good as you possibly can. Excellence trumps everything else in woodworking.
Real art is taking something very simple and turn it into something unexpected beautiful.....the perfect description for that piece of furniture
Wow...appreciate that. Thank you :)
it's truly an art piece. one of the most beautiful furniture I have ever seen, despite not liking black on wood.
@@sangarios i cant wiat to make my own coffe table from Chris' plans and have a foureyes coffetable book of all his best pieces
Another amazing and beautiful build. Congrats on making it
Thank you very much!
4:04 I just wanted to say, I actually have heard of the word chatoyance before But I’m used to it being Called chatoyancy so it took a bit for it to click
Your videos are like wellness treatments for woodworker‘s ears & eyes! So satisfying and motivating to watch. Plus: It‘s just nice to have at least one channel where you don‘t get yelled at all the time!
The Bob Ross of Woodworking
I love your comments about what sucks about doing this. I write DIY woodworking articles for a pretty well-known pub, and I'm constantly kicking myself for finishing a project in order to get the article done, rather than making the project the best it can be. And I'm new to TH-cam videos, but I can already feel myself doing the same thing in this medium.
Thanks for the advice and the great video!
Dang, I’ve watched a ton of your videos but this one was next level. It was the perfect mix of product highlight/review, humor, keeping it real and extra crispy footage. You took it a step further with added insight and perspective on the hobby we love. Great job and beautiful piece. I feel like this project used almost every skill of woodworking.
I’ve watched your channel for quite a few years now and look forward to every video. And they seem to keep getting better. Beautiful designs and great execution. Nice work
Wow, thank you!
I completely forgot that I am watching this in a desk that I made myself. It's a really nice table for me and when I have guests, this is one that they can't believe I made it myself. The last part of the video reminds me the joy of having a piece you made yourself. The imperfections are obvious point of improvements in the future, and a free critism. And you will enjoy all the subtle details you made.
Chris, your commentary peppered with humor is quite enjoyable. Your furniture is outstanding and a pleasure to view the manufacturing on your channel. Enjoy!
Thank you so much :)
I really love this design. Way more than the original one. Mostly because of the tilt of the sides, the fact the live edge is on the top of the drawers acting as pulls and the colour of the slab. Very well done!
Thank you...I agree. I feel like this was an improvement in every way
@@Foureyes.Furniture Is this getting plans?
Absolutely love this design!!
Iv been waiting for the right project I can actually use from your catalogue & this ticks all the boxes
Functional art :)
I think you perfectly described what I was trying to tell a buddy of mine the other day… woodworking is like the intersection between highly stressful and satisfaction of accomplishment. EVERY step kinda just… sucks. But seeing the finished project, hearing words of affirmation from friends and family, and getting to enjoy that piece for years to come is the ultimate satisfaction for me. Thanks so much for the great video!
Honestly I think it comes with the territory of making things. I saw the quote once
"It's hell writing and it's hell not writing. The only tolerable state is having just written."
which really resonated with me.
i must say its really good you added the safety tips in at 26:00, on camera it looks a lot smoother than it can be when you do it yourself. especially when your new to woodworking.
I get so excited seeing a new four eyes video! you guys inspire me so much. thanks for the content!
Appreciate that...hope this one does the trick :)
i really experience the "this sucks" at every step of woodworking lol, any craft for that matter, filming, editing, etc. the enjoyable part really is the sense of accomplishment when you've completed it all, and admiration at the result of all the suckiness.
this piece looks SO good.
Man this part rang so true!
I don't feel this way at all when I use handtools. The finished product isn't the goal for me. The process is the fun part. Handplaning is fun and satisfying. So is chiseling. And using pokeshaves. Draw knives. Files and rasps. When a machine does the work for you, it's tedious. When you have to really pay attention to the wood, it's fun. You have to listen and feel to make sure your tools are sharp and the wood grain is facing the right direction. It's maybe a little slower than using machines (not always), but it's a hell of a lot more fun. Oh, and the bonus is that you don't have to wear earplugs and dust masks nearly as often.
Iding feel they way either when I draw. Sometimes I like the sketch more than the final product. The process of art can be so much more enjoyable then the finished piece
The photos Dalure took are beautiful and, _to me,_ show that this is a durable pen made *by* a professional, *for* professionals. At least, that's how I interpreted them. And, of course, your cabinet is as close to flawless as something could get, in my world. It has everything I love and look for in pieces to put in my home. If I wasn't completely broke, this is something I'd really would've wanted. But who knows, I might get lucky on one of my dumpster-dives or thrift shop hauls and find something that has the overall look, but only needs some small refinements. In that case, I'll probably loan parts of your beautiful design.
What great videos you produce. You have a timing thing that others dont that keep the scenes flowing from start to end . Oh Yeah, were not stuck listening to you shout as a table saw spools up. Your audio is the cleanest and your always explaining whats going on, what to do and even what not to do. Theres a lot of quality content here. Youre just as much a craftsman at video editing/ producing, writing and Teaching as you are with wood. It is pleasant to watch your videos, Nothing harsh or overdone, just enjoyable content.
The camera work on this video was amazing. The focus pulling etc, just delightful. Oh and the cabinet looks pretty slick as well.
It's like taking a philosophy class in a workshop. Excellent and inspiring as always!
Hahaha yes :) And he's good - his interpretation of a slab versus a board was very insightful. And I do that stuff for a living. I'd hire him as a data modeller/information analyst any day of the week.
Just found your channel. As an amateur woodworker, your commentary and attention to detail is awesome. Even though most of these projects are out of my range, I'm able to take bits and pieces I can apply to my projects. Thanks for your sincerity and I'm looking forward to binge watching the rest of your content.
This is exceptional. Your thoughtful choice of details really shows. The extra steps you take are allowed the space they need to be impactful and shine through instead of getting lost in a sea of intricacy. We really get to see what you value in your creations.
It feels powerful and understated. It elegant by not in a showy way. Top marks. I’m sure you know this but ppl aspire to have a home filled with things made so wonderfully.
A beautiful piece of art. ❤ btw the photographer is brilliant in capturing the up close moments
100%. I’m giving my camera man a raise.
Hey somehow this is the first one of your videos I've ever seen - your work (both the wood AND the videography) is incredible! I love how cinematic this was. Keep it up with the high quality content and I'll be here whenever it comes!
Such a good design choice to put the live edge up top. As I've commented a few times now, you really have an eye for how to use the material to its advantage, and that is sooo satisfying to see.
Also, thanks for bringing up router table safety. Story time!
I did an internship (as part of my woodworking education) at a local wood shop, and they had a new employee that started just a few days before me. About a week into my internship, I was walking by as he was routing a pretty deep profile in some oak pieces. Keep in mind that this was a big, industrial size router table, with those huge cutters that sound a bit like an airplane taking off. I look towards him and see that he jerks his arms away from the machine, and at the same time I feel a gust of wind by my right arm, followed by three rapid bangs behind me. The oak piece (estimated from memory, somewhere around 1000x50x50mm) had flown past me, gone clean through a 25mm (1/2") MDF sheet and an OSB clad wall where it hit a huge cast iron veneer press and stopped after leaving a not insignificant dent. Had I been a step further to my right, I would have had a square hole in my abdomen. Never walk behind running machines kids.
For the record, this guy claimed to have had the same sort of education as me, but he had clearly forgot the part where we were taught how to use a router table. A few weeks after I left, he had another similar accident, despite being thoroughly shown how to use the machine, and he lost his job. Which is a good sight better than a limb, or a coworkers life.
I love your video, not only for the result, but also because you made those 3D reference and sketch which not many TH-camr / furniture maker do. That (not so) simple add on really made the difference, and I really appreciate it. Thank you.
I love the designs y'all come up with, when I get my workshop built out in my garage over the summer it's my goal to attempt making some pieces like these :D
Also... pro-tip for the Blum undermounts and determining the size of your drawer boxes. Install the slides first, then measure the distance across from the outer edges of the extension rails that the box will sit on. Simple 🤪
Love this book! th-cam.com/users/postUgkxpCNxqmAkyjN6NPx1fyB7QiEFWyO5mUWL it is simply one-of-a-kind! I really love it, because karah explained all tools required to have the job done, not mentioning the fabulous diy pallets ideas. I'm pretty sure this will be a fresh start in my new endeavour. Amazon was great, they delivered on time. Thank you!
Greetings from Tasmania! I'm glad youtube suggested this video to me, I love your amazing design, fastidious attention to detail and your voiceover. Blackwood here is used in a lot of high end furniture, along with Huon pine and other specialty woods like sassafrass and myrtle
that part where you talked about doing the best that you can and not just pump more low quality video is really true. I ended up watching the entire video from start to finish in one go and that rarely happens these days. Impressive work both on the furniture and the video
I like watching woodworking videos to get ideas and advise for my own projects and this one is one of the best so far. I don't have the skill to make anything like this yet, but watching you make something this beautiful with fairly basic tools is just inspirational. Looking forward to your next project.
These videos are my favorite to watch while I work...I do Visual Effects, and having your vids on while I work is soothing and inspiring.......I feel I'm in a very similar art field in just what you mentioned in this video: VFX work is kind of boring, it takes a lot focused time and effort and brain power, and much of it is unenjoyable --- but in the end it's what I do, and the satisfaction of a finished piece of work is so damn satisfying
Animator here, agreed! Keep at it!
Absolutely improved the design. Congrats! I appreciate all the insights into woodworking and life. Such a great video!
Thank you very much!
Wow, just wow. Love the new detailed format, love the narrative, love the honesty and the always underlying passion for woodworking. Please keep doing what you're doing, just the way you're doing it. And thanks!
I've seen quite a lot of woodworking videos, but the way you're narrating everything is quite captivating, I usually have TH-cam running on my 2nd screen, but found myself following the video more than what I was actually doing, nice ^^ It's a beautiful piece.
_✨ C H A T O Y A N C Y ✨_
lol yes!!
“It’s what I do”, and you do it very well. Thanks for paying attention to the details, it seals the deal.
After Years of using TH-cam this is the first channel I am absolutely compelled to subscribe to. Phenomenal effort. Absolutely stunning work and intelligent edit
That's the most ADHD wood making video I've ever seen and I'm not even 3 min in...
Maybe im annoying and everyone will hate me for this comment. But I wanna see more stuff with some LED inlays.
I love the way you include your drafting plans to allow us to visual see where you are going with every cut you make. Also, I have been a woodworker for over 20 years and clamps on my wood to help navigate the piece on my router table will be the most important woodworking trick I ever learned from you tube! 🤣
After having binged through whole German woodworking TH-cam for the last year or so, I'm so happy to finally having arrived at your channel. Your builds are supreme quality, this is absolutely insane, your designs are so stunning! But what I really love about your videos is your calm and relatable storytelling. I've seen only a few of your videos until now, but you jumped immediately into my top 3 favourite channels.
Best of wishes from a humble woodworker in Germany, who will for sure build the Glenn chair in the future. I'm not quite there jet, but this is not a race after all 😊
You are only having children to avoid going to a senior center when you get old?
I'm glad someone else thought this! Wanting someone to take care of you when you're old is a really bad reason to have kids. I actually have a lot of fun playing with my son and don't see it as something unpleasant to endure so that I won't be alone when I die.
The video is great but this bit refrained me from liking it 😢
Right?! Yeah I had kids so they can spoon feed me oat meal and change my depends when I’m old
Your channel is the best. Inspirational.
Not only is it educational and entertaining, but, unlike some other channels, it's enjoyable to watch due to the thoughtful visual aids, camera angles, and editing. Your insightful voice-overs and minimized machining noises set your channel apart because no one should need eat protection while watching TH-cam.
I tell ya. I'll never be a woodworker just being realistic. The reason I watch and enjoy your videos (that you should be very proud of btw) is not so much about the woodwork for me, but the *story* you tell. That's what keeps the non woodworkers coming back. Yes we learn stuff we'll never use but we enjoy it and the process of taking the wood and making it into something fabulous. Cheers from Toronto
one of your best to date. videowise, cabinetwise, voiceoverwise. the way the ad was just integrated. so much respect for this channel.
Wow, Chris. These videos keep getting better and better. So impressed by your progress and development, and by your builds.
Well Chris, most likely this comment will get lost in the thousands, but TH-cam just brought me to your videos, and I am enjoying them immensely. I love what you're doing, and your narration, you have a lovely voice and way with this. Thanks.
One of the things I really appreciate about your videos is that you show drawinbs of what you are doing at the time. So few woodworkers do that and it is sometimes hard to follow just what they are making or what piece they are working on. Like the narration also.
I clicked this video, saw it was 30 min, and said to myself no shot I’m sticking around for that long. 30 min later here I am leaving a comment about how great this video was. 👍
Haha. Glad you saw it through and enjoyed.
Your videos are the best. My favourite woodworking channel by far. The rambling, the info, the CAD/drawings/animations, its all so informative and entertaining. Keep up the amazing work.
You are so fun to listen to and these videos are just amazing to watch as are the finished products. Magnificent.
I've been watching these Foureyes Furniture videos for the last fews days and they are simply awesome. I just bought my first few tools to begin my woodworking journey and these guys are really insipring.
wow! Just wow, im speechless. From your craftsmen work to your editing, just know I found your channel before you reached 1 million subscribers. Way to go and I can't wait to see what you continue to make!
The furniture is amazing, but this video OMG, the overall footage and production, all the design and drawing details on each explanation and amazing storytelling, just wow, great work.
Well done as usual.
Love that I get content from both you and Shawn.
I'm no fan of epoxy, but your use of it clearly elevates your designs. Fabulous job here! The quality of your explanations is also astounding. Thanks!
One of the best stories I've heard for wood working! All of it is SO true! one day I hope I'm half as successful as you're
Having watched a little further I can say that the few light coats versus a couple of heavy coats is not just for black polyurethane but for EVERY TYPE OF PAINT OR COATING EVER INVENTED. It's the one thing that people should know before they paint something but never pay attention to.
And I will also say a lot of TH-camrs have no idea how to use a paint gun or a spray can but you certainly do. Props for that.
this has to be one of my favorite pieces Ive seen you make, its beautiful and simple, i love the silhouette and contrast, and its a good size for functionality. its the kind of piece i would have in my house! great job as always :)
First video of yours I've ever seen ... this video is magical, to me, and I'm very grateful you took the time, and paid attention to the details, as much as you did ... such a beautiful video.
I think the main enjoyment of woodworking is the feeling of creating something completely new with your own hands and brain, also finishing a creation, although you will always see all the little pieces that kind of failed XD
the focal point of your videos is the furniture, but what makes your channel special is actually the rest, especially the analogies. Can't get enough of them. Just stay you my dude, you just made my day
Amazing. Inspiring. Soothing. All at once. Chapeau
Wow! This is no longer woodworking anymore. This is Art!
yeah man, don't ever quit this stuff. It's so cool listening to your narratives, told honestly, and without pretense. Rock on.
Really felt what you said about the Blum soft close draw runners. Nice job
stunning! I really love your editing and your honesty and humor in the voiceovers. Thanks for the encouragement about authenticity
Amazing build! I love the contrast that Acacia has. I think this is my favorite thing I have seen you make!
I love the close up shots of the hand saw and the table saw going right to the X. Impressive.
This is the first of your videos that I've seen so I'd like to give you a little bit of a review after having watched it. The title card really caught my eye as I was cruising through my recommendations.
I am primarily into watchmaking and machinist videos, so being as I primarily like making sharp metal chips that will poke my fingers, or spending an hour and a half on the ground with a magnifying glass looking for a spring, stopping at a woodworking video is not my usual thing although I do have a thing for all of the DIY and craft stuff. B in truth if I had enough time and lived long enough I would want to pick up woodworking too.
I really like your philosophical funny because it's true style of narration. It's exactly the kind of dry shop humor that I love. Please don't ever change that cuz that is the best part of this whole thing. I especially like you're keeping it real moments in the same vein such as talking about what impresses people about furniture or the fact that a lot of tasks in our favorite hobbies suck. In fact I think I'm going to embrace that observation when things get tough in the machine shop or at the watchmakers bench I can take solace in the fact that most of it sucks but the results are worth it.
Your woodworking skills are of course excellent and I like your emphasis on safety. I also really like that you're revisiting an old project and making it the way you wanted to make it instead of the way you thought you had to.
Answering the question about the track saws made me laugh out loud. Also funny because it's true.
The diatribe on what constitutes a board versus a slab was quite entertaining. I've had similar discussions with people based on a James May peace about what constitutes a screw versus a bolt. (It isn't the kind of head.)
I would also like to say that maybe we should start calling a fake live edge an undead edge.
I am subscribed now I'm looking forward to seeing more of your stuff. I can't really think of anything that I can point to and say you should change how you do this. Very very well done and I'll be watching in the future.
your channel is so comforting
Man... You just ROCK!!!! Fantastic job, great video.
Honestly I think this is one of the nicest pieces I've ever seen. Inspiring to say the least good sir.
After screwing around with a jigsaw + DIY cutting table, I saw a 4eyes vid about the whole Kreg plunge saw/track/cutting table. I bought that whole kit, and it has been perfect. I have no space, but the table folds up.
Favorite series on the makers channel, favorite TH-cam channel, I guess it’s because of the furniture design, your designs just appeal to my tastes. Beautiful piece as always.
Another beautiful piece Chris. Thanks for sharing.
Is it possible your favorite part of woodworking is putting the pieces you worked together in order to form a whole. Different from assembling idea furniture, you get the satisfaction of knowing it all fits together because of your work and that's satisfying.
Amazing project! Thank you so much for sharing this video. Your artful narration and delivery are what keeps me coming back.
I’m doing this same finish with some crappy oak I bought from my shop landlord. He sold me a truck load
For like $600. I’m doing an tire suite of furniture that matches. Blacked out oak with raw wood finishes and gold hardware. I love youR videos. Keep them coming!!!
Bro this is fucking amazing. I'm so tired of the talking heads on TH-cam just hawking sponsored products and making dumb faces in thumbnails. Your attention to detail, style and story is unmatched. It is a breath of fresh air and I have so much respect for you. One of the few TH-camrs in the woodworking space that actually seem like it would be fun to hang out with in real life. Keep on being you my friend!
This channel is so good… not only for what you learn from woodworking… but for everything ❤
Love your work, keep after it. Thank you.
Wow! This is such a beautiful piece! Pure art! 🙌🙌🙌
I like live edge stuff and I like epoxy, but I’ll admit I really love your classical mid-century inspired pieces even more.
I’ll happily watch anything you make, and I’m in the process of gaining access to a planer and jointer so I can make your plans.
I saw the thumbnail for this video 5 times. I've never watched a woodworking video or a DIY whatever. But I decided to click on this video, the chill vibes and commentary is so good. 15 minuets in and I'm enjoying this. Keep it up
Ditto to the previous comment on your philosophical narration to your videos it’s so so awesome. Oh btw the cabinet is absolutely gorgeous, keep up your amazing work. 👏👏👏
The amount of variation on slaboard got me lolling :D I clicked out of intrigue about the title but it turned out to be a pretty good video about making a nice piece with some spicy narration
Thanks for the video!
Incredible piece. Probably some of your best work in my opinion.
Dang!! That's some classic Foureyes design right there
I'll be honest, didn't watch a lot of the video since I'm restoring an old drill, but the audio was great content in itself, also the finished product is great. Thanks! 😁
Massive improvement from the last one! Stunning as always
Beautiful design, wood choice & execution!!!
Stunning 💗💗💗
I’ve been woodworking for most of my adult life . Black Acacia is a brutal but absolutely beautiful wood to work with and you did a fantastic job . If you’ve never used Desert Ironwood to make custom furniture then you absolutely need to try . I find that very challenging but simply stunning once you master it .
