Beautiful piece, and I can’t stress enough how important it is to hear how long it actually takes for you to accomplish a task. I fight with rushing my work and learning that 5 sec cut on TH-cam took 20 minutes to setup is something I need to focus on. Thanks again!
I can’t put my finger on a single thing but the culmination of the beautiful piece, the introspective commentary and showing how you work through a piece; this is the best video I’ve seen in awhile. Thanks for making this!
Beautifully made and thank you for not hiding a small mistakes(not really mistakes) along the way.You're a great craftsman and furniture designer.Keep up a good work
I'm pretty sure that drawer boxes are the only occasion in woodworking where not having enough is better than having too much. It's a beautiful piece and the pain staking attention to detail really does pay off, even if there is plywood behind the door.
It’s (I think) the first video from Shaun Boyd that I’ve watched. And I’m very impressed. I’ve been a woodworker for over 45 years. I’m now retired and, in some ways, am busier than ever. At its biggest, it was 2.5 FT (full time) equivalents; me being the 0.5 as my main job was as MD of my main business. So, not a big concern by any means. However, our shop was a reaction of the size of yours and it made everything….cosy. One of the small but important things you’ve showed is the time that everything makes. I don’t believe that buyers understand just how it takes to make a bespoke piece of furniture. Perhaps they see videos of big factories churning out furniture boxes by the hundred and think it takes a few hours of a couple of days to make something bespoke. In fact, it used to take me a few days just to do the design work; maybe a day to turn an accepted design into a cut list and a day to go to the supplier and choose the hardwood. So, before even starting on the piece, we are at the best part of a working week for one person. The basic box you built is relatively simple and would take perhaps half a day for 2 people ( I was surprised to see how you cut the dominos into the upright side; I would always clamp a piece to the upright so that I had more resting place for the domino fence and ensure that my cut went in at 90 degrees - but that’s just me). When you get onto fancy shapes, more than half the work is in the templates. Getting those just right means you may may end up with the right hardwood shapes; a template that isn’t just right ensures you get a crap result. The old maxim used to be that, by introducing a curve, you increase the labour input tenfold; add 2 complex curves and you increase it 100 fold. I found this not to be that inaccurate. Without going further along these lines, for me, the reality is I would have estimated the total design and build time on this to be around 100 hours. At £40 per hour (which was my base charging rate a few years ago), I’m at £4000 for labour. Add materials and I would be around £5,500. I don’t know how that equates to exactly time and material costs in this instance but there are few people, as a percentage of the population, willing and able to spend £5,500 on a wardrobe, armoire or pantry or whatever it’s use is. And I think that most people would think you are making a fortune out of charging that kind of figure - in fact you are only covering costs and paying a living wage. No more. I would be very interested to see you insert that time clock throughout your videos, with time jumps when you do something off camera such as making the templates, as a small part of allowing makers and users to see just how long everything takes if you want real quality. On the question of mitre saws, we sold one years ago because it’s use and the space it occupied just didn’t justify it. Over the last couple of years, we have been installing about £20,000 worth of European oak as second fix (finish) work in a barn conversion. Miles and miles of skirting (made of 3 separate pieces), coving (also 3 separate pieces) plus window surrounds (8 pieces). With lengths up to 3.6m, the only efficient way of curate cutting to length was a mitre saw as we could also take the saw to the area and stop endless walks to the on site shop. So, we bought another mitre saw. With that work coming to an end, and me believing that I will do very little long length work going forward, we will be selling the second mitre saw for the same reasons as the first one. Thank you for the video. I’m subscribing as I finish writing. And congratulations if you managed to have the time to read all of it
Thanks for your comment! Not many people really understand the time to price relationship, and it's one of those frustrating but part of the job type things. Luckily, because TH-cam is such a big part of my business now, it takes a bit of stress off the need to get top dollar for all of my pieces.
You are hilarious; I chuckled throughout the video and loved the discussion about plywood at the beginning, faking it as you're making it. But the creativity and the beautiful result belie all your self-deprecation. This is a great project...and a great video.
This is the second time I watch this video!!! I just wanna thank you for it because it just gave me a few ideas for a fish tank stand that I'm building as a silent auction item for a little girl who has stage 4 neuroblastoma and is beginning treatments. Thank you for the inspiration!!!
With such a beautiful piece like that and you being as honest about any flaws; such as the drawer box being narrower then planned and having exposed plywood edges; I would definitely trust you lol. I love the brass inlay and the dark stain on the recessed triangular section. Fantastic work once again Shaun.
Amazing build! You ,michael alm and pedulla are some of my favourite to watch on youtube. Are you going to do a podcast?? It would be great to listen to you guys while sanding 😅
As someone who follows a similar build path, it helps to think of things in quarters: 1/4 into CAD, 1/4 into milling, 1/4 into jointing, 1/4 into finishing. In your case, an extra 1/4 into video/editing. The time it takes is what it takes. The one question I have: how do you avoid feeling like you've got to devalue your labor to make a living? the ROI on time spent vs what you can charge always seems like 15-20$/hr in my case.
Yeah, that's always a tricky thing when trying to price your work. As designers and creators, we always want to spend more time on stuff and make it perfect, when the reality is that we probably won't ever see a return on a lot of that extra effort. To reconcile that, I often look at things as a whole...how much do I think this piece is worth? And is that price going to get me to the revenue that I want for this week or this month? Otherwise I would have quit a long time ago worrying about my hourly rate.
Nice ‘laying on the piece’ shot. I think about this a lot. I personally think the best pieces out there elevate their material, I kind of think about how David Smith’s (and other minimalist artist’s) sculptures got flack for using “cheap” material like rebar and concrete, instead of marble. They used industrial materials that were at the time, looked at, as ‘below’ fine art. But they elevated the material, and in doing so showed us a new view of beauty. I think plywood is sort of similar, it’s a fantastic invention, having the grain criss cross to intensely improve stability, and personally I love it when a good piece of furniture can elevate that and celebrate it rather than hide it. Plywood does have some serious short comings though, the lamination is vulnerable when the edges are exposed, especially if it’s not the highest quality plywood with a thick top layer of veneer. Showing materials weaknesses can be beautiful if controlled, especially as art, but as a functional piece of furniture… not so great, in that way adding edge banding on the front reads to me as a practical measure and a necessity for function. I make a lot of cnc’d sculptures out of plywood, and have you ever tried cnc routing a pocket that’s sizeable and at a partial depth? Like the cut out in your piece if it was all made of 1 single sheet as opposed to two layers. It makes a surprisingly interesting visual moment, true sometimes you run into voids or biscuits that aren’t as pretty, but if you’re using Baltic birch or something it’s actually less common then you’d expect. Idk try it some time on a piece of scrap, it looks cool, and is one way I like to acknowledge the material when it fits the design, could be a fun technique to try :) Beautiful piece as always!
Really appreciate it! I've done a lot of stacked and laminated plywood pieces, which certainly highlights the material. Plywood really is such a versatile material!
@@shaunboydmadethis I’ve seen a few of these, it’s funny, when you started posting on your old channel again it prompted me to check out some of your pre four eyes videos I’d never seen before, which was super fun and a nice surprise for new/old content to check out.
I have a miter saw....because I bought it in about 2000...but very rarely use it an generally only for "construction" type work. Not really needed for my woodworking with a sliding table saw and the CNC. :). Great project!!! And not putting effort into covering the edges of plywood where they will not actually be seen is a very good point.
Love the utilitarian styles - I, too, frequently leave hidden edges unfinished (unbanded in this case). So, I choose to believe that makes you brilliant! I also empathized strongly with those cuts around the door sizing. I call those “money cuts” (the ones where you earn your money), because even when they are straight forward technically, the stakes and stress are real, and small errors jeopardize lots of preceding work. Conversation with my wife usually goes something like this: “did you get a lot done?”… “no, but I made two money cuts that came out good (great, if I’m lucky) , so it was a good day!”. Finally, I also enjoy the conversation about staging a LOT. When I’m in an important project, those decisions are what I fall asleep to, and wake up with. It’s a joyous quest to find the best way to perform, and intrinsic to what a psychiatrist friend called a ”positive obsession”…woodworking! Thanks for all you do, and Keep up the great work!
Glad to hear other people experience the same things I do during a build! We are on the same page. Thanks for watching, and validating all of my ramblings.
This is some great stuff, a beautiful piece. Love the mixed materials, you are really letting each material shine in its own right. Also, thanks for the free course, I'm stoked to try it out.
So good to get the Boyd/4 Eyes monthly hit...didn't realise how much i'd been jonesing! Inspirational as ever...love it - and great to see the Chris Cameo. Love ur work, Mate. Thank you!
Excellent food cabinet! I bought an armoire a few years ago to store food as my kitchen had very few cupboards. Some folks thought it was brilliant, others thought it was silly, and yet others wanted to know if that where the cookies and chips were. I love your videos. Keep ‘em coming!
Quality of content of you and your buddy when you do that both seperately now is much, much better to be honest. You both seem to put more effort in it.
Great looking cabinet at just the right time. My daughter just said dad will you build me a corner cabinet for my kitchen. Thanks.I will be looking forward to your next video
Nicely done Shaun, it turned out great! I always find it interesting when someone is really good at something, how they can make it look easy. There is nothing easy about woodworking, and there was definitely nothing easy about this build. 👍
I remember the first time I saw one of your videos. I just thought you were a couple of new-age yuppies trying to show us old fogies how to build things. 🤣 Soon thereafter, I started seeking out your videos. I follow very few woodworkers… Rob Cosman, Paul Sellers, and you. I don’t even follow that whispering guy! I guess I’m too deaf.. I dunno. 🤷🏻♂️ Anyways, I love your passion for design, I love learning new techniques I’ve never thought of before, and I truly love your sense of humor. I find your videos as entertaining as they are informative. So, from this old fart to you.. thanks for sharing your knowledge and your wit with us. It is thoroughly enjoyed, and highly appreciated. ☮️
Wow, really appreciate that! To even be mentioned in the same sentence as Rob Cosman and Paul sellers is a win in my book. Thanks for following along, and not letting the new-age yuppy vibe keep you away! 😂😂
plywood should be celebrated as the amazing invention it is! making wood dimensionally stable is no easy feat when you’re working with a bunch of straws
Shaun your video commentary is hugely entertaining...and it always makes me laugh!!! Always love your work, and I always learn something too... Cheers from downunder!!!
That was a great build Shaun. I struggle most with trying to estimate my time needed for a piece. Let's face it, I suck at it. I always look at it thinking that "it's only a couple cuts, some tenons, and a round over or two, then a couple ... it should be more than 2 hours." 6...hours...later...
The song you're whistling. "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing" is a pop song that originated as the jingle "True Love and Apple Pie", by British hit songwriters Roger Cook and Roger Greenaway, and sung by Susan Shirley
Hey Shaun, I really love your channel. Your commentary, your great humor, your thought process, and your descriptive talent is always very enjoyable to watch . Great job buddy!
Great job as always. Don't know if it's entertaining, but sharing the decision making progress is important. It's always the most stressful part of the job and, at times, it seems to be more important than the "doing." Thanks again for sharing!
I was asking myself “how is he going to lay down on this one” 🤔 and sure enough you figured it out 😂 Great job man! It looks awesome and I love the way you added the brass inlays 👏🏽

Was the song I'd like to buy the world a come the real thing?
Were you whistling that coke commercial song?
A true Shaun Boyd piece and video. Sharp looking, modern design, great film work, thoughtfull, yet humble narration, no live edges, no epoxy. Perfect!
Thank you! Happy to hear I hit all the good stuff.
😢😊😊😂😂😢😢😢😢🎉😢😢😢😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😊😊😊😊😊😅😢😢
"...no live edges, no epoxy..."
The day those fads die can't come soon enough.
I feel like this has the quintessential retro futuristic look that a lot of midcentury modern furniture had back when it was new! I love it
Appreciate that! Definitely what I was going for.
^^this^^ couldnt quite work the words out then I read this comment.
Beautiful piece, and I can’t stress enough how important it is to hear how long it actually takes for you to accomplish a task. I fight with rushing my work and learning that 5 sec cut on TH-cam took 20 minutes to setup is something I need to focus on. Thanks again!
Glad to hear that you appreciated the time section. Thanks for watching!
I can’t put my finger on a single thing but the culmination of the beautiful piece, the introspective commentary and showing how you work through a piece; this is the best video I’ve seen in awhile. Thanks for making this!
Really appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed it!
I'd like to teach the world to ...... Damn Shaun, it's stuck in my head.
That's awesome. I'm super glad you're making your own videos again, hope we see many more!
Viewing from Germany, and I can confidently say ... "Das ist ein Kuchenshrank!" (Which is fancy for ... kitchen cabinet). ;)
It may be just a fancy pantry, but it’s the most beautiful fancy pantry I’ve ever seen! ♥️
I really loved the time estimates. Nobody really talks about how long it takes to do these things. Excited to see more of your videos
Happy to hear that! Thanks for watching!
The song. “I’d like to teach the world to sing”. Keep up the great work.
Unless already said in the comments, 'In Shaun We Trust'
LOL! Hell yes! I gotta tell you that's my favorite music....EVER! By the way Spock wants his pantry back.
Beautifully made and thank you for not hiding a small mistakes(not really mistakes) along the way.You're a great craftsman and furniture designer.Keep up a good work
Nice work on the fancy pantry Shaun! Thanks for sharing the build with us!👍💖😎JP
I'm pretty sure that drawer boxes are the only occasion in woodworking where not having enough is better than having too much. It's a beautiful piece and the pain staking attention to detail really does pay off, even if there is plywood behind the door.
That is the most beautiful (and only!) fanctry I have ever seen.
Good to see you back in the shop.
something really neat out of scrap. Thanks for the great video
It is exquisite! And I love the builder's angst in the commentary. Please, never change.
No plans to change anytime soon!
Oh man I missed that song, and the wave of good feelings as it hits alongside the glamour shots. Beautiful work, Shaun

The shapes really go well together

I really like that you added the time break downs. I always wonder how long these things take you.
This is exactly why it's great to see you back on your own channel!
Futuristic retro modern surfer chic style.. deeeewd I love it! 🤙
Cowabunga from retro future!
Amazing build! You ,michael alm and pedulla are some of my favourite to watch on youtube. Are you going to do a podcast?? It would be great to listen to you guys while sanding 😅
Thank you! It was fun chatting with them. For now that stuff will be Patreon only, but we will see how it goes.
I second this 🌟
Man there is nothing like some good old classic Shaun Boyd design!!
Nothing beats waking up early on a Saturday, and finding a new SBMT video to watch.
As someone who follows a similar build path, it helps to think of things in quarters: 1/4 into CAD, 1/4 into milling, 1/4 into jointing, 1/4 into finishing. In your case, an extra 1/4 into video/editing. The time it takes is what it takes.

You have done it again. Taken something simple to something extraordinary.
Mind. Blown! I never knew there was more time to a project than what you put into a video. You are a trickster!

Rock Star = Shaun Boyd! Still miss Greg..he is the real star!

Not really needed for my woodworking with a sliding table saw and the CNC. :). Great project!!! And not putting effort into covering the edges of plywood where they will not actually be seen is a very good point.
Yep, that sounds about right. Only time I use one is when I'm cutting 2x4's or crown moulding, which is very rarely. Thanks for watching!
the explanations are the main reason I tune in, its super helpful for an amateur like me 😁
Love the utilitarian styles - I, too, frequently leave hidden edges unfinished (unbanded in this case). So, I choose to believe that makes you brilliant!
I also empathized strongly with those cuts around the door sizing.

Thank you!
I am in love with this .. "piece". Wow. And, TBH - I quite enjoyed your presentation.
You are killing it Shaun, keep it up! (but only at the pace that makes you happy)
Fancy pantstry got me good. Hahaha. That’s gold.
Also, glad you still got a lay down shot even though it’s a tall piece.
Brilliant! The doors/drawer front and brass inlay are great, as are the sexy curvy sides. Thanks again!
Wow, gorgeous build - looks like something I would see in a grand cathedral
As soon as I saw the thumbnail I was wondering how you would lay on it. lol
Great video, beautiful project! Thanks for sharing!!
Great piece, very unique, very Shaun Boyd. Love it.
Lots of honesty in this video. Very impressive work and always enjoy the personality in your videos. Keep it up!
Excellent food cabinet! I bought an armoire a few years ago to store food as my kitchen had very few cupboards. Some folks thought it was brilliant, others thought it was silly, and yet others wanted to know if that where the cookies and chips were. I love your videos. Keep ‘em coming!
I'm sure we will get a lot of the same reactions!
Original, beautiful, practical. What more could you ask? Well done, Stewart, south west Australia.
Quality of content of you and your buddy when you do that both seperately now is much, much better to be honest. You both seem to put more effort in it.
Great job, I especially like the brass inlay.
Yur designs just gets better and better!
Can't wait to see yur collab with Pedulla and MAlm!
Entertaining...informative...helpful. For an armoire.
Great looking cabinet at just the right time. My daughter just said dad will you build me a corner cabinet for my kitchen. Thanks.I will be looking forward to your next video
Nice job Shaun and welcome back to your channel

Nice whistling. I'd like to buy the world a Coke was a great commercial and catchy song. Great build. I love your videos!
About as iconic as it gets! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful, as always. Really enjoying your solo videos. Best wishes!
Thank you! Happy to hear that!
Love both of you channels, but I love Shaun boyd more! More videos here
Thanks so much for all of your work and the videos. I love watching them.

@@shaunboydmadethis are you saying not to expect it to change? At least I am not alone
The song you're whistling. "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing" is a pop song that originated as the jingle "True Love and Apple Pie", by British hit songwriters Roger Cook and Roger Greenaway, and sung by Susan Shirley

I'm trying to catch some of that Stranger Things nostalgia craze!
Great job as always. Don't know if it's entertaining, but sharing the decision making progress is important. It's always the most stressful part of the job and, at times, it seems to be more important than the "doing." Thanks again for sharing!
I was asking myself “how is he going to lay down on this one” 🤔 and sure enough you figured it out 😂 Great job man! It looks awesome and I love the way you added the brass inlays 👏🏽
