Lets pause for a moment to appreciate the amount of time, and material resources, this guy has devoted to show the rest of us how to properly build boxes. I feel very humbled by this video.
Loved this breakdown of "plywood vs hardwood." As someone with limited tools due to space issues, this definitely helps. I think I'm a plywood guy yearning to be a hardwood guy. One day!
This video is 3 years old and and a great watch for any amateur wood worker who is trying to up their skills, the detail and time that 4eyes has put into this is to be commended but the little tips setting the saw to just past 45 is a great trick that I would not have known had he not mentioned it. This is why you need to subscribe to this channel. He builds great furniture, whether it is to your particular liking or not is not as relevant as the great information and techniques that are shared. PS i love your designs they are very much to my likening. Plans are available on the website for those interested.
I haven't fully red this book th-cam.com/users/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO yet but it is a good basic understanding of the different woods that all woodworkers should know.
i've ended up into the world of woodworking by accident (literally) and im a beginner, and to find your and shaun's channel has been so helpful, and honestly, you guys have been inspiring not only because of woodworking, but also, because of the video editing, music, camera settings, script, sketchups drawings (mybe not sketchup), video description and links, and all the details that comes with making this video. so i guess i just can say THANK YOU GUYS! greetings from Chile
I've spent most of my life working doing commercial construction work, and some experience in residential construction. Framing ( wood and metal), concrete, drywall ( hanging and finishing), building and the installation of custom cabinets, finish carpentry, and painting. I've been making the transition from construction work to wanting to build custom furniture. I've started off with smaller projects such as making jewelry boxes and ring boxes. Trying to hone in my skills a little more building and making smaller projects first. I've found your videos extremely helpful, even with some of the experience that I have. I'm always opening to learning something new, and or different ways. Thank you.
Just wanted to comment on how clean and organized your shop is. I know a lot of people don’t think it’s too important but in my opinion, it’s a huge deal. Your workspace should reflect your product, and it’s clear that it does in your case. Also, a clean shop is so much more welcoming and helps start your day on a positive note, at least that’s my philosophy. I have a lot of respect for neatness
What an awesome video! Experience is the most difficult part of teaching anything because there are so many variables that go unnoticed -- especially after years growing expertise. A lot of TH-camrs miss including a bit of the stuff they learned in the beginning of their woodworking experience, overlooking details that may not be crucial, but are impactful to the final project. You do an exceptional job of covering questions that pop into my head as I'm watching, which is (believe it or not) a gift. This is the quality that separates mere teachers from great teachers that can neither be taught nor truly learned. Giving the gift of knowledge that can allow a student to use your experience and knowledge as a solid foundation to their own journey to mastery is a demonstration of true altruism. If more people understood the true value of extraordinary teachers, we (Americans) wouldn't be so quick to view teachers as disposable and pay them like burger-flippers. The challenge for students is to find the teacher with both the expertise AND the gift. I hope everyone watching this channel will share it with everyone you know who is remotely interested in woodworking or what quality furniture looks like during its construction and maybe some of them will migrate away from big box stores and invest in the kind of handmade furniture that craftsmen and women can and do create. Or, learn to craft some for themselves. I recently had to give up riding a motorcycle, which was a big part of my daily mental health care. I just rediscovered woodworking which I'd been taught in a public school as a kid. I thought it was a lot of fun, then, and built some stuff that I was pretty proud of back then. When the class was finished, I moved onto other stuff: music, journalism, history, literature in high school and college, completely forgetting about my experiences in both wood and metals when I was young. I gravitated toward professions that were pretty far removed from trades, though my dad had been a professional welder/steel fabricator. And the further I got from doing creative stuff, the more anxious and aimless I felt. It never occurred to me that the problem might be in that tendency away from making stuff that might be the root of the problem. All I felt was that despite holding an advanced degree and doing everything in my power to convince myself that I was much too smart for trade work, I was miserable and continued effort to engage in everything designed to make me compliant and engaged with my work, from self-help and business success books to corporate classes and workshops we think will mold our behavior and make us better people, finally to prescription medication and intensive therapy -- none of which accomplished the goal of making me a well-balanced employee, citizen, or human being. I don't know if it's all as simple as taking up woodworking or rediscovering my love of the outdoors or even buying another motorcycle. But, somehow, I feel like it's all part of a bigger trend that subordinates people who aren't professionals simply because they're not then using that criteria as a rule to elevate the money-makers above the service providers, creators, and teachers that made our society. Literally. I know this is far afield of the subject of this video, but not so far as you think. In the not too distant future we will have automated a majority of jobs to the point that we'll be faced with the very serious dilemma of redefining what it means to work. My job won't exist. Ironically, the sponsor of this video, Policy Genius, is a great example of this trend. But, like all static troves of information, it will never be a true substitute for the insurance agent that has your back. All coverages are NOT created equal. All variables that can be covered by one or another policy cannot be homogenized to the point of one size fits all for the sake of efficiency and market share. But that's the trend. We do these things at our own peril. When robots and computers, 3D printers and CNC machines take over woodworking and the craftsman no longer has access to the base materials of his work, we will have lost yet another art vital to the progress of humanity. We are not designed to sit in offices and cubies monitoring the WEENUS. And it's especially destructive when corporate leadership lauds performance based solely on company growth, as if connecting with and providing for their clients and customers meant nothing. Beauty is important. In a world of robot craftsmen and women, there can never again be another Da Vinci, Frank Lloyd Wright, or Carroll Shelby. Thank you for allowing us to share your knowledge and experience, it's a tremendous gift and priceless. I'm here to save my soul and will be for a while. Thanks for letting me hang out, too. I'll try not to get in the way. Cheers!
Wow. This is such high quality content I feel like I should have paid to watch this and the panel video that brought me here. The two of you put so much valuable knowledge into every step of the way. I watched both just expecting to enjoy your content, in addition to that I feel like I've learned something for every stage of these processes. Keep up the fantastic work fellas.
I recently came across your channel and I'm really enjoying the content. As someone who started working with wood in high school back in 1980 (yeah, I'm old), I really enjoy your presentation style. I've learned something in every video I've watched, and even if I'm not much of a mid-century modern furniture guy, I have mad respect for the pieces you guys create. As an award-winning video editor, I will also say your videos and story telling is quite good. I watch more of your content than pretty much all other woodworking channels combined because of the way you craft each story, in addition to crafting the piece. You also deal with the craft of woodworking in a sensible and non-dogmatic manner, which is refreshing. I now design technical systems and I always tell my customers that all design is a compromise. There are many ways accomplish a system and which way you choose is based on what is most important to you. You articulated it well at the end of this video. Which is better, plywood or hardwood? It depends. What matters more to you and to this project? Both are valid options and while we may have our biases, the true craftsman can create a beautiful piece from either material. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience in a compelling and artful manner.
Great info, Chris. I'm 71 and have been a hobbyist woodworker for over 30 years and I'm still always looking for tips and new ideas to learn. Thanks. Yes, thicknii (wink). No scrapsketball? Take care. Bill
Great content. And you are one of the few to speak the truth about wood movement. People always speak about it like if it would move and walk by its own while it is just a bit of expansion/contraction
Thank you for being so generous with your knowledge. And please stop apologizing. You are entitled to your bias (preference), though you didn’t have the appearance of it. You did not communicate a prejudice for or against any particular material or practice. You did give a truly informative Peace on the basics of box building.
Liked how you talked over your content on the past 4 eyes videos then this one and there was less of it. I know it’s tuff and a lot that goes into this just there’s 4 videos in one here. It’s not as calming as your other content but that’s just me. I will continue to keep watching. Peace!
Truth...hardwood is better. Thanks for all those great tips Four...I’m pleased to meet you. And that destructive test on the box really gave some perspective on how strong the glued mitre is. Good stuff!
@@Foureyes.FurnitureMe avisem pois o seu trabalho é dedicação, inspira a ser perfeccionista, não disponho das ferramentas, mas temos que fazer com o que temos da melhor forma possível, sempre melhor! Gratidão pela didática que nos apresenta. Parabéns!
Very nice and informative video guys! I particularly appreciated the strength test. A few years ago I saw a lecture by a well regarded structural engineer who was custom designing a canopy that would employ laminated glass as a structural element. There were no mathematical formulas for this so he basically did the same thing. He had a glass shop built a few representative assemblies and then they loaded them to failure... several times until he was satisfied.
I am building my first furniture grade box now, and even for a simpel box, there are so many decisions to be made. Thank your for clearing that up, in a easy to understand way 👍
I have been having issues with my boxes and I feel like I’m just not setting my blade angles correctly. Thank you for showing how you set and use your tools!
Thanks a lot, I've learnt a lot from you through this video, which is the first video that made me know you. And for sure, you've got a a new happy subscriber, good luck and keep up the good work.
Great points, Chris, and well organized video format. I've been using plywood quite a bit lately and have felt the need to do some hardwood projects, my house is starting to feel like a baltic birch museum. I like the idea of using thicker hardwood for edging as well, need to try that one. Thanks!
This is great. I appreciate you taking the time to break this down into so many minutiae. Some of this material is in books but video gives greater context. Wow.
I love these youtubers who enter a craft for a handful of years, a craft that is been around for hundreds of years, and now they think there going to teach us how to do it better. Clearly they are catering to the ignorant
I just found your channel. Your tone, creativity, and production value are amazing. Thanks so much for the work you're putting in and your relaxed attitude. It is so refreshing!
@@1pcfred Ive still got a Starrett depth micrometer set that belonged to my grandfather when he was an engineer that still works as well today for me as it did for him many moons ago, they're definitely good tools :)
I just stumbled on your channel and I have to say, I'm impressed. Delivery was informative and pretty funny, inforomation was clear and concise. Got a new subscriber.
I always pay attention to Nike sneakers in your videos, as I am a huge fan of shoes, but my preference is Reebok Club C 85, in my opinion this is a great model that has not lost its relevance after 35 years.
Really appreciate the video, and will be applying some of these ideas for a tortoise enclosure that is going to be 5' by 3'. I think I would like to work with hardwood but due to moisture in the tortoise enclosure - even with sealing the wood and adding a pvc liner, I think my project is going to be better suited to plywood this time.
There’s not too many videos about using plywood and leaving the edges exposed like in a large variety of mid century modern furniture. I’d love to see a video where you show how to treat exposed edges to make them beautiful instead of covering them.
@@1pcfred That argument can be applied to sticking on a veneer. By that logic why should any video exist on any topic? I want to know tips and techniques to ensure a long lasting and beautiful edge and unfortunately, I am not as knowledgeable as you.
@@DrFearCo I made some bookshelves a while ago and left the plywood edges exposed. They're still holding up well. Some things are as straightforward, simple and easy as they seem. Raw plywood edges is one of those things too. It is literally the least thing you can do. But how it looks doesn't bother me. i.imgur.com/TTBGhYa.jpg
Love the video. Been watching yours for just a short time, and would love to see more of this informational type content interspersed within your other videos, i.e. spend a minute or so per video to highlight the reasoning/challenges/benefits of going a certain route vs another. Good stuff. Thanks!
Dovetails were popular before we had effective modern adhesives. Back then they really did not have much choice but to use them. Yellow glue is stronger than wood though.
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute...... this dude pulled out a Mario Brothers ruler! All the woodpeckers hanging there on the wall, but no he chose Mario Brothers !! love these guys even more now
This is exactly what I was looking for in a video, especially the precision tip of the mitred corners. That, to me, is why I subscribed. Plus, I love your style. So much so that I'm getting one of those dope shirts! Cheers!
Dude. I always and I mean ALWAYS skip ahead of sponsor information. However, you made that funny. Kept my attention. Whatever they're giving you you're gonna want an increase of it. Well done. Also, love the video. Thanks for the information!
I think you convinced me to try hardwood on a kitchen cabinet I’m building - the whole kitchen is made from 3/4” (18mm) domestic ply but I’m thinking about using some 4/4 hard maple I have from another project. The cabinet will be the focal point when coming into the kitchen so I may rebuild it in hardwood... Thanks!
@21:32: that is NOT a dead blow hammer. Dead blow hammers do NOT bounce back as seen when this rubber hammer bounces back every time. Dead blow hammers have some sort of heavy shot, lead or steel, inside that moves to the impact face when the hammer impacts something. This causes all of the energy of the blow to go into the impacted item. When your hammer bounces back, energy has been stored in the hammer and is released when it bonces back. Steel hammers do this to a lesser degree than anything elastic as rubber, because steel, as much as elastic to a small extent as well. That energy stored in the hammer, causing bounce back, does not transfer to the impacted item. The idea of making the miters 44.9° vs. trying for exactly 45° is a great idea. Now that you have pointed this out, it is obvious. I don't know why I didn't think of it. Thanks for pointing that out.
It's the fact that the joke has been going on for years that makes it funny! If you're brand new to the videos, you dont really catch it. That's why I love the joke!
I love videos with included paid promotions. When I see this I only regret I don't pay for YT. Imagine - paying to watch commercials showing another commercials.

There’s not too many videos about using plywood and leaving the edges exposed like in a large variety of mid century modern furniture. I’d love to see a video where you show how to treat exposed edges to make them beautiful instead of covering them.
Just make the edges smooth. Sand, fill and sand again. What else could there possibly be to it?
@@1pcfred That argument can be applied to sticking on a veneer. By that logic why should any video exist on any topic? I want to know tips and techniques to ensure a long lasting and beautiful edge and unfortunately, I am not as knowledgeable as you.
@@DrFearCo I made some bookshelves a while ago and left the plywood edges exposed. They're still holding up well. Some things are as straightforward, simple and easy as they seem. Raw plywood edges is one of those things too. It is literally the least thing you can do. But how it looks doesn't bother me. i.imgur.com/TTBGhYa.jpg
Loving the “Thickni” wink! Thanks again!
Love the video. Been watching yours for just a short time, and would love to see more of this informational type content interspersed within your other videos, i.e. spend a minute or so per video to highlight the reasoning/challenges/benefits of going a certain route vs another. Good stuff. Thanks!
This guy cuts the funniest promos
I love dovetails in youtube videos, I can’t be bothered to make them myself tbh as you wont see them anyway after the white paint 😁
Dovetails were popular before we had effective modern adhesives. Back then they really did not have much choice but to use them. Yellow glue is stronger than wood though.
That Super Mario ruler is amazing
Ty so much for creating these amazing videos! I learn so much from you guys! ❤
I really like this stile of video. I feel like I left entertained and having learned something. New subscriber!
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute...... this dude pulled out a Mario Brothers ruler! All the woodpeckers hanging there on the wall, but no he chose Mario Brothers !! love these guys even more now
Awesome vid! I’ve got a challenge for you... make a project with no numerical measurements. Use only your other cuts to “measure”.
This is exactly what I was looking for in a video, especially the precision tip of the mitred corners. That, to me, is why I subscribed. Plus, I love your style. So much so that I'm getting one of those dope shirts!
Cheers!
Dude. I always and I mean ALWAYS skip ahead of sponsor information. However, you made that funny. Kept my attention. Whatever they're giving you you're gonna want an increase of it. Well done. Also, love the video. Thanks for the information!
Thanks man! That is some high praise :)
That's the most lively "dead-blow" hammer I have ever seen. Sneaking suspicion its just a mallet...
It's a mallet with rubber on the head. I have one just like it, definitely not a dead blow.
Unless it's a dead blow made in Asgard, I'm voting for mallet too.
thank you very much! Im building a computer monitor stand and this video was very helpful
Love the new do man, welcome to the club!
I appreciate the security camera view :)
Super helpful video! Definitely will save for future reference.
Thanks
Your tips are great! Learning a lot :) Keep them going!

I did used to write and sing songs. I guess I'm not totally out of the game :)
I think you convinced me to try hardwood on a kitchen cabinet I’m building - the whole kitchen is made from 3/4” (18mm) domestic ply but I’m thinking about using some 4/4 hard maple I have from another project. The cabinet will be the focal point when coming into the kitchen so I may rebuild it in hardwood... Thanks!
Is it just one cabinet? Or your kitchen cabinets? If the latter, that is actually a situation where I’d probably go with plywood and a hardwood edge
This one cabinet is all I’m making out of solid maple. The rest of the kitchen is already done using plywood and edge banding :-)
Very well done and presented! Thanks!
Also, thickni!
Also, also, nice look with the smooth dome!
@21:32: that is NOT a dead blow hammer. Dead blow hammers do NOT bounce back as seen when this rubber hammer bounces back every time. Dead blow hammers have some sort of heavy shot, lead or steel, inside that moves to the impact face when the hammer impacts something. This causes all of the energy of the blow to go into the impacted item. When your hammer bounces back, energy has been stored in the hammer and is released when it bonces back. Steel hammers do this to a lesser degree than anything elastic as rubber, because steel, as much as elastic to a small extent as well. That energy stored in the hammer, causing bounce back, does not transfer to the impacted item. The idea of making the miters 44.9° vs. trying for exactly 45° is a great idea. Now that you have pointed this out, it is obvious. I don't know why I didn't think of it. Thanks for pointing that out.
Explained and shown so well, thank you.
A thurogh guide like this on making hard wood panels for rough wood, could be nice 👍👍
Nice comprehensive look at this process. Well done :-)
Thank you for the good information. I am supporting you on Patreon~~
I don't think the "thickni" joke will ever not be funny.
The wink along with it was priceless!
It's the fact that the joke has been going on for years that makes it funny! If you're brand new to the videos, you dont really catch it. That's why I love the joke!
It's kind of a Latin pluralization, so I would go with thicknii.
@@SpencleyDesignCo Oh I know it's been in so many videos every time in a new form
Please, please somebody explain. I'm new to the channel
Always find your videos helpful; thanks!
"Shop Accidents that may happen," he must be talking to you Mr. Boyd.
I already liked the video but I'mma need a love button for 19:29
That's a lot of details 👍🏻🪛🪚🔨
well now i am bious towards your channel. there are lots of tips and tricks in one short video.
thanks a lot for sharing your experiences! Love the shy/proud angle concept!
Instant like.Thank you for the knowledge.
I love videos with included paid promotions. When I see this I only regret I don't pay for YT. Imagine - paying to watch commercials showing another commercials.
Awesome vid Chris, your incite is very valuable!
Great video. Saving this for reference, thank you.
Fantastic video! Love your use of "thicknigh" (multiple thicknesses) :P
Thanks Chris.
