Also cost of those epoxy tables is absolutely bonkers. I could make one for my self essentially for free, but walnut, hell downgrading to more common birch would be pretty expensive let alone all the cost of epoxy.. its one of those maker gets sponsored so gets epoxy much cheaper and with their viewers has way to get things sold fast, specially for fanboys.
There's one creator I think we're all thinking of who makes furniture that's almost entirely epoxy and he sells them for extortionate amounts. Large amounts of epoxy look cheap and are basically plastic. It's frustrating seeing self proclaimed carpenters relying on resin for everything.
The graphic segments are awesome. I’m sure they take extra time, but it really adds to the feel of the video. Also, your scripts are at the top of all TH-camrs! You and cam are in a league of your own.
When I'm rich I'm only buying custom furniture bc oh my god... This is just beautifully crafted, the amount of work you've done to make that raw piece of wood look like this is just insane. I bet the table just feels amazing as well.
Appreciate that. This was one of my favorites. And I guess that’s a perk of being a furniture maker. I have the furniture of a rich person, despite not being rich.
@@Foureyes.Furniture Not rich with 1M+ subs, promoting a shoddy product (beauty crap thingy, this thing is an insult to your art I'm sorry :/) and making top notch furniture ? I'm amazed by your work btw, huge respect !
There are different levels of rich. Attachment to things is only one level above having just enough. The limit that one reaches is time, and a point can be reached where time is much more valuable than money.
I'm not an avid woodworker accually quite the opposite I'm a IT guy. But I absolutely love the work you and Shaun Do and you both have an awesome syle of filming and voice over. Please don't ever stop. Thank you
"Don't get cocky kid!", and please don't ever lose your great sense of humor! This was an absolutely gorgeous work of art and I am sure it looks even better in person. Thank you.
Chris, once again: awesome design, very well executed. The filming, editing, the animations, the voice overs: immaculate! The countless dry humor remarks: hilarious. You seriously made me laugh out loud. Hats off to you!
the graphical explanations are a real help (for me atleast) because with the visual aid it's far more easily understandable. Love your videos by the way it's really nice listening to you explain your creative process and the little woodworking titbits are really fun🥰
I absolutely love the minimal use of the epoxy. To me this is the best use of epoxy which is to make a slab usable and highlights the wood and not the epoxy. Love that look!
for circular tables it is probably the best to always base the leg count around the maximum amount of seats on the table. So if the table seats 8 people you should either go with 8 or 4 legs. That way no one has a table leg weirdly positioned in their leg space.
Meh, you could have 8 legs with 8 people if each had one between their knees, but there are 7 divisions between 8 people. 7 legs for 8 people to each have their own space is best if you're not a victim of imparnumerophobia.
Your videos are, hands down, the ones I look forward to watching the most - in the woodworking world. The attention to detail, the graphic explanations, and of course the humor ... So good!
This is so beautiful, I actually cried when I saw how you transformed the old wood into that table. Literally took my breath away. True craftsmanship. ❤️
I got into woodworking a few years ago because of your videos, the way you use graphics and explain what you're doing have taught me so much. They're excellent!
Your graphics and sense of humor are two of the primary reasons I enjoy your channel. Another thing I appreciate to some degree is your woodworking experience and ability to teach.
At 17:35 I really feel this. I’m a ceramic sculptor and I make my pieces by throwing tons of the same form on the pottery wheel and then assembling them into one final piece. Making repetitive stuff is extremely tedious but that moment when you put it all together and the repeating forms are almost mesmerizing is an amazing feeling.
You have such an astonishing ability to design and create custom furniture! With other woodworking channels i get the feeling of being small with my basement workshop, but you are just so humble and explain and show the problems that big tools like the cnc bring with. Keep up the great work!!
Thank you so much...I started off in a 2 car garage. I'll probably be downsizing my shop at some point in the future. It's not the size of the workshop you're in. I can promise there are people out there in far worse shops, with far worse tools than me...who are far more talented than me.
No native English speaker here .. but I loved your wit and humour…loved the graphics … and even the ad. And I am jealous of your job… wishing you and your gorgeous wife all the best….
Love your humor, brother. Always nice to watch your woodworking skills! Also that will last way longer than 20 years. Their great grandkids will fight over who gets to inherit it!
Love the way you describe your thought process at each step. I was amazed to learn how much work, skill, and consideration goes into creating a table with wood. Above all, the finished piece is truly a work of art.
Do you know instead of a Band-Aid or a bowtie, you should make a CNC file of a pair of glasses. Have a router template of your four eyes logo so that you can cut it directly into the bottom of a table and have it double as a temporary Band-Aid or advertising/makers mark
Gotta say this is easily one of my favorite builds from you, and potentially the best thing you've made on this channel. The base design is really incredible! Makes me want to switch the biscuit jointer to the domino, it might be time.
Foureyes you’ve done it again! As an Interior Architecture & Furniture Design student I am so inspired and impressed by your workmanship! Were I the client I would also have loved a matching pendant light in the same style as the base. Fantastic
Cracking blend of design and craftsmanship while still letting the beautiful timber be the star of the show. Awesome work Sir. P.s. the animations help.
I agree with you, this is your best piece yet! No doubt. There is that moment where you have mastered all the skills, the tools are adequate and the timing is right. This feels like it for me watching you and knowing where you started. Good job and keep inspiring people like me to keep going.
@@Foureyes.Furniture yeah i don’t know how you can make stuff like this and then say you’re not a great woodworker. “Good at best” my ass. 😊 Actually, as a psychology nerd I know exactly why you feel this way. You’re high in conscientiousness like I am. Just know that most people don’t have standards as high as you do and they think you’re a great woodworker. And honestly they are closer to the truth than you are on this one.
I personally appreciate your insight into how you worked with these clients. You had helped advise me on IG about a built in desk I created for a client, and honestly, this video did exactly what I was hoping to see from you as far as communication with the client. I am also very critical of myself, so being asked to "surprise me" can be incredibly fun, but also anxiety provoking. I appreciate your approach, not to mention, this table design and execution is incredible. Thank you for everything, and as usual, great work.
"Don't get cocky kid!", and please don't ever lose your great sense of humor! This was an absolutely gorgeous work of art and I am sure it looks even better in person. Thank you.
Without question the most beautiful table I've ever seen in my entire lifetime. You are one talented human being. I wish I had the good fortune to be furnishing my home at this time because you would be the man I would turn to. You are like the Frank Lloyd Wright of furniture making...☺
I do think this is one of your best designs. It just looks very organic and flowing. I hate epoxy and fact that there is only connection line makes it so much better.
Now I want to be able to afford custom furniture just so I can ask for a pacman and ghosts instead of bowties under my dining table 😆 Beatiful build! I was really digging that base design and was so happy to see you and Braley agreed so I'd get to see it realised
@@Foureyes.Furniture don't wait for them. next build. I think this could be your signature ( hide some detail that may or may not ever get seen) But a cnc pac man and ghost bowties would be pretty epic.
Guys like you guys and Blacktail Studio are more artist than just furniture makers. Hell, your work often looks like it should be in The Guggenheim Museum. I may not be able to afford your work, but I personally think that the people who can, are getting these things at bargain prices. I just appreciate your sharing your journey with us. Thank you.
@@chuckhansen5325 You don't get it because you didn't watch the fucking video..... He turned down 7k in profit because he talked them into a circle instead of the pill design. And yes having been a wood worker for the last 32 years I can tell you like he said in the video. This table is around 10.5 out the door. So yes ANYBODY would turn down 7k when the slab itself cost 3600. Turn your fucking brain on before you comment again. 7000 barely covers the cost of the wood and shop costs. You have no idea what you are talking about and you clearly didn't watch the video because he breaks this all down for clowns like you. Pay attention.
Congratulations on the “Golden Chamfer” award. Who knew…..anyone that takes the time to create a fake employee page that flashes on the screen for little more than a second deserves all of the success they have obtained. Truly entertaining and talented too. Thanks for the great videos.
I like everything about this video. The design, the process, the explanations, the humor, the way you implemented the advertising which is a very bearable method in my opinion, the drawings and graphics to show and explain things and finally the length of the video 😅
I'm probably one of the strangest fans. 72 year old lady and South African, living in Cambridge UK. In the 50s I used to sit on my Dad's workbench and watch my Dad making stylish furniture, with the minimum hand tool that he probably got from my grandfather. I have been looking at your stylish furniture and some of the features take me back to that 5 year old and makes me happy. The only thing better with you is the running commentary and wit. Your future is amazing and if I had the money I would order one of these sleek creations. I also wish my dad could visit your work shop to see the amazing machines. Thank you for entertaining me.. Keep up the good work and keep on talking.
Holy cow! I’ve been watching for a while (since the Ryo Sonoda days) and man I’ll tell you what, it’s been amazing seeing your projects, and your view on design progress in this direction. The way you present your design decisions with reasoning, visualization sketches and renderings makes the process so enjoyable to watch. Being a designer myself, this table gave me goose bumps seeing how everything came together to make such a gorgeous piece. Keep up the amazing work!!!
100% agree - Chris and Shaun are my two favourite makers and i have to say their most recent projects respectively are amazing. More of the same please!
This is a gorgeous table. I'd definitely pay that money for it if it was in my budget. I'm so happy we're realizing that craftsmanship is so important and people are taking up jobs like this. Good job.
Both of you are great, love the subtle jokes vs slaphappy stuff you see on other channels. Really like the development you both have had over time. I feel like we are learning with you. And thanks for making us all potential caulk workers 😂
I agree that the base of this is the focal point and star of the show... it's amazing. Your attention to the grain is what makes it perfect. You asked: yes, I love your graphics. Question: was that the client's actual reaction, or did you all set us up for that?
@@Foureyes.Furniture OMG!! I am SOOO relieved. I felt like a doofus for not being able to tell if they were joking or not. "And the Oscar goes to..." 🤣🤣😜😝
Absolutely Love your style, in furniture design, video editing, and voice over work(& design graphics), don’t change a thing. I feel that your evaluation(valuing) of your work is spot on and would happily pay if in my budget. But I’m just a laborer with a penchant for woodworking myself, so I look towards your work for inspiration. All my best to you.
Gorgeous table. Beautiful wood selection, beautiful design, beautiful execution. I particularly loved the way you aligned the grain on the central hubs. I wish I had the skills and tools to build something similar, or the budget to afford to buy your stuff. Instead, I'll keep watching, admiring, and learning. Oh, and the graphics are great additions to the videos. Makes the whole production pop.
Skills are developed through repetition, and the same results can be achieved with far less modern tools. The only way to improve is through effort, and effort is merely the result of desire. If you want to build, do so. Even if you fail to produce something salable, gaining knowledge is never a failing endeavor. Maybe your second or third try could end with better results. Never look down upon the skills you have, but recognize that you can always get better. I encourage everyone to at least try.
Before watching this video, I decided to heat up my lunch in the microwave. I went with 1 minute 43 seconds. That wasn't quite enough, so I did another 17 seconds and now it's perfect. Great video by the way.
I favor the button that adds a minute and starts all in one go. Hit it again and you have up to two minutes. Just pull the door open when you think it’s done. 😂 Push|Push|Pull ✅
Well, I personally love the six legged design, the eight would suit a much larger table. But the finished table is exquisite. Little sad not to see an extending version, but your explanation of the issues was very detailed. Overall great video. Thank you.
As an amateur woodworker, I really enjoy your videos. Most woodworking channels are informative but feel kinda formal and humorless. They look alike too. Yours is different. Subbing! Peace!
Love your stuff man. Always. Working on the deskquire and almost completed it. Videos are stellar as well. Thanks for the inspiration, hope to be done and send you guys the results of the deskquire soon. Oh and don’t pay attention to the noise.
Wow, I have to say, your woodworking skills are absolutely incredible! The table you've created is nothing short of breathtaking. The attention to detail, the precision of your cuts, and the overall craftsmanship truly showcase your artistry as a woodworker. But it's not just your woodworking skills that impress me; your narration of the video accompanying the woodworking is captivating. Your ability to explain each step, the techniques used, and the thought process behind your decisions demonstrates a deep understanding of your craft. You have a true talent for storytelling, and it adds an extra layer of enjoyment to the experience of watching your work come to life. Moreover, your video exhibits a wonderful sense of humor and creativity. The way you inject lighthearted moments and clever jokes into the woodworking process shows that you have a unique personality and an ability to connect with your audience on a personal level. It's evident that you not only have a passion for woodworking but also a knack for entertaining and engaging others through your videos. Overall, your talent as a woodworker, your artistry, your narration skills, and your ability to infuse humor and creativity into your videos make you a true standout in the woodworking community. Keep up the fantastic work, and I can't wait to see what incredible creations you'll come up with next!
I'm thinking you could theoretically make a table that looks good both round and extended with some clever use of bookmatching that would require a slab thick enough for four slices though
That table is beautiful. I would agree it's one of the best pieces you've made. The graphics do really help to visualize the concepts you are talking about. The amount of detail that goes into your editing is something that separates you from most other creators. The video itself is as much of a piece of art as the things you are building.
For the record, the graphics you use are a big reason ive subscribed to your channel for years. Its different and adds alot of clarity with your explinations and has helped me learn and improve as a woodworker.
As a connoisseur of the interwebs, it's always great to find channels like this... where the creator has a passion for something completely unrelated to entertainment, but then also has a passion for putting out a great product on this platform too, and we get results like this. Well done.
Dude - I've been excited to see this base come together for over a month, and it didn't disappoint! Well done (the top is nice too obvi)! Also, trying to imagine Dolores's face when she sees you calling her a "tool" lol I suppose following up with calling yourself a tool might soften the blow a bit haha
I love your graphics and your entire way of presenting! I think you're the most natural conversationalist I've come across on TH-cam, and the easy way you talk to us like we're standing right there makes your videos enjoyable even when I can't watch them and I'm only listening. I also love how purely honest you are. You never gloss over the hard parts, you don't pretend to love the tedium, you don't run from your mistakes or let them harsh your chill past what they're due. I think we'd all agree, you're clearly well past smart, not even sharing a zip code with pretentiousness and anxiety can f'off stopping by daily for tea. You know who and what really matters and you keep that list tight. Which leaves you even keel and chill. Bottom line, your talent as a creator absolutely ranks among the TH-camrs who deserve to say that the world's a little better place because they make a living on social media.
I've watched a ton of your videos and I have to agree, I think this is one of the nicest things you've made. Probably my favorite of all of your projects. I really like the leg design and minimal epoxy usage which highlights the wood more than the plastic. I enjoy the graphics and illustrations, I think these, and well you explain your design process, help to set you apart from other woodworkers.
What about epoxy for the two stright edges of the center piece regarding the extendable table option? Then you can have connected wood grain when closed and it doesn't look bad either when extended
I agree this is one of the best pieces you've built so far, and man, what an evolution has it been. Not that it was bad in the beginning, it was already very cool and good looking projects, it's just that I could not forsee that you had a lot left to improve in terms of craftmanship and design. Anyway, nice job making, scripting and filming. Cheers.
You have been the inspiration for me setting up a TH-cam channel and making it just as much about entertainment as informational, so I was so pleased when my video started appearing as suggested content at the end of this video! Life goals ✅
The base design, specifically the shape of the legs, is very similar to something I would doodle; and have many times. This is one of my favorite designs of yours. I very much like it. 26:15: Why only twenty years? This strikes me as an heirloom piece. Being no more an armchair enthusiast of all things woodworking (I’ve built a few boxes, shelves, and a couple of tables from very basic big box materials), I’d think this would last far longer. The materials, construction, and hardware seem up to snuff; even given the use case.
Given the financial resources required to buy such spectacular custom furniture, it’s likely that 20 years after acquiring the table, it would pass on to the owner’s heirs.
I don't know why this turned up on my TH-cam, but I'm glad it did. My father was a high-end furniture maker, and i think he would have been blown away by the equipment you have! He made some wonderful pieces of furniture, so it's lovely to watch your craftsmanship. Oh, and i like the graphics too! Greetings from the UK.
Randomly bumped into your channel, but hey this is true work of art! I have seen custom made tables, but this one is really special. The base of the table is impecable ! complete crazy those clients to give away such an artwork for a pill shaped table.
Stunning finished product! My only critique, if you will, is the squarish ends of the base where they meet the top (as seen at 28:29). I would have made the radius flow all the way up to the top. Another thought I had when you were talking about jigs is - maybe utilize the cnc for making jigs. As a former cnc programmer and operator, I know this is often a "6 of one, half dozen of another" on time spent so it really comes down to how efficient you are at programming etc.
wow! these videos always amaze me. seeing the details and complications of the work, and then the finished product. it’s all so educational and entertaining. this table really is stunning
We already purchased this on Amazon, but wish I had used your link! Informative video, all useful content with no filler! thanks for putting your time into it!
STUNNING! I absolutely love this table! The entire table, top to bottom. I even love the bandaids! I actually think they would look good on top! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talent. You put a huge effort into these videos and that is probably an understatement.
What black dye are you using for the small bug hole pours? How is the black not staining into the unprotected wood? Is it and ink or a dye? Pls lmk thanks
i used to work somewhere with a CNC router. It always cut all the way through the boards we used. Is the blade not long enough to cut all the way through the wood or do you prefer to cut manually afterwards? What would be the benefit for that?
Beautiful work! Wondering if you have a high level rule for how wide the base should be (to avoid tipping / too much wobbling) relative to the side of the top.
You’ve reached another level here. Seriously, If I saw this in someone’s house (the entire table, including the base), I would stop where I was to look at it and say things like, Whatever you paid, it was worth it.
I am making a two slab live edge table and after running them both through the planar and joining them, I have one corner that is slightly bowed up maybe 1/8". Would c channel straighten that out? Also the legs I'm using have a steel base that will span most of the width. Do you think the combo of both would flatten out the slight warp?
Thanks for watching! If you want to pre-order the Mechanical Pencil...here's the link - makertoolsource.com/
Ordered one immediately after getting your email. Looking forward to using it! Cheers
That's a sweet pencil.
Might I make one cool edition suggestion?
A small eye or keeper anchor at the end to use it as a plumb.
Me too!
You try soooo hard to sound witty and funny. Just stick to what you’re good at. Just woodworking talk as little as possible.

With so many epoxy tables out there, these minimal pours of black in walnut are gorgeous. The sap wood just makes that line pop.
Indeed it does :)
Thank you
Couldn’t agree with you more. I personally hate massive amounts of epoxy in any piece of furniture. This is stunning!
Also cost of those epoxy tables is absolutely bonkers. I could make one for my self essentially for free, but walnut, hell downgrading to more common birch would be pretty expensive let alone all the cost of epoxy.. its one of those maker gets sponsored so gets epoxy much cheaper and with their viewers has way to get things sold fast, specially for fanboys.
Exactly, the blue river tables were cool... for a couple months

Thank you. Just watched 90% of this. Beautiful craftsmanship. Lovely soothing voice. Terrific tools. Wow table. Thanks.
The end though...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You're a fun guy to watch and yep, when a client gets like this I can relate. Awesome work, chief
Thank you sir...I try to be :)
I got a heart palpitation when that dungus said that good lord
Like I am still buzzing with anxiety on your behalf good lord
As always, this is a great video. Love the graphics, flow, and video. Keep doing what you're doing!
Will do...as long as they keep letting me :)
The heavy desk with natural drawings and the elegant foot make as a whole an outstanding piece of furniture anybody would be proud to have.
Now I want to be able to afford custom furniture just so I can ask for a pacman and ghosts instead of bowties under my dining table 😆
Beatiful build! I was really digging that base design and was so happy to see you and Braley agreed so I'd get to see it realised
When. you're ready...I'll be here to make that Pacman and ghosts table.
@@Foureyes.Furniture don't wait for them. next build. I think this could be your signature ( hide some detail that may or may not ever get seen) But a cnc pac man and ghost bowties would be pretty epic.
@@Foureyes.Furniture Endless design ideas for the Bow tie. I was thinking Sneakers, baseball bat, pizza. But then it came to me....Glasses, Foureyes.
@@jimmya4217 Genius! 👓
Guys like you guys and Blacktail Studio are more artist than just furniture makers. Hell, your work often looks like it should be in The Guggenheim Museum. I may not be able to afford your work, but I personally think that the people who can, are getting these things at bargain prices. I just appreciate your sharing your journey with us. Thank you.
I call bullshit on not taking $7000 for it
@@chuckhansen5325 You don't get it because you didn't watch the fucking video..... He turned down 7k in profit because he talked them into a circle instead of the pill design. And yes having been a wood worker for the last 32 years I can tell you like he said in the video. This table is around 10.5 out the door. So yes ANYBODY would turn down 7k when the slab itself cost 3600. Turn your fucking brain on before you comment again. 7000 barely covers the cost of the wood and shop costs. You have no idea what you are talking about and you clearly didn't watch the video because he breaks this all down for clowns like you. Pay attention.
I love the table! It has a mid-century modern feel to it. I especially love your design for the legs.
Congratulations on the “Golden Chamfer” award. Who knew…..anyone that takes the time to create a fake employee page that flashes on the screen for little more than a second deserves all of the success they have obtained. Truly entertaining and talented too. Thanks for the great videos.
I like everything about this video. The design, the process, the explanations, the humor, the way you implemented the advertising which is a very bearable method in my opinion, the drawings and graphics to show and explain things and finally the length of the video 😅
Thank you, thank you, thank you, and thank you...really appreciate that :)
I'm probably one of the strangest fans.
72 year old lady and South African, living in Cambridge UK.
In the 50s I used to sit on my Dad's workbench and watch my Dad making stylish furniture, with the minimum hand tool that he probably got from my grandfather.
I have been looking at your stylish furniture and some of the features take me back to that 5 year old and makes me happy.
The only thing better with you is the running commentary and wit.
Your future is amazing and if I had the money I would order one of these sleek creations.
I also wish my dad could visit your work shop to see the amazing machines.
Thank you for entertaining me..
Keep up the good work and keep on talking.
Hope you are doing fine granny. Happy to hear that these videos reminds you of your childhood
Holy cow! I’ve been watching for a while (since the Ryo Sonoda days) and man I’ll tell you what, it’s been amazing seeing your projects, and your view on design progress in this direction. The way you present your design decisions with reasoning, visualization sketches and renderings makes the process so enjoyable to watch. Being a designer myself, this table gave me goose bumps seeing how everything came together to make such a gorgeous piece. Keep up the amazing work!!!
Thank you so much. The Sonoda days are probably over on TH-cam...but not in my headphones while working from time to time :)
100% agree - Chris and Shaun are my two favourite makers and i have to say their most recent projects respectively are amazing. More of the same please!
This is a gorgeous table. I'd definitely pay that money for it if it was in my budget. I'm so happy we're realizing that craftsmanship is so important and people are taking up jobs like this. Good job.
Both of you are great, love the subtle jokes vs slaphappy stuff you see on other channels. Really like the development you both have had over time. I feel like we are learning with you. And thanks for making us all potential caulk workers 😂
Thank you for the kind words...and definitely happy to shed any light on caulk workers that I can. Especially the relief cutters. Unsung heroes.
I agree that the base of this is the focal point and star of the show... it's amazing. Your attention to the grain is what makes it perfect.
You asked: yes, I love your graphics.
Question: was that the client's actual reaction, or did you all set us up for that?
Thank you...and yes, that was a set up. The client's were good sports and did some acting. They actually really liked the table :)
@@Foureyes.Furniture OMG!! I am SOOO relieved. I felt like a doofus for not being able to tell if they were joking or not. "And the Oscar goes to..." 🤣🤣😜😝
Not enough people appreciated the 5 inch joke
"5 inches sounds like a lot now doesn't it… a whole 7 inches)
Absolutely Love your style, in furniture design, video editing, and voice over work(& design graphics), don’t change a thing. I feel that your evaluation(valuing) of your work is spot on and would happily pay if in my budget. But I’m just a laborer with a penchant for woodworking myself, so I look towards your work for inspiration. All my best to you.
Gorgeous table. Beautiful wood selection, beautiful design, beautiful execution. I particularly loved the way you aligned the grain on the central hubs. I wish I had the skills and tools to build something similar, or the budget to afford to buy your stuff. Instead, I'll keep watching, admiring, and learning. Oh, and the graphics are great additions to the videos. Makes the whole production pop.
Skills are developed through repetition, and the same results can be achieved with far less modern tools. The only way to improve is through effort, and effort is merely the result of desire. If you want to build, do so. Even if you fail to produce something salable, gaining knowledge is never a failing endeavor. Maybe your second or third try could end with better results. Never look down upon the skills you have, but recognize that you can always get better. I encourage everyone to at least try.
love the what you just said.@@OneTruePhreak
BEST video ever. Chris' manner of speaking over the action makes watching these videos rather entertaining as well as informative. Subbed.
Beautiful. Great graphics. Hilarious customer reaction.
Thank you :)
Before watching this video, I decided to heat up my lunch in the microwave. I went with 1 minute 43 seconds. That wasn't quite enough, so I did another 17 seconds and now it's perfect. Great video by the way.
I would have suggested a first ride at 1:44 for button pushing efficiency....but to each their own :)
@@Foureyes.Furniture 99 is pretty efficient, button-wise (beats 1:39).
I favor the button that adds a minute and starts all in one go. Hit it again and you have up to two minutes. Just pull the door open when you think it’s done. 😂
Push|Push|Pull ✅
I'm an architect and amateur (very) woodworker, and love your videos. Funny, informative, just very good. Top banana.
Well, I personally love the six legged design, the eight would suit a much larger table. But the finished table is exquisite. Little sad not to see an extending version, but your explanation of the issues was very detailed. Overall great video. Thank you.
As an amateur woodworker, I really enjoy your videos. Most woodworking channels are informative but feel kinda formal and humorless. They look alike too. Yours is different. Subbing! Peace!
Love your stuff man. Always. Working on the deskquire and almost completed it. Videos are stellar as well. Thanks for the inspiration, hope to be done and send you guys the results of the deskquire soon. Oh and don’t pay attention to the noise.
Nice...we look forward to seeing it. Hope it turns out great!
Wow, I have to say, your woodworking skills are absolutely incredible! The table you've created is nothing short of breathtaking. The attention to detail, the precision of your cuts, and the overall craftsmanship truly showcase your artistry as a woodworker.
But it's not just your woodworking skills that impress me; your narration of the video accompanying the woodworking is captivating. Your ability to explain each step, the techniques used, and the thought process behind your decisions demonstrates a deep understanding of your craft. You have a true talent for storytelling, and it adds an extra layer of enjoyment to the experience of watching your work come to life.
Moreover, your video exhibits a wonderful sense of humor and creativity. The way you inject lighthearted moments and clever jokes into the woodworking process shows that you have a unique personality and an ability to connect with your audience on a personal level. It's evident that you not only have a passion for woodworking but also a knack for entertaining and engaging others through your videos.
Overall, your talent as a woodworker, your artistry, your narration skills, and your ability to infuse humor and creativity into your videos make you a true standout in the woodworking community. Keep up the fantastic work, and I can't wait to see what incredible creations you'll come up with next!
This is an amazing table! your videos are great and helpful to those of us trying to get better at woodworking! Thanks.
I'm thinking you could theoretically make a table that looks good both round and extended with some clever use of bookmatching
that would require a slab thick enough for four slices though
That table is beautiful. I would agree it's one of the best pieces you've made.
The graphics do really help to visualize the concepts you are talking about. The amount of detail that goes into your editing is something that separates you from most other creators. The video itself is as much of a piece of art as the things you are building.
For the record, the graphics you use are a big reason ive subscribed to your channel for years. Its different and adds alot of clarity with your explinations and has helped me learn and improve as a woodworker.
Your drawings ALWAYS add to the experience and the lessons you have to impart.
I'm not a huge fan of circular tables per se but this piece is absolutely gorgeous and I would be so thrilled to own something as beautiful as this. 🥰
Hide this table from duddly boys of wwe or else they will use it in their tag team matches 😂😂
Just had to like your comment for using "per se" correctly and not spelling is "per say." I may have been reading too much amateur fiction lately...
As a connoisseur of the interwebs, it's always great to find channels like this... where the creator has a passion for something completely unrelated to entertainment, but then also has a passion for putting out a great product on this platform too, and we get results like this. Well done.
Dude - I've been excited to see this base come together for over a month, and it didn't disappoint! Well done (the top is nice too obvi)!
Also, trying to imagine Dolores's face when she sees you calling her a "tool" lol I suppose following up with calling yourself a tool might soften the blow a bit haha
Honestly one of my favorite videos to date by 1 metric butt load 😂
Super awesome design and perfect execution.
Good job 👍🏽
Nice...that's a full 160 dominos of liking above the rest :)
About a foot long.
I love your graphics and your entire way of presenting! I think you're the most natural conversationalist I've come across on TH-cam, and the easy way you talk to us like we're standing right there makes your videos enjoyable even when I can't watch them and I'm only listening. I also love how purely honest you are. You never gloss over the hard parts, you don't pretend to love the tedium, you don't run from your mistakes or let them harsh your chill past what they're due. I think we'd all agree, you're clearly well past smart, not even sharing a zip code with pretentiousness and anxiety can f'off stopping by daily for tea. You know who and what really matters and you keep that list tight. Which leaves you even keel and chill. Bottom line, your talent as a creator absolutely ranks among the TH-camrs who deserve to say that the world's a little better place because they make a living on social media.
I was confused by the clients reaction at the end. Was that the actual moment they saw the finished version for the first time? Did they like it?
I want to know the same thing.
It's a skit, they liked it
Thank you
I've watched a ton of your videos and I have to agree, I think this is one of the nicest things you've made. Probably my favorite of all of your projects. I really like the leg design and minimal epoxy usage which highlights the wood more than the plastic. I enjoy the graphics and illustrations, I think these, and well you explain your design process, help to set you apart from other woodworkers.
Wow, thank you! Really appreciate the kind words :)
What about epoxy for the two stright edges of the center piece regarding the extendable table option? Then you can have connected wood grain when closed and it doesn't look bad either when extended
I agree this is one of the best pieces you've built so far, and man, what an evolution has it been. Not that it was bad in the beginning, it was already very cool and good looking projects, it's just that I could not forsee that you had a lot left to improve in terms of craftmanship and design. Anyway, nice job making, scripting and filming. Cheers.
The last five seconds... 😇
Well done, Chris. Now I'm wondering about my pores.
They are small...don't stress about it :)
At around 8:34 of the video, I already loved the table. Have you thought about making one witha smoked borosilicate glass edge?
The watermelon graphic really made the difference for me.
I did it for Gallager :)
You were right, the base stole the show. Incredible work. Let's see a pac-man and ghost inlay on a future build. 😂
100% gonna do that
@@Foureyes.Furniture you REALLY should... maybe an arcade cabinet? lol
You have been the inspiration for me setting up a TH-cam channel and making it just as much about entertainment as informational, so I was so pleased when my video started appearing as suggested content at the end of this video! Life goals ✅
The base design, specifically the shape of the legs, is very similar to something I would doodle; and have many times. This is one of my favorite designs of yours. I very much like it. 26:15: Why only twenty years? This strikes me as an heirloom piece. Being no more an armchair enthusiast of all things woodworking (I’ve built a few boxes, shelves, and a couple of tables from very basic big box materials), I’d think this would last far longer. The materials, construction, and hardware seem up to snuff; even given the use case.
Given the financial resources required to buy such spectacular custom furniture, it’s likely that 20 years after acquiring the table, it would pass on to the owner’s heirs.
that 7 whole inches joke killed me.
Hi. The brush attachment to the drill at 7:30. Looks fantastic for cleaning out the cracks! Would you recall where you purchased it from?
I did a bit more research. I think the brushes are called nyalox brushes if anyone else is interested in an answer.
Love the graphic add ins. The design is stunning. Great attention to the finer details is what makes it an heirloom piece!!
I don't know why this turned up on my TH-cam, but I'm glad it did. My father was a high-end furniture maker, and i think he would have been blown away by the equipment you have! He made some wonderful pieces of furniture, so it's lovely to watch your craftsmanship. Oh, and i like the graphics too! Greetings from the UK.
Incredible table build. Great video. We have a gate-leg 7 foot ellipse table we love, had up to 13 people squeezed around it.
Randomly bumped into your channel, but hey this is true work of art! I have seen custom made tables, but this one is really special. The base of the table is impecable ! complete crazy those clients to give away such an artwork for a pill shaped table.
Stunning finished product! My only critique, if you will, is the squarish ends of the base where they meet the top (as seen at 28:29). I would have made the radius flow all the way up to the top.
Another thought I had when you were talking about jigs is - maybe utilize the cnc for making jigs. As a former cnc programmer and operator, I know this is often a "6 of one, half dozen of another" on time spent so it really comes down to how efficient you are at programming etc.
wow! these videos always amaze me. seeing the details and complications of the work, and then the finished product. it’s all so educational and entertaining. this table really is stunning
I love the way you break down the price on everything and your attention to detail is amazing
Arguably, this is the best woodworking video I've ever watched - engineer/amateur-woodworker.
Wow. Thank you. 🙏🏻😊
We already purchased this on Amazon, but wish I had used your link! Informative video, all useful content with no filler! thanks for putting your time into it!
STUNNING! I absolutely love this table! The entire table, top to bottom. I even love the bandaids! I actually think they would look good on top! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talent. You put a huge effort into these videos and that is probably an understatement.
What black dye are you using for the small bug hole pours? How is the black not staining into the unprotected wood? Is it and ink or a dye? Pls lmk thanks
This is one of the best works of art and craftsmanship I've ever seen.
i used to work somewhere with a CNC router. It always cut all the way through the boards we used. Is the blade not long enough to cut all the way through the wood or do you prefer to cut manually afterwards? What would be the benefit for that?
Beautiful work! Wondering if you have a high level rule for how wide the base should be (to avoid tipping / too much wobbling) relative to the side of the top.
How much of a difference does the tuck tape over the melamine make for the epoxy mold? Is it as good as just using melamine with mold release?
You’ve reached another level here.
Seriously, If I saw this in someone’s house (the entire table, including the base), I would stop where I was to look at it and say things like, Whatever you paid, it was worth it.
Dude, I totally subscribed for your editing style and the graphics for which you use. But also because I love your work and humor.
Hola, que tipo de acabado utilizan? Es aceite, barniz o cera? Gracias
I am making a two slab live edge table and after running them both through the planar and joining them, I have one corner that is slightly bowed up maybe 1/8". Would c channel straighten that out? Also the legs I'm using have a steel base that will span most of the width. Do you think the combo of both would flatten out the slight warp?
Beautiful Table You really show just how much time and effort goes into a custom project like this well done
