This was perfect as a vanity desk for me. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxMAlHv7-BBWMrPRm5-uEoD6rtdT7SG2Qr Especially the glossy finish. Easy to cleanI was looking for something that wasn't the traditional white and with more of a modern feel. This fit the bill beautifully. I put it together with no problems, by myself in under an hour.Make sure you double check where you place the drawer tracks before screwing down. I had one track that needed to be aligned with different holes than the rest.
I think the thing I enjoy most about your videos, aside from the really clean and modern pieces you make, has got to be how deliberate everything is. There's a deliberate considered pace to your narrating the videos, there's a very methodical process for all of the shots of the various cuts you make. It's incredibly relaxing to watch.
I'd love to see you involve your son in the videos or a project, a child is like a sponge, they hold so much and as a kid I loved helping my dad build, and with a son of my own I see the enjoyment my son gets out of helping me.
Classic Chris right here, loving the precision cuts and the clean shots, not to mention the "I'm busy but not that busy" parenting and NPR voice wittyness. Two thumbs up.
Hey Chris! I have a tip for you that you might find helpful or useful. When using a router (handheld, trim, table) rotate counter clockwise when routing exterior edges (table and counter tops) and clockwise on inside or interior edges (sink cut-out). When using a table, same applies, just rotate the wood or work piece counter clockwise on exterior edges and rotate it clockwise for interior edges. There's a few reasons for doing this. Helps with blow out and tear out. Helps keep control of the router but most importantly it will keep your router bits sharp because of their design. I put the sink example above because that's how I was taught to remember it. Picture a rectangular counter top with a circle cut out in the middle for a sink. We go counter clockwise on outside or exterior edges and clockwise around the sink hole or interior edges. I learned to remember it as clockwise around the clock (circle sink cut out) Best of luck, keep up the great content. Love the podcast by the way and what You, Mike, and Ben have created!
Hey Marc...good tips. It's funny, when I'm using the table router, I usually do rotate the piece counter clock-wise when I go around curves on the outside. I didn't know I should, but I think I do it b/c it just feels right ergonomically for some reason. Using a handheld router, I never even though about rotating. But I will keep it in mind.
I had a router destroy a piece on me one time and I ask someone how they have so much control and they explained it to me, especially with trim bits for coping templates or trimming laminate. Thanks for the reply!!
The production level of your videos Chris are insanely good, the intelligence behind how you mix background music, perfectly filmed hd story telling video shots and your smart introspective narration dubbed over the top is extremely high... well done!! Love watching your vidoes. Thankyou.
Thanks Patrick...I'm glad people think so. It would be way quicker to not do a lot of the stuff I do - but I figure since I'm only building the project once...might as well get as much from it as I can :)
I love how you talk through the process and show how to make it….. not just show wood cutting like other video creators. I’m going to make this…. And think of a creative name for it…. Key table….. or walk by the table
I really love the style of your videos and your approach to wood working. Meticulous, methodical, and passionate. Your videos are incredibly soothing to watch and remind me that woodworking shouldn't be rushed. Thank you for making "working with your hands" cool again.
I watch your videos when i need to relax after a long week OR when my baby wakes up at 3am in the morning (like right now!). Excellent work! Keep it up!
Beautiful, clean hall, sofa, coffee, dining, etc table. Great clean lines, simple joinery & the walnut wood is a great choice. Once again, great video!
I’m from Singapore and I really want to learn woodworking but it’s pretty hard to get around it over here. But watching your videos and all the projects that you’ve made so far, made me not give up on the idea and hopefully I get to make some furnitures myself. I love what you’re doing and it’s always enjoyable watching these videos. So thank you!
My day can't get any better, first of all, it's Friday, and thanks to that, today I'll eat my favorite salad, going to buy it I get the notification that Chris uploaded a new video, and the long ones! Thanks Chris, btw, excellent video, as always! ☺️
The more I watch your videos, the more details I notice! The cinematography is incredible, I deeply appreciate your efforts in the quality, attention to detail, and information throughout each one!
Anytime I post a video, I'll immediately get about 3 thumbs down - I think I have three people out there who really dislike me and have a notification that they're always ready to pounce on.
Thanks Sonny...I did too. The only thing I wish I could have done better for that one was use a lower frame rate, it was so bright I had to set my shutter speed at like 1/500th of a second, so it doesn't have that smooth look
Beautiful project. Love this design and the grain on that front piece of walnut is fantastic! I like the way you let the wood speak for itself. No fancy twiddly bits to distract the eye. Keep it up, you inspire me to get into my own projects with a lot more confidence and enthusiasm. Thanks for that.
Very nice piece Chris. Simple elegant and modern. I could see this in a furniture line and doing very well. It's style can transcend many different design aesthetics. I like the return to your "roots" in your film making. Wonderful job. Hope you and the family have a wonderful thanksgiving.
Two questions on tools - the measuring tool @1:40 and the flush trim saw you use at around @3.40 - do you have exact names for those or where you got them? Thanks!
Yeah, the measuring tool has a link in the description to amazon. The hand saw I thought was amazon...but I can't find it in my order history for some reason...so I might be wrong.
Not gonna lie, mid-century style furniture isn't my favored style. Your videos on the other hand are some of the best on youtube. I love your editing, subtle soundtrack, voice over, and of course that little bit wisdom you share each video. Thank you.
Really dig this one, man! Love the classic Foureyes feel for sure. It’s interesting how different your Walnut looks compared to my air dried Black Walnut. Mine has a lot more purple tones to it.
Interesting...The piece I used for the top on this one actually has a grey-ish hue. I really like it, but it's a lot less warm than what I typically get.
Hi Chris How are you? All your projects are amazing and beautiful too. I´m watching always yours projects and seeing your ability and talent. Congratulation again.
I really like your style in building. I wish that you had a T-shirt that had you four eyes logo on it to help support your channel that way and get your word out too.
I would be really interested in seeing a video where you show us more of the design process and what it looks like when you're making your next piece. Do you scout the hardwood store to see what is in stock, get inspired? Do you make any scale models? Sketches or 3d software? Do you consider limitations you might have due to your own abilities or available tools? Thanks, and always great work!
If you could do a video using just the beginner tools it would be SO COOL. Most of us don't have what you have and feel discouraged because of it, it'd be nice to see all the possibilities.
I made it my mission to watch everyone of your videos!! So just know that I'm gonna pop in from time to time on a random a$$ video from 2 years ago and still commenting on how cool all your stuff is!!! Dirty Jersey out!!

Thanks Michael...appreciate it
Absolutely. The blatant Cubs support is also a plus. Keep up the great work!
Quite possibly the best produced, smartest, funniest maker channel out there. And all this balancing a job and a family. Just flat out bad ass Chris.
Thanks Zach...appreciate it :)
I found your channel today and watched a handful of your videos. The video quality combined with the soft guitar notes is really a joy to watch.
Thanks gopher....glad you found me and that you're enjoying them :)
I'd love to see you involve your son in the videos or a project, a child is like a sponge, they hold so much and as a kid I loved helping my dad build, and with a son of my own I see the enjoyment my son gets out of helping me.
I would like to do that at some point. He's pitched in a little in a few of them...but he is still a little young (4 1/2 years old).
My son is nearly four, keep it safe and as long as they are helping you can see the joy in their eye of helping out and being included.
Gorgeous hall/sofa/coffee/valet table!!
haha....thanks thanks thanks and thanks
Beautiful. This is a timeless classic, even before it has been handed down to the next generation......
:)
Classic foureyes content, both visually and audibly. Some good chuckles in there.
:)
Classic Chris right here, loving the precision cuts and the clean shots, not to mention the "I'm busy but not that busy" parenting and NPR voice wittyness. Two thumbs up.
Thanks Jared. Back to basics :)
Good to see you working with walnut again!
it's my old faithful :)

It's impressive to see this work of this perfectionist and realize that everyone had to start at some point in not such perfect fashion.
I love how you talk through the process and show how to make it….. not just show wood cutting like other video creators. I’m going to make this…. And think of a creative name for it…. Key table….. or walk by the table
Love the video. I generally like shorter video, but you have a way of keeping me wanting more. The longer format fits you.
Thanks Rookie :)
I really love the style of your videos and your approach to wood working. Meticulous, methodical, and passionate. Your videos are incredibly soothing to watch and remind me that woodworking shouldn't be rushed. Thank you for making "working with your hands" cool again.
Thanks Joshua :)
I watch your videos when i need to relax after a long week OR when my baby wakes up at 3am in the morning (like right now!). Excellent work! Keep it up!
Nice...glad I could provide a moment of calm.
Glad to see you back Chris.
I'm loving the return to more complicated hard wood pieces!
Thanks!
one of your best!
Oh Ben....stop it :)
Really nice somewhere table!
I wish I was this creative. It is as always a beautiful peace of furniture. Greetings from the Netherlands and thank you
Thanks Frits...greetings from the US
Beautiful, clean hall, sofa, coffee, dining, etc table. Great clean lines, simple joinery & the walnut wood is a great choice. Once again, great video!
Thanks Fran :)
chris the king of walnut!!!
If that's the case I should start getting it for free :)
I can't help but hear George Costanza screaming CASEBRA in my head right now.. totally could have been in a Seinfeld episode. Amazing build again!!
Maybe they'll bring it back for this one story line :)
Keep crushing it Dave.
haha...the man has a gift
Exquisite as always Chris!
Don't forget about side tables.
all the tables man.
Love your projects, especially this one. The piece of lumber on the front of the drawer. I love that sap wood.
Thanks Jon...yeah, adds some character and "organic-ness" (for lack of a better word) to the shape which is very angular.
I’m from Singapore and I really want to learn woodworking but it’s pretty hard to get around it over here. But watching your videos and all the projects that you’ve made so far, made me not give up on the idea and hopefully I get to make some furnitures myself.

Hey! Thank you :)
That is really cool. Glad that these videos are able to help you out.
My day can't get any better, first of all, it's Friday, and thanks to that, today I'll eat my favorite salad, going to buy it I get the notification that Chris uploaded a new video, and the long ones! Thanks Chris, btw, excellent video, as always! ☺️
Thanks! Sounds like everything is coming up Fernando :)
This was the woodworking video I didn't know I needed. Well done, Chris!
haha...Thanks Greg.
Another great story Chris. Love how you come up with these amazing designs and then tell the story of it's assembly. Amazing.
Thansk Shaun :)
I came for the build, but I stayed for the narrative. Have you ever looked at the Miller dowel system - great solution for visible fixings?
Just checked it out...interesting. Does it only come in the one species?
I bought a bundle which included 1 pack each of birch, oak and walnut.
Chris, it's another very easy to follow , quiet, entertaining video mate. Thank you. Don
Thanks Don!
Beautifull piece! Congratulations. Regards from Argentina.
Thanks! Greetings from the US
Your sense of humor is awesome!!!
Beautiful Design. Looks great!
Thanks Dan
Very nice piece. But I have to say your video shots and music choice combined with your relaxed way of speaking makes this video a must watch.
Thanks Paul
The more I watch your videos, the more details I notice! The cinematography is incredible, I deeply appreciate your efforts in the quality, attention to detail, and information throughout each one!
Dave is my hero! Thanks Chris great video and nice looking "hall" table.
He's a good man...that's why the put him in storage naming
Very nice project. Greetings from Brazil
Love Love Love it, Chris. I looking at building a sofa table here soon. Your design is an inspiration for me.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Felix :)
This was so calming and enjoyable to watch :)
Thanks Natasha
Beautiful project, really like the feel of it. I have to say that I think this video had some of my favorite humor though, fantastic.
-Caleb Harris
Thanks Caleb
#casebra
Nice work Chris!!
:)
Chris, nice job!
Hey Todd...Thanks :)
Great build man. I like the plugs covering the screws. Mid-century meets Craftsman. I like it.
Thanks Josh
why would anyone unlike...loved it. Great work.
Anytime I post a video, I'll immediately get about 3 thumbs down - I think I have three people out there who really dislike me and have a notification that they're always ready to pounce on.
Great job
Great Job as usual. Loved the up close pull saw shots.
Thanks Sonny...I did too. The only thing I wish I could have done better for that one was use a lower frame rate, it was so bright I had to set my shutter speed at like 1/500th of a second, so it doesn't have that smooth look

Thanks Peter....appreciate it!
Outstanding as always. Thanks
Thanks Riaan
Absolutely beautiful table!!
Way better than the bed! That is an inspiring project ;)
Thanks Gregoire :)
I like your curve radius template. It is truly "Quarter round"...
Indeed it is :)
Your project always makes me happy and smile. Thank you Chris !!
Thanks Sean...appreciate it!
Amazing as always, thumbs up!
:)
Very nice piece Chris. Simple elegant and modern. I could see this in a furniture line and doing very well. It's style can transcend many different design aesthetics. I like the return to your "roots" in your film making. Wonderful job. Hope you and the family have a wonderful thanksgiving.
Thanks Pat...appreciate it. Same to you and yours :)
Very nicely planned and produced Chris. Aesthetics are beautiful here. Thank you for the inspiration. Have a nice afternoon!

now I'm embarrassed that I was too dumb to just look in the description. thanks for the tip
so so good!!!
:)
thank you Chris for the effort that you put into these videos
Thanks Nicholas :)
Love this project!
Thanks :)

Thanks Carl :)
Absolutely gorgeous. 👍
Impressive as always, love the podcast as well!
Thanks! :)

Nice! Just started looking into hardwoods! Luckily I live close to the largest bandsaw
Mill in Canada! This piece is beautiful!
Thanks Brendan...and if that's not reason enough to get into it, then I don't know what is
Awesome video. Great looking table!
Great build! I enjoyed watching you edit that photo in PS as well.
Thanks...I thought people might get a kick out of that :)
great content and thanks for the 2 months of skillshare!
Thanks Jordan :)
Really dig this one, man! Love the classic Foureyes feel for sure. It’s interesting how different your Walnut looks compared to my air dried Black Walnut. Mine has a lot more purple tones to it.

Damn you that looks fantastic! Well done sir!
Thanks Tarek
Freaking incredible video and table - as usual. Thanks for posting, Chris!
Thanks for watching brandon :)

Congratulation again.
Thanks Allan...appreciate it :)
Love this channel. Keep it up! Philosophy and all. I like your humour.
Thanks Roy
I love your work, and vids, Zen woodworking at it's best
Awesome job, really enjoy your work!!!
Thanks Hugo
Nice new tools! Nicely done project.

I love the piece and really enjoyed watching the video, thank you!
Thanks :)
Funny ending mate, made me chuckle. Nice job chris, I loved the hall table.
:)
Thanks for the free trial bruh :o
Take advantage of it :)
Already did! I learned a little about Adobe Premiere and made my first video this morning!
Awesome project!
Nice video!!!
Casebra is definitely more creative that "hall table" lol. Enjoyed! - Jim
:)
I really like your style in building. I wish that you had a T-shirt that had you four eyes logo on it to help support your channel that way and get your word out too.
Hey Chad...I do have them. I don't sell them though. They are only for my Patreon supporters. www.patreon.com/chrissalomone

Thanks Abel...I may be doing more of this sort of things next year...figuring some stuff out :)
Haha! I was thinking exactly that when you joked about the nail gun. I was blowing out my own ear drums earlier. Really nice build btw!
Thanks Karl
Takes me back to the good ol' days....a yr and a half ago.;) wish it was 84 on new york.lol
simpler times my friend
Another great video! Keep it up!
Cool !
If you could do a video using just the beginner tools it would be SO COOL. Most of us don't have what you have and feel discouraged because of it, it'd be nice to see all the possibilities.
Got my 2 free months, thanks! Ok.. back to the video. Oh and table is cool too! lol.
Nice Matt...take advantage of it :-)
Awesome! Thank you for this great video and fantastic job!
I made it my mission to watch everyone of your videos!! So just know that I'm gonna pop in from time to time on a random a$$ video from 2 years ago and still commenting on how cool all your stuff is!!! Dirty Jersey out!!
No problem there. Just glad that people care enough to go back through the catalog :)
I laughed every time you said "casebra". Good stuff...
:) - I'm sure it'll work its way into the vernacular now!
So cool to read your comment Tamar!! Love your channel too!! You both are my go-to when I get lazy and need a jump start.
