    About this video:
    This is not a typical woodworking tips video. Instead of just listing a bunch of tips with no context, I took a relatively boring piece…and transformed it into something beautiful, by highlighting some tips, tricks…and design secrets that I use all the time in my furniture. And hopefully you'll come away with some valuable insights that you can use on your projects.

      Fyi, for future reference: instead of having to mess up your building with the spill over on your end grain from the black dye incident; you can use a bleaching agent (Lye, Bleach, and vinegar) all work on wood to help draw out the black dye from light woods. Then you can use a heat gun to dry the wood back out again. Just note, the darker the stain, the more these products wont help. Furthermore, clear nail polish helps too. If you cover the end cap of the intended location before you apply the resin then it won’t seep over, sand afterwards to remove the polish. Or you can simply apply a super thin coat of clear epoxy first and sand that before adding the black epoxy. That way the end grain soaks in the clear epoxy first before it tries to soak in the black dye. Either way. Multiple fixes and preps before you went and butchered it. Maybe you need a workshop think tank. Designs A+, tips and tricks B- 😂

    I have spent my entire career in aerospace engineering. You clearly think like an engineer does. Slow, steady, methodical, never in a hurry. That is how great things are built. I bet when you were 10, you took apart something in your house to see how it worked, or to fix something that was broken. Every engineer shares this story.

      Engineers and designers share a common methodological approach to solving complex problems and creating innovative solutions. While their specializations and ultimate goals may differ, the collaboration and integration of different perspectives are essential for creating products and systems that effectively meet user needs. When I was young, I used to think that one day I would invent something, and based on my knowledge, I associated that with engineering. Years later, I discovered design. The technical aspect of design takes into account numerous methodologies that depend on the intrinsic knowledge of how it will be manufactured. From assembly lines to part breakdowns, tools, drillings, router bits, etc. Regardless of the manufacturing method, whether industrial production or handmade, during the design phase the same tools are often used, such as SolidWorks and parametric design.

      when you actually make stuff, the design is foremost, engineering is secondary, but considered. An old boss once said "we ain't building bridges". I was working as a set builder/prop maker at the time.

      @BarreiraLuis 7 днів тому +1

      @@karizma8175 , Well, I don't produce furniture without a technical drawing. It's not a matter of inability; it's a matter of rigor. It's about having a complete piece of furniture in every aspect: design, 3D modeling and manufacturing, which allows anyone in their respective role to understand it or produce it. This also allows for better utilization of materials, time and money management within the established workflow listed step by step, and improved budgeting. This way, you minimize errors and safeguard material parts for potential corrections in all situations marked as critical during the construction phase. Then, you start doing the opposite and create your technical drawing through reverse engineering, considering how it's made, the final product, and deconstructing joints to verify the feasibility of your sketch idea.

    Yeah, get over it. You're far more than "an average woodworker". I've learned a lot from you, and I've been doing this - hobbyist, pro, then hobby again, then pro again (meaning, I'm getting for-real paid for the work) - for about 45 years off and on. I've got ~200 cabins, 1 house, dozens of refurbs, about 200 sets of bunk beds, and just in the last year or so, about 50 customer projects. So... hush up about beating yourself up. You're precise, you're patient, you're very attentive and instructive, etc. That's who you are to be teaching people. :)

    I've been a hobbyist woodworker for about 30 years and I've come to realize that the only REAL reason I do it is to come to terms with the radical acceptance necessary in a world that is never perfect. It forces me to slow down, accept, and see beauty - usually even more so when things go 'wrong'. I love how you always highlight that and lean into it. Also, you are not average. Not in any sense of the word. Accept it - I'm a therapist, I know these things. :)

    It's tremendously reassuring to know that a professional with years of experience still makes the same measuring/cutting mistakes I make as a student. In my woodworking classes and during my internships in woodshops I've been surrounded by people who don't make these specific mistakes, or very rarely, and I've been feeling down as my final year nears its end because I felt like I didn't have "the brain" for the craft. Genuinely thought I was an idiot at times. I'm constantly cutting things too short and if I don't plan out every single step the whole project's a mess, same as you. Watching you f*ck up the exact same way I know I would has comforted me so much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this video.

    Love the cometary on the fix and people not noticing. I’m the person that will examine and maybe find it. Assuming that’s whay I watch… anyways. I grew up in a house made with furniture by an amazing woodworker. He was a friend of the family and would give decent prices to my family who were the type to buy fancy things. I even ended up spending time with him in the shop when I was really too young to do anything, but I just absorbed so much, like a sponge. And Let Me Tell You!!! He had mistakes all over the place, but he was amazing at fixing them. They either were magically invisible or would become charming details. When I learned this I would start examining the family pieces from him even more and finding the mistakes that no one in my family saw. It was like a treasure hunt and everyone I found made me love the furniture more. He is long passed now and every one of those little scars makes me remember him as him and not the furniture. If I was to pick one from my parents house, I would probably look for one of the ones with the most fixes, because at the end of the day, the woodworking, design and actual wood in these pieces are all just amazing, but the flawed ones just have a little human element from the hands who made them. RIP Dave.

    I find it hard to believe that someone working on their own can write, direct and create a video to such an incredibly high level......... and they're an accomplished woodworker. Honestly, the flow/rhythm of this video is so professional. The elements of humour are outstanding.

    call me boring…but this is one of my favorite pieces you’ve built/designed. i’ve also been pretty tired of the slab + epoxy processes taking over YT, so it’s really nice to see it done in a nuanced way. great work. these videos have not helped my woodworking, but have helped my creative process and mental state. thank you so much.

    Hi Chris. Wie die meisten habe ich meine Möbel mit Hartwaxöl versiegelt und habe mich immer geärgert über Flecken von Gläsern oder Teller usw. Nach einigen Versuchen bin ich jetzt auf ein Finisch umgestiegen mit dem ich mehr als zufrieden bin.
    Xyladecor Holzschutz Grundierung (bringt die Maserung und die Farbe des Holzes schön zur Geltung) und Xyladecor Holzschutz Lasur Plus zum Versiegeln. Beides Farblos. Mit der Rolle aufgetragen ergibt es ein wunderschönes Ergebnis. Atmungsaktiv und Wasserfest. Danke für deine wunderbaren lehrreichen Videos. Alles gute für Dich und Deine Familie. Go on👍😀

    This is one of my favorite videos yet. your designs are great and this video immediately inspired me to change my design on a project that I'm about to start. Its a simple built-in pantry cabinet with a counter top and now its gonna have a slab as a focal point for the counter top instead of butcher block. Thanks! looking forward to the next video as always! SECRET FINISH!!!!

    Chris, you're not a fraud, that's your learning and doing process. I asked the question of Charles Neil about types of wood in the build and he told me the value of the piece increases using the same labor by using more interesting wood! I taught anger management and I was my best pupil. Finally realized the accidents in my work are my next steps in design. Like cutting the bottom of a precious wood heritage box I was making for a patron. Turned out better after I calmed myself and engaged brain. "Murphy Design!" The last thing about your "Fix!" Damn you're good!" Other people will see the finished piece through their eyes and I've had this many times. Thanks for discussing your process in creating.

    I love that you are not dramatic in any way - haha. Really, I do love the feel of your videos. You are an excellent craftsman - design and execution. This cabinet is beautiful, warts and all. And nobody would've noticed the fixes had you not told us. The power of video and editing at its best. I will give this project a thumbs up for a job well done. 👍

  • @LowkeyLoki16

    i actually really like seeing your mistakes, i honestly think it makes you more than an average woodworker :)
    both because of the old "what not to do" but also mistakes and narration like you give are useful to learning how this all works because we get to see your thought process, how the mistakes happen, and either how to correct them, or when, like with the live edge direction screw up, the mistake means just making a new part the right way. i like seeing how people learn from themselves, because i learn from people learning. it's more, visible and tangible if that makes sense, and i always feel like i learn more like that. seeing small fixes in the finished product, only because you know the fix is there, shows how it's done right and you give me a lot of ideas for making the things i want to make, even if i never sell them or want to start a business, because i simply enjoy concepting and saving things to make for myself in the future

    • @Foureyes.Furniture
      @Foureyes.Furniture  5 днів тому +1

      I appreciate that. It's funny because 90% of the mistakes seem to be situations where you know what to do, and 99% of the time you do it right...it's just this time you didn't. Like cutting the shelf short. It's actually pretty rare that mistakes like the stained end grain come about...where, I literally didn't know I was making a mistake until the dust settled. I really like including those in the videos as notes to myself for the future. I figure if I edit an entire chunk of video about that...I'm (hopefully) more likely to think about it next time.

    I always loved your designs. But they have always hated how long the videos were however I still revisit all of those types every now and again. Great tips overall. Awesome design. This is suited for a longer video, others weren’t. And ty for sharing with this as now my mind is spinning on how I can make a personal project of mine that I couldn’t quite figure out due to cost. Pretty awesome. Ty

    I think I started woodworking at the same age as you, Chris, but I’m a lot older than you, so 30+ years all told. I’m already a subscriber to your channel (and a few other woodworking channels), but this is the single best woodworking video I have ever seen, not because of the featured piece, but because of your awesome walkthrough of your process of design, making, and especially error corrections. Outstanding, couldn’t disagree with a single thing you said.
