As woodworkers we often make mistakes. The difference between an amateur and a professional is how well the mistake is fixed.
This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.
Right on, man! Thanks for the shoutout! The base (and the entire piece) looks awesome, too. Juggling custom work with making videos is a tough one, I can't imagine having kids and a full-time job, as well.
Great video Chris! I really appreciate you breaking down all the ways that you felt you failed, some solid teachable moments!
I appreciate the humility as well as the transparency. Other makers sometimes forget to address process and purpose altogether, so it's really nice when someone puts it front and center (and does it well).
I know I'm typically my worst critic as well, but honestly, I think the piece came out great! I respect the hell out of the fact that you wouldn't let it leave your shop without your final stamp of approval. That takes integrity. Either way, there is something to be said about learning from your "mistakes."
I agree with you completely! However I do feel that he is being way too hard on himself. It did turn out great and I am sure the client would have been thrilled with it. Yes a few changes could be made on the "next one" but overall great job! I am also picky on my projects but you have to be realistic that your client will not be as nick picky as you are
@William I found this website online that will give you a ton of woodworking plans: WoodFix.xyz
Let me know what you think of it.
Genius
Boa noite mansa seu projeto pra mim
Chris, thank you for your perspective on woodworking. I know this community is better for it. Thank you
Thanks man.
The whole time I was watching this, I was thinking this is the most beautiful console table I've seen, then you go and call it a failure. Made me love it even more.
haha...thanks man. Love it for all it's flaws :)
Exactly,
As a maker you will always see things at the end result that no one else will see. We tend to call these mistakes but in reality it is usually just something that did not meet our own expectations of the outcome. Another beautiful creation as well as a worthwhile content upload. Thank you for sharing your time and experience with us.
I love the design. I very much appreciate hearing your 'issues' within the process but it's a great looking piece of work, never the less. Cheers for sharing.
So modern yet old style 👌
When I went to joinery college 25 years ago, we weren't allowed to use one scrap of sand paper (or power tools for that matter). I used to curse the hours spent hand planing, sight stick /square checking, rejected joints and in general the redoing of work that had taken me hours to complete. Hell, we even had to plane off pencil marks! How I longed to just use power tools like I was using doing site carpentry during my day job... oh to use a belt sander or a bench saw. But 2 years of suffering paid off. You can't beat a hand planed finish for shine. Hand cutting and chiselling joints avoids all break outs and allows for some pretty complicated jointing techniques. However, I'm no Luddite, and use power tools all the time depending on the project and admire your drive for perfection. I just wanted to suggest that my Teachers may be correct in their insistence that perfection only comes when you master your hand skills and train your eye. They also started the first lesson by stating " You lot know F#&K all"... hard but fair though, hard but fair.
Keep up the good work and the learning journey.
as a wood worker myself. I love your video! its so true that if there is something not quite right about the piece its hard to justify selling it to a client. definitely not a failure, so many lessons learned and to be honest it really did turn out beautiful. you are an amazing wood worker. I hope some day to have skills like you.
Love, love, love the angled "grabs." Daring choice (which really works) to feature that knot so well. One of my favorite pieces of yours. Thanks for giving me some joy and inspiration this evening!
Nice looking table Chris! Man, I have such tool and clamp envy everytime I watch one of your videos! Need to start building my collection so I can expand my projects...
Thanks. You’ll get there. Just take it one piece at a time.
Love it Chris, I normally leave the longer videos until "I get time to watch them" but this one really hooked me! Great insight into the ups and downs at the end, interesting hearing you guys talk in through on the podcast too. Great video and great project, thank you!!
I’m 70 years old this year. Perfection: All we can do is approach perfection. Enjoy your your hiccups. Your on your way! Outstanding workmanship. Bob
Thanks Bob...appreciate it :)
As an academic designer, this is what I need to say:
Your aesthetic design is subjectively great, and judging from the comment section almost universal. Don’t doubt the outcome of your design by yourself, let others judge it. The old Queen number “The show must go on” suggests the same thing; If you tell the audience things went to crap and tear it down yourself, people will notice, and not a moment before. Present it, take notice and then evaluate on the design! Self-improvement are meant for backstage frustrations.
AMAZING transition when you talked about templates
Looks really nice. I'd buy one. Only one thing I would have changed: Hinges on the doors mounted on left side instead.
Great work Chris. The greatest thing I've found about woodworking is that even in failure during a project every piece stands as a trophy or reminder for those mistakes. Which in that sense failure makes a beautiful piece of work that you should be proud of. Keep up the good work!
good point Bryce
Your insights into your own thought process at what wins and failures are, are great. Validating for the rest of us, or at least me who will spend so much time just staring at a project, caught by indecision or questions. This is a really lovely design regardless.
Another great video Chris, well done
I love the legs and the chamfer on the doors for the handles! you have been an inspiration to my furniture building and I just wanted to say thanks.
Chris I know you weren’t very happy with the piece and I understand that but I wanted you to know it’s a beautiful piece and honestly I think anyone would love to have it in their home. Thank you for continuing to share your journey in woodworking and beautiful designs. It continues to motivate and entertain me buddy. Thank you.
I like how you show your mistakes and how to correct them, not many people on UA-cam do that. Great video by the way!
I love it
Great job! I'm very impressed. I love your complete honesty and reflection on your work. Thank you so much!
I think it is a beautiful piece. If I could fail that good every time then I would feel really good about myself. Love you, man.
haha...thanks Darin. Love you too :)
I thought the outcome of this was amazing, I love triangle cut-out on the draws and the legs are amazing! Lovely design!
I love the drawer pull design.
The design is great, but thank you for pointing out the issues it has. That makes the whole video a lot more instructive.
Absolutely love the combo of your narration, nylon guitar, clean visuals, and obviously beautiful woodwork. I've never supported a Patreon before, but I think you are going to be my first.
This is actually my favorite build. I understand your concerns, but really love the design.
I still find this piece really really gorgeous
очень круто, прекрасная работа!
Maravilloso. gracias por ser tan detallista en el proyecto.
Seriously one of my favorite pieces I’ve seeing you build yet.... then again your next piece might have this same comment. I currently live in an Eichler and can imagine your art all around my house. Thanks for being an inspiration to fine wood working.
Another awesome design/project - Thanks Chris! I (and many others) have found that using a larger diameter pattern bit is less terrifying. With a larger bit you can slow the speed a bit and there's less tendency to grab and throw the part/your hands. Another option is using a shorter pattern bit to route part of the depth and then come back for another pass using the recently routed surface as the new pattern for the guide bearing. Hopefully we will all keep "failing" and learning so as to keep getting better and smarter.
Thanks for the tips Jeff...I'll keep playing with it for next time.
Hey that thing you called a failure is just amazing. I love it
What a humble person you are ... WOW! learnt so much from your perspective and honesty ... You are one hell of a great person that should be proud of yourself. God Bless
To me is amazing beautiful! Respect.
Beautiful piece as always Chris. I understand the not being super proud about the fit and finish but (at least to me) its often times the small imperfections that make pieces like this truly beautiful. It really makes them feel human to me, like they actually were hand made by a real life human. None of us are perfect. Details of the build aside, this video/content is one of, if not the, best one yet. I learned something about building, design, and planning. Along with some mentality of building and perfectionism. Your camera work and editing skills were stellar as always. I especially like the close-ups of the flush trimming and jointery cutting. Thanks for the awesome video!
Thanks Corey....appreciate it! I think what we're figuring out is that I'm a better video maker than furniture maker :)
and I'm ok with that!
I've heard that the Japanese have a custom of repairing a broken work of porcelain with gold. In doing so they're trying to show that in the most glaring imperfection there is beauty, and in the greatest beauty there is imperfection. I think they'd get what you're saying here.
I love the modern design. I learned a lot and the reasons why you thought it was a failure also taught me a lot, thanks for sharing.
Thanks Joshh. Appreciate it
that plug cutting drill bit is awesome.
My wife and I believe that you have the most beautiful woodworking videos on the tube. Well done Sir!
You are the BEST! Chris
haha...thanks man
its gorgeous.
I wish I could "fail" like that! I think it's an amazing piece!
This is not a failure. I really love this table.
This is the best looking failure piece I've ever seen!!
I remember a time I was so self-critical of my work. I’m still picky. I’ve just learned, or at least I think I have, to be more appreciative of my work. A friend of mine who worked for The Metropolitan Museum of Art told me it was a custom of Chinese artist to intentionally include an imperfection in their work. I don’t recall the reason, but that thought has stuck with me with whatever I do. It’s funny to look at my work months later and am pleased to say. What I would have cited as perfect wasn’t at all. Still, I go for 100%. With that, I found your video very calming, and am very impressed with your work and design. Your work is excellent and I would imagine a true inspiration to other designers/furniture builders. Lastly, thank you for accompanying your video with soothing music. I can greatly do without head banging music that accompanies too many videos. Get my attention with content. Not with music that makes my ear drums bleed.
gorgeous!
I just found your channel and I absolutely love it. Super satisfying to watch these builds.
Reminds me of the quote- "Great art isn't finished, it's abandoned". I feel, at the end of every project, that I've taken this as far as I can but it isn't as good as I had hoped. Thanks for the honesty!
I like it...I think for me, more accurately, it isn't finished, but rather replaced by the next thing that catches my interest.
I second the Shaun Boyd videos, I just found his channel a few weeks ago. That guy does some cool stuff!
Chris, thank you for these.
Awesome project Chris! love seeing the process it kept me interested the whole time and I found it easy to watch fully from beginning to end. Love it man keep it up!
Thanks man...appreciate it :)
From this perspective, your project turned out amazing ! Really enjoy the dialog of your thought process, adds a tremendous amount to your videos which are always very good. I am on a constant lookout for your videos. Thanks for posting
Thanks man....on my end it's really pessimistic, on the viewer end it's very optimistic. The truth is probably right there in the center :)
I absolutely love this piece!
Don't be too hard on yourself, that looks dope Chris. I'd be proud to rock that in my home.
Gorgeous work Chris. It's beatiful. 💪🏻
Very nice work man!
Thanks...appreciate it :)
Este es el mejor diseño de consola que he visto. Los acabados son hermosos.
Felicidades y gracias por compartir tu hermoso trabajo.
Kudos to you for including your honest appraisal of your work but note that, whilst the design and final result had their flaws, you were receptive enough to see the valuable insights that the process offered - a true failure can only be achieved if the lessons are completely ignored. You have also shared these insights with us so that we can all benefit from your experiences and, hopefully, avoid heartache by taking heed. Your humility is quite humbling to witness so thank you for being candid 😀
I like the design. What helps me to substantially reduce the flush trim bit grabbing the wood is to have a guide registered against the ball bearing so that you can register the workpiece against it when approaching the router.
Gotcha...with this one, it was always find one side/edge grain. But on end grain, there was nothing I could do to keep it from bitting.
There are actually a few things that you can do - at least the following worked for me: (1) Don't use doublestick tape but either screws or two appropriate toggle clamps. Tape has a tiny bit of give to it. With each hit of the 10k hits of router blade in each second it moves the wood a bit and finally grabs it. (2) Have a secure handle - like your clamps or screw a handle to the template holder (3) Having a guide makes a huge difference. When just pushing the wood against the router bit it has a large surface of attack and you have to hold everything from your arms. When registering the template against the guide you can "sneak up" to the first contract.
It's hard to explain without pictures... :-)
Every day is a school day. Your learning experiences give us mere mortals hope.
WHen you hit pause @11:58 I looked down at my keyboard thinking I did something, lol. Great video. When makers put out stuff that they may think isn't perfect or has mistakes it helps us all become better. Great job!
My favorite build so far
Beautiful piece!! Love it!
Absolutely freaking beautiful
I love seeing this side of woodworking. It's tough sometimes. I put out one piece that I wasn't proud of, and it seriously eats at me every single day. I hate it.
It came out beautiful
Great video, as always. FYI, I think Blum has hinges especially made for 5/4" doors.
This is the first video I have seen of yours, and I've never felt so calm and relaxed from a woodworking video. I could fall asleep to it. But honestly that cabinet is amazing. Love the wood choice and finish really makes it pop. Defiantly subscribing!
I always learn something from your videos. Whether it's how to do something or how not to do something. You make what you do look easy. Like stealing gloves from a baby...
Hopefully more of "What to do" in the future :)
Well done! I really like how the drawers came out.
no matter how many flaws are there, I totally love the designs you come up with. You are amazing at what you do
Thanks Harpreet
Amazing job, like always. ¡Enhorabuena!
I think it looks beautiful!
Despite you may called it a failure or whatever you wanna call it ; I find it interesting how take your time to make this project. Keep pressing on bro ! I myself like to crate things as well and as always no pressure!
What a beautiful Table! Good job! love the stand! So unique!
What a great looking sideboard. I’d feel very proud showing this off with my turntable and vinyl.
Thanks James...I'm planning out another one. Less out there, more "elegant" for lack of a better word...but I'm excited about it.
Wow! What a gorgeous piece! One day I hope my failures look this good! Is it just me but when I see there is a new FourEyes video I'm like "YES" but don't watch immdiately! I wait until I know I won't be disturbed, my a tea, maybe a Pop Tart or two and then sit down and watch! Love the videos Chris. Can't wait for the next one but no pressure :)
Beautiful
That piece is freaking stunning!!!!!!!!!
Sometimes you don’t have the right words to describe the the creativity of the hands and mind
Bravo great lovely amazing work ✅👍😍💪
Failure is how to grow. It's awesome you recognize that, are hard on yourself and take pride in your work. It's a great characteristic to have if you want to be the best you can be. I thought this piece turned out great by the way! Cheers and thank you for all the great content!
Really nice design.. Thank you so much for sharing. GBU!
Awesome job, Great looking family, I'm sure you already know you're truly Blessed
Pretty good drawers😍😍
Obviously, you are a perfectionist, you love what you do and you're humble enough to see and admit your mistakes. in my beginer eyes, you did a really good job and the result is pretty amazing, and there's no failure as long as we learn. but as a perfectionnist myself i understand what you mean as i'm never fully satisfied with my designs. i have been very interested in designing and building furniture lately but not sure where to start. I've never done it before but I have an artistic spirit and I feel very inspired by this type of videos lately. so I'm looking for some tips to finally get started. Keep it up, you'll be the very first one i follow on youtube or anywhere...not even sure how it works.lol
I love these projects
Thanks Sam
This is art! Bravo!!!!
totally feel ya on that whole content creation at odds with making high end pieces for customers. people don't seem to understand why I won't make stuff for them. I'll just point them to this video next time.
haha...good call. Don't even say anything. Just respond with this random URL :)
A crappy piece from someone like this is still light years better than a store would ever sell :) I would proudly display it.
"Stingy adhesive outlay." Love it... You glue you, brother. :-)
Chris this has to be my favourite build, those cut outs on the drawer fronts are so cool and the legs are awesome. Well done man.
beautiful, beautiful, beautiful your job...
I really enjoy your commentary Mr Chris. Nice work and humbling end. Thx
Very nice
I love how much public radio you obviously listen to. You really bring out your inner Sarah Koenig in your narration. The piece is lovely.
Haha...thanks. PS. "I actually use mail chimp!" - "You Do?!"
Oh season 1. I miss you.
