Thank you for watching! Here are the most common questions I am getting: 1. *Some version of "You can see the bolt heads in the C-channel. You should have hid them"* I agree...it would be better if you couldn't see them. This would be an easy fix. Just recess the C-channel more deeply into the slab. Unfortunately this slab was already getting pretty thin, and I didn't want to risk bursting through the top. And also...this is much more noticeable in video than it is in real life. In video I tend to get a lot of lower shots to show off the details of the table. To actually see the bolts in real life your eye has to be equal to or lower than the underside of the table. So...not a huge deal in my opinion.
I cant figure out if Chris is a filmmaker who covers woodworking or a woodworker who produces great videos, but I guess that means he's mastered both. Great job, cant wait to see you hit 10M!
The commentary at the end in watching the final project come to a finish, literally almost brought a tear to my eye... this was a beautiful project with amazing execution
“If he’s not happy, I will eat the cost..” As a small business owner myself, this is just what you need to do sometimes. That’s how you build a solid reputation. Great work!
If you are charging $30k, you should offer them personal services for the next 6 months as well. That is absolutely incredibly ridiculous to charge that much for $2,000 worth of walnut.
@@JesseFFT ??? is it ridiculous to charge $500 for 37¢ worth of sand and metal in the form of a CPU? An insane amount of work, materials, and overhead went into that. Seems perfectly reasonable. Especially if you have to eat the cost of a project here and there while still paying the bills
I think comparing the intricacies of mining precious metals, shipping them across the world to a manufacturing plant that cost hundreds of millions to build, that took more money in R&D and works on an atomic level, is a bit of a ridiculous comparison. @@HypherNet

Yep, definitely a simple concept that might have been "dumbed" down a little too much. Having worked customer service for decades, I grew to think of it as "The customer knows what they want, and that should be RESPECTED; but, they don't necessarily know how to get it." And, it's the latter aspect where I feel most problems occur, often producing frustration and immediate "no"s rather than realizing it's a question to work through together-exactly the approach here! When a company prioritizes meeting a customers needs rather than forcing their priorities on a customer, customer service becomes a lot less difficult.
The quality of your work, your dead pan sense of humour, and your teaching style in these videos, as well as the story telling are a pretty magic combination. These videos are some of the best examples of how to make content, teach and keep people engaged. Thank you!
This video is far more interesting and better produced that 95% of the media one finds during the prime time hours on television. The drawings, philosophical sidebars, voice-over commentary and interesting videography, are all really watchable. I don't even mind watching the ads! Thanks for taking the time to make these videos so great. You are an artist and it shows very clearly in your wooden furniture AND in your video content. Also in your pencil! BRAVO! Keep it up.
Your narration is not only on another level, it's in an entirely different universe than 99% of not only furnitureTube, but UA-cam in general. Bravo good sir! Love it!
I totally agree with narration and the fact you are extremely talented as I've commented before and enjoy your build videos. 1 bit of advice, no need to stop apologizing for "using technical terms "" as many, myself included know what they mean. You are not the smartest guy in the room. The minute one thinks that of themselves, it's over. Watch the million subs vanish. Now keep the good work coming, I think it's good stuff and want to see you succeed.. peace.
That's a design I'm loving. I f'ing **hate** epoxy when it's more than just the minimal filler like in this one. River tables are just ugly, tacky, and stupid. Sometimes epoxy is kind of unavoidable, and this table is a great showing blending both styles. Love it. #justsaynotorivertables
@@ChrisHornberger I agree, I'm not a fan of epoxy tables but Chris has found that fine line between enough and too much epoxy, his are the only tables containing epoxy I would consider for my own place.
This is the only channel I NEVER skip the adds. The way they’re presented in a way that skipping them would have me missing parts of the builds, that’s brilliant. Love the channel and the narration.
I totally agree, I’ve never seen anyone do a better job of not only integrating the products but making them relevant at the same time, your sponsors should be more than happy, this such a sweet spot and rarely accomplished so well.
I love how you carved out slab to go into the other. It really solved a lot of issues and made the top MUCH more interesting than the typical resin tops
This is the reason why I stay subscribed to this channel! I might not watch every video that comes out but once in a while a gem like this one comes out and makes me feel like going back and watching all the ones I missed in between. Beautiful project, beautiful videography, and beautiful narration as always! Thanks for the top notch content! 🎉
I like the idea of "build something that forces you to think". Could be a small project or a large one but trying something that forces you to plan or problem solve will make you a better woodworker.
I think that is one of the most beautiful tables I have seen you make... I love the way the patterns of the wood flow together, the forms in the legs and top have a beautiful and lucious simplicity, and the float gives it just the right amount of lightness. Congratulations on a truly whole piece of art.
Chris I love your videos. I only wish I had one tenth of your creativity. I'm 71 YEARS OLD and have been woodworking for about 6 years or so. I've done some large pieces and I love doing them, but I think there's a lot to be said for honing your skills on the small stuff. Keep up the good work. You always inspire me. You have a lot of talent and I know you inspire a whole lot of people. Congrats on the 1M.
I’ve been woodworking for about a decade. My advice is “build something that matters”. If it’s a tiny box or an entire library, it doesn’t matter as much as if the project MATTERS to you. If you care about the project, you will stress over the details, and that’s what it takes to learn in this craft.
I’m just discovering you and I’m in awe of your knowledge. From engineering to woodworking to video work - all of which you’re producing at such a high level. I hope you offer apprenticeships. You have so much to offer. Thanks for sharing your gifts with us.
I used to love working with wood, many years ago I worked in a cabinet shop for over 5 years. You, have inspired me to get back into it, not cabinets, but the art of working in wood. Today, I bought a used Delta Unisaw, a Used 16-inch Planer, and a used 8-inch Jointer. It's a start. Thank you again for helping me see the vision of making things again.
Amazing work! I really liked the look of one slab cut into another. It retains the beautiful detail of the live edge while avoiding large areas of resin or generic resin-rivers running through the entire piece. Love it!
Hi Chris, I joined the Creator Course after watching your coffee table build. Thank you for that! I know it's going to Rocket my channel into 2024 and beyond... Great value so far! Congrats on passing one million! I think you should celebrate by giving all of your students a brass chunky.
As an Architect with pretty descent drawing skills, I gotta say your sketches are awesome, and one of the main reasons I enjoy your videos differently.
Your point about making medium sized things is very correct, and this table is quite stylish, the smaller version of this would be perfect for all homes.
Love the three pieces together, looks amazing! On a side note, I was inspired to take a wood working class and built a bookshelf!! My goal is to buy one of your plans and make it for myself!
bruh, confidence is key. Dont say u arent there yet. You are there, and u have always been there, sometimes u have to do a little walk, climb over some obstacles, and try different things, but u have always been there. Its your manifestation and focus.
That table looks great! You did a fantastic job! Your advice on starting with projects is inspiring. It's applicable not only to wood working but many sorts of other homemade projects. Thank you very much.
Other epoxy table builders on youtube online focus on the desks, only few of them focus on the stands and @Foureyes usually comes up with the best stand design.
Love it. More than the project, it's your presentation and humor that makes me want to watch as soon as it comes up. Great set! If I ever have 30k lying around, I'm reaching out to you.
I am not a wood worker. I will never be a wood worker as I don't have a creative bone in my body and I am disabled so even if I wanted to, I could not handle tools on wood. However, I never miss a video as it so satisfying to watch a beautiful piece of furniture come to life. I also love the commentary as it is so easy to understand and also entertaining. Please keep up the good work! Love from Ireland 💚☘
As a parent myself, I absolutely lost it at the part where you said those memories you made during the 30 minute table build with your kids would last a lifetime just to play the clip where you're shouting "I said knock it off!" in the background. I felt that.
I actually added that in after. I thought it would be funny to have a hard cut like that. My son was more than happy to do the Voice Over work to get to be in a video :)
Piece turned out great man. I had a perspective client ask me about making a table like this approx 5 years ago. I knew immediately it was way beyond my skill set - that being said, it was awesome to see one built and confirm that, yes, I was right. There was 0 chance I could have made this 5 years ago, and only a mildly better chance I could do it today lol
You are an Artist, your woodwork is a peace of Art, NOBODY returns or complains about ART they order a peace that comes from a creative mind, its unique, you've to embrace it.
Your videos have the vibe of a caring nurse. You care too much about everything that involves the process and now I care because you do. I feel the urge to bake you a velvet cupcake and I can't even boil water let alone cook!! Keep it up.
i never get tired of feeling totally irrelevant in the furniture building side of my work by watching you build concepts beyond my wildest dreams. I have little ego in this game, and creativity apparently as well lol. beautiful work as always.
I think my favorite part of your channel is the close zoom moments of the drill press, router, and chisel. Those are moments you never get to see and appreciate in real time with all of the shavings and dust. But, your video work gives us the opportunity to appreciate the magic of a perfect circle, or cut flush edge, or even a chamfered corner. I guess, really, I appreciate your effort in videography and editing. Thank you sir. You're a gentleman and a scholar.
I really like how you attached the two slabs into one. I was bit afraid in the beginning when it was looking that there might be a lake of epoxy in between them but this was great. I also thought that the coffee table was nice, bit like what Shaun did in his riverless river table. The client doesn’t happen to be Cam’s Scott? And he just did not want a river table, so he came to you instead Cam 😂
haha....nope...it's definitely not Cam's cameraman Scott. Though you never know. If my client ends up not wanting it. Maybe I can talk that Scott into buying it :)
This is my favorite table that I've had the pleasure of watching you build. The time and effort that you clearly put into your content is an order of magnitude above most other woodworkers on the tube. Your design of modern furniture is truly inspiring. I guess what I'm trying to say is.. Thank you.
I'm so glad the customer loved it!! Honestly, the first thing that comes to my mind for those elevated tops is what a pain it will be to dust them 😂 and I personally would have gone with a black stabilizing channel thing instead of green. Still, the pieces are exquisite, and my qualms are with things people aren't likely encounter much.
Chris, when you're messing around in photoshop I'd recommend using a masking layer, it's a non-destructive way to mask out the parts you don't want and would allow you to reposition the original "slab" under it.
I do a lot. The reason I don't here, when I'm messing with slabs, is that I actually like to use the frame I create as a "stamp". I have a positive and a negative stamps so that I can remove parts of the "slab" and use the leftovers to fill in. Basically mimicking what I would be doing in real life.
You have a good heart for trying to please everyone . Don't take criticism from anyone that wouldn't tell you to your face . We have internet gladiators that are great as chess............
Hey, Chris. Wanted to say a couple of words. I've been following your channel for some time. In the last time, I've found myself in the woodworking (was inspired by other creators), and finally started actually building stuff. Got myself a bench, got some tools to work with. And even took my very first order (it is still more of a hobbie, unless we consider $50 display stand a serious order. In that case, please let me know where should I go to live on this money). I wanted to say thank you. Your videos have shown me some techniques and approaches that are useful for me and either were used or will be used in my later projects. And even my approach to creating the look of my items is inspired by your designes (and I haven't even checked the free coffee table course yet!). So thank you for making me better at something that I love. Stay true.
Hey man. Thanks you for the kind words. They are definitely appreciated. If you’re learning a lot from these videos…. I think you’ll really enjoy the project courses. Definitely check out the freebie.
I agree with your client on the coffee table. I would prefer for the top to be all walnut instead of mostly oak. The dining table is a great design and having the top float above the base is a feature I might have to steal from you. It is a feature that can only be appreciated from afar or low down but when visible it adds some special to the profile of the table.
One of your woodworking collegues here on yt said that either it has a showstopper top, or a showstopper base. I agree, because rarely do both align, and if they do, they look tend to look like art, not furniture. But taste differs, great work on this one!
That kinda sums up the desk and the coffee table. I think this one (dining table) manages to pull it off though...because the top is restrained...but it's still the star at the end of the day.
beautiful closing line this especially stuck out to me as a freelance digital 3D artist, I am always trying to be a step ahead of my clients to give that wow factor and continue to do so successfully It was very heartwarming to hear this from you as I take my work and passion quite personally as it continues to consume all my time
I totally see, understand & get what you're saying about "The customer always being right"... but I think Sir Richard Branson said it the best. "The customer isn't always right, if you look after your employees they'll look after your customers!!" And further more, love your furniture, ideas and concepts. Keep up the amazing work!!👍👍👍
Great video. I liked the pace. I like seeing your wife step in to help and your kids doing a project. I especially liked the humor when you played the audio of the kids bickering while narrating about the lifetime of memories🤣 You do really great work!
They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think the table is really well designed and made to a very high standard. I personally really like the look of this Scandinavian looking table. 😊
that top might be my favourite table top i've ever seen. absolutely love how those two slabs combined, way better than any monolithic slab top could be
I appreciated every piece for your craftsmanship, the design angle you approached it from and getting to watch you create all of these bits of furniture.. but this brass chunky pencil has just got me transfixed… I need one and I’ve clearly shown where my priorities lie haha.
Love the way this turned out Chris! The set is fantastic, Scott is lucky to have them. Jokes and witticisms on point, the genuine LOLs were plentiful on this video.
Such an elegant solution, I aspire to be able to order one of your pieces one day soon. There is nothing like looking around your home and LOVING and delighting in the each of the beautiful items you have collected, Chris your work fits this standard.
I really love the geometry of the tabletop. That's not to downplay the artistry of the other aspects that I know are a lot harder and more impressive, but seeing it assembled made the edge geometry really stand out as something I'd want in my home if I had the space for it.
"the customer is always right, in matters of taste". That's the full quote. With the idea being that a salesperson shouldn't judge the wants of the customer. If the customer wants something you think is ugly or impractical, you should not judge it. It's what the customer wants.
I appreciate how you continue to show the construction of the piece during the advertisements. I normally skip through in-video ads, but I didn’t do that during your Shopify pitch.
Bruh. One of the first videos I saw of yours was the modern nightstand video and to hear that you now have 1 million subscribers is nuts. Congratulations. I forgot to sub 3+ years ago so I did so just now. Keep of the great work.
Beauty! Hope Scott loves it, and yeah the three pieces together make a kind of sense that each on its own might not achieve. Also Denver born & bred here: Humidity doesn't vary seasonally that much there -- it's always way more dry than most other places, situated on the semi-arid high plains as it is. Y'all more coastal types might worry more about that than you need to for that specific market.
Homerun!!! Again!!! I'm inspired to hit the sawmill today. Sure wish I'd planted more walnut 25 years ago when I bought my place. Congrats on a million plus subscribers!!! Keep it up bro. Beautiful family!
'The customer is always right' doesn't mean that they are correct all the time. It's a concept or a mantra for business owners to make you amenable to their wants and desires, not something to blindly follow. In your case, you get to create beautiful furniture which they will end up loving - when they finally see that you were right ;) Congrats on the 1M BTW.
Gr8 furniture piece....hope your client loved it. Above all, I enjoy your sarcastic commentary....you just kill me! 🙂 (oooh as for the 10 million subscribers question, its really NOT far fetched...its doable).
The table top is an extreme delight. It's a section of an xray of the trees as they grew in nature. The base is also surprisingly simple. I didn't note, are the legs slightly splayed by the stretchers? How do you pick your angles? (13.9⁰ must come from somewhere.)
Thank you for watching! Here are the most common questions I am getting:
1. *Some version of "You can see the bolt heads in the C-channel. You should have hid them"*
I agree...it would be better if you couldn't see them. This would be an easy fix. Just recess the C-channel more deeply into the slab. Unfortunately this slab was already getting pretty thin, and I didn't want to risk bursting through the top.
And also...this is much more noticeable in video than it is in real life. In video I tend to get a lot of lower shots to show off the details of the table.

FAQ won’t work because people are here to complain and be right (like me right now), rather than helping you
Use an L fence instead of a sled to cut your angles. Since the template is on top, you do not lose any blade height

Absolutely killed it with the "Go to your room" comment. Nice table too, Chris.
my son was a champ for his willingness to do some quick acting :)
Glad I’m not the only one that caught the MJ reference 😂
This dude is low key funny as hell, and his voice is incredibly soothing. Love the videography and the story that is told in each video. Well done!!!
I low key thank you for the kind words :)
W gambling
No but seriously i love what you do in your furniture, it is Art. And, just saying, your videos always hypnotize me. Keep it up!
I think my favorite part of your channel is the close zoom moments of the drill press, router, and chisel. Those are moments you never get to see and appreciate in real time with all of the shavings and dust. But, your video work gives us the opportunity to appreciate the magic of a perfect circle, or cut flush edge, or even a chamfered corner. I guess, really, I appreciate your effort in videography and editing. Thank you sir. You're a gentleman and a scholar.
Thank you very much! Those shots are fun for sure. It’s cool seeing things back larger than life.
I really like how you attached the two slabs into one. I was bit afraid in the beginning when it was looking that there might be a lake of epoxy in between them but this was great. I also thought that the coffee table was nice, bit like what Shaun did in his riverless river table. The client doesn’t happen to be Cam’s Scott? And he just did not want a river table, so he came to you instead Cam 😂
haha....nope...it's definitely not Cam's cameraman Scott. Though you never know. If my client ends up not wanting it. Maybe I can talk that Scott into buying it :)
This is my favorite table that I've had the pleasure of watching you build. The time and effort that you clearly put into your content is an order of magnitude above most other woodworkers on the tube. Your design of modern furniture is truly inspiring. I guess what I'm trying to say is.. Thank you.
Awesome work, Chris! Your designs are top notch!
You could name the lift Shaun, but only if you give it a hat and sneakers to go with the name
I am not opposed to that
I'm so glad the customer loved it!! Honestly, the first thing that comes to my mind for those elevated tops is what a pain it will be to dust them 😂 and I personally would have gone with a black stabilizing channel thing instead of green. Still, the pieces are exquisite, and my qualms are with things people aren't likely encounter much.
Absolutamente fantástico 👏 seu trabalho, sua edição, suas palavras. Obrigado 🇵🇹🇧🇷
Chris, when you're messing around in photoshop I'd recommend using a masking layer, it's a non-destructive way to mask out the parts you don't want and would allow you to reposition the original "slab" under it.
I do a lot. The reason I don't here, when I'm messing with slabs, is that I actually like to use the frame I create as a "stamp". I have a positive and a negative stamps so that I can remove parts of the "slab" and use the leftovers to fill in. Basically mimicking what I would be doing in real life.
@@Foureyes.Furniture ah ok, then I think you can use a masking folder. You'd have your stamp but all images in the folder can be moved around.
Wait, wait, wait.... you're 43?! You don't look a day over 30. Mazel tov...
You have a good heart for trying to please everyone . Don't take criticism from anyone that wouldn't tell you to your face . We have internet gladiators that are great as chess............
This guy might be one of the best storytellers I've had the pleasantry of listening to. Thanks.
Hey, Chris.
Wanted to say a couple of words. I've been following your channel for some time.
In the last time, I've found myself in the woodworking (was inspired by other creators), and finally started actually building stuff. Got myself a bench, got some tools to work with. And even took my very first order (it is still more of a hobbie, unless we consider $50 display stand a serious order. In that case, please let me know where should I go to live on this money).
I wanted to say thank you. Your videos have shown me some techniques and approaches that are useful for me and either were used or will be used in my later projects. And even my approach to creating the look of my items is inspired by your designes (and I haven't even checked the free coffee table course yet!).
So thank you for making me better at something that I love. Stay true.
Hey man. Thanks you for the kind words. They are definitely appreciated.
If you’re learning a lot from these videos…. I think you’ll really enjoy the project courses. Definitely check out the freebie.
I agree with your client on the coffee table. I would prefer for the top to be all walnut instead of mostly oak. The dining table is a great design and having the top float above the base is a feature I might have to steal from you. It is a feature that can only be appreciated from afar or low down but when visible it adds some special to the profile of the table.
Before getting to the end product, kudos to the editing. The nitty-gritty things are acknowledged and appreciated
I just love your projects, big and small, your monologue, your mistakes and their correction. My favourite channel.
Wow, thank you!
Appreciate it Peter :)
Chris, your skills as a furniture maker are in a word, outstanding. Beyond this obvious fact, you are an even more outstanding human being.
One of your woodworking collegues here on yt said that either it has a showstopper top, or a showstopper base. I agree, because rarely do both align, and if they do, they look tend to look like art, not furniture. But taste differs, great work on this one!
That kinda sums up the desk and the coffee table. I think this one (dining table) manages to pull it off though...because the top is restrained...but it's still the star at the end of the day.
beautiful closing line
this especially stuck out to me as a freelance digital 3D artist, I am always trying to be a step ahead of my clients to give that wow factor and continue to do so successfully
It was very heartwarming to hear this from you as I take my work and passion quite personally as it continues to consume all my time
go four eyes😅 as an architect Im turning my skills to high end pieces for my own use...thanks for the high quality videos
I love the design - a complex process but you make it look straight forward. And the wood is phenomenal!!
I feel like you did a fantastic job of making these pieces siblings and not triplets which can truly be a challenge. Again, great job.
I love all 3 piece.
the long surfboard like hall table is beautiful. the long length actually gave it the distinct beauty.
Do you have plans available for this build!? I would love to build this! I love my moon fry bed by the way
I totally see, understand & get what you're saying about "The customer always being right"... but I think Sir Richard Branson said it the best. "The customer isn't always right, if you look after your employees they'll look after your customers!!"
And further more, love your furniture, ideas and concepts. Keep up the amazing work!!👍👍👍
Great video. I liked the pace. I like seeing your wife step in to help and your kids doing a project. I especially liked the humor when you played the audio of the kids bickering while narrating about the lifetime of memories🤣 You do really great work!
Dude, you are the Clark Kent of woodworking. All mild mannered and low key, and THEN you hit them with these masterpieces from outer space :O
They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think the table is really well designed and made to a very high standard. I personally really like the look of this Scandinavian looking table. 😊
that top might be my favourite table top i've ever seen. absolutely love how those two slabs combined, way better than any monolithic slab top could be
Aside from being allowed to watch you create great stuff in professional and pleasing pictures I appreciate the most the way you see things.
I appreciated every piece for your craftsmanship, the design angle you approached it from and getting to watch you create all of these bits of furniture.. but this brass chunky pencil has just got me transfixed… I need one and I’ve clearly shown where my priorities lie haha.
Love the way this turned out Chris! The set is fantastic, Scott is lucky to have them. Jokes and witticisms on point, the genuine LOLs were plentiful on this video.
Such an elegant solution, I aspire to be able to order one of your pieces one day soon. There is nothing like looking around your home and LOVING and delighting in the each of the beautiful items you have collected, Chris your work fits this standard.
Thank you very much! Appreciate it. I hope to be doing this for a long time, so hopefully that day will come at some point :)
Beautiful 🥰Gorgeous😊since I’m only an old lady of 70y..I cannot go out very much, so I turn to you and others for my enjoyment. Thank you‼️
I really love the geometry of the tabletop. That's not to downplay the artistry of the other aspects that I know are a lot harder and more impressive, but seeing it assembled made the edge geometry really stand out as something I'd want in my home if I had the space for it.
Well Done! You’re humble, talented and real. You put so much effort into your videos and it’s noticed.
"the customer is always right, in matters of taste". That's the full quote. With the idea being that a salesperson shouldn't judge the wants of the customer. If the customer wants something you think is ugly or impractical, you should not judge it. It's what the customer wants.
I love that your videos are stories as much as they are woodworking videos, and probably more
I didn't even notice we're at a Million already. Amazing Table btw, that looks astonishing.
Your audience here in Brazil is growing Chris.... thanks for the amazing videos and furniture....
I appreciate how you continue to show the construction of the piece during the advertisements. I normally skip through in-video ads, but I didn’t do that during your Shopify pitch.
Thanks! It helps to have a sponsor who is willing to let you do that. They are a very easy bunch to work with
I'm looking at this piece and I don't have a word. You might be truly be a god.
I appreciate the kind words...but I am definitely just a dude
Bruh. One of the first videos I saw of yours was the modern nightstand video and to hear that you now have 1 million subscribers is nuts. Congratulations. I forgot to sub 3+ years ago so I did so just now. Keep of the great work.
haha...better late than never I guess. Appreciate it
As a complete noobie, I think your vision and craft is almost magical. Keep it up!
Beauty! Hope Scott loves it, and yeah the three pieces together make a kind of sense that each on its own might not achieve. Also Denver born & bred here: Humidity doesn't vary seasonally that much there -- it's always way more dry than most other places, situated on the semi-arid high plains as it is. Y'all more coastal types might worry more about that than you need to for that specific market.
Homerun!!! Again!!! I'm inspired to hit the sawmill today. Sure wish I'd planted more walnut 25 years ago when I bought my place. Congrats on a million plus subscribers!!! Keep it up bro. Beautiful family!
Thank you. Appreciate the kind words. Now if only time travel were possible. 😊
The way you mated those slabs together was really creative. I really liked that
Very lovely finished result. I think it further alienates the one piece but that's why we strive forward.
Love the dad voice... Making core memories and with a dash of punishment 20:18 😂😂😂
Crows are my favorite animal and I'm ecstatic that you actually said crow like I was hoping for after you mentioned the ostrich. Thanks.
Those overlapping pieces of wood look really great! It create the impression of dimension!
Newly discovered your channel and I've added one to your lofty goal of 10 million subscribers. Now it's time to binge watch
Glad you found me. Hope you enjoy the binging. 😊
Wow.
Didn't expect to see so much art involved.
'The customer is always right' doesn't mean that they are correct all the time. It's a concept or a mantra for business owners to make you amenable to their wants and desires, not something to blindly follow.
In your case, you get to create beautiful furniture which they will end up loving - when they finally see that you were right ;)
Congrats on the 1M BTW.
Gr8 furniture piece....hope your client loved it. Above all, I enjoy your sarcastic commentary....you just kill me! 🙂 (oooh as for the 10 million subscribers question, its really NOT far fetched...its doable).
The table top is an extreme delight. It's a section of an xray of the trees as they grew in nature. The base is also surprisingly simple. I didn't note, are the legs slightly splayed by the stretchers? How do you pick your angles? (13.9⁰ must come from somewhere.)
Hands down the best voice over on UA-cam. And I think you pulled it off with the joining of the two slabs it looks great
Wow, thank you!
