Thanks for watching! I have some important links below: Here is a link to sign up for the beginning woodworking course I'm working on - foureyes.ck.page/28c8ce5ee6 Here are my woodworking plans - www.foureyesfurniture.com/plans SAMPLE 73 (wood finish) has officially released - qwerktools.com/pages/sample73 BRASS CHUNKY MECHANICAL PENCIL is back in stock - qwerktools.com/
As always, nice job! I'm interested about the results of the custom vs standard furniture results. Do you think that sharing the story behind it might induce a bias in the people who bid? Nonetheless, it will still be interesting to see where it ends up.
Omg please get a big banner that says 'if its good enough for carbon racing kayaks, its good enough tables' thats the best conversation starter for the workshop haha
Honestly...I would do something like that...unfortunately most of the conversation would be me having to explain myself in the comments section of all future videos.
@@1mcarrellTrue, but I suspect he has sufficient organic engagement he has to deal with and which probably exceeds his capacity already. Also: big banners are relatively expensive
Was thinking with that comment +/- 2.9" isn’t going to matter… on you. As for the table, deeper scallops (where legs meet table) definitely better. Maybe missed this, but with 3d design I like to create stick-figures of select heights to see what I or others would see at various distances.
I actually find it quite refreshing to not have any music playing in the background. Really enjoy your videos and think your designs are among the best here on UA-cam. Keep up the good work.
You can usually rate a video by the music or lac of music. If it is used as buffer or just occasionally, that is a good video. But if the music is loud, fast, with a hyperdrive speaker, then they are playing on your emotions and not your logic.
As the owner of a 60” round table for the past 25 years, I can honestly say it was one of the best pieces of advice I received from our house designer. It is the best for conversation and games with family and friends. Ours seats 8 very comfortably or 10 without being too squashed. It was bought from a furniture store and was the largest they offered with a single pedestal for stability. You have done a great job here and the only thing I can add would be the leg room consideration with the supports. As a taller person I have lost count of the number of times I hit my knees under tables. I would recommend for others considering a similar design to reverse the supports so the cutouts are on the outside. Otherwise love your work!
I remember my grandfather had a very similar gripe with the "lazy Susan" nomenclature as you do, and he made it a point to call it the "round-a-go." My grandmother always used it to display flower arrangements, candles, or other occasional decorations for family gatherings. My grandfather passed away in 2008, a month shy of his 100th birthday, but my mother still has that same round-a-go, and it still makes its appearance at the holidays, beautifully adorned and radiant with memories.
Yeah, I'm baffled at the name as well. Here in Mordor they are called (I'm providing literal translation here) "carousel" or "rotating menagerie". Though "lazy Susan" is nowadays often appended (in English) to the name since it has become a sort of unique identifier for it...
My grandparents had a truly huge round table in their eat-in kitchen. We used to get 10 people around the table without problems. For a round table of that size, having a round-a-go in the middle was very helpful and used often to pass dishes! (We did call it a Lazy Susan, which was a point of contention for my sister named - you guessed it - Susan.)
wood work, for a living. I love wood, the cragging and rough looking the better,BUT when you polish and smooth it WOW, it brings tears to my eyes. I'm 71years old. And in not as good a health as I'd like, working on that though. So, I live through others and enjoy their works, and talents. Keep up your excellent work, SO ENJOYit.
My 3 year old son likes to watch your videos (he's fascinated by my wood workshop, but he can't watch me so this is his surrogate). He loves it when Deloris makes a cameo as it's "the husband making a table for his wife" and he likes that. He's going to be so excited for this
love the black version of the pencil, but what's more important is that i watched one of the blacktail studio's videos where cam mentioned to remind you about the custom spider leg he asked for lol
Chris, not only do I watch in wonder at the beauty of your builds, I’m very impressed with the creativity of your problem solving. Thanks for sharing your videos.
Chris, your talents don’t stop with the design and build. Your video editing and voiceovers are every bit as meticulously crafted as your furniture. Trypophobia.
The router idea works, I use a 3/4 inch plexiglass mount on most of my routers for this exact reason. You can also add handles to this to help with control on wider tasks... Albeit I use it for timber framing, so a bit larger sticks. Love the vids, projects, and commentary! Keep up the good work.
Very well done. This build had me reflecting on some of the team dinners we had while working in China. Extremely large round tables with a lazy susan, capable of seating 8-12 were common in many restaurants. The negative spaces in your table legs seem to carry an oriental influence. Thanks for reviving old memories.
I love good wood working, and yours is great. Small request, for those of us that enjoy watching 30 minutes of you crafting a beautiful piece, you could spend a good bit more time in showing off the finished product at the end. Trust me, we want to admire your handiwork.
About the CNC dilemma.. I would LOVE to see more CNC content. There is a big difference in throwing a slab on there and watching it do a 2h timelapse and giving valuable information about the programming, feeds and speeds, workholding and other CNC related stuff. Take us through the process! you provide a lot of value with the woodworking tips you share, and I can only imagine you'd do the same with CNC related content. I recently got a CNC similar to yours and am looking to make it a big part of my engineering business (yes I am biased :) ) Unfortunately I have not found a lot of CNC content on youtube where people implement it in a making project like the projects you do. Most of the time its JUST the CNC stuff. I know CNC is intimidating, it took me 3 months of fulltime effort to get everything operating nicely (long story), but its so worth it. Go for it dude! :D
I appreciate that you acknowledged that rockler sent you many of the tools. That kind of transparency doesn't happen nearly often enough and it reflects integrity.
I get so excited when your videos come out! I am one of those who is not a future woodworker, but something about your videos just makes my day. Thank you for the content.
What a beautiful job! I’ve been following you for several months, but I’ve never left a comment before, sorry about that! I find your videos incredibly entertaining, and I absolutely love your sense of humor. As for your projects, they’re simply amazing. With my comment, I’ll leave you one unsolicited piece of advice: You’re young, and I understand that moving heavy objects at your age doesn’t seem like a big deal. I’m 50 now, and I used to be just like you, but now life is collecting the bill, and I’m starting to feel it in my back and knees. Consider using protection for your back and knees!
I’m a huge fan of your videos and, especially, the illustrations you make to help convey visual ideas and why you made different choices, and what those look like. It’s a great way to help visualize otherwise complex and hard to describe thoughts. Thank you, and keep it up!
I’m always delighted to see a new video from you. This one’s great. As exceptional as the table is, I think your voiceovers are the best part of the package. Wonderful grain in the wood.
Man... I was just over here in the deepest thought of what I was about to do, watch, or if I wanted to go somewhere. Problem solved right here. Thanks my guy.
Great. As is the video, as usual. I literally watch every second of all you videos. This table is yet another inspiring, amazing, beautiful piece of wood art. Love it. Love your work! And your humor!
@@Foureyes.Furnitureyou're one of the few woodworkers with top-notch content. There's you, Shaun, and Cam - sort of a trinity of high-value woodworking entertainment, well, also bourbon moth, so more of a quartet actually. Then there's Pedula, Lincoln, and that young dude making stuff on weekends away from college, Make with Miles, and Michael Alm. Also interesting but not as enthralling. Then there's the more specific channels dealing with tools, their use, and safety - the stumpy nubs comes to mind. If I were forced to limit my content to say three channels, all but the first three would have to go.
your "episodes" on your builds are like epic poems my friend. Great story telling and craftsmanship. Keep crushing it man. Your really pushing boundaries, but I don't need to remind you of that I'm sure :)
I just came from your Record Cabinet video and wow the video quality changes heaps, so happy you grew in this time. Your quality was perfect before but now it’s stunning
your half measures way for routing out probably saved you some trouble. The handful of times I made a bigger plate it tended to dip in the middle. A little more time, but probably got a flatter bottom.
and it would have to be chamfered on the edges so it wouldn't snag when sliding across the work piece. When you named the problem, before you showed your solutions, using inserts is what immediately came to my mind, not the bigger plate - apparently it's the path on the decision tree that is preferable to most brains for reasons
That moment where you shake your head around 28:40 when you get some kick-back on the router table is so relatable. Even more relatable is immediately going back and doing the same thing because...well...it's almost finished...lol.
I actually don't know why I shook my head. Basically whenever I make a cut like that...I cut everything EXCEPT for the end of the cut the proper way (pushing against the bit)...but then for that last little bit I do a climb cut. So I KNOW that is about to happen, but I'm prepared for it. Maybe that one pulled a bit harder than I was expecting? But yeah...not sure what the "head shake" was for.
@@Foureyes.Furniture Well, I nearly lost a finger to my router doing the last bit as a climb cut. Even though I knew what I was doing and was fully focused on the task at hand. It just grabbed and pulled my hand into the spinning bit, so be careful out there. I just know I'm not doing that anymore 😅
Dolores is a real catch, I think she deserves a raise 😂 Also I don't understand how popping epoxy bubbles triggers their trypophobia. I mean you are getting rid of them.
I beat my trypophobia by eating honeycombs. Not the bee kind, but the childhood sugary cereal kind. They used to scare me but your epoxy bubble popping made me realize I had to face my fears. Now thanks to you I need to conquer my citrophobia... darned lemons
Real honeycomb is even tastier to eat than the cereal kind. One has to spit out the wax afterwards, but it's worth the hassle. Also, candles made from this wax smell heavenly
Awesome Job!!!! You put together an amazing video!!! This seems like it has as much time or more to put this together the video than the project. You could say that the by-product of these videos is some wood builds. Anyhow, it's about time someone like yourself used PE plastic for a form release. I used to make boats as well and used PE plastic to release resin.
I would say they take about equal amount of time. And in all seriousness, the build is the by-product. Put it this way...if it was the day before I was going to publish a video, the tables done, the videos done... and somebody said either the table or the video must be destroyed right now. I would destroy the table in a heart beat...wouldn't even have to think about it.
Oh man the larger plate or possibly just some sort of sled for the router is what first popped into my head. Looks like your method worked. Joys of woodworking, more than one way to accomplish the same result.
Great work. For the last point about the joined/seperated legs. The 8 inserts you spent the time routing out individually might have been better to do as an octagonal ring that the legs would attach to and form a lower assembly that the table is then put on top of. If orientation is important, having a "Key" on one side would allow for that to be maintained.
For the sake of return on investment, and in this situation I’m primarily referring to your time - I appreciate that you take so much time to keep your videos interesting and as void of CNC magic as humanly possible. And no, I’m not one of those guys that hates on CNC because I can’t afford one, or because I believe that everything (should) be as difficult as possible by utilizing techniques from the 1800’s. As a woodworker myself, I tend to gravitate towards videos such as yours because 1) They’re great, and 2) It’s fun to watch someone far over my skill set pull these builds off in a challenging way. Your time and efforts aren’t unnoticed. Great stuff, man.
Great Trypophobia!! I just agreed to make my wife and I a circular kitchenette table. We agreed on a 36” diameter and your “size to seat” breakdown just made me realize I needed to do a 40” diameter.
As a Susan & often teased about the association to the spinning service aid,, I can proudly say that I resemble that remark! 😆 Well, at times, or rather, working hard as a "cat bed".
@@Foureyes.Furniturethat's what good wives always do On a sidenote one could invent some useful fixture and call it "industrious Dolores" to counterbalance the "lazy Susan"
I even watched the 23 seconds on the beginner woodworking course even though I got the over right on the threaded inserts and I'm not a beginner to woodworking
As always, a master class in all things. Your video making skills your CAD skills, your woodworking skills, damn this entire video is just so impressive.
I’ve gotta say: you are seriously, incredibly, wildly talented, man. The design and execution of this table are 100% perfection. With a table this beautiful, one has to feel sympathy for the chairs that have to sit under it / be made to feel inadequate by it! Chef’s kiss 🤌🏻 on your work here. Congrats!
13:23 I feel like you didn't really finish the explanation of the name change to QWERK on your products? I don't have any problem with it at all, but you started hinting at the reason, segued into the Shopify-ad, and then never really got back to the point. It doesn't really matter, but it really distracted me and I had to go looking through the comments to see if anyone else mentioned it, and then I missed two minutes of the video, and had to go rewind. So I guess that got you some extra watch time, which is well-deserved and almost as great as removing bubbles. Anyway. Just needed to type this out, or my brain would explode.
I think they did; he felt if the brand/company was 4-eyes it would basically just be about him ala Martha Stewart. He decided he has a better shot at growing a larger company doing more things/products with a different name. I can see the point (if you decided to sell bespoke fingernail clippers to rich people maybe "4eyes" isn't the move) but damned if it isn't the most generic cloud-board amalgamation of a name that feels like a million Chinese brands I see on amazon, I already can't remember it and I just saw it
Lazy Susan - Thomas Jefferson invented them for his daughter, Susan, who often complained that she was always the last to be served at the dinner table.
Yeah, even basic arachnophobia - the common kind where it's moderately unpleasant to have to deal with the things and highly preferable not to come in direct contact with them, i.e. not some extreme variety where one is afraid to even look at the thing, is already making my life somewhat more complicated from time to time (all this looking for a plastic cup and a sheet of paper to trap and extradite the creature). Having a problem looking at a bunch of bubbles or circles would be worse I suspect. For instance, do those affected fear sponges? A sponge is something that's very useful in a day-to-day life...
I really like that you don't show off what the project is going to look like in the opening minute of the video. It can be really hard to navigate around in other creator's videos, so I appreciate that your videos don't force me to try and fast-forward while peeking through my fingers.
I personally think that the bubble popping is great, its like watching one of those satisfaction videos. Beautiful table, beautiful video composition, and fantastic editing!
Extended sub base for the router 100% works. I make mine out of 6 or 8mm acrylic so you can still see what's going on. Also great for preventing the router tipping when routing edge details at the corners of rectangular pieces.
Oh my, oh me, oh god !!!!!! If I had the money I'd contract you to do EVERY, PIECE of custom wood work in my home!!!!! For real. But I dont. What a let down. NOT EVEN one, without saving for years!!! I love wood, the more craggy and ruff the more interesting!!! But polish it up and wow, it just brings tears to my eyes. I LOVE for videos, haven't watched in awhile. I'm abit asbergery and jump around ALOT. If I could do life over, I'd beat myself up and do work
Chris man, loved the video. I havent gotten an update on my order for Sample73 in a while, I was in the earlier round of pre-orders. Thanks for any insight!
Hey Britt (presumably)...The first batch started shipping last week. We should have everything shipped out by the end of this week; then we should be all caught up. So hopefully you'll be getting an order in the next few days. Appreciate the support!
Love this table. If you kept metal mounting brackets, and left the proud, could you integrate that into the design. For instance put a metal ring outside the brackets as another "step" detail at the top of the legs.
Gorgeous as always. I agree that a larger cutaway at the top of the legs would be good. I would also love to see a longer, tapered relief on the underside of the top, as opposed to just a round-off. ( But in this case I think it works, design wise 🤔)
Marking out the circle ⭕️ using the jig. You could have pinned or hot melt glued a 6” ply disc in the middle of the desired table . Then cut piece of wood with a 3”radius on one end and the finished table radius the other end . So you end up with a quarter of the table sized wedge , then you just rotate it around the disc , marking the outer edge as you go
the method for pouring the epoxy is similar to the way we construct our outdoor ice hockey rink in the winter. never thought of using that method for woodworking but it works! Amazing video.
We have a saying around here: "If it's good enough for an outdoor ice hockey rink in the winter...it's good enough for tables". Glad you enjoyed the video.
2.6" can make aaaall the difference ;) Seriously though, personally I much preferred the original leg designs over the slabs. But just that tiny change makes that slab design so much more elegant imo
You could have made the bigger router plate out of acrylic so you could see through it. For a router that big it would have to be thick (like 3/4”) or use something to keep it from flexing like some aluminum channel or 8020. Super informative as always. Really appreciate the insight into the stumbles along the way and how you course correct. Cheers!
Great ALL! I really enjoy watching you and making Woodart Furniture and (as a fellow fourayes man) the name fits perfect. So Great, great and great! I kind of learn some carpentery by my self and made some stuff (with the mistakes and all) but sadly i am way toooo far away to do the course. Cheers
I know that this is during the phobia warning, but at 9:27 the grain just looks absolutely fantastic. Utterly magnificent. The finish really brings it out. Would love a whole room that looked like that.

When you named the problem, before you showed your solutions, using inserts is what immediately came to my mind, not the bigger plate - apparently it's the path on the decision tree that is preferable to most brains for reasons
This is so beautiful. What a glorious job. You are a true craftsman. X
Well done! Beautiful piece, it was a joy to watch you build it!
That moment where you shake your head around 28:40 when you get some kick-back on the router table is so relatable. Even more relatable is immediately going back and doing the same thing because...well...it's almost finished...lol.
I actually don't know why I shook my head. Basically whenever I make a cut like that...I cut everything EXCEPT for the end of the cut the proper way (pushing against the bit)...but then for that last little bit I do a climb cut. So I KNOW that is about to happen, but I'm prepared for it. Maybe that one pulled a bit harder than I was expecting? But yeah...not sure what the "head shake" was for.
@@Foureyes.Furniture Well, I nearly lost a finger to my router doing the last bit as a climb cut. Even though I knew what I was doing and was fully focused on the task at hand. It just grabbed and pulled my hand into the spinning bit, so be careful out there. I just know I'm not doing that anymore 😅
Dolores is a real catch, I think she deserves a raise 😂
Also I don't understand how popping epoxy bubbles triggers their trypophobia. I mean you are getting rid of them.
I don't suffer from it, but I expect the bubbles popping into holes is what triggers it.
I beat my trypophobia by eating honeycombs. Not the bee kind, but the childhood sugary cereal kind. They used to scare me but your epoxy bubble popping made me realize I had to face my fears. Now thanks to you I need to conquer my citrophobia... darned lemons
Real honeycomb is even tastier to eat than the cereal kind. One has to spit out the wax afterwards, but it's worth the hassle. Also, candles made from this wax smell heavenly
Nice!
Awesome Job!!!! You put together an amazing video!!! This seems like it has as much time or more to put this together the video than the project. You could say that the by-product of these videos is some wood builds. Anyhow, it's about time someone like yourself used PE plastic for a form release. I used to make boats as well and used PE plastic to release resin.
I would say they take about equal amount of time. And in all seriousness, the build is the by-product.
Put it this way...if it was the day before I was going to publish a video, the tables done, the videos done... and somebody said either the table or the video must be destroyed right now. I would destroy the table in a heart beat...wouldn't even have to think about it.
Oh man the larger plate or possibly just some sort of sled for the router is what first popped into my head. Looks like your method worked. Joys of woodworking, more than one way to accomplish the same result.
Never was so happy to see a new video on yt
Appreciate that.
I'm happy to have uploaded it :)
Great piece Chris. The paneled legs really look awesome.
They do but I agree with him - a bigger top cutout would look even better
Nicely done Chris!! Cam introduced me to your channel. Would love to see a joint project between you both.
One of these days...maybe
Great work. For the last point about the joined/seperated legs. The 8 inserts you spent the time routing out individually might have been better to do as an octagonal ring that the legs would attach to and form a lower assembly that the table is then put on top of. If orientation is important, having a "Key" on one side would allow for that to be maintained.
For the sake of return on investment, and in this situation I’m primarily referring to your time - I appreciate that you take so much time to keep your videos interesting and as void of CNC magic as humanly possible. And no, I’m not one of those guys that hates on CNC because I can’t afford one, or because I believe that everything (should) be as difficult as possible by utilizing techniques from the 1800’s. As a woodworker myself, I tend to gravitate towards videos such as yours because 1) They’re great, and 2) It’s fun to watch someone far over my skill set pull these builds off in a challenging way. Your time and efforts aren’t unnoticed. Great stuff, man.
Great Trypophobia!! I just agreed to make my wife and I a circular kitchenette table. We agreed on a 36” diameter and your “size to seat” breakdown just made me realize I needed to do a 40” diameter.
Popcorn popped, feet up, energy drink present. Time to watch Foureyes baby! Bring on the tripophobia!
slow motion bubbles are great :)
Enjoy watching. Get to see how a beautiful table come together. Thank you.
As a Susan & often teased about the association to the spinning service aid,, I can proudly say that I resemble that remark! 😆 Well, at times, or rather, working hard as a "cat bed".
Great!!! Another video from Chris and Dolores❤
Dolores is doing most of the heavy lifting here...if we're being honest
@@Foureyes.Furniturethat's what good wives always do
On a sidenote one could invent some useful fixture and call it "industrious Dolores" to counterbalance the "lazy Susan"
i feel like i have the opposite of trypophobia for these videos because those bubble pops are always r/oddlysatisfying lmao
Trypophilia, then
the only videos on youtube i dont skip
I'm honored :)
I even watched the 23 seconds on the beginner woodworking course even though I got the over right on the threaded inserts and I'm not a beginner to woodworking
It's fantastic. I wouldn't have made some different style choices, but who wouldn't? Thanks so much for taking us along for the ride!
As always, a master class in all things. Your video making skills your CAD skills, your woodworking skills, damn this entire video is just so impressive.
Greeeeaaat, well, my threaded insert math was spot on for the legs. The C channels caught me off guard though. Cheers.
Yeah...the C-channel was the real curve ball there. Not to mention those leg levelers.
I’ve gotta say: you are seriously, incredibly, wildly talented, man. The design and execution of this table are 100% perfection. With a table this beautiful, one has to feel sympathy for the chairs that have to sit under it / be made to feel inadequate by it! Chef’s kiss 🤌🏻 on your work here. Congrats!
13:23 I feel like you didn't really finish the explanation of the name change to QWERK on your products? I don't have any problem with it at all, but you started hinting at the reason, segued into the Shopify-ad, and then never really got back to the point. It doesn't really matter, but it really distracted me and I had to go looking through the comments to see if anyone else mentioned it, and then I missed two minutes of the video, and had to go rewind. So I guess that got you some extra watch time, which is well-deserved and almost as great as removing bubbles. Anyway. Just needed to type this out, or my brain would explode.
I think they did; he felt if the brand/company was 4-eyes it would basically just be about him ala Martha Stewart. He decided he has a better shot at growing a larger company doing more things/products with a different name. I can see the point (if you decided to sell bespoke fingernail clippers to rich people maybe "4eyes" isn't the move) but damned if it isn't the most generic cloud-board amalgamation of a name that feels like a million Chinese brands I see on amazon, I already can't remember it and I just saw it
slow motion bubbles are great!
I love the content. I love the commentary! Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing.
The templates you made to route out the mounting plate recesses literally blew my mind. I like the way you think sir
Lazy Susan - Thomas Jefferson invented them for his daughter, Susan, who often complained that she was always the last to be served at the dinner table.
Yeah no, that's not true at all.
Never comment, but here i am reminding you that there’s a bald guy who wants blueprints for some “spider” table legs to make them with wood
What a GREAT video !! I Truly enjoyed watching this beautiful table being built !! Thanks for sharing!! ❤ from Canada 🇨🇦
You really seem to be a amiable nerd. I love you both paying attention to the smallest details of your builds and also your videos.
I thought the agreed-upon lie was that it doesn't matter?
That's true....but for tables...it matters
Well for most thing it dose matter like the sun or the earth if the sun was bigger we would die if the earth was bigger we would die
@@The-void2445 we would only die if the size changed suddenly, if it was that way from the start we would evolve accordingly and be fine
I'm glad i don't have trypophobia
Me too
Yeah, even basic arachnophobia - the common kind where it's moderately unpleasant to have to deal with the things and highly preferable not to come in direct contact with them, i.e. not some extreme variety where one is afraid to even look at the thing, is already making my life somewhat more complicated from time to time (all this looking for a plastic cup and a sheet of paper to trap and extradite the creature).
Having a problem looking at a bunch of bubbles or circles would be worse I suspect. For instance, do those affected fear sponges? A sponge is something that's very useful in a day-to-day life...
Great video , the table looked gorgeous , so so well done , nice commentary .
I really like that you don't show off what the project is going to look like in the opening minute of the video. It can be really hard to navigate around in other creator's videos, so I appreciate that your videos don't force me to try and fast-forward while peeking through my fingers.
I personally think that the bubble popping is great, its like watching one of those satisfaction videos. Beautiful table, beautiful video composition, and fantastic editing!
Great piece of work, love it
Extended sub base for the router 100% works. I make mine out of 6 or 8mm acrylic so you can still see what's going on.
Also great for preventing the router tipping when routing edge details at the corners of rectangular pieces.
Oh my, oh me, oh god !!!!!! If I had the money I'd contract you to do EVERY, PIECE of custom wood work in my home!!!!! For real. But I dont. What a let down. NOT EVEN one, without saving for years!!! I love wood, the more craggy and ruff the more interesting!!! But polish it up and wow, it just brings tears to my eyes. I LOVE for videos, haven't watched in awhile. I'm abit asbergery and jump around ALOT. If I could do life over, I'd beat myself up and do work
Chris man, loved the video. I havent gotten an update on my order for Sample73 in a while, I was in the earlier round of pre-orders. Thanks for any insight!
Hey Britt (presumably)...The first batch started shipping last week. We should have everything shipped out by the end of this week; then we should be all caught up. So hopefully you'll be getting an order in the next few days. Appreciate the support!
amazing craftsmanship!!! Thank you for sharing this great video ❤❤❤
Thank you so much! 🙏
Love this table. If you kept metal mounting brackets, and left the proud, could you integrate that into the design. For instance put a metal ring outside the brackets as another "step" detail at the top of the legs.
Love this video! Gives me some great ideas! Love the popping of the bubbles too! 😮
Thanks for not including music in the video, really enjoying the silence and focus on the video
watching the bubbles pop are so great!
i seriously cannot fathom a breakfast nook bigger than 6ft square...
You are great. Awesome work bro. I bless you and think the world of you
I am not a woodworker but i enjoy watching ur work. Great
Gorgeous as always.
I agree that a larger cutaway at the top of the legs would be good. I would also love to see a longer, tapered relief on the underside of the top, as opposed to just a round-off. ( But in this case I think it works, design wise 🤔)
Very clever solution for routing the large under table recesses.
Slow mo bubbles are great !
Thank you for not using the cnc and showing ways to use the router. I think most people don’t have a cnc but have a router. Thank you again
great looking table and base! Also the lazy whoever was a nice touch
Lazy Dave :)
Marking out the circle ⭕️ using the jig. You could have pinned or hot melt glued a 6” ply disc in the middle of the desired table . Then cut piece of wood with a 3”radius on one end and the finished table radius the other end . So you end up with a quarter of the table sized wedge , then you just rotate it around the disc , marking the outer edge as you go
the method for pouring the epoxy is similar to the way we construct our outdoor ice hockey rink in the winter. never thought of using that method for woodworking but it works!
Amazing video.
We have a saying around here:
"If it's good enough for an outdoor ice hockey rink in the winter...it's good enough for tables".
Glad you enjoyed the video.
2.6" can make aaaall the difference ;)
Seriously though, personally I much preferred the original leg designs over the slabs. But just that tiny change makes that slab design so much more elegant imo
You could have made the bigger router plate out of acrylic so you could see through it. For a router that big it would have to be thick (like 3/4”) or use something to keep it from flexing like some aluminum channel or 8020. Super informative as always. Really appreciate the insight into the stumbles along the way and how you course correct. Cheers!
Great ALL!
I really enjoy watching you and making Woodart Furniture and (as a fellow fourayes man) the name fits perfect.
So Great, great and great!
I kind of learn some carpentery by my self and made some stuff (with the mistakes and all) but sadly i am way toooo far away to do the course.
Cheers
the recess jigs were brilliant
love it, love the insights to your design process....plus you make really fun and beautiful pieces
Thanks Michael...really appreciate that :)
The O and half template idea was genius. I like how that came together for you!
Huge router plate is the way to go for sure but what a novel solution you came up with!
I know that this is during the phobia warning, but at 9:27 the grain just looks absolutely fantastic. Utterly magnificent. The finish really brings it out. Would love a whole room that looked like that.
