    Such a beautiful piece, using such a simple and accessible material! Amazing!

  • @vincentferrari

    Chris, Mike, and Ben have totally turned me around on plywood, a material I always looked down my nose at. It's amazing how much you can do with it when you embrace what it is and its uniqueness.

    • @Foureyes.Furniture
      @Foureyes.Furniture  6 років тому +2

      Nice...we all love the stuff obviously :)

    • @vincentferrari
      @vincentferrari 6 років тому +3

      I think the secret might be to stop burying the layers and embracing the stylistic flourish they bring. Edge banding is appropriate sometimes, but I really have come to love the cool layered look and I see a lot of people are starting to follow that same lead.

    • @crimsondragon20
      @crimsondragon20 6 років тому +2

      It also depends on the quality. I used to hate plywood, but that was because I was using garbage plywood.

    @davidbartsch255 5 років тому +1

    Awesome table man. I am looking at getting into woodworking myself, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet (Wisconsin winter just starting). This idea of a single piece of plywood creating this gives me hope it can be done. You clearly know what you are doing! Wish I had that knowledge bc I know it’s not as easy as you just made it look.

    • @Foureyes.Furniture

    9/10 for the design and 9/10 for the use of such a cheap material in an awesome way. One thing to make furniture from walnut or oak timber but another to make it from such a cheap material.

    Great looking table Chris! Do you just pull these designs out of thin air or do you pull inspiration from somewhere?!? I'd love to start trying some small furniture builds but don't really know where to start!

    • @Foureyes.Furniture
      @Foureyes.Furniture  6 років тому +2

      It's a mix bag. This one I started with my "Spider Table" design...I knew I wanted a similar end result, but I didn't want to just build it out of plywood, so I started thinking about how I'd go about constructing it, and that led to the negative space idea...then I just kind of let that roll.

  • @UrbanPanic
    @UrbanPanic 6 років тому +1

    Love me some additive joinery. Makes it a breeze to implement strong and attractive building techniques like through tenon joinery for frame and panel construction with limited tools, time or skill required. A viable stopgap between "authentic fine woodworking" and the "slap a bunch of 2x4s together with screws" method.

    • @Foureyes.Furniture
      @Foureyes.Furniture  6 років тому

      thanks Benjamin - well said. For me it's a great change of pace. Especially after building a slower project, this way you can really see a lot of progress in a few hours work.

    Dang. I just made a small dining table with 1 sheet of plywood (plus some scrap because I goofed.) My design has a similar vibe to this, probably because I watch all your videos and your style is like an earworm when I'm sketching. Either way, I'll check out the podcast and site to see details of the 1 sheet challenge. Cheers. Keep it up.

  • @VeniseGrr
    @VeniseGrr 6 років тому

    This is super cool! Makes me want to make one. I've always been into woodworking and even considered it as a career path at one point. I'd love to make my own furniture. Thing is, I don't own any tools at all (seriously... not even a screwdriver. I've always been able to borrow basic tools from my parents or friends, and since I'm broke, have not yet bought any of my own). I really hope one day I'll be able to have a house with a garage and a little workshop in the garage.

    • @Foureyes.Furniture
      @Foureyes.Furniture  6 років тому

      Mike's project was really cool I thought. Great idea, and for being a prototype - it came out good looking. I'd say it is like 90% of the way there to what it would be if he made another version. Ben's isn't up yet, but I expect him to kill it. Ben is always full of good ideas.

    • @shusterman11
      @shusterman11 6 років тому

      Ha, dude, I was joking. When I watched the video, it was 2 of your videos in the frames not theirs (the tv stand and something else)! So I thought you were kidding around. Now I see Mike's folding table and blank for Ben. Maybe it was a youtube glitch.

    • @Foureyes.Furniture
