This was perfect as a vanity desk for me. kzbin.infoUgkxMAlHv7-BBWMrPRm5-uEoD6rtdT7SG2Qr Especially the glossy finish. Easy to cleanI was looking for something that wasn't the traditional white and with more of a modern feel. This fit the bill beautifully. I put it together with no problems, by myself in under an hour.Make sure you double check where you place the drawer tracks before screwing down. I had one track that needed to be aligned with different holes than the rest.

[@austinspillers6718]

your drawing is far simpler and feels more natural than the animation, so id go with that, also the piece was absolutly gorgeous

[@mollylundquist9145]

Um.... I like the animation better. Love this video.

The finished product was dope. Also, I absolutely love that you donated the profit to a charity AND that the guy who bought it doubled it. So cool.

[@powdertramps]

The extra nubs you left on the legs and stringers for clamping at the 15:00 mark is such a great move. Love that you had the foresight to leave them. You guys never stop blowing my mind with little tricks and tips.

Thanks 👍

[@GramadinGG]

I was literally thinking this same thing. Like, how many times has he done this to know to leave those there for clamping? Brilliant.

I think they learned that from a project a while ago where they temporarily glued on the off cuts to clamp. I appreciated the evolution in this build.

[@paulkochmusic]

I have to say Foureyes 2022 is really helping me develop a taste for epoxy/slab projects. Your work is such an elevation from what I had seen before that what I thought was somewhat of a gimmick of a technique (i.e. florescent blue river tables) turned out to be just early experimental iterations of a totally legitimate and potentially beautiful process when designed with care. Keep making what you feel like making, I'll be along for the ride.

Agreed. Four Eyes and Blacktail Studio are raising the bar in video style, humour & execution for me.

[@1975KyleDavid]

I enjoy watching your projects not just to see how you make things, rather to watch your problem solving tactics, or methods, in taking a piece of material (sometimes pieces) and put your imagination to the test. I like how you build your projects in how you use a combination of modern and old techniques rather than watching machines do all the work; this combination of methods allows your audience to see open-mindedness put to use. I am retired from welding and fabricating, but some of the techniques you use are used in other fields of construction, too. Keep up the good work!

After watching quite a lot of your videos over time, I want to say I appreciate the calm and relaxing tone that your videos are produced with, some of your creations I like, some I don't, but thats art, its subjective, and I can appreciate the aesthetic you are going for as well as the craftsmanship which is put in (which is more why i'm here). One major thing I've learned from you, is the value of putting the time and effort into templates. One final thing to add, we don't pay with kangaroo turds, they're too big, wombat turds are a much more viable form of currency. I like the 2d (second) drawing, it fits your channel aesthetic better and the message is conveyed just as clearly as 3d. Love how the table just pops when you finish the polishing, really brought the top to life.

I think it would be perspective distortion, because we usually see the tables from above, legs go further and they appear to get closer to one another, same if we see a long prism in isometric view, it appears to get larger in the distance

About the Chapter called "Attaching Base and Top" - The animation instantly shows you exactly what you're talking about and gets to the point with zero confusion, where as the drawing require the viewer the listen to you entire description, then put two and two together and makes them use their imagination to visualize and then understand what you are describing. But I think BOTH work perfectly fine to explain what you want us to understand and the vast majority of people (but I'm guessing ALL of YOUR viewers) will be able to handle the drawing and focus on what your words and then 'animate' it in their own head. - I feel like your channel has more of a high level intelligence audience and can handle the drawings just fine. BUT on a more complicated, unusual, and difficult to fully describe part of the project, then you should go with an animation - but that decision is up to you and should be made on how easy it is for you to describe. (Maybe test it out on someone unfamiliar with the project and see if they can understand it correct with ONLY your words and no visual aids. If they can, then a simple drawing will suffice, but if their are questions and misinterpretation then you should spend the extra time to create the animation. I understand how much more work it is to create an animation as opposed to a drawing or short paragraph, but there will be times an animation is the fastest way to convey your thoughts to the audience. Yes they make for a much higher production value in your video, but are you a wood worker or an animator?? LOL Use it sparingly if it takes a lot of extra time, but don't let the quality of your videos suffer. You really do have AMAZING videos. You put a lot of work into the videos production and that is what is so appealing about your channel. But you also put a lot of effort into the wood working itself. You have a LOT of talent and it shows. But I've never felt like I need an animation instead of a drawing to understand a step. But if you don't want to spend a bunch of time creating animations then you really don't have to because you are just that good at explaining it with little visual aid. .... Suggestion/Opinion: if you spend the time creating an animation, maybe you could add in some type of visual "flare" that gives it "your mark" ... like your animations would be identifiable as YOURS just by watching them.... maybe a type of lighting, or background style... maybe a small character in the corner... you know, make it YOURS :D (if you're REALLY good you could make a real character as doing some of the work in the animations, like cutting the wood or something like that... but I KNOW this is complete overkill and has NOTHING to do with wood working...) ... I just wanted to get your creative 'juices flowing' so you can come back to reality and apply that creativity to a signature, or a unique screen wipe, or lighting in the animations.... if you're only doing a few of them, make them stand out..... maybe one good animation per video perhaps.... okay.. I'm gonna stfu now and let YOU get back to YOUR channel while I stop telling you what you 'SHOULD DO' lol :) ... BTW I LOVE all the pieces that I've seen you create... which isn't that many, but YOU have rehashed my love of watching woodworking.... I used to watch 'This Old House' and 'The New Yankee Workshop' with my parents all the time growing up... and I forgot just how much I love to see beautiful things being made... THANK YOU :)

Hey...thanks so much for the feedback / comment. Really appreciated. I'm trying to reply to lots of people so obviously I can't reply with as lengthy of a message but thank you still :) As for the drawings / animations...I think what I'll do is pick situationally.

I had this discussion with my brother one time. He was getting a wood stove to reduce the cost of heating his house. In our suburban area, without a woodlot, firewood is the 3rd most expensive heating method after electric and kerosene. I told him it COULD be free, but there was a cost to "free" which meant scrounging every downed tree and pruned branch from the side of the road, no matter what time or weather, processing it, stacking it and dealing with the odd lengths, knots, twists, etc.

As a "hater of epoxy" tables, I just realised with your videos that they can be really beautiful when they highlight the wood as opposed to being the highlight. Keep building projects that excite you and I'll keep watching and buying the courses. I prefer the sketch, but both are fun and easy to follow, so do what you like doing. The more you like your job, the more you'll do it and the more I get to see. Win win.

Thank you Ashley. I totally agree with that stance… that is exactly how I think about the epoxy. That’s why I like black epoxy too.

I might be more paper and pencil inclined, but i definitely liked the cutaway look from your drawing. I think its the cutaway and the words/labeling that does it better.

I also love that maple ring to hide the accident! Brings a little color to it!

[@bhartissimo]

That is a gorgeous piece! And it's very nice of you to go to all that trouble for a charity. Well done, and a great 2023!

I love how you turned some potentially wasted wood into something so unique and so well made, such a lovely piece of work.

The optical illusion you mentioned reminded me of how the parthenon's columns lean inwards to counteract an optical illusion, so that they appear straight.

Wow, a great project! Beautiful...And thank you Scott for your kind donation! This piece is outstanding!!

[@robertoconnell8153]

Right on Scott, that’s a beautiful thing you did. Enjoy your beautiful table!

I’m super glad I watched this… I’ve never considered leaving “wings” on the mitered corners needing to be glued. Now starts a new trend of easier glue-ups. PRECIATYA!!!!!

I think I prefer the drawings, with the little text added in it makes it a little easier to understand the things you're describing

[@danielcranston375]

Your videos are great. The voice over is very relaxing. Perfect amount of information and humor. Keep doing what you’re doing! I prefer the drawing over the animation.

It’s so cool to see that edge pop when you add the finish

Chris I appreciate both your videos and projects and also your sense of humor in your videos!
