Another beautiful design Shaun! I liked the way the video flowed - I felt like I went on a journey with the wood.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks, man! Thought I would try something new, and it was fun to make.

[@MultiTom1956]

Shaun, this is work of art ! Absolutely beautiful, love it 👌.Thank you

A set of those stools would look amazing at my bar. Very cool design. I like the small angles and the sliding dovetail. All the tiny details really make it pop.

[@davebeck3069]

Great video and beautiful design. I’m interested in hearing how well the dovetails stand up over time to wear and racking. I couldn’t help thinking this design could be adapted to a couch side table where the bottom supports could slide under the couch bringing the table closer to the user. Keep up the nice work.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you! I have a couple of them that get almost daily use, and I haven't had any issues with them. And yes, I have had quite a few people ask if it could be used as a side table, much like you are describing. Definitely makes sense!

It's a work of art, I really love it. I like the legs that remained light in colour, what was the wood finish that you used?

Just came across your channel. Some things you do seem to bee eyeballed yet it all turns out very precise. I admire your design ass well, but above all im impressed by your efficiency. Maybe its the magic off editing, which is also great but still you look very organised and fast in shop. Thanks for sharing. All best

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate that! Editing definitely helps make me look fast, but I like to keep my shop organized, which really does increase my efficiency. Thanks for watching!

Very impressive, loved the design and would love to try it. Can you tell me what was the degree of your miter cuts?

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate it, thanks for watching! The angle for the legs is 15 degrees from vertical. Or if you are referring to the bevel cut on the top of the legs, that is 30 degrees.

[@kenjinoftle]

Well done 👍🏼

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you!

[@codyjohnson1260]

great build man ! enjoyed the video I dabble in woodworking mainly just building tables and things for family and myself. quick question though what kind of biscuit jointer do you use in this video ? I feel it could help me out some in the shop. thanks

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks! Glad you liked it! I use a Festool Domino and it is probably the single best investment I have made for my business. The speed and accuracy it provides are invaluable.

[@AquaPeet]

Awesome design... real craftmanship. Seeing all the work that went into it, I'd expect you'd break the bar stool on my head if I asked for 11 more :D

[@michaelpeters6754]

New sub. Its your gig, so do what you like, but I'll make a suggestion. I like the timelapse aspect and the music and what you are making. I think some explanation of key elements fit into the timelapse would be as entertaining and would help make it instructional as well. Perhaps broaden your viewer base by doing so, as there is nothing to learn really from this. Even as an experienced woodworker it would be interesting to hear why you did certain things.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks for watching, and thanks for the thoughtful comment. I thing you are right, and I have definitely considered adding some explanation. Maybe I will give it a shot in an upcoming video.

[@120Livi]

Watch Primative Technology as a possible example of a solution, he does silent videos but adds a few sentences of narrative with captions which can be switched on or off. I personally prefer the no talking.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Using the captions is a really good idea. Thanks for the tip.

[@KenpoMoogy]

I humbly disagree. AS a new woodworker, i'd like to hear the voice of the artist as they explain.

[@Diamondback338]

I personally disagree. As a professional woodworker if I was to do a video I would not be focused on explaining my work. It isn’t my interest to teach anyone, but to show the process and end result. There is a lot of information to be gleaned to those who have their eyes and minds open to what they are observing. It is not the job of the creator to give away all aspects of hard earned knowledge. I guess what I am saying is, when doing this professionally you must also be aware of everyone else out there trying to knock off your hard work and investment in IP. Some people will absolutely take an idea and run with it. You’re not doing yourself, the originator, any favors by explaining in depth how it is done. Unless, your model is more like the wood whisperer where you don’t actually make a living from woodwork, but earn a living from selling articles, magazines, instructional videos, and advertisement space. I like these videos more as production videos that illustrate the hand made/bespoke process and end product. As a new wood worker, I understand your position of wanting explanations. I was there once too. So I gleaned as much as I could about techniques from every source I could, apprenticed in custom cabinetry shops for 7 years and also worked on my own projects to push myself to learn how to build and design. And read, read, read + contemplate and test via project builds. Establishing personal relationships with other woodworking professionals is also key. Should the guys who put themselves through the rigors of earning their knowledge be expected to hand over their experience to everyone and anyone because they made a KZbin video documenting a build? I say no.

[@MyJosePrado]

Hello Shaun I just discovered your channel. Great work! I see you have a 2030 joiner-planer I see you have a dust extraction system installed. Is it your fabrication or did you buy it? Do you have any photos/video/etc. of its fabrication? I have the same joiner-planer w/o the extraction system. Thanks

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Hi Jose, thanks for your comment. The dust collection is all plumbed to my main dust collector. I have videos of making and plumbing that system. As for the dust collection specific to the planer and jointer, it is pretty simple. The dust hood on the planer came with the machine when I got it, I just installed the proper adapter to attach it to the 4" hose. For the jointer I just clamp a 4" hose below below and it does a decent job getting most of the chips. I want to eventually build a proper enclosure under the jointer to really seal it up. Hope that helps.

[@MyJosePrado]

Thanks. I'll check w Makita to see if they still distribute the dust hood for the planer. I got mine used and so it did not include the hood.

[@MyJosePrado]

Hi Shaun have you built a high table to go with these wonderful stools? And as regard to the silent videos I love the quite approach especially for helping get my new born baby to sleep. We both seem to like em.

[@gmor46]

Awesome build man! Can I ask you what’s the size of your shop besides the back room? I’m setting up shop and I like your setup....

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks, really appreciate it! The shop space is somewhere around 700 square feet, not including the back room and the bathroom. I wanted to have the table saw and the assembly table be the center point, and everything else organized around that. It has taken a bit of rearranging, but I think I have it organized really well now.

[@gmor46]

Shaun Boyd thanks...it looks like it has a good flow...I only have to deal with a 12x24 so almost half of yours but I like the flow....

[@roberthamrick4238]

Hey sir. Just curious. What is the size of your shop. It seems like you're doing awesome work in a very small space. Love the channel.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks! That was a fairly small shop, I think it was around 15'x30'

[@laurabarrerablas1831]

Wow!

[@WimPrest]

This this this! It probably took forever to edit (did it?), but the transitions and pacing made for an eminently watchable video. Gorgeous work and a great eye for both still and moving pictures. ;)

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate the kind words! Editing takes some time, but I enjoy it. The hard part for this one was filming it all to flow together. It was a fun challenge, though.

[@WimPrest]

Two questions: 1) what do you design your stuff ahead of time in? (assuming you do) 2) Did you map out all of the transitions in this ahead of time as well?

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Most of the time just pencil and paper, then do a full-size version on a piece of MDF, and make templates from that. I have dabbled with Sketch-up, but should probably start learning to use it more. With the video, I tried to think a few shots ahead as I was filming, but couldn't really plan too much. Too many things can change along the way, so I tried to just figure it out on the fly.

[@WimPrest]

Awesome. Well you're fast becoming my favorite KZbin maker. Looking forward to the next project.
