In this video I am building the greatest piece of furniture I’ve ever built, the Cece Rocking Chair. This chair was designed, built, and named for my new niece, Cecelia. It is made with Beech hardwood, and love. We also created long form video plans that can be purchased on our website, so go check that out if you want to build one of these for yourself, or any of our other projects. This build utilized plenty of interesting techniques including template routing, part tapering, domino connecting, and a lot of rocking good times.

Many different designs for each type of project are also included. For example, there are hundreds of designs kzbin.infoUgkxb2mhCug-GkCWrq69Ce2I0nM0D4QpxAqu for outdoor buildings, from small sheds all the way up to a complete stable. Choose whatever type of shed or storage house is right for you. Pick from fancy ones or more utilitarian designs.

[@chuchetuma]

Why didn't you show the chair rocking? Apparently I'm the only one that wanted to see that. 😑

[@vladthe_cat]

No fking way the dont show that

[@MichaelBurkhalter]

Because it sucks to use I’ll bet you

[@zerolive4146]

Damn. That intro though. They had us in the first half, not gonna lie.

[@shaunb66]

Haha! We had fun making that one.

[@jeremyspecce]

haha, i was like, "Damn, Chris is laying on the love!"

[@matthewb8229]

Okay, good, I'm not the only one thinking, "Uh, what the hell is happening here?" It was good laugh.

[@ranivive6052]

Totally agree with you 😀

[@AFBoi120]

A. 2. and D. MAN, I LOVE YOU!! Great Home Alone reference! :)

[@shaunb66]

Haha, glad you caught it. Thanks Joe!

[@jeremyspecce]

@@shaunb66 Loved it! on 2 i was like... "didn't he say A?"

[@WindRidgeWoodCrafts]

I say/write the same combos, but never thought to skip one. Definitely going to irritate the wife with this :-)

[@MJ-nb1qn]

Shaun Boyd - Foureyes - Actually kind of expected that kind of humor from one so decorous!

[@andrewcignoni3901]

Also a National Lampoons Vacation reference. Love it!

[@phugoidoscillations]

The chair is beautiful, tying the armrest into the rocker is fantastic. I really love the storyboard and interactions you throw in on top of the covering the woodworking.

[@dangitzler548]

That's a Beautiful Chair.

[@Little_Red_Riding_Hoodlum]

I just gave to tell you both that I don't build, but I love watching your channel(s)! As a freelance art teacher, I can appreciate how difficult it can be to create instructions and complete packages and projects that function for the masses. BRAVO! and nice shoes!

[@DamianoZerneri]

This is a masterpiece guys. Everything's perfect: the story, the project, the woodworking, the editing.

[@shaunb66]

Thank you! Really appreciate that!

[@torinhalsey6313]

Gold. Out-freakin'-standing. Loved the intro and outro.

[@kashgohel]

That intro. You guys are perfect comedians. :D

[@DsHardWoodCreations]

Beautiful rocking chair. Love the outside- of- box thinking.

[@RichBoud1]

Humour and design. Love it!

[@lucasstarbuck6797]

That modern rocking chair looks incredibly retro.

[@Candrabut]

I love the way you guys add humor in every video. God bless you all!

[@dmj802000]

Love the design and your guy’s humor. It’s pretty cool you guys work together now. Keep it up.

[@dsigmon09]

Your furniture and content are equally amazing!

[@shaunb66]

Thank you!

[@yarozuarich]

I just discovered your channel and I am obsessed! As a beginner woodworker, this is so inspirational! Thank you!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Awesome! Thank you! Glad you found us.

[@brianharris5456]

“A, 2, and D” hahaha! Y’all have a brand of humor that speaks to my soul. Also, your furniture, videos, teaching is amazing.

[@mikesgarage5066]

Awesome build! Looks absolutely amazing and it's great that you're able to build something that means so much to you!

[@shaunb66]

Really appreciate that! Thanks!

[@josephhynes6584]

Brilliant, this design rocks.

[@waketp420]

Nice

[@shaunb66]

Hiyo! Thanks!

[@mikechadwick2785]

You're god damn right it does.

[@waketp420]

Did no one pick up on the pun?!

[@bleedinblue5675]

20 STARS ON THAT INTRO GUYS!! That was authentic and not mind numbing like most...and OF COURSE...another great vid and QUALITY JOB on your project!

[@BreakRebuildRepeat]

I really enjoyed the discussion of the different design decisions that went into the piece instead of just the instructional way to be able to build this specific thing. Hoping for more of that in the future!

[@shaunb66]

Glad to hear that! Thanks Matt!

[@shingiroregis5908]

Sense of humor between these two >>>>>>>

[@H40XKM]

Firstly, I learned my lesson and hit the bell icon. Secondly, I just sat on a rocking bench during vacation and loved it 😂 Guess im getting old...

[@JohnMadeit]

Looks great. And they way you two interact is awesome.

[@mostych4790]

Most definitely a family heirloom! Beautiful work, Shaun!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks Mo! That's what I hope it becomes.

[@fififinance7469]

I have literally been wanting to start a channel for almost 5 years! I wanted everything to be perfect and I think that was the issue that was stopping me. Then I thought who cares, lets go. Great info😁😀

[@ericplautz3622]

You two work so well together and keep me entertained. Thank you

[@shaunb66]

Thanks for watching, Eric!

[@artofnoly9754]

It's retro-moderne. Really like it's nostalgic aspect... like something from the Great Gatsby. Top shelf stuff.

[@AnthonyLoPrimo]

Silliness aside, the design of the chair is freaking awesome. And honestly there's something about it that feels like it has more sentimental meaning to it than your other builds.

[@jeremyspecce]

I love it!! Love the desk by Jaden in the monthly feature, too!

[@shaunb66]

Thanks Jeremy! Agreed, that desk is super cool!

[@BruceAUlrich]

ha ha...love the back and forth between you two! And I love love love the rocking chair! Fantastic job!

[@natevandenheuvel3051]

I would love to see you guys design and build a mid century modern style couch!

[@kennyBlwtc]

Gorgeous! Great ID !

[@kitnarpyed4575]

Thank you. Thank intro really made me laugh just when I needed it. The video gave me the inspiration to start designing a peice that’s always been lurking in the back of my mid. Thanks again!

[@shaunb66]

Awesome, glad to hear that! Good luck with it!

[@kikikoko3266]

Thank you for the inspiration and help you offer!!

[@robmille]

The way that he smells! LOLOLOL. You guys are the absolute best!

[@supdenfoosukka]

This is great, I should try to make one.

[@felixfromnebraska8648]

What a beautiful chair Shaun. Great craftsmanship and design. Cecilia is a very lucky niece because her uncle is amazing. Have I piled it on enough????? You both are rockstars in my book. Thanks for sharing. Felix

[@ghassanboghosian5962]

You literally had me laughing out loud at the intro. I had to stop the video so I can say this. OK, back to the build…

[@shaunb66]

Haha! That is what we were going for!

[@terristroh3965]

Absolutely fantastic

[@DeGodOfTime]

Proportions ore perfect! Mid century modern, good call! Always looks great 🎉

[@jeffforbes3772]

Great project as usual. Little Cecelia will be proud.

[@phenomenal5537]

This is gorgeous

[@happyhomecrafts]

Amazing design, looks so cool!

[@DigitalSwagg]

You guys RAWK, plain and simple!

[@gordroberts53]

Stunning piece! This might be in my future. Thanks for sharing, cheers from BC!

[@GregsGarage]

Shaun always kills it.

[@shaunb66]

I certainly try! Thanks, man!

[@aarondrossart6026]

A, 2, D. I like the way you count, my friend.

[@clancyi]

[@pitymartinez876]

[@bailliefindlay194]

[@kasimbahadur2610]

Beautiful design

[@anthonybattisti908]

Gentlemen . . . you Maloof'd this one. Outstanding.

[@markarmstrong2592]

That looks AWESOME well done on another special piece

[@shaunb66]

Thanks Mark!

[@raydejesus6230]

As usual Shaun, Awesome design & build.

[@SebastianGodoyMedel]

You guys are amazing woodworkers and designers. I admire every project you have made. 🙌🏻

[@shaunb66]

Thank you!

[@FatimaBrown-ev5qb]

Love it... Beautiful design!

[@sanjaysami4315]

Stunning !

[@helderlage]

brilliant, generous and fun... as always

[@Samtagri]

Is the whole seat attached by just the two screws on the back? Because these better be some mighty screws. May have been an idea to use bigger bolts with threaded inserts.

[@MrImpalalozano]

Design is 💯. Appreciate the plans

[@chrisnorton2837]

Such a cool chair!

[@jtotheb-ip2hh]

Shaun (and others), i'm still kind of a beginner, so i just have to say that the process you demonstrate around 9:35 (and shortly before and after) was SO helpful! i think i first saw you do this in an old video on your original channel. anyway, i recently built my first bed frame and used this method to taper each of the four posts. it was easy, gave me perfectly repeated cuts, and felt safe! thanks for teaching me! and great job on this rocker -- as a father of two, i know just how important this kind of furniture is during those first months.

[@jeremyspecce]

Isn't that awesome? when you learn a new tip that makes a task that seems daunting actually easy and achievable, it's so rewarding.

[@shaunb66]

Really happy to hear that! That is really what we are hoping to do with the videos and plans. Yes, building a specific piece of furniture is great, but more than that it is the techniques and procedures that can be used on other projects that is really valuable. I know that stuff was for me when I was getting started!

[@MadeByMarylou]

super sweet shaun! love the chair

[@danfuller3646]

You guys are just plain entertaining!

[@GabeSchultz1]

These plans are game-changers. You both are killing it with these designs. Thanks for putting out this type of content!

[@razandarras5590]

This is a very smart design I would love to see a video of the designing process

[@joshgray3360]

The chair is pretty cool. That LouisvilleVW shirt tho... 😍😍

[@user9b2]

That looks amazing 👍

[@kjirstenboucher9682]

Really beautiful design!!😍

[@bigbear-js1nr]

Love watching the both of you working together lol love seeing all the cool this you both make keep it up from Australia 🇦🇺

[@shaunb66]

Thanks! Glad to hear that!

[@mrme4507]

Great into !!! Total BROmance !!!

[@ranivive6052]

Sick design. Amazing job you guys

[@rainmotiva8874]

beautiful love that idea

[@SilverFenixFyre]

excellent video, thanks guys!

[@mikemike7235]

This is beautiful! Will have to get the plans and try it out!

[@shaunb66]

Awesome! Thanks Mike!

[@danielhansen533]

Chris & Shaun, I've always enjoyed your individual channels and have even noticed design similarities; however, the two of you together produce the content I enjoy the most. I wish you both all the best.

[@shaunb66]

Really happy to hear that! Thanks Daniel!

[@CNCBits]

Love it. Didn't even make it to the build yet. Great video Chris and the new guy, lol..

[@JNDCreations]

That’s the best looking rocking chair I’ve seen! Nice job

[@shaunb66]

Really appreciate that! Thanks!

[@Oonagh72]

I would have told anyone you used a C&C machine that is just how perfect it is! I almost didn’t watch the video because I was like “I don’t have the big machine doe I couldn’t even think about it!” 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 BRAVA!

[@shaunb66]

Really appreciate it! Thank you!

[@morethanovercomer]

Two awesome dudes, thanks for this awesome piece of art!

[@mkcirederf]

Remarkably elegant, my guys!

[@hameedkhan4510]

Too good for any words...its rockin

[@rickbratto6167]

Beautiful, and has such a nice sentiment behind it. I am guessing that since you have the design on your computer, you could make the same but scaled smaller for when your niece can use it to watch PBS, etc? Probably would be very cute! Nicely designed and nicely produced. Have a great afternoon!

[@profangineer5462]

I looked with pleasure. Well done!

[@shuitaoyang]

That’s a piece of art!

[@elliotstokes6134]

Love that intro you guys!!

[@awesomearizona-dino]

Always a good watch, Thanks.

[@shaunb66]

Appreciate it! Thanks!

[@Bobby-bo3zc]

Red classic Vans👍 Shaun don't ever change your shoes. Awesome builds!

[@shaunb66]

I'm glad I have a few people on team Vans! Thanks Bobby!

[@scottsimpey2965]

All of your work is outstanding but that definitely takes it to a new level. I love the design of that. Incredible piece Shaun and incredible work.

[@shaunb66]

Thanks Scott! This was a fun one to design and build!

[@SVSunnyJim]

An amazing piece!

[@badasspuppy]

Gorgeous design

[@shaunb66]

Thank you!

[@1100mrjohnson]

Hahahaha, I was wondering where the beginning was going and was not disappointed - now, back to the video!

[@melvinphroadtrips5190]

New fan here from the city down under -Manila 😃 That is way better than cool!

[@kaseywarner1419]

The intro and outdo poem had me cracking up. Love the humor you two contribute

[@shaunb66]

Thanks Kasey! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@EliasMakes]

beautiful work Shaun

[@shaunb66]

Thank you!

[@ScottFrazierEnjoyingLife]

That is a beautiful work of art! You guys are great together, I really like your light-hearted attitude, "we" need that right now. I really like Chris work and looking forward to seeing what four-eyes can do. Or is it six or eight-eyes now?

[@Nickporter17]

Haha that intro was good. Reminded me a lot of the Dave series finale "prison rap" video. That's high praise too!

[@wiltondarbelles907]

Crazy sick
