ABOUT THIS VIDEO
There were a lot of firsts with this project. First ever Carob Wood slab, first time using Iron Bark Eucalyptus. Even some of the woodworking techniques I used were firsts for me. Plus, I do something that might make woodworkers unhappy with me in how I ultimately treat this wood. But don't judge until you see the finished result!

Thank you so much for watching this video everybody! I hope you enjoy it. If you want to bid on the "Auction for Charity" piece here is the link: Auction - www.foureyesfurniture.com/auction Support the show here - www.patreon.com/ChrisSalomone Check out our woodworking plans / project courses here - www.foureyesfurniture.com/plans

[@bluecurlygirl]

Is there a way to contribute to the charity for those of us who can't afford to bid or can't afford to have it shipped across the ocean?

Grab a UK pint. You get 68 extra millilitres. 😉

[@fireknight673]

Check out the link I have a 5 inch beard from chin and can see and breathe perfectly fine You do dup over audio so it's not a problem I know there are brands with built in radio systems for safety but the cost gets up there. For the cost of a slab it's worth your health

There are masks that fit over your entire face which might work better if you have a beard. I've seen one that even has forced air ventilation to both make it easier to breathe, prevent fogging and keep you cool.

The charcoal looks amazing. You are a great storyteller and an incredible woodworker. Your videos are so unique compared to every other woodworking channel. You know that feeling you get when you are drawn in by the story of a great book? I get that feeling watching your videos. Keep up the great work, and thanks for sharing your experiences with us.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Wow...really appreciate that. That's some high praise. I'm glad people are liking the less straight forward voice overs. I will say it makes it more fun to put the video together. Saying "next I cut this, then I cut that..." gets pretty boring for me.

[@gastonlaberge2119]

"You are a great storyteller" Sure...getting you to shut up is the thing...Seriously, you bang on about every decision. There's no gaps just a constant opining. Sometimes it's better to let the work do the talkin (or at least some of it). It ends up making you sound pretentious.

As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practise the full stack project, is still great.

I could totally design and 3D print some of those clamp blocks for you! I work in industrial 3D printing so I could make em out of a neat material like nylon carbon fiber or something tougher then traditional 3D prints. I really love how this table turned out and was split on the darker colored legs until you showed the side by side. Fantastic work as always!

Came here to make the same comment: Check out Versaflow

[@gbspikyfish]

I've used the Trend Airshield Pro for many years and found it to be great - though sometimes a little loud, and it can move around a bit due to being top heavy. I'm now using one of the 3M Versaflow units and it's so much more comfortable - but granted much more expensive.

[@justuntlsundown]

I'm normally pretty purist when it comes to staining and finishing, but I have to say, the charcoal was the right call for the top. And again, you were absolutely right to paint the bottom because it just didn't pair well otherwise. You surprised me honestly, because I don't know that I would have even thought to do either of those things myself. But in my humble opinion, you did what was best for the piece. Looks kinda brutalist now, and it's truly beautiful. Nice work.

[@kswas2784]

Wow! At first I thought it should have been left natural as well but I completely agree with how different some of the graining can look - same issue that you can have with oak. I really love your finish selection for both the top & legs. My only regret is that you haven't named a fly "Marty"...

One of the reasons to build your own furniture is to make it look the way you want it to look. I didn’t either build or commission this, so it doesn’t matter that I’d have gone for the redder color. The design, comments, and video are all very nicely done.

[@jtsholtod.79]

If you've ever seen a carob pod, it's dark on the outside but golden on the inside. I think you're doing justice to the species by using a charcoal finish, even if the inside is still lighter.

[@BeauChampion]

I am totally with you on the charcoal. It came out amazing! Gotta admit, the black on the base threw me. But like others have said, it's your project and you are happy with it. That's the goal, right? 😄 I'm not going to repeat all the other comments here even though they are spot on. I will say that other woodworkers post a 28 minute video and I sigh and scroll on. You post one and I save it until I can give it my full attention. Then when I can't finish I come back when it has my full attention again. I love what you do.

[@JamieTheSassenachLass]

Your work..or should I say your professional craftsmanship, makes beautiful and unique looking furniture. I’m new to your channel, and have a suggestion. Do an abstract dinning table with different shaped, multiple species of wood with hints of earth tone resin. I bet you could build that and make the wood pop. I think it would sell high and give you even more money for your charity! Thank you for having such a huge heart for these women and children! ❤

[@X22GJP]

Stunning piece of furniture, and love the choice of finish. Also love the level of psychology in the video 😉 Talking about how others ask to smash this and click that is a great way of indirectly planting the seed. Just as people are reaching to grab their phones to say, “But talking about it is the same as asking”, you smack them with the fact that what matters most is just watching the videos! I couldn’t agree more, and can’t wait for the next one 😊

Your woodworking skills and choices as well as discussion, thought process and arguments are interesting and add to the overall enjoyment for me. I liked how you "thought out" how to anchor the tabletop and the drawings that showed alternative ways that would have also have worked, and why you chose the final attachment design.

Thank you for another great video. Your artistic capabilities shows well in your videos. To the question of the table, it doesn’t matter if I like it or not. This isn’t a commissioned piece. The only one that has to like it is you. That’s the great part about doing non-commissioned builds. I will say that the fact you took the time to think about that grain coloring and find a way to make it more appealing to you speaks a lot.

Amazing designs! I hope you don't mind a little suggestion to save a little time, but for those aluminum mounting brackets you might just cut the corners (no pun intended) on the brackets to the routed shape so you won't have to chisel the sharp corners. This might also in the future prevent the wood from splitting in those sharp corners from any stress between the table and legs.

Going slow and taking your time is such an underrated tip. I feel so rushed most of the time I'm in my garage shop because my time to do any woodworking is so limited, and I want to maximize my time spent working on a piece before one of the kids needs something or my wife finally realizes I'm nowhere to be found... I've rushed my way into a fairly serious injury and learned a hard lesson.

For the respirator beard thing. Your need a good seal but if you get the right respirator it can cover 90% of the bearer well.

[@GenderSkins]

You said something that to me holds very true as a wood worker. And that is yes when building or even restoring a piece of furniture we often build it or restore it to "our" specifications. But sometimes those specifications have to be some what flexible to the piece we are working with, or else that piece just becomes a piece of garbage or fire wood. It's like with a headboard I made years and years ago when I was still a teen who was still just starting out. That piece of wood had a flaw in it, that caused me to have to change the design of the headboard to incorporate the flaw on the corner from the wood having a split in it that resulted in that corner sloping off. The guy who bought it loved it, and said it added character to the piece, but I was never happy with it but I was not about to scrap a piece of $40 dollar wood over a flaw.

Mathematically and naturally, 12 is a magic number as when doing math in your head, it is divisible by so many numbers, therefore 12 is an advanced builder's number. Going smaller, anything smaller than 1/32" will never be noticed by a human being with typical craftsman stuff. With metric going larger goes from wee to weird to huge. Metric is not made for builders and craftsman as much as the scientists and archeologists want it to be. It is for the guys that need paper to divide 5 in half. The problem lies in the fact that all of our math teachers were already confused themselves! Fractions could have been so easy!

It's a nice table. It really ties the room together.

Hey there, i work in India mostly with Kaja live edge planks making tables and your project gives me new elements to play with. Thanks for the wonderful work and the inspirations.

I've been sanding hardwood floors for 20+ years. Your sanding technique is spot on. Slow and steady, and let the machine glide and do its job. Nice work!!

Both colour choices are awesome, project turned out perfect. Love your work and presentation.

This table is freaking gorgeous. And the whole video is super entertaining and fun to watch!

One day, about a year ago, I realized that hurrying and trying to beat some made up time frame that I created was not only making me hate woodworking, but it was also wrecking my work. Good stuff.
