Designing and Building a Modern Bench - Woodworking Projects

Our porch needed a bench. I rectified the problem. Admittedly, the design probably works better as a coffee table. That said, it is made out of cherry wood and features lots of weird angles. Please watch, enjoy, subscribe and share. Thanks!

[@rrialb9371]

Not only did you create an incredible piece of furniture, it's a great video. There is no banjo music in our face as there is in far too many DIY instructional videos. THANK YOU!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

haha...I actually do have a banjo. I just don't really know how to play it. Maybe I'll keep it that way :-)

[@geminaritz]

This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection kzbin.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.

[@EtherASMR]

This video itself is a piece of art. Not only is the bench a thing of beauty, but the time and effort that translates through your quality of film, edits, music, etc.... WOW. One of the few videos on KZbin that I have truly enjoyed recently.

[@CheveeDodd]

This is the most relaxing video I've ever watched. Very well done!

[@noncched6839]

Relaxing you say, of the 53,708 views 186 of them are mine. It's my new favorite video to fall asleep to.

[@supermankd]

+Mr Woodworker No.1 you are genius I'm totally listening to this in the hot tub later while I drink a nice woody scotch

[@gpo1956]

I was thinking the same thing the whole time.

[@gusthebus6194]

His voice actually reminds me of this morning wake up yoga video i used to watch haha extremely relaxing - well put

[@AnimeBoyVFX]

Cool video mate! "SUPER" relaxing video!!! I have 1 similar!!!

[@danervin2530]

I literally come here every couple years just for life inspiration. The videography mixed with the soundtrack just really nail it for me. Young kids, circumstantial frustration, it’s so relatable. This probably seems like a lifetime ago. You’re doing well, Chris.

[@TheJaredtheJaredlong]

I have a great respect for your slow, careful, craftsmanship.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

+TheJaredtheJaredlong Thanks Jared...sorry it took me a month to respond. Apparently I was slowly, and carefully, crafting this message :)

[@adamrichardson1705]

Here are some great woodworking plans that you can try out: HootWood. com

[@mccoywendell9609]

Much obliged to the creator of this plan for sharing such awesome work of yours in an extremely moderate expense [Link Here== *TopFineWoodworking. Com* ]. The nature of the work and the materials far surpasses the cost. This is the best offer as such.?

[@deanfernando2577]

I have let some of my woodwork colleagues know about this site [Link Here== *TopFineWoodworking. Com* ]. I was especially awed in the wake of experiencing the outlines and plans that were incorporated into the bundle. This is the best item for any woodwork devotee and shed manufacturer out there.?

[@jacobisbell6466]

Watched this to see how much better this channel has grown from the beginning and wholly smokes were you good from the beginning!! Fantastic

[@nfaoption]

Finally, someone who not only does design-driven woodworking but knows how to work a camera too! These are awesome man. As much as I love the sound of a saw cutting through wood IRL, the calm, soothing soundscapes of your videos fits the bill perfectly. Great work.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Nick :)

[@thetomster7625]

I love the clear an simple design language on that bench. Adding the angles to the top part as well, made it one

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Tomster...appreciate that. Glad you dig the bench and the details :)

[@pierrerousseau8770]

Hello Chris My name is Pierre Rousseau, I am from Canada. I just now discovered your channel quite by accident...the kind of accident that I really like. About 10 seconds in to the first video, I knew I was going to like it. Not just for the projects or your skills as a woodworker, but the cinematography , you obviously have some experience in visual arts of sorts !! Being a woodworker myself, I watch a lot of woodworking videos, and I think most of them are pretty good, but your video are of a very good quality !! Thank you for making them ! I will be watching. I am certain your videos will be successful Sincerely your's Pierre Rousseau

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Hey Pierre...thanks! I really appreciate the kind words. I'm glad you accidentally found me as well. Greetings from the U.S.!

[@obieguitar1]

Hypnotic narration and slow tempo allowed for my imagination to take hold. This type of instructional "storytelling" is much needed in sea of ego driven jig making how to videos. Thank you for this video and I look forward to watching others you decide to create. Thanks, Mike

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Mike...hope you dig the others as much :)

[@SixFingeredAmish]

This is awesome. I love how detailed you got into for each step and how honest your comments were.

[@musamor75]

Chris, not everything's about time. It's more about approach, and the joy that certain of these can bring. Don't be too overwhelmed by the number of tools. After all, you can boil them down to their basic functions, i;e 1)planing with, or 2)against, the grain. I'd sincerely recommend the following : 1) low-angle block plane (Veritas), 2) no.4 1/2 bench plane ( Lie Nielson and NOTHING ELSE!), 3) low-angle bevel up mitre plane (Veritas), a medium shoulder plane (Veritas again), and maybe to finish, for your pleasure, a no. 6 or 7 shooting plane (optional)of either make. Follow up with 200, 1000, 5000 grit Japanese water stones (read up on their use beforehand). The blades supplied by both makes are finely honed to start with. That's it. Bravo, well done on 2nd job. Nice work. Keep going

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

+musamor75 Thanks...I'm sure I'll get some, and get into it at some point...I'll definitely use your suggestions as a starting point in my research.

[@vinzaputra]

Seriously, This is beautiful to watch.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks vinza!

[@chimericalsoundengine]

You do great, quiet videos. Not only is the work interesting, but the tone of the videos is calming.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Mark :)

[@GeminiWoodworks]

Great video production. Entertaining all the way through. Love the design as well...good work.

[@irish73tjk]

Its awe inspiring to watch someone taking their time, not rushing steps but leveling accuracy into the work as a means of enjoying the process and honoring ones own effort, great vid, perfect music, well done Sir!

[@irish73tjk]

Oh and definitely sub'd!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Tom...glad you're digging the videos, and thank you for the support :)

[@kjellski]

I really like the style you put this together, nothing is moving my attention away from the workpeace and nearly as important, nothing is moving my attention away from your thoughts and the process you took... thanks, one sub earned... I'll tell others too!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks for the comment Kjellski! Really appreciate the support!

[@mohamedidelhadj6877]

ur right bro..."nothing is moving my attention away from the workpeace"

[@itskagiso]

I dont know what I like more.... the projects and how they turn out or the video production

[@MrDaveUsesWords]

Well done. Great minimalist vibe, excellent music pairing. Narration is filled with not only technical aspects, but thoughts on what changed in the design process. I wish there were more artisan builds like this on youtube. You got a new sub for the excellent execution.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Huge thank you tiny moo :)

[@mccoywendell9609]

*TopFineWoodworking. Com* is a fantastic website about wood working. I took various classes as well as finished a one year diploma in carpentry at a local tech college; this is much better than any book I worked out of during those lessons. It explains everything regarding woodworking as well as complements it with helpful photos.?

[@hugolsan]

Wow, what to say.. I saw there a man that's looking for something that means something, that make he fells kinda different.. I saw humidity and professionalism, passion and patience. Yes, all of that means everything. Congrats, you made see a hole new world. Thank you!!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Hugo...I appreciate the kind words! Hope you enjoy the other videos as much, and I appreciate the sub!

[@simplediyr]

The bench is great, but man your video production is amazingly sick! I absolutely love it. You got a new fan and sub here ;-)

[@gusthebus6194]

you're right - it's almost like the video wasn't about making a bench at all haha

[@adamrichardson1705]

Here are some great woodworking plans that you can try out: HootWood. com

[@bobbyrussell2674]

While starting out in woodworking it's best to pick a plan that complements your skill level. Have you made anything from wood before? If not, then pick out a very basic plan for your first project... Check out => t.co/oLg9l5gL3F

[@biggering]

Such a contrast to the practically silent double-speed Jimmy Diresta videos I've been watching. I like both styles. This one is very relaxing and it was great the way you talk through the details.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Mike. Glad you liked my style. It's funny because if you listen to the "Making It" Podcast, Jimmy is actually a very talkative guy with a lot of interesting stories to tell.

[@andrewdwillis1821]

dude how did you manage to make a video on building a bench so captivating? I was glued the whole time! what music is this?

[@TenBackWI]

I found your channel watching a Crafted Workshop video. I must say, the style of your video is unmatched. Your voice with the music in the background and the stellar camera angles, it’s all so soothing. I thank Mr. Johnny Brooke for guiding me to your channel and definitely look forward to watching more!

[@daniel_lisbona]

This is beautiful

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

+Pablo sin Carne Thanks Pablo!

[@cabbldr]

Subscribed! One of my favorite parts of woodworking is how peaceful it can be. In your own world with your own thoughts working out a complicated piece....and then the feeling of looking at your finished piece in its own space. You nailed it!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Cabbldr. Agreed. I've talked about that a lot before. It's really not "fun" in the normal sense. It is work, but it is still enjoyable...and it is very fulfilling.

[@deidealeschoonzoon8749]

I really love the relaxing style of your videos, its so peaceful nice job m8

[@1DrBar]

My favorite part was at the very end, when I realized that it was a demanding client, the Cat, who commissioned this piece. Pleasing such a client, is of the highest, most morally important, social responsibilities of an enlightened society, and one of it's "cool dudes"; right on up there with brewing great beer. You did well. You Cat has refined modern tastes. I look forward to more.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

That cat is never pleased :)

[@katchupoy01]

just want to let you know that I really like everything you do and how you do it. the furniture, the video editing, everything. more power to you. you are an inspiration.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Katchupoy. Glad you're digging it all. Don't forget to tell your friends :)

[@sharonteahen455]

Chris, you are so Talented , and I am so PROUD of all you have acoplished . Not only have you gone beyond beingA Great Husband , Father, Music player, Hard worker, Now this, a Fantastic Funiture wood maker. I wish you great Luck , and don't let anything hold you back from your creative abilities .❤️ Aunt Sharon👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@ScottHaun]

Beautiful! And excellent video. I feel so calm now.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

+Scott Haun (haunmade) Hey Scott. Glad you're nice and relaxed now. THanks for the sub!

[@ou8nucks630]

Man I really dig your format, from projects to voice over to subtle music. Top notch stuff man.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks OU8NUCKS! Glad you enjoyed it all!

[@MartyBacke]

I really enjoyed your video production style

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

+Marty Backe Thanks Marty!

[@InventionTherapy]

I could watch videos of this type of craftsmanship all day.

[@AymanAlSairafi]

very very good. loved the design, the narration and the music. two thumbs up

[@Inevitability1000]

Wow... you took a regular DIY build and made it all artsy with the 1/3rd photography and stuff. Funniest thing ever! Nice bench design.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

+Inevitability1000 Thanks! It was inevitable that somebody would do it eventually.

[@MajidAlQassimi]

Hey Chris, congrats on every aspect of your vid! Your style, narration, build, and sound and cinematography. There is plenty I learned. Liked, subscribed, and insta!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

+Majid Al Qassimi Awesome...thanks so much Majid!

[@reggieroo02]

FWIW I really enjoy your choices with sound levels. The machine noise compared to the music is just right, just loud enough to hear the sound of the saw cutting the wood, but not overpowering. There is something about the sound of saw cutting wood that makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Reggie. Glad you picked up on that. Totally agree, can be a soothing sound in the distance...but if too loud can be irritating.

[@surfboard22]

What a great video, i'm impressed of how calm and careful you work. I'm looking foward for more videos, greetings from Argentina

[@frojhe3854]

I like the way you start from a simple design and you change it with your preferences to do an original one. Good job !

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Frojhe :)

[@hspringsteen]

This video is fantastic. The production quality is one of the best I have seen. Then bench is amazing. Oh, and go Cubbies!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Howard...appreciate it!

[@Tdubs241083]

The production quality for me is only rivalled by clickspring and that's a serious complement!

[@Gazeplay]

Thank You, Chris! Thank you so mush for showing so much more than this video can show. You give hope! Your vision is so inspiring, beautifull and life bringing! Thank you!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks!

[@INHELL4]

Wow bro you are like a zen master i really liked it, is very relaxing, ommmmm

[@xXcondidiXx]

Your videos are so relaxing. You're like the Bob Ross of woodworking

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

I loved him as a kid. Used to tape him on VHS every day :)

[@MattLaneWoodshop]

Very well done, video and project!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

+Matt Lane Thanks Matt! I appreciate it...and thanks for the subscribe!

[@chronicmango]

A beautifully paced video that really captures the therapeutic nature of wood working.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

+Maxwell Mooney Thanks Maxwell! Glad it came off that way. However it comes off to people, I just tried to encapsulate what it is really like to woodwork (a slow process sometimes)

[@kalebgraham9813]

I really enjoyed the video and the accuracy and perfection you have about woodworking! keep it up man!

[@garymills6806]

Not only did I like your bench, but the video was very well done, very easy to watch. You have a great non threatening voice.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Gary! I found this out the hard way when I tried to rob a bank. Just kidding :) I appreciate the compliment!

[@livedeliciously]

30 seconds into this video and I can already tell this guy makes great videos so I subbed.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks! Hope you enjoy the others as much.

[@jacobmilrod8459]

You must really hate glue squeeze out...you are definitely the most meticulous 'gluer' I've ever seen! Your furniture is truly beautiful, I love all the angles you use in your work.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Jacob. Side note...if I am ever interviewed for a news story, etc.. under my name I'm going to request "Gluer". No matter what the story. None of this "Eye Witness", "Home Owner" BS...I want "Gluer".

[@chouks59]

Awesome work ! Great vid'

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

+chouks59 Thanks Chouks!

[@DouKeTube]

It took me a while to stop thinking 'come on, go faster!' but in the end I was subdued and just enjoyed the pace and relaxed with it. Very nice build and a great soothing video! Thanks for sharing.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

+Kelsey Dougall Thanks Kelsey. Yeah, the pace is a little slow...I guess I want it to come off kind of the way that woodworking actually is, but without it being boring. It's a fine line that (hopefully) I can stay on the correct side of.

[@DouKeTube]

+Chris Salomone I think it works well in the end, yes. I've just been watching too many Diresta videos! The change in pace was nice.

[@ADHDbuilt]

Impressive start to a new channel. I'm looking forward to more :)

[@matildacrespo1364]

I just got this package a few days ago, and I've had a hard time putting it down. There are lots of full-color pictures, with thorough descriptions of every step in the project. The plans are super easy to read and understand, unlike several others I looked at online. Definitely a valuable addition to my woodworking reference library. I would highly recommend it to anyone who's interested in woodworking *TopFineWoodworking. Com*

[@adamrichardson1705]

@Tim Olson Here's a huge collection of woodworking plans: HootWood. com I was able to build 2 sheds in my backyard with these plans so I highly recommend them.

[@themodernhack5043]

Not quite ready to launch, but we’re getting close! I can’t tell you how many times a week I come back to this video for inspiration... keep doing the damn thing Chris. -Dan

[@DiHandley]

I did....subscribe. 😀

[@PaulRecchiaJr]

I don't even know how many times I've watched this. This is such a good video - it's like watching a movie about woodworking. Everything is done with care - the woodworking, the story telling, the editing, the music. Love it. Kudos!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Hey Paul...appreciate it. Hope you've checked out the other videos as well. I think you'll like them as (or at least almost as) much. Thanks for the subscribe!

[@damianmcneely7884]

great video, a beautiful bench and the music was super relaxing...top class stuff man.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks red...appreciate it!

[@paulroithner5534]

I still don't understand how you are able to create the atmosphere but I really love it. And the commentary is perfect. Keep it up!

[@RacoonProds]

Just discovered your channel. I love the cinematography of your video! And that is a very nice looking bench. Great video. Keep it up man! :)

[@roberthoyle6442]

I really admire how carefully, slow, and accurately that you work. It certainly is reflected in your work. We all can improve our projects by doing the same !

Thank you for leaving your son in the edit. Mine is in the same stage right now. I appreciate the realness of life.

[@patrickschluter7280]

That relaxed and methodical procedure to the details really inspired me! I am often too anxious to get going and finish and therefore make mistakes! Thanks for the video! Awesome job!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Patrick...trust me, I still make mistakes :)

[@Kamo2x]

Jesus, the music choice and pace makes it sound like this was the last thing you built before dying in a horrible accident and this bench was the only thing left for your kid to remember you by.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

+Sean Robertson Hey Sean...when I built it, I didn't want to assume that I would still be around by the time I finished my next project (6 weeks is a long time). I figure I'll keep using this music...and then eventually one day I'll be right, and it will be super fitting :) Just kidding, obviously. Check out my second video. The music isn't nearly as depressing!

[@Kamo2x]

Chris Salomone I liked the coffee table one with the improvised guitar. Awesome work.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Sean! It also took way less time. Glad you enjoyed!

[@russlowrey]

Beautiful piece. Simple and elegant

[@joynerjuarez5361]

This is by far the best woodworking book I have ever read, *TopFineWoodworking. Com* . My woodworking teacher endorses it to all of his students. I am impressed how authors managed to write very detailed topics. I`m surprised by the material and didn`t have a tough time following the lessons..

Seriously Chris, this is a wonderful video. I follow a lot of fantastic creators on KZbin, and your production style and music selection is unique. And the bench is great. Please, please, please do keep making videos.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

+Corey Ward thanks Corey! I definetely will. I appreciate the compliment and the sub.

[@darthgidget286]

While I liked the bench, I actually enjoyed the calmness and artistic quality of your video. I felt like I was getting a massage in a spa with the music and gentleness of your voice. great job!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Haha...Thanks Darth. Lots of people have told me it is very Zen.

[@brandthewitt4470]

Nice job Chris. I appreciate how you show your process while also revealing your tooling. I like this because I think sometimes these things stagnate when there are really a lot of technological advances going on; a good way for me to look at my set-up through a new lens. I just came across your work yesterday, but am tuned in for more.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

+Brandt Hewitt Thanks Brandt! Glad you found me and enjoyed. With any luck I should have the next project up next week.

[@mhaz49]

Beautiful piece of furniture, and excellent video. Suggestion, do all the sanding and break the edges before assembly. That allows you to get into all the tough corners. Also, consider applying the finish to all pieces before assemble. Just tape off the joints where glue will be applied. I've found these steps save a lot of time in the long run.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Mark. I've done that on occasion in the past. I probably won't do it on the videos though, just b/c it wouldn't be as interesting to watch. Well...unless it is absolutely necessary, then I may or may not show it. In fact, on some of the other builds (cabinets) I do sand the insides before assembly...I don't think I showed it. Can't recall though.

[@andrewwelsh9192]

Hi Chris, I like watching your style of woodworking ,it's so laid back and calming . I Know I would be pleased to have and use a piece of your work. Look forward to seeing more of your designs , Andrew

Gracias....Thank you!

[@mendep120]

Really enjoyed your video. Very in touch, almost like breaking the fourth wall kind of stuff. I felt like the whole video was a ride through what your muse must have been like for the design and building process for the bench. Good stuff.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Ehm Pee. Glad you dug it...and hope you enjoy the rest of the videos as much! Appreciate the comment and support.

[@Deathsead747]

I am rendered speechless when I watch your videos, amazing stuff!

[@danconway1875]

You're video was like therapy to me, love the zen background music. You also have a great workshop and plenty of talent. Looking forward to more.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Hey Dan, Thanks! Hope you like the other videos as much. The music isn't as "Zen like", but still has a relaxing vibe to the whole thing. Appreciate the sub!

[@escaflowne33055]

Thanks a lot, Chris! The bench is amazing as the atmosphere we all breath looking you working…

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Panchi...hope you enjoy the other videos as much! Appreciate the sub :)

[@karltraunmuller7048]

Lovely aesthetics, both the video/music and the actual piece of furniture. More of this, please!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

+Karl Traunmüller Thank Karl! Next video will be out real soon!

[@AndreasHontzia]

I really love the design. It feels Japanese, 50s/60s (the best modern parts 😉), but somehow timeless. The structural component is very visual. You see, that the top tilts the legs outwards and the stretcher pulls it inwards. This creates a balance between push and pull, you can see. The finish is excellent. This bench has an aura, that attracts you to sit down.

[@islandwills2778]

i like this video simply because it shows the progression of skill from what was built earlier (the flimsy bench) to what the artisan builds now (the modern bench) It gives me hope, one of my first projects was a bench as well, though i took a different approach... i dont think my beginner bench will break easily. It is made with solid pieces of mdf and a few 1 by 2s for extra support. for a cross stretcher i built an extra shelf useful for placing shoes on. I also upholstered mine so that your arse would not get sore sitting on it.

[@Etrain14]

you're videos are the best woodworking videos ever. I love you you really analyze actual design and reasoning. Bravo...please keep them coming!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Ethan! Glad you liked this one...hope you enjoyed the others as much! Appreciate the sub.

[@zalito12]

You have made a great work with the bench and with the video, the background music and your voice make it really nice to watch, and you work so paused, it's easy to see you enjoy and love the materials.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Zalito. Hope you dig the other videos as much :)

[@BlueOceanDesigns]

Love it Chris. Being unique and to stay true to your own style is hard work. Keep on being yourself and the great work you are doing :)

[@jmcgee2013]

Yeah, this is incredibly satisfying to watch... Great video. I wish I had the space to even consider tools to try woodworking like this.

[@rousp]

Yes! This is the channel that is going to get me hooked on woodworking. Love your presentation, love your design, love your style.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

+rousp1 Haha. Get you hooked. The first taste is free :)

[@simonmetz8587]

I love the simplicity of the design, and your voiceover adds a lot to the video

[@DaMontanhaOficial]

I only subscribed because I like how precise you are when you cut and sand near the line you made on the wood.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

+Da Montanha Thanks Da! Appreciate the sub!

[@My_Fast_Life]

I like the style of the video. No crazy sped up scenes or annoying music. It really gave me a mellow feeling watching it. This bench has a George Nakashima look to it. Only thing I noticed off about the project is that you are too tall for it. Keep the videos coming. I'm a subscriber!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

+Jesse Fast Thanks. Yeah, it's an unfortunate combination of me loving furniture that is about an inch lower than average, and being a few inches taller than average.

[@李艺-e4e]

太棒了，家具最关键的是腿和门，你做得无可挑剔，你是一个天才！

[@barkingshark6413]

Nice work....I miss LA. lived there 23 years, until the traffic got out of hand.

[@Brynn_preppy67891]

Well rounded presentation with simplistic delivery and the sound ambiance is fitting for your design element. 3 years into self taught/ KZbin video sharing such as yours and I have to say this is definitely worth subscribing to for those with a passion for makers In the wood craft.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Mick...really appreciate the words of encouragement :)
