[@afschmidt1]

Hi. I'd like to purchase some plans, but the link is broken.

[@chrish227]

I am new to the chanel however I'm also a graduate with a crappy certificate I was wondering what program you use for your animations and designing

[@hiennguyencong8190]

The author does like to kzbin.infoUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. 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 practice the full stack project, is still great.

[@baronvoncash]

Thank you for not being another river table, epoxy focused channel! You're awesome and the designs you come up with look very refreshing and modern!❤

[@hn9598]

I agree I hate River tables get the epoxy thing in small amounts the reason these sort of videos are unique and require talent and people of this guys talent are rare and he has put mountains of time and sacrifice to get that talent and gifted mindset 👏 I can't past the black resin being what we used to use to repair knot damage end of 😂🤦

[@camille.c]

i am never disappointed by the production value, design prowess and subtle humour you work into your videos. it's been lovely to see the evolution of your design and production process, and to see you iterating on previous works!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thank you so much for the kind words Camille. I had, had a Bad Larry coffee table in my head for some time...so it was nice to finally get to do it :)

[@chrispark11]

The real advice at the end, with the humor used throughout… fantastic!

[@JyB818]

I have to say, I'm 52 years old and in the Midwest. I think this is a really cool looking piece. While I was watching, my 20 y/o son came in, looked over my shoulder, and said "wow, that's really cool". So, I guess there's something powerful in design that reaches a mass audience. Great piece. Thanks for the inspirational moment at the end. PS, I've spent my entire professional career in film and video. You guys do a great job with storytelling and keeping it interesting.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks so much...that comment makes my day...we definitely try to go the extra mile, so it's great to hear whenever people notice and appreciate it :)

[@stevewhitehart5795]

Great build, and not a single chipped edge.

[@Coogfan1996]

Your outro was 10/10. I really admire how you design plans with dual functionality and not just "make this" or "learn this". Fantastic video

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

I appreciate that! And glad you enoyed :)

[@Jord032]

Wow I could not be happier this popped up in my suggested. This is way above my skill level at the moment, but it looks like a project I could tackle in a year or so. Beautiful design.

[@TheBengstonWoodshop]

Just going to like before I watch it. I'm never disappointed

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Hopefully we live up to that thumbs up :)

[@kaushiksharma8390]

So true! I did the same!!!!

[@wannabefunnyman]

As I watch more and more of your videos, I’m really coming to appreciate your sense of humor. It adds a fun element to the learning. Speaking of the learning, I appreciate the relative brevity. Where more explanation is beneficial it is provided, but where it’s not needed you simply explained what you did. I haven’t decided which course I’d like to take yet, but I’m going to get one and I’m really looking forward to it.

[@naterapp7881]

That swoop of sapwood running through the drawer faces is 🤩

[@failbuoy7810]

12:57 no, you got it right the first time. it’s a trapezoid. two of the faces are parallel and the other two are not. this would just be a right trapezoid because of the two right angles.

[@susanm5692]

Love the rounder, less chunky glasses. Table design is top notch!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks

[@J.M.Lander]

Bold statement but by far the best furniture designers on KZbin. Another stunning piece, great work guys.

[@donnysarvis]

This is hands down my favorite piece you've made. It's so slick, just amazingly designed, gorgeous, stunning, etc. I'm blown away! The attention to detail is expert level stuff. I want to build this, but it is too big for my living room! Also, super impressive special effects this video! Thanks for being awesome

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thank you so much for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed. Maybe we’ll need to come out with an “even littler Larry” 😅

[@mrclark517]

I am a cabinet maker/draughtsman based in the UK and have been a subscriber to your channel for a while, and I really enjoy all the projects that you share with us, and I like the contemporary style that you guys have. When watching this video I did notice at approximately 3:36 into the video that the board you were cross cutting had been glued up with all of the annular rings facing the same way, which is generally considered to be a bad idea in fear of the board cupping, however I'm guessing that you had your reason for gluing the board up this way.

[@foos.998]

Love your mid-century pieces. Also love the illustrations/animations, they really help me understand the build better.

[@pacificdune]

I’m thinking about making the front side of this, and using it as an entertainment center under my TV. It would need a space for my PS5 (with some ventilation) and another enclosed cabinet to hide my router and a bunch of other electronics that are currently scattered on my office floor. Been thinking about a design for this for a while, and this is very close to what I had in mind. Thank you for sharing!

[@3roarel]

muchas felicidades esta muy ilustrativo tu video

[@mollylundquist9145]

Love this video...and love, love the coffee table. Wow! What I also appreciate, however, is the long, slow reveal at the end where you really take the time show off the finished piece. I'm not sure you always do that at the end of your videos: slowly, very slowly, pan over all the graining and joinery. It's so impressive and beautiful. And it caps the end of a long journey on which we've gone right along with you. What a pleasure!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thank you. Appreciate the kind words.

[@collabrewate2013]

Guys....you all define woodworking on KZbin. You all inspire, educate, push boundaries, make people laugh and ....well, we don't know you personally, but believe you all are down to earth great human beings. Thank you for all that you do! Keep being chicken tenders....

[@richardgroom988]

Now that I have seen the super secret tips for draw boxes my wood working will improve by 107% Thanks

[@johanflodkvist80]

This was a great one. Its fun that you guys are experimenting with the videos. But it feels like you recently have gone back to the old vibe with the soothing music and philosofical monolog. Im super happy about that, I get kind of an nostalgic feeling of when I started watching maker videos. This video was a perfect middle ground of your old and new style. Thanks!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

We're finding that sweet spot :)

[@davidwheeler2493]

Beautiful piece, true art

[@gthiesfeld]

Absolutely the most entertaining ad read I've ever seen. 🤣

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thank you...that actually is a very nice compliment.

[@johnisley4578]

Excellent Work, So Precise. I can clearly see it's quality not quantity with your work. Cheers

[@zerowork7631]

Why is this guy so good

[@alexakkers2859]

You guys are awesome carpenters and furniture designers....but even better video creators! Congratulations!

[@ApteryxRex]

Would love to see a design and build competition between Chris & Shaun. With the piece to be built chosen from a short list by Patreon supporters. Perhaps one every three months.

[@flyingman09101984]

I love your vids! both the craftsmanship and the humour is gold!

[@FodderMoosie]

I can't wait to make some perfect drawer boxes. Every time.

[@alvaroosorioreyes1727]

Hermoso diseño... Muy bien construido...!!! Y una presentación muy divertida, como siempre...!!! Gracias por compartir... SALUDOS...!!!

[@drmdrm3703]

Your humour is out of this world

[@juanignaciomedinamendiola1987]

I think the level you have reached is very high, I hope one day to make furniture even if it is a little similar to yours, it is a pleasure to see your videos, really, a pleasure !!!!

[@mjd4124]

So, I'm traveling with my family, (like full on indefinite traveling) and the deep dive I've done on your channel has largely scratched my building itch, so thank you. That said, you're always asking what level of detail to include vs people are just watching for entertainment. And I think that this generation of videos was pdn perfect. Further, I feel a little insecure about being called out for watching this as "entertainment" I much prefer to think of myself as aspirational.*

[@steveferguson1232]

Beautiful work. I love the blind dados

[@adriannatale2790]

high quality video, high quality build and high quality people

[@lucaszollner1518]

Thank you guys for the video. I think your work is amazing and your humour as well. Greatings from germany

[@bengoerzen712]

production value and humour just keeps leveling up guys!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

thanks!!!

[@erniereyes2831]

Thanks for sharing your videos, I really learning so much from you including tips and unconventional techniques used to vividly explained the process, hope to create more for us, who wants to learn as woodworker in this side of the planet, Kudos

[@eamonconheady9855]

I love this piece. Really, I like all your designs. They make me think somewhat of frank Lloyd wright, but if he did furniture instead of epic buildings. The attention to detail and getting all the angles lined up throughout the build makes it so visually stunning. Thank you for sharing your work!

[@fraire711]

Simply amazing what you guys are doing. I might try to build this piece. I’m going to cheat a little bit since I have access to industrial size routers at work.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks! No such thing as cheating. Whatever gets the job done. 😊

[@popsc3202]

Love the design and craftsmanship.

[@Clearbluetropical]

Wish these videos showed the business side of the project as well as the build, like cost of materials, time in labor, and how the market has effected profits and sale prices

[@HyperactiveNeuron]

As always... I love it! The final thought was deep and funny 👏👏

[@jasondoust4935]

The Masters of Awkward strike gold again. Beautifully designed and executed. I may regret this, but I'm going to show this one to my wife.

[@soyythomas]

You know what! Seeing the thumbnail I was sure I am not ready for this and skipped the video. But later I thought of the entertainment and knowledge you guys put in your videos. So watched it, Loved it. 😍 And thanks for the closing note😇🤭

[@fr3derico]

Twenty fingers up not only my thumbs! Amazing skills and Aesthetics

[@michaelsell6928]

I love the deadpan humor and head on the ground was hilarious and unexpected. Oh yeah and the piece is simply amazing!!! I’m feeling inspired!!!! Thanks!!!!

[@thatguywhomakesstuff6394]

Love the videos, honestly I'm jealous of all the nice wood you have. I'm 14, so I can't really afford thousand-dollar slabs, But I've had my share of fun with 2 by 4's. I stumbled upon a planer recently, and with that I can get boards really flat, then you just glue them together into a sheet, and sand the top and bottom. The grain doesn't line up, but with a bit of some darker stain, it looks great from a distance. I haven't made a ton of stuff, largely because I have nowhere to put it, but I built a nice desk recently, and for under $100!

[@mohedaicebear]

man I been watching for a while now and the bad Larry og was a great piece i even remember seeing it on the sketchup website. those initial shots of lil Larry rlly took my eyes its def your most elegant piece and shows off what you guys have become and your best design elements

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks so much...really appreciate that. Sometimes I feel like I'm not moving forward, but it's great that I can honestly look back at my old pieces and notice things that I'd do different design wise. I'm really happy with this one. But I hope in a year or two from now I can do the same when I look back at this :)

[@AurelShen]

The company that invited the domino's jointer said that it had barely no strengh but guaranty perfect alignement. (heard from another woodworker)

[@DjKilown]

It’s super cool watching you do this, application in my own shop , just makes a nice pile of expensive wood scrap. Again...

[@jerowns]

What a wonderful piece. You never disappoint! I’ve been enjoying your podcast the last couple of days as well. Love the banter and inside jokes with Mark and Ben. I’m still in 2017 but it’s really nice to have as shop noise in the background

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks brother...Ben and Mark are a couple of great guys :P

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Alex...I'm sure she'll come around.

[@jackwillumjensen5369]

As always, a very nice piece of furniture you produced here. I am really enjoying watching your videos. If you will allow me, I have one very small suggestion though - it might seem like a very small thing that will not be visible in the final piece anyway, but nevertheless I am going to suggest it. When looking at the countersink hole at 12:19 it looks like you could fit a hex nut in there 😊 - Countersink before drilling and the countersink will be perfect. Same amount of work, much better result.

I do not think there are any stops.
