// ABOUT THIS VIDEO
This was my first time using white oak in a woodworking project, and I really liked it. For this dining table, I took a different approach with the stretchers, but basically not having one. Instead, I made the upper portion of the leg more robust, and it attaches directly to the underside of the table.

If your day job isn't woodworking it should be filmmaking. I've gotten to the point where I won't watch a new video of yours until I'm sure I won't be interrupted as I watch, usually with both hands wrapped around my morning coffee. It's a great way to get a positive start on the day. Just out of curiousity, what inspired the use of oak for this build? I'm so accustomed to your use of walnut I thought I'd ask about the change. Thank you for yet another outstanding offering.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Hey Steve...really appreciate the kind words - very cool! As for the oak, I just wanted to try something different, and I knew I wanted something lighter in color. Oak has always had a negative connotation for me, so I wanted to break that. My day job is neither woodworking nor filmmaking - Hopefully someday it will be both though. Preferably somewhere in that intersection ;-)

[@Lemou2904]

Oh, coffee! I forgot all about coffee this morning... too caught up watching these videos. Maybe it would be better with coffee, too. I love the video as a whole and your calm voice just entice to relax and have a break.

[@TheGamersTerminal]

Definitely agree with Steve on this one, except I'm more of a fall asleep to it kind of person. The music and soft tone in your stories is ridiculously soothing. Hopefully you can achieve your dream of making this your dayjob. You've got a lot of talent in both areas.

[@claritysightsounddesign]

Agree.

[@glichasasha750]

Naaaah, a story teller

[@felixarmandopaezuscanga4642]

MUY buena calidad, el texto imagenes. kzbin.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO Un manuel muy completo y trabajado. Resulta muy práctico. Para principiantes y profesionales. Lo recomiendo

[@MakeSomething]

Super beautiful as always! And thanks again for the shout out!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Dave...and thank you for bringing that jig into my world. It's got all sorts of uses :)

[@WKWeber1]

Chris, I just finished a version of this table. A bit shorter so it will fit in its new location. The video and all the responses that you provided to viewers' questions were helpful in the build. It was designed to be a Christmas present, but Christmas got in the way. The new owners are excited about it being in their dining room. It was a satisfying build. Thank you for the idea of the table. You included the key information that made it possible.

[@diyhuntress]

This video and project are equally as stunning. I wish it was a full length 2 hour movie.

[@xuser9980]

I appreciate the way you "sneak up" to your pencil marks by doing repetitive cuts and how you move thoughtfully around your equipment. There is a zen to your method. Subscribed.

[@paulburt4167]

You need to write a freakin book. You're very eloquent and listening to your stories about your projects is as enjoyable as the pieces you create.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Paul...maybe someday. For now...I can barely read them :)

[@theWISEdesign]

That's a beautiful table. It'll be the inspiration for a desk I plan to build. Thanks for sharing.

[@kevinlarouche]

Love how you gave the illusion of stretcher, without actually putting one in. Great design!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Kevin!

[@OldspeedMFG]

wow that's a beautiful table

[@stanislav20]

You create beauty. That's how you give second life of the wood! Thank you from Bulgaria.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Stanislav!

[@rizqiqarumiramadhan6209]

beyond beautiful

[@sarayumeewang4125]

I love everything about this table.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Appreciate it!

[@sanramondublin]

I agree with Steve; I would like to start my day with your inspiring video. Thanks and greetings from North California.

[@jlf1430]

This table is beautiful, thank you for sharing.... Your work is definitely a reflection of your love for the wood.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks man :)

[@lugerginyu]

Gorgeous 50s style table. Wish I had the equiptment to make one too

[@tirunagariuttam]

i like the way you said "mercury retrograte". Great video and project.

[@SeanHodgins]

That is beautiful.

[@fbinaural]

Awesome job Chris.

[@ImyurLoverboy]

The woodwork is so beautiful and this video is so soothing

[@anggayudhistira9366]

beautiful piece of art.. and I love the way you narrating the video..

[@jeromemingus6190]

Cette table est magnifique ! Bravo !

[@pansvec]

I love it! Beautiful design!

[@scooppralines6428]

Still killing it!!!!!! I'm always stoked to see you videos in my feed.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

thanks Scoop :)

[@Ranger4564]

Lovely and elegant table. Nicely done.

[@jonathanmoore467]

Two of my obsessions: woodworking and astronomy. Nicely done Chris. Love your work man!!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

:)

[@gramazoid]

Ha ha!! Outstanding table Mr. Solomone! The narration, once again was eloquent and charming, leaving the lift till the end to put the smiles on our faces with "all we'll remember is the three glorious months we had it before I sold it, to make room......etc"

[@musiqclub9725]

Super chill, love the attention to detail, the calm chill vibes with the guitar. Vid and the woodworking on. Pointe!

[@ackeim]

I love your approach to design, aesthetics and utility. Cheers!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Aaron :)

[@edwinjanser9092]

Absolutely beautiful! Great video!

[@kaycox5555]

Gorgeous!

[@SteveStearns]

Chris, you have a great design style with incredible attention to detail. I am enjoying your videos and narration.

[@CatCityDesign]

Nice. Love the angles as always.

[@MrRosco9er]

Great job I love this piece

[@AndrewMcQuillen]

That is a super clean design Chris, thanks for sharing😀

[@daysedockhorn1765]

Parabéns pelo projeto. Muito obrigada por compartilhar !

[@simonem93]

Bellissimo. Sei sempre number ONE!

[@brandanscheller]

This was such a purely, authentic and relaxing video. Great work!

[@robdawley6354]

Another amazing build! The design is so clean and beautiful!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thansk Rob

[@DP-dv3kk]

simply ans elegant !! love it !

[@rjgrazioli]

I love the new foureyes content, but I really miss the tenor of these videos. There was a peace and honesty to them. I was learning, but also feeling. Thank you

[@felixfromnebraska8648]

Love your design on this piece. Very pleasing to the eye. Even though the splines are of the same wood, I think they add a lot to the design of the table. I also love your explanations of what you are doing or thinking in all of your videos. Thanks for sharing,

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Felix...appreciate the kind words. :)

[@jbrogham]

Beautiful

[@hiennguyencong8190]

Great product!!! Would buy again.

[@samuelroberts334]

Pretty cool! Really like your style of furniture!

[@wgsmcw2012]

Beautiful design, sir!

[@tommake3665]

Beautiful work Chris. Always love your videos and work.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Tom!

[@patricktdonovan]

Awesome movie Chris and just as awesome table. The oak is really beautiful, I like the beveled edges of the top and really like the subtlety of the splines they almost make it seem as if it's a super fancy joint of some sort. Love you work man and grateful I get to support you and watch you create. You're truly inspiring.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Hey Pat...thank you for the kind words and for the support. I was really pleased with the Oak. I'll definitely use it for more projects. I think it works really well on pieces like this that are large and with fairly simple/minimalist shapes.

[@rackjabbit1]

The table is beautiful, and i very much enjoy the narrative and story which goes with each build. I'm about to embark on a large walnut dining table build. The plans I've drawn up 5 years ago are basically like yours; a top with four legs which aren't traditionally 90* strait up and down. All of your work is beautiful and I really enjoy your attention to detail.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks man...appreciate the kind words, and best of luck on your build :)

[@hubie3111]

Awesome table Chris. I had same problem with my track saw until I got a dedicated rip blade. Night and day on hardwood rips

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Nice...thanks for the tip Shawn :)

[@ehaeselich]

Great build!

[@timojarv]

You are like the Bob Ross of woodworking.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

haha..."just sand the devil out of it"

[@bereketmeles4191]

That was clean work.

[@stephaniehulse6337]

Stunning!

[@CumminsDreamin]

Very nice Chris!

[@mclartywoodworks6690]

Yeah thats a great design! Well done.

[@newcollargoods]

Good call with multiple passes on the tracksaw. We've learned to do this (usually in 10mm increments) as our ts 55 has overheated a few times.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Great minds!

[@orionred2489]

I can't figure out what that would do for a through cut.

[@bereketmeles4191]

Thank you

[@nicomayer8858]

Nice video and great work as always!

[@rafaelmanuellopezsoto1638]

Congratulations, very good, very work greetings from Valencia Venezuela.

[@oscarsilwood2440]

beatiful, Great designs that you manufacture

[@tomasmendez8791]

Amazing video and text. This is very unique. Loved it.

[@MakerMaddox]

I love how you work so steady and deliberate. It shows a lot of care. I do a lot of bookbinding and that's just one slow and careful step after another. It's calming and really satisfying. I would imagine that's how your wood work feels for you.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Hey Maddox...thanks. I think it looks more relaxing on video than it actually is. Especially this build. It was hot and I was dirty and lugging around heavy stuff. I definitely has those moments of relaxation, but more often than not...it's just work :)

[@JustBuildItCanada]

That's a great looking table 👍

[@johndorlean1133]

First time to this channel and I have to say, your work as awesome as your presentation. Very well done on both.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks John...hope you dig all the videos as much :)

[@MakingStuffco]

amazing design man, lov it!

[@petergriffen6008]

I just can't get over the narration in your vids. The play on words is a perfect chemistry of skill and thoughtfulness. You have a gift. Your writing matches your woodworking. But you should be an author! Wow. Fucking amazing.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

haha...thanks Peter. I don't know about the author part though...I can barely read a book, let alone write one :)

[@gianniutube]

I loved the twist ending, Chris. It made me laugh out loud!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Gianni!

[@AV33278]

So beautiful 😍, cant believe you sold it!.

[@laszloboejte1833]

your videos are absolute therapy, and your unique sense of style and putting the elegant, humanistic angles on your works are really beautiful ! Thank you ! I'm going to go work in the the shop this weekend :)

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Nice...that's what it's all about. Thanks :)

[@WildmanTech]

That's some fine work Chris!

[@frasertones8519]

Chris Salomone is great.

[@SEBTECHDIY]

Wow beautiful dining table !!! :)

[@DuncanCox]

Loving that Katz Moses was a new patron supporter on this video

[@inayat21189]

Maaahn the way you talk!!! Won't matter if it were 6 months or 7 years.. Something like that just blows ones mind away !! Maahn I always look forward to ur videos. And yes you didn't show how you attached /or didn't attach the table top to those beautiful woodgasmic legs.( Now those are SOME legs with slot cut and grain change at the joints total respect to u dude) Loved it!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Yashika...appreciate it :)

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

Damn that's a beautiful table!

[@CraftsWithEllen]

Beautiful table! You made a complicated project look easy, which is a skill of its own.. Those washers look like a great solution, didn't know about those.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Me neither until this project...definitely very cool :)

[@evanmartin1210]

I just finished your freebie coffee table! Love it, and learned so much. I would LOVE to see plans for this table. Could you guys make a course on it?

[@richarddunn504]

Excellent as always... me too on the dining table, 10 years in and I'll get round to it any day now..🙄

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

That's always the way :)

[@RTHarman]

You tell a good story - thanks for sharing

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Hey Rob! Thanks for watching :)

[@stephan935]

I was indeed new to your channel. I really like the kindness in everything you're saying! Great work! :)

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Stephan...welcome :)

[@raynoladominguez4730]

Very nice work, it is beautiful.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Raynola!

[@mmcl1312]

Man I miss your old video formats! The solo guitar, the laid back narration, the deep thoughts. :) I mean don't get me wrong, I love your new stuff too, but this was nice to watch. ...anyhow, I'm looking back at your old table builds, thinking its time I made something big like this, now if I can only convince the wife to take the plunge (cost of wood, potential cost of failure lol!).

[@isaihalorenzi7770]

I'm subscribed to like five woodworking channels on KZbin and four eyes is my favorite

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

:)

[@judge9amr]

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Appreciate it :)

[@dangapunk312]

Very bealtifull. Congratulations!!!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Danga

[@wmwalkerco]

Awesome table Chris! Just got around to watching it. I think a lot of people have a bad connotation of Oak. Quartersawn White Oak is one of my absolute favorites to work with.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks man...yeah, I'll definitely use it again. I really ike the way it came out. Love something like walnut, but it would have been too dark for this room and set up I think.

[@10secondsrule]

“People are busy an wife gets in a way” 😂 that’s certainly my experience. Fantastic looking table!❤

[@steveyopp5794]

Think this is one of my favorites projects you've done. I especially like the lack of plywood haha

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

haha...what it lacks in plywood it makes up for in white oak

[@CTmoog]

Nice!

[@sissymcenroe105]

Your video are filmed and edited perfectly!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Sissy :)

[@jonascarlsen983]

Hi Chris. Awesome job on this table, really like the look of it. I am currently trying to build a table myself and would like to give the legs you built a go. Is there any way I can acquire/purchase the layout of them?

[@lydashop5746]

Really nice table good job

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Lyda!

[@NeilvanGeffen]

i really really really like your videos and your voice overs! Thanks for making them :)

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Ned :)

[@andrewahn7340]

If I actually used a dining table this would be it! lol Nice work Chris!

[@Nicholaskids]

Could I hire you to narrate my life ? Your voice is so soothing..

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Sure...why not :)

[@xMuNcHz]

You sir, deserve a cookie

[@summs_shop1300]

I second that haha. Seems like a really rad dude.

[@VENKOwood]

Good job
