We have complete plans available for this table on our website and the project covers several woodworking topics such as wood selection, milling, panel making, creating custom jigs, cutting steep angles, making miter splines and much more.

hiding out in the fridge. i always knew chris was a ... cool guy.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Put me on ice baby

[@BrianSantero]

So that's why these videos are so chill.

[@Rebecca1Tupperware]

As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement kzbin.infoUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!

Thank you Chris (and Shaun) for the amazing videos. I am gravitating to this channel more and more as days go by. You combination of amazing cinematography, relaxing music and narration is a welcome break from the more usual "I'm so excited to build something new" kind of vibe (not that there's anything wrong with it, but I am a mellow guy, so I like mellow videos I guess). I hope that some day, I will be able to have my own space and time (and some tools) to make some stuff on my own, and your videos, work methods and design philosophy are very appealing to me, so I'll keep watchin', if you keep buildin'. Thanks.

[@martinrandez7021]

your videos have greatly improved over the years Chris. It's a delight to see your work, both with wood, and cinematography. Love it :)

[@davecarter4129]

Really, really, really like this one Chris. Very clean, crisp, and accurate. A wonderful example of a great piece of furniture!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@BJHermsen]

This is one of the few channels I truly appreciate both content and Cinematography. Thank you for awesomeness.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks so much :) Glad you enjoy it!

[@zahirmamdani2319]

BUT adding music to a work channel is like saying my voice and work is so boring I need extra noise

[@bikerGP]

Wow! That design is so precise and still so light to the eye, there are so many details you can look at and are still finding new ones again. Great piece of furniture from you guys! Keep on rolling 👌🏻

[@wilhelmmatthies5921]

Wow, your table design is so beautiful. It looks ver ysculptural, meaning the proportions are well considered from every angle. I appreciate how you explain how you make things, and also show alternatives. I appreciate the fine cinematography and built in jokes too.

[@chapmanry]

You guys are a freaking hoot. I've been watching both y'alls vidjas for a while now, and am still so happy you teamed up. My dream woodworking youtube duo (/shop lead and assistant)

[@cyberspider78910]

You are not making furniture. You are creating a poetry in wood...!!

[@cherryveneer4623]

Such a beautiful table and entertaining video. As an amateur wood worker, I am constantly inspired by your design, attention to detail, and desire to share your craft. Happy 2021!

[@christinecave3534]

I just discovered your channel and I LOVE YOUR CONTENT!!! You guys are great; love your humor, and wit -- but ALSO amazed at your talent!!!! Incredible designs! Amazing!!!! Thank you for your content! It's wonderful.

[@floofynuggets]

That is absolutely beautiful. As always, thanks for bringing us along.

[@daniunai]

Watching you doing wood working is like listening to music, really nice process and works too! Thanks for sharing!

[@vincem366]

I’ve been woodworking for around five years. Still kinda new. You have crazy skill!! Thanks for the awesome video.

[@mrmukura]

It's always satisfying to improve a design, you've done well to do it on aesthetics, mechanics, and production. Excellent video, thanks for sharing

[@freivonstil]

Man i love the dynamic of you two! Those "nonsense"-scenes in between make the content even more enjoyable, than it already was :)

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@pinkyhotmessx69]

Sam Maloof would be proud of your work. It's that beautiful and poetic

[@markthompson1796]

Unreal. This is one of my favorite channels. Thanks for all the hard work.

[@TheBengstonWoodshop]

Love this! Your designs are always so elegant. I think this would look amazing as a walnut table with a contrasting wood color for the splines and miters

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks. Those are definite possibilities.

[@luizribas1202]

Congratulations on the content, the videos are very relaxing and well done! Your designs are amazing, the details make all the difference. Again, congratulations, awesome videos!!!

[@dfrechettej3v]

Nice build, nicely described with nice music in the background. Love it.

You guys need to make a "Thicknii: shirt and/or stickers!

That’s beautiful I love mid-century modern!

[@woodworkingaspirations1720]

Beautiful table. Watching for the third time.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Nice. Third time is the charm 😊

[@bernardwind1633]

Great explainatory graphics, nice work on the vid and I love the table - it looks architectural

[@mnoutback]

I'm watching this again to get ideas on how to do the joinery on a similar table I'm making for our kitchen. I found that making sled jigs with hot glue is a lot faster and more reuseable while still holding everything just fine :)

[@alteredview909]

It's so fun to watch woodworking vids of someone who is also interested with fashion. Makes the video a lot more interesting.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

I love Shoes and then woodworking...in that order :) I need to make some wooden shoes

[@borgona362]

IT IS A WORK OF ART MY, FRIEND ! IM INSPIRED BY YOUR GIFT AND OF COURSE YOUR HUMOR..

[@edwarddrost5299]

I came here right after watching your Rejected Wood video. The legs are such a fascinating design, so thanks for the great videos and ideas.

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

Nice work Chris! Love seeing the old table brought back to life!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks 👍

[@avionterria7855]

I absolutely love this! Yes, made of walnut against my crisp white pottery!!!

[@karenmitchell6814]

I like your design changes too; the splined miters, the stretchers & legs. Always learning, always growing.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Glad you like them! Thanks Karen :)

[@JohnMadeit]

Love the way you explained the slight changes you made to the design from your original.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks so much!

The thumbnails do make a huge difference, looks amazing!

That gag got me so good. Easily the best one you guys have done. I literally came back to watch the video again partially to see that gag xD

[@andrewf9991]

Gorgeous

[@williamellis8993]

Nice table, great video. I understand the pleasing to the eye aspect. I wanted a specific curve one time but couldn't find a template to trace. That's when I realized I could freehand it better than using a template. I also think you guys need a couple of shock collars and whenever one of you says thicknesses, the other can zap you (lol). Have a safe and Happy New Year. Bill

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Bill...We will look into those collars :)

[@papparocket]

My living room and dining room are one space. I think that it would be awesome to have the coffee table and a dining room table of the same design!

The video and the build is amazing. I wish I had access to my tools right now to attempt this build. As I’ve just watched the Longview dining table video I’m wondering what a slightly rounded top would look like on the table.

[@dorvaci]

I was watching the video and at the same time looking for spare parts for my table saw, I came back to see the bathrobe scene, laughed out loud and knew, i missed a lot, so back to the start. Great as always guys.

haha...you missed a ton :)
