How to Make a TV Stand / Record Player Console | Woodworking

[@NonEuclideanTacoCannon]

2:44 repairing exactly such a break was basically my introduction to wood working. I had to learn a surprising amount of things to get a new chunk of veneer to sit flush and look good. Now I'm fixing up all sorts of antique furniture. I hope to start building my own soon. Edit: Even more relevant, I'd forgotten that that veneer repair was on a record player console I bought for peanuts, for the exact reasons you mentioned. I love having something that turns my beloved music collection and equipment into a beautiful sort of show piece. Also I'm broke so I DIY basically everyting.

[@bonacci01]

Chris, your videos are my favorite woodworking videos on the web. At the same time I get depressed watching them. As an aspiring weekend woodworker with little time and skill, some of these projects look rediclously out of reach. Keep it up. You do amazing work. Do the commissions, just double your price.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Anthony just look at it piece by piece. I often do these larger projects over the course of 3 weekends with nights mixed in here and there. I know the videos make it look like it takes 3 hours... but you can definitely accomplish this kind of stuff while working full time.

[@SimplyBravo]

I'm right there with you. I just keep at it to hopefully become better and better. Ps. Love your videos Chris!

[@ecstasteve]

I appreciate how you incorporated the advert over footage of doing cuts most of us understand instead of shoving 3 minutes of advertising to ff through, Also beautiful and inspiring work. thanks for sharing holmes.

[@DJChrisArgueta]

As a vinyl DJ, I can state that you are correct. We will pay a little bit more to proudly display our records and equipment.

[@CurtisTarwater]

AHHH! Now I understand why i like your videos so much. Its the audio. You don't have narrative while you're working - you add it in post production. This is exceptional and I think I will do the same for my videos going forward. Excellent videos - keep them coming.

[@jcarlin]

Look, I don't want to gush, but… I worked at KZbin from 2010 to 2017 and I'm pretty well versed in what it has to offer. And I watch way more woodworking videos than is probably healthy. But your videos are the ones I look forward to most, and when I see a new one pop up I pretty much stop what I'm doing and watch it through. Sometimes twice. You do great work and you make great videos. Thanks for both of those things.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Jason...really appreciate that :) Whenever you have some free time, send me a DM through instagram and give me the secret code to YT so that all my videos start getting 270M view :P

[@displaychicken]

Your videos have the clearest explanation of process of any on the web. I love Ishitani’s videos for their simplicity and lack of talking and I love yours for their honesty and excellent explanations. Great job

[@lynnburke4403]

I am glad to hear that you have found this book to be very informative and helpful for your woodworking project kzbin.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO It sounds like you are well prepared and confident to build furniture for your house. I commend you and your friend for your enthusiasm and willingness to learn new things from this book. I hope you enjoy your woodworking journey and create some beautiful pieces.

[@scottconnell9834]

Nice design and build. You make excellent videos and have found the perfect balance of subtle product placement, which I know helps pay the bills, without leaving us feeling like it's a non stop advertisement sprinkled with a bit of woodworking. Well done. Looking forward to the scarf discussion.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Scott...I really appreciate that. I try to make them as palatable as possible. I only work with brands that I legitimately feel comfortable recommending, and if there is the possibility of humor/entertainment/personality, I try to include that.

[@modustrial]

This is gorgeous -- the angles are the icing on the cake!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

look at that new logo

[@modustrial]

I decided to roll with it...no time to keep working on it, and it is less crappy than the old one :)

[@WalkersWoodworks]

I really like the chamfer on the base and how the cabinet is inset from it so you can see it. Great video as always man.

[@captainahab5650]

Man I'm years behind the curve. I'm also not writing out that word which was absolutely splendid by the way. I'm just out here looking for ideas since I can't afford nice wood anymore. Sob story I know, and I stumbled across this. I like the design of the drawer pulls. It's funny, I make a fun one from old bolts. (I have a lot of large bolts. Used to operate heavy equipment.) I cut the head loose, however long I want the pull, bore a hole in the shaft part, tap it 1/4-20, and polish it to be smooth to the touch. Blue it, and voila, interesting drawer pull. Anyway, thanks for the videos.

[@johnnytestarossa]

Chris, please never lose your awesome, calm style! Your videos are so relaxing to watch. I honestly love them!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

I won't :)

[@winterjoel]

Thank you for showing the "mistakes." It's not only heartening--but nice to see how other people repair them.

[@gworker5249]

I am a woodworker and I am humbled as I watch your videos. Most of the time when I watch videos, I am horrified by the lack of skill, knowledge or attention to safety. You have it all and quality filming to boot. Thank you!

[@jackpaice]

There's such a clear upward trend to the result of both the design and the execution of your pieces. It's honestly inspiring!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks man. I really appreciate it.

[@NORFOLKIAN]

For a non vinyl collector, Joe Jackson is a solid choice to put on the turntable at the end… B6 is a classic!

[@fuertesoy]

Hola. I’d like to let you know that I love to watch your videos. To me you are genius, seriously. Now, I see that most wood workers these days go for the dominoes joiners or the biscuit joiners but I don’t see much of the traditional joining that were so difficult and time consuming. My question is, do you trust those electric joiners that much that you don’t question their endurance? Thank you.

[@saggyjello5340]

10:03 absolutely love that transition! 😍😍

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks...been messing with a way to better show what the domino is doing. Especially for people who aren't familiar with it. It's not the most visually compelling tool, so if this spices it up a bit :) :) :)

[@saggyjello5340]

Chris Salomone yeah, Definitely works.

[@johnnytestarossa]

Mind literally blown! Great transition!

[@Nachimir]

Interesting. Doing a joinery apprenticeship in the nineties, I pointed the owner to some fancy hardwood furniture with custom aluminium castings, and asked why we didn't make that kind of thing. He replied: "It takes so much time, the people doing that and getting in magazines make pin money". He mainly built bars and fitted kitchens. It's nice to see things like KZbin and Patreon keeping a load of stuff going. Your work is really good Chris, and you get the audio in your videos so right too.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

It is a pretty unique time and place we're in where all of this is possible. I know I'm personally very thankful :) Thank you for the kind words!

[@Theycallmeernie88]

Whoa that's a beautiful piece! I love the 45 degree chamfer to separate the base from the top. Awesome job Chris!

[@allanpaganini]

Hi Chris How are you? I´m watching all your videos with projects and they are amazing, beautiful too. I don´t work with woodwork but I´m aircraft mechanic and I love your projects. Congratulations by your channel from Brazil

[@SahilYousif]

Another awesome build, Chris. Those chamfers on the legs really make the separation between the two parts stand out and look very neat.

[@mastheadmike]

Really high quality editing here. I kind of can’t imagine the effort that just goes into writing and directing the videos.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

It's a lot of work. I won't lie...but it's pretty fun :)

[@eggsngritstn]

Well done as always. I'm considering a similar design for myself. I like the plywood/solid wood divider idea. Certainly helps the costs AND makes the piece a little more stable (I'm not using walnut.). Thanks for the explanation and the tip on those figure eight joiners.

[@BruceAUlrich]

I don't know which of the three is my favorite...that's a tough call. I really think using the chamfer between the base and upper section to mimic the angle lower on the base was the right call. That looks great!

[@stefaandecroo6774]

What a wonderful project. Top design. Very classy. Absolutely love it. Thank you for sharing. Cheers.

Nice work Chris! I think this is your sweet spot as a furniture maker and content creator. Hitting on all cylinders. Speaking of cylinders, I'd like to take a moment to tell everyone about SimpliCylinder...

[@lukejackson270]

Not just an 'okay' dad, but also an 'okay' carpenter. Really enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing!

[@chloeravina9817]

Your videos are always so relaxing! Do you think you could do a build where you only use pine? Ive always though pine was ugly and hard to work with but I saw a cradenza made entirely out of it and it looked really good! It was only given a protective coat, no stain so that the natural look and color of pine was maintained. I thought that was dope. I wanna see YOU do it! (if you have time :)

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Chloe. I have been wanting to try to do an upscale project using either poplar or pine, since those are kind of the "cheap" species that people get. Not sure when, but it'll happen.

[@emilylindstrom724]

I agree that would be nice to see as pine is inexpensive and soft to work with. I think a lot of the ugly with pine is people buying builder grade lumber and then finishing it with an oil that makes it that unpleasing yellow color.

[@EthanCarterDesigns]

I love this design, Chris! All the details on this one are so subtle and impactful at the same time...I especially love how the records show and the effect the chamfer angle on the base looks. And for the "record" (I predict 90% of comments will include some record pun) don't think the domino shots went unnoticed, they worked great!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

haha...people have been punning it up to me on IG and KZbin lately. :)

[@EthanCarterDesigns]

You taught us well, Chris!

[@amygvozden1139]

I love everything about your videos. You've inspired me to start taking woodworking classes (I start tomorrow morning!). Thank you for sharing all of this with us.

[@scottm9605]

Love the way that chamfer turned out on the base. I know it may not line up with your aesthetic which tends to be very clean and simple (I like that too) a classic touch would have been to run a bead or some reeding along the bottom of the "Straprons". a blank surface tends to be "slippery" to the eyes in my experience and a detail there would hold the eye and draw it along the sweep of the cabinet. Plus, this gives you an excuse to use a scratch stock which is just silly amounts of fun in my opinion. Food for thought anyways and totally unnecessary as that turned out great. Great woodworking and great video as always.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Scott...I actually ended up liking the chamfer quite a bit. I thought it fit in nicely. It's funny that a chamfer is ornate by my standards. haha.

[@otrookie]

Beautiful piece

[@thelevicole]

First: Best video yet. Some of those transitions, WOW. Second: Your buddy's music sounds like the music from This Is Us, so I keep thinking Mandy Moore or Milo Ventimiglia are going to be at the tablesaw.

[@willbuilds3618]

Those wall panels turned out to be pretty cool background pieces!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

yeah. I'm happy with them

[@MattOnYoutube_1]

Hi Chris, in flushing up the hardwood to the plywood of the divider panels, curious if you hand sanded the hardwood or used a drum sander. I’d be worried about sanding through the veneer of the ply with a hand sander while removing so much material from a rather large piece of hardwood. Also, thanks for all the content and inspiration. Been a fan since before I was woodworking.

[@ragazzocasalino]

Very nice...question: how did you attach the individual partitions to the top and base ?? pocket screws? glue? ..you did not show that part...can you please explain. very nice build. congratulations.

[@AlbertoHinojosaOrtiz]

[@shashikanthsshashikanths5060]

Hey Chris, good work....i appreciate work with uniqueness in each designs. I feel like you waste a lot wood planks when you cut it at angle, it would have been better you optimize your wood cutting ways, so as to reduce the wastage.

[@dharminderkalsi2311]

Love your videos, brother! Excellent work as usual. Can I request you do a short video on how to attach/trim edge bending (do’s and dont’s, etc). I see you have plenty experience by now building pieces with veneered plywood - a segment on edge banding will be immensely helpful! Thanks again for sharing your work.
