I like your videos, thanks

[@d.s.3551]

What about a thick wife rachet strap instead of all the clamps? 🤷‍♀️ Great

[@akhrep]

As always, nice job! I'm interested about the results of the custom vs standard furniture results. Do you think that sharing the story behind it might induce a bias in the people who bid? Nonetheless, it will still be interesting to see where it ends up.

[@TheMerchantGuild]

Omg please get a big banner that says 'if its good enough for carbon racing kayaks, its good enough tables' thats the best conversation starter for the workshop haha

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Honestly...I would do something like that...unfortunately most of the conversation would be me having to explain myself in the comments section of all future videos.

[@1mcarrell]

​@@Foureyes.FurnitureMore future engagement

[@KraigElliottWW]

Big John is such a kind guy! I had the pleasure to meet him at IWF Las Vegas last year.

[@BoraHorzaGobuchul]

​​@@1mcarrellTrue, but I suspect he has sufficient organic engagement he has to deal with and which probably exceeds his capacity already. Also: big banners are relatively expensive

[@MazeFrame]

@@BoraHorzaGobuchul Order banners via companies that make them for construction sites, surprisingly cheap that way.

[@NicholasNell]

I actually find it quite refreshing to not have any music playing in the background. Really enjoy your videos and think your designs are among the best here on KZbin. Keep up the good work.

[@plumbthumbs9584]

Agreed, with the narration and writing being so strong, none needed.

[@BPBomber]

Chris, your talents don’t stop with the design and build. Your video editing and voiceovers are every bit as meticulously crafted as your furniture. Trypophobia.

[@skittey.]

nothing gets me invested as much as your pieces and calm commentary. Thanks

[@twomgwu17]

I appreciate that you acknowledged that rockler sent you many of the tools. That kind of transparency doesn't happen nearly often enough and it reflects integrity.

[@rhkips]

I remember my grandfather had a very similar gripe with the "lazy Susan" nomenclature as you do, and he made it a point to call it the "round-a-go." My grandmother always used it to display flower arrangements, candles, or other occasional decorations for family gatherings. My grandfather passed away in 2008, a month shy of his 100th birthday, but my mother still has that same round-a-go, and it still makes its appearance at the holidays, beautifully adorned and radiant with memories.

[@songofshadow5043]

Aw. Thanks for sharing!

[@BoraHorzaGobuchul]

Yeah, I'm baffled at the name as well. Here in Mordor they are called (I'm providing literal translation here) "carousel" or "rotating menagerie". Though "lazy Susan" is nowadays often appended (in English) to the name since it has become a sort of unique identifier for it...

[@prophetableforprophet]

My great grandfather hated when toilets were called Johns. Bet you can guess his first name.

[@kwalker123]

My grandparents had a truly huge round table in their eat-in kitchen. We used to get 10 people around the table without problems. For a round table of that size, having a round-a-go in the middle was very helpful and used often to pass dishes! (We did call it a Lazy Susan, which was a point of contention for my sister named - you guessed it - Susan.)

[@ramidia2839]

That shop hand Dolores needs a raise. She puts up with a lot of jokes from her boss.

[@msensenbaugh]

Borderline hostile workplace. Delores blink 3 times rapidly in the next video if you need help.

[@CroshVine]

26:12 That "Dave's a c***sucker" line cracked me up so hard.

[@BoraHorzaGobuchul]

Wonder if it's marketable

[@Robertlavigne1]

Yeah that landed hard for me as well!

[@CroshVine]

@@BoraHorzaGobuchul Haha, everything is marketable. It just might be a market of 2.

[@mikoajp.5890]

That lazy Susan is beautiful too, and on table this size is a very, very practical accessory. They had a great idea to ask for it from same slab.

[@winkletsdad]

That table is great. The process is great. Big John is great. The whole shooting match is great. Just great.

[@sleepy_panda4847]

The router idea works, I use a 3/4 inch plexiglass mount on most of my routers for this exact reason. You can also add handles to this to help with control on wider tasks... Albeit I use it for timber framing, so a bit larger sticks. Love the vids, projects, and commentary! Keep up the good work.

Think of bubble wrap. Everyone is an adult, before the bubble wrap shows up. Love me some bubble wrap! Sorry, no trypophobia here! steve

[@bartsons]

About the CNC dilemma.. I would LOVE to see more CNC content. There is a big difference in throwing a slab on there and watching it do a 2h timelapse and giving valuable information about the programming, feeds and speeds, workholding and other CNC related stuff. Take us through the process! you provide a lot of value with the woodworking tips you share, and I can only imagine you'd do the same with CNC related content. I recently got a CNC similar to yours and am looking to make it a big part of my engineering business (yes I am biased :) ) Unfortunately I have not found a lot of CNC content on youtube where people implement it in a making project like the projects you do. Most of the time its JUST the CNC stuff. I know CNC is intimidating, it took me 3 months of fulltime effort to get everything operating nicely (long story), but its so worth it. Go for it dude! :D

[@Von24K]

Man... I was just over here in the deepest thought of what I was about to do, watch, or if I wanted to go somewhere. Problem solved right here. Thanks my guy.

[@erictapley7514]

I’m a huge fan of your videos and, especially, the illustrations you make to help convey visual ideas and why you made different choices, and what those look like. It’s a great way to help visualize otherwise complex and hard to describe thoughts. Thank you, and keep it up!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Eric...appreciate it

[@dougggiereid]

Great. As is the video, as usual. I literally watch every second of all you videos. This table is yet another inspiring, amazing, beautiful piece of wood art. Love it. Love your work! And your humor!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Doug...really appreciate it :)

[@BoraHorzaGobuchul]

​@@Foureyes.Furnitureyou're one of the few woodworkers with top-notch content. There's you, Shaun, and Cam - sort of a trinity of high-value woodworking entertainment, well, also bourbon moth, so more of a quartet actually. Then there's Pedula, Lincoln, and that young dude making stuff on weekends away from college, Make with Miles, and Michael Alm. Also interesting but not as enthralling. Then there's the more specific channels dealing with tools, their use, and safety - the stumpy nubs comes to mind. If I were forced to limit my content to say three channels, all but the first three would have to go.

[@CHenry1951]

That's a beauty., your customers should be impressed......................... Thanks for sharing !!

[@peterlewis7397]

I’m always delighted to see a new video from you. This one’s great. As exceptional as the table is, I think your voiceovers are the best part of the package. Wonderful grain in the wood.

[@BoraHorzaGobuchul]

The photography is also very high quality. It's practically an A-list movie experience

[@bobbywweaver]

That moment where you shake your head around 28:40 when you get some kick-back on the router table is so relatable. Even more relatable is immediately going back and doing the same thing because...well...it's almost finished...lol.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

I actually don't know why I shook my head. Basically whenever I make a cut like that...I cut everything EXCEPT for the end of the cut the proper way (pushing against the bit)...but then for that last little bit I do a climb cut. So I KNOW that is about to happen, but I'm prepared for it. Maybe that one pulled a bit harder than I was expecting? But yeah...not sure what the "head shake" was for.

[@duprod5482]

​@@Foureyes.Furniture Well, I nearly lost a finger to my router doing the last bit as a climb cut. Even though I knew what I was doing and was fully focused on the task at hand. It just grabbed and pulled my hand into the spinning bit, so be careful out there. I just know I'm not doing that anymore 😅

[@fayore792]

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

[@mascatrails661]

[@Keasbeysknight]

Delores is a national treasure, shes great!

[@PhtevenTheDuck]

13:23 I feel like you didn't really finish the explanation of the name change to QWERK on your products? I don't have any problem with it at all, but you started hinting at the reason, segued into the Shopify-ad, and then never really got back to the point. It doesn't really matter, but it really distracted me and I had to go looking through the comments to see if anyone else mentioned it, and then I missed two minutes of the video, and had to go rewind. So I guess that got you some extra watch time, which is well-deserved and almost as great as removing bubbles. Anyway. Just needed to type this out, or my brain would explode.

[@NikolaHoward]

Those small bubbles are Great! And this table is outstanding! Such a good look, Elm is lush! and I love the lazy Susan detailing.

[@S133S]

What a beautiful job! I’ve been following you for several months, but I’ve never left a comment before, sorry about that! I find your videos incredibly entertaining, and I absolutely love your sense of humor. As for your projects, they’re simply amazing. With my comment, I’ll leave you one unsolicited piece of advice: You’re young, and I understand that moving heavy objects at your age doesn’t seem like a big deal. I’m 50 now, and I used to be just like you, but now life is collecting the bill, and I’m starting to feel it in my back and knees. Consider using protection for your back and knees!

[@DeanNoseworthy]

I've been watching woodworking videos for a little while now and just recently discovered yours. Not only do I appreciate your woodworking skills but your humor is second to none. your videos are really entertaining. I literally LOL'd when you put that banner on the wall. Keep up the good work!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thank you...that banner part is my kind of humor for sure. I know it's the type of thing that 90% of viewers will just go "huh?"...so that one is for me...but really glad that others (like you) also find it funny.

[@tatehogan5685]

I beat my trypophobia by eating honeycombs. Not the bee kind, but the childhood sugary cereal kind. They used to scare me but your epoxy bubble popping made me realize I had to face my fears. Now thanks to you I need to conquer my citrophobia... darned lemons

[@BoraHorzaGobuchul]

Real honeycomb is even tastier to eat than the cereal kind. One has to spit out the wax afterwards, but it's worth the hassle. Also, candles made from this wax smell heavenly

[@jimth9276]

Very well done. This build had me reflecting on some of the team dinners we had while working in China. Extremely large round tables with a lazy susan, capable of seating 8-12 were common in many restaurants. The negative spaces in your table legs seem to carry an oriental influence. Thanks for reviving old memories.

[@ericheft6184]

Looks amazing. Thanks for sharing your process and tips.

[@screamingdonkeywoodwork]

your half measures way for routing out probably saved you some trouble. The handful of times I made a bigger plate it tended to dip in the middle. A little more time, but probably got a flatter bottom.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Good point. Yeah. I think I would need a very rigid and preferably clear plate. a thicker piece of acrylic or something.

[@BoraHorzaGobuchul]

​​and it would have to be chamfered on the edges so it wouldn't snag when sliding across the work piece. When you named the problem, before you showed your solutions, using inserts is what immediately came to my mind, not the bigger plate - apparently it's the path on the decision tree that is preferable to most brains for reasons

[@Timhey0912]

Beautiful! Love your process too!

[@robinmamo]

The templates you made to route out the mounting plate recesses literally blew my mind. I like the way you think sir

[@marialeotta2973]

[@TheSkizzfan]

Greeeeaaat, well, my threaded insert math was spot on for the legs. The C channels caught me off guard though. Cheers.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Me too

[@BoraHorzaGobuchul]

Yeah, even basic arachnophobia - the common kind where it's moderately unpleasant to have to deal with the things and highly preferable not to come in direct contact with them, i.e. not some extreme variety where one is afraid to even look at the thing, is already making my life somewhat more complicated from time to time (all this looking for a plastic cup and a sheet of paper to trap and extradite the creature). Having a problem looking at a bunch of bubbles or circles would be worse I suspect. For instance, do those affected fear sponges? A sponge is something that's very useful in a day-to-day life...

[@Laogeodritt]

I'd gotten into hand/historical fine woodworking like ten years ago, mostly out of fascination of the technique and precision we had managed to develop purely with hand tools. You're the first modern, power-tool fine woodworking channel I follow-I often find myself thinking, "oh, that's going to be challenging", followed by a clip of a router or a clever fence on a table saw. Or, sometimes, metal hardware. Hell, with your inset mounting plate problem, when the CNC didn't work, I _immediately_ thought, "well, time for a good ol' chisel and mallet?" Anyway, I appreciate your thoughtfulness, your willingness to show mistakes and how you work through them, and your dedication to learning and growing from each project and bringing us along for the ride.

Another beautiful piece of art, you are a Master!

[@keithbible1582]

I enjoy your videos; thanks. Last year I had occasion to manufacture several large custom "dice trays" (made from live edge slabs) for enthusiasts of Dungeons and Dragons. This required larger routed depressions than could be accommodated by my router base--much akin to the routing issue that you describe in making your table. My solution was, as you considered, to create a new and larger router base so as to prevent the router from falling into the routed depressions as they were being cut. This required that I make several cut-outs in the larger base so as to help visibility white routing, and it did the trick. My thinking was that I might even have occasion to use the larger base for another project. Thanks again.
