Live Edge Drawer Credenza

[@TylerLeeWarren]

Upon unboxing, I was immediately upset at how the rails were very noticeably bent. But I kept going, all tools needed to assemble were included kzbin.infoUgkxqtX4Dxs6aecAZEuz6GY5-d81YecKCshn and I had it set up in about 30 minutes. Honestly I love this thing, make sure to read the measurements and measure your space so you know if it'll work for you. I bought this to put inside my closet, underneath where I hang my clothes and it is absolutely perfect! It is VERY sturdy and all drawers glide easily and mine are stuffed, and they are still flush when closed.

[@coveproductionscom]

Your videos are super zen. It's like watching a modern version of Bob Ross.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Dane...appreciate that. I love me some Bob Ross :)

[@adamwolven3230]

I was totally thinking the same thing. Totally zen.

[@MikeTheMaker1]

The Bob Ross of furniture.

[@thaduke4663]

Right? Even if I wasn't into woodworking I'd watch his videos. They're beautiful.

[@reforzar]

Dane Hixson lets cut down this happy tree. 😂

[@tsquaredwoodworks3037]

Great piece! Also, love the longer format! Gives us such a clear image of all of the steps!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks...it was a log more work, but I had fun

[@jacoblewis8198]

Only a true woodworker can make a wood joke by accident haha. It was a “log” more work.

[@ThePaul675]

awesome piece! and, hearing anyone admitting that metric is much better than imperial just makes it even better! :)

[@williammaxwell1919]

Chris, your work definitely has an inate Vitruvian quality (eurythmy, proportion, commodity, delight, etc) to it that few others working in this space (if any) emulate, let alone strive to achieve. As an Architect, your work resonates and shows that the combination of design and crafting of elegant furniture is not dead and forgotten 8n this age of Ikea knock-offs. Thank you and Kudos to you. Wm

[@MRTOMBO]

Your videos are exceptionally well done. The storyboarding, rhythm and flow, presentation and dialog really encourages watching the videos, learning, and getting ideas. Nice job.

[@WanderingHorsewoman]

This was honestly a piece of artwork. So beautiful.

[@leandrobernardo8335]

I have done some woodworks in the past but this woodwork plan kzbin.infoUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG helps me do much in a far lesser time than i used to do i have already built several projects with this plan and i intend to do many more soon. Thank you so much!

[@h4z4rd42]

Chris, your videos rise the the standard of quality to hard to reach height for even the experienced youtubers. I'm amazed. Again. Thank you.

[@MiroAcronymity]

It's rare that a 30 minutes video makes me feel like I only spent 8-10 minutes watching it. Love the pacing, music, and your little jokes. This long format is working great for your style! I'd really appreciate more videos like it. The piece itself is stunning and a worthy successor to your Bad Larry. Spaghetti is fine.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Hey man thanks! I actually felt like the 30 mins flew by when I watched it, but I didn't want to say anything b/c I thought it made me sound delusional. A few other people have mentioned that now, and it makes me feel a little bit better about myself :)

[@MiroAcronymity]

@@Foureyes.Furniture it is definitely a rare feat and one that I have yet to accomplish :) I really would like to see more long format videos from you!

[@waldvogelreview7755]

I love the long format. I felt like I learned something, understood the long detailed thought process of woodworking, and love the artful nature of your videos It’s a great balance of visual content and learning

[@MoscaWoodworking]

this piece is stunning. I think the combo black + wood colour is so elegant. Nice job Chris

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks! It is a subtle combo...but I really like it :)

[@brucem1553]

Agree with Dane Hixson and Mathew Gehrig Your videos are such a joy to watch with a zen feel that no one compares to that i have seen or listen to. Thank you as always

metric system superiority confirmed 🙏

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

haha....we've given in

NO! MURKA!!!!

Well, actually... kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZ62e4t5a8Skh5o

[@ivolopes100]

Chris Salomone, i worked about 3 years in this area and i think you are amazing. I really like your tools. Keep Going!

[@marcbrinkmann8123]

ohhh i love the comment about Bob Ross. It's so true! I loved watching him painting, after coming home from a Party, to calm down and relax. Your videos are much better to me though, because woodworking is my passion (not painting!), and i always tried to find someone to look up to. Hopefully one day, i'll be nearly as good as you are! Big Thanks from Berlin

[@DimONMINIpeople]

Metric rules. Maybe you should give it a go once)))))) Excellent video, Chris!

[@BenMcinnes2]

love the edit style. Your videos are my form of mindfulness

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Ben :)

[@stoppaintingmymonkey]

I havent even watched yet and im already impressed

[@backyard.craftsman]

Impressive video. Never feel so relax watching a wood working video especially during the lockdown.

[@carmicha]

I enjoyed seeing your entire shop instead of the smaller area that usually comprises the view you give us. I understand that your framing creates a space that approximates the workshops used by (or aspired to) by your audience. Still, I have so many questions! What was happening with that forklift? What's in the blue bins and sitting on the racks? Are you actually not as tidy as your clamp racks and closed cabinets would imply? Or do you share the space? Suggestion: a workshop tour video... inquiring minds want to know.

[@FennahMakes]

Hey Chris wanted to let you know you and your videos are a huge inspiration to me to start my own little dutch KZbin channel. Thanks for that and keep up the good work!!

[@Reina12375]

I really enjoyed the videos. I watch them in my garage while working on destroying a few pieces of wood. I’m just a frustrated wannabe woodworker but I do enjoy your way of doing magnificent work.

[@EthanCarterDesigns]

Things I liked about this video - the longer format, the use of India ink, the design and execution, pretty much everything I guess....maybe not the creepy wink...no never mind that was pretty great too. Fantastic build and video as always, Chris!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

you can't tell right now...but I'm winking at you :)

[@robertlong2661]

Dude, you are such an inspiration. I love every one of your videos but I have to say, this is the best one yet. The design, the details, the little home run dance, it’s all pure gold.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Robert. I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[@BruceAUlrich]

I think this is the longest video I’ve ever seen of yours...& and it was pure enjoyment. I can’t believe I sat through a 30 min video! The pacing and music and leading shots and establishing shots....man, just so good! Oh, and the spaghetti looked good too. ;)

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Bruce! It definitely was, since this is the longest one I've made. I'm wondering if it might be too long.

[@sandrajacobson917]

Excellent video and project. The longer format was a nice change of pace with lots of little nuggets of learning. Your finished piece is stunning.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Sandra...glad you enjoyed it :)

[@shimueljones5777]

by far, my favorite of all your builds

[@benlucas1039]

Chris, I think you have one of the best woodworking channels on KZbin. Your not only a esteemed woodworker but your editing is flawless and the messages in the videos are amazing. Keep up all the amazing work, Ben L. P.S. - Sweet kicks

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Ben...appreciate it. Glad you're enjoying everything - including the kicks :)

[@ChaneyCredeur]

Love this format! I think it showcases your strength of explaining things and still has your esthetics.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Chaney :)

[@Fottoamatore]

Thanks for being so clear when explaning and for your pronounciation also, sometimes is'nt easy for those who ar not native speakers to understand american english. My and my wife are finding some very good inspirations for future projects. We work in a single bay garage with a few tools but we are really getting into "woodworking" (we mainly work with sheet goods because we don't have a jointer planer yet) seriously. Thanks for sharing and teaching.

[@sk8eerbooy44]

Chris, I’m loving this format. Just like podcasts, long format content is the way of the future.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Kyle...we shall see if the masses agree :)

[@juneritchie2498]

This spaghetti is delightful! Seriously, I would love to try something like this for my home. Maybe that day will come. Thanks for sharing your talents.

[@chrisyeo2777]

really good media, calming, interesting, instructive... everything about Foureyes works well! good work guys

[@MaximC]

Hey Chris. Kind of really depressed today, and your videos are helping I think, to forget myself, but also makes me hopeful that one day I'll be making a living with working...

[@ahikernamedgq]

I was originally thinking about leaving a snarky comment, like, "Live edge walnut: surprisingly affordable!" However, I think the "fake live edge" turned out GREAT. It definitely looks real enough. I also want to compliment two other things: that India Ink finish is so refined looking. It's wonderful. And, I'm not sure about the other folks, but I love the longer format. Great, great build as always Chris. You're a real tastemaker, esp of spaghetti. Thank you for sharing the video.

[@Эва-ч1о]

Ваши работы всегда изящны и непросты. Успехов. С Новым Годом!

[@mmmmmmm8706]

Awesome build. Don't mean to sound like a toe head, and I definitely am on the beginner side of the fence, but one thing i ended up getting for routing rabets into the ends of work pieces was that infinity cutting tools mega rabbet router bit and collection of 'spacers'. It actually made the dados cutting fun and precise. Took the stress off for sure, for my skill level. One of those right tools for the job makes it easier feeling. Really liked it, but I dropped the bit and chipped it. Really look forward to your builds. Thank you.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Ouch...that hurts. Well, I guess there are worse things that could happen when it comes to mistakes and routers

[@marwanmansy9987]

Your videos are really awesome.. I learned a lot.. Had fun too @12:43 .. Metric system ❤️❤️.. Waaaaaaay easier

[@iliba]

You're simply the best at what you do! Another fantastic video.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Bob...appreciate it :)

[@ShaunGuthrie-CaskWoodworking]

Really enjoyed the long format. I actually put down my phone and watched the whole thing! Watching this has helped me understand how I want to build a floating console for under our table. I'll have to check out that Indian ink, looks awesome!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks man...the india ink is pretty sweet. I'll be using it more often

[@crabtonia]

A seriously retro piece, and a great success...thank you...your aside re metric amused me...we in the UK adopted the dreaded system around 50yrs ago and I still think in Feet & Inches...dgp/uk

[@diegogdias]

Chris, your videos are awesome. I've been following you since you had 20K subscribers. I love your sense of humor and the way you narrate your videos. I'm from Brazil and I'd like congratulate you for the great work you do.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Hi Diego...Thanks! I'm glad you've been with me since the beginning :)

[@meoutwest]

I like the length of the video. Never looked at my watch, but realized afterward how long it was. Great flow.

[@SmallFryCreations]

Great edit Chris!!! Fantastic video and great camera angles!!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks!

[@kevinf3641]

Great job! Love the cut of the walnut drawers - it gives it a more natural look; like a broken or separated piece.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks man :)

[@DrkKnyght1981]

You're videos are fantastic and your craftsmanship is excellent. I just had a thought from watching your video though. If you score your line before routing, you drastically cut down your chances of tear out on plywood. Just a thought from experience.

[@peterboardman6407]

Is the a benefit that made you choose screws and plugs in one area then dowels in another? I only use screws like that if I need them to clamp a joint I can’t get clamps to. Is there another benefit I’m missing or simply what you just grabbed first to reinforce?

[@fabiorocha3794]

Olá! Ótimo vídeo , parabéns . Poderia me dizer que máquina é está que você têm? É uma esquadrejadeira ?

[@cdouglas6]

I enjoyed the longer format. Good to mix these in every once in a while.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Chris :)

[@amanhunjan3626]

Chris your videos are a surreal inspiration.. u make me want to make things and i am doing somethings all because of you.. thank you!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks man...appreciate the kind words. Best of luck to you :)

[@Duci1989]

Nice video! About the "reinforcements" with screws: I saw some videos testing screws vs glue. The glue was way stronger than the screws, so probably no need at all to screw after glueing.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks! That is true that glue can be stronger that screws but it depends on the orientation of the pieces. This joint would be end grain to face grain, which is not the strongest. Basically the more end grain get involved the less you can rely on glue.

[@AussieWanderer.]

*Rest of the world: yes, we are now happy*

[@alexduran5605]

The production quality of your videos is top notch. You should be proud!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Alex...really appreciate it :)

[@squeezy7252]

Love these videos! I agree with the other comment saying that this is like watching a modern version of Bob Ross, amazing content and amazing quality.

[@thedistractedmaker]

Really crisp project Chris- love the base you went with.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks man :)

[@garrywall8438]

Fantastic work you are a very dedicated woodworker I noticed you were docking some long and narrow pieces up against the fence There is a chance The piece may twist a bit and throw back at you I would Use the table sled or the sliding table fitted to your saw this worried me but like your work thanks

[@Ricopolico]

Red oak is the King of Woods, or so I was told some 40 years ago. Dyed black, I've done it myself so I have to agree with your aesthetic. But, finally, something done with live edge which is sensitive and in good taste - going beyond Nakamichi, not just an insipid, heavy-handed imitation. Thanks Chris, you give me hope. (Metric better? Although it never intimidated me, long ago, I heard it said that the English system was scaled to the human body. Seems about right.)

[@by_ednafelicita]

So relaxing to watch.💕 Also reminds me that I can do anything I put my mind to with a little love and passion. Beautiful work too!

[@modestmaking5314]

I'm happy to see you back Chris. Yes you have always been here but I've missed you.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

haha...I was gonna say. I've never been more back :)

Absolutely amazing job!! Been watching your videos for sometime now.. like the evolution; not just the wood work, the video editing too. I wish I can find some time to do this too! Keep up the good work! Cheers!

[@RobCartwright]

Any tips on getting pocket holes to work with 1/2" wood. I set my jig and drill bit collar to the appropriate marks, and use the suggested screws, but it never works for me. Great content as always!

[@davidwiggins26]

Love the longer format, Chris!!! Also, respect on the J's. As someone who has worn a 15 since I was 13, I love how Nike has always carried sizes for the big boys! LOL

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Dang...that's a big foot. I'm right in the sweet spot at 11.5 / 12 :)

[@davidwiggins26]

Chris Salomone I would’ve bet money you were a 13-14 based on what I was guessing your height was! 🤣🤣🤣. Oh well, still mad respect on the shoe game and furniture building!! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@gregoryraiewski]

This is an instance classic, Chris. What a beauty! I like the long format, too.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks man. Definitely a slight departure in style...but I'm happy with it for the most part :)

[@erniereyes2831]

awesome presentation and instructions, thanks

[@agatal1487]

any piece I jump into, those are stunning. love your works

[@reimerhuigen3825]

I'm always very impressed with how you film your builds but the winking-shot was on a whole new level

[@pdjkmiller5684]

I'm wondering how the Maker brand Simple Finish has worked out on the India Ink after 3 years. I have come by some oak from old college dorm beds and although not a big fan of oak, the black finish is spectacular and maybe could be combined with some maple? Otherwise, do you have another suggestions for a finish if the Simple Finish has not held up? Thanks for your inspiration and sharing your techniques. So nice to see superb craftsmanship AND design.

[@masontejera506]

Your videos always bring peace and joy to my day. Love the long form. Thanks again for doing what you do!

[@jeremygagnon7928]

[@mrwoodwork5097]

Thanks Keith :)

[@bsjsjsbbsbbssjjshs4344]

Very zen and great design. I love it

[@alecbaldesarra9569]

Hi Chris, love your content. You are a main reason I finally took the jump and started some real furniture making. I am currently planing a build for a dresser. I saw in this video that when you were doing the glue up for the cabinet box you had the base sitting atop a few pucks, raising off the work surface to fit the clamps. What are those/ do you have a better suggestion on how to glue up a large cabinet and keep the corners at a perfect 90? Thank you!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Those are called bench cookies. You could also just use some scrap wood... but they are generally handy to have a few around.

[@andrewwoloshyn5193]

Awesome project, and I agree with a lot of the other sentiments, the longer video was fantastic!!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Andrew :)

[@CReevesMakes]

LOL, that shot at 11:54 had me saying "what the...is he using a closet hanger pole?" Nice work Chris. I love love LOVE the black oak! Well done.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks man...I should just start calling this black oak and pretending it's a species :)

[@joshw6315]

Seriously loved that little handshake scene. Your edits keep getting better and better👍🏻 (maybe I will try out skillshare). Keep making these incredible pieces of furniture. You truely are one of the best on this website. Also keep inspiring people like me to get out and make something - I am only 15 and you are one of the main contributing factors for me to start woodworking Josh

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Josh...that is really cool - and I will definitely keep at it.

[@helderlage]

Thanks!

[@joseluisdiaz3066]

Es algo de no creer,eres muy bueno brother

[@NirvanaWoodWorksbyJanie]

Beautiful "as always". That T-square is gorgeous (10:09), but for $130+ (USD), I'll stick to my 12" Incra T-rule and the 18" marking rule. Not to mention the Incra bend rule comes in so handy! They're doing great so far. We really don't have a "need" for it as we're just a couple of diy'ers and hobby-est. I'm sure if our woodworking picks up, we'll definitely invest. Love your stuff, its more than just furniture, it's art in every sense. Thank you for the awesome detailed video!

[@yram11]

Pretty cool listening to your thought processes here as a designer and maker. Thank you for sharing, Chris!

[@nostrabox]

What do you call the thing that looked to be on your miter gauge that held the board you're feeding through against your fence? I've never seen anyone use it before but it seems pretty genius.

[@sprobertson]

Maybe not exactly your style, but I think I've found mine. I now have a favorite piece of furniture.

[@timematters3287]

Dude you're rock! I want to a shop like that, lots of tools, and plenty of space. I love black; to me that piece came out perfectly.

[@peszekv]

Hey Chris any chance you still have plans for this beauty? Thinking of making it as a tv stand

[@manick_t1801]

Is there any particular reason you use a chisel vs say, a bench scraper, to get the glue off?

[@reforzar]

I really liked the edit. Don’t know how much more time it took but maybe a long format like this would be cool once a month or so.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

It takes a lot of time. I think this might have been excessive, I may try to find a middle ground. Maybe around the 18-22 minute mark...unless it's a crazy indepth build.

[@michelebenini8125]

Very nice job Chris!!👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@kewl201]

man, this piece came out amazing. it's great to see you venture out and try red oak for the grain pattern and let the pattern speak with the india ink. great design choice overall!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks! I think the strong pattern works b/c the black really subdues it. So it isn't overpowering, but then when you really look at it, it shines through :)
