"It´s just a workshop project" Makes the most beatifull and practical workstation ever. Classic GHD

[@DaDavidVids]

I've been lurking for years and don't usually comment, but had to say: WHOA. My fave part is the stunning faces you made completely out of scrap. I love their little finger recesses too. Way to reuse!

[@barrydoxseyuk]

Filling the unused mitre slots. Great idea, I have found the slots can affect the free flow of the work. Thank you for your great ideas. A big shout out to Chistina for helping us work smarter.

[@dannyoktim9628]

Now that's a smart build and the fact you used scraps made it more impressive! Would like to see a shop tour if you fund the time . . .thanks

[@HockityPock]

Beautiful work, the stripes make utility furniture look like designer art. Always a joy to watch.

[@DanielCooper1]

Those drawer fronts are so awesome. I would have called that a "purpose choice" rather than "because I had to use up scraps" ... So. Cool.

[@draztiqmeshaz6226]

Best looking shop on KZbin. I love your work, love your style, love your mind!

[@dpm1057]

Love the cabinet front. Most would think it's a work space, just a plain piece of MDF is fine, but the laminated colored MDF looks great. Nice touch.

[@Erik_The_Viking]

Beautiful job! Nice use of scrap material for the drawer fronts - they provide a very nice and colorful pattern.

[@ananunez8374]

I don’t get tired to say! Your attention to details is mesmerising! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@MCsCreations]

Brilliant work, Cris! It really looks amazing! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@lucaplett6553]

Always an amazing job from one of the best maker on youtube❤👍💪

[@DeathMonky22]

that's such a cool use of scrap material! i love the mods you made to your stuff, very cool how it all looks so organic!

[@robertunderwood6788]

You are totally brilliant at solving problems. Beautiful cabinet!

[@alsanova]

Another great project you've done using more leftover materials. It make the project more unique (and challenging!). 👍👌😀

[@zacharywong483]

Stupendous build! The upgrade looks immensely professional and so organized! Really cool to see another video out again so soon as well!

[@robertthomas6127]

Clean project using rest materials....Completely my taste, only I usually never have enough material and have to buy something in addition. Congradulations. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@pdavio]

Did we just learn our first Portuguese cuss-word? Seriously fantastic work, and this has me wanting to stake out your studio, hunting scraps. Your scraps are better than what I can buy locally. granted, shipping it all back to North Carolina from Portugal may be a bit cost prohibitive.

[@glueupsscrewups]

The striped cabinets are epic!

[@TeteaTochhawng]

The drawer front looks great!

[@raynoladominguez4730]

I love the outcome on this project. So cool and beautiful.

[@n.gravey3735]

WOOHOO!! Lunch can wait GHD vid always comes first!

[@janreckfort1968]

I am a German Masters Carpenter... Let me say something..." You are a smart and skiled pro...i do Love this Projekt....If i could find 10 or 20 worker Like you they would all be employed in a sec ....wow wow wow👍🤴

[@barrydoxseyuk]

Fantastic, love this video, yet again. I have the same table saw, so this seems a great project. I have spent some time looking at yet another router insert and as you say the size is a challenge. So have considered altering my Jessem Fence in the way you have, it seems a shame to discard it. You sure have made great use of what can be a dumping ground. Love the draw fronts. THANK YOU for sharing your inspiration .

[@deadlazlo]

As usual, a work of art that actually works! I wish in the US I had access to colored MDF that you do in Europe. Excellent project.

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

I sooo agree with you! I cant imagine why we dont though. I can see them selling out especially the black.

[@RocketChild]

this is so cleaver, and great how you recycled your existing materials to make your custom cabnets

[@SeareanMoon]

using up scraps is very satisfying for sure! lovely build.

[@curtisg7924]

You have serious talent. Glad I found your channel.

[@composing-chaos]

I really like your new format. The sound is great.

[@c.a.g.1977]

"It's just a shop project...' - Heck, I'd put this in my living room, it's so pretty! Love the false fronts!

[@mirtamichelangeli]

Wow! This doors!! My favorite work ❤ top

[@_senegalensis]

she makes it look so easy, it's quite incredible

[@FranNoesse]

I like the drawer fronts. Clever problem-solving.

[@NWGR]

Beautiful job! I love the doors made of scrap strips and the toekick drawers. 🙂

[@craigmaddison8254]

Brilliant, love the mix of colours.

[@ModernRemade]

I’ve never seen the “tape template” technique like that before, very cool! Your attention to detail is awe inspiring. You really are a master of your craft 🙌🏻

[@steves524]

You have a flair for design , which shows in all your projects🎉🎉

[@JeanBenoitLesage]

Great job and very well presented! I wish that black MDF was easier to find in Canada/US.

[@typalo66]

You have the coolest looking tools

[@JimHester]

Love the drawer and door fronts!

[@dizheller2101]

Super cool router table plus storage and accessories! 👍

[@tomlagatol4448]

I think that taking 2mm off the router plate was a really “gutsy” move! Good for you. I don’t think one in a hundred would have done that….Enjoyed the vid.

[@ramiroaguayo81]

buuuuuuuum, I love all your projects!! Love from Argentina

[@mollykatherine5209]

Such a beautiful project!

[@shawnspringer6522]

Really amazing work! I look forward to seeing more of your work.

[@robira1313]

Very nice job, as usual! I wish they sold colored MDF here in Florida!

[@susanaguadalupe5805]

Bem sabia que era Portuguesa ! Parabéns pelo seu trabalho

[@sergiogonzalesYT]

Love your style and accuracy :)

[@DaveVespa]

When the music started around 14:58 I half expected something to come out from the upside down.

[@jimrosson6702]

Great job looks awesome

[@DirkieB]

Very tidy build. Really need to get my hands dirty and build my router table ...

[@masontejera506]

Great work!

[@clydedecker765]

Still loving your sense of style. Not sure about your loyalty to those T tracks/miter slots. But whatever works for you.

[@francogiusti2036]

👋👋👋👍👍👍vederti lavorare e creare oggetti di rara bellezza e utili con una fluidità è un piacere per gli occhi, brava.

[@madalenaaguas8226]

Que beleza de trabalhos e que organização de oficina. Parabéns.

[@mr_torx]

Great, I love your work!

[@lbertcarpenter5928]

Good idea & job👍👍👍

[@joaodncartaxo]

Amazing work, amazing videos, super interesting from beginning til the end, kudos for your work, espetáculo! Muitos parabéns 👍👍👍

[@KrzysztofJaniczek]

One small note: workshop noises sometimes drown out what you are saying. The movies are great. I like watching them. They let me relax :)

[@tatiannointed]

excellent work hey. I love the quality of your videos. what type of camera gear did you use in this video?it's impeccable

[@samnaderiofficial]

You are such an inspiration. If I was 1/1000th as good as you, I’d be happy to

[@aaudain1]

Great idea 💡 👍

[@gregmize01]

Good grief this cool!😳

[@Zach010ROBLOX]

The yellow mdf reminds me of sheets of sponge cake

[@LuisFCorreia]

Cristiana: 3M set screws or M3 set screws?

[@GetHandsDirty]

Ahaha oops :D

[@Sportsvee]

Outstanding 👍👍

[@NYC_YouTuber_3765]

Great build! What is the brand/model of the concealed hinge jig used at 16:50?

[@susanhollis5015]

So nice! 🙂❤👍👍

[@temoantune1563]

Question? Where do you purchase your cast iron router top?

[@demnsda]

I couldn't find it on your channel, what table saw are you using?

[@LuC-HFS]

Impecável como sempre, ótimo vídeo, parabéns.

[@stringueur]

Hi great video and nice improvements. I'm looking to buy some Rockler equipment (for example the Router Lift), but making an order in Europe is not easy. Do you have any tips or tricks?

[@WilliamTythas]

I'm sure it's for aesthetics that you always have different colored MDF but do you have the option to buy Non-Colored MDF?

[@GetHandsDirty]

Of course. The normal brown version is available in any home centre and wood dealer. This colored ones are superior in strength, density and are water resistant.

[@SuhovSA]

Super !!!...

[@rosendoislas7915]

Great video!!! New subscriber! What table saw do you have???

[@henrywiethe991]

what router table is that

You’re amazing 😻

[@AluizioRosa234]

Ficou incrivel!! 👏👏👏

[@Daniel151279]

Hermoso... 💖

[@calivalley9056]

Anyone in the U.S. using colored MDF, if so, where are you getting it from?

[@joaomiguelsouto7290]

Viroc coloured MDF it's from our country Portugal, but they export to the US, they have some points of sale

[@life_is_fantastic]

nice

[@sportflyer]

Fab!

[@TheTooBallistic]

Muito bem meu!

[@paolos.2084]

SBAAMMM !!

[@harrypottah8889]

Ugh it’s so incredible to see successful lesbians doing the thing! I love GHD, See Jane Drill, and Laura Kampf 🌈 what others should I check out?
