Mistakes happen…they’ll never know

[@linklp5090]

For me you are the best furniture designer on KZbin .This piece is so progressive that there is no expression for it.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate the kind words! Thank you!

[@vikassm]

Likewise! No more dominoes for me :D

[@AndrewMcQuillen]

Agreed, its a beautiful piece and the mistakes...what mistakes, it looks amazing at the end.

[@SawyerDesign]

Love the cut-back and wrap-around drawer face dude! Really adds a lot of dimensionality. Beautiful piece ✌️

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks, man! That is definitely what I was going for, glad you dig it.

[@MrBlakePratt]

@sawyerDesign love your channel too bro!

[@VanGoodman]

Insane. I'm really pumped to see your channel revived and hope that others are entertained and find the value and inspiration in your vids that I have. This channel deserves a million+ subs as much as any creative channel on youtube. Cheers!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate you saying that! Thanks for the kind words, it is encouraging!

[@mascatrails661]

I love this new direction you and Chris are taking! Diversifying the content onto multiple channels seems to allow each of your personal touches on videos to shine brightly.

[@heresmyurl]

I'm so glad you're back to making videos on your own channel; dialogue I can actually enjoy.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate it, thanks for watching!

[@sethpittman2362]

What a fantastic piece to return to. I really am excited for your channel, and loved hearing your humor and story throughout the video. Super engaging and entertaining. Also, that piece is 😍

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really glad to hear that! Thanks for following along!

[@davidjowett8195]

Stunning piece, The brass accents and the pop of red, which you couldn't have done without the mistake, make a huge difference to the piece. The red certainly makes it pop. Thank you for sharing.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Happy to hear that! Thanks for watching!

[@HelloAnthony]

I like to microwave my dominos prior to doing a dry fit. Seems to help. I also sand down the ridge on the sides and keep a small stash just for dry fitting. Cheers!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Both good ideas! Might have to keep a stash of sanded dominos for this.

[@JackMoskowitz]

I do the same, but I also mark up the trimmed dominos with a black magic marker so I don't confuse them with the full size ones.

[@meperson]

Was going to say the same - microwave/heating them shrinks them just enough to help with dry fitting and even glue ups.

[@chrisbmurphy]

The piece, incredible. You squeezed more than 10% with those final details. The video, shooting, writing… you hit a difficult mark of being light, yet inspiring. Soldiering on through mistakes that would leave me in a series of spin cycles. And frankly, the fact you are not doing slab projects and demonstrating new skills and designs - this is the direction making needs to go.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really happy to hear that! Appreciate it all, and thanks for watching.

[@magicalbarrage]

As a mediocre woodworker, I've actually started embracing my mistakes and loving the fact that most touch ups are still visible and tell a story. Recently caught myself showing all my mistakes to friends on the last chair I built, and their reaction was possibly even better than seeing the finished piece itself!

[@noahbwoodworks]

man i think mistakes are underrated in general. not only do they push your comfort zone to find creative alternatives, but they challenge the design in ways you would never do naturally. Innovations often happen this way if you're optimistic. dwelling on mistakes is the only mistake lol so good stuff my dude, congrats on perseverance

[@SuperCruelworld]

Years ago I used to work with this craftsman /sawyer who really knew his stuff. But boy could he make mistakes. What he was really great at was fixing them. As a result, I have always believed it isn't that mistake that ruins the piece. It is the repair that makes the craftsman.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Couldn’t agree more!

[@woogaloo]

That piece is a thing of beauty! So glad you're back to making videos on your channel.

[@thomlipiczky9021]

Learning to fix your mistakes is the sign of a good woodworker. Learning not to point them out to potential clients is the sign of a good salesman. Very nice design, execution. The brass inlay an other little extras at the end really made this.

[@henrysilver2134]

That end grain edge banding is dope! So pumped your channel is back.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Appreciate it!

[@markcogan9002]

I've watched hundred of hours of wood milling and drawer making and I never get tired of it. I don't know why.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Hey, whatever floats your boat. I get it.

[@meperson]

That is amazing piece that shows how much you have learned - another level woodworking. Glad your channel is back!

[@kevinbowman8259]

A true woodworker always stands or lays on his furniture at the end of a build. Love that you kept this OG reference to your earlier work. Can't wait for your next vids. Cheerios.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Truth! Thanks Kevin!

[@johnmorphew4859]

This video must have been a TON of work to make--all the different shots, angles, lighting, voice-over, music, etc. Your commitment to awesome content and awesome furniture is very respectable.

[@csipe5]

Glad I'm not the only bad salesman that has a passion for woodworking. Still rocking that full plum. Love it.

[@dougggiereid]

That's a super awesome build. You're a true craftsman. Oh and mistakes, they're just there to keep you humble and to prove you're human just like the rest of us. Oh and to challenge you to excel in finding workable solutions. I so enjoyed this video. You really inspire me to improve myself.

[@ZeroneAngel]

In a world where the inflation of epoxi resin shenanigans is the new normal, it is so incredible refreshing to see something like this. Not gonna lie, this is, by far, the most beautiful woodworking project I've seen in a looooong time. I absolutely LOVE it!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate all of that. Thank you for watching!

[@ericpatterson8794]

Idea for a domino puller: get someone to weld a slide hammer (or just a nut that you can thread a slide hammer) onto a pair of vice grips.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

I think you might be onto something, I like it.

[@MaxShaffer]

@@shaunboydmadethis Honestly, just the vice grips work pretty darn well...

[@mjc0704]

@@shaunboydmadethis I was going to comment this. Amazon sells a "Vice Grip Slide Hammer". They work great!

[@rulowth4815]

when i started seeing videos of woodwork, i repeated myself "that's incredible, but probably never goin to do something like that" and the more time i spend watching your videos i started to think someday i could, thanks so much for the honesty and the transparency, i greatly apreciated.

You're whistling the Rob and Big theme!!!! "People let me tell you bout my best friend. He’s a warm hearted person who’ll love me till the end..." RIP Big Black

[@LeeHalford]

Shaun, I recommend talking to @BlacktailStudio. As he was previously a aircraft pilot, that only just started in woodworking on KZbin, and in a very short space of time already has a wait list of clients. He might give you some tips? Would be cool to see you two do a Collab or something in future?

[@agn855]

Very nice (video too). The only thing I'd thought about to change was making a gap along the brass in the sliding door that would match with the gap between the top/bottom drawer. JMHO :o)

[@MtlCstr]

Shaun, Try sanding down some dominos so they aren't as tight a fit and use those for dry fitting, then replace them for the glue-up.

[@jcrbuilds]

Shaun- I’m sure your aware, but there’s scammers appearing in your posts. I have of course reported them.

[@jonathanlambeth3464]

The mark of a master isn't that he doesn't make mistakes, it's how he deals with them. Awesome piece of furniture and an awesome video.

[@vanmitchellsr.5735]

You are so right! Don’t use the word mistake but opportunity to reach a higher level of professionalism!

[@JoshuaDStewart]

Shaun, great work! I'll say the same thing I said on Chris' video: I am amazed at how you turn "mistakes" into opportunities to tweak the design and make it look like that was the intent all along.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate that! Thank you!

[@danbarrett6113]

Hey Shaun, I'm glad you are back to your own videos again.

[@DavidWoodwright]

So nice to see some classic Shaun Boyd design!! Looking forward to future projects!

Yes mate! Good to see you're back, youve been missed!

[@slicktuckers5217]

Tips for removing tricky this like domino’s, Pair of mole grips with a foot length of stud in the back ( were adjuster bolt is then a piece of metal stock with a hole in for the stud to go in then just a nut on the end. You can the grip the mole grips to what you are trying to pull out and quickly slide the metal stock up the stud hitting the nut. Result is a handy slide hammer that can grip multiple things really well. Saved me many times in the injection mould industry with plastic mouldings stuck in hit tools!

[@larpbusters]

Your dry humor is excellent. Glad to see your four eyes on your own channel again.

[@edolat]

thanks shaun, 100% satisfied after the milling section

[@638fitter7]

I got a little tip for to help with the domino pulling issue, rather then using the pliers you were using try a pair of vise grips. Lock down on the domino and you won’t have to concentrate any energy into gripping and you can just wiggle and pull. Best method I’ve found so far. Give it a go.

[@danmcdan8278]

Shaun, very nice to have your channel back - always was one of my favorites. Here's my secret for pulling Domino's. Use a claw hammer and channel locks. Place the forks off the hammer on either side of the domino, grab the domino with the channel locks, and lever the hammer up. Easy as pie. Regular pliers would work, but the offset of the channel locks makes it easier.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Love it! Great idea.

[@joelreis5366]

I saw you on Four Eyes Furniture for a few videos, then noticed you kinda disappeared. Glad the algorithm gods decide to grace me with this video. Automatic subscribe. Keep up the great work. Another channel to browse on my Sunday afternoons.

[@elegantmedia4652]

You are such a vibe...totally and completely fun to listen to that's what I loved most about the video.

[@henriramert3030]

Great piece, love that you‘re starting your Channel again. I learn woodworking in Germany, and in school you learn that there is no right or wrong way for the order of operation when edgebanding. The two ways are just called diffrent and look diffrent, in the end it‘s just personal preference. Keep up with the great Videos.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Totally agree! Thanks for watching!

[@kristianaltmann7721]

Boy do I like that table. Mistakes made or not, it still looks great and that’s what it’s all about in the end.

Man what u said at the end about mistakes at the end hits really deep, wise words ❤

[@designxyz5007]

Shaun, I keep a set of each size domino aside for dry assembly. I just rub down the ridges on the sides which makes it a lot easier to pull out.

[@ronniegigante2547]

This was an awesome cabinet with a beautiful design. Remember you learn the most when you make mistakes, however a good woodworker knows how to not only build a project but repair his mistakes so no one sees them. You did just that. Great job.

[@MidnightMaker]

Hey Shaun, SO glad you are back making videos on your channel. As a woodworker who makes mistakes and follows the adage, it's how you fix the mistakes that makes the woodworker, have you thought about making your own dominos out of the wood that you're building with? Some walnut dominos might have spared you some serious agony. Also, I didn't see you lay down on top of it when you were done...

[@rogerwoods1351]

wow that looks like a complex build, fantastic end product and we get to see Chris too fine work Shaun

[@nevadacool]

Ever heard of using too many ingredients, I think this is what makes or breaks a piece, and I have learned that the more you learn along your journey, the greater your expectations. Truth is, onlookers, rarely understand the complications that were overcame in the creation of their work,- the wright brothers come to mind. Keep moving, build, and reflect.

Domino tip: Sand the little spline edges and corners down on a couple dozen dominoes, mark them with a Sharpie and use them just for test fitting.

Cool piece and great video. Thanks for showing the mistakes and how you fixed them, very valuable to me as someone who spends half the time on the project trying to "hide my crimes".

Thanks for watching! Showing all of the mistakes is tough, but I'm glad you enjoyed seeing them!

[@AquaPeet]

23:59 I think you should photograph EVERY piece of furnature with Ghost Shaun in or on it! That effect looks so awesome. You can see how it looks with a person there, without interfering with the main focus of the photo: showing off the furnature.

[@metamatticus]

I had several laugh out loud moments in this. eg "wear full plum" which may be my next idea for a tshirt. I liked the final design Shaun, the brass and colour accents made it a really unique piece. I appreciated you showing all the mistakes, helps the rest of us learn with you. Thanks for sharing!

[@FrancoisTerblanche]

Wow! What a beautiful piece! Mistakes and all. 👏🏼🙏🏼👍🏼

[@pnuema1.618]

A vacuum pump in woodworking works like the implosion of a submarine, but in a controlled way. When the pump removes air from a vacuum bag, it reduces the internal pressure. This is similar to a submarine at depth where the pressure inside is lower than the crushing pressure outside. Instead of the ocean’s pressure, it's the weight of every air molecule from the Earth's surface up to the edge of space pushing down on the bag. The vacuum pump doesn’t create pressure; it removes air so that the atmospheric pressure-the combined weight of all these air molecules-clamps the wood together.

[@erwinvb70]

That turned out very nice, absolutely beautiful

Awesome! I needed a new furniture nap video

[@tjbrison]

Sophisticated design often looks easy - when viewing the finished piece - even more so when you explain the process so well. But I am not decieved. There is a huge display of skill in evidence in this piece - before it has even left the page! I know how easy it is to be hard on my own work, as I will always know where the mistakes were made. Chasing absolute perfection is a very deep rabit hole. But really, work this good is simply fantastic - I would be over the moon to own any of your work and I am sure the new owner will be too. Simply brilliant.

The wrap around drawer fronts are a great detail!

[@DKBarie]

Shawn: Wabi-sabi is a concept that motions us to constantly search for the beauty in imperfection and accept the more natural cycle of life. It reminds us that all things including us and life itself, are impermanent, incomplete, and imperfect. Perfection, then, is impossible and impermanence is the only way.

[@arayawoodworks]

Best milling sequence evah!!!!

That pop of red you see on opening the drawers is rad, and the whole piece is cool as hell. Well done for soldiering on!!

My goodness I really like this Shaun, I remember when you and Chris decided to merge, I thought oh no he’s abandoning his KZbin. But I was also subscribed to Chris Salmone, so it all worked out. Just like this piece of furniture. I wish I could afford to buy it. It’s beautiful.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Forget about the minor mistakes you made. You do amazing work. Most of only wish we could half as good as you. Great job

[@jarredkaiser4114]

Hi. Interesting piece. Hopefully some helpful info. The peel and stick veneer really needs a sealed surface to get a good bond. Applying to raw wood is asking for a bond failure. Also, peel and stick veneer was developed for cabinet refacing, and has no business being used in fine furniture. It will not withstand the test of time. You want to move to one of the many glues that can be used in your vacuum bag, and do all veneering of curved parts in there. This is a long piece, and not easy to make in one continuous piece, but you could break it up into two more manageable pieces, one straight, and one straight with the full curve (plus a little extra for trimming.) That would mean a bigger bending form, but would allow all sections to be done in the bag with proper adhesive and clamping pressure. Keep pushing yourself and having fun. Jarred Kaiser

[@bjorncj]

i love your level of detailing. But what I admire you most for. Is your heart to share us the methods and tricks you adopt to build such beautiful pieces. Its very rare. This certainly makes your work and you, very unique. Thanks a lot. For composing this video.

[@dragade101]

Brilliant. I think of mistakes as personal inside jokes or secrets. That you worked through something and what someone doesnt notice is recognition that your work reads correctly.

[@williamellis8993]

Really nice, Shaun. You're right - the mistakes are something that on one will notice. Two things I'm happy to see. One is the return of scrapsketball and the other is you planking on the piece to show it's strength. See you next (outstanding) video. Bill

Try seemless edge banding. Route a V-grove perfectly centered in the edge of the plywood. Route the complementary V in the hardwood. I found router bits in complementary sets like this. I achieved perfect seemless edges on Cherry ply.

[@chm1701]

I have respect for people who do the same thing, day in, day out, but you’ve got to love being able to make those mistakes, because, my friend, it’s about pushing the boundaries and improving, which at the end of the day, is something you’re obviously not scared of. Yes, it’s a pain in the ass when something goes wrong, but at least you learn a lesson and improve each time and, hopefully, it’s less likely to happen again. Anyway, it’s turned out super nice and you had the chance to do something new. Keep up the great work.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

There are so many awesome design elements in this piece; things I hadn't even considered before, like drawers having an exposed show side, instead of just the drawer front. This will definitely inspire my work in the future.
