You guys should do a whole video on table legs like this. 3 legs, 4 legs, 5 legs. I especially like the angles you got off that tapered bit there at the end.

[@manavaggarwal6344]

Chris please start a beginner series_ how to work with angles, tips and techniques, and many more that can help.

[@michaelgartner6663]

I am so glad I found your channel. I have learned more from your videos than with years of trial and error. Thanks for teaching an old dog a lot of new tricks.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Michael...and we're glad you found us too :)

[@DHClapp]

I find it fascinating that you guys mentioned hand planes for profile #1, but not for #2. A deep and steep undercut bevel is basically the perfect example of something that is relatively fast and easy with a simple hand plane (even if you're not great at hand planes yet), but complicated, slow, and/or dangerous with power tools. I would go so far as to say that it's probably worth getting your first hand plane just to try this profile out on the next table top you make.

[@DHClapp]

Hey, thanks for the highlight!

[@alans1816]

I would add that the tapered chamfer is even more appropriate for a hand plane.

[@pk.finger]

All of the three are easily done with a hand plane. That’s what I was thinking from the beginning on. But always remember: if you are making it more then once the machinery can be the faster and easier way.

[@mockatu]

All I could think of for the steep bevel was just grab a hand plane mark the damn thing out and get to it. In the tapered chamfer screams to be done by hand.

[@raphaeldubois9107]

3:14 This is the reason why I listen to this channel

[@kwink2121]

It's the Saddle-T Square from Woodpecker. Currently Out of Stock. I love mine! Hopefully they will be back in stock soon.

[@konstantinborus5458]

6:08 To avoid most of the burnings by cutting bevel vertically I usually undercut on first pass like 1/32" or sometimes 1/16" and then move the fence for final clean cut. It comes out with less burn and cut marks which makes sanding much easier.

[@paulgray3231]

Who doesn't like "pulling it off"? And you're right, it is always a nice feeling.

[@shaunb66]

Exactly!

[@donnygrahambuilds]

Haha - this video had plenty of laughs and solid info. Overall, A+ material lol

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Donny...glad you enjoyed :)

[@easy236]

Yes, 4eyes videos are always fantastic. I'm happy you guys have been able to start making them more often. And I guess Congratulations are in order! :)

[@bwhite220]

Man, you two are killing me! I’d watch the two of you do videos about literally anything! Thanks for the dedication to your many different crafts!

[@slayorphine.]

Love the details. Hand plane is the easiest, fastest and safer option for the second and third details. Of course if you are experienced and comfortable using it.

[@locomokko]

This was great. One of the best "Tips" videos I've seen. I'm still "amature" with my router, and it scares the bejezus out of me. I'll have to do some tests with this. It looks cool. Cheers! Scott from Japan.

[@laviathan4]

Love the router jig have been racking my brains for the past few day on how to do the bevel. I am building a 4'/10' table for a client, was going to use the track saw with a jig for the bevel. But the want radiused corners and couldn't figure out how to do the bevel on the other than hand planing and sanding. Still might do that but will def goth this jig some thought! Thanks. Love the channel

Best channel on KZbin. Thanks for all the hard work guys.

[@ericarnsdorff3441]

Great tips!!! I dislike my lack of artistic and creative ability as I always make rectangles. Sometimes they even come out really nice but essentially everything is a pile of rectangles. Occasionally, I have a need for a circle but it's never a creative aspect. These tips really help add some nice touches!

As a hobbiest woodworker looking to get a little more serious, I really appriciate these great tips; thanks for sharing!

[@robertgarrett3002]

Greetings. I think all your ideas for treating edges are awesome. I discovered a "higher level" by using contrasting paint for the edging, with a stained tabletop. For example, I can paint with primer then topcoat quarter round molding. After drying it can be attached to a table edge. This rounded surface allows comfortable leaning on the table. Peoples elbows won't rub on an edge when sitting. No router is necessary, but 45 degree meters on the corners or sanding to reduce points on the corners is recommended. A matching 1/4" matching stripe inset 1 inch from the molding all the way around, adds a little flair on the top. Seal with favorite finish. My script lady tells me to stop typing...RG

[@williamellis8993]

Great info and great humor, guys. Thanks. Bill

Nice video. For us that took the hobby to the next level (ahem), there is not much content left to watch anymore, as far tips and advice goes.we seen the drawbores, the tenoning jigs, the sliding dovetails and the saw sleds. We want MOAR. this video was a step in a good direction.

[@davidjanis1997]

That good, however funny, I had to look at the background to confirm my suspension about you guys joking around. And thanks for showing what might be a safer way to make the profile for some of us less accomplished woodworkers .

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks David....just to confirm all future suspicions. We're almost always goofing around :)

[@greghart6310]

Cheers! One always learns something. From now on I'm using a sled to cut the long tapers into legs, WAY safer than the angled piece of wood I had taped to the leg!

[@Simon-Smith.]

Another great video and some clever tips also. Thanks guys, I really enjoy your videos.

[@harryg3889]

I like the thoughtfulness that you guys put into your projects. Design, discussion of manufacturing techniques and my favorite part, if you don’t feel comfortable and confident with a particular portion of the process i,e. milling the sharp undercut of the table on the table saw. My thoughts on that are tall fences and sleds are musts and take some practice “runs” to see where there might be some unsteadiness. You guys are good designers.

[@jitty4293]

I've had great success cutting the Steep Bevel with a track saw.

hey what about a circular or track saw? I m a beginner and definitely want to bevel. Thanks for all your vids!!

The artistic creativity and precision you bring to your work is extremely impressive to me. Your projects have made me look at furniture builds and your style in a whole new light. I consider your projects as "advanced" level but I really want to try one of your builds. Can you suggest one of your build plans for someone starting out? I'm ready to try and fail (goof up my lumber) to grow skills. Love your shop, style and humor. Awesome video. Thanks for sharing

I used to cut those steep undercut bevels on bigger tables (with a sliding panel saw no less). It was definitely hairy and we had a tall fence and just screwed the top to it, always using two people.

[@NorthpoleShuffle]

[@DrBoobY2K]

Really like the video. I've been watching since quite possibly the first four eyes video, as that was around the time I first started trying to really improve my woodwork. Currently this video is perfectly at my level as this is exactly what I'm trying to do, and I do appreciate the emphasis on certain cuts being unsafe with certain set ups which to be honest I don't think is mentioned enough in wood working youtube. For me, personally more videos like this. Also, not to be lame, I'm at the level where I'm up for the challenge of doing one of your more advanced builds, but the pricing of your plans means it's too much of a commitment. I appreciate how much work you guys have put into these, but my workshop isn't quite like yours, if I have £130 to go into my wood work I'm buying a nice sheet of valchromat or a rail square. At half the price I'd take a chance, but if I were to do it properly, in wood, it's a few hundred more or so for the lumber to do your (again, very pretty) project. My honest, loving thoughts. Like the video very much and personally enjoy this direction.

[@dmitribohanon3106]

One way to do the steep angle bevel is to clamp a tracksaw to your workpiece (upside down if angle is on top) hanging beyond the edge so only the portion you desire is cut and set the angle desired.

As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement kzbin.infoUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!

[@dmartin1650]

For wide bevels I like to use a hand saw to rough cut the waste (or a jig saw with a simple base support), then a hand plane to finish to the lines. Less dust, little sanding, compatable speed and a lot safer and less stressful. IMHO at least.
