This desk is HUGE

ABOUT THIS VIDEO
I'm back, baby! And building a huge walnut desk made with two massive walnut slabs for the top. The cabinets are also parallelograms, which is fun, and there are all sorts of other interesting things going on with this one. I also share all the details about why I am posting videos on my old channel again.

[@petrsidlo7614]

I found you On Foureyes, but when I learned you used to have your own channel I quite quickly binged most of your videos. While both you and Chris work great together I am kinda glad you are parting ways. Each of you has different style of narrating and approach and now we get basically double the content. Best of luck growing the channel, can't wait for the next video.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate all of that! I'm glad to be back here, and looking forward to making more videos.

[@regisfourcade7145]

Je suis entièrement d'accord avec ça : je regrettais déjà de te voir quitter ta chaine et ton atelier pour aller travailler CHEZ un autre ... même si c'était Chris .

[@jeremyspecce]

I actually have the opposite story! I think you were a great addition to Foureyes, Shaun, but I did miss your personal videos.

[@Christopher-pf8qt]

You’re so much better to listen to than your partner

[@Sodabowski]

Just subbed for the same reason.

[@christopherdiamond8624]

Glad to see you back. Personally always preferred your original channel to the joint videos.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate it! More to come!

[@branchandfoundry560]

Make that two of us!

[@Balanced_Grain]

Stoked to have found you years ago. Stoked you and Chris partnered. Stoked your doing your own channel again. You both have inspired and taught me so much. Thank you.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Happy to hear that! Thanks for following along.

[@jessemkahn]

also, so glad you’re back with your own channel.

[@RunningHauki]

Awesome you are back on your own channel. Four eyes is great but I missed your narrations.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Happy to hear that! Thanks for watching, and more to come!

[@tyhalcomb4067]

That kick flip comment really hit home. Glad you're back on this channel!

[@dannyforner]

Welcome back, dude!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks, man! Glad to be back.

[@alexmullermusic8045]

Isn’t this great?!

[@e7engle]

I am so glad that you laid on top of the desk.. I have missed that.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

I had to.

[@weberwoodshop]

Satisfying build... Extremely unsatisfying lack of personal drama between you and Chris. Welcome back ;)

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Haha! KZbin loves drama, missed opportunity. Thanks, man!

[@kadendanielson3080]

Full plum is the bomb! I am often full tan, grey or green. It’s much like crocs or white new balance shoes.. confidence is key. So glad you’re back on your channel! Best of luck to both you and Chris!

[@davelawler5353]

im a blown man myself

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Agreed, just have to own it! Thanks for sticking around.

[@drkentlyons]

Great to see you back on your own channel! Best of luck with this phase of it!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you! I'm glad to be back!

[@Oxyflight650]

I thought I was dreaming when I saw your notification.... glad your back on your channel. Miss the ol' Shaun Boyd style

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Glad to be back and thanks for sticking around!

[@Joe___R]

Welcome back to your once forgotten channel.

[@hiboostsupra5965]

SO glad to see you back! Always considered your channel to be the best for both entertainment and design. No disrespect to Chris, but love to see your personality coming through fully.

[@branchandfoundry560]

Amen!

[@VisionCrys]

Glad to see you posting on your channel again! I’ve been watching you since back in your garage days all those years ago. How far you’ve come!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks for sticking around!

[@laurinsstuff]

F**k yes!! I've never been this hyped when I heard that someone is going to re-use their channel! keep the videos coming!!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate it! Thanks for sticking around, and more to come!

[@nikos.asproudis]

We are still here! Welcome again to your channel 😊

[@DilphLundgren]

Dude, so glad you're back! Don't get me wrong, I definitely enjoy the Foureyes stuff you guys do, but I was watching your stuff when I first started woodworking and I didn't realize how much I missed this channel. I'm pumped.

[@craftfix5834]

Exactly some story with me. I remember sliding into his dm. I grew passion for woodworking while watching him

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really glad to hear all of that! It’s good to be back.

[@DanielLopez-sz1lx]

Glad to see you back and on your channel. I have always enjoyed your creative and original designs and how easy you explain the process!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Awesome to hear that, thanks for sticking around!

[@WinnellTV]

Welcome back, sir. I’m a Shaun fan and a Chris fan and a Shaun/Chris fan, and mostly a Chris/Shaun fan. This will be good.

[@alisonmoffitt1051]

Shaun, I chuckled all the way through this. I love your work but equally your sense of humour.

[@mwheeler2189]

I am so friggin jazzed that you are posting on this SBMT channel again. I’m genuinely excited to continue to follow your journey. Congratulations on your new endeavors and new beginnings.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate it! Thanks for following along!

[@davetarrant6888]

Hey Shaun it’s great to see you posting back on your channel. I have always liked your style of presenting on this channel. Looking forward to seeing more. Best of luck to you with what ever way life takes you.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Glad to be back! More to come!

[@adrian_orozco]

hell yeah, boyd's back

[@Poopdar]

I'm surprised how happy it made me to see you lie down on your completed work on this channel again. Nice to have you back

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Glad to be back!

[@davekimball3610]

Glad to see you back, whether here or with Chris, as I commented on his video, if anything, this just leads to more content for us to see, which is a great thing. Now get that merch restocked on your website!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

That is what we are going for! Thanks for watching!

[@northernworks]

Good to have you back! Just means more Shaun goodness for everyone.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Glad to be back!

[@branchandfoundry560]

Well said!

[@JBLewis]

You and Chris have worked really well together, rubbing off on each other a little bit in the process, but I have to say, I enjoy your solo videos, as I did before you joined up with Foureyes.

[@BrokenThornDesigns]

Who needs Chris? He was holding you back! J/K, love you both, good luck on your own channel, you'll crush it.

[@edwardsimmons3721]

I like both channels. Both of you have the same approach. Love the attention to detail.

[@Thebeanmachine4519]

I like the change of you two having your own seperate channels. Hope you will still collaborate on many projects such as this one. I enjoyed there being two video's because you both have a similar but different style of making video's I like. Love your designs. The plum outfit looks fresh btw

[@mikeleiste6101]

The plum outfit is on another level

[@3rd_stall]

Plumlicious. Professor Plum in the kitchen with the hammer.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

I have no clue what you are talking about.

[@RFMongoose]

Glad to have you back. You make good content buddy.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks for sticking around!

[@MikeMuncher]

Just recently found both your channel and Foureyes. I love your rapport and creative collaboration, but I’m stoked to see that you’ll be back doing your own thing. More content, but still having that rapport from time to time? Win-win! Cake and Edith, too! Keep it up, man!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you! That is exactly what we are going for, still collaborating, and now more content.

[@bumpy6798]

Welcome back Shaun….. great to have two channels again.

[@reverendlarshassler245]

Awesome work brother. Love you and Chris on Forureyes and you'll be missed on that channel but i got you here.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you! There will still be plenty of cross-over, so you'll see us around both channels.

[@floriantams5620]

Just could not belive, that there is a new video on this channel. I watched both channels before you guys sticked your awesome work together. Wish you all the best for your future, hoping for some crosscountryprojects soon. Greetings from germany

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks for sticking around! More to come!

[@GabeSchultz1]

What an incredible piece of furniture!!

[@stevenjones6982]

Bro! Stoked to see you’re posting on your own channel again!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Right on! Thanks for sticking around!

[@davidm2645]

Welcome back Shaun! I wondered where you went. Your videos just stopped....and I was sad. But now you are back....and now I'm glad.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Sad to glad is the right direction!

[@redwood1904]

Glad to see this channel going again! I love your guys videos. Very educational and the quality is top notch

[@bradstooks6181]

You guys did an amazing job! That’s a bad ass desk!

[@elrayox8932]

Good to see you back and doing a solo album.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Glad to be back! Hopefully I can make a few hits.

[@TheVectorious]

Definitely the right amount of plum. You need a plum shop towel hanging out of your back pocket. Then you would be super cool plum guy.

[@jkzamien]

Glad to see you back! Looking forward to what you do next. I got back into woodworking again a few years ago and you and Chris have been huge inspirations for me.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Awesome to hear that! Thanks for watching!

[@gavinhillery3130]

Didn’t realize how much I missed the SBMT opening music. Happy to resubscribe to the channel. I hope this works out for you and your family. Oh and I like that you’re whistling the Addam’s Family theme.

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

killer work shaun! pumped to see this channel back in action dude! looking forward to some puns :)

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks, man! I'm happy to be back.

[@AndersKjaerProduction]

Shaun - Happy to see you back here 🙂

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you! Glad to be back.

[@LordWaterBottle]

Well, I'm glad to say that the algorithm does know that the Foureys Furniture channel is related to this one.

[@Dickie2702]

Great to have you back Shaun, you are more talented and creative than you think you are. I for one missed your style as an individual and I sincerely hope you make a financial success of the channel. Prior to you signing on with Foureyes you were my favorite woodworking creator by a country mile. Good luck my friend from the UK. Maybe you can answer a question I've always wanted to ask, why the Union Jack on your old workshop wall?

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate all of that! I’m hoping for the same. My dad is from Northern Ireland, so I have a lot of family in the UK and have spent a lot of time there over the years.

[@matevajda3176]

Yes, the thing is still on

[@c.a.g.1977]

Sad to hear you're "breaking up" with Chris. Loved the chemistry between the two of you. I really loved your videos on the Four Eyes channel, don't think this will be any different here. Good luck to (both of) you!

[@williamellis8993]

Your part of the desk looks great, Shaun. It's kind of sad to see that you may have to leave but it's good that we will still get to see your videos. I am subscribed to your channel (as well as Foureyes) and I never unsubscribed yours when you joined Foureyes. Also, the plums need to match better (lol). Bill

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks for sticking around! More to come!

[@kevinfloyd4907]

Found you on FourEyes and while I will miss the way both of you played off each other I’m happy to have another channel to watch. Good luck

[@jnhhj3168]

Glad I never unsubscribed because Shaun makes a great video!

[@leechjames]

free hand drilling the draw front pilot holes gave me chills. thanks for the video.

[@KolChuBirke]

So glad you're back!

[@not.sure.yet.]

I think your plum outfit is on the level.

[@crich83baby]

I’m happy. Welcome back, Shaun!

[@johnhutton7708]

Full plum makes me want to go and play classic Clue and now you're Professor Plum !!!

[@jadesiphone896]

FULL PLUM!!!! Welcome back, stoked to have you here again!!

[@slackalackin]

I go to school for Industrial Design with a buddy of mine. He always rolled up to our intro shop class in THE BEST fits. The plum on plum looks straight out of his wardrobe. Perfect amount of plum.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

He sounds like a good dude! Can't go wrong with full plum.

[@ericliddle7556]

Dude…I am so happy you’re back on your own channel! Not that I’m happy you and Chris split, for lack of a better term, but more so that I’ll get double the content. It’s also pretty odd…over the month or so I’ve been recovering from a bad bout with Covid, and I have watched a bunch of your old videos.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate it! Hope you are doing better now!

[@StephenBoyd21]

From one Boyd to another, it is great to see you back where you belong.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Appreciate it, brother Boyd!

[@TheBlueMuzzy]

Full Plum... All Day. Welcome back! I was wondering why you weren't appearing on FourEyes as much. I'm glad it's all good news!

[@jwadamucci]

Yooooo….my man! So good to the SBMT channel back up. I’ve missed seeing you laying down on a job [well done].

[@lukecrawford5181]

When I first started watching on Foureyes, I think I started with the video that Chris introduced the fact that you were officially joining the channel so obviously went back and watched the back catalogue from both of you. I even wound up with a mug and a t-shirt at one point (lost in a fire) so as much as it is bittersweet to be moving to two channels again I believe that it is overall a great move and I am glad to two channels to rep and have twice the video to watch again! I built my version of your Chessboard 3 years ago, and plan on making another as soon as I have access to the tools to do so (again, fire) so I'll call that my celebration of this channel being active again. Cheers, thanks for the woodworking and rhymes!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

That's awesome, thanks for following along with all the different versions!

[@Doshinkyo]

Full plum is.. brave. So bravo! 😉

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Haha, I like living on the edge with my fashion choices.

[@cursplat]

Shaun. May many sponsors come your way. They should.

[@2011jdeane]

Shaun! I don't know why I got so emotional watching this but man the old music hit me hard. Hope all the best for you and your family and obviously Chris and his channel but man the lay at the end was missed 💕

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate that! Happy to be back, and happy to hear people feel the same!

[@benhinkle8591]

God I’ve missed this! Glad you’re back!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Happy to be back! Thanks for watching!

[@SpikeMorelli]

you cannot imagine how surprised and happy I was when I saw you popping up on my feed. I never got into the foureyes thingie, it didn't have the vibe your videos use to have and this did not disappoint even tho I miss your old workshop (I bet your don't, it was so much smaller :) ). Take care man. (plum combo is plum and so good to see you lay down on the table again :) ).

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate that! Who knows, I might end up back in a garage.

[@texasbelliott]

Plum it up homeboy, just like that! You rock it, Shaun.

[@ShaunBoydMadeThis._]

Thanks for the reply Congrats you've won contact me right away I have something for you Telegram.👆👆

[@stve156]

Good to see the old channel up and running again. Great skills, great to watch

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks Steve! Glad to be back!

[@jeffersonsanchez5972]

We are here for the next chapter man. Thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks for sticking around!

[@nathanielvillemaire314]

Love the concept of two videos with varying perspectives on the two channels

[@cosmicfantastic]

just the right amount of plum, Shaun

[@heresmyurl]

I'm so glad you're back to posting on your channel. This is the channel of the two I'm subscribed to.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Happy to be back!

[@NicolasChantier]

Good to see you back here. Greetings from Europe 🇪🇺.

[@markdesign1354]

chris is great, but i always preferred your style of videos. Glad to see you back!

[@MoreThanWood]

Glad your back! Foreyes was never my jam but always loved your channel

[@AbdelhamidTaha]

As a mathematician I had to slam that like button for the geometry shout out! Love it actually! Thanks for a great video!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

I always try to give math a shoutout. Glad I paid attention in geometry class!

[@alexvoltz3719]

Back to laying on furniture. Love it.

[@AlexElmore1978]

The full plum combo is 🔥

[@chadricheson1038]

“Gluefinger”… worst Bond villain ever.

[@clydedecker765]

i have nothing to say in a negative way about EITHER of you but I do appreciate your humor (humour, for those English/Canadian folks) more so I am going to continue to follow you assiduously without missing a single one - of either channel...

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks for sticking around! More humor/humour to come!

[@Bobby-bo3zc]

This just popped on my feed. Shawn is back!!!🤘

[@adamromano5866]

Good to see you back here Shaun. Missed this channel!

[@deanbiffin]

It’s great your back! Good luck with the return…

[@MrThomasLion]

So good to have you back.

[@shamanFR]

Wether on FourEyes or here, happy to see you’re back in the spotlight!!

[@WrongTimeWatch]

Good luck with whatever you decide for your channel.

[@pbuk1031]

Great to see you back on your own channel

[@jenford7078]

I had forgotten just how humorous your narratives are, so nice to find you posting videos again.

[@mohammmedj]

Welcome back Shaun Best of luck with your new journey.

[@michaelturner4832]

Like seeing your work on whatever channel it’s posted. And that outfit is plum crazy

[@ConductorRyan]

Hey!!! Welcome back. I liked your dynamic with Chris, but I missed style of your solo videos, too. You rock.

[@heatherwinmill3838]

I definitely was sad when you went to Foureyes, I loved your style of videos a lot more. I hope you go back to that style at least a little bit.

[@michaelneely4333]

Welcome back Shawn. Keep crushing it.
