[@jjjjdooley]

It may be mundane, but I enjoy the sped up milling process. It just reinforces the process in my mind.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Good to know! Sometimes I forget not everybody does this stuff as often as I do. Thanks for watching!

[@erickarton3831]

Glad to see a project that didn’t involve either slabs or plywood👍🏼 Love seeing a new course as well

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Happy to hear that! Thanks for watching!

[@csehszlovakze]

same here, plywood is ridiculously expensive where I live.

[@Dickie2702]

Try buying hardwood in the UK if you want to experience payment pain!

[@BsBucWiLD]

Yeah, it is one reason why I don't really watch your videos, this caught my eye... just wish you did more explaining rather than basically an infomercial...

[@JackMoskowitz]

Another beautiful piece. And definitely not boring!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Happy to hear that! Thanks for watching!

[@chuckmeister6518]

Been waiting for a new Shaun Boyd video! Thanks, Shaun!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

I know it's been a bit, thanks for watching!

[@josemoya991]

Awesome piece. It might be simple, but this piece can go in any home and any room. I never would have thought to use the webbing. Thanks for the idea. I'm looking forward to seeing the new shop.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

That's exactly what we were going for, glad you dig it! Thanks for watching!

[@helenablignaut662]

Maybe I'm just weird that way, but I enjoy watching milling, glue-ups, sanding, finishing and everything else you're willing to throw at me. Watching someone who loves what they're doing and is good at it as well, just brings me joy.

[@oscartortajada5027]

Believe me, you are not alone!

[@ricardoalves9394]

For future reference, when installing the cane, you should cut your square with a few extra inches from all sides, this gives room to pull the cane so it has a more stretched look on the front. Also, you should spray a little bit of water on it when installing, in order to loosen the cane, as it dryes, it tightens back up, helping with the stretched and even look.

[@dukkiegamer1733]

This is great advice. I am going to use this some day. I love the look of cane.

[@SaltJamie]

Yes just like stretching a canvas over a frame, you want it to be tight and smooth.

[@uglybassplayer]

After having discovered the foureyes channel a few weeks ago and having almost binged through it completely, I can burry my worries about not having anything to watch soon. So prepare yourself for a lot of viewing action on my account on your channel. Absolutely love your work and design, and your videos are just awesome. Thanks for existing, people like you make the world better ❤️

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Happy to hear that! Thanks for watching!

[@iandodd7828]

I’m not usually a fan of round overs, but I love the ones separating the drawer fronts. And the panels, evocative of vintage Fender tweed amps, are an unexpected touch.

[@c.a.g.1977]

Looks awesome Shaun! Looking forward to more sanding and finishing videos from your new shop!

[@chancemcclendon3906]

Would love more plan-oriented videos in the future. your plans are some of the best and now that I have access to a shop having high quality stuff like yours really makes a difference

[@ckeducation2010]

That's a work of art! I love it! Thanks.

[@meoutwest]

Looking forward to the new shop. Thanks for the great content

[@sheepforwheat]

Your editing, animations, narration, and story telling are amazing.

[@JakeT42]

This may just be my favorite piece of yours, seriously incredible! It was amazing to see how the little details can make a simple design so complex and beautiful. Can't wait to see more builds!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate that! Thanks for watching!

[@yousif1900]

Is simple but beautiful 👍🏼

[@lutzproductions919]

This was awesome! As a small time woodworking business I find this way more relatable for a typical commission piece than something with a slab. Keep em comin brother

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

[@kypass]

great job, cant wait to see the new location,

[@jayespinal]

A master piece of simplicity, I hope to build one like this soon, will be sure to buy the course. Great video and even better piece, well done Shaun.

[@RAYINxREDSKY]

just letting you know... i enjoy watching the milling process. it takes me back to the time in woodshop class in high school.

[@johnjaso1349]

perfect work and great narrating!

[@martinfletcher2729]

looks good, look forward to seeing what is important in your new workshop

[@kbreckan]

This is beautiful!

[@NEzFiA]

Nice piece!

[@handymadness]

I love the milling part of woodworking videos. It’s my favorite part!

[@5ElementsWoodworking]

I love the quotes from expert woodworkers, it adds legitimacy to what you are doing. // I like it! There's a reason why mission style furniture is popular. It's simple, but often in that "cleverly simple" way.

[@seanaldrich5024]

Spittin facts. The older I get the more I want the why. Instead of parroting things I want to know why so I can apply it to other aspects of building or improve upon what I was taught.

[@gregmize01]

that glue up aftermatch was brutal! Thanks for making these vids Shaun, great build!!!!

[@user-vg7ts2qt7k]

Been waiting for a new Shaun Boyd video! Thanks, Shaun!. Your editing, animations, narration, and story telling are amazing..

[@sam-bn5hl]

looks very nice

[@cirrusdesigngroup]

Thanks Shaun. So good as always...appreciate the reality you bring to building stuff...and yet...continue to inspire...please keep doing what you are doing...I appreciate it!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Happy to hear that, thanks for watching!

[@sampathsatti-sz3wj]

I love this piece in particular shaun, maple panels are really quite something!

[@AaronGeller]

I never get bored of your narrations and cleverness. Simplicity is definitely underrated, and yet a "simple piece", as you've demonstrated, can be the result of a melange of simultaneous complex and simple techniques. It's easy to be tempted into thinking every piece needs to be complicated. It's reassuring to see beauty in simplicity. Thank you so much for taking your time to create such an enjoyable and informative video.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate that! Thanks for watching!

[@oldiousnei]

The man is back in form. Thank you for such a great video and build idea.

[@shinnick22]

It’s weird but I love when the rabbet cut off shoots out

[@andliusha]

Great stuff :)

[@garrettcox]

I really like this. It’s furniture I’d actually buy/have. Nice job.

[@kevinworth]

Smashed that bell, because I don't wanna miss a thing! Agreed, this piece looks good!

[@fabianselect8299]

Gran trabajo, saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱

[@pedro-marques-jesus]

Excelent. Keep going.

[@ronithjukanti9459]

So fresh and so clean! The OutKast reference 🔥🔥

[@hoxha34]

i came across this video. this was a really nice design and excellent craftmanship. Great video.

[@dianeewoldt3035]

I like it. Regarding the cane panels- have you ever replaced the screen in a screen door? Caning is basically the same. Make a shallow recess as you did in the video to allow for the door to be flush with the track and then make a deeper narrow recess (spline) to hold the spline that holds the cane taut in the panel. Cut the cane webbing panel about an inch larger length/width than the opening. Wet the cane webbing and the spline material. Lay the cane panel in place and use stick pins to position into the spline. Then insert the spline-a flat head screwdriver is a good tool. Let the panel dry and then trim the edges. When it dries the webbing will shrink and give a nice tight finished look. Staples aren’t your friend when using cane webbing- the panel will sag over time. ❤

[@TheTranq]

I think it’s a really nice piece.

[@dagored100]

I love it, a really beautiful piece ❤❤❤

[@tclynn10]

Looks awesome brother!

[@jaykepley5238]

Another great video! Thank you, Shaun Boyd! 👏👏👏

[@perrypark8485]

Don't underestimate boring folks who enjoy watching cool projects come to life, I find myself watching your content over and over, I always learn something and find your style entertaining, keep up.the great work, I do appreciate your content.

[@a_ham_like_me]

That credenza is smiling at me. I am happy now.

[@Crazyrayss]

Quick tip for cane, if you soak it with water prior to stapling it, when it dries it will actually shrink a little bit to get a cleaner tighter looking finish

[@markhenkelman9989]

Came here to say this!

[@jtsholtod.79]

The piece at the end looks like a smiling face. And nobody should find a smile boring! 🙂

[@shaunboydmadethis]

I like that, and agree!

[@jvarblaze7495]

Love your work and your videos!!!

[@colinchesbrough5772]

Shaun, most everyone on here is a woodworker in some regard, or they wouldn't be watching. And some of us are fine furniture makers as well. What you call a "snooze fest", is pure entertainment to your audience. Beautiful piece

[@tobiaswambsgan5373]

Sean, your Projects and you are both great. I love your calm and nice attitude and your way to explain stuff. The cabinet is not boring, I really like it! Thanks for good quality content! Toby

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks Toby!

[@polerin]

I stream woodworking to a very small audience, but that "glue is on the peice no time to think about the camera" moment is so relatable

[@jtotheb-ip2hh]

stoked. lovely. looking forward to more!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you! More to come!

[@arturomty9969]

Excellent!

[@briarlabone3802]

Hello! I’m usually a silent watcher but about the shampoo thing, you are supposed to shampoo twice and then condition. The first shampoo is good at loosening dirt and oils and everything, but the second one is what strips it all off. So the rinse and repeat thing is correct! A wild amount of people don’t know that though, I think it’s really only something people find out from their hairdressers. Sometimes in salons if someone’s hair is really greasy, we would shampoo three times even. Love your videos!

[@AngelLuisTrinidad]

It's beautiful Shaun.

[@percyquispepinto9132]

Hermoso trabajo bro

[@TheDrflay3]

Awesome, as always.

[@williamellis8993]

Great build, Shaun. I was waiting for the plank at the end and you didn't disappoint. Bill

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank Bill! This one was perfect planking size.

[@Slovenianwoodworker]

Very good man

[@SpikeMorelli]

love the most exciting part of making drawer boxes... that flying piece is the kicker :D . As usual fantastic work @shaunboydmadethis , I'm so glad you're back on your own channel, it's one of the few unique places left in the woodworking YT world.

[@JimfromIndy]

I liked your base. May use it for a project I've been working on for many moons.

[@jbrickey]

Beautiful piece Shaun. Love the video.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you!

[@alisonmoffitt1051]

Super cool Shaun 😍😍

[@miansim8950]

It's cool! What kind of painting do you use

[@royunderwood7514]

That guy does nice work

[@richardcloud9265]

It’s difficult to imagine a better example of a simple yet incredibly attractive/interesting/captivating (I’m paraphrasing) piece. Then there is your narration that is well-written and delivered superbly. Purple attire (I’d noticed it), clamps on the floor (I get it) and shampoo protocols (I lived it). Nice. Being old enough to have read “rinse and repeat”on labels in the mid-late 70’s as a kid, I’d wondered if the everyone using it today really understands from where it comes. Finally, the guitar amp material webbing is extremely useful. I’d love to know how you find supply resources like that. I find myself looking for things such as metal inlay supplies or decorative metal hardware (joining two panels via decorative metal piece, for instance) resource. I built two vanities with frame and panel doors that may have gotten webbing had I known about your supply shop.

[@SaltJamie]

Ha this is cool. Cane webbing is an old style weave of material for chairs. Yes similar to wicker. It has it's place in historical furniture. Anyway what you have is perfect for that piece and this is also looks like material that would have gone on nice speaker cabinets considered modern like this beautiful piece.

[@stephenowens5375]

Class👍

[@prettynicefield1104]

ahhh the lay down yep project approuved nice signature !!!

[@AlbiWiedersberg]

For cane webbing I learned that soaking it in water helps expand the webbing. This helps tighten the webbing after it's put in place later on for a tighter fit. Just in case it's helpful!

[@ScottyDrake]

Placing the curve of the base UPWARD was an interesting choice.

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

It's not boring, it's graceful. Nicely done.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you!

[@scientist1200]

I like it. It looks like a giant boom box!

[@DotaBillfuc]

I like it.

[@jairsouza7108]

Muito bom, deu vontade de fazer um assim. 🇧🇷

[@buffstickles6316]

Hay Shaun, love the Chanel, I have an idea for a future project, how about a humidor?

[@bluebirdwoodshop]

very clean and simple nice work!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks Liam! Hope all is well!

[@bluebirdwoodshop]

@@shaunboydmadethis you too :)

[@umargul5644]

Great 👍

[@ChrisToups]

great to see a new video Shaun! I just started building (a very slight variation on) the Benjiro dresser. Love your designs, man.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Awesome, good luck with it! And thanks for watching!

[@user-ce7on9ts9t]

sans doute classique mais c'est du bon travail et bien réalisé , bravo !

[@keithklein4538]

Hi, Elegant simplicity is not boring visually. You have achieved an esthetic with this piece that has echoes of the post WWII period and the Scandinavian design school. The curve in the top of the base is especially effective in providing a blank or negative highlight to the piece. Nicely done. And another thing about « boring pieces ». Sometimes I want to make something that doesn’t stretch my skills too much. Currently I am finishing a replica of a Roycroft magazine cabinet that has no right angles, through tenons keyed in place, and a small hidden drawer with all compound angle cuts. When it is finished, I will build a blanket chest with frame and panel joinery, and it will be a welcome relief from compound angles. I bet it takes me much less time to complete, too. Cheers

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate all of that! I agree, sometimes it's nice to just stay in your wheelhouse and feel like you really know what you're doing. Gives me a little more energy to stretch my legs on the next one!

[@fidgetshouse]

That is one beautiful box!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Appreciate it!

[@vdis]

I rinse and repeat. Didn't know it says so on the bottle, though. Until now. Thanks 😄

[@wayneburns4808]

Good afternoon! What push to open drawer guides did you use?

[@onehandedmaker]

Great design Shaun. Entertainment unit in our stores over in Australia. Regards One Handed Maker

[@ottopjk]

Actually this video is interesting n making me watch start from beginning till the end…and the result of product is wow beauuuuutifullllll…can’t wait for your new video!!!

[@paulvolkmann2979]

Thank you for those doors. I’ve got an idea in my head for a cabinet that needs acoustically transparent material - Now I know where to get it.

[@user-rv2xp8nk9z]

Great build. What type of maple? Hard? Also how many board feet as I am hoping to price out different species for this build? Thank you.

[@rh9915]

Good Stuff

[@BillSundstrom]

I have made a couple of TV consoles where I used an aluminum frame with black nylon screening to insert as the panel in the doors. Works great for IFR remotes that penetrate to control amplifier, apple-tV, mac mini, etc. With a result of great home theater set ups . I liked the low look of your design. Get a all-in-one programable remote will control all your devices.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Nice! I haven't tested a remote with this stuff, but I imagine it should work, as well. Thanks for watching!

[@prestostimberfurniture]

Hmm, another plan I think I'll pick up. Cheers!

[@themullenmarketwoodworking]

“Measure twice, cut twice, flush trim once”…should be the new standard. 😂 great build, per the norm man!

[@aRareKindOfMonster]

Boring? For those that like simpler furniture but prefer a more functional piece, this one hits the spot. I like the more sober aesthetics of this piece to some other overly ornate creations out there. Great work.

[@nicholaswanner8792]

Great video! What finish did you use? Did you specifically select one to reduce the yellowing of the maple?

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks! I used water-based polyurethane. And yep, that's exactly right, I chose it to keep it from yellowing.

[@rutabegared1]

Loved the panicked glue-up aftermath. I'm all too familiar with that as well😊.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Yep, one of those things we all get to experience!

[@chansasalimu9007]

Any link to where I can purchase this piece of furniture?
