You SHOULD try this at home

[@_dooley]

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!

[@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. ❤

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!

[@shaunkhan9049]

I started doing this a few years ago and yeah, it works amazingly well

[@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!

[@Eriksvensson4231]

[@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...

[@chuckmeister6518]

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

[@shaunboydmadethis]

I know it's been a bit, 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!

[@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

[@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.

[@JackMoskowitz]

Another beautiful piece. And definitely not boring!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Happy to hear that! 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!

[@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.

[@oatmeal63]

Shaun, thanks so much for your videos. I've watch a lot them and some more than once. You are an inspiration.

[@handymadness]

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

[@erroldavis2983]

Just looking around your shop, I think it’s safe to tell the folks that are considering a wood working hobby, or a new profession, that you have around $200,000.00 + invested in tools and equipment. Yes you make it look easy with that much invested. AS a former retired custom woodworker,millwright, & boat designer builder, I can’t wait to die and go to heaven, because they will have enough clamps up there~!!!

[@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!

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@RAYINxREDSKY]

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

[@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!

[@vacrayton]

I’m not sure what makes this video so enjoyable to watch the voice or the actual woodworking lol

[@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!

[@charliebopeaches1]

Shaun, I just finished building a Cece and wanted to share my experience with you and Chris. Introduction: My name is Navigateor f. from the Phoenix area, AZ and have been an auto mechanic for the past 20 years. Part of my duties require fabrication/repairs of heavy trucks and bodies. Because of this, I have many years of experience using MIG and ARC welders and torches. Approx. three years ago, I took a job in the front office and traded my toolbox in for a computer with dual monitors and now look at Excel spreadsheets for most of the day. Because this, I longed for that type of fabrication work and using my hands other than typing on a keyboard. My original plan was to purchase a TIG welder and plasma cutter. And had them all picked out. At the last minute, I decided to not purchase those items and decided to get into woodworking instead. My actual though was, “I will get into woodworking, it has to be cheaper than metalwork” ………. Well, after a table saw, band saw, planner, jointer, and various other tools, boy I was wrong. Woodworking experience: Up until about three years ago I had no woodworking experience other than going to Home Depot to get 2x4’s, plywood, for general projects around the house. More function than form or looks. In the past three years I started making cutting boards, pens, and other small projects. Selling them here and there. Finally, I wanted to build something that would require a lot more skill and technique. That is what lead me to the Cece rocking chain after a google search. From there, I found and subscribed to the Foureyes channel on KZbin. And then finally purchased the plans and templates as a Christmas present to myself. Wood selection: In watching your videos, I noticed that you sometimes get your material from Woodworkers Source. Like was mentioned earlier, I live in the Phoenix area, AZ and there is a Woodworkers Source about three miles from my house. I passed by this store while out and about for over 25 years and never stopped by to check it out, up until about three years ago. Now, usually stop in every month or so to check things out and they usually have something on sale that I always pick up a couple of board feet of. They are very helpful and are patient with us beginners. My plan was to make it out two different species of wood. The chair out of something dark and the arms/rockers out of something light. However, I decided to make the whole thing out of red oak. The side of the chair is out of roasted red oak. Mostly due to cost and it was my first time taking on a project this big. I do appreciate that you include the plywood instructions on your plans but wanted to go with a hard wood. Cutting all the pieces: This was strait forward as I now have all the tools to dimension the lumber down. The one area that I had trouble with was using a flush trim bit to cut the arms, rockers, and riser to the final shape. This is due to my lack of experience with a router. I will include some pictures, but on the final assembly these pieces are not as crisp as your plans are. Next time I will address this and will practice my router skills. Domino/dowels: Prior to watching your course, I had no idea what a domino was. Then after watching some KZbin videos, it became quite clear to me that this is a controversial tool in the woodworking community. So, I went to Woodworkers Source just so I could get my hands on one, check it out, and ask some questions about it. After all this, I decided to use dowels, considering I never really used dowels or a domino before. Either way it would be a new experience for me. The one area where I think a domino would be better than the dowel would be in the first seat slat (closest to the back of your knees). This is because with only room to put one dowel in, I was afraid that this slat would get loose over time and rotate. To fix this, I installed another dowel at a 45 degree angle into the seat side (will include a picture of this). Glue up: To glue the arms to the rockers, I used a 2x4 that I cut a “V” into and a couple of clamps. That was no problem. The seat and back were pretty easy, but I did make the mistake of applying glue to the whole sides of the rails and not just to the slates. It did require some sanding that was not expected. Next time, I will be more careful of that. Stretchers between rockers: This might be a little controversial, but I added three stretchers. This is for two reasons. When looking at your design for this chair I loved it but must admit something to me looked like it was missing? Because of this I knew that I wanted to add some stretchers but did not know how many or what type. Thought of maybe doing an “X”, adding enough that it would create a little shelf, or some type of design. In the end I put three. Two closes together near the front and one in the back. Still not sure how I feel about it. But I think only two would be better. The other reason that stretchers where added was due to assembly of the legs to the chair. In your plans you mention a 12* seat angle. To do this, I made a jig where I could rest the seat on and then line up the legs to it. When doing this I thought it would be great if there were some stretchers on the rockers so I could line up the seat with out the legs falling over so I could get a good measurement. Dowels between arms and seat: The other area that I deviated from you plans were how the seat attaches to the stretchers. I am about 250 lbs. and did not want to put any screws in this chair. A total of eight dowels were used to glue the seat to the stretchers. Then, I took four half inches by four-inch dowels drilled holes from the arms to the seat and glued them in place. In the pictures I put red oak end grain plugs over the dowels. Next time, I will not use end grain but need to get a better hole saw to cut out the plugs better. Finish: To finish I decided to go with a mixture of clear polyurethane, turpentine, and Danish oil. Applied two coats and then put on a coat of Danish oil/bee’s wax. Buffed to a nice shine. Conclusion: All said and done, I have about 100 hours in this project. It was very rewarding and taught me a lot. Thank you for providing this course and I will be on the look out for more to do in the future. Navigator

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Hi Navigator, thanks for the thoughtful and detailed comment! And glad to hear you enjoyed the Cece course and were able to make it through successfully. That is a tricky build! Good luck on whatever you decide to build next!

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

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

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you!

[@ronithjukanti9459]

So fresh and so clean! The OutKast reference 🔥🔥

perfect work and great narrating!

[@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

[@hoxha34]

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

[@tobiaswam5373]

[@gregmize01]

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

[@garrettcox]

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

[@kypass]

great job, cant wait to see the new location,

[@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.

[@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.

[@jcotter-r5i]

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

[@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!

[@Slovenianwoodworker]

Very good man

[@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.

[@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.

[@kevinworth]

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

[@meoutwest]

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

[@JimfromIndy]

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

[@martinfletcher2729]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@sampathsatti-sz3wj]

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

[@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!

[@ckeducation2010]

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

[@oldiousnei]

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

[@scientist1200]

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

[@yousif1900]

Is simple but beautiful 👍🏼

[@rjrotermund]

Awesome project Shaun! I could be wrong, but my hairdresser says it depends on how dirty/oily your hair is. She said if it does not sud(s)?) up then you should rinse and repeat and you should keep doing that until you achieve a nice foamy soap. by the way that's a sucky commute bro! I did two hours one way for a time and I dot tired of that fast.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Ah, ok. That makes more sense. I guess that means I keep my hair pretty clean!

[@mtthwdhrty]

Some of the tar-based shampoos for dry scalp still have those instructions on the bottle!

[@SRM_NZ]

'The happy face credenza'... I'm probably weird...but I like your video's because of your knowledge.....I'm good at what I'm good at...and I like watching people who are good at what they are good at....When I was a kid, my 'shop' teacher told me..."a wood worker you'll naught be" and that's fine....Most of my subb'd channels are those that are good at what they do....and that's entertainment for me

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Happy to hear that! And glad you found your thing, too!

[@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.

[@davebrakas3704]

Love the sliding doors. If you soak the Cain in hot water then put it in the doors the Cain will tighten up and not be saggy. I did the same type of thing but on drawer faces. Love the content. Keep up the great work.

[@wayneburns4808]

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

[@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.

[@jbrickey]

Beautiful piece Shaun. Love the video.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you!

[@vdis]

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

[@BrandonDJx]

Real quality build, love your content. - p.s. I think with reed mesh you have to soak it, stretch it out and fix it in place. When it dries out it pulls tight. This removes any lumps or creases in the material.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you! And you are totally right, I found out about that little trick about a day after I finished installing the doors. I'll know for next time!

[@tomdenapoli5313]

I've been looking for something like this, thanks! Design-wise, how would you stretch this to 105"; 2 sets of drawers?

[@standingwavestudio]

Yes, shampoo used to say "rinse and repeat". There was a great reason for that. You would use twice the amount of shampoo... Good for shampoo makers.

[@jasonchristiansen9063]

I will watch whatever you put on youtube.

[@pedro-marques-jesus]

Excelent. Keep going.

[@michaelvetrano5813]

Thanks for another great video, I always enjoy seeing your creative design and methods. I have been woodworking for quite a few years and have taught several classes at my local woodworking store. I always emphasize to my students to be consistent throughout the process and to use the tools to your advantage. When you use a straight edge and router to cut a dado, you used the curved part of the router base against the straight edge. This could lead to an inconsistent distance from the straight edge to the dado. Yes, it is a very small distance but could lead to problems on a long dado. Better to use the straight part of the router base. Looking forward to more of your videos.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks for watching! I totally agree with you, though the reason I don't use the flat side is that if it gets away from you, it will be a lot more dramatic than when using the curved side. And if you make sure your router bit is centered to your router base, and keep it against the straightedge at the same spot on the router, there really isn't much to worry about.

[@Animusche]

I like to see (and make) a "boring" pieces with some specific details, personal signature of the creator. Japanese woodworkers are one of the best in this discipline.

[@chansasalimu9007]

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

[@countryseller]

Your dad jokes are on point in this video shaun! 👌

[@TimBielawa]

Nice build! 🎉 Not sure why, but I assumed the floor frame assembly would be flipped the other way, like an arch.

[@allanlindskoog]

I was thinking the same, but kinda like this look instead.

[@miansim8950]

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