You know what, I’ve commented on a lot of the work that you show in your videos. I’ve even commented about your dog. BUT I’ve never (that I know of) commented on how unbelievably smooth and clear you speak on the subject at hand. I know it’s not easy. If you have any good bloopers that would be fun to watch. (Or outtakes as it’s called these days
Haha honestly we get a lot of the voiceovers in one-take which is impressive in my opinion, I'll just go through and edit out the pauses and some of the stumbling over words etc. to clean it up, but we appreciate all your comments and certainly this one!
It never ceases to amaze me. Your work is incredible, and you use some beautiful timber. This bed is superb, your clients must be well pleased. I look forward to seeing the rest of the package, thanks for sharing. Cheers Michael.
Hi 👋 Black Forest, Great looking 👀 job guys, amazing views on the way up to site , the Olivewood art piece looks amazing, but I’m sorry to say I do not like the way it’s been hung on the wall, as you can see the resin cleat system, would have been better with keyhole plates that could’ve been set into the back, then had all the bronze, brass or stainless steel wall hangers, I know this would’ve taken a lot longer, and you probably would’ve had to make a jig off the back, so when the client decided where and how he want it fitting all the out to do was put the jig on the wall marked positions of fixtures, which coincide with the back of the art piece, The bed looks amazing , look forward to seeing the next package, stay safe, keep up the great work, Phil from the moulin France.
Now I do believe this is a first - you saying father and not using his first name - miracle - LOL. Lucky customer to own pieces of art from BFWC. Waiting for the next installment. Stay safe.
As a plastics fabricator, I have to ask… why didn’t you use a stock piece of acrylic (plexiglass) for the French cleat? No need to sand and polish the surface.
Just a note for what it’s worth. In the automotive refinish realm of things,Metallic or effect pigments should not really be sanded because the sanding process changes the shape of the metallics or mica resulting in loosing some of the effect. Perhaps when using a effect resin a wet on wet pour rather than sanding in between pours might make more sense or have slightly better results 👍🏻 great work as always!
I love the art piece. It looks like a floating spirit. The husband was smart in asking his wife to make the placement decisions. The bed is great as it is formidable in size and the wood grain is simply beautiful.
the Quality, precision and finish on, as far as I'm concerned all of the wood work and products that comes out of your shop is AAA+. Great work again guys. Brad love the Towel !! lol
Thank you so much Tim! And hahahaha, yes the towel was amazing! He told us all that he had something really special saved for the lake and that was not something I would have ever guessed
Fantastic video!!! Thanks for letting us see true craftsmanship. The attention to detail is amazing. What did he click into place at 20.55??? Keep up the good work!!!
Glad to see you're upgrading your equipment. I watch a guy in Alaska who makes cutting boards from exoctic woods. He started out in his garage and now is a big commercial space. On one of his episodes he went through the progression of equipment he has upgraded to. He's spent a lot of money.
Amazing. How that all came together with the wood chosen and epoxy is just mind blowing. Do you like to do long distance deliveries and setups? Do you hire outside contractors to bring the purchase to the costumer? Do you work with the client's contractor during construction projects? Lastly, do you bring charlie along? Great video.
It's really fun to get to travel and see our work all set up in its home! We don't typically hire outside contractors, occasionally we'll work with moving companies though. Charlie stays home with his mom when we go on these trips!
Personally I don't care how something is done, it's like complaining that someone has done something by machine instead of by hand or that they have expensive machines ... at the end of the day they still need to come up with the concept and then actually make it!! Stunning pieces and I appreciate the work which has gone into making them 👍
We released part 2 on Friday, you can check it out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-a1tYUTypvUI.html Thanks for watching and supporting us David!
When you placed the headboard into the posts with a huge mortise, it looked like you attached it with the domino 700 series knockdown connectors. I didn't see any way that you allowed for wood movement in the headboard since it seemed to be flush with the top and bottom of the mortise.
A question - maybe redundant, maybe innovative, .... Other than paint the olive tree ... wouldn't a spray coat be better - or even just have a "dunk tank" and submerge the whole piece into the solution, lift out, drain, let dry and this would be a far less timely and costly endeavor - and all cracks and crannies would be thoroughly be soaked and coated. One only need to fill a dunk tank with solution, and a drain hole that retrieves all of the excess fluids. One can quickly use less solution volume in the dunk tank - as the wood fills in and pushes the whole solution above the surface level and coats the entire piece. So having half (or less) of the solution in the dunk tank, and reclaimed when the piece is draining, the dunk tank is also draining.
I noticed that someone else asked about hardware. Are you willing to share bed rail fastener type of manufacturer? It also appears that you attached the headboard into the posts with a huge mortise and then screwed into the back with special screws. What type of screws were used to make the attachment?
What type of hardware is used to connect the rails and to connect the head rest too. Is that Festool connectors? If so how well do they hold up to weight
Dylan, with long cure pours, how do you protect from shop dust, dust bunnies, hair ets from getting on the pour? Or is it more it happens but the cnc removes it during leveling?
We have our pour room closed off and upstairs and our manufacturing is downstairs, so not much dust is getting into our pours, we also don't allow Charlie in the pour room so no pet hair is in there haha
Hi I live in the UK Northern Ireland to be exact and would love to use your products but the shipping cost make this very challenging do you have a warehouse in Europe
Hi David, currently we have a warehouse in Slovania to ship out our Black Forest Ceramics but that's all that's there for now, you can order the ceramics from the warehouse on our EU website though! blackforestceramics.com/
Hahaha I wish. I have no idea why Brad was so determined to talk about Jimmy John's sandwiches, we all really liked our sandwiches so I guess Brad really wanted to shout them out for that reason 🤣
Excellent videos love them all! I have been trying to get in touch with someone at Black Forest to ask some questions about the ceramic coating as I am looking to start using these on our projects. I have left messages, emails and no response. Is there a better way? Thank you for your time.
No the safety shoes should never come off. What should have happened is dust sheets should have been put down first. Employee safety comes before the safety of an inanimate carpet.
You guys really should not be moving those heavy pieces without shoes, get booties, get seperate shoes that aren'tworn outside, or get a brush and cleaner, but dont just wear socks!!!! But, hey, if it's the homeowners who ask you to not wear shoes it'll be an easy lawsuit to win, and they've obviously got the $$ to pay. 😢 I'm not trying to be an a** but it could really be a big deal. Just a word of advice from someone with experience. I own a large cleaning service and my lawyer and I have talked about this. I have my employees throughly clean the soles of their shoes in certain homes.
Your clients are unreasonable to expect you and your workers to work without some foot protection. You need to tell customers that footwear is required when delivering and setting up; you owe it to your dedicated and very talented workers. Beautiful job though.
I love watching you guys produce beautiful furniture for your customers. But i also have to say it should not be at the expense of the employees. The unsafe ways they use the table saw without using the proper equipment is sad to see. Seeing them reaching so far over to cut the wood without the wand and their hands as well as their body coming so close to the moving blade is scary as hell. What's more watching these younguns sand Epoxy and wood without a mask over their mouth instead of hanging on their chest is some serious health issues down the road. This bad practices should be picked up when editing the videos and when you and your father are on the floor checking the progress of work. Please push your employees to practice better safety issues. i have had cousins lose limbs, thankfully not their life. Please think of the safety of your employees.
