About this video:
This is not a typical woodworking tips video. Instead of just listing a bunch of tips with no context, I took a relatively boring piece…and transformed it into something beautiful, by highlighting some tips, tricks…and design secrets that I use all the time in my furniture. And hopefully you'll come away with some valuable insights that you can use on your projects.

Fyi, for future reference: instead of having to mess up your building with the spill over on your end grain from the black dye incident; you can use a bleaching agent (Lye, Bleach, and vinegar) all work on wood to help draw out the black dye from light woods. Then you can use a heat gun to dry the wood back out again. Just note, the darker the stain, the more these products wont help. Furthermore, clear nail polish helps too. If you cover the end cap of the intended location before you apply the resin then it won’t seep over, sand afterwards to remove the polish. Or you can simply apply a super thin coat of clear epoxy first and sand that before adding the black epoxy. That way the end grain soaks in the clear epoxy first before it tries to soak in the black dye. Either way. Multiple fixes and preps before you went and butchered it. Maybe you need a workshop think tank. Designs A+, tips and tricks B- 😂

I have spent my entire career in aerospace engineering. You clearly think like an engineer does. Slow, steady, methodical, never in a hurry. That is how great things are built. I bet when you were 10, you took apart something in your house to see how it worked, or to fix something that was broken. Every engineer shares this story.

@Foureyes.Furniture 15 дней назад

I didn't do too much taking apart. But I always loved anything having to do with patterns and art. My mom thought I would grow up to be a "high end tile guy" when I was a little kid

@BarreiraLuis 15 дней назад

Engineers and designers share a common methodological approach to solving complex problems and creating innovative solutions. While their specializations and ultimate goals may differ, the collaboration and integration of different perspectives are essential for creating products and systems that effectively meet user needs. When I was young, I used to think that one day I would invent something, and based on my knowledge, I associated that with engineering. Years later, I discovered design. The technical aspect of design takes into account numerous methodologies that depend on the intrinsic knowledge of how it will be manufactured. From assembly lines to part breakdowns, tools, drillings, router bits, etc. Regardless of the manufacturing method, whether industrial production or handmade, during the design phase the same tools are often used, such as SolidWorks and parametric design.

@karizma8175 14 дней назад

when you actually make stuff, the design is foremost, engineering is secondary, but considered. An old boss once said "we ain't building bridges". I was working as a set builder/prop maker at the time.

@BarreiraLuis 14 дней назад

@@karizma8175 , Well, I don't produce furniture without a technical drawing. It's not a matter of inability; it's a matter of rigor. It's about having a complete piece of furniture in every aspect: design, 3D modeling and manufacturing, which allows anyone in their respective role to understand it or produce it. This also allows for better utilization of materials, time and money management within the established workflow listed step by step, and improved budgeting. This way, you minimize errors and safeguard material parts for potential corrections in all situations marked as critical during the construction phase. Then, you start doing the opposite and create your technical drawing through reverse engineering, considering how it's made, the final product, and deconstructing joints to verify the feasibility of your sketch idea.

@ChrisHornberger 15 дней назад

Yeah, get over it. You're far more than "an average woodworker". I've learned a lot from you, and I've been doing this - hobbyist, pro, then hobby again, then pro again (meaning, I'm getting for-real paid for the work) - for about 45 years off and on. I've got ~200 cabins, 1 house, dozens of refurbs, about 200 sets of bunk beds, and just in the last year or so, about 50 customer projects. So... hush up about beating yourself up. You're precise, you're patient, you're very attentive and instructive, etc. That's who you are to be teaching people. :)

I've been a hobbyist woodworker for about 30 years and I've come to realize that the only REAL reason I do it is to come to terms with the radical acceptance necessary in a world that is never perfect. It forces me to slow down, accept, and see beauty - usually even more so when things go 'wrong'. I love how you always highlight that and lean into it. Also, you are not average. Not in any sense of the word. Accept it - I'm a therapist, I know these things. :)

Maybe because you've used a bunch of techniques that "normal people" could do but bought them all together in a lovely end product. There's no part of that build I thought "omg. I could never do that in my small shop". Really great. I also laughed at the olive garden thing... Genius.

Love the cometary on the fix and people not noticing. I’m the person that will examine and maybe find it. Assuming that’s whay I watch… anyways. I grew up in a house made with furniture by an amazing woodworker. He was a friend of the family and would give decent prices to my family who were the type to buy fancy things. I even ended up spending time with him in the shop when I was really too young to do anything, but I just absorbed so much, like a sponge. And Let Me Tell You!!! He had mistakes all over the place, but he was amazing at fixing them. They either were magically invisible or would become charming details. When I learned this I would start examining the family pieces from him even more and finding the mistakes that no one in my family saw. It was like a treasure hunt and everyone I found made me love the furniture more. He is long passed now and every one of those little scars makes me remember him as him and not the furniture. If I was to pick one from my parents house, I would probably look for one of the ones with the most fixes, because at the end of the day, the woodworking, design and actual wood in these pieces are all just amazing, but the flawed ones just have a little human element from the hands who made them. RIP Dave.

@BrooksMoses 15 дней назад

I've heard it said that one of the reasons in-person woodworking classes are more useful than watching videos is that through the process of the class there will be lots of mistakes made, and then everyone gets to learn from the teacher showing how to fix those mistakes. I think that means that as a RU-vid woodworker, you need to make more than the usual number of mistakes to make up for not having live students, (Seriously, though, thank you for sharing the mistakes, and the mistakes-upon-mistakes, and the fixes.)

@dansouth1973 15 дней назад

This isn't meant to be a direct accusation, but how many "live edge with epoxy" projects are YT makers going to put out? They're EVERYWHERE and getting rather tired TBH.

@Foureyes.Furniture 15 дней назад

There are a lot...but that's like saying there are a lot of builds using just a board. When I use slabs, I think I do a good job of being creative and original with my designs. It' snot like I'm just dumping epoxy in a slab and slapping on some hairpin legs every month.

@xenidus 15 дней назад

Yeah... It's some boring stuff. "We built a form. We got it this time,not gonna be any leaks. Oh no we have leak! Now watch me plane sand and sand and buff the epoxy for ten minutes of the video." Much rather see smaller non epoxy based projects. Four eyes does a better job than most, but after the "we're making epoxy slab videos deal with it" video I definitely started watching the channel significantly less. I watched this whole one though cause it was great!

@LowkeyLoki16 12 дней назад

i actually really like seeing your mistakes, i honestly think it makes you more than an average woodworker :) both because of the old "what not to do" but also mistakes and narration like you give are useful to learning how this all works because we get to see your thought process, how the mistakes happen, and either how to correct them, or when, like with the live edge direction screw up, the mistake means just making a new part the right way. i like seeing how people learn from themselves, because i learn from people learning. it's more, visible and tangible if that makes sense, and i always feel like i learn more like that. seeing small fixes in the finished product, only because you know the fix is there, shows how it's done right and you give me a lot of ideas for making the things i want to make, even if i never sell them or want to start a business, because i simply enjoy concepting and saving things to make for myself in the future

@Foureyes.Furniture 12 дней назад

I appreciate that. It's funny because 90% of the mistakes seem to be situations where you know what to do, and 99% of the time you do it right...it's just this time you didn't. Like cutting the shelf short. It's actually pretty rare that mistakes like the stained end grain come about...where, I literally didn't know I was making a mistake until the dust settled. I really like including those in the videos as notes to myself for the future. I figure if I edit an entire chunk of video about that...I'm (hopefully) more likely to think about it next time.

It's tremendously reassuring to know that a professional with years of experience still makes the same measuring/cutting mistakes I make as a student. In my woodworking classes and during my internships in woodshops I've been surrounded by people who don't make these specific mistakes, or very rarely, and I've been feeling down as my final year nears its end because I felt like I didn't have "the brain" for the craft. Genuinely thought I was an idiot at times. I'm constantly cutting things too short and if I don't plan out every single step the whole project's a mess, same as you. Watching you f*ck up the exact same way I know I would has comforted me so much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this video.

Chris, you're not a fraud, that's your learning and doing process. I asked the question of Charles Neil about types of wood in the build and he told me the value of the piece increases using the same labor by using more interesting wood! I taught anger management and I was my best pupil. Finally realized the accidents in my work are my next steps in design. Like cutting the bottom of a precious wood heritage box I was making for a patron. Turned out better after I calmed myself and engaged brain. "Murphy Design!" The last thing about your "Fix!" Damn you're good!" Other people will see the finished piece through their eyes and I've had this many times. Thanks for discussing your process in creating.

I love the rounded edges, the thought, design of it all and especially the “errors” which in my opinion are gold because we get to see you brainstorm and come up with solutions which in turn at least I look back on in my own builds which pale in comparison but never the less! I look forward to hearing more about your hard wax oil, the bit I enjoyed the most oddly enough was your finger pulls. I’m not completely done with my bath vanity I made out of solid hickory minus the plywood bottom and back but everything else is solid hickory. I took inspiration from a vanity piece Shara did that is mid mod and anyways she incorporated large recessed hand pulls into her drawers in a mid mod way. Now she used a jig saw and then a template to completely cut out a hole which later became a problem because you could see inside to her drawer box. I want to do something similar but without cutting clear through and really your finger pull showed me I can. Mine will be more oblong, my like hers but I want the it to stop before piercing through like you did yours and I saw the bit you used for the finger grip and basically that’s exactly what I want so anyways long story but your work is very helpful, always has been and I appreciate it. I love integrated hand pulls rather than putting hardware on, just looks stunning and simple yet ik is complex to do

Hey Chris. Just like Shawn, i think you should feel comfortable making what you love, not what you think might please the audience. Obviously some will be clicking the video because of the stunning thumbnail of a beautiful piece of furniture, but i believe that at least three quarters of us (the audience), watch the videos because of you, not your project. Left is the last quater, and that will most likely be determined by your thumbnail, which will probably atill look beautiful, no matter the projevt you decide making. Every video you put out is much appreciated, and I love watchkng your contwnt, and has been enjoying for many years now. Thanks for sharing, and stay safe 👌⭐

Beautiful piece!... And, for the record, I love the understated look of this piece!

I so appreciate the willingness to fix the small details that bug you. Nicely done sir. Looking forward to the new finish...though Im still rocking some Simple Finish of yours but will be very curious to see the next generation of what you make. I get the nature of being particular about finishes which is why I tired yours in the first place. Im on the list, thanks for the work you're putting out there. Its encouraging, educational, and very cool work.

I think I like this furniture piece the most.

@stuarthill3899 14 дней назад

Loved the 3 "details". As a previous design technology teacher, one of the most important skills a teacher needed was being able to fix student mistakes! 😃

You are absolutely above average at creative design. This is another example. Great idea and execution.

@JoshuaFortuna 13 дней назад

call me boring…but this is one of my favorite pieces you’ve built/designed. i’ve also been pretty tired of the slab + epoxy processes taking over YT, so it’s really nice to see it done in a nuanced way. great work. these videos have not helped my woodworking, but have helped my creative process and mental state. thank you so much.

@Foureyes.Furniture 13 дней назад

I'll take good mental state over good woodworking any day :)

Great piece! I appreciate the delineation between focus and detail, something I’d never really thought about. Keep being amazing out there!!!

@Iionios 15 дней назад

The best tip I ever learned for woodworking was that you should always add a centimeter/inch (whichever measuring unit you use) to the end of the math for any pieces that go inside other pieces. That way, even if it's the wrong size, you won't have buggered the tongue/dovetail/lap/butt/tenon/etc. It means I do more cutting, but it also means that when I inevitably make a mistake, I can correct. I think that's what separates the master woodworkers from the rest of us journeymen, they know how to make mistakes that can be easily corrected. Because they make just as many mistakes.

I haven't gotten around to watching this video yet but every time it pops up on my feed it has a different title.

@dennisrogers1387 15 дней назад

I agree with the analogy of hand stuff under the table... lol love your channel.

@Foureyes.Furniture 15 дней назад

It's a ridiculous analogy...but it's also kinda accurate

@JoeSpring 13 дней назад

Thanks Chris, for me this is a more accessible project for my skill level, so I feel it's a greater practical service than your other videos, where it's just awe and enjoyment :)

@61sabres 14 дней назад

Add well above average video editor/content creator to that list of strengths. I like that you show mistakes, make it comical for us (despite it probably being infuriating for you), and show how you fix it. That last bit is where I learn the most! Thanks for another good and helpful video!

@stephendickinson9929 15 дней назад

Thanks. I always enjoy your projects and videos. Both are well done.

@jennynations04 15 дней назад

I love that you are not dramatic in any way - haha. Really, I do love the feel of your videos. You are an excellent craftsman - design and execution. This cabinet is beautiful, warts and all. And nobody would've noticed the fixes had you not told us. The power of video and editing at its best. I will give this project a thumbs up for a job well done. 👍

@ElBeeEss 13 дней назад

Ahhhh, this was sooo good! I know I've made a similar comment on a previous video of yours, but you're such a standout creator! I'm not even a woodworker, just a woman who stumbled upon one of your videos when searching for I don't even remember what, and I watched it start to finish and subscribed. I LOVE everything about your channel. You have so much going on: your craftsmanship, which is really interesting and relaxing to watch; your sense of humour (whodathunkit, furniture-making with lots of laughs along the way?!), your videography; and, of course, your design aesthetic. Sublime stuff. If I didn't already have a gazillion things on my list that I want to learn before I die, I'd be looking out for a woodworking workshop to rent! Thank you for the good vibes you put out into the world x

@Rossco242424 15 дней назад

Your videos have always been exceptional, and it's been really fun and interesting to see how your writing and storytelling have evolved over the years. Your content never feels stale, it's consistently fresh, genuine and unpredictable. As prolific as you are, that's really impressive to me. And inspiring! Thanks as always.

I have a Brass Chunky and I love it. I am tempted to get a second one and have one loaded up with black lead, and one loaded up with white lead so I can have one for whatever lightness/darkness of wood. Thank being said, I hop back and forth between hobbies and I need to stew on the idea and justify the luxury of having two Brass Chunky.
