The Most Frequently Asked Question I'm Getting on this video is: *@**24:21** Why didn't you just flatten the entire top of the side panels on the CNC. Here is my response:* Two main reasons: 1. I was worried that if something went wrong...it would go VERY wrong VERY quickly. Doing it this way, if it didn't work out it would be much easier to salvage. 2. My sides were off, but perfectly symmetrical. Using the CNC to flatten it, it would be very difficult to ensure they have the exact same amount removed because of the way I had to hold it in position. If I could have thrown the whole thing up on the bed of the CNC that would work...but how I was doing it on the pallet stacker thing...would not be nearly as accurate. Trust me...the floor of my shop is far from flat and level. Doing it this way I could zero out the bit before I cut each plate recess. So even if the way I was holding it caused one end to be 2" higher than the other (that's an exaggeration,) the process would still work. *Couldn't you have made the curved fronts by running them sideways across a tablesaw blade instead of using the CNC? Using the circular shape of the blade to make the curve.* You could do something similar. For anybody not familiar what they are talking about is called a "Cove Cut" on a table saw. Doing that you're limited to the radius of your blade which is 10" (I think) on a table saw. I did the math and to make these particular arcs, in the drawer front you'd need a blade with something like a 29 foot diameter.

I agree. I know some people really enjoy the maker videos with absolutely no talking, but I'm the opposite. I love hearing what their intent was, how they planned to achieve that, the frequent cases of what went wrong and how they compensated for those unexpected challenges, the inner thought process of working through the build, and the just overall knowledge imparted during the course of the video. And I'm not a maker myself; most of the maker content that I watch is something that I'll 100% guaranteed never actually try myself. But I don't care that the knowledge gained has no personal use for me; I enjoy learning the details solely for the sake of learning itself alone. It might be truly irrelevant to me and my life, but I vehemently disagree with the concept of any form of knowledge being worthless.

This guy's editing has gotten really good. There's just some really clever work done here. The flow, the timing, the unexpected moments that work... really well done. Nice build too.

Thank. you...appreciate that. Honestly, it's one of the more unique parts of each build. So I'm always happy to include them.

I LOVE what you did with the top, that river like curve and the transition it makes is eye candy. Also thanks for showing when you messed up and how you fix it, or sometimes more importantly how it led you to something better.

My biggest problem with woodworking and imposter syndrome is having learned on KZread. The HOURS you stand there just looking and analyzing. Working through a solution in every way to ensure the part both fits, looks good, and doesn't get in the way of the order of operations. Everyone on KZread just "instantly" has the answer. Thank you for highlighting the 2 hours of standing there just to perform a 52 second operation. Hrmm... Story of our lives, am I right guys? HAHAHA But yes, keep up the excellent work sir!

It's a huge part of building. Many times I just set something down for the day, and think about it while I go on my nightly walks, etc... Some people prefer the "make one cut then figure out the next" method. I like to think about the next few steps, then start making cuts. Most of the time.

About 5 minutes ago, I was saying to my wife how I know conceptually how to install some wires and posts for a vine to grow along and to support pear tree branches. I already have bits and pieces of brackets that I could use to do the job now. But... I'll need to stare at it and meditate on it and pretty much pray for how to do it with elegance so it enhances what we see as we look out of our window and what people see as they walk past it. So far, we have succeeded with our house so that people who come to visit and people walking past feel uplifted by the form and function, stop to chat, and build connections. These videos are an example of that intention

Its so maddening, and utterly glorious when someone who knows little to nothing about our craft can bring such stunning simplicity to it. Usually because they know nothing about it.

You and Shaun have both done a couple of pieces with this style and I really enjoy seeing the harmony of the natural slab and the man made white oak panel.

An awesome piece and like many have said I truly appreciate including all of the struggles and lessons learned, as a new woodworker they’re invaluable to me seeing what challenges I’ll run into!

I have never worked with wood but love watching your videos. I am an artist and aspiring tattoo artist and love to watch people improve at their craft! I have been forcing myself to create art every day and as painful as that can be sometimes, the outcome is so worth it. With each piece I am more confident and learn something new. Thank you for inspiring people to push themselves creatively. :)

I am really excited about this piece. I hope you make a project/course on this. No CNC but I can see some options for accomplishing something like this. Anyway, love your channel, your comments, conversations and jokes. I am always checking to see if you have a new video out and it's a happy day when you do. Thanks for doing what you do.

One thing I think I may have tried to do if I were to build this top. Would have to been to leave a bit more of the lighter wood on the walnut to allow a more gradual blend of the two different type of wood. I looks nice the way to did the top but something to maybe think about if you try something like this top build again.

I just want to thank you for your videos. You made me starting to learn wood working and making my own furniture. I'm in Europe so everything is different here for materials and tools but your knowledge is always relevant, so thank you again!

Cannot wait to see the dining table and how theae two pieces tie in together. Pairing the two woods that way was a masterstroke. That top is a stunner!

It always amazes me that there's a section of KZread commenters that believe that any use of a CNC or epoxy isn't "real woodworking." They make it sound like epoxy and CNCs are basically cheats that make the build super simple and require no skill. I don't get that at all because they pretty clearly just don't make it simple in the slightest. It might require a different set of skills than using solely hand tools, but mastering resin or how to fully leverage a CNC are 1000% skill based... there's just so many ways things can go wrong, and it requires great skill to make the machine do what you actually want it to do or have the resin give the desired appearance.

I really like the way you communicate every feeling and emotion in a normal smooth tone especially, when someone like me who gets frustrated very quickly.

I don't know how to put it in words, but this is so intimate. Maybe it's because you're sharing your thought process from start to finish. Maybe it's because of that ending couple of sentences. You're sharing a piece of yourself with each one of those videos. Thank you. Seriously, thank you. PS: I come from programming and will probably never make my own piece of furniture, but it is mesmerizing to watch how similar wood working is to programming. Your wife even helped with some 'rubber duck debugging'. :) And you're more than right about pushing yourself to learn new things. I really appreciate the effort you put into your craft and these videos. Keep it up!

Amazing build. It's great to have clients like Scott. Highlighting the seam is a real pro move. All about the reveals. Curious why you don't ever use a biscuit joiner. I think I know the answer, you have a domino and are comfortable with it, but I own both and the only time I don't reach for the biscuit joiner is when it won't do the job. It's faster and cheaper both in terms of the tool itself and consumables and the side to side slop of a biscuit mortise is really handy when you only care about alignment in one direction.

So shipping could be done through a third party, though it would not be free. What the legal/tax/accounting implications that might have for Rockler is for the specialist to figure out.

You may have been able to use a pivot/tilt drawer hinge (side mount) for drawer fronts.

It's an interesting marker for types of people. Now retired. My last job was part of a small team of like-minded folk who had to be creative both in developing data mining applications for incoherent, badly managed, complex social care data systems, and in how we related with system users and senior management. The four of us were best in country with other local authorities in awe of what we achieved. What astonished us constantly was how so very few other people in the large organisation had any interest in their work or how they did it. Almost nobody under 40 thought about what they did, cared, or was capable of imagining anything different from pressing buttons, printing charts, with no analysis, diagnosis, cross-theme correlations, etc. These videos represent in woodwork what we did in data interrogation. No AI could do it. Maybe the fine furniture making I did in my teens around 1970 helped shape my mind for later jobs.

As I was watching this and you talked about always pushing yourself just past what you think you can do, something an old mentor used to say to me kept coming to mind: “You can only learn what you almost know”

That is a great looking project! That epoxy line really highlights where the oak and walnut come together. Impressive as always.

the muscle car analogy was beautiful. it translates to so many other things. well done, as usual. ... just did my first epoxy project (10' counter top slab) and it was a doosey. i now have much more respect for epoxy than i originally did

Dude…I’m not even sure how I came across your channel, and never have I ever wanted to or cared about woodworking, but this video makes me want to try it! Fantastic job…love the curve in the top. I wouldn’t even know where to begin and how do you guys find the time to learn sketchup and adobe AND make a living? I’ve been in IT for nearly 30 years and I don’t know how to use sketchup and don’t have the time to learn! I have great respect for anyone who can do this, design it, film it and make the video entertaining. Great job!

Magnificent craftsmanship - in the shop & the delivery.

Absolutely stunning piece. The client should be very, very pleased.

Love the two tone top. The curve is very different. Nice work!

Absolutely stunning! It couldn't be better

I think it looks absolutely stunning and beautiful. I might take on the challenge and try something like actually doing some sort of woodworking, or continue watching and fall asleep afterwards! Thank you for your work.

Thanks! I'd say get some rest...then when you're feeling good, try your hand at the challenge :)

Great work! I’ve always loved woodworking for at least 2 things: 1. You can’t screw up) there is always a way forward) 2. You can get to the same result by so many different ways/tools and techniques. Btw i had a project where i used the same technique for the top but i had 2 almost identical y-shaped slabs and i spited one in two halves and added them from the sides to the second slab making it wider. But i didn’t have a cnc)
