I personally think you can never repeat yourself enough when it comes to the detailed, technical side of woodworking. It's more beneficial as a teaching aid when things are explained. Even if it's something someone already knows or seems common sense, hearing it repeated to solidify the knowledge is never a bad thing.

Thanks you for that. It's good to hear because Shaun and I definitely are prone to repeating ourselves. So I thank you for that. Woodworking is repetitive by nature, but I'll make sure I keep mentioning what I'm doing in a general sense, so that new viewers aren't lost. And for the really in depth stuff, if it isn't specific to a project, we'll make those more detailed videos that focus on a particular aspect. Appreciate the feedback and the kind words...And very happy to hear that people are ok with Shaun and I repeating ourselves as it's something we're prone to do...A fact that is only exacerbated due to the repetitive nature of woodworking. I thank you for that.

The author does like to kzread.infoUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don't have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won't be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

The open center would make that an amazing conference room table. install a power strip and a pair of 16-port switches to the underside facing the center, and the center is a perfect place for cables from guest devices to drop out of sight.

I agree, a neat solution.

Personally I like the open look, but if I was going to add glass I would do the river look. There is a nice band of lighter wood along the edges that would provide a natural template for the glass. Also, just another thought, but for the metal joining plates I think it would be nice to engrave the numbers into the plates and in the wood for anyone assembling the table, just looks more inline with this price point of table than labelling with pen. Just my 2 cents though.

If I was going to add glass I think I would just want a shallow recess so a single piece of tempered glass fit all the way down the length with an even surface height. The Sort of Null-river effect is nice, the glass would be mostly to ensure the safety of placing things in the middle of the table when in active use.

Honestly, for me the channels I keep coming back to are the ones that explain what’s going on during a montage. Whether it’s restoration videos, carpet cleaning videos, law care videos, or your videos, having someone there talking you though what’s happening is much more engaging than just music.

I loooove the empty middle it's so unique and while it may pose a few challenges the table still performs its primary function very well. Beautiful table.

I personally like the full length videos. You dont need to explain every aspect of every step, but rather the more complex steps. I like to know how you came up with the solution, so i can use it in my woodworking. I get a lot by just watching you do it. With that being said, I hate the receptiveness of cutting 10 pieces that are all the same. Fast forwarding through that stuff, or skipping it all together is fine. I also enjoy the comedic banter and artistic filming techniques.

Long term viewer here: I'm not about to skip any part of your videos and risk missing any bits of your fantastic humoristic commentary. :)

I bought this as a gift for my friend kzread.infoUgkxcZqgZ8Ynkiz5n_LxIWRlAicuzmz5kCHG who is just starting out in the world of wood work. He loves it!! There is a great section on different wood and what to use for what kind of job and a similar section for tools as well. The projects in it are things you probably would have a go at with clear instructions, pictures, videos and diagrams throughout. Great for a beginner/amateur wood worker.

Little John really knows how to do his job. Made me want to go buy a big slab of wood and learn about it and make a table

A neighbor made a table out of 2 long slabs similar to yours and left the center open. I thought it was a brilliant idea especially because he used 2 z shaped pieces on each base and the table could easily be moved to the sides if he wanted buffet style serving for larger gatherings or one for seating. The finish was similar to yours and looked great with the separation.

Thank you so much for taking the time to design a base for your table. Often enough I see other woodworkers slap some steel legs and call it a day. I believe when designing a piece of furniture it is fundamental to think about the piece as a whole. You guys really did a superb job on this one and I personally love it the way that it is. I hope your buyer does too. As far as your concerns go about your vids, I find them entertaining and I am not bothered by the "repetitiveness". Id rather see the full process (and for those who don't want to see it - skipping ahead on the video is pretty easy)

The open table is very imaginative. I really like it that way. The idea of allowing the buyer to choose is great.

Re: the video design, your how-to videos give you the freedom to design around something like "now we're making the panels and stretchers; here is a link to a video about that, and here's what's different about that process in this video."

I really enjoy watching “creation, crafty, how to, diy” types of videos like yours! Besides vicariously sharing a satisfying accomplishment feeling, I enjoy hearing lot of the tips shared, some might be useful in future! I especially enjoy your humor and wit! Your narrative style is very friendly and soothing, not intimidating or pretentious like some others I’ve watched. Great work on the final table! Thanks for bringing us along on your adventures.

I love watching your woodworking videos so much. I'm not a woodworker myself, but there's something almost meditative about hearing/watching what you're doing and why. I like hearing technical details to the extent that I understand them, and even rationale why, but I personally won't be going to implement these things myself. But honestly, I'll probably like whatever format you go with.

Glad there was no circle glass in the middle. I really like leaving the middle open, If anyone had a problem with it or needed to set something in the middle you could certainly find some sort of nice tray to bridge that gap that wouldn't take away from the table design too much. I do find it interesting how many people have mentioned getting on a second coat of a product called Monocoat lol, I have had areas of projects where it soaks in a little more and I needed to add but I have never done a second coat because it doesn't stick to itself, But there is a maintenance oil or something like that that can add a little more sheen if that is what someone is after. I tend to really prefer the matte finish. And I have used it on non-flat non-large surfaces, it's not terrible but it's also not as easy as some other finishes that's for sure. Usually I rub it in with a small square of a white scotch brite And it works out pretty well.

@joewilson4436

Жыл бұрын

It depends on the wood species, for instance, Rubio recommends two coats for open grained woods like walnut or red oak. For something with tight, closed grain like maple, 1 coat is generally enough. Though I have done two coats on maple if there is any uneveness - for instance curly maple can suck up finish unpredictably - or sometimes I fail to apply it as evenly as I should - two coats always looks better than one coat in my experience even if not expressly needed. I think it's important to realize that monocoat was developed as a floor finish and a second coat can be really expensive over a large area and uncessariy given how flooring is generally viewed. But for fine furniture a second coat can be worth it. Especially for woods like walnut where you can build a much nicer finish. One thing I like to do for walnut is wait a day, sand with ~1200 grit until the pores are filled with dust, then apply a second coat, this works as a psudeo-pore filler and makes walnut look and feel a lot better than just a single coat. Also, sanding to higher than the 120 grit recomendation is a good idea for furniture. 120 is fine for floor but 220 will look and feel a lot better and I know some people go much higher.

Here is my take on the center of the table: I love the way it looks "open". But it might make it less practical as a table. So, I'd go for a piece of glass in the center BUT not a straight one. That would conflict with the flow, the natural look of the curves. So, having a piece of glass cut to roughly match the space between the slab would make the table more functional while keeping it "natural". (Oh and I personally love the explanations, it's a great chance to learn more things. And if I didn't like it, I could just turn the sound off and put my own music in the back! 😆)

Guys, I love this table. Turned out fantastic. I personally love the open middle. I did a coffee table like this and my customer loved it. They eventually want a dining table, but I was injured and can't build anymore. I'll send them the video to see if they might be in the market right now.

I have to say, I love it in its original design. It retains it’s natural design elements while the stand portion subtly gives it a more modern feel without taking anything away from the slabs. If I needed a table of this size, I’d gladly buy it. Thank you for your efforts making the video! It’s appreciated!

Thanks again for sharing ❣️ I would have to say if I bought this table, I would prefer a nice epoxy down the center. It just gives more usual surface to the dining table and I would not want anything to accidentally fall through the middle. Also, I enjoy the tutorial content in woodworking videos. It gives me confidence that I could actually do something similar. 💯😎

You asked for lots of opinions so here goes: But first, I love this build and your videos. 1. I prefer detail build videos with your explanations of not only what you are doing but what other options you considered and why you chose what you did. 2. I think I preferred the second fiverr rendering. It showed the table in a room without distraction of room decorations. 3. Regarding empty top fill, If using as a conference table in an attorney’s office I like it left empty for that. If dining table I think a glass fill in similar curvy shape of the open table . Keep up the great work guys.

Sometimes you run across a video for entertainment and find it more motivating. I have been in a bit of a “building funk” because of a move. You motivated me to build stuff again that makes me happy! Thank you!

Foureyes Furniture, it's never annoying, it's ALWAYS great to hear you guys walking us through the making of the project. For me, the technical the better.... eventhoug I see ALL YOUR VIDEOS, since a long time. Repeate it! it never gets old!!! Love the videos, good job guys.

I always love to see the technical side from anyone I watch/talk to. I learn so many different ways to approach the same problem. So your panel tips video is a nod in the right direction. I need to go search but a milling video would be great too. Then always mention those videos, throw a link in the description and pinned comment, give us a nice 8x speed montage of your toil and torture, and then we've covered all the bases.

I love the open center table idea. My wife wants a slab table and I've been struggling with how to deal with the large voids without making it a river table. This looks amazing and gave me faith that the natural approach can work for high end furniture.

I like the glass idea especially for shining light from below (small canister) or many other smaller (holiday)lights. I think we often forget about light and on a piece or art like this I think it needs to be part of the solution. Love what you do!

Just wanted to say I just stumbled on to your feed and I really enjoy how you talk about the process and showing that you make changes when you feel it would look better. etc.

I really like the details on each step. This channel was what inspired me to get into woodworking because you make really cool stuff but show enough detail on how it’s done that it clicked with me on how it’s actually achievable and not just magic. I really like when you show specific stuff you do with jigs and templates.

Hey Adam… really appreciate the kind words. Thanks man.

Re: Rubio Monocoat - I use this on almost everything indoor furniture. I’ve tried Osmo Polyx and like it, but I just prefer being able to only apply one coat. That said, I’m a hobby woodworker and don’t have a spray gun. So what I’m saying is that time spent finishing is not a big deal because I’m not trying to bang out a bunch of projects for clients, and therefore the somewhat tediousness of rubbing Rubio with a white 3M pad into small angular spaces is not something I mind doing. Also, what I build is for myself, friends, and family so if ever the single coat failed, I could easily add another. Great build video. I’d prefer you left out the verbose explanation of every milling step, for the reasons you highlighted. However, I like explanations of problem solving, design choices, and unique jiggery.

My go-to finish is Bartley gel varnish. Easy to apply, great low gloss finish. Never done anything this big, but used it on a 3'x6' desk and it's fab.

I loved the video - the pace and content was perfect! If I was able to buy this museum quality table, I think I would try to find a thick, shatterproof, large piece of glass formed and ground along the edges (maybe with small pads for separation and grip) to match the outline of the entire table top. This would leave the beauty of the table intact while preventing the inevitable drinking-glass-falling-through-the-middle mini catastrophes. Great work and thanks so much for sharing your artistry and skills!

i love how thoughtful you are about your viewers and what they prefer watching, personally i love everything about your editing and voice overs, i think y'all are doing a great job! ❤

"every issue of spiderman is someone's first issue of spiderman" is actually one of the trickier aspects of serial content and I respect that y'all are trying to craft your approach to it! I think with woodworking people get a really decent sense of operations (jointing, ripping, planing, glue-ups) after a video or four, and watching those operations in high speed with a voiceover acknowledging what's happening works swell. what can spice those up is some discussion of the problem-solving that goes into doing that particular operation with that particular piece of wood for that particular project, and I think you guys cover this pretty well (eg noting that something won't be visible in the final project so you're not doing it a certain way.) if there isn't something specific, using the time to insert whatever tip will fit in the space (jointing opposing faces so that your 89.7 degree fence issue comes out in the wash) means you can link to both the video with that tip and your tips and tricks videos if folks are new and want more of that. (do people click through to linked videos? I suspect the rate is quite low but I am not a producer of this kind of stuff.) all of that said I think you handle the balance well, your editing and pacing is great, and I do not tend to do the "OK i know what's happening here, let me use the thumbnail to find the end of this step" thing on your videos all that often.

I think you usually have a pretty good split between the intricacies of design decisions, overcoming build challenges, and the monotony of milling boards. A couple shots of the milling/joining are nice because it's a part of the process.

I am so happy to see someone considering the issue of moving around the furniture. I worked for an interior design studio and the biggest issues of installation was the size and weight of the furniture. We had custom made luxury pieces that just,, could not fit through doors or up staircases or even in an elevator. Modular design doesn't seem important until you have to carry a giant couch up 17 flights of stairs because it cannot fit in an elevator.

I think leaving the middle open not only brings a uniqueness to the table but to me its so much more natural...I love it!

I’m a fan of this style! I’ve been wanting to do open end live edge on some table bases because I like the aesthetic but this is actually really good right up the middle like that. Might be cool to offer a removable insert that is incognito but cut to fit into the center like a puzzle piece.

I love your show because you not only build things but you speak about your thoughts during building and that is the real intresting part for me plus watching the wonderful visual of your making. LOVE IT. Also I love the way you demonstrate your design options by drowing them to us. LOVE IT! (sorry for english mistakes, it is not my first language).

This piece is my fav. The lighter edges just really pop. And I love the natural contours. If I had room for a 10” table, I would be awfully tempted.

An idea for the center might be to have something that bridges the two sides for serving and can be removed for day to day display.

I think you guys do a great job of being detailed without being boring, especially on repetitive stuff. One thing I would be interested in seeing is occasional time stamps. Like how long the project has taken you to certain points. My stuff takes forever because I only have a couple evening hours to work on things, but it would be cool to know how long it takes pros.

I absolutely love the idea of the open centre. I would literally leave it as it is now and do nothing to the centre. I also love the detailed nature of your build video's. I may know how you do things from previous videos but still very much enjoy watching you do it again

Your voiceover is one of the best bits of the videos, from the explanations, the humour and then the silences. I like this channel more than other woodworking channels, just from the approach of the voiceover - it kind of brings you into the project more. :)

The combination great shots, the educational value and, last but not least, the humour has made me subscribe. I am considering woodwork as a hobby and I will definetly support you on patreon if I do. Well done!!

I love the two slabs functioning as one table top! By far the best option I think. What a beautiful finished product! It simply accentuates it being wood, from a tree you can still recognize in its final shape. And it would be a perfect conference room table with natural space for cables etc. if IT tech is needed and a soothing impact when you are in a discussion with a large group, because, who gets angry when in nature, right? Simply stunning...

I just recently came across your channel and I love it. Keep doing what you're doing. I don't yet have something specific that I love about your videos, but your voice is so calming and relaxing. I find it fascinating watching the whole process. I love hearing your explanation. I love seeing how the tools work. I love hearing your humour. Sometimes it sounds like you doubt yourself, but don't. You are very talented. I love watching your videos. I could spend all day watching them. 😃

Wow I absolutely adore this table. Simply perfect. I love the black base and the fact that you didn't epoxy river it

I like it with the middle section clear more! It is something unique and different, instead of the usual epoxy style or glass style, that is "boring", but yours is a new approach not the usual/ordinary style you see everywhere. I like it very much! And I think it was the right choice you guys made!

I think it's fine without anything in the middle - the size that it is, it would probably work a lot better as a conference table (especially for some company that can make a "board room table" joke about it) than a dinner table. And honestly to me the $75 dollar render is the most useful since it is a nice 3/4 or isometric or whatever you want to call it view.

You should keep doing the same work as usual, if it became repetitive for me, a long time viewer, i'll just skip those seconds and keep watching until the end of the video, but maybe a new viewer feels like something is missing, some explanation... It never cease to amaze me what an awesome job both of you always do, every new project simply blows my mind!

I've recently started watching your videos. I watch a handful of other channels pretty regularly. I really enjoy your humor and explanations of how and why you use the techniques that you use. I ruin perfectly good wood as a hobby and watching you has spurred me to buy a couple small slabs of hackberry to work with. I'm going to combine epoxy and a metal frame/legs to attempt to build a coffee table and a pair of matching end tables. Both are far outside of my experience level and comfort zone. Your idea of using the left over epoxy from your pours gave me the idea to buy silicone coaster molds to fill with my leftovers. Thank you for these videos and don't change a thing.

Oh boy! Stunning work. Leaving it open for the customer to decide, was a smart decision. That way he or she wouldn't be conditioned to your choice. Giving the customer that freedom; gives them the power of participation and personal touch. Kudos!

Re: Level of detail explained/filmed You are totally right it's a fine line to balance, but I have seen it taken too far by some creators. So instead of filming large parts of the process they just said, "and the I did X and Y and now this", basically they yadda-yadda-yadda over most of it and while it can be repetitive it's still a visual medium. My advice is mentioning and linking to your in-depth videos for the repetitive things, then using the footage as B-roll explaining the reasoning behind the choices being made. ...which is kinda what you're doing. So what I am saying. Keep it up! 👍

I love it open in the center. A unique touch that you rarely see. Great design. If it were my table, I'd just use large butcher block serving trays when doing a large dinner party, so food could still rest over the middle portion, and there's still loads of room for plates and such.

1/4" plate glass: rad, 1/4" polished brass : cool, 1/4" teak: nice. having a flowing custom inset piece allows for easier shipping and handling of smaller pieces, over locking the slab together with epoxy into one massive piece.

Beautiful! Even though it might not be that practical, i like the middle open. Did you ever consider routing a channel in both pieces in the middle and floating a piece of glass in between them like a panel in a door? Also, for some reason i really like the semi circles in the legs. Makes the whole piece more proportioned.

I like the option that leaving it open gives you. I think that it would make a great wire management option for a duel desk set up especially now that so many people are working from home.

Wonderful combination of natural and man-made materials. The minimalist table design is crisp and elegant. As a customer, I'd want a semi-clear epoxy center, so you can see through it, but no worries about things getting knocked off accidentally.

You guys are incredible woodworking artists! Great sense of humor too! First time seeing your work. Thanks so much for sharing! Very cool! The renders are pretty amazing. All have positives. For the epoxy, I would prefer a river pour in the middle. Could be a neutral color but would prefer over a circle inlay. But everyone has different taste. You guys do beautiful work!

In a world filled with epoxy river tables, having two separate slabs fixed in place is.. refreshing. PS, Rubio monocoat is nice but you should try out a chemical stain sometime to add more color variation

that table is soooo beautiful. the lighter wood along the edges make it look so much better, and they are 2 extremely beautiful slabs

It would look better with smoked class if you used it in my opinion. But the table looks absolutely fantastic and one of the best dining room tables I've seen, and I'm an epoxy style lover. So unique.

As a non-woodworker, I like watching your videos because they are relaxing and you make cool stuff. I love the videos the way you do them now, and personally would not be a fan of them changing to be more technical since that could distract from the chill nature of your videos!

I think all three renderings looked really good! I think you should make the glass piece into a lazy Susan if a person so chooses.

So beautiful! Especially the wooden top! I wish I can someday order custom furniture that are one of a kind, made from natural materials!

For being the first video I've watched of you guys, I felt you portrayed a genuine narrative and pretty thorough (as you said you've made videos going into deeper detail). Didn't feel like you tried to put on a KZread persona, obviously not a lengthy subscriber as I said but because of the way you bring yourself across and even the amount of detail you go into is enough to go with what's happening and keeps us, the viewers right along like we're part of the build. Good shit!

"...so we decided to use cocaine-laced rags instead..." 💀

It's all we could get our hands on :)

I appreciate you leaving the "oops" in the finished video. Shows that mistakes happen, and your solutions are helpful in the thinking process.

I'm a total beginner and I love your channel. Your table tops are great and all but you guys make the coolest bases I've seen. Absolutely love them! Maybe someday I'll have the skills to do something similar

Appreciate it John. We definitely focus a lot of the work on a base that goes well with the top

to answer your question about how I prefer to watch. I like BOTH styles. I like the detail oriented video that teaches and then I also like the ones like this that skim over details (mention them) but really stick to the build process. I hate when people try to do both in one video. I specifically was interested in this video for a second time as I recall you mentioned a 'trick' for using a jointer by numbering the sides or something, so here I am back again looking for that clip hoping you have a detail teaching video on the topic. Using a table saw in place of the jointer. thanks !!

Your narrative was excellent, honest, informative and humorous all at the same time. It kept me interested throughout the whole video. I personally would have liked a River but as you said, it’s for the customer to decide, which leaves open to more buyers. I hope you made a good sale on this.

I have no background in wood working (if you do not count the elementary school projects or the firewood preparation with axe) but I really like your videos and apprechiate your style of editing and commenting... and educating me to have moregratitude towards my wooden furniture and the work which was put into it. Keep the great work and the passion!

New viewer here....please keep the teaching!! I want to learn more and the way to learn it, is to hear it repeatedly. I am a furniture flipper and I'm looking to continuously learn and grow....this is so helpful. Its not broke so don't try to fix it. 😊

I have to say I'm enjoying your videos. They are oddly meditative watching you work and hearing you talk. It struck me as interesting that you hardly use music and just show the documentation of the work. No flashiness, just woodworking.

I love the center open. You just don’t see them made like that. Great job.😊

I love this piece, it rocks! As opposed to having the glass in the center, I would maybe try and fabricate a serving tray that would fit in that wide section. Nice Job 👍 Chris

I like it open in the middle. It's beautiful and different. This is a lovely piece.

Beautiful. Would love to see a follow up video once sold with the finished table if they chose to fill the centre.

I think the gap in the center is the coolest part about the table. I’d throw a big ass cactus or indoor plant coming up through the middle. So rad.

I like watching everything...even though I am not a woodworker I love watching things being made from wood. This is probably because my grandfather was an apprentice to some of the carpenters that built the mansions on Mackinac Island and I enjoyed watching him work in his basement wood shop.

I'm new to your guys' channel. This is the second video and both videos asked a fair question. For someone who has done woodworking they way you have done this video wouldn't matter. I think you have the potential to bring in people who doesn't do woodworking and may not have an interest and still keep your regulars. I like watching videos where I can get to know the people in the video which holds the interest of the video because it builds character so it makes sense to show the steps without commentary and use text for the steps you are doing and show real time what the two of you are planning and then get back to cutting and measuring. This will help with editing as you guys can get creative with it that is in line with your personality. I can see the mild humor you already have and making that a focus in the video gives the video even more life. You already have the skills to impress your audience with your projects. Just turn your videos into a project as well.

I always prefer videos that show all the minute details of the process. I think it outlines the love and care that goes into true craftsmanship. Even the videos with literally 0 commentary/music/etc and just showing the full process are captivating. The craftsmanship/art will speak for itself and hold people so I wouldn't worry about that too much. If its making the same thing 50x you can show it in detail once then not the rest but I think its important to show the full process of all the unique steps at least.

I love the endings to your videos, the nice words and soft music really put you in a happy place.
