Hey man...really appreciate it, and hope you enjoy the other channel. It will be pretty consistently more this type of humor. - brother

The improvised guitar music! I didn't realize how much I loved it!

Please use his music again! I used to love the calm and relaxed vibe from the guitar. I was always thinking "who is playing this" but so cool that it was just improvised!

I'm studying to be an architect and I don't know what it is about those moments, but seeing you two going through the design process is really cool

Thanks. It's something we've always wanted to include more of.

Damn, how did I miss this one! Best 30 minutes I've spent on YT in a while AND I got free Mobius content into the bargain 😁 Really enjoyable - thanks!

This is „a company’s culture” taking shape, congratz

Hey. This format works. However as an unexpected side effect, I'm now emotionally invested into who gets which pencil sharpener 😂

I’m all about rabbit holes

Really enjoyed the video. Was surprised by the Mobius & Ruppert discussion when you mentioned it was in Erlangen. I was stationed in there from 1980-1984 at Ferris Barracks (long closed). I lived in Dechsendorf and took that Dechsendorfer (among the road's multiple names) Strasse to and from work.

Congratulations! You wanted to make a change and you needed help. You asked for help, and then you got help! Very wise! Looking forward to the new channel focus!

I noticed I started watching these videos less because the formulaic 30-minute segments became really repetitive, this is a very welcome change! Hope you can have a lot more fun making these!

YESS, you be you man. I already considered your style pretty unique and individual and I love the little humorous bits. Looking forward to the next phase!

Best video EVER. The honest look into who you all are is WAY better content than the scripted versions.

I’m a fan of all things Chris and Shaun. I support all decisions made. Forever.

Hilarious yet infomative! Love you guys 'messing' around and having fun. Love your humor. 😂

Ah yes good old German Pencil Sharpener. Here in Germany we call them "Anspitzer". Viele Grüße

I like this format better tbh, makes it more personnal and more lifely. Plz keep going this way ❤️

This was seriously REALLY enjoyable. It was like watching Orange County Choppers without all the yelling and drama. Much more wholesome (aside from the hand stuff and foot stuff). Good changes!

Also, I forgot that the improvised guitar was the SHIT in the earlier videos. Suuuuuuper calming at the time for me.

I'm building an electronics cubby in a desk and needed to rewatch this for inspiration. Loved the kerf cut idea for the lid!

I loved all the banter! Laughed out loud so many times.

Lots of Laughter, I honestly really love the "real life" bits that were added into this video. I really enjoy the planning stages 👍😊

I had a precision brass pencil sharpener from Germany. It might have been an M&R. It had two conical holes each with it's own blade. One was for shaving the wood away from the graphite core and the other was for putting a point on the graphite. It worked really great sharpening pencils made for mechanical drawing, like from Eberhard-Faber. Results on a Ticonderoga were a bit surprising since the folks a Ticonderoga couldn't be bothered to center the lead in the wood. If you got a high end pencil sharpener, maybe you could also get one of those kits for making your own pencils. 🙂

...and just like that, you've become my favorite woodworking/furniture design channel. Your content is top-notch, the format is the best. Thank you.

Kerfs on the cover panel - genius! x

Best woodworking channel on KZread. And it’s not even close.

This style was way more engaging for me to watch. If you guys up and left to Germany when talking about pocket sharpners that would have been the most incredible thing I'd ever witnessed.

Brother have we got news for you. I'm writing to you from Hamburg as we type.

I am an old broadcaster and try to keep up on the industry. Take a look at Rode studio builds. You may already know that Rode makes audio equipment for studios and pod casters. Those studio builds may help with your design elements and or lead you to other multi-person studios. Just a thought. After forty years of amateur woodworking , I like your channel a lot. Keep up the good work.

Love all the episodes but this one might be my favorite. Nice seeing you guys being you. I’ve had similar issues with pencil sharpeners until I used my water stones and a strop to get the razor even sharper than factory sharpened. I could turn that Ticonderoga into a Staedler with only a few rotations.

This video is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!! Great new format!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great video. Love the new direction. Of course I'll be along for the ride!

Loving the new format

Recommend adding a few sound dampening panels to absorb the live echo (I noticed it in the office clips). I've always enjoyed the videos and have no doubt the new direction will have the same excellent quality

Good idea! and I couldn't agree more! From a background in film production, if that's the style of filming you're looking for I would also recommend lighting up the whole space on a rig. Also micing yourself up so we can hear you with clarity. Great direction! looking forward to seeing more!

Great vid, great channel. I raise a glass of fine malt in your direction, for your frankness and honesty in the intro. Good work fella. Like everything, stuff adapts/evolves over time, so run with it. I think the more open format will allow the real "you's" (?) to shine through. It was a blast watching you guys get excited about pencil sharpeners. I'm no different when it comes to getting cool wee journeys on the web - Head Chef, Carpenter, Welder, Climber, Sailor, Bushcraft - I have rather a lot of highly specific, bright shiny things 😀 Looking forward to the watching this evolve.

I've only given your channel time and views, but it's given me knowledge and inspiration (and Other Chris' guitar never fails to chill me out). This approach gives more of that, and more of a look inside the design process to boot. Dude I'm just happy for you. Turns out being more yourself is usually a good thing.

Loved the second half of the video, documentary style is great!

Yes yes yes yes. More raw please. Give us more of a vlog style. Love it.

Looking forward to it. I wouldn’t mind Chris’ music making a return. I miss it! It’s actually one of the things that got me to subscribe originally.

this was a nice change from your usual format, great to have the more personal chit chat that goes on during the day and of course 30 mins selecting a sharpener hahahaha

I actually snorted laughing a couple of times, which is not common in me. I love the tone of this video, thoroughly entertaining. Great job guys 👍 Off to check out the new channel

Also I agree hand stuff 100%, however being diagonal from each other could build tension for hand stuff later 🤣

Duuuude!!!! Love this new format. My absolute favorite video. Keep up the great work.

Nice changes guys! I'm really excited to see where you take all this!

This new format is awesome! I was sad to see the video end.

I'm pretty sure you spent more time designing the "secret drawer" than the whole rest of the desk. :D

That was fun. Good things about both styles, but that was arguably more fun to watch. Arguably.

I fully support the new format! I am so happy to see you both shake things up. The only criticism/critique I have is that the audio levels are all over the place. The voice over portions are at a perfect level but the candid/in person shots audio levels drop off significantly.

Honesty- I have always admired the work you do, but could rarely watch your videos to it's entirety. I think it was because of the lack of energy, personality realism, and pace. This video was amazing! Loved hearing you for who you are versus scripted speech and seeing the cooperative interactions from the whole crew. I hope you continue in this direction for future video content. Thanks

Strip of fabric on the underside of the trough cover to stop it over extending so you dont snap it?

I had to laugh at the pencil sharpeners antics - especially when I started searching on Amazon so I could get a couple myself. Hey I'm an artist, those will get a lot of use! Anyway that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it.

I really dig the new format. I really enjoy behind the scenes type stuff. For me it helps seeing how peoples creative minds process stuff. It helps kick my brain into gear. I 'm excited to see how the new direction plays out! Keep them coming guys.

I'm pleased, it's both of your humour which keeps me clicking

Really enjoyed this one! Had a few actual lols. I can relate to standing around and overthinking projects, but its worth it right!? Looking forward to the new format. Glad you can do this for a living. gogogo

Great job guys the cable cover could have been done like a tambour door. Not sliding obviously but straps with a fabric back, that could have been "peeled open".

I love your friendship. It would be awesome to work with a mate all day.

you just made my day looking up erlangen, the city i live in, just because of pencil sharpeners. Glad you liked their location, it is really beautiful there. Keep up the great work.

You guys have a tendency to make us chuckle with your quirky jokes and puns. But one thing we rarely get to see (til now)- are you two laughing on camera. And it’s amazing. It brings an extremely brightening dimension to these vids.

PLEASE don't ever change the way you two do videos not only do I learn I laugh at the fun you have making them thank you.

So good to see your personality come out.

Will get even better! Keep on the good work.

Hey Chris, I really like the new format. That will be perfect so I can know you better for when I come to live with you guys. Speaking of which, I need a few more documents for the adoption process. I'll send you a list.

Thanks Alexandre. I'll be on the lookout.

Im a fan of this format guys, I wouldn't mind a bit chucked in. While here i want to say i'm a big fan and you guys have been an inspiration to me recently, thank you for the content.

I like how forward thinking you guys are about your channel. Always been great videos but I look forward to more of the “casual/behind the scenes/real Chris and Shaun” type stuff.

I really like this more impromptu style of your videos! I feel like you have maximized how good you typically prepare and 'act' your videos (as in, law of diminuishing returns and all that). These unscripted and "real life" additions will work out really well I think!

I Love this new Style!!! It feels Like I was with you in the Shop :D

Enjoy the format! and will probably be buying a Mobius und Ruppert

Can I just say that I love that you say "thicknii" in half your videos, but then also say the word "radiuses".

Nice new video "style". I like the mix of the old scripted voiceover and the more everyday talk between the two of you. Keep them coming ! ;)

Loving where this is going! Love the second channel as well.👍👍

Love the real life video it makes all of us humans looking at the challenges and questioning you are face with

Firstly, I can only speak for myself, yet I think most people feel the same way. I watch KZread videos mostly for information that will help me become a better wood worker. Yes, there is some entertainment value but that is truly secondary to me, and again I am speaking for myself. Nothing but respect for your guy’s skill set. I’ve learned a lot and I’m thankful for your videos but please know and understand I don’t really care how you come across personally. Less I be misunderstood, I don’t mean that in a bad or derogatory way. You are who you are and that’s fine with me. It’s the content for me, not the personality. If you can show me/teach me a new technique or explain something about a process that might not have been consider by me or others, then you have met my expectations I really enjoy the “Tips” videos and I enjoy seeing the process and the finished product. Your skills and projects speaks volumes to me about you, not how you speak or your body language or anything else for that matter. IMHO don’t try and change how you are or how you come across just build cool stuff and explain the process. How could anyone expect anything more than that.

It was pleasant, in the early days (I've been watching this long), to see your less professional workshop. I seem to recall seeing your son at time. You have always had polished videos (which I appreciate) but it's true that the videos had become more impersonal over time. It's a tricky balance… what I like in your channel is that I never feel that I waste my time (apart for the repetitive SquareSpace ads 😝). On some other channels, I think I'm wasting time because the guy was too lazy to edit properly. The less scripted moments give good insights into the creative process. So far, so good.

ok I'm diggin the "real" footage of you guys its awesome.

dude, you look so much better and more confident when NOT scripted. we want more! :D

Thanks...everything on the new channel is unscripted, so there will be plenty more

Y'all are defining the rabbit hole. The pencil/ sharpener expo is so stupid... and so relatable

I really love your woodwork and the design part, your kind of humor too but I always felt something was missing. Now I got it! It's hugely better to see your real personality and piece of IRL! Long live four eyes!

Idea for the cable covers could use magnets inlay into the covers and the rabbit to hold it down if do a version two. Side use if could stick magnetic stuff to the top like bull clips etc

Secret snack drawer! When you have mini-humans, you need as many hiding places for your snacks as possible!

Your early videos back in the small garage workshop really got me into woodworking. I often rewatch them and they kinda still inspire me to build something. The laid back guitar music is always so nostalgic, I really enjoyed this still of video. Best of luck with your new channel - I‘m looking forward to see what you got planned :)

I'm digging the documentary vibes mixed with your classic VO. I'm sure it's been said already but some better audio pickup when documenting would be nice. A shotgun mic or wireless lav mics would make a huge difference. Either way, I'm sure you'll continue to make great content!

Great change/improvement to the tone. Your videos are awesome but you being you will came out as a bonus. You guys have great chemistry and it is a privilege to watch. The best from Portugal

starting watching your channel as a beginning woodworker with asperations of building some of the amazing pieces of art you guys produce (no plans purchased yet ;) ) But sometimes I just watch to wind down at night, and relax. There is something about your pacing, voice, and videography that extends way past the space of a wood working channel. You guys really have something unique. Don't Change!

Nothing like winding down the evening with a little relaxing talk of pencil sharpeners and what not. :)

1 Pencil and 4 sharpeners would be genius. You are a sharp guy!

Love your work. Just for complete reference, the article id for the Double Spitzer is m+r 706020000. Möbius and Ruppert as company was founded back in 1922, manufacturing pencil planes since then. Greetings from Germany.

Rabbit Hole Chasing. Love It.

Also, this new style of filming is incredible. I love seeing what goes on behind the scenes!!!

8:19 "because we're gonna need some wood" 😆

How about a short vertical rib on the bottom of the trough cover? Please don't lose scrapketball! Bill

So, the whole pencil sharpener thing... was it Friday afternoon in the Foureyes offices or just a regular day? Had a real beer o'clock feel 😁

Way to go guys!! I used to really enjoy those little clips of "real life moments" in the videos before. You have just made your channel better. Great idea!

Now I'm stuck looking up m&r pencil sharpeners. Thanks.

Hillarious, I love this new style!

You could keep the trough cover from bending by adding a spine down the center. And make it less obvious by rounding over the edges a little.

My dude. You did good videos. At the end of the day none of these people are paying your bills or paying you. So it shouldn’t matter what anyone is saying or anything. Stop letting people take up space in your life that aren’t contributing to it positively. Your videos now and then we’re good. Just keep it rolling. People will complain no matter what. It’s psychology 101 and I encourage you to watch some school of life videos really helpful content. Cheers

It's fun for you there in the workshop, right? :) Positive video ... Thank you. :)

Hilarius. I loved the sharpener shopping, and when you said it had been 30 minutes I was surprised. It came across as so much longer. I honestly loved it.

Love the in-depth planning of where to sit... I'd go for footsies myself. Great vid and project. Thanks guys.

I totally have two of the M+R pencil sharpeners. They live one on my workbench and one in my toolbox.

Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and explaining your progress. This is a great explanation of who the other guy in the video is and how that relationship started. On Facebook and other social media locations, The Erasables Podcast. There are whole communities of people into pencils, paper, sharpeners, different sharpeners for different use cases.
