Foureyes Furniture

Foureyes Furniture

Hi, I'm Chris. I love designing and building furniture. I didn't grow up around woodworking or as a handy person. I only got interested when I was 30 years old. But I dove in pretty deep. Within a few years I had started "foureyes furniture" where I would design and sell commissioned pieces and a few years later I started my KZread channel.

If you're interested in building something, watch our videos, and check out our "Furniture Project Courses" on our website.

    Thanks Deloris. Happy Birthday whomever. Since you cut the curves for the center piece on the CNC you might have also used it to place dowel or tight domino mortises as well. The positioning would have been exact and could of not only aligned the pieces for glue up but have been used to register each on the various jigs you used for the final dimensioning.

    To me, the popsicle stick inlays seem to represent the act of bridging a gap or placing a bandage on a wound so it can heal. Each one of your pieces tells a story. This table says you can survive a trauma and come out stronger, even if that means you have a very telling scar.

    It is so refreshing to hear you be so transparent, open, and honest. The "mistake" turned out to be REALLY NICE. I think it adds a very unique and beautiful character to the table. It almost seems that the beauty of the tabletop without the "popsicles", though pretty, would be kind of "plain". I like the character. Nice work.

    Thanks Dolores. I had a router bit walk out of my router and almost destroy a purple heart guitar body I was making. I felt the pain of this situation. The finished project looks amazing regardless. Thanks for showing us the mess ups and keeping the experience honest and truthful. Love your work.

    I unequivocally love that table with the inlay you did to fix the mistake. I think it complements the table so well that it would be missing some visual interest without it. If I could afford one of your tables I would happily make an offer for it, but at very least I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the final decision you made with it. Well done, and I hope it holds up with time.

    couple of ideas. have you considered, although a bit pricey, to buy a sheet of 3/4" hdpe and cutting it into a circle which would cost about $400 for a 4x8 sheet according to a place i called. Then you can re-use it all the time and have less chance of it sticking. I get that youre then limited to a 48 inch diameter table but i dont know if you usually do bigger than that. Second, ive seen people using a paste mold release for big projects like this so you ensure you don't miss anything so maybe you can try that method as well.

    A brass bar as an insert might have looked beautiful and intentional if you are ok with 3 colors to your table. You might even find a way to add brass to the base to bring it together.

    I think a Shaper Origin might be a good tool for cutting the C-channel groove. The fact that it is still a hand held tool makes you a little bit more confident and gives you more control when making the cuts. Also it is very easy dial in the exact dimensions without having to go to the computer.

    You probably won't see this, but 3D printing can be much cheaper and easier for you to test your prototypes to some extent, ABS, and Nylon should be resistant enough to let you use it for a while. Even PLA or PETG if you just want to have hold them and feel the grip.

    Back in my Quality Engineering days, our best machinist made a simple mistake that cost over $40k. I felt horrible; we all did. But shit happens sometimes. The worst part about it, the mistake wasn't entirely his fault. The Gauge Tech set a dial bore gauge to go around twice to "0" and didn't tell the machinist. The machinist didn't double-check with the master and bored a hole oversized. Being the QE meant I had to redo all of our gauging SOPs to help prevent the mistake in the future, costing the company even more money.

    Making the hub part.. when in doubt, jig it. Cnc'd plywood, spacers and thread bar (for reuse). Frankly I would had left a hole in the middle (ie. skip the middle slab of the hub), but that's just my wonky design aesthetic. ed: had to triple watch the breaking bit - literally first time I've even heard of bit coming loose to cut too deep.. zeroing and toolpath f' ups sure, my own kitchen table is ~15 mm thinner than it should be because the cnc it was planed with had wrong zero and moving head scraped a massive groove that required re-re-re-planing the surface to hide. :/ As for hiding the mistake, I personally would had picked different wood and made something like cup holders or a deep enough groove that looks intentional. Perhaps even a lid. Something that makes the person looking at it go "oh, thats a funny detail but guess it works" rather than "that's obviously trying to hide something".

    You may want to try building the mold with the rim tapered as they do making forms for sand casting. In theory it should make it possible to release the top from the mold. YMMV! Thanks Deloris!

    I would think of making that to look natural by widening it and pouting another layer on top of it, not ideal of course, but way better than any kind of inlays. partially could be filled with another piece from same slab

    Sorry, You cut the slot too deep and ended up losing the customer, 1. why not begin with 2 sets of material so you have a fail safe? 2. why not make a exact cut on the other side parallel to the one you erroneously made and compensate it Aesthetically?, the symmetry of your cuts would have made it look almost like you intended it. I would have filled the accidental cut with a same material shaped plug instead of the things you came up with.

    I do make "fail safe" pieces from time to time, but usually a leg or something. If I need 4, I'll make a 5th etc... Making an extra top as fail safe for this project would be pretty wild. Also very expensive.

    Hey four eyes furniture 😄 first your KZread name makes me feel like I’m insulting you for your glasses which is not the case. Second, what’s the reason you didn’t pre CNC dowel holes or something to line up the glue stack? Kind of like the dominos couldn’t you CNC a pocket in the pieces that doesn’t go all the way through and then flip the outside pieces and fill those voids to line it up? If you create the file to have separate pockets for the middle two pieces nothing would show and as long as your dowel’s/dominos are straight it should line up perfect? I love your creative problem solving, but I think it would save you a lot of steps. Great content as always 👍🤟

    First...no offense taken :) As for the registration dowel idea...a few people have pointed this out. I hadn't thought of it initially, but definitely a good idea and something I would do next time.
