This coffee table was a bit experimental. I knew that I'd be able to build and get the look I was going for, but I was not confident in the strength at all. It has a pretty large cantilevered top. But, I figured it was worth it to give it a shot. If it works, that will give me more confidence in other designs moving forward...and if it didn't work, it'll give me more knowledge about designs moving forward. Either way...it's a win!

Try to make my prettiest sections that outside faces of what will become the front and back sub assemblies and the second hurdle has to do with the overall design what I mean by that is typically whenever you design something you cannot tiptoe towards the edge of what you think the limitations are but here I pretty much through caution to the wind so I came up with lots of iterations prior to settling on one but really they were all variations on the same idea of a long open-ended cantilevered shape basically a trapezoid but you eliminate one of the vertical-ish sides but then after finally landing on one I got cold feet now I'm not stranger to this kind of shape I think the most obvious comparison would be the Autumn that we designed to go with our Glen lounge chair plans and as you can see in the shot here it turned out way stronger than we would have imagined even though the what they were using is slightly thicker and these joints are significantly longer I don't think you need to be a structural engineer which I'm most certainly not to know that thanks to how long this span is in comparison they have the potential to be subject to a much more destructive forces so because of that I started compromising and tried out ideas like this which would equate to using a bracket and other ideas like an inset box but at the end of the day they weren't really what I wanted to build so I thought screw it let's build the version that might not work and if it doesn't I'll learn from it and be a better person for it so with all that out of the way now let's get back to building it and see if it actually works out so with all my chunks cut out and extremely oversized at this point the next step as you probably guessed was mailing and we'll start off with the joiner to get one nice flat face on all of our boards and then we can head over to the planer to create a smooth face on the opposite side and simultaneously bring all of our pieces down to a uniform thickness which for me ended up being just a hair over an inch and a half thick and this was coming from boards that started life in my shop at an inch and 7/8 thick so in the mailing process we lost about 3/8 of an inch or for my friends in the rest of the world other than Liberia and Myanmar this many millimeters but anyway by the time I was through with all of that it was pretty much time to leave for the day so the last thing that I did before heading home was fill some not holes with black tinted epoxy as well as this I guess the euphemism would be live edge but must be real it's more like a missing corner as I said material but I can let that set up overnight so the first thing in the morning I could use my joiner to establish one nice flat edge on each of my pieces so in the shot you can see the piece that was probably the worst offender of the bunch and the faster way to take care of a piece like this would be to establish a mostly straight edge on a bandsaw and then finish it off on the charger is actually doing so I went ahead and cleaned up the whole thing bed on the two ends and then it's almost the cutter head at the center but each time I take a pass if you'll hear and you just kind of creep up on a nice flat edge and in this bed up clip that actually lasted 14 minutes you can see that with each pass I'm getting closer and closer to the clean edge that I need now I know that to the more experience people watching this you probably already know all of this but also know that a lot of people watching are newer to woodworking so I thought it would be good to include and actually if you are newer to woodworking and maybe mostly watch these videos for entertainment or inspiration and you're looking for something that's a little more tailored towards expanding your current skill set go check out the Craig academy I personally worked with them so I can vouch for it I built three of the six projects that they cover which are a workbench a shoe bench and a coffee table and in addition to those projects there's three others plus a whole skills library and way more than I can list here but the bottom line is it's Taylor made for people who are newer to woodworking and looking to take their skills the next level so I'm going to throw a link in the description and if you do sign up just let him know that I said yeah okay so as you just saw after jointing an initial edge on a few of the pieces I use my table saw to cut a in the opposite side and you also might have noticed this template piece that I was referencing when I was doing the joiner demonstration so let's talk about that for a second so in order to make our eventual shapes we're going to be using three templates and this is something that we've covered a bunch of times in fact this coffee table is really inspired by a DIY coffee table that I made a couple months ago l
👍👍👍
The author does like to ruclips.net/user/postUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-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.
To be honest, this is the perfect example for why well made furniture is worth so much money. The final product doesn't look very complex. A few repeating boards with same shape with a bunch of sticks in between. Nothing really complicated. But as we see there is a whole lot more going on in the development and building process!
Good job. ❤
I love the design. The plywood adds something artistic and modern to the look but, I'm not smart enough to explain what that is. 😅 I'm eligible for retirement this year (turning 60) and I have a garage full of tools that are upset that I ignore them so often. Once my day job is behind me, I will focus on a woodworking hobby. I'll be keeping your ideas and shared knowledge in mind as I enter the next chapter in my life. It's never too late to take up something fresh and rewarding. Thanks for sharing.
😊😊
For sure it's never too late
I'm going all in on woodworking and others diy projects
Have fun!
You have an opportunity to help save wood from the landfills and make fun, cool, Carl, stuff! 🙂
I like everything but the plywood...
Enjoy your retirement 👏
Amazing design! Love how elegant and imperfect it is. And not sure if you intended this but the name ‘Wabi-Sabi Shish Kebabi’ suits it too well. “Shish” in shish kebob means ‘6’ and there are 6 pieces skewered by walnut dowels. Just brilliant.
That is a BEAUTIFUL table. I love the updated Mid-Century Modern, truly.
this is really an amazingly designed table, it has both heftiness and lightness in the design. And although using plywood may not be ideal as a coffee table, it does bring an element of surprise into it. Anyway, loving the tone(both voice and color) and storytelling of your videos.
Sick design Chris, I think your solution for lack of material in using the plywood adds some visual interest. I also like how you treated the mortises. Great job man!
I think that black glass tabletop would make it even better
I have been designing and building furniture for 30+ years. First as a significant hobby and now almost full-time in retirement. Most of my creations are more on the traditional side. I love your channel as it exposes me to more contemporary ideas without all the complicated issues I would get in classes with Michael Fortune (a great designer in his own right but can complicate the design of toothpicks LOL). Would you consider reaching out to Marc Adams to teach at his school here in Indiana, Marc Adams School of Working?
Design is nice, but the return to a classic Four Eyes style video is fantastic.
Man I’ve been enjoying the other channel so much, I almost forgot how phenomenal the build videos on this one are.
Hold the phone. Other channel???
@@josiahmoore3806 yeah, Welcome to the Woodshop. Check it out!
Very much satisfied with the product .
kids will like that table,it looks like a diving board
You are such an endearing doofus ... I just love your videos .....
I love it! The plywood gives it something a bit different rather than being boring & the same. You guys always make the most beautiful furniture 🙂
Such a unique table, I love the almost futuristic style. One thing that would have been super cool (and expensive) is to do your original plan of drilling straight through but then using brass spacers to keep the distance the same across all the slabs.
That’s really a great table. I love it! Thanks for let us all participate in such fantastic projects!
This is easily the best build I have ever seen on RUclips. Spectacular job.
I know this is a very old video on the channel, but I do have a version 1.1 update that would add something: Keep the bottom part of the cantilever design 100% flat. This has a nice add-on feature to allow for some storage options such as board games or other niknaks that are used often. I appreciate the aesthetics of the table, a lot, but for me, beautiful furniture should have some "secret-weapon", some added feature, or features that just hits the "wow" button. Pure wood is great, but to make this functional as well as beautiful. I am a man that likes to see the past (woodworking) meet the 21st Century as well. A beautiful coffee table like that need to meet intelligent design. Brass protection tastefully done can add another 100 years to the item, and adding some tech, such as perhaps USB outlets or some other modern adaptions would make wood a new mainstay. Hardwoods and darker woods benefit hugely from having classic brass or Silver accents, that while they are NOT to be garish, can bring the merger of past beauty with modern features. We have a lot of large, fine-wood items at home, and they are all begging for a tech update. We own a solid Yellow-wood and Imboya bedroom suite, solid Kiaat cabinets, Oregon Pine coffee table, etc, but they are missing that teeny bit of integrated tech to bump them into a new life for the 21st century. Lo-fi stuff like a power plug and some well-placed USB ports, or a tasteful LED strip through a diffuser panel for the night stand to negate the need for a lamp, clever things like that can go a long way it having classic meet tech in the right way. Functional Art, especially wood is going to be the new sustainable product
Thanks for converting in metrics!🙂
Oh, and I love how the name "ottoman" fits for something one puts one's feet on. It's totally how we here -- on the Balkan peninsula -- feel about Ottomans too.
Cosmo Kramer would loved that coffee table.
I'd like to say that yeah, your plans *are* great. I bought the Longview Dining Table plans. It looks really daunting for a beginner, but the detailed videos you made will make building it easy.
Thanks!
i really enjoy these videos
I love watching your videos. Not only do I get to learn some maker skills, but I love seeing your shoe collection. You've got some heat me! Keep up the good work.
Really appreciate all the detailed explanations and thought processes laid out! New to wood working and your expertise shared is invaluable.
Cheers!
🇨🇦
Chris, you made this look awesome. No matter of the plywood part of it... Superior!
Love it... but one thing I might add... route a circle into the cantilever section and drop in a piece of glass... slightly larger in diameter than the width of the base so it hangs over each side a little. Maybe a couple smaller circles at the knuckle end. This will make it more practical as a table, and I think the circle(s) would add some visual interest against the hard lines?
Awww man. Just when I finished the simpler version (DIY-Baltic-birch-plywood) coffee table one for my wife with some custom walnut legs. Haha.
Nevertheless, I love this as always. Maybe it’s time for me to build a second FourEyes coffee table. Thanks so much to you guys for being unequivocal woodworking badasses.
Another spectacular piece.. always look forward to your creations.
likes are not enough on RUclips for the same incredible work like this, it deserves more than the likes. 💗💗💗
Love your videos, they're very chill. I'm not into wood working at all but I like the relaxing atmosphere
WOW! This also looks like a great idea to use as a base for a really nice epoxy river-style table too.
Absolutely amazing!!!!!!!! Beyond inspirational
Love it.
While part of me would have loved to see white oak or something other than plywood, I can also appreciate the contrast the plywood provides. This is a gorgeous piece of art.
Such interesting classy work, I've seen other channels murder their designs but here, I really I learn from your aesthetic sense, thanks 😊
wood cutting the bred 4s is crazy, i love it
Great design!
dude.... you have got to try more stuff like this !
Awesome and the imperfection of the plywood is fabulous 👍👍👍
Absolutely stunning design and build. I love your original designs, the shapes and materials you use are always complimentary to one another, 10/10 from me. Thank you for sharing this beautiful creation, you should be very proud of your work. Tony.
This design is quite pretty and different, perfect in its imperfection. I love it
That was awesome Chris. Great work.
Another great looking piece.
OMG, the name of the table is SO good.
Very elegant and futuristic!
Crative, artistic and funny comments, subscribed! you have earned it!! Great work!!
Dang Chris, this definitely seems like one of your most laborious builds to date. Very cool design! I also think the inclusion of sapwood hides the color of the plywood slat (I didn't notice it until you mentioned it)
Beautiful build Chris! I really like the plywood...
Such a fantastic stand for a Class A amplifier - not only it has a great design, but the spaces between the wood also offer excellent ventilation ;) and BTW I love this sense of humor!
I love your videos! The creativity, planning and execution that goes into each project is incredibly inspiring! Thanks for sharing!
This is gorgeous 😍 very modern art and if I remember correctly reminds me of a cool bench at MOMA in New York lol I LOVE it!!
You could also use a track saw to get the comically curved piece close to flat before jointing it.
love the design & especially love the music!
hi mate, just stumbled across your channel a couple of weeks ago and slowly working my way down on your uploads. First up, your work is just beautiful 2. your dry humor is absolutely killing me. Love it!
Thanks Christian...appreciate it :)
Beautiful. Congratulations.
Yes, love this
cant binge watch and not sub :) subbed
It looks beautiful
new subbie..... This was amazing to watch
WOW ! !
A big THANKS for this video.
Crazy build, Dude! Kudos to you! I like it!
This Wabi-Sabi Shishkababi looks amazing. Great Job again!
Beautiful piece Chris!
Love the design and the plywood section adds to the beauty of the piece. Just found your channel and love your content, thank you.
Free Palestine !!!!!!!
Idk if you read comments but I'd like to thank you. These videos have been hugely inspirational and I am currently building a new racing rig heavily inspired by this table and the rig built on this channel. Thank you so much!
Hi. I do teach the comments (and reply to some). That is really cool. Wish you the best luck on the build and can’t wait to see it. 😊
First, I truly love the line of design and execution you two guys do in your shop. I see soooo much Scandinavia in you ....
Secondly, imperfection? Guess you need to use gallon-sized coffee mugs and barrel-sized wine glasses if you want your beverage to stay sturdy on top of the 'slaaats'(?).
Thirdly, a pretty good job. It reminds me how I would have made the table myself. However, to up it a notch I might have tried to join the pieces with bridal joints (yes yes, it complicates the design/work manyfold, but oyess, it also add a level of interest too). So no dominos, just like I commonly do when I make chairs of 3 pieces for the back 'slaaats'.
Fourth, I'd would have made more permanent jigs for the angel cuttings. That way it's easier to make multiple tables if all turns out right.
Finally, I think I had designet the whole 'thing' for an inlaid glass top (re: the need for over-sized mugs/glasses)
I was thinking you’d always use a coaster anyway on a gorgeous hardwood table like this, so just make the coasters big enough to span the slats easily.
Fascinating build! Thank you for sharing. (And I don't hate the plywood, but I would have preferred maple. I know, everyone does walnut and maple together, but it's simply a great combo.)
The Wabi-Sabi Shish Kabobi... I friggen love it haha - such a cool, imperfect, perfect piece!
You guys are amazing. Just found you and will be getting to know you better, for sure. Definitely getting some plans as well. Keep up the extremely beautiful work.
Shishkabab table - loving it! 👍👍👍
i loved the idea of using a different wood for one of the slats.
Definitely a great build.
Lol, watch me draw going 100 mph while speaking to all these Athletic Greens details. Not at all reading from a script.
Your memory is at the same level as your woodworking skills!
Enjoyed the video, like always!
I was nervous with that last bit! Awesome table!
I enjoyed this video as well as the design and final result. You should try doing your version of the zigzag chair. It would go well with this style table.
I first saw this video somewhere else and the video didn’t show the milling at the jointer speed up. I noticed the draw strings from the neck area of your hoodie came very close (relatively speaking)to the jointers cutter head. About 10-12 years ago a friend of mine was using a jointer while wearing a hoodie and the draw string went into the cutter head and pulled his face down. The board he was jointing was on the edge and stopped his face from going into the cutter. Luckily at that point the drawstring was pulled out of his hoodie. He originally thought someone pushed him into the jointer but no one else was in the shop. His security camera luckily caught what happened. Just an FYI…
You guys keep up the great work and content.
That is a piece of art 👏🏻
Love the video and the piece! Nice work!!!
nice name for the table
Always love the build vids!
lol - nice piece. Starting with an idea and meandering towards whatever it wants to become.
Beautiful and unique design!!! Your yoga skills are also unique 😜
I want this table! It’s so fantastic.
Beautiful!
In a previous video, you asked if we liked animations or your illustrations.
In general, any series of technical drawings or animations of any kind, are preferred over not having enough visuals. You know.
:)
The animations say "production quality".
The drawings say "Watch how my brain works."
Both have value.
On is brand.
One is craft.
Incredible
Really enjoyed this one! I had a stool idea that was similar in design. I was considering dowels or just spacers of a different species. After watching you do the dowels, I think I'll use spacers. 😂
Looks great, Chris. I could also see making it out of different species of wood for each slat.
Bill
Best part of my day; domo arigato!
Nice table :D I love following your work from Denmark, Europe :)
I like your design. Very cool!
Great wonderful job
Wabi-Sabi Shishkebabi 🤣 . Looks great
Hi, the quality of your videos is just exceptionally good. You should really switch to 4k to boost your presentation. I love your content, keep it up!
Perfection!
Awesome design, awesome built. Plywood adds that extra.. sauce, I guess). Yet still looks expensive and modern af. Thank's for great content)
Stunning shishi kababe
Music cred? Totally relaxing. Cheers
Very cool and aptly named.
What a breath taking table. Also, love the name!
