In this video I talk about my history making woodworking videos here on RUclips, and some of our new plans for the future. As part of those plans for the future we also started renovating our office, so in this video we build a giant Desk for four people.

LOVING seeing you goof around and seeing more of your "normal" personality. I'm here for this! nice work
Joel....my guy :)
This new format has made me like the channel even more than I used to. Way better and feels way more natural.
Hey man...really appreciate it, and hope you enjoy the other channel. It will be pretty consistently more this type of humor.
- brother
I’m a hands stuff guy but that’s just me 😂
gotta take what you can get, right? 😂
I'm with you Mike. Hand stuff is way better than footsies. Hands down.
Go to Thailand and meet the right girl… you might be a foot stuff kind a guy.. 😂..lol jk
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.
The improvised guitar music! I didn't realize how much I loved it!
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 😂
Brother...you're in luck. Because in two days it will all be revealed.
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
You'll be happy to know, these are already in the works.
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!
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!
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!
Lots of Laughter, I honestly really love the "real life" bits that were added into this video. I really enjoy the planning stages 👍😊
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!
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!
Also I agree hand stuff 100%, however being diagonal from each other could build tension for hand stuff later 🤣
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.
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
I’m a fan of all things Chris and Shaun. I support all decisions made. Forever.
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
Thanks Cornell...go check out that link in the description. Hope you enjoy it :)
@@Foureyes.Furniture Done! Instasub.
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.
Best video EVER. The honest look into who you all are is WAY better content than the scripted versions.
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.
I loved all the banter! Laughed out loud so many times.
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.
I'm building an electronics cubby in a desk and needed to rewatch this for inspiration. Loved the kerf cut idea for the lid!
This video is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!! Great new format!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like this format better tbh, makes it more personnal and more lifely. Plz keep going this way ❤️
Ah yes good old German Pencil Sharpener. Here in Germany we call them "Anspitzer".
Viele Grüße
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 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.
Wow, thank you!
"Is there a better solution though...?" You could epoxy small magnets into small pockets in the desk & cover. Just a thought
Same thought.
I was thinking magnets as well.
Thank you so much for this new format! I love all the little moments and it makes your channel so much more fun to watch!
Never thought I'd hear Chris talking about doing hand stuff with his wife 😂
lol :P
But now I'm wondering if Dolores and Chris need to work on their hand stuff, or if they're both just exceptional footsiers...
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.
Loving the new format
Nice changes guys! I'm really excited to see where you take all this!
I'm pretty sure you spent more time designing the "secret drawer" than the whole rest of the desk. :D
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. :)
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.
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.
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.
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 :)
This is beyond relatable. As a fellow content creator who is also self conscious, its difficult to be "normal" on camera without second guessing every single thing I say or do and then not being hyper critical of myself in the edit. The upside is that even if you don't think you're coming across well, you are. Your videos are more enjoyable than ever, so...congrats!
Thanks man...glad the sentiment came across and you can relate. Hopefully with more exposure it becomes more natural.
Duuuude!!!! Love this new format. My absolute favorite video. Keep up the great work.
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.

..."a Boolean search for an analog pencil sharpener..." is I want that T shirt!
We'll start the Teespring
I need that as well
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
Firstly, I can only speak for myself, yet I think most people feel the same way. I watch RUclips 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.
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 always loved the video style you had, I actually commented five years ago that you might even be a cinematographer instead; but after those many years this new format is equally engaging, refreshing and more entertaining, it's almost like an episode of a series (I'm getting The Office vibes), so congrats on the change!
This new format is awesome! I was sad to see the video end.
Yes yes yes yes. More raw please. Give us more of a vlog style. Love it.
Very exciting, can't wait to see how your vids change over time!
I've always enjoyed the 'in the moment'.... moments Alec Steele channel has.
Fun to see more of your personality.
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.
The behind the scenes really completes these videos. Love this new style!
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!
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.
Great video. Love the new direction. Of course I'll be along for the ride!
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
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.
Best woodworking channel on RUclips. And it’s not even close.
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.
Love the in-depth planning of where to sit... I'd go for footsies myself. Great vid and project. Thanks guys.
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
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
I love it that you guys fall down ridiculous rabbit holes like me and my coworkers. Behind the scenes content like that is golden!
I’m all about rabbit holes
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 😁
Love the ideas. Been following your channel for a long time and have bought some plans. Whatever you do, Ill keep watching. And I'm sure the rest of your followers will, too. Be yourself!
Kerfs on the cover panel - genius! x
Thanks for the update. Be encouraged my fellow woodworker and creator. I have always liked your authenticity...this was a helpful video of you showing your direction as a channel and business. Cheers to the next 5 years!
Thanks man...looking forward to them :)
@@Foureyes.Furniture I forgot to mention I like the casual filming you did. I wish I could get a camera guy. I get so tired of setting up all the shots.
That was fun. Good things about both styles, but that was arguably more fun to watch. Arguably.
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!
Loved the second half of the video, documentary style is great!
I love this new style of video. Enjoyed laughing with you guys and look forward to more of that!
Sometimes we, the viewers, don't know what we want until we get it.
I'm here for the future of FourEyes ✌🏼
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.
Also, this new style of filming is incredible. I love seeing what goes on behind the scenes!!!
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.
So great. Keep this stuff coming man.
I'm pleased, it's both of your humour which keeps me clicking
I love this new candid style. Been a fan for a long time but you had me laughing on this one.
For the sharpener, you should try it on the side when the drawer is pulled out. Kinda like in a dowel insert.
Also, first thing I thought was a cup holder. Nice simple hole, and slide in a cup. No ring spots!
Love the channel guys!
Concerning the fit and finish of your project. As my Uncle use to say, “It’s good enough for who it’s for”!
8:19 "because we're gonna need some wood" 😆
I enjoy your style and presentation and have grown with you guys over the years. Thank you for all your hard work.
Thanks Robin...appreciate it :)
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.
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!
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 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 love the channel even more now. Watching you guys spend so much time on the pencil and sharpener discussion is something my brothers and I would absolutely do lol I'm dying laughing because I know I would personally fall into a days long sharpener rabbit hole. Please keep the videos in this format!
Hilarious yet infomative! Love you guys 'messing' around and having fun. Love your humor.
😂
you guys are awesome, some of the best videos. don't stress about it!
just keep on keepin on!!!
Loving where this is going! Love the second channel as well.👍👍
Will get even better! Keep on the good work.
Good stuff guys, looking forward to more like this!
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 ! ;)
I Love this new Style!!! It feels Like I was with you in the Shop :D
Can’t wait for the new content. I love the new candid moments!
Hillarious, I love this new style!
Can I just say that I love that you say "thicknii" in half your videos, but then also say the word "radiuses".
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!
