This is one of your best builds yet. Minimalist design is extremely difficult because the lack of detail means everything becomes a detail and it’s impossible to hide imperfections. So beautiful and elegant and in a stark space, I’ll become the focal point not only for your wife when’s she’s working, but also for visitors who come for meetings! Now to get a job with an office that big so I can have an amazing piece of my own to admire!
Dude, you making little mistakes is the absolute best part of the videos, and it makes the amateur woodworkers feel a lot better about their own screwups.
Nice table! For future reference, that plastic you peeled off the acrylic, it is there for protection, it would usually be safer to leave that protective film on for the CNC/cutting. Acrylic can scratch pretty easily.
Great result! I enjoy the new format, it’s more raw and real feeling. Tho keep in mind I have nothing bad to say about the previous format/editing. I enjoy all your videos and builds.
Toluene can be used to loosen contact cement. It works for me whenever I make a mistake with it. Great build, Shaun! I always love watching your videos.
Shaun, What can I say. I started watching DIY videos, roughly 10 years ago on RUclips and immediately got hooked because of just how cool all the projects were. RUclips has changed a lot since then and even after pursuing a career on this platform it’s videos just like this that take me back, and I so appreciate what you’ve done here. It is such a cool piece one of my favorites. Well done, my man.
Dude, the cover-up on the gap in the veneer is awesome, It appeals to more than the rotating acrylic section. While I enjoy a design with a function, small touches like that give the piece another layer of character. Also, the outro music, gave me whiplash, haha, cuz I use a video to check whether my earphones are working or not, and they use the same song. Needless to say, my earphones are working perfectly.
This table is gorgeous, as always. I love the idea of the off-center rotating acrylic second level. Like you said, it encourages people to get hands on with the table, in addition to just being a useful feature. It's been fun watching you learn how to use the bendy ply and veneer. I'm not brave enough to get there yet haha.
When I cut plywood on my CNC - to prevent messing up the veneer layers I do an initial ~3mm deep pass with a downcut bit, then use an upcut bit for the remainder but cutting ~0.5mm into the spoilboard. This results in much nicer edges - except you may need to add tabs or DS tape or something to ensure small parts don't lift up while cutting.
Hi Shaun, I really enjoyed this video. You are very right that the simplest things are often the hardest. With no gee-gaws to distract the eye, your work needs to be perfect, or as perfect as it can be. Hiding a small flaw behind a well executed “design feature” is an inspired way to deal with it. It changes an eye-catcher from “ look at that ugly spot” to “ hmm, I wonder what that little thing is telling us?” . You can wisely nod and smile enigmatically at such comments. My wife wanted a turntable for the dining room table. I add that we don’t call it a lazy Susan because her name is Susan. Never-the-less, I used one of those industrial rings like you did and it worked quite well. Another random thought. Your wife has a big office. Lots of scope there for further furniture projects, wouldn’t you say? Cheers, Keith
The air compressor sure has a way of going off right when you don't need it to. In the shop me and my colleagues could be focused on our projects for hours on end and when we take a break and talk the compressor magically decides that is the best time to fill itself up hah
Another fantastic design as always, Shaun! There's so much beauty in simplicity and you nailed this one! You're one of the best designers I watch and I always look forward to videos! Thanks for doing what you do! Cheers, man!
you have a brilliant mind for bringing what looks difficult to looking simple, more and more diverse are your creations but they fit with every day life 👏
Love your style of design Shaun!!! Always unique!!! Great job on this one as well. Congratulations to your wife on her new gig. It would’ve been nice to see the table in her new office. Been watching your videos for over six years and love that you still do your best to lay on top of the ones that are big enough! Keep building, we’ll keep watching.
Great work as always Sir...i remember a long time ago fabricating something similar.."I said similar"...and i cannot count the time i have bumped my knee on the glass part... my brain concentrating avoiding the wood part and telling me ..if it's clear it must be soft.......good luck with that...Beautiful design....
What an inspired design and perfect execution (that veneer seam fix is really nice and looks like a feature)! And congrats to your wife, with an office like that she must be quite a big deal 👏
Loved this one! Riley also loves Flexispot! So you are now his hero. The pair of us just kept saying how satisfying it all was. Ps the filming and editing is 🔥
Fabulous design and workmanship Shaun! From every one of your videos I get ideas and see techniques that bump my hobby level work up to something that I'm proud of. And, I love the approach you're taking with your videos. I come away smiling and energized to get in my shop.!
That turned out amazing Shaun! I normally use kraft or parchment paper as a protection against accidentally sticking the pieces together, then just peel the paper out as you stick the surfaces together. Work especially well on large, uneven surfaces. As usual...beautiful project!!
Another beautimous project, and presented in such a fun way! It's a fabulous design, and wonderful execution. I'm a bit stunned that you didn't solve the issue with the meeting of the veneer panels with -- say it with me -- a brass strip. But seriously, lovely work, and I'm pleased that your resident charmer appreciates you, as well she should. Also, congrats to her for the new position! She must be hot corporate stuff to occupy a swanky office like that!
I think we have the same hair stylist! // I love the idea of veneers, it's a super sustainable way of using wood, you can get some really nice figured woods that way, etc, but the seams! The seams always get me. No matter how tight I make the tape, eventually there's a seam that's not quite right and then that's all I can see. Nice job on this one, glad to see the customer excited and happy about the piece. Thanks for sharing!
Great piece! When you were at the “Skeleton” stage a thought for option two popped in my head. Setting aside the plywood veneer issues, the impromptu “shelves” could be cool to display pieces of art!
Love it Shaun. I appreciate how comfortable you’ve gotten with just making your own very large sheets of veneer. It’s a discipline I haven’t ventured into yet. But I did just buy a 1” band saw blade so maybe it’s coming. I also enjoy the new format and you seem like you’re having a lot of fun with it too.
Awesome work as always! I was worried about that veneer seam and thought for sure you'd add a walnut or black stripe but I like what you did keeping it all maple, looks slick!
I have watched a few of your videos and I have to say I am amazed to watch furniture that you make there isn’t too many channels at least that I have found where you actually make things. I am a DIY hobby I make simple things, but I think people who aren’t into woodworking as muchwould watch you build furniture although I’m not into the modern design I would still watch
Contact cement is very unforgiving if you get the alignment wrong. I was taught to use acetone when cutting it away is not an option. It smells terrible but it sure beats potentially ruining your veneer.
the solution to the seams was cool - if you were still conscious of it, it could have become an aesthetic choice with a much darker wood (perhaps 3 or 4 around the whole table)
You have a good taste and a great style. I have a bias against veneer and wood staining so this probably isn't my favourite, though there is a lot to like about it. I think I'd be very open to being talked around on it, and I think understanding budget would probably help to explain some decisions on the project. It really is a lovely office and the piece looks great in there.
Yeah, veneer gets a bad rap because of all the horrible furniture from the 70’s/80’s/90’s. I really only use it when solid wood would be too difficult or impossible. Or when the wood I’m using for the veneer is precious and needs to be stretched. This one would have been extremely difficult to do with solid wood, so that was my reasoning.
As always, I love your designs as well as your story telling! As someone who has worked with a fair amount of clear acrylic, I'm guessing you already need to start buffing scratches out of that top, just from the milling.
soo, if u ever had to redo something like this, what I would suggest is u put the piece on ur work table with some spacers underneath it. so u could refer from ur table. as long as ur had ur veneer panel square, that should work, at least in my head it does
Good job on the desk, looks good. Just a tip, when you were at the contact cement step your mask had the wrong filters in, you should use a VOC/acid filter next time if you want protection.
Thanks! And yes, I know they are the wrong filters, but I figure better than nothing. And the fans end up doing a pretty good job keeping the fumes out.
Inspired and inspiring. Round isn't going to work in our space, but I am now considering adding a sliding glass element to the coffee table I want to make for our living room.
@@shaunboydmadethis Absolutely. It occurred to me that the seem in the veneer could have been fixed with a thin strip of brass, or other metal. An accent, versus a camouflage?
@10:15 Using a roller on a giant roller was a bit ironic. And at first, I was like "I didn't know woodworker source sold veneers!?!" Wow, what dedication!
Love the table. May try something similar. Let me share with you, I've done a LOT of contact cement. Yours was solvent based, otherwise you would not be worried about the fumes. That's my go to variety. Did not like the water based version. If you get a piece stuck in the wrong spot, you can pour lacquer thinner in between and it will come right apart. And you can wait for the thinner to flash off and restick it. Got admit I don't really trust it to restick so on something important I usually apply a second coast of cement. Add that to your list of tricks.
That’s an awesome concept, Shaun! I think the Pika Screw from Andy Klein would have been a really nice addition to hold down the acrylic top, but that’s only an opinion. Excellent work as always
Beautiful! And your wife loves it so who cares what anybody else thinks?! My only concern is the acrylic top it, scratches so easily. If (aka when) it gets scratched you could either replace with glass OR frost it to hide the inevitable scratching.
So very nice Shaun, your work is always on point and never something you will ever see built by the masses. By the way you did well marrying your wife. She looks beautiful, fun and wise...... good job.
Good stuff. I enjoy your videos/projects. Note for your shop decor- The American flag should be displayed at its right when with other flags like that. I believe it needs to be on the other end. That’s assuming you’re American etc (I don’t know other codes).
Absolutely stunning and beautiful, I wouldn't change a thing. I do have a question that may be obvious to others, but, why did you use red oak for the cake if you were going to paint it? I know red oak is strong and dense, but I thought you were using it for the way it looks after finish is applied.
Red Oak is pretty much the only wood I finish in black like that. It has open grain, so it shows through even with the black finish. And it's pretty cheap, so I don't feel bad about covering up it's natural color.

The pride your wife must feel, when someone would comment on her coffee table and she would answer “thank you, my husband made it” 🤙

I know you changed your video style a few "episodes' back and I'm loving it. This was super cute and fun to watch. Thanks as always
Happy to hear that! Thanks for watching!
Nice table!
For future reference, that plastic you peeled off the acrylic, it is there for protection, it would usually be safer to leave that protective film on for the CNC/cutting. Acrylic can scratch pretty easily.
Yep, I just wasn’t sure how it would react when cutting on the CNC, so I decided to take it off and do my best to avoid scratches.
Glad to see the ol' Shaun Boyd signature strength test at the end! Great design.
Great result!
I enjoy the new format, it’s more raw and real feeling. Tho keep in mind I have nothing bad to say about the previous format/editing. I enjoy all your videos and builds.
Really appreciate it! Not sure RUclips agrees with you, but I enjoy making them this way a lot more.
I agree with this guy
Still in love with the music when the beauty shots drop. Never change good man.
LOVING shauns new energy!! looks like youre finding your own unique style
Toluene can be used to loosen contact cement. It works for me whenever I make a mistake with it. Great build, Shaun! I always love watching your videos.
Thanks for the tip! First time that has happened to me.

Never would have thought of making it rotate... bold choice. Cool Beans.
I was pretty excited when I first thought of it. Glad it worked out!
Great build, man. Keep rocking it.
Beautiful, love the concept /design. The lazy Susan is the icing on the Cake!!!
Great craftsmanship.
Have a wonderful Sunday!!!
I've been watching you since you were in that single car garage. You've always had beautiful designs. Great work as usual. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sticking around!
Love the table and the build. Really liked the last bit, forgetting to mention that the top rotates. That was neat!
This guy is so underrated. Loves all his videos

Yep, it’s a tricky balance! And there are definitely going to be more office furniture projects in the future.

Haha, it’s like it knows.
Its Chris on a remote switch somewhere 😅😅
It's like standing next to a fire outside. Wherever you move to,the smoke ends up in your face
Excellent craftsmanship my friend! Keep up the great work.
It's beautiful, I love it. Excellent job Shaun.
We used to us lacquer thinner to get misplaced laminate loose. Great project!
Another fantastic design as always, Shaun! There's so much beauty in simplicity and you nailed this one! You're one of the best designers I watch and I always look forward to videos! Thanks for doing what you do! Cheers, man!
Really appreciate that!
Really cool build,know dought your wife will feel a lot of pride as people comment on such a cool table. I wish I had your vision for design. Thanks.
Great looking project. Enjoyed the detail description.
Very cool design especially the acrylic top
god. dang. That's some of the coolest stuff I've seen in a looong time. Thanks for the video, great build!
Talent, in designing, building and being an all round nice guy… you are an inspiration.
you have a brilliant mind for bringing what looks difficult to looking simple, more and more diverse are your creations but they fit with every day life 👏

Thanks! Unfortunately the table won’t be in her office for a little while, so I couldn’t get any final shots in there.
Great work as always Sir...i remember a long time ago fabricating something similar.."I said similar"...and i cannot count the time i have bumped my knee on the glass part... my brain concentrating avoiding the wood part and telling me ..if it's clear it must be soft.......good luck with that...Beautiful design....
Haha, that was part of the reason for making it turn-able. I guess my wife will have to let me know. Thanks for watching!
@@shaunboydmadethis Yeap mine was fixed...really tight and real good..
So cute that you can make something for your wife that she appreciates. Love this video
Haha, it’s always nice to feel appreciated!
That is a HELL of a designer piece Shaun!!
DAMN! I'm almost speechless! That's a win for sure!
When I hear the Urban Lullaby theme song I know you’ve done your job sir. It’a right of passage!😅
so cool! love the rotating feature!
Thanks buddy!
Pure, unadulterated awesomeness. Thank you
Beautiful design. Inspires me to be more creative with my designs.
Awesome design Shaun, it definitely will look nice if your wife's office!
Beautiful table! Great work!
Your Are CRAZY... Crazy Good. Thanks for sharing your project!!
What an inspired design and perfect execution (that veneer seam fix is really nice and looks like a feature)! And congrats to your wife, with an office like that she must be quite a big deal 👏
This is a beautiful piece. It really shows your range as a furniture maker. Also, your wife is cute as button.
Loved this one!
Riley also loves Flexispot! So you are now his hero. The pair of us just kept saying how satisfying it all was.
Ps the filming and editing is 🔥
Haha, that's awesome! Glad you guys enjoyed it, hope all is well!
Your courses ARE the best. I’ve loved the ones I’ve used.
Stoked to hear that! Glad you enjoy them.

Haha, definitely considered a contrasting wood or a piece of brass, but it felt too obvious. Glad I went with this. Thanks for watching!
Love the look Shaun, you did amazing work!
Imagine all the storage space this table would have if you put the skin on the inside instead of the outside
Heat gun on low setting will usually separate items joins by contact cement. Much like we use an iron on laminate that has bubbled up.
Another great build for your biggest client.
I think we have the same hair stylist! // I love the idea of veneers, it's a super sustainable way of using wood, you can get some really nice figured woods that way, etc, but the seams!

Yeah, veneer can be tricky, but really opens the door for a lot of cool stuff. I’ll assume your hair looks spectacular, as well.
Great piece! When you were at the “Skeleton” stage a thought for option two popped in my head. Setting aside the plywood veneer issues, the impromptu “shelves” could be cool to display pieces of art!
That could be very cool! Might have to try that at some point.
A really interesting piece that turned out great!
Love the design!! Great job!
Love your work. New shop tour!
Wow, the table is impressive enough, but seeing you cut your own veneers as well…. Stunning!
Love it Shaun. I appreciate how comfortable you’ve gotten with just making your own very large sheets of veneer. It’s a discipline I haven’t ventured into yet. But I did just buy a 1” band saw blade so maybe it’s coming. I also enjoy the new format and you seem like you’re having a lot of fun with it too.
Thanks man! Making veneer has been fun, just one of those things you have to dive in head first with.
Awesome work as always! I was worried about that veneer seam and thought for sure you'd add a walnut or black stripe but I like what you did keeping it all maple, looks slick!
I almost did! But was happy I went this direction.
I have watched a few of your videos and I have to say I am amazed to watch furniture that you make there isn’t too many channels at least that I have found where you actually make things.

Contact cement is very unforgiving if you get the alignment wrong. I was taught to use acetone when cutting it away is not an option. It smells terrible but it sure beats potentially ruining your veneer.

Or when the wood I’m using for the veneer is precious and needs to be stretched. This one would have been extremely difficult to do with solid wood, so that was my reasoning.
U can loosen the contact cement with heat (heat blower) if it's a small area
Atleast the one i worked with
You make a fantastic job man!👍🏻
As always, I love your designs as well as your story telling! As someone who has worked with a fair amount of clear acrylic, I'm guessing you already need to start buffing scratches out of that top, just from the milling.
Haha, I did my best to avoid scratches, but it’s inevitable. Thanks for watching!
Excellent, thanks, really enjoyed this one
Love the background music!
soo, if u ever had to redo something like this, what I would suggest is u put the piece on ur work table with some spacers underneath it. so u could refer from ur table. as long as ur had ur veneer panel square, that should work, at least in my head it does
Good job on the desk, looks good. Just a tip, when you were at the contact cement step your mask had the wrong filters in, you should use a VOC/acid filter next time if you want protection.
Thanks! And yes, I know they are the wrong filters, but I figure better than nothing. And the fans end up doing a pretty good job keeping the fumes out.
Inspired and inspiring. Round isn't going to work in our space, but I am now considering adding a sliding glass element to the coffee table I want to make for our living room.
Awesome! I feel like there are all sorts of ways to incorporate stuff like this into other pieces.
@@shaunboydmadethis Absolutely. It occurred to me that the seem in the veneer could have been fixed with a thin strip of brass, or other metal. An accent, versus a camouflage?
Great job as always buddy!
@10:15 Using a roller on a giant roller was a bit ironic. And at first, I was like "I didn't know woodworker source sold veneers!?!" Wow, what dedication!
Actually, Woodworker's Source does sell veneers. They have paper-backed veneer, raw wood veneer and wood veneer edge banding.
I mean, we do... but all for watching others make it, that's more fun!
Love the table. May try something similar. Let me share with you, I've done a LOT of contact cement. Yours was solvent based, otherwise you would not be worried about the fumes. That's my go to variety. Did not like the water based version. If you get a piece stuck in the wrong spot, you can pour lacquer thinner in between and it will come right apart. And you can wait for the thinner to flash off and restick it. Got admit I don't really trust it to restick so on something important I usually apply a second coast of cement. Add that to your list of tricks.
I'll definitely keep some nearby from now on!
Minus points for not calling the finish "lotion" but other than than awesome build!
All finish on veneer will be called lotion from now on.
That’s an awesome concept, Shaun! I think the Pika Screw from Andy Klein would have been a really nice addition to hold down the acrylic top, but that’s only an opinion. Excellent work as always
I definitely thought about using one. But I think I need something quickly, so went with this.
Acetone on hand always when doing veneer to release it if you flub it going on.
look's great shaun , but fancy not showing the "clien"' the rotating top ! you did lay down on it though 🙂🙂
When woodworking meets a labor of love.
Thank's !
08:06 - 08:10 the face expression you make after saying "we're good to go" made me chuckle 😋
Beautiful! And your wife loves it so who cares what anybody else thinks?! My only concern is the acrylic top it, scratches so easily. If (aka when) it gets scratched you could either replace with glass OR frost it to hide the inevitable scratching.
Yep, definitely a concern, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there. I decided scratches were better than potential shattered glass.
So very nice Shaun, your work is always on point and never something you will ever see built by the masses. By the way you did well marrying your wife. She looks beautiful, fun and wise...... good job.
Good stuff. I enjoy your videos/projects.
Note for your shop decor- The American flag should be displayed at its right when with other flags like that. I believe it needs to be on the other end. That’s assuming you’re American etc (I don’t know other codes).
Great build! And also a great opportunity to use one of Andrew Klein's PIKA screws to hold down the top piece! (not affiliated lol)
Definitely thought about it, can’t remember why I didn’t. Maybe just needed to get something quickly.
Brilliant, as usual.
Absolutely amazing! Boy, did I see your dad in some of your expressions.
Haha! I’ll have to tell him that!
In the 70's, my father who was in insurance, dealt with a few cases of contact-cement fires. Be careful friends.
Absolutely stunning and beautiful, I wouldn't change a thing. I do have a question that may be obvious to others, but, why did you use red oak for the cake if you were going to paint it? I know red oak is strong and dense, but I thought you were using it for the way it looks after finish is applied.
Red Oak is pretty much the only wood I finish in black like that. It has open grain, so it shows through even with the black finish. And it's pretty cheap, so I don't feel bad about covering up it's natural color.
Shaun…you really need to make a matching rubbish bin (trash can)…👏😁👏
Outstanding !!!
The vibes in this video are immaculate
