In this woodworking video I build my best piece yet. A Mid Century Modern Inspired Credenza. It is made from Walnut Hard Wood and Plywood. When I used to build furniture for clients, this was my most requested piece. I thought it was only right that I actually have one for myself.

Upon unboxing, I was immediately upset at how the rails were very noticeably bent. But I kept going, all tools needed to assemble were included ruclips.net/user/postUgkxqtX4Dxs6aecAZEuz6GY5-d81YecKCshn and I had it set up in about 30 minutes. Honestly I love this thing, make sure to read the measurements and measure your space so you know if it'll work for you. I bought this to put inside my closet, underneath where I hang my clothes and it is absolutely perfect! It is VERY sturdy and all drawers glide easily and mine are stuffed, and they are still flush when closed.
I keep coming back to this video. There's something about this specific piece I can't explain. It is simply beautiful. Great work!
hello. I'm student who studied furniture design. i'm seeing your channel before I'm sleeping. your works have inspired me. I can't speak english well, but I wanna comment in your channel.
Hi Thank you, I appreciate the kind words!
This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection ruclips.net/user/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.
Beautiful work, Chris! I really love it!
And it is also nice that you are discreetly presenting us your sponsors instead of shoving them in our face.
This credenza really does look amazing!
CraftAndu Agreed, beautiful work. Discrete advertising though? Maybe if you listen and not watch. It was a bit much. But hey, now he's got all the Festool goodies at least.

I just want to hug somebody. Thats the way this video made me feel :-)
The build was awesome, cant wait to check out the rest of your channel your channel ! And lastly, I will be highlighting your channel on my podcast, Reclaimed Audio. You have much to offer the Maker world !
Cheers,
Bill
Hey Bill. Thanks! I really appreciate the kind words and the support :)
Can't wait to check it out!
Chris you're videos are always magical.
Thanks Ryan!
It's so interesting to watch a building process that doesn't feel excessively aggressive. He's a master craftsman that's letting us in on his process. It's elegant and thoughtful. Almost like watching a master chef in their element. Totally satisfying.
Beautiful project, cool design and awesome story telling..
Thanks Bill. Really happy with the way it came out!
I love how you film glueing as an easy and relaxing event. When I try to film it, hell breaks lose.
Thank you for another relaxing and wonderful video, cheers!
Thanks Andrea. Yeah, gluing is pretty stressful a lot of the time. I try to do it in small sections, and I usually get a few relaxed shots, and then I'm rushing around when the camera is off :)
Started off sketchy with the sheet grabber device but had my subscription by 1:20 in. Thanks for the video. Its like free college.
haha...glad I could redeem myself :)
I know this has been said before, but you have the best narrating voice, I love the whole production, your voice, your choice of music, and your workmanship is just stunning, thank you for entertaining us.
Thanks Mark...glad you're digging the whole package. Appreciate the support!
Spectacular art Chris!
I'm Brazilian, and I really like your work. Congratulations.
Beautiful work and great story telling!
The music, the and narration, the story, the piece, the process are all the reasons I watch your videos, but my absolute favorite part is when you apply the finish. It seems to always set you piece in fire! Love it
People always love that part. Thanks man!
I literally got goosebumps on the first completed reveal shot -- the close up with the wood grain.
This is simply amazing and beautiful.
Thanks Benjamin. Appreciate the kind words!
man!! this is so cool! my eyes are dry because i didn't blink during the whole video :P great job
Thanks Cactus...appreciate it. Now go get some eyedrops!

you should have your own tv show, but tv is dead..
really like the layout of how you do the projects/explain content.. it's very ego free, much respect sir.
My best friends dad, who I consider my own father, turned me on to your channel. Loving you're designs and beautifully made videos. Keep up the great work! thanks for inspiring me to keep making.
Thanks Samuel. That's awesome. I love hearing about people spreading the channel via word of mouth :)
Great work Chris. I love the design and the joinery details. The difficulty of clean design is WAY more than most people realize.
Thanks Greg...appreciate it!
Great video as always! So relaxing watching you do nice work! Keep it up!
Thanks Valkyr :) Will definitely try to
Congrats on the sponsor Chris. Onwards and upwards! And the credenza looks awesome of course!
Thanks! Rockler was super easy to work with...they really let me do my thing without interference. Great experience!
And here I am making a cat box with cardboard and tape. Damn you city center apartment with no space for woodworking.
I have been making a living at woodworking for three decades. I am very impressed with the design and execution of all these pieces. GJ!
Thanks man...that means a lot coming from someone with so many years of experience.
I think Mid-Century Furniture never goes out of style and every generation will certainly want a house full.
I hope you're right :)
Beautiful piece and video production!

"Form follows function" is the Bauhaus principle. It is that the beauty and attractiveness of something comes from how well it fulfils its purpose, furnitures purpose is to both look good and also be functional. Additionally, expanding on the principle, Bauhaus is about truth to material, ie, don't try and hide the materials you use, eg don't make a table out of plastic and make it look like wood. It's about respecting the material you use. Live the video, great stuff mate 💪
Hey Trent...thanks for the background/insight. To your first point...I guess without strictly knowing it, that was kind of the point I was making "the purpose of looking good". Interesting side note...I know this piece looks like walnut, but the entire thing was actually made of paper mache :)
Additionally, the Bauhaus also taught students to push materials to their breaking points (extreme bends, tessellation, height, weight etc) before ever really making art anything. This is an aspect of minimalism that is often overlooked--it shouldn't just be "simple." And i think the joinery of this project sort of nods to that. There's a big leap of faith the first few times you mitre-fold something without fasteners, and I even thought to myself, is the half-lap alone enough? And of course it is, but that tightrope sort-of joinery is exactly what good design is about.
Good job. You had 2000 followers when I subscribed. I cannot stop saying that I believe you and clickspring channel are the best put together video channels. Good job sir.
Hey Martin...I remember that. It's funny that it wasn't that long ago, though it feels like 3 years on my end. :)
Keep up the excellent work. If I lived near I would offer to sweep the floors. Lol. Glad to see the big companies paying attention to the right makers. Thank you sir and stay humble. Loyal fan here.
Thanks, nice work. I especially like the care you take in all aspects of the project and what really got my attention on this build was how you minimize / eliminate squeeze out.
Thanks. it's funny, I had one person tell me I use too much glue, and another that I don't use enough. I said "I must be using the perfect amount". I guess you're the goldilocks to confirm that.
That's funny. I'm just completing a garden bench and went to a fair amount of trouble to minimize squeeze out. My concern then was have I starved the joint of glue? It's a tough one, but it looks like you had a reasonable amount of glue in the joint and left a space between the glue and the edge of the joint, so the squeeze out filled in that area. I think I might have to buy one of those Rockler silicone glue spreaders.
Yeah...the spreaders, and the whole kit are really nice. Especially the tray, or just having something to put glue in, rather than always squeezing it directly onto the piece. Another secret is don't use excessive clamping pressure.
One thing I can't wrap my head around is how you calculate the length of top and bottom parts of the trapezoid frame. I mean you could just cut any length for top or bottom, but then how you calculate the length of the other part? I'm hoping to build sth similar so your answer would be hugely appreciated. Oh... and awesome as always.
You kind of have it. You basically sneak up on the finished length. So cut your top and side to whatever. Then I lay them on there backs and dry assemble with tape. And then just kind of sneak up on the bottom until it fits just right. You can pull all the info from drawings, and calculations...but I never trust it, b/c if you were off slightly with an angle, or a length (on the top or sides) it all goes out the window.
www.1728.org/quadtrap.htm This may make your life easier. All the best.
I would say use tools dimensions (no matter how accurate) as a general suggestion. You're human and whatever cut you make that is supposed to be 16" is probably slightly off. And so is that 15* angle you tried to cut. Compound these human errors a few times, and that number becomes a suggestion.
Thx Chris, that helped a lot.
Pro tip: To find funny measurements without math, draw, play with it until it looks right. And remember, measure measure cut, measure again, cry.
I personally have autocad for free (it was a student license which for some reason never expired) But anything with a measure function will work, heck, even a big piece of paper will do just fine.
This is by far the most beautifully filmed woodworking video I've seen. Every aspect from the music, the soft voice overlay and the piece itself is just sublime. Good work man.
Thanks Zach...I appreciate that :)
Wow dude, I clicked on this because of the stellar piece, and then was pleasantly surprised by the production quality! Your filmmaking technique is excellent on so many levels; it's miles above EVERY other woodworking/car/welding/how-to video I've watched. It's obvious you have a love for the process that makes the product, AND are able to display that, which is rare.
Hey John...Thanks! Really appreciate that. Glad you stumbled upon me and were impressed by the video.
Simple hints like clamping horizontally off of vertical clamps like at @2:10 are the exact reason i get excited about new videos from you Chris
Very nice. I appreciated your sentiment on "form follows function." This was used a lot in design school and sometimes I had to argue that form IS the function
Amen!
Alexander said it best :)
I shall build this, no question. One of my favorite pieces of yours, Chris. Gorgeous, gorgeous work.
Hey Man...Thanks! Go for it. Love seeing when people build things inspired by my stuff.
Chris, you have a very unique blend of artistry, design, woodworking, photography and editing (especially the latter) and story-telling. Your channel is a real gem. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
Finally made it over to your channel after listening to the Modern Maker Podcast. Amazing work! New Subsriber.
Thanks man! Glad you stumbled on over and enjoyed :-)
Oooh new Foureyes video AND I Like to Make Stuff video ON THE SAME DAY!!!!
Sweeps Week...not really.
Joe M all we need now is a new one from Clickspring and we’re all set
Excellent project, aaand video, aaand process aaand narration. And congrats for the sponsorship! :)
Hey thanks Cristiana! They were really awesome (and easy) to work with. I have an idea for a collab I wanted to talk to you about. I'll send you an email soon.
:D

Get Hands Dirty narration is horrid
Ahahahahahaha you got good videos too. I'm a subscriber :p
I've watched this movie like 7 times since you posted it...absolutely love the piece and the story...I'll probably watch it another 10 times before you release your next video in anticipation. Thanks again for sharing and telling us an amazing story.
Thanks Pat! Just the fact that you called it a "movie" is compliment enough :)
I finally found the Bad Larry video. thanks to your friend Mike. awesome design and build. and great podcast too😀
Thanks :)
Your attention to detail is well noted. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Victor!
My goodness, that is beautiful!
Is it "What Have You Been Watching Beautiful"?
JK man...appreciate it!
This was great, I have been researching "do it yourself build" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Venoffison Wooden Exploration - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my brother in law got cool results with it.
What's the application that he's drawing?
That finishing is very nice on this waulnut, what is that you are using? Oh, and how thick does that plywood have to be?...difficult to get whaulnut ply around here
The wibe in theese videos.. WOW! Not only are they satisfying to watch, but hell, I could close my eyes and listen to them just to help me relax..
Great job!
Thanks Nils. Appreciate it :)
Love how it kind of fades out to the bottom. Again, a lovely piece of furniture! As a student product design, you inspire me a lot!
Thanks Janwit...I have to say, as somebody who never was a design student, that means a lot to me :)
Beautiful piece - and I like the approach to sponsorship. Informative rather than obtrusive, constant name-dropping for a sponsor kinda bugs me.
Thanks! Yeah...unfortunately, a lot of times that probably has to do with the sponsors. Rockler was super hands off and really just said "do your thing" which was awesome! I think they realize that in the end they get a better product that way,
Seven commercials for Rockler
8 now for people reading the comments ;)
I love you, man. I do like this build. Feels like a piece a lot of you young folk would like to have.
Thanks man! Yeah, definitely seems to appeal to the younger male demographic. Though I did once sell one to an elderly lady in New York.
Chris Salomone Did she live in Cougarville?
haha...I think she was considerably past cougar age. Also, I think I'm past cougar bait age at this point :)
Usually I try to post comments which are funny, smart or just to show how impressed I am, but this vid leaves me speechless. Expression thru designs and work style and video edition. ..inspirational and again-impressive.
Hey Martin...that comment works for me :) Thanks!
The Cubs hat !!! I'm 68 and waited since the age of 8 for a Cubs World Series !!! Plus, your video is awesome.
Thanks Chuck :)
Love the designs and work. Very Frank Howarth style videos in the way you speak, video and edit. Even similar glasses featured in your channel logos. Not a bad thing, I love his style too. I think we all would like to have half his tools. Keep going, we're watching. ~JG
Thanks Jaime. I love Frank's videos. One of the reasons I started making videos of my stuff. So I'm honored anytime we're mentioned in the same sentence :)
Awesome video as always! And congrats on the sponsorship.
Thanks! they were great to work with. Really just let me do my thing :)
A beautiful piece. And, as always, great calm narration combined with excellent music for the purpose. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Andreas!
So glad I found this channel. Your attention to detail is seen throughout all of your work. Great job Chris.
glad you found me too :-)
I love the design of this, Chris! Enjoyed the video.
Thanks Bruce!
Loving everything about this video, from the music, the narrator, and the actual work!
The whole time when watching this video I was like: "Being a carpenter must be the most peaceful and beautiful occupation in the world!!!! I'm probably never going to build a piece of furniture, but I just can't stop watching this video.... the pictures... and that voice!!!" I totally realize that the actual sounds of those machines are probably not that peaceful ;)
I totally agree with Ian Kyle Maturan recommending you getting into producing audio books as well! Besides that, this piece of furniture is beautiful as well!
Yeah, I probably make it look more peaceful than it actually is. I would do audiobooks, but I'm a terrible reader. :)
Watching that cross brace half lap joint come together was satisfying AF! Nice build!
I really like your approach to clamping.
Thanks Wildman!
Fantastic video, production value was great. Narration and music is outstanding....
Thanks Josh
Enjoyed the whole video, but loved what you said at the end about the purpose of our projects at the end of the day. Wise, wise words indeed. Keep up the excellent work!
Thanks Clark. Appreciate that. Others have pointed out that what I was talking about wasn't strictly "form follows function" but I think people still get the sentiment of what I was getting at.
this some cool woodworking, filming and story telling. nice Chris!
Thanks Martijn!
You crush it! Thanks for sharing your passion with us!
Thanks Seb!
It's a work of Art. Right up my street. Wonderful!!
I absolutely love the style of your creations. Amazing work!
Such a beautiful piece of work, there is so much craft in literally every aspect of this video. Story telling, Furniture making, Production and cinematography. A joy to watch! Thanks.
Thanks CLM. Really appreciate that and glad you enjoyed it!
I enjoyed the video. I suggest you try a Shark Guard blade guard. They are a great upgrade to your standard blade guard. It always makes me nervous to see talented young craftsmen with hands so close to blades. Beautiful work!
Thanks Eric. I'll check it out...appreciate it!
“Furniture can serve all sorts of different purposes but at the end of the day the best pieces should do more than just offer a place to put your things or rest your legs. They should say something about who we are and make us feel something when we look at them. In other words, an object's primary purpose or function doesn’t always have to be about maximizing utility, sometimes it can simply be... looking good.” I love this guy.
Sick work and feelin your vibe. Keep doing your thing!
Your creations are truly a work of art and watching you create is like music for my eyes!
Great to see the whole process in-depth
ThanksBadger :)
Watching your videos is a therapy.
haha...thanks Ederson!
your videos are the cleanest that I've ever saw. very useful, informative and easy to understand. thank you:)
Wow, just wow. Really like your video style! just want to keep watching.
Great watching classic videos from Chris. This is still one of my favorite projects you've built.
You sir, are really good at what you do. Woodworking, designing, teaching, music and video production. Great job!
Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks and Thanks :)
OMG this is what I've been looking for in a coffee table!!! , I can't find one anywhere this is a beauty...great job! I want this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I must say, I look forward to seeing what you build. Love the Zen-like approach as well.
Thanks Mario!
Beautiful!
You do beautiful work young man. I wanted to do something like this for my daughters room, but a 3 drawer small dresser. Thanks for the angles.
Thanks Tony - if you build it send me a picture!
Great video Chris! I always enjoy listening to you explain your process. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Hipster Carpenter. Glad you're enjoying :)
This is my favorite piece of furniture ever. I have watched this video at least 10 times, no joke. I love your designs. I also love your video style, it's very relaxing and informative. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Jonathan...Glad you KEEP enjoying it :)
Glad to see you back at it, man!
Thanks Juan...Good to be here!
Man, you're so delicate and deliberate in your work, I love it. It's so damn soothing and satisfying to watch.
Your skills are just awesome! AWESOME
Thanks DC! THANKS :)
Beautiful. I watch your videos like 3 times each one. I’m studying carpentry and when I work by myself I expend hours on it and it’s just something different, it’s like the true love. 😅
Impressive!! Tight work and great craftsmanship.
Nice stuff!
This is the first video of yours I've seen and if the rest are anywhere near as incredible as this one, I think I'm going to really enjoy watching the rest of your videos.
7k views in 7 hours, nothing wrong with that. Great job Chris. One of my favorite channels for sure.
Yeah man...if I can keep this up for the year I'll have over 8 millions views by 2018. I'm not holding my breath though :)
I need to know what your secret spices are so I can follow suit. ;)
I really think the main one is just make stuff people want to see. I know there is a lot of RUclips algorithm stuff that actually works against me b/c it favors frequency. I can't compete on quantity though, so....
Pander to the masses, but of course. Just give them what they want. Maybe I will give it a try, if I can figure out what the @$#! that is. Thanks Chris, I was hoping more for a step by step recipe LOL ;)
You and Colonel Sanders man..... just stingy.
WOW!!!! Awesome as always and always enjoy your videos. Thank you for all the information you provide each month.
Thanks Thom :)
This entire video is beautiful. Audio, editing, camera work, music, and of course the project and finished piece itself. It was like a high production woodworking podcast with bonus visuals lol. Nice Job! Subscribed.
Beautiful work Chris!!
Thanks Josh :)
Chris...just subscribed to you channel, Your builds are amazing as well as your videos and narration, love the mid century pieces you do. I build many things but get so much inspiration from every video I watch from you. Keep up the excellent work and I’ll be excited to see what’s next that I can do as well. Thank you!!!
Fantastic video again Chris and a great design. Well done.
Thanks tas
Chris beautiful work. Also a really nice and calming video. Not pretentious, just honest and pleasing to watch. Thank you
Thanks J! Appreciate it :)
Turned out amazing!
Very nice craftsmanship, and great narration and video editing too.
Thanks MPAAHLPW :)
I have been waiting anxiously for this video for what feels like an eternity! You genuinely did an incredible job and this is my favourite video to date. The instructional about the legs/base was right on point for what I had been hoping for with this video, so thank you! Also, "The Bad Larry" was always my favourite piece of yours, but this one generously takes the cake now. You're a superb craftsman and an artist at its finest. Well done, Chris, and thank you!
Thanks Cameron. I'd say this one is still the "Bad Larry" just with the game upped a little bit by including the drawers. Appreciate the comment and glad that i didn't disappoint :)
Outstanding. Can't tell you how much I love your videos, both the quality of the projects and quality of the videos. Thanks for the time you put into it!
Appreciate it! Don't forget to spread the good word :)
I really like the way you tell the story of the project.
This video reminded me of the whole beginning to the movie SANDLOT. classic lol great work man
