Hey Chris, just wanted to say thanks to you and a few other woodworking RUclipsrs for inspiring me to make a start on my own stuff. So last week I ordered some wood glue, some spreaders and a band clamp to help fix some chairs we bought that have come apart at the back joints. They were never glued originally so didn't last long, but they're nice chairs. Chair #2 is currently sitting all clamped up waiting for the glue to dry!
Chris, absolutely love your style. So subtle, gentle humour - but the skill and technique really shine through. You clearly love what you do and it really shows. Thank you for producing such excellent content.
Chris, your videos are awesome. I love how you buck the norm of woodworking by adding complex angles to your designs instead of making everything from boxes. I would love to see a video from you about how you find the angles you make and how you set up your saw to make everything exact. I'm a newbie woodworker...
Thanks Greg...I've got a few videos where I go over cutting the angles. Actually, if you watch my recent videos on the Hidden Wireless Charging Night stand, and the Table Saw Jigs...you'll get info for how I make the trapezoidal shaped boxes. As far as finding angles, I like to start with a guess...say 15* (modeling in sketchup)...then I'll just assess what it looks like and adjust from there, usually in 5* increments until I'm happy...and then in smaller increments if it's necessary...but it usually isn't.
Your videos are very relaxing and calming to watch I've always wanted to get into wood building but I've never had the time, equipment, or money to build projects. Yours are inspirating because you go through each step and you make it seem doable.
I was one of the fortunate to take advantage of the free sample of your Simple Finish. I have used it on a few small projects. Notably, I applied it on two band saw boxes and applied polyurethane and four other boxes. The Simple Finish looks great and was complete in one day while the polyurethane took three days.
I like this project but I’m more impressed with how seamlessly you’ve moved into the new space and increased the creativity of your content. Keep it up!
Thank you for going more indepth with the more simpler techniques. It's such a simple concept, but the jointer tip is something that beginners need to hear for sure!
That finish is ridiculously good. I put some on a picture frame with your sample size. I put it on the way you apply glue...thinking it wouldn't be enough. I still have half a sample bottle and I'm very impressed. Hope to have the video out showing it soon...
Nice. Yeah...a little goes a long way. I opened a new can for this walnut bench and put on two coats. Opened up the can again yesterday for my workbench top and looked like it was almost a new can still. Didn't even put a dent in it :)
@@Foureyes.Furniture how's the shelf life of these oil/wax blends? Arm R Seal has been my go to forever, but I forget the Bloxygen too often and waste way too much when it cures in the can after a couple weeks. Maybe it's time I make a switch. Less protection, but easier repair I assume. I can probably deal with that trade off.
Working through the back catalog. I love watching you (and Shaun) work. It’s like zen training. Y’all make complex stuff look so smooth (I won’t say easy) and approachable. Lovely working methodologies. Additionally, I’m so tired of the notion that even very experienced woodworkers still (feel the) need to caveat things like glue strength (we experienced people know this), pocket holes (sick of the naysayer snobs), etc. Dilettante “experts” and their ill-informed opinions should listen and learn more, and talk less. Thanks for all you do for the community.
Love the simple finish! Used it on a table I just refinished and it was like a 5 minute glow up. Hoping more shades are in development, would love to use your products for other projects!
Nice boots. And excellent walk off punchline (and by that I mean a groaner). And homage to Frank. And cool idea comparing builds. Game = next level. Love you, man.
Yeah... but try getting good wine or cheese here 😜 jk. I know it’s different everywhere. Even within the US, lots of variables. Is it just not commonly used there? So it’s just a scale problem?
@@Foureyes.Furniture haha got me with the cheese ! I think it's because usa is the first importer of '' wood pannel '' (including plywood) and the second producter (china got the first). Here it's commonly use as a construction material like osb but as is it most expensive, there is not a lot of sales. Too Bad, because it's a bit of a vicious circle !

How does that song go..."these boots were made for building"? Awesome project and loved the edit, Chris! The back and forth could have been confusing, but it wasn't at all and totally made sense especially with the animation layered in. Never get tired of watching the Simple Finish make the walnut pop!
The kid eathan. I believe you have the first line then it goes “... and that’s just what they do. These boots were made for building, not for stepping in poo poo” 💩
I love the Simple Finish. I just used it as a test last weekend on a wine display (a la David Picciuto) and it worked great and left a beautiful satin finish. I have some hardwood ones that will be finished tomorrow morning and I'm excited to see how it works on those woods. The cool part is I didn't even go into my can; I just used the free sample so I have plenty to use before I need to re-order, which I absolutely will!
Great video as usual! I was lucky enough to get a sample of the Simple Finish w Wax wax topcoat. My application stayed sticky/tacky for almost s week. Then the sheen was very uneven. Would love to compare wax vs no wax and see if it was user error (maybe you CAN mess up w simple finish 😂)
Really? The only thing I can think of is environment??? Mine is pretty much dry enough to handle within hours. At most a day. The other possibility is... did you forget to wipe off the excess? The best way to apply it is wipe it on generously. You don’t have to be neat. Then after about 15 mins wipe off whatever hasn’t absorbed. I like to use blue mechanics rags for that. I keep wiping until nothing is coming off anymore.
Love all your videos! Your narration is always fantastic, and your videos always inspire me to one day have my own tools to make projects. And those boots look incredible, which style are the ones you have? they look awesome!
Hey, nice video! When you are designing a furniture, how do you find the angles? For the legs for example? Or how long the legs will be? Or if you designing and X-shaped leg table, how do you find the angle on the top and bottom cut? Do you design them in Sketchup first? If you understand my question? Greetings from Norway
Hi Chris I am new to woodworking and love your designs, can I purchase the plans for the three legged coffee table and the shoe rack from anywhere?? Thanks Stephen
I love your work, I started to be curious about learning to work with wood and develop projects like this. I have followed several channels, but yours was the one that caught the attention. I have a great desire to learn. Only a question. How did this project start?
Your video is wonderful.I always enjoy watching. I will make many woodworking projects in the future. I'm also doing a woodworking channel. I do woodworking in Korea.
Hey Chris, What program are you using for those animations? And can you import SketchUp models, or do you have to build it separately in each program? Love your content, keep up the great work.
A tip for cutting wood not mdf and things like that. set your blade the highest it will go so the blade pushes the wood onto the table instead of pushing it to you.
I've heard conflicting reports on this. The consensus seems to be a tooth above the top of your material. I have no clue whats actually best though. I would think you wouldn't want excessive amounts of the blade exposed though.
@@Foureyes.Furniture I'm no Mathias fan, but I think it was him who tested this. Bottom line was it doesn't matter enough to think about. For me, the safety aspect of having one inch of exposed blade vs. nearly four inches of exposed blade seals the deal.
At least you volunteered to see your way out. Can't beat having some Limp Biscuit joiner in your videos. And on that note, I too will show myself out the door.
Sort of...I still have my garage, but it is empty. I just moved from the garage to this shop. The footage for these two projects are about 1 year apart.
You could build the entire plywood one out of one sheet of 1/2" baltic birch, which for a 5x5 is probably 30 bucks. The walnut one would probably be right about the same price. You'd probably need 4 board feet. For me it's around $8 a board foot, so that's $32. You would have plywood leftover most likely, where as with the hardwood you typically need to buy more than what the project requires because about 20% could be unusable with knots, cracking at the ends, etc... With smaller projects (as in not a dining room table where you're going to have a HUGE wood top) - so let's just say a project like this...the cost of wood compared to the labor investment is mostly inconsequential. In other words, if I were charing somebody for this, it's going to be $50 in materials vs 16 hours of labor. So the price difference for a cheap wood like pine vs walnut would end up being nothing. Let's say I charged $30 an hour. So $530 vs $500 - this is example costs. Ok...that was a long response :)
Great Project. Just curious why you didn’t just purchase 1” plywood? Most well stocked suppliers keep it on hand, mine also has 1 1/8” euro ply, but I’m located in NYC and they sell allot
I don't think mine carries it...but it also would have totally changed the build process. I wanted to do the whole "Additive Joinery" technique. Adding material to create dadoes (etc...) instead of removing it.
@@Foureyes.Furniture I'm not seeing details about ingredients on the spec sheet, just "natural, vegetable oils"...could we get anything more specific than that?
If you go to the link in the description there is a spec sheet with all the info. Cure time depends on environment. For me...dry enough to start handing really quickly, by the next day, I handle mine within hours. 100% cure is long though. Not sure exactly and depends on environment.
Ok I have a question, I've seen you Cremona, and the Kobeomsuk guy all do the same thing a few times now, which is when cross cutting hardwoods pre-milling, ya'll are using a jig saw instead of a circle saw or your chop saws. Why? (I'm sure there is a good reason, I've just never heard about this choice, but I think it must be intentional since I'm seeing many folks do it.)
I can't speak for them, but most of the time I'm cross cutting it isn't accurate. I just need to roughly break things down. I like the jigsaw if I'm just quickly doing one piece b/c it's faster for me to take the tool to the wood instead of the wood to the tool. It is also considerably less messy. Perhaps if I get a good miter saw set up going sometime down the road that'll change.
What color boots did you get, Brandy, Brown, or Caramel? I'm guessing Caramel, but I'm leaning towards getting the Brandy. BTW for those that haven't looked the prices on these boots are fantastic!
@@Foureyes.Furniture I was looking at a different model shoe then yours. I thought they were all the same material between models but obviously not. My size, style, and material is on back order but I'm okay with that. Excellent price and great reviews. I'm willing to wait for it.
Your quick animations are the part I always look forward to! That and the rest of the video!
I have a little bit too much fun with them I think :)

Probably b/c it was :)
JK!
Wait, do you have two complete shops!?
Sort of...I still have my garage, but it is empty. I just moved from the garage to this shop. The footage for these two projects are about 1 year apart.
Would be interested to know the cost difference between the raw materials.
You could build the entire plywood one out of one sheet of 1/2" baltic birch, which for a 5x5 is probably 30 bucks. The walnut one would probably be right about the same price. You'd probably need 4 board feet. For me it's around $8 a board foot, so that's $32.

Nice project. Thanks for sharing. Next time you should throw the scrap wood through a real basket ball ring at a height of 250 cm :-)
Trust me...if I had one in the shop I would...and our walls would probably be pretty banged up :)
Your simple finish is finished.... Will there be more?
Yes...replenishing and changing our supply chain as we speak. It'll be much more efficient and reliable moving forward. very close to getting there.
Which boot did you get? Nice looking basic boots. There's a pick-up line in there..but I'll just leave it there. :)
I got the captain... I think in Arizona Adobe. When I picked them the guy said they were one of the most popular. I’m a basic boot guy I guess 😊
What is the oil in simple finish? How long is total cure time?
If you go to the link in the description there is a spec sheet with all the info. Cure time depends on environment. For me...dry enough to start handing really quickly, by the next day, I handle mine within hours. 100% cure is long though. Not sure exactly and depends on environment.
You should get an extra like for that last dad joke
I'll take it :)
Ok I have a question, I've seen you Cremona, and the Kobeomsuk guy all do the same thing a few times now, which is when cross cutting hardwoods pre-milling, ya'll are using a jig saw instead of a circle saw or your chop saws. Why? (I'm sure there is a good reason, I've just never heard about this choice, but I think it must be intentional since I'm seeing many folks do it.)
I can't speak for them, but most of the time I'm cross cutting it isn't accurate. I just need to roughly break things down. I like the jigsaw if I'm just quickly doing one piece b/c it's faster for me to take the tool to the wood instead of the wood to the tool. It is also considerably less messy. Perhaps if I get a good miter saw set up going sometime down the road that'll change.
LOL punny... that aside, thanks for sharing looks awesome
I knew that was a rough pun. Hence the “I’ll show myself out”
@@Foureyes.Furniture that made it even funnier

What color boots did you get, Brandy, Brown, or Caramel? I'm guessing Caramel, but I'm leaning towards getting the Brandy.
BTW for those that haven't looked the prices on these boots are fantastic!
I thought my color was called Arizona Adobe???? They are priced really well. And quality stuff. You'll know it when you smell it :)
@@Foureyes.Furniture I was looking at a different model shoe then yours. I thought they were all the same material between models but obviously not.
My size, style, and material is on back order but I'm okay with that. Excellent price and great reviews. I'm willing to wait for it.
Was that a Braid time rewind???
haha...kind of. I love that game :)
