ABOUT THIS VIDEO
Today I'm building a piece that had a lot of fun unexpected challenges. I am building a cabinet similar to others that I've built in the past, but this one had plenty of "firsts" and new personal records for me, so it was a completely new experience. So come along as we bend wood, apply veneer, and make some huge tambour doors!

LMAO!!! @ 11:30 YEA!! That's SUPER CEEPY LOOKING!!! hahaha!! I think you can prevent it by rotating the the hose.... kinda like how extension cords can (I think WILL is a better word here lol) get all twisted up and you have to stretch them out and then allow one of the ends to rotate and get the twist out it so it stops twisting up on itself... BUT I'm not sure if it's doing that creepy belly dance BECAUSE it's twisted up and needs to be UNrotated ... OR if you should Rotate it so that it DOES twist up on itself a little bit so that it become more stiff and won't wiggle around as much... But I'm fairly certain you can fix it by doing ONE of these....
But if you DO try this and IT WORKS then I hope you would mention it in your next video, but I don't mean anything like giving me credit or saying my name or anything... just that you solved the freaky movement :)
[EDIT} - ACTUALLY I figured out EXACTLY what it reminds me of... there's a Family Guy episode where they see an ad on their tv for "Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm-Flailing Tubemen products sold by Al Harrington at Al Harrington's Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm-Flailing Tubeman Emporium and Warehouse in Weekapaug, Rhode Island" and that's what it reminds me of..
- I just hope you get that reference lol :D
Not an artificial plant fan. I think it detracts from the piece. The piece itself is a work of art. Nicely done!
The greenery takes away from the coolness of the door disappearing into the void.
Fair enough, I suppose disappearing into a green void isn't quite as cool.
@shaunboydmadethis what bothers me is the plastickyness of it... Filling the void with use-related stuff would make sense, so it's had to tell without knowing... Seeing the rest of the cabinet, I *wood* definitely take it off if it was in my living room :-)
@@shaunboydmadethis **thinking about Homer Simpson backing up into the bushes**
I think doing a moss wall type filling would look awesome
@@lysamerekvart9471yeah, me too. I don’t mind the idea of it but it reads cheap because of that factor.
I really initially thought the full veneered 10ft sheet was unnecessary until you did it. Holy smokes that stepped the piece up. Great job!
Yeah, I was worried it wasn't going to be worth it, but I'm definitely glad I went with it.
I think the open curved end really adds a cool detail. I would leave it open personally. But man what attention to detail in this one. Dope as always
Thank you!
Great cabinet! No plastic plant needed 😊
Was anyone else struggling to think of the word ‘epiphany’ when he was talking about struggling to think of a word? 😂
😂
The way the curved open section combined with the face frame creates a mysterious 'where'd the door go'?' is brilliant. Finally, I am inspired to do a tambor door...
I love it! You also dressed like a plum for part of this video. ❤
And the word you were looking for waa: Eureka!
The greenery is a crutch. I know architects use it to soften edges when they should either own their designs or change them. Love the rest of this case though. So many interesting things to do. 25:30
Fair enough. I'm good with using a crutch. Thanks for watching!
Art channel Jazza did a 'choose your own adventure' a couple years back, I think for the Jabberwocky poem. It was a lot of fun to play through, but a LOT of work for him to figure out all the paths, make all the drawings, upload all the videos, and correctly link them to each other.
When chamfering (the slats) use the fence; set the bit just in front of the fence. You get great dust collection, and it's way safer, since most of the bit is covered by the fence. You also get a surface to press the piece into, so you're not forcing the bit as much. You can also use a push stick/paddle to make is safer.
Yet another great design, presented in a thoughtfull, calm and wellcoming way. Your explorative style, designs and videos stand out above the crowd in the RUclips woodworking space
Really appreciate that! Thanks for watching.
This video came at the perfect time. I'm in the middle of a build myself and hit a bit of a "fork" on what to do next, each with it's own pros and cons. I realized after watching this video that ultimately it doesn't matter, because either one gets me closer to the final product.
I love hearing about the process and how your plans change as problems arise during the build. Your solutions are really good.
As usual, this looks amazing! The greenery could go away, but it's not terrible. I love the organic look. I really don't know what would go in that cubby hole. Maybe a light feature? A stained glass piece? A stained glass piece with a back light?
Anyway, it's a masterpiece no matter what! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talent.
You are a great inspiration to me, that's for sure, thanks Shaun!
Enjoyed watching the process. Great project.
Shaun, this turned out beautifully! Love it.
That is a straight ut wonderful piece! Wow!
I grew up with the Goosebumps books and I loved the choose your own adventure ones they had.
Love the look Shaun, great job!
Quality work, young man. As ever, your design and execution are on point. I'm imagining this being a floating media unit with curved voids, either end housing bespoke speaker.
Great project Shawn! Really like how you come up with solutions when things don't go as designed. Always enjoy your videos! Thank you for posting, EXCELLENT
Dude, that planer tubing was absolutely unsettling. lol
Never disappointed watching your builds, informative and yet entertaining.
Thanks for sharing.
Love this build man. Great job. The greenery gives it a Brady bunch feel.
I enjoy your narrative along with the wood working video
Loved this build. A lot of inspiration here.
Lovely piece, well done.
I always enjoy your approach to design and humble builds. When comparing imperial to metric, I just find metric to be much easier to visualize in my head, especially when more complex divisions and angles get involved.
Yeah, I suppose growing up with imperial makes it easier, but I like using both depending on the situation. Thanks for watching!
Absolutely gorgeous design!! Thanks for sharing your process and teaching us all a thing or two!!
🙌🙌 Thank you!
never really thought about a door like that before, but this is very cool
Very cool. It has a 1960's vibe to it. I can imagine something like this being built in the 60's, but it would be made out of plastic.
All in all.. great work.
Another great adventure caught on video. Thanks for providing the inspiration!
Looks great. I really like the aesthetic of the tambour doors behind the face frame
Morgan Donner (mostly sewing related channel) made an absolutely amazing “choose your own story” video a few years back.
amazing as always, Shaun. Can't believe how well that veneer blended.
I love seeing other woodworkers make the same exact mistakes that I would make. It gives me peace. Great job! I think if the greenery was real, it would look better.
Nicely done love it
If dimensions are NOT in metric I usually skip a video unless they're really great projects and people producing the video... Like you!
Happy to hear that! And honestly that's why, for the most part, I try not to even mention specific dimensions in my videos.
Unless you’re using plans I don’t know why this would even matter.
Great build and design
Excited for the new project!
Appreciate it!
Thanks for sharing 😁
Always enjoy your builds, Shaun. Lots of great builders around, but rare to find both the design & build components like this. That's a really pretty piece of furniture.
Really appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
What a story teller
Turned out great, Shaun, even the plank and slide at the end. My only disappointment was that you weren't using one of Chris's pencils.
Bill
Excelent. Congrats.
i love this furniture ! well done
Thank you!
Shaun, thank you for always showing your creativity and willingness to create. You truly are inspiring me to become a better woodworker and take more risks. You make incredible things! Love your channel and the foureyes channel. Keep up the good work
Really appreciate hearing that and glad I can provide a bit of inspiration. Thanks for watching!
Honestly, between you, Chris from FourEyes and Jason from BourbonMoth this week has really been Rogue Router Week.
The design is really nice. The build presentation is fantastic. Also I feel your encouragement to try something new in all your videos. Thanks.
With all the different thumbnails and titles, I have to watch now! Thanks, Shaun for always being the man 😎
Excellent video as usual. And watching that bandsaw have no drift is stupid satisfying haha
Very cool! May I ask what finish you used to make it look as natural as possible?
15:34 When you're yelling "epiphany" at your phone...
😂
Eureka, that's the words you're looking for to describe the moment where you finally figured how it's done.
When using a vac bag for forming, try using material to direct the air flow to where you want it.
Wow nice Work
Beautiful.
Contact adhesive and veneer, plastic laminate like Formica, several other sheet adhesion exercises: been doing for 55 years on and off. Never had a problem except... make sure there's a lot of air flowing through the room and the adhesive is dryer than tacky - hence your sticks were doing it right but a roller to rub down each section before moving to the next stick. Lovely project, well done
That piece is dope. Right on just leaning fully into the organic curves.
Thank you! I didn't really set out to do that, but I'm glad it happened in an...organic way.
I love this whole build man. Personally love plants with wood. It makes everything feel very homely or cozy.
The veneer was glued on so perfectly you dont even see a seam on the roundover. Really nice work. Im usually not a big fan of roundovers. I like more angular shapes, but this build looks perfect with them. Good call on that face-frame too, the tambour dissappearing behind them looks neat.
Really appreciate it! I agree on roundovers, when they are used in specific situations where it makes sense, they are great!
Love the design and especially the rounded front. Did you secure the fabric with just glue?
I really like the direction you are taking your channel. It's refreshing. Are you going to have this project as a course?
Happy to hear that! No course for this one, we are working on some other stuff right now, and will hopefully be back to making new courses soon.
Definitely inspired me. Have curves on both side and put speakers in it for a record cabinet.
That would be cool!
I like the green aspect, but the plastic ivy doesn’t quite do it for me, but I guess we all have to choose our own adventures
I think you are very skilled and made some amazing decisions with this piece - that 10ft veneer obviously took so much extra time but it levelled up the piece in a way I just wasn't expecting. I don't like the plant - but only because it feels like a symbol of your own security and you are way above that. Seeing the door disappear because you are a craftsperson who is able to use your skills to create such an effect didn't need hiding. But, if you like it and it was a decision you were proud of, then own it. Thanks as always for sharing :)
You had me up to the green. Overall nice piece of furniture
11:25 Another Earth is a very underrated film. Glad to see it getting some love in your shop!
Always dig when people recognize that poster!
A very unShaun type piece but I like it. I have never been brave enough to try tambour doors, but have always loved the roll top desk they suggest. Good video
Geez Louise... pick the greenery or not. But the build? Geez Louise it was incredible.
cool job!
Beautiful, and you could take a nap on it. Excellent work as always, Shaun. By the way, I see some comments that don't like the greenery, and came back to say is a nice touch, and I wish it could be natural. I love it.
Thank you! I figured it would be split on whether or not people liked it, but I won't lie, I'm a little surprised it's almost unanimous that people don't like it. Glad to have a vote go the other way!
I saw someone do a "CYOA" style RUclips video, and it was pretty complex, but they also did it a decade ago, so... maybe it's easier now? Basically there's the "Start" video, and at the end the scene has links out to two (or more) hidden videos with the next part. I think that I was 8 videos or so deep when I finally got AN ending, and because my previous choices were hidden videos, I had to start back at the beginning to see other branches. You'd likely have to upload the videos in reverse so you have the URLs for the next parts, but something like building a piece of furniture means the end result would still be a linear video, just watched in a different order, so likely far less work than an entire CYOA book.
Oh, and this was a pretty awesome cabinet. I remember my dad had a tv stand with those kind of doors after my parents split, but his was just a cheap ikea-quality design that didn't last more than a couple of years. I'm not sure if I like the plant on the curved end, but you do you.
Yeah, I remember a few people trying them way back. Not sure how well they would do now with the current algorithm, etc. Thanks for watching!
What a great video. Really got me hooked since the beginning. Plus i relate to having my project car in the shop 😂
Happy to hear that! Also, my condolences for also having a project car in our shop.
Another great piece of artistic content. When I saw the alert, I wanted to watch it immediately but waited till I got home so I could see it on the big screen. Btw, what planer jointer combo are you using?
Really appreciate it! Though the idea of me on the big screen is a little concerning.
It’s a Felder AD741 (I think that’s the right number) and it’s a great machine.
@@shaunboydmadethis it’s only a 70” TV but when someone puts a lot of work into creating content the way you do, I want to appreciate the hardwood the best I can.
Even my wife, who’s not into woodworking, enjoys the way you narrate ☺️
Love the piece!! I'm personally not a fan of the greenery, so I wonder if a cap behind the faceframe with a geometry pattern in it could work? Add some of the brass into that cap in some way?
"Also, does this creep any one else out?"
I just started to laugh my ass off.
But I get it though. That was a weird movement. :)
I like the end space, but I think I would add some dark mesh that I can mount a subwoofer in. Kinda like an added speaker storage taht blends in with the piece as a whole.
The organic shapes of the frame, the stripes on the doors, the round part on the left and finally the green element fundamentally reflects the basis of biophilic design. Research that, will pay off. Perhaps we are talking about the beginning of a family of objects. It would be interesting to consider a set for a biophilic mood. As always it was spectacular. 👌 Congratulations
15:30 Eureka moment! FYI...algo is weird lately. Just suggested this video 8 days after you published. Glad I didn't miss plum on plum. Love the piece...not so much the greenery. Looking forward to the next one!
Thanks for sharing, I always enjoy your videos! Every time I see someone cut veneer on a band saw makes me sad that my band saw is not capable of that! Needs a major tune up to be that good!
It's certainly nice to have the capability to cut stuff like that! Thanks for watching!
Eureka moment! Great vide😅. I enjoyed it. Thankyou.
Wonderful piece - and the long veneer was a nice touch. Greenery? Er ... not so much.
Wonderful build. I hear you on the application of finish. I’ve been putting off applying finish to an acoustic guitar build for a long time. I think it’s got something to do with how the finish accentuates mistakes or maybe I’m just enjoying the build to much. Take out the plastic leaves. They detract from the piece.
I think I agree with the consensus, not a huge fan of the greenery. I think the empty space creates a really cool effect at the end of the tambour door. Overall, very impressed by this piece and think the veneer and roundovers brought it together incredibly well. Very nicely done!
OK, I am seriously loving this one. Took me some time to process, but I am entirely on board with this. (Well, almost entirely. Gonna have to figure out a different use of that curved section when I shamelessly copy - OK try to copy - this design.)
Easy build. It would be fun to see the door close from the opposite side and shaped to the curve of the cabinet
Amazing build. Style is level 10, skill level 10, greenery, level -1. Well done.
I want that desk and even though I don't live in SOCAL...I'll find a way...
This is fantastic. Personally I would have used the void to create some cool hidden lightning and leaning into it voidness, but that doesn't take way how beautiful the piece is
Thank you!
I'd ditch the greenery too. Really cool though, and I especially like the face frame. Keep pushing your boundaries, it's seems to be working well for you. Oh, and the hose...kinda mesmerizing.
awesome skills
Do you have a link to your vacuum pump?
I’m in the process of switching (or at least using it more) to metric. I’ve got a tape measure that has both and I just bought some squares that are metric only. We’ll see how it goes. I’m liking it so far, so I think I’ll keep inching my way towards it…
Yeah, I use them somewhat interchangeably, though I use far more imperial on a regular basis. Nice to have an understanding of both, for sure.
I'm French, born and bred on metric, and couldn't even understand why imperial existed. Then I lived for six years in Ireland, where I had to buy stuff that was measured in feet and inches by cm. Yes. 2ft8in by 103cm.
I also learned that if I ask an Irish person to show me "a foot", they'll spread their hands apart, for "about this". And if I ask a "metric" person for 30cm, they'll do more or less the same.
On a daily basis, what matters is that you know how tall / long / heavy / small "a thing" is, regardless of its measurements religion.
When it comes to maths, though, metric wins ! Add a zero, move a coma, count on your 10 fingers (sorry, doesn't work for most woodworkers...) :D
But I love the idea of inching towards metric ;-)
@@lysamerekvart9471 It's super easy; not involving any fractions.
I missed what you did for stopping things sliding back, but my first thought was to a lip to the bottom and to the shelf, just to save on the amount of wood.
But on the other hand, a full back panel hides the tambour completely, so it has its advantages also
It didn't make it into the video, because we wanted to get the cabinet into place before deciding if we wanted shelves. We ended up going without shelves, so I'll just add a thin back panel to block stuff in the cabinet from hitting the tambour doors.
un lujo !!!👍👍
You can just use head object on the vaneer seam since it was to large for your vacuum bag.
the Bandersnatch of woodworking, fun! ;)
Haha, exactly!
15:25 I believe the word you were looking for was epiphany. Great vid love the build 👍
Oh boy, just go to the end
Haha, you're the first person to suggest epiphany, then realize I say it at the end. Thanks for watching and making it all the way through!
