A Weird Client Request

About this video:
Building a 72" Round Table is MUCH harder than building a 60" Round Table. I found that out during this build.

Thanks for watching! I have some important links below:

Omg please get a big banner that says 'if its good enough for carbon racing kayaks, its good enough tables' thats the best conversation starter for the workshop haha

[NicholasNell]

I actually find it quite refreshing to not have any music playing in the background. Really enjoy your videos and think your designs are among the best here on YouTube. Keep up the good work.

“..if the sandal fits” 😂 the Delores cameos are always “Great!”

I remember my grandfather had a very similar gripe with the "lazy Susan" nomenclature as you do, and he made it a point to call it the "round-a-go." My grandmother always used it to display flower arrangements, candles, or other occasional decorations for family gatherings. My grandfather passed away in 2008, a month shy of his 100th birthday, but my mother still has that same round-a-go, and it still makes its appearance at the holidays, beautifully adorned and radiant with memories.

[skittey.]

nothing gets me invested as much as your pieces and calm commentary. Thanks

[BPBomber]

Chris, your talents don’t stop with the design and build. Your video editing and voiceovers are every bit as meticulously crafted as your furniture. Trypophobia.

[X_ThunderBatz_X]

It is a great day when the monthly Foureyes video comes out, absolutely extravagant.

[CroshVine]

26:12 That "Dave's a c***sucker" line cracked me up so hard.

[sleepy_panda]

The router idea works, I use a 3/4 inch plexiglass mount on most of my routers for this exact reason. You can also add handles to this to help with control on wider tasks... Albeit I use it for timber framing, so a bit larger sticks. Love the vids, projects, and commentary! Keep up the good work.

[maneotisgt]

It’s cool seeing you and your wife working together. Brings even more personality to the vids.

[mikoajp.]

That lazy Susan is beautiful too, and on table this size is a very, very practical accessory. They had a great idea to ask for it from same slab.

[twomgwu]

I appreciate that you acknowledged that rockler sent you many of the tools. That kind of transparency doesn't happen nearly often enough and it reflects integrity.

[petrachio]

great as in slow motion bubbles are great

About the CNC dilemma.. I would LOVE to see more CNC content. There is a big difference in throwing a slab on there and watching it do a 2h timelapse and giving valuable information about the programming, feeds and speeds, workholding and other CNC related stuff. Take us through the process! you provide a lot of value with the woodworking tips you share, and I can only imagine you'd do the same with CNC related content. I recently got a CNC similar to yours and am looking to make it a big part of my engineering business (yes I am biased :) ) Unfortunately I have not found a lot of CNC content on youtube where people implement it in a making project like the projects you do. Most of the time its JUST the CNC stuff. I know CNC is intimidating, it took me 3 months of fulltime effort to get everything operating nicely (long story), but its so worth it. Go for it dude! :D

Man... I was just over here in the deepest thought of what I was about to do, watch, or if I wanted to go somewhere. Problem solved right here. Thanks my guy.

[sflaZerne]

I love good wood working, and yours is great. Small request, for those of us that enjoy watching 30 minutes of you crafting a beautiful piece, you could spend a good bit more time in showing off the finished product at the end. Trust me, we want to admire your handiwork.

[KaffeMedBulla]

Honey! There's a new Foureyes video!

[_the_Chad_]

Your comment about the flush trim bit when you flip the piece over and how you can’t nibble anymore… you could always install oversized bearings to take smaller step overs until your finish pass. Just a suggestion from not a woodworker. Excellent video!

What a beautiful job!

I’ve been following you for several months, but I’ve never left a comment before, sorry about that!

I find your videos incredibly entertaining, and I absolutely love your sense of humor. As for your projects, they’re simply amazing.

With my comment, I’ll leave you one unsolicited piece of advice: You’re young, and I understand that moving heavy objects at your age doesn’t seem like a big deal. I’m 50 now, and I used to be just like you, but now life is collecting the bill, and I’m starting to feel it in my back and knees. Consider using protection for your back and knees!
