Question --
If black walnut saw dust and maple saw dust and yesterdays coffee grounds are mixed with total boat , are you doing woodworking or some kind of wicca spell ? ? ?
Epoxy and wood , come on man
😥
The wood was more than 300
loved the shot of the little fella eating his brownie, looking at you like you're 'learning impaired' picking glue...yaka
No better cure for insomnia than doing a little woodworking while watching some woodworking. Great stuff Chris!
I really appreciate your opinion on people copying or recreating your designs. Some people tend to have this thought that they are the best woodworker ever and nobody can do what they do. That sucks. Woodworking knowledge should be shared and I think someone recreating your work is possibly the biggest compliment you could receive on a piece.
Not when you're selling those plans to make money. Or someone is stealing your ideas to make tens of thousands of dollars. Yeah, I understand if some Johnny wants to to make a couple of his pieces bc he likes the designs. But not some company. And as for the guy that was selling the recreation of his table on market place for $400. That's cool. He's not making ANY money whatsoever off that.
I came for the woodworking but I’ve stayed for the quality of the narrative.
Yucca ~ I think what I appreciated most was the desk you built for your son
I don’t know about anyone else but I’d be happy to pay $5,000 AUD for the 2nd desk that was made… it’s a beautiful piece of woodworking elegant as well as simplistic minimalist design style…. the craftsmanship is top notch although not very technical it doesn’t have to be so long as attention to detail is spot on….
Love the custom T you gave Blacktail. Fantastic.
Yucca is yucky, insomnia is for me. I had a great time watching this long video, thank you very much. 💝💝💝 = three gifts of platonic love
I’ve always found that yucca doesn’t help my insomnia. That’s why I like your work!
This video did not cure my insomnia...but it showed me a couple of good ideas
Suffering from insomnia myself.. thoroughly enjoyed watching this video.
Your sense of humor and delivery is outstanding... You are a very funny individual.
Will be deciding on a desk here soon, and this video came along at the perfect time. Thanks.
-who knew asparagus had so many family members??

Sitting here trying to balance my admiration between the quality of work, the quality of the video and the quality of the narration. Totally enjoying this!
Glad you and your friend are planning ahead and continuing to support each other through life’s changes. ❤
insomnia!! i enjoyed having compilation playing in the background while im working. would definitely like to see more
This long form video gave me something to do while I deal with my insomnia.
I hear ya. I watch Magic The Gathering stuff to help me fall asleep
I hope you see this comment but I kinda see it as a sign of accomplishment and success, just knowing that you’ve mastered your craft enough that others go out of their way to want to replicate it should/would be a great feeling
Sound effects are hilarious. Wanted to go to bed 18 minutes ago(it's late; the video isn't boring) and can't stop watching/listening. I chuckle every time a new FX shows up.
When a Wood Worker moonlights as THE Narrator lmao. Love your sense of humor. And the fact you just stay monotoned and power through adds that much more comical relief to it. Great job. On both the table and the editing.
Insomnia. That works for me as i finished watching this at 3 am. Thank you for allowing us to sell pieces from your plans. That really helps to justify the cost, which I hope to be able to afford sometime soon! 😊
Love what I’m watching. From experienced to novice you do a really great job of showing what needs to be done and how to do it extremely well. 💯
You’re B-Roll shots of gluing up, cutting, sanding, finishing or joining are done really well except if you know what a pair of retro infrareds cost. And how they are coveted, as well as some of the other tires you’re rocking. Some of us IYKYK. 😊
Thank you for the hard work you’ve put into these videos and the pieces. It definitely shows. ✌️
Never had insomnia but after watching this I can't stop tossing and turning in my bed thinking about how I'd like to make cool stuff like that.
I'll start by saying this video was ridiculously long however, worth every minute. I then want to say that naysayers can go scratch their butts and show their work before critiquing your work.
I know you call yourself 4 eyes but you have more eyes that jerks don't know about. You have an eye for detail and an artistic eye.
I was a home builder that always prided myself in coming up with unique ways to make useful ways to use space. The sad part is that most people enjoyed having but never notice. My work was never as fine and artistic as yours is but like you I was always proud of my work.
I would love to have some of your work in my space.
Heres and idea: similar to how tiktok does those satisfying video overlays while other stuff is playing, you could play your video up until the point where you have to plane something, then run that planing footage in the corner up until the point that you need to do some other long cnc/planing operation, so there's always a cute little planing footage happening that we can look at. that way 100% of the video has satisfying footage alongside it, and we can view it less fast-forwarded
Hey, I Don't believe people say it enough but thank you for all the information. I love to see how and what you're building so I can learn new skills. The extra little sound bits for glue and scraps or cuts were great, I look forward to your next video. My insomnia did kick in, but I was able to watch through my eye lids like you do for the joinery and make the Dominio transparent.
Hey...appreciate the kind words. Thank you. And glad you enjoyed it eyes open or closed :)
You guys do really good work, but props to bro wearing the fire sneakers... i love the 4s too
Insomnia is what I get watching your vids. They're great!
That is a lot of work for the special order desk. I hope he appreciates it even though he had to pay for it. Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all
Insomnia is what I have now waiting to get in the shop and build something. I appreciate your style and techniques…nice work!
Glad you and your friend are planning ahead and continuing to support each other through life’s changes.
This was a great way to pass the night. The yucca did nothing for my insomnia!
Chris, this video is an absolute gem for us woodworking enthusiasts! 🌟 Thanks for sharing these masterpieces with us. Keep up the fantastic work! 👏
You and your work are inspirational. Thank you.
Wow, thank you! Appreciate the kind words.
Yucca and Insomnia is quite the word salad. Fantastic work! Would love to see more details on finishing.
Love my guys footwork!
Offcuts....I love seeing all your designs and how you challenge yourself to do something different! I try to do this also sometimes easy projects and sometimes hard ones. Unfortunately, I work full time as a social worker and do not get much time to work on projects!
What can I say? You are doing a great job both in the woodworking and the videos. Been watching for a long time. Thank you both.
Thank you very much!
That’s some beautiful, high-end work! Amazing job!
All those angles had me messed up 😅 I would’ve made more scrap than finished pieces trying that.
Good stuff Chris. Great stuff to emulate all around!
20:48 Lovin’ these sound effects 😂
That glue can get pretty loud :)
I enjoy your videos and am amazed by your artistic and carpentry talents.
INSOMNIA - Great designs, phenomenal woodworking, and well put together videos. Forget about the haters. They can't even assemble Ikea furniture, and could never make something as finished as even the plywood desks you made. They are and at the world because they can't do it! Beautiful designs.
Seeing Nakashima furniture and your designs, I prefer your designs. I feel your furniture will be collectible as well. I guess I need to buy one of your pieces before they get too expensive.
Your videos are very inspirational for me. Making me better woodworker. You got perfect ideas and good projects. Thank you for shering your hard work with rest of the youtube. Greetings
Insomnia ! Love the whole video!!! Stunning pieces
I love.yoir work. Due to illness I can't go near tools so it's a comfort.
Hi great video thanks I ate my Yuka and it cured my insomnia LOL
INSOMNIA.....Great builds; the re-watch was fantastic.. What a Movie
Totally enjoying your very dry sense of humor. Of course enjoying the woodworking as well.
All my friends and I were 'yucca it up' watching you. Your editing is a real laugh. Thanks.
I'd be interested to see what you guys would come up with for bookcases and/or complimenting pieces to these desks. Maybe you have already posted a video like that. Not sure, but great stuff as always! P.S.. I appreciate how you enjoy the design and drafting part of the builds as well, especially the concept artistry. I, (although nowhere near your level), enjoy that part just the same, and keep a book of all my plans and concepts for future look-sies.... Cheers!
yucca is definitely a yummy snack during a bout of insomnia...
Insomnia! Thanks for the long form video!
My pleasure!
I had an HVAC guy come look at my ac, and comment on how beautiful my solid walnut curio cabinet was at my entry way. After i told him i made it, He said, "you could get five to six hundred for that, easy." I just said thank you. That's a lot of money to me, and most other people too. Why bother telling him it cost $500 for the materials alone.
That’s the right mindset. If you ever find yourself having to convince a client as to why the price is what it is. They probably aren’t going to be a client
@FoureyesWorkshop TY. Your work is inspiring, btw. I've wanted to do a channel of my own, but I think I'd lose my mind trying to record everything and edit it later. So, thank you to you personally, and the other great channels out there, who dedicate so much time and energy to producing all of the furniture porn that you do. Cheers from Chesbrough Cabinetry.
Your work is beautiful! Bravo! - Semi-insomnia.
Well done, Insomniac. Thank you!
Beautiful craftsmanship!! insomnia
I'm a fan of the strung together format for this second...third (?) channel. I work remote and enjoy having it on in the background, kind of like a playlist, but without any extra delays. Also, idk where these over dramatized sound effects came from, but I love it lol
I hear ya...I'm thinking this trend is like the new version of chaining off episodes of the office in the background as you go about your day.
What in the world does 'yuka' mean ?@@FoureyesWorkshop
Insomnia crew 😎
Insomnia. Good stuff!
Wanted some ideas for my wifes desk I'm totally going to get around to making soon... stayed for the Yucca.
That you're definitely about to start! LOL
I like hug you explain things don’t worry about the other jackasses. It helps me to be a better woodworker because you have more experience than I would ever have. Thank you for what you do. I love your work.❤❤❤
Beautiful , love the narration. Brian Erwin NZ
Love ur dry humor and journey of your vid!
I always get inspired after watching your videos and if I was to replicate something of yours I would at the very least by the plans
Thanks brother. They’ll be there for you when you’re ready for them.
You've inspired and motivated me for sure brother.
Great Job. Didn't have any insomnia but really enjoyed these.
Your design functionality is a greeting desk for a lobby.
Beautiful work!
Very entertaining to watch these unique designs come to life.
Thank you for posting.
INSOMNIA
First time watching this channel. Awesome video. Seems like such a solid guy, and im already bummed your duo is splitting up. Great attitude about helping others. Thank you for the video.
Maybe the hater meant 300$a hr for labor??- im just trying to understand how someone could even THINK that 300$ total cost for tht masterpiece let alone say it SMH
Someone who hasn't used real wood and their nicest furniture is handmedown ikea stuff off Craigslist from 10 years ago maybe?
Maybe they don't like desks?
Maybe they had family or friends make stuff for them and either gift the pieces or sold them for discounted rates? 😂
My grandfather made each grandchild a wood step stool. We also had several handcrafted wood pieces in the house, but my parents were very clear that they were both expensive and sentimental pieces to be treated with respect. The cost of the materials and the retail price for the final piece was explained in detail. It would’ve been easy to take these pieces for granted without their teaching, since many were my parents’ before they had kids.
I reckon it's someone who doesn't know what wood costs, and who doesn't know how much labour it takes.
If all you've ever seen is Ikea furniture, then you won't know any better. Both tables are flat and you can put stuff on both, why is one so much more expensive than the other, they might wonder?
Maybe there parents dropped them several times on there head?
I love these desks! I'm planning on building a small desk later this year!
Love the voice over and your craftmanship!
Your film making abilities is getting better and better! Besides the furniture, this is also a media masterpiece!
I can't spell insomnia so yucca to ya. Thanks for sharing. Like your work and appreciate your attention to detail.
😂 dude you’re so funny 🤣- you made my night 😊- thank you 🙏
From the seventh minute on this is Freaking Brilliant. Wonderful mad scientist stuff.
Wood working and whisky,every one has a different taste.😊👍🇨🇦
And different thoughts on how to spell litres
Dosc czesto podejmujesz chaotyczne kroki i nastepnie probujesz ratowac material. Probuj dalej. Pozdrawiam
Insomnia . I bought the desquire plans and built it for my husbands home office. Challenging for me, but it turned out great. Thanks.
Great video, Chris, as always! Insomnia
I think you are so good! Design ! Woodman skills! And last, but not least, your humor!! I haven’t seen your videos before, but I will sure watch more. Wish I was younger, richer and living on another continent. I would gladely be your apprentice for free. I’m so impressed!😊❤😊
I think wishing to be younger and richer is something we can all relate to :)
Nice compilation. A little surprised by the length, but my insomnia won out and I made it to the end. Definitely appreciated the extra little technical details. Well done.
You do great work!
Awesome work!!!!!
Had the exact same thing happen to me when sanding brass for the first time 😂 I think u have to polish it some to see the color, or at least the color on my brass came right back with wear 👍
Damn, that is sweet all your work my God
🤣 Opening the box... i felt that
yucca insomnia - love watching your videos, wish I had your skill and workspace!
Appreciate it. Skills will always vary from person to person. But anybody can have this workshop if they are willing to pay for it :)
YAKA making some beautiful desk. Great vid.
Close enough....thanks for watching the whole thing :)
Yucca make a compilation video about paint drying and I would probably watch it. As long as there's some sweet, sweet post-post-modern design language, floating-look structures, wood grain sexy shots, etc... Cures my insomnia every time.
I'm liking the idea of this paint drying compilation you speak of. I just might do that :)
It was really good to see all these beautiful builds once again even though I don't suffer from insomnia 😉
OK Chris, I'll play your silly little game. Insomnia.
Hahahahaha, the foley work was the best part! Hilarious
Wow totally amazing he said we could build what ever don’t have to ask I totally recommend this channel keep up the good work P.S I subscribed immediately
You do great wor!
OK. Took me about 14 mins, and hearing the story about Sean going back to focusing on his channel and thinking - this is a repost - I am sure I have seen this desk before. And I am sure I have heard that story before… Then when I saw 1:37:00 to go I twigged - this is a friggin omnibus! Now I am stuck here watching this fantastic content for over 1.5 hours. Sounds like a good Wednesday evening after a tough day.!
The parts you think are "rewatched" are often actually parts where most people have skipped over a segment. CZcams just phrases it weirdly. You'll often find sponsored segments to be "most rewatched" for example.
Insomnia…Great video. Bought the Desquire plans and they were great. Made some slight changes because of the tools I have. Really enjoy everything you and Sean put out.
Appreciate the views and the support on the plans :)
