// ABOUT THIS VIDEO
I've always loved the Nelson platform bench / coffee table. So much so that I actually built one out of LEGO once. Well, before I started woodworking, it was a dream of mine to make one from wood - but as I got more into woodworking and designing, I became less interested in that, and more interested in making something based off of the design. A contemporary interpretation of the bench if you will. In this video, I do exactly that.

Hello everybody, thank you for all the comments. I'm getting an overwhelming positive response about keeping the philosophical/poetic style voice overs, so I thought I would set the record straight. I have no plans of actually changing my VO style. The truth is, I have gotten a fair amount of comments in the past from people saying things like "shut up and let your woodworking do the talking" etc... And if you guys know me, I'm the type of person who likes to reply with quips that further infuriate the commentor. So what I did with this video was said that I read the comments and that I tried to make this video more "tutorial-ish" and then immediately followed that up with a literal poem. My hope is that this will piss off a small handful of the trolls, and really if I can piss off just one then it will all have been worth it :)
But thank you call for the kind words.
-Chris
Your philosophical/poetic style is what gives you the edge over all the other woodworking creators out there (and combined with awesome design, craftsmanship and film making it really makes me excited to watch your projects whenever you post a new one). Please keep your style, it's what makes you stand out and makes what you do special. I haven't even been close supporting someone on Patreon - but since you seem to be such a humble and gracious person I'm actually considering it. Greetings from Sweden!
Chris Salomone The poem after was not lost on me. Good one!
Chris Salomone Keep up the good work, Chris. Your style is unique and what many, including myself, really enjoy about your self.
The important bit is to stay true to yourself, whatever that may be for you. There will always be critics, as they tend to be the most vocal.
Have a great day, Chris!
If this wasn't already one of my favorite channels, this video and this comment would push it over the edge. Well done on the bench/video!
Chris Salomone ..your work and vo style is different.but you get too philosophical as if you have figured out everything in life. so please continue but don't preach.
As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement czcams.com/users/postUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!
I am 65 i have seen and heard a lot, I find your affection for life of great value to young minds, Life is not a mono environment and your mix of mind and wood are of exceptional quality. Everyone is in a big hurry to go nowhere, i find the pace and tone of your voice relaxing, calming and educational thank you Chris
Thanks Andre...appreciate it :)
DON'T Stop the philosophical approach, I think it gives a very unique vibe to your videos.
:)
I watch your videos because of your voice over style, the edits and the peaceful and spiritual feel to it. That's what conveys the passion, and that what engages your audience. Personality, humour, while instructing. Stay authentic Chris, there are a thousand instructional videos out there, but only one that is YOU. Brilliant work by the way.
Thanks Asif...appreciate it!
Your VO style is the reason why your woodworking stands out. Keep it up. Let the haters hate.
Keep the voice-overs, philosophy and all. It sets your videos ( alone with the quality of work) apart from the rest. The philosophy of the design, is as important as sanding, stain, joints or any other part of the build. This is your video, your channel, your philosophy.
ytbrent2 all of this ^^^
Really well said.
Agreed!! Don't change it Chris!
ytbrent2. Absolutely agree with this comment. Keep what sets you apart. and again, Thank You.
Agreed. We can all see what you're doing and you always say what your doing if it's something that isn't normally done in woodworking. I love hearing the stories about your kids or your friends. It really gives your videos a human connection.
Thanks...and don't worry, I won't change. Just trolling the trollers with that comment that is then followed by a literal poem :)
I'm another subscriber who appreciates all the philosophical speeches. Please DO NOT change to drab tutorial videos. Love your stuff!
These videos are a lot cheaper than counseling and a lot healthier than drinking. I'm not even a woodworker and I've watched every one.
haha...thanks Chris - well put :-)
Your poetic style of VO is what makes you wonderful and unique, please don't stop. I would also love to see more of your 'let's design something' videos. Thank you
Thanks! I'd like to do more of them. Just waiting for more people to request help :)
DO NOT CHANGE A THING..I love the laid back , quietness of your videos.
I was just beginning to write a comment about how much I appreciate you sharing your philosophy and reason as you began talking about that. There are a ton of channels with great insight into the build process. Not near enough give the thought behind the seemingly little choices that end up defining a piece. That's why I keep coming back to your videos.
...and then you finished writing the comment :)
Thanks Robert. Appreciate it!
I like the thoughtfulness in both your projects and your rambling. Don't change unless YOU need to. Thanks for your work.
I love the way the shadows fall through the bench top. Makes it entirely worthwhile, imo.
Dude dont change a thing, your commentaries are a big part of what makes your channel one of my favourites, haters gonna hate, stay true to who you are!!!
I watch your videos for 2 reasons, your artistic style of carpentry and your unique style of videos with the poetic commentary. Keep up your own style because that's what draws people to you!
one of my favourite parts of your videos is the close ups of your table saw kerf just perfectly lining up with the lines that are drawn. something is just so satisfying about that every time, probably just the fact that I so rarely manage to get that myself.
haha...thanks! I was looking at my footage for the next video, and there is plenty of those shots :)
the vo was one of my two main reasons of becoming big fan of Yours. for me thanks to Your narration Ur videos really stand out from the crowd of stiff and kitschy diy tutorials. don't let anyone silence the soul that we admire so much.
Thanks Martin !
Your voice overs being poetic and philosophical is why subscribed. I enjoy your videos exactly as they are. Please keep up the great work that your doing.
I subscribed not because I love woodworking, I subscribed because your voice overs are the best of any woodworking channel I have seen. I love how you don't just make the piece and show it off, you try and find deeper meanings too the project.
your philosophical voice overs are what keeps me coming back watching the woodworking is good also ;)
I, for one, truly enjoy your philosophical and poetical moments.
For what it's worth, I like the NPR-esque narration of your videos. It's different and it sets you apart. There's lots of youtubers out there doing straightforward tutorials. It's nice to have something else to watch.
Thanks Skew :)
Of course! Keep up the good work!
I love your philosophical part! I missed it a bit here. I know it is hard to accommodate everybody, but you don't need to, and shouldn't change, just because people want something different. They are watching the video still, so no matter if you are philosophical or not, you provide something special. For me that special parts are: Your design, your philosophical voice overs and then lastly, your nice camerawork and editing.
Don't worry...I'm not changing. I'll just say whatever pops into my head for each particular piece. Also...I mostly did that so that I could immediately follow it up by a literal poem and troll the trollers. :)
@@Foureyes.Furniture Loved the poem saved for the end. I thought it a good reminder of who's content it was.
Please keep the Philisophicalness of your videos, it makes you and in turn them stand out and is what attracted me to watch them.
I love your voiceover story telling. A little tutorial, but your stories are melodic and enjoyable. Keep those up. You are unique and I love that!
Please don't stop the philosophical voice-overs, I think there a huge part of your channel and I love them!!
Ben Lucas dude your profile pic is great btw
Thanks its a fade gradient over the background. i did it in photoshop cc
Don't change a thing, your presentation is different and pleasing. Great work. Great design and inovation
The philosophical wanderings and calming fingerstyle guitar are your biggest distinctives. Please don't lose that and end up blending in with everyone else.
I won't ;)
I have to say I love the route you've taken with your production process. It is very soothing and relaxing and gives your unique touch on a process that many other YoutTuber's have kept a simple approach. When I put your videos on my 11 month old daughter will sit next to me and just chill out and she seems so interested in the projects your working on. She may have no idea whats going on but, I'll assume she enjoys woodworking. Thanks for that and again stay true to yourself!
Hey Samuel...thanks! That's really cool. I love reading comments like that. I think your daughter is going to be a master Craftsman (or Craftswoman) one day :)
I love the way you tell the story. Your channel is doing very well, I don't think you need to change for people.
I won't badger...thanks!
I like the philosophizing and waxing poetic. There's a spectrum with Matthias Wandel, Jay Bates, Steve Ramsey, Frank Howarth, yourself. You all have your spot between straight up how to, and being artsy. You do artsy well. Please don't stop!
Thanks JB :)
The Netherlands here. You inspired me to do woodworking. I love it. Thanks mate!
:)
Greetings from the US
never stop with the philosophy. your videos are so beautiful and calming
The poetic, philosophical voiceover is one of the reasons why I come here! I love the fact you take us through your though process from designing to building to life, instead of just "here is how I build this thing". It inspires me to try my own things, for my own reasons, with my own capabilities and (unfortunately) limitations. But I'm working on the latter, as are you. Keep up the great work!
The poetic aspect is what makes it unique.
There are thousands of channels that just talk wood. The way you wax on philosophically is what makes your channels so unique. It's the reason I get excited when I see a new video.
You don't need to change your voice-over format, that's what makes your videos so unique and great. Love your work!
I dont normally post comments, but felt the need to share in the sentiment that your philosophical voice-overs are what set your videos apart.There are thousands of woodworkers out there talking about how to use tools. I care about the story behind each piece. That is what we all should be creating for.. not for likes but for purpose. Tell a story don't sell a strategy.
Thanks Taurean :)
My wife and I enjoy watching your videos. We appreciate your superfluous poetic banter and musings. Keep it up!
Thanks Dustin :)
hey Chris please continue to put out your videos with your philosophical poetic commentary. my husband and I both love to watch your videos not only for your great woodworking but also for your voice overs, it's great. keep up the great work that you do and don't let anyone dictate how you should do your videos.
Thanks Nan. I won't be changing my style anytime soon :)
Seeing this video pop up brightened my crappy day.
Keep making these videos man. They are immensely inspiring. They've taught me to take pride in how something looks not just it's functionality.
The music, editing, VO, design, all that....yes....keep doing it. Love it. Thanks Chris.
Thanks Nathan!
The philosophical aspect of your videos is what make them attractive to me, that is what hooked me up.
That time lapse with the shadow through the bench, OMG!
Yeah...that was a fun one :)
Don't change your narrative style. I love your thoughts and stories. I do like that you're experimenting. That's how you grow and keep things fresh!
If people don't like the philosophical, poetic nature of your voice overs then there are plenty of other channels they can go and see. Personally I love it and it's what sets you apart from many of the others on CZcams. Don't change who you are and keep up the great work
:)
Keep the artistic narration coming Chris. Your audio and video techniques are what makes you so much more interesting to watch than most other you tubers. thanks
Don't get discouraged, I do like the philosophical aspect of your videos!
Keep up the great work, Chris. I think I've watched just about every woodworking video on CZcams and I am particularly drawn to yours because of their peaceful and philosophical nature. Woodworking is a source of stress relief in my own life, so I very much appreciate that your videos continue that theme for me.
And I'm also a Cubs fan, so that helps too....
Thanks Ryan...glad you're digging the videos.
Go Lakers!!!!!
I mean....Cubs!!!! Sorry Knee Jerk Reaction :)
We like the "poetic" part! My gf doesn't touch a tool hardly ever (by her own choice) but she loves watching your episodes with me! You are insanely inspiring! Thank you so much for all you do!!!!
That opening scene is pretty much my life 😂 And like many others have said, keep the voiceovers. They set your videos apart from everybody else.
yeah...things escalated quickly and the kids really needed that ladder :)
you inspired me to get into woodworking, i started with a jigsaw and a hammer, now my shop is growing and im getting a lot of work, someday not too far ill be a furniture maker... thanks Chris
That's awesome Sebastian...keep it rollin' !
Keep up the poetic ramblings! there are not enough channels talking about design as an idea as apposed to just construction.
Perfect blend of tutorial and poetry. You're doing a great job.
Thanks man!
I started listening to the Modern Maker Podcast and was pleasantly surprised. You guys have great chemistry and there were multiple occasions where your (Mike and Ben's) dry humor or snarky remarks put a smile upon my face!
Thanks Arne! Yeah, we have a good time recording and picking on one another :)
The shot with the moving shadows is truly lovely. Beautiful.
I got it through osmosis from my Uncle who is an editor :)
Nah, you deserve all the credit!
I too like it when you get philosophical and your woodworking is quite inspirational. thanks Chris
The reason why I watch all your videos is, because it's different to everyone else. Please don't change.
The poetic quality of your voiceovers is the main selling feature of your vids. It's why I'm here.
I came for the woodwork and stayed because of the stories!
I honestly have to say that i REALLY enjoy your mix of woodworking and philosophy. Please do not concern too much on those comments!
I don't. I just like to troll the trollers who tell me to shut up.
Chris, please dont change anything. your previous format was perfect. its why i fell in love with your channel. your content is not only really great, your design abilities, your skills, but just the way you present your thoughts and ideas. its all perfect. dont let a few people who arent used to A+ content get you down. there are plenty of other channels out there that dont have this quality. people can go elsewhere if they dont like it.
also, i literally paused the video to write this comment and missed your troll. great job!
hehe....and you thought I was really having a moment of self reflection :)
JK - thanks for the kind words
any time chris. keep it up. keep it real. screw the haters.
You're videos are pure art keep the philosophical voice overs
Just keep what you're doing. I'm willing to bet it's the first reason why people have subscribed to you in the first place. keep up the great work!
Your voiceovers are great, don't change.
My favorite part of your videos is your voice over and the story you tell. Your wood working skill kind of speaks for itself but the story you tell is what really makes your projects special and your channel unique!
a lot of people already do tutorial videos on youtube. I love yours because of the way you narrate things, it feels different.
also, great video, cheers !
Dont worry Chris, i love how you narrate your videos. It's personal, it's relataleable, it's a feature. 👌
Thanks Keith :)
FYI.... I actually enjoy the philosophical commentary... your videos are very soothing and comforting to watch (voice and music) .... Thanks !
I actually love your philosophical ramblings! It's what makes your channel stand out compared to all the others - keep it up! :-)
If I could add, your videos make you who you are. Good job!
Please don't change your style. It's perfect and I look forward to your videos because of your style of commentary. There are lots of woodworking channels out there but your voiceovers set you apart from all of the rest. Keep up the amazing projects.
I won't Allen :)
I like your voice overs. I keep coming back to watch your videos bc I like your production style snd the calmness of the videos.
Hey Chris, I like your videos including the voice over. It's relaxing, calming and saves me from taking my hammock to the beach. Above that I like to listen to the point your making. Please make the videos in your way. CZcams doesn't need more Jimmy Diresta imitators. Be yourself. It's the best.
Thanks Martin!
PLEASE ... DO NOT CHANGE ONE DAMN THING ABOUT YOUR VIDEO'S!!!!
Your style is unique and that sets you apart from the rest, it is one of the reasons I love to watch your channel !!
Keep up the good work.
:)
I think the black inside of the top gives it a nice contrast and plays nicely with the black legs.
Philosophical rambles or not, I like the way present your videos. Your voice is very soothing, just like Justin over at Rainfall Projects. I'll tell you what I've told him: your videos are very relaxing, so much so that when I become a father I'll use your videos as a way to sooth them if they cry.
thanks man. I'll try that on my kid...but I have my doubts :)
Don't change a thing man... Just discovered your channel - and I love it! Keep the poetic approach and keep making the videos - I will keep coming back.
Thanks Donovan :)
Never change Chris, your videos are different and very original. there are plenty of tutorial style videos but your artistry stands out and we love it.
I love the philosophical side. I watch your videos for you. I know how to woodwork and if I wanted to just see a how to I could read a book. Your videos are entertaining. Half the time I don't even need to watch the full video. I do my day job while listening to you talk. Tell people to get over it. You offer free entertainment to them. And it's great!
The whole reason why is subscribed to your channel was the poetic aspect. The way you edit your videos and do the voice overs makes them beautiful, maybe even artful. It puts you in a whole other category, there are hundreds of good woodworkers on youtube, but I haven't found one that makes videos like yours.
Keep up the good work, in the end, this is your channel you can change if you want to, but don't let a small group of people force you to change who you are and what you like to make!
Your philisophical/poetic style is what gives you the edge over all the other woodworking creators out there (and combined with awesome design, craftsmanship and filmmaking it really makes me excited to watch your projects whenever you post a new one). Please keep your style, it's what makes you stand out and makes what you do special. I haven't even been close supporting someone on Patreon - but since you seem to be such a humble and gracious person I'm actually considering it. Greetings from Sweden!
I love your philosophical ramblings.
Just so you know - your VO style is one of the reasons I subscribed. But do you man, whatever that ends up being. I'll still be here. Rock on G.
Thanks Mike...I won't be changing :)
What I really like about your channel is you musing on design. Why and how you make things. The builds are of course just as interesting.
Keep the dialogue going I love it along with your design ideas/philosophy
The philisophical/poetic aspect is what separates this channel from the rest. Dont lose your individuality.
Chris, I love your videos. Please be as philosophical as you desire!
Your voice-overs make your videos relaxing to watch, and I always look forward to your next project.
you are the master of relaxing woodworking video's. Boom!
F the haters man. You do you. Your "philosophical angle" on this channel is what I love about your channel. It's called originality. Keep up the good work man.
Ignore those dissenters! The mix of philosophy is exactly what I love about your videos, and really I wish there was more of it. It perfectly captures what it's like to actually build a piece, sitting there sanding for 10 minutes at a time meditating on life.
I love the internet because it's a place to share ideas and learn about projects and the person who created them. On the other hand, I hate how the internet seems to encourage morons to voice their opinions as facts. Make the videos and projects that you want to make and don't worry about pleasing everyone as it is impossible to do. Do your thing and ignore those who posting comments just to get a rise out of you.
Love your channel!
Thanks Brandon :)
I actually really like how the black details on the top turned out. You may feel that this was the easy way out, but it really sets it off.
Thanks man!
Hey don't worry about people complaining about your style of video-making, it is what makes your channel unique - and what made me like it initially I might add.
Thanks Kasper
Dont listen to bad ideas, you are doing it great as you do! ( media producer from Germany )
Thanks!
loved it. the bench is beautiful, as always and always enjoy the narration. I liked how you said "the haters don't want poetry", then launched into a poem 😁
:)
Glad you were not serious about removing the philosophical/poetic bits. The clean editing, designs and commentary is what got me hooked to your channel. I never comment on your videos (sorry) but thank you for your work. It's always a breath of fresh air when I see that you uploaded something.
Cheers!
Thanks man....appreciate it :)
Loved it!!! please keep the poetry in your videos, I think it's what makes your channel different from the rest of CZcams, and you really nail it with both the pieces you make, and the things you say about them, what inspires us all. keep up the great work, greetings from Argentina!!! Gabriel.-
Thanks Gabriel :)
I enjoy your "philosophical" style of talking. Its what makes you you, and makes these videos so enjoyable for us viewers to watch. For me, your videos are very slow, calm, and easy to follow. No loud noises, it is very calming and therapeutic for me. Whenever I see you upload, I watch. Be you, this is your you tube channel anyway. (:
