Not a lot of youtubers are able to capture the pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis of the woodworking process. That's why your videos stand above the rest. Splendid.

Not gonna lie: I clicked for the drama. I stayed because of the woodwork and calm voice. I’m coming back because of all the wisdom sprinkled throughout the video. I’m subscribing because I lost a bet. You’re splendid!

splendid, really. had to rewatch the end a few times, because as a record guy I was distracted by the audio equipment and missed how the bark inclusion turned out.

This is a splendid video. I've got a terrible toothache right now, and the dentist isn't open till Monday. A relaxing, satisfying build video is exactly the kind of distraction I need.

“I’d rather progress myself than spending time holding someone back… the new version is better than the original.” Some great life lessons in there, Chris. Thanks for the video!

Can I just take a second to appreciate not only the fantastic woodworking, but the SPLENDID cinematography that goes into these videos? It's truly an art, and a pleasure to watch!

Iunno, I do think it's a good thing. As you said, you do one off stuff and they're doing production work on pieces inspired by your original design. They're legally obligated to do nothing and if they did nothing, there's the inevitable confusion about who copied whom. Them crediting you with the design inspiration clarifies any confusion and to some degree lends credibility to your brand. If they sell 100 or 1000 pieces it's not a stretch to believe that at least one of those customers, might see that and think, "maybe I do want a custom one off piece from the person that created the design from which this piece was inspired".

I don't usually watch woodwork videos, but I'm glad youtube recommended this to me. It's so therapeutic! Splendid!

What a splendid design! 🤫

Two things I learned from watching this video: 1. Creativity and Copying can go hand in hand 2. Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovocanoconiosis is the longest word ever to be published in the oxford dictionairy What a unique combination of information with varying practicality. Keep up the good work, it's splendid!

just wanted to hear the story and got a lot more out of this video than i imagined. exactly the type of youtube i love. I hope ur life stays blessed.

I enjoy woodworking but do it only when I "need" to. My passion is metal working though. (have vintage Atlas lathe, and small vintage Atlas mill). How about a video of making a Brass Chunky??? Please, PLEASE? Also, as someone suggested these "chunkys" would be great as gauges. Verify one side is exactly .5 and lazer etch a ruler on it (my preference is in 1/10 increments). AND, a 3/8th version would be great! you could sell them as sets too!!!!

Spendit work! "Progressing myself rather than trying to hold somebody else back" -Foureyes. Love this!

What a splendid video. Just to confirm, I am female 80 years old and don’t even know how to hold a saw. But I seem to find an unusual pleasure in watching somebody make something that is quite very possibly something I would use in my own home, but am incapable of making myself The design and build process has always fascinated me, and watching how people come to the conclusion is a fabulous thing to know. I think the word you wanted that was seven-hundred letters long was substituted by the word splendid if not, don’t worry, I did watch to the end and I guessed under as far as the weight goes. Have a wonderful day.

First time that I'm watching one of your splendid videos. It is very well thought, well filmed, well narrated. I really liked how I spent that last half hour! Thanks!

Your scripting. Your story arc. Your videography. The timing of your voiceover. Your design aesthetic. Your craftsmanship. Your humour. The denouement of your video... and the button you put on at the very end. So damn satisfying. You've got it all going on, Mista Foureyes. Not gonna lie: I'm envious of your skills. Supersplendifoscopicalicious!

I watch hours of YouTube woodworkers build furniture. And you’re one of the few that actually make beautiful art out of wood. As an Art Teacher and furniture maker, I really appreciate the style and quality of your work both as a videographer and as a designer/artist. Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

Thanks for another Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis video. I am at the very beginning of my woodworking journey, and your videos teach me a lot

I'm old, female, and an artist, but I have no idea or equipment to do splendid woodworking like you. So....I just thoroughly enjoy your videos.
