A Company Stole My Design... and Started Selling It

Thank you for watching everybody. Hope you enjoyed. I decided to blur the images of the other piece. People were reverse image searching and finding and messaging the company. I stand by everything that I said and I believe I gave the most honest and factual account of what happened as I could. But like I said in the video, I don't wish them any negativity. I purposefully did NOT say their names, so my hope is that this will help to keep their anonymity. One other update... they've decided to stop selling the piece. That was their choice.

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!

I love "flaws" in real wood. It's a reminder that this material was once a living thing. It makes it unique and beautiful, in my opinion. I'm glad you decided to leave the bark inclusion intact.

I've always loved the word pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. It's truly splendid. I love how the bark inclusion is featured!

“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!

What a splendid design! 🤫

"For the record" was a splendid way to end the video. This was the first video of yours that I watched. I guessed over so I subscribed and liked. Wonderful designs, workmanship, and narration.

Bro, I clicked the video just to know the design but watched the whole video because it was so satisfying, calm, and creative.

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!

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

The fact that you chose not to be bothered by it, inspires me. What you said about choosing to continue your own development rather than hindering someone else's is the best call anyone could make. Choices like this got you where you are now. Im a long time watcher and i learn a lot from your designs. If i might offer a lil piece of advice: instead of screwing in those two small pieces to keep the drawer from tipping over, you could have placed just one piece on the top-back side of the drawer. And it would interact with the divider that is just above. The two pieces are visible under some angles and could take a lil bit away from the very well thought off design. Wish you all the best man, good health for you and your family ! so you may continue this wonderful journey you have :)

This is the first time I have watched one of your videos. Your work is superb. My son asked me to make a cabinet for the stereo system he inherited from me. I told him I don't have the proper woodworking setup to do that. He said "It's just a box with shelves" To which I replied "A box is really hard to do right". I mean, I don't even have a pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis to begin with.

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

Congrats on being tossed into the algorithm, it finally came my way. Splendid! I used to build custom cabinetry which often included "stuff" cabinets like this and I notice a lot of woodworkers on YT just love doing everything in solid wood regardless of how big, heavy, slow, EXPENSIVE, and sensitive it is. We built nearly everything out of veneer plywood and "surrounded" them with solid end panels to cover the exposed plywood edges and give it the appearance of being crafted from entirely solid wood. It made builds far cheaper, lighter, and with lots of clever little tricks it would look indistinguishable from a completely solid piece. And for dividing interior panels like that, rather than going through the effort of dadoing the interior of the box and cutting a tongue in the divider, we would use these thick sturdy lightweight wires that could be tapped into holes that were drilled into the interior, and would instead run a dado on the top and bottom of the divider that was slightly thinner than the thickness of the wire. The divider would slide in from the front and I tell you it, those dividers did not wobble in the slightest, and there was no time wasted with precise tongue/groove routing; just a square line, some quick holes along it, wires tapped in, fast dado on the top and bottom edges, and slide in. Bam! But, with plywood as a skeleton, we didn't need all the wood joinery tricks, and I know at the end of the day that seems to be the draw of YT carpenters; employing those tried and true old-school tactics with modern tools to craft something tangible and unique. Learn something new, make something that's hard to find at a store or from a larger company, and show off the work proudly. I guess this is a long way to say I guessed over 275lbs. With two 5 foot boards of what looks like 1" thick solid maple, 2 end panels the same thickness, 3 dividers @ 3/4" or so, and an entire drawer of solid maple, I was sure that console weighed closer to 125 lbs and I overestimated the weight of the records as well. Excellent work and glad to see carpentry staying alive

This was a splendid build not affected by pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. I don't even do woodworking but I do enjoy watching your videos. I'm sure the new owner of this piece is thrilled with the details & quality. Thanks to you & Delores for sharing. Best to you both.

I think this is my first video about woodworking that i did not skip 1 sec. of. It was SPLENDID. i loved it!

"for the record" that pun was splendid, just splendid. The way you treated the design inspiration was very good of you, and your point about bettering yourself and not wasting more time on that is something to strive for. Keep up your amazing (Splendid) work.

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.

This is a splendid video. This is the first time I have found your channel, the vibe is so chill I love it! The animations that help explain the piece, the whole process of making the piece. With the commentary being interesting, switching from explaining the piece and to related stories that really help keep attention and feel more like entertainment rather than a tutorial. Absolutely splendid.
