Hey everyone, Zakk Hess from upstate NY!
I'm a GIS (Geographic Information Systems) Manager from 9-5, but I have a passion for woodworking in my off-hours. The dream is to one day take this "hobby" to the next level.
My channel focuses not necessarily on how one should go about creating, but how I personally approach creating. My goal is to handle every project with a meticulous mentality as if the product was going to be in my own home.
I aspire to create functional art that people will cherish for many years.

Is This Live Edge Desk Worth $2,500?
มุมมอง 108Kปีที่แล้ว
In this video I take a piece of english walnut that has extensive cracking and checking throughout and pair it with curly maple and brass accents to make a one-of-a-kind live-edge desk. Video Sponsor: Doug Mockett - glnk.io/9ppp/doublekay-products Product Links: Desk Legs / Bases: flowyline.com/ Track Saw: amzn.to/3qCqYAB Tabletop Epoxy: amzn.to/3Di5oZG Deep Pour Epoxy: amzn.to/3S1ulgc Bessey T...
Your piece is amazing and you’re very inspiring. Thank you for what you do.
Incredible work!! Thanks for sharing your invaluable experience!
Two thumbs - this was truly brilliant. I learned a lot from this. I’m really moved by the fact that you did all this for a noble cause. I hope this good karma comes back many fold your way to keep you and your loved ones very, very happy.
For claiming to be novice woodworker you have pretty expensive tools
I’m not sure experience buys tools, but thanks… I think.
Really a beautiful table! Love it!
Beautiful work! That table is incredible!
Damn great job bro!!
"DIY tray." Proceeds to use thousands of dollars in equipment. I'm out here with Elmer's glue and safety scissors.
You should see my DIY coffee tables
Noice 👌
Black or silver would’ve been a better colour choice
My wife won't let me play with epoxy. Says it smells .
get a new wife- just kidding- tell her it smells when you play with her too! definitely will have a new one then
New wife, or new hobby. May the odds be ever in your favor.
What is that stuff you used for walls when you poured the epoxy?
HDPE reusable mold made by Ahouni Artisans.
Beautiful! You are a gifted artist. Thanks for sharing.
That desk is worth well over $2,500. Nice work!
I admire your craftsmanship and skills!
Thank you, John!
Very nice!
Looks very good
I was very pleased with it!
It is nice, but I think it would look better without epoxy river
An absolutely beautiful statement piece. Whoever ends up with this will be a very lucky.
Thank you! It was shipped off to Canada and hopefully enjoyed for many years!
My philosophy is “If you don’t leave a little DNA in each project you didn’t give it your all”
Quality video! Wouldn't change a thing, lovely work
Very fine work. I learned from your knowledge and skills. Thanks
V E R Y nice job. Excellent, it's worth more IMO
How much did it sell for?
$1500
@thedoublekayway Congratulations. That's a helluva piece you made. You ought to be proud of it.
I'd say that $10,000 is a better price.
Very nice. Absolutely amazing. And absolutely worth every bit.
You really earned my subscription. I so appreciate that you included & explained all the things that went wrong and how you fixed them. It's a truly beautiful piece of furniture & art! And for the record, I thought your camera work was pretty good, considering you were using a camera you weren't familiar with. Thanks for taking the time to make and share this.
to make your temp molds better for release seal wood and apply paste wax with several coats.
Nice.
Dude! Gorgeous piece! Re: your use of a new camera…..if that’s your first attempt your ceiling on video production skills will be as high as you want! Great work. Your narration and description content is brilliant. To me it was very detailed and precise. I like that style of content. I hope your Table generated a lot of money for that worthwhile cause.
When’s the next one? Looking forward to your next project
I took a little hiatus from projects, now I'm finishing up a dining table commission, then I'm back on the YT horse. I'd say expect a video early spring, and then hopefully videos at a more frequent rate after that. If you've ever seen the "chaos" concept with cutting boards, imagine that, but MUCH bigger and cooler. The project will be 1 of 1.
Nice product. Thinking of getting into woodworking/epoxy work myself. Thanks for the inspiration.
Awesome! Glad I could inspire in some capacity. Expensive hobby / business, but man is it rewarding creating functional art.
ABSOLUTELY WOW
Thank you !
That is a gorgeous piece! Great work. Did you use SketchUp or any software to create the design/dimensions of the legs?
I did, yes. I used SketchUp to determine dimensions and splay. I didn't show that part as I figured it wouldn't be that desirable of content for this build, but I will definitely be showing it used in future projects. I often use it to rough mock up projects. Really helps determine what dimensions "feel" balanced.
Liked the desk and the video. Looking forward to seeing more from you.
Thank you! Really hopinh at some point I can publish every 6 weeks instead of every 6 months.
I LOVE this! The table is beautiful, the legs with the rainbow detailing are amazing too - here before your channel blows up I dont know your YT aspriations but youve bought the camera now (great btw) if you get a video out once/twice a month and do a little overview of the finished work for a youtube short that links back to the related build video your channel will sky rocket, you've got a nice voice to listen to, your great at wood working, camera work and editing youve just got to get the content out consistently ❤
I appreciate the kind word! Especially about the skills part. Fingers crossed the channel does take off eventually, but you're spot on, the consistency will be the big thing. Trying to balance personal life, professional life (9-5), and other things, it gets to be a lot to dedicate the time needed for a project and video of this magnitude. I'd love to be able to publish a video every 6 weeks or so, but my life just doesn't allow it...YET. Hoping that 2024 allows me to publish every 8-10 weeks at a minimum. I have a laundry list of great video ideas, just the dedicated time is tough to come by. Standby, I'm trying :)
As a black walnut desk owner, this is a gorgeous rendition of a live edge desk! I'm not a desk drawer kinda guy but really appreciate the thought and quality that you've put into it! Subbed!!
Thank you! I'm hoping to publish another desk video sometime next year, It also has a drawer component, but a different take on it. I think you'll really enjoy that one if you like this piece. Thanks for watching!
Incredible work 👍👍
Thank you!
I like the potential of this channel, so I subscribed ❤
I'm optimistic, the biggest thing for me is having the time to create and record projects of this magnitude. I've got very high hopes.
TRABALHO ESPETACULAR, MUITO BOM GOSTO NA ESCOLHA DO MATERIAL , .AS MADEIRAS, AS CORES DO ARCO-ÍRIS ESTÃO EM DEGRADADO, PARECE MUITO BONITO.. UMA OBRA DE ARTE. PARABÉNS! DO RIO DE JANEIRO, BRASIL
Thank you
Wow❤ I love the table and the base is so much more extraordinary and beautiful than a clear straight version, good choice. You could ask for much more than 2500 !!!!!!
thank you.
Fantastic video! It is so well shot and informative! Honestly, you made it look so easy from start to finish. I know the first rainbow lamination attempt wasn’t what you planned but I thought the wavy lines in there looked like you were on to something interesting. Do you think you could still use it in a future project? This table turned out absolutely fantastic. As I watched the last clips of the final table results I could not help but shake my head in disbelief of how beautiful this table turned out! Man you did great! Too bad this is the first video of yours I’ve seen because I would have LOVED to try to win this at auction for both the looks and the cause it was intended to serve. Bravo 👏🏽 ❤
Thank you so much for the kind words! The video didn't gain much traction until long after the auction had closed, unfortunately. I think in the future I may have to do a "for sale" on my website sort of listing when I have a project of this magnitude. I look forward to hearing what you think of future projects.
This is really beautiful. You did a great job!💞
Thank you so much!!
Thumbs up on Trevor Project!
a foundation that exists to save lives is an easy one to support.
on your bases. No reason you can't sand (and finish for that matter) prior to final assembly. A little fiddly to be sure, but better than hours of hand sanding.
Although partly true, very inconvenient for this operation. With the glue up any misalignment or slip in the joint and it will have to be resanded. Not to mention the potential for sanding the area where the joints meet and compromising the fit...or having to round over the pieces after glue up. I appreciate the advice, but if I were to do it again, I'd still do it the way I did. Order of operations was HIGHLY considered when making these bases.
@@thedoublekayway funny this endeavor. I see it the other way. lol. More chance for inconsistency with varied access to the surfaces. of course we are both correct in our respective shops. Great piece btw.
@@StoneyMeyerhoeffer 100%! I definitely appreciate the recommendation. I like seeing and hearing how others approach situations and tackle problems. I tell people all the time, the “right” way to do something, is the way that works to achieve the result desired (as long as it’s done safely).
Do you have access to like local walnut you can slab out personally from tree removal or buy separate. Just curious cuz the few videos I've just started watching I see you kinda just pull them from like storage corners. So I was just curious cuz I buy when I can but I live where walnut is super rare like 1-15,000 trees in at the absolute highest estimates. Run into the same exact problem with red cedar
I've never showed it in any of my videos (I have showed it on IG), but I have about 6000 BF of wood that I've bought over the years. I frequently pull from this stash for projects, but for something like this project where I was looking for a specialized material, I order it from out of state and have it sitting in the shop until the project starts. Long story short, I frequently buy wood in and out of state from suppliers - I do not harvest and mill myself.
Just saw your video (a year late). To answer your question, $2,500 is WAY underpriced. It's a beautiful piece of work worth a lot more! Great job!
Well said!
YES
THANKS!
How much has it cost for all your tools and machines? Curious cause i want to get into this..
What I have in value today definitely isn't what it takes to do the work, or do it well. I started off with a cheap black and decker drill and a used 1990's miter saw. I slowly built up my tool inventory. I've put back almost every dollar from projects into tools and supplies. If still curious though, I've got about ~$35-40k USD in tools / accessories.
I really like the result, but maybe do not release all those epoxy shavings into your environment next time?
