John something to think about any time you end up with some leftovers of highly figured slabs like this take the time to cut them into blocks that are 2 inches by 6 inches and either stabilize them yourself and or don't and sell each of those blocks for 30-65 dollars a piece depending on the wood and amount of action going on in the grain and knife makers will buy them up or you could even cut 2 inch square by 18 or 24 inches and sell them for a 100-150 dollars. you can make some good cash on your scraps. something to think about.
Was going to post a similar thing. Way too many organisations treat their staff as simply chattel. An expense to be "managed" when times are good and laid off with nary a thought when they are not. I also liked the choice of green. Thought it came out great.
This couldn’t have happened to a nicer gal. Betsy was my contact when I came to the shop for the Shopsmith vid we did together and she was far and away the most organized of us all. Congratulations Betsy and thanks Made In. Scott
You John and your team are such AMAZING! I am so proud of you all for being such sweet, awesome, loving and caring people! This table turned out so beautifully. Thank you for sharing! One love to ALL!!!
She wasn't awkward at all 😂. We enjoyed the real surprise and the real reaction. Your a nice team leader the way you value your employees surely makes me want to watch more
Underwhelming reaction to such an extravagant gift. I realize it doesn't mean she wasn't thankful. People show emotion in different ways. Still, I would've faked it. I know how much it means to people even when you aren't feeling it. Gorgeous table! Such an incredible employer :)
People don't need to look "youtube thumbmail exited" to be happy. Faking is never the way. It shows so much when someone fakes it, it's way worst than a mild reaction
my wife and I wanted to thank you for HOURS of entertainment. I have PTSD and have trouble sleeping, so I fill that time with your addicting content. stay safe and keep the videos coming buddy.

Fantastic job, guys. That came out great. (The subdued green looks better than the more common bright blue in my opinion.) And the recipient seems like an awesome lady.
Not everyone is comfortable being on camera, especially after a long and tiring day. There's probably a reason we haven't really seen her before, she might not like playing it up for youtube even if she really likes being part of the team
I only got half way through the video and I could tell that your design is spot on! I can tell that Betsy is a very valued member of your team. I think she really likes and appreciates what y’all gave her and her family.
I think you did such an amazing job with this table, put a lot of care and thought into it. However, you were more excited to show her the table than she was seeing it… even while she may be exhausted, I don’t see that much appreciation. Everyone is different with reaction, that may be it but this table is a beauty! Great work!
I've been watching your content for a little while now and love your content, crew and vibe! You guys are awesome for hooking up your assistant and making her day even though she was wiped out from work. Keep doing you and stay safe 💯! See you in the next one 😁
For the UV resin filling small cracks. Check out the clear UV resin used in 3d printing, it's way cheaper and thinner. So it'll fall into the smaller cracks that the normal UV resin won't. It leaves a oily residue that you'll need to wipe off with wax and grease remover (stuff used before spraying cars). If the wood is really bad, you can just squeegie the uv resin over the whole thing, wheel it outside and let it set in a few minutes. Also works for bubbles coming out of the slab edge during bigger pours, and bubbles coming out from spraying finish over the top. Game changer.
I found you Channel on a late night TH-cam binge watch 2 years ago I seen you make this absolutely beautiful table and I’ve bin watching you ever since O and I am a mechanic and I love your channel. Iv seen you do so many beautiful things and the pallets you and your team are absolutely amazing keep up all the amazing content and sorry I didn’t do it sooner but I subscribe 🎉
When it comes to the color green, my favorite, it's never the base grass, greenbay, tree green. Something with undertones of warmth. Gold is a fantastic compliment in small doses.
I've never made a table, I've never poured epoxy, I'm not really a 'D.I.Y' person ............... but I always have a smile and watch your videos when they come out. Thank you :)
Hey John!Love your videos!For some reason,when me,my siblings,and my mom's parents were in Clayton,North Carolina,I stumbled upon your videos,and I liked them.😊
As anyone who has been sunburned at the beach on a cloudy day will tell you, UV goes through clouds. Maybe try filling on a nicer winter day and it’ll work out. The UV should still be there.
Have you ever considered taking a slab slicing it in half lengthwise and then putting the two raw edges together for the acrylic I think it would be better than the both sides would actually match better and you would save slabs of wood
I did a green epoxy table that turned out really well - Black Diamond Matte Green mixed with their Matte Black. Much more of a muted green, but works well as a daily driver in the house.
Green is my favorite color, but I'm uncertain about that table. The green looked a little too olive/yellowish. I like Kelly green and greens on the bluer side.
I live in wyoming and am a career Trona miner. I enjoy your channel as it is entertaining and informative. I wish we had a place in this state that sold SLABS. We have nothing here and I am a rookie work worker. Stuck making Doug fir furniture
Just as an FYI...sheridan and Gillette both have a couple of places to get some slab. Look into smaller local mills. You can go cut down your own cottonwood and they'll mill it for relatively cheap. Had some highland juniper that was small but made beautiful multi-slab tables
Blaxk Forest Wood Co does not seal the edges before they pour the resin. They say it will decrease the bonding of the wood and epoxy and will make it easier for it to delaminate with wood movment eventually. They use a cool room with a aluminium cool plate under the form to prolong the curing time so that the bubbles will be allowed to leave the epoxy naturaly and the epoxy to soak into the wood more. Their epoxy usually takes several days to cure just so that the bubbles will have time to rise to the surface properly.
Love the table - crystal green and honey burl made in heaven! But the base, which is also amazing, is about the only black thing in her house that I could see. Maybe think about a re-paint there.
People talk a lot of trash about Cottonwood; but honestly, it can be a damn beautiful wood. My Dad built a king size bed frame with Cottonwood slab headboard and footboard, the slabs have a natural curved edge, so the headboard/footboard arches in a real nice way, and the have incredible wavy grain and chatoyancy in them.
Love that Mappa Burl, I've got some HIGHLY FIGURED Mappa left at our OH mill, would love to forward some pics... Quarter of the price from Gobe etc. We have had some crazy offers but I want it to be showcased in the right video so I won't sell it to just anybody
John I love these videos. Can you do one of these but the epoxy have an ombré effect. Maybe do a blue fade to purple. Or red to orange. I know you and the team can do it and come up with something cool.
Cam at blacktail studios uses some sort of melted wax/crayon almost to fill the voids in those soft woods. He then uses a large flat piece of metal to press it down and help cool it. That way he can come back with a scraper and gently scrape just the wax off without putting divots into the soft wood. He always says it’s very tedious
We all No 5 '2 betsy kick'd john ass !! but this was sweat got love you being good boss xxxx and the boy's would have clue with you keeping them organized

The blade is warping because there are no stress relief cuts in the body of the blade for the expansion. Even the little temperature build up can cause that.

Yes! When you work with a group like that, you need an even keel.
So cool of you to do that for her. Love that you do stuff for your people from time to time.
Very nice. She looked underwhelmed, but being tired does that. Awesome way to take care of a great employee.
Love when channels take care of their own. Shows how much they love their teams.
Shout out to Betsy! She gave me amazing support when I had some challenges in the store. Very deserving of an amazing table!

Probably a good chance she already seen it. You can tell she loves it. Looks beautiful in their house.
That was take number 4.

Cabinet Maker here. Don't use soft filler! Use hard wax with a burner kit, it's easy to mix colours and the hardness will stand the test of time.
Could you explain what that is for us not in familiar with the jargon. Thanks
