I honestly think Dan's channel is a literal testament to working hard to live your dreams. This man started out riding bikes and recording it. He has now moved onto sharing his hobbies and moving forward to continue doing what he loves and turned it into a career. Mad props.
So how are we colouring the wood? Dan: Blowtorch How are we putting reflective tape on? Dan: Blowtorch How are we settling the epoxy? Dan : Blowtorch How do you shave? Dan : Blowtorch How.. Dan : BLOWTORCH!!! Confirmed. Dan is the son of Tim the toolman.
I see Dan's house and garage with all his cars, trucks, motorcycles and other toys, and just can't help but think of it being like a real life GTA garage 😂
Hey Dan work in carpentry and I absolutely loved this, I have on suggestion for you, for when you doing the thickness of the board, when your cutting the boards to length always leave an inch extra on the end incase the planer goes to deep or chips out the end of the board, then once your happy just cut them to length, I know you mightnt see this but it has saved my ass several times, keep her going brotha.
Honestly started watching your channel just for the dually build... but I have found so much more. All your content is so great and entertaining no matter what you do. Safe to say you are my favorite channel to watch now and I always look forward to your new videos!
when using a compound miter saw like that one, you should pull out then down and finally forward. it’s much safer and won’t pull back super fast towards you.
Need to make one for Justin with a light up ACW logo in the middle of the table for the showroom of his shop... that shit would look cool and I believe you could pull it off to look sick!
Janglles the logo could be easy as well, all he would have to do is use the vinyl cutter ( Or a normal printer) cut out the letters, glue them to some wood, roughly router out the letters, then sand the rough edges smooth
Looks terrific! Give this a try if you haven’t already, try burning wood till is in full flames so some of the soft wood burns out. Then brush char our with stiff bristled brush. It gives a beautiful relief effect and it’s a natural way to preserve wood. I did a frame for a mirror and worked great.
Hey Dan, this looks great. I have a question for you. When you routed around the wood and resin for the LEDs, were you able to see that router line when the desk was upright? or was the epoxy to opaque to see it? Thanks!
My high school woodshop teacher would’ve had a field day with you man. He failed basically all of my projects if they had a little bit of burn to them because I like the way it looks and “that’s not right” because I guess me doing what I want with the wood that I paid for for MY project “isn’t right”
That's the great thing about woodworking, there isnt a "right"way to do a lot of things. It's all about the personal preference, I personally love the burnt look.
Hey Dan, dont know if you will see this or not, watched these videos back when you first made them. Yesterday I just started my first attempt at a small epoxy table. Thanks for the motivation!!
@@hinglemccringle5897 wow! thank you so much, this is exactly what I've been looking for, wasn't sure what to call it. I have the whole Philips Hue ecosystem, not a lot 4 bulbs, light strips, and a couple other goodies. And I use them w/ my Apple Home app along with products from Vocolinc, which work w/ Apple Home. I'm honestly not sure how the other stuff works or what it's called but this gives me something to go on. Thanks again!
not a video i was intending to watch, i popped in to see the table and its features and went to leave but here i am 20 minutes later. Are you happy now?! well done :)
Should have ripped the rounded edges on your table saw. Running then through the planer on edge can be dangerous and inaccurate. The tablesaw blade is square to the table top, whereas the planer just replicates whatever the edge on the opposite side is. Square or not. Clearly it doesn't matter for your purposes, it will for other projects.
In the most sincere and serious way, how much money would you ask to make this exact same table, but as a dining table? Legitimate inquiry here. This is honestly the best table I've ever seen in my entire life.
Not to mention profitable for him.. I know I'll be buying some for tables on his recommendation in the future. Always like using affiliate links, spread the wealth around.
awesome video. i was scrolling through the woodwoking subreddit the other day and one comment stood out to me. this guys biggest suggestion for upping your finish quality on furniture was to source your wood from places other than home depot/lowes. he was saying that construction lumber, aside from its inconsistencies, is often dried poorly and will bend and swell more than a properly cured piece of wood from a nicer lumber yard.
i like the desk, the backing tray for the casings was a good call. i've been watching several videos like this and i get a good idea from each video that will eventually add up to a perfect and awesome table. the phillips hue is definitely getting added to my design as well.

Dan your my freaking hero man!!! Seriously everything you do and post I love and wanna do and they way you break things down an explain is perfect makes me even feel like I could do it. Hate you didn’t like this first table but this one is freaking awesome bud keep the videos coming
Hey Dan! Don’t know if you’ll actually see this, but... talking about epoxy...I’m also a woodwork that does fine furniture and I only use west system to fill cracks, knots, and small voids. For large pours like this, use Ecopoxy but make sure to get the 2:1 mix ratio. Ecopoxy is pretty popular right now with large table pours like this. You can pour the entire table in one shot. It’s a slow curing epoxy(takes like 72ish hours to fully cure) so bubbles and heat aren’t an issue. Look up “epoxy river tables”. It’s kinda similar to what you’re doing.
Nice finish man! Coming from a chippy from the land down under, Australia... Epoxy is the bomb, I haven't used it for quite a few years now though. Seeing videos like this makes me want to make something creative with Epoxy and lights...Cheers, Col
The Desk turned out nice, I like the idea of using brass casings that have been shot already. I think used casings are more interesting to look at than new ones. West Coast is expensive, I've seen a few makers use it, but I haven't. I've used Incredible Solution's one to one ratio epoxy, it's like 70 bucks shipped from amazon. I've used it on my desk build which is 82 inch's long, with a 4 inch wide river going down the entire length with Fire Glass as a filler. A planer isn't really meant for joining boards like you did. A planer compresses the wood in one area. Since you have a table saw, you can build a jig from plywood where you use your fence as a reference to cut a straight edge on the board. Then flip the board and run it through the saw again without the jig. When you cut your channel for your led's, you can use a straight edge as a guide to get a cleaner straighter cut. If you want to make a form for resin you can use plywood or particle board with Tyvac tape coated with car wax it works better than melanin, and it's a lot cheaper. I've seen videos of pros use this method to make forms, check out Manor Wood. You used a torch a to pop the bubbles but I'm unsure as to why you used Mapp gas as it's more expensive and burns hotter then propane, unless it's what you had on hand. The Guys at Stone Coat Countertops use propane for popping bubbles.
Great work! There are a couple of things I would have done differently but it is just a question of personal taste not execution. I am inspired to make my own now! Thanks for sharing!
Hey dan huge safety tip when using a table saw for crosscutting don't use the rip fence as the pice can get caught between the blade and fence and possibly go flying. You can set a stop on the fence but there should be plenty of space between the blade and fence. Work safely!
Looks sick AF! Next thing you need to get is a triple monitor stand. You'll never want to go back to the regular monitor stands that come with monitors.

How do you shave?

How..
Dan : BLOWTORCH!!!
Confirmed. Dan is the son of Tim the toolman.
That is badass brother! Thank you for taking the time to share the entire process you go through making the table top of your desk.
You should do one using engine parts! A couple connecting rods and maybe some valve springs etc.
some one on Facebook made a table out of a piston and a turbo it was awesome lmao
Piston head as a cup holder
I was just thinking, take an old old engine block, cut the top of it and the tops of the pistons and make it look like it’s a full engine in the desk
Yep. I'm gonna make one too. Thanks for sharing Dan.
I'd easily buy one of these from you Dan, they look cool, I'd do a smashed up twin turbo in mine ha.

Wow!!!! Very nice!!!! I liked the shell casing idea. It adds a great visual to the lighting effect! Great work!

He attac
But most importantly
He can give your wood a good smac
Looks terrific! Give this a try if you haven’t already, try burning wood till is in full flames so some of the soft wood burns out. Then brush char our with stiff bristled brush. It gives a beautiful relief effect and it’s a natural way to preserve wood. I did a frame for a mirror and worked great.
If u put finishing wax on the mdf board before the caulk the epoxy and caulk will remove easier
That desk is 110% bad ass, love the bullet casings. Your table yells out MURICA!
This came out sooooo beautiful.... Please just start selling furniture 💞😂
Yes I love these woodworking videos from Dan!
Drill some holes in ur table surface so u can drop bolts through to secure ur planer and saw
Looks amazing man, we do custom kitchens and cabinetry and I would love to start incorporating some epoxy into our projects.
Great job Dan!!
Hey Dan, this looks great. I have a question for you. When you routed around the wood and resin for the LEDs, were you able to see that router line when the desk was upright? or was the epoxy to opaque to see it? Thanks!
one of my favorite builds ive seen so far!
I really appreciate your use of a respirator instead of a dust mask cause you got to those lungs healthy for all that dank kush
Right? Lol
Very nice, I like the idea of blow torching the wood.

definitely the most badass desk ive ever seen
I wonder how much this would cost to make it a L shaped desk. Thinking about making my own but not with bullet casing
It's the epoxy that's expensive, the wood itself isn't where the cost is
@@DannyRice01 yeah I can definitely see that. But I have no idea if I want to just do a epoxy coat or so something like what DIFD did the first time
