Those are the best waves I’ve ever seen! Ever. Ever, Ever! I’ve been all of TH-cam, been to craft fairs, etc… These are the BEST!
Great video. Not sure if anyone has said it before, but just a suggestion. Fill all knots and cracks with epoxy resin til flush with the top first (may take 3/4 times to fill them), to eliminate bubbles, then your top coats. Will save you time and money, as you're not going to use as much top coat finish
Quick burst from a torch eliminates bubbles.
Yeah if he'd sealed to holes before pouring the bubbling wouldn't have been an issue.
i was just about to say the same thing! he could have cut his time and material in half if he sealed the holes and cracks first
Now I know why it’s so expensive to buy one of these tables. WOW, so much time and materials go into making one. Thank you for this video of information. 👍🏻
Totally agree. It’s been a real eye opener 😊
Great comment! Thanks for taking the time to drop such an epic comment! Makes all the hard work worth it!
Love your product and company
I like how you can see the last coat wasn't enough and that's why it has the wavy finish
8:20 This is why metric system is great. Everything is multiplied or divided by 10. No websites needed to calculate.
Agree!!! Silly founding fathers! We need to change it
That's beautiful man brings tears to my eyes.
very great at what y’all do.. Thanks for taking the time to explain.. Step-by-Step on How to D-I-Y! 🤝🏼🇺🇸
I've watched tons of epoxy table videos out there and this is by far the most detailed and explanatory video there is. Great job guys and THANKS!!
In which case you have clearly never watched Blacktail Studio..Cam goes through every little detail meticulously, and places great emphasis on what will happen if you skip any steps. Nothing leaves his workshop unless he is satisfied that it is as perfect as possible. He even does master classes you can attend for first hand experience.
This guy screwed this project up big time by not sealing the wood before pouring..the product isn't that great either, the top coat mixed up far too thick for this type of project, epoxy should always self-level.
Aged black walnut with a river in my favorite shade of blue; I ❤it!
Great work!.. I think this is one of the best explained video for epoxy woodwork, step by step, thaks a lot for the sweat and time you put it in!
OH MY GOODNESS 😂😂 I caught myself holding my breath during sanding!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's insane how much you and Mike sound alike. I've always loved the energy your family possess.
What happened to Mike? I haven't seen a video with him in forever.
@@ryefry Mike has moved on to explore different business ideas. He's got a passion for photography, so he's done some pretty sick under water shots with sharks and other marine life. He's a body that won't stay still, and he's good at anything he touches.
@@Mrsunshine1234 thanks! I was hoping you'd reply.
I saw another epoxy pro work with wood…he painted the wood with a thin layer of epoxy before laying it and pouring. He explained doing so stopped the wood from releasing bubbles or soaking up the epoxy…just fyi.
Piece looks great. I’m totally inspired.
I just watched this. Absolutely beautiful and informative.
Question?
Can you do the support beams before pouring any opoxy?
Epic piece Mitch! Love how you showed the step-by-step process.
Thanks!!!
Thanks for stopping by!
Nice job. Im getting ready to do my first. Going to start out small, see how it goes. Doing alot of research. 👍
What a beautiful product. I just hope no one looks underneath the table 😂😂 otherwise, the top was very well done and it’s a super informative video. Well done!
Absolutely stunning!!! I love river tables and that one is epic!!
No it's not he didn't even use enough so funny 😅
Beautiful and Amazing table love the color
Blacktail Studio. Stone coat does a very good job though.
Ah Mitch, this is incredible! Stunning! I appreciate all the knowledge you share with us in this industry! Priceless! ❤️
Thanks!
Excellent video thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, Beautiful work...
Truly Inspiring, I'm just starting with epoxy. 👍🏼👍🏼
Pro tip. seal your knots and cracks before you do seal coats. Saves you a ton of time. Just keep pouring epoxy, or CA glue if small enough, into the hole each day until it fills. If you catch pin holes in your clear seal coats, like at 40:34 , use clear CA glue to seal it and you wont have to deal with any more potential for air.
Have you ever tried or considered using a couple coats of a clean sanding sealer on the wood to seal it and decrease the bubbles coming from the wood.
Maybe a drop of superglue to seal the pin holes?
Shhhhhh don’t tell no one, how do you think they will sell you more epoxy? Put it on… sand it down. Put it on….. sand it down. Put it on….. sand it down 😅 you pay for each time 😂
I’m not trying to be mean, but I saw other videos how they teach you seal it on the very first time so no bubbles comes up
Thank you so much for the explanation and information. About 5 minutes in, unrequested, I subscribed. I can't wait to watch more from your channel. (P.S. loved the table)
Absolutely beautiful! I was wondering what will you be using for legs? It'll take something pretty solid to hold up all that weight
if you have a small leak cant you just spray it with a accelerator?
like catharizing a wound
does stone coat countertops have wood grain epoxy or something along those lines? I can't believe epoxy can make realistic stone the way it does. I would love to see some kind of rosewood or exotic wood recreated with epoxy if that's even possible
Truly gorgeous!!
Words really can’t explain how Stunning this table is ❤❤ !! I now understand why river table are so expensive. Thank you for the videos on how to make a river table & other projects
Thanks for the nice comment and being a subscriber for over 5 years!!!! U GOT THIS, can I send you a Stone Coat hat?
Great information guys thanks. God bless.
Fantastic! Can't wait until my White Oak slabs have seasoned! lol
Looks very beautiful keep up the good work
Solid content pal.... Talking your way through the process is a bonus.
With my many years in the sewer and drain business, I might suggest using the wax from a Johnny ring by taking a little scoop out with your finger to stop a slight leak in the epoxy. I'd be curious to know how worked for you.
This turned out beautiful! ❤
Gorgeous massive piece!! 💙 No shipping added to the cost of that table!! 💵 How does it compare to the granite countertops you used to install? Got a good chuckle out of sawsquatch!! 🤣 So fun to work on a piece of art!! 🤗
Always good seeing you in the comments!!!! Can I send you a Stone Coat hat?
@@StoneCoatCountertops Sure
Jaw dropping.. WOW!!!
This was absolutely awesome !!!!
Now that's great workmenship
Wow this is a lot of work lots abd lots of jours congratulations it looks awesome
on what channel ... to much work money lost and the table is ugly
Absolutely beautiful ❤
Shoulda went with a monocoat type wood finish so you can actually feel that beautiful walnut! That sensation of touch is a vital one. We don't always want to feel that plastic coating over wood. Some would argue it's such a travesty... I think I have to agree. LOL
Great video and information. Got a question - after the final flood coat on the top it shows drips left over on the bottom edge. You don't show how you got rid of them. I assume you sanded but did you have to recoat the bottom again? Thanks for the great info.
It is absolutely Beautiful ❤❤
Beautiful
Wow that was beautiful.❤
Stunning
what a amazing job. 🥰
Beautiful.
I was hoping you were going to have lights under the river part.
You are the best
wow, wow, wow----great job
Thanks for stopping by!
Gorgeous
Awesome video! Really cool table too!
Wow it’s so beautiful!!!
I didn’t hear you say anything about scraping the sides. Do you scrape during the flood coat at the end so you don’t have to sand them again?
Wow that table is absolutely stunning!! A lot of hard work put into it. Enjoyed your very informative video too. May I ask how much is the final price on that table after it's completely finished, without the cost of shipping? You did an awesome job on it!!
Great VIDEO! the channels below, i noticed you set them with epoxy, what about wood movement? will this top eventually crack cause of just an inlayed channel?
I need to bring the overalls back!
Am about to make one of these, you are my teachers.
Thanks!
Great Job❤
When you tip the bottle of epoxy upside down to pour it in the bucket, you should pierce the bottom of the epoxy bottle, for a smoother flow from the bottle, no glugging air as the bottle is not trying to suck air and flow epoxy from the same hole, also you get less bubbles.
I have a soapstone clamshell-shaped bathroom sink I've been tempted to refinish. It has some significant scratch marks in it and I'm wondering if it would be feasible to refinish or if I should just replace the whole damn thing? What would you do?
I'm thinking of a new kitchen with this topping. Plan on LED's under with bottom layer clear, then a light colours top coat for light to penetrate.
Come on people there is a lot of hard work gone in to this and its good. And a good da sander would sort those waves out but it still looks great.
It’s amazing how u do this rlly wish I learned this in college now I’m afraid it’s to late for me to learn that
Great Great Work. I never expect how long and much layers you need for the perfect result. How long you have working on the Tabel ?? Regards from Germany
Nádherná práce. Gratuluji k tvému talentu 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I know the deep pour epoxy can go up to 2" thick, but you definitely look like you are pouring your pours at more than 1/4" layers to make up that 2"? What's up with that?
Great work! It's funny, I've been watching your stuff for a while now, and I just learned you're located where I grew up, Grants Pass Or 😅! That's awesome, keep it up the good work!
Richtig klasse Arbeit ❤❤❤
Could one add diamond dust to this pour without it being overkill on metallics? Also when Would you determine the need for metal braces in a table like that (or any table) to stabilize it from bending? Finally do you also seal the other side with epoxy or just the top and sides?
that top looks great I was a general contractor for 50 years retired now i want to ask you if this epoxy is good for outside in tjhe norht east where it gets freezing in the winter i want to put an epoxy blue small pond it the garden and a boy fisjijg at the pond What do you think would it be ok in the outside
So hey man, how does mold release spray do for epoxy? Does the chemistry mess with it at all or could you use it and skip the tyvex tape?
Beautiful Table!! Only one problem. The metal inserts may cause table to crack if not allow for seasonal changes. Dont you think c-chanel with threaded inserts will work better?
The c-channel and inserts are a excellent way to stabilize the tables. We haven't run into that issue with the steel bars on thick large tables. Great call out! Thanks for watching
You ever try putting LED rope light in the blue center. Would make it POP
Would it be so hard to fill all those knots and cracks before starting your seal coats?
I like that epoxy curing takes a break on weekends and doesnt count business days :) bahahaha. That was a solid laugh
HAHAHAHAHA!
How do you know where to put the leg’s and how strong to make them and do you need to have a long bar on both sides of the table for the legs???
Awesome
Hey Mitch, what “wood” you charge for something like this, just smaller like end tables and/or coffee tables?
What was he doing at 2:43? Color is beautiful!!! Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all
cutting pocket holes.
@@barrysmith3724 Thank you, Barry
Great descriptive video. Question: why did you add color to the second half pour when you already had color on the first half? Why didn't you just pour clear on the second half pour?
Then you would see the inside sides.
Beautiful table Mitch...Its a lot of work and time but well worth it What was the cost to the customer? Just the table not with shipping?
Genuine "no stupid Question" Q : IF its a full opaque pour with no view of anything internal, is there any real need for the black mix in the internal first pour? (you dont see it on underside or limited river view on table short ends - or could just drop a tiny bit and swirl on the ends) I appreciate detail and completionist care, but this would seem not so needed. From watching 100s of epoxy pour table vids but having zero hands on experience, just wondering if this step mattered?
You wan tto try and have the same color mix on both pours. The color difference could show on the table ends
@@StoneCoatCountertopsbut then if it’s just the ends, does putting it in the middle actually matter?
BEAUTIFUL!!!❤
Thanks for stopping by! How long have you been watching Stone Coat on TH-cam?
@@StoneCoatCountertops only just A few months but I have been watching all of the videos. Love me some binge watching Stone coat ,can’t wait to start playing with my first order I know I’ll be getting some more.
Bonsoir énormément de travail cette table est super belle c'est dommage en France il n en font pas mais sa doit être très chère je pourrais jamais en acheter je souhaite bon courage a cette homme c est très très beau
what exactly is the shelf life of stone coat original formula? i forgot to ask when i came to pro class in July.. thnx Mitch...
Is this epoxy aquarium safe...if I use it for a mold as decor for my fish tank...would the chemicals leach out into the water?
I didn't know you guys did youtube. I buy mica powders from ya'll! Ya'lls diamond dust is so beautiful! I feel like we're friends in my head. Lol

If you had used a penetrating epoxy to seal the wood to begin with you wouldn’t have had all those bubbles. You could also have filled the knot holes and irregularities first to avoid the insane amount of sanding and repouring you had to do.
just wondering why, you put the steel supports in after pouring the epoxy river. what would happen if you put the steel supports in before pouring the center part?
Do not know if you know ??? But! As you are pouring the epoxy puncture the base with a nail or knife..It flows much easier. ;)
Nice!
Thanks, appreciate you sticking around as a subscriber for all this time! U GOT THIS!!!
Another way to reduce the bubbles in your Epoxy layers is to stick the mixing bucket into a Vacuum Pot and pull a PARTIAL vacuum (NOT a full one, Epoxy can sometimes react badly in a full vacuum) until it stops fizzing, then pour it in/on your project...
Exelente
Hey Mitch, how’s your gut feeling after the weight lifting event?
Lot of negative comments but have any of you negative Nellys ever done any of this kind of DIY or job before? He got the bubbles, and ripples out and sanded off the drips under the edge, it took extra clear coats but it still looked good!
But wouldn’t it have been better to have put in those bars before you poured? I did my own countertop and I used alcohol to get out the bubbles.
are those all unescaped bubbles at 23:47?!
