I would strongly advise wearing a respiratory mask when mixing, pouring and sanding epoxy, especially with very fine grit like 600 grit. Hopefully you are already aware, but the reason for this is that the particles in epoxy (and lots of polyurethane substance) are very harsh on your system, and although you might not feel it yet, you can and will become allergic to them at some point, it is just a matter of time. For some people it comes at first use, and some others use it their whole career but stop before becoming allergic. Epoxy resin fumes and fine dust are also linked to various cancers, mostly lungs and trachea if I’m correct. So please for the sake of your health and prosperity, wear at least basic respiratory protection, and advertise this issue to the many people who follow you! Best regards, Antoine
The first time I worked with this stuff and sanded, I was smart enough to wear a respirator, long sleeves, gloves etc. When finished sanding I blew myself off with air and ended up injecting the dust into my legs. Developed a major rash for about 3 weeks. Talk about a learning curve.
@@jeffstauffer2628 Wow! I'm really happy I read op's comment and your reply. I haven't yet worked with resin but will make sure to properly protect myself when I do and I'm very thankful for the inside.
@@jeffstauffer2628 That's just ONE reason why ANY responsible employer will take you down the disciplinary route if they catch you using compressed air to blow anything off your body.
I just have such gratitude, Resin is one of the few arts where the artists are so generous in teaching newbies. It’s a pleasure to engaging with such a cool community.
That's nice to know because there are so many functional arts where folks keep their processes tightly guarded. I'm excited to get into rrsin/epoxy because the art feels endless. You can make SO many items...and they can all be very different. I'm just hoping to skip over some of the newbie/expensive mistakes. So, it's good to know people are open to helping and sharing...
This has to be the most beautiful table ever. Hard to believe the transformation from wood to table. Your videos are calming and soothing, unlike the daily news. Thank you for the breath of fresh air!
hi brother,my name is Bogdan and I'm from Russia, I've been watching your videos for a long time and I really like it, despite the fact that I don't know English well, I want to express my gratitude for what you're doing,I opened a small production of epoxy tables in the city where I live, your videos are very helpful in understanding the process of creating such a table, I send you greetings from Krasnodar.
Hi I’m a newcomer to your show and I happened to see you struggle getting a large piece of wood out of your pickup. I usually work alone and being over 70 I don’t lift anything heavy unnecessarily, so I developed a simple technique to remove heavy items from my Tacoma. It involves a piece of good rope and an eye bolt. Attach the bolt to any solid object, in my case the back wall of my garage. Attach the rope to your heavy load , thread it through the eye bolt, and connect to your truck hitch or bumper. Usually I just use the idle to slowly pull out of the garage , stopping every couple of feet to inspect the project. If you have a solid sturdy table raise the eye bolt slightly higher than the table, bring the truck tailgate as close as possible to the table and slowly pull the truck away. If you have a trusted helper that would help but it can be done alone. Sometimes two eye bolts are needed to keep the rope clear.
Thank you so much for these videos. I am 54 and will start practicing with small tables so that I have something to do for income during my retirement years. Watching your videos has taught me a lot and I feel confident this is possible.
After watching the video advert i was still skeptical. But when i finally downloaded the plans th-cam.com/users/postUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG i was very impressed. The whole plan was just as you said in the video. Thank you very much. I now have a large and valuable collection for my woodworks. This is great!
Long time finish carpenter, cabinet shop owner, woodworker. Gave up my big shop but have a small building I've turned into my woodshop and have been starting to make some resin projects. I've purchased several big slabs of wood, maple and walnut, and plan to make a new kitchen table out of the walnut so this video was perfect for what I'm about to do. Great tips, really nice camera work, and I love how you share not only your successes, but your failures as well. Thanks so much for these tips as I've been using Ecopoxy and not really happy with it. Going to try this product along with some of your techniques on my next art project. Thanks so much!!
Your videos are so relaxing and make me want to continue with my woodwork. Ive always been into it and loved it in school but now I just sit around and wait for some one to say they need something that's wooden and I jump at the opportunity to build it for them. Its so rewarding! Could be a great side gig too!
A painter asking someone else to frame and stretch their canvas doesn't change the fact that they painted the painting. In my opinion same goes for you getting help with plaining and squaring. You're still the artist!
Well all I can say is wow! From the precision to the design through to the excellent narration was just awesome. What a brilliant table and love the fact you set the photo shoot up right there with a purpose back drop etc! Well done, great skills.
Every now and then I love to see other people making great stuff. Although I'm not into making epoxy tables I love to see the effort you put into this. My compliments on the colour of the steel frame!
I am just getting into this epoxy thing in my quest to build a computer desk. I really love how the top came out. I think the colors are gorgeous. Thank you for posting this!
I watched this on 5.9.23. This is very beautiful work and I enjoy your work. Keep working on your sense of humor. I like lights in all forms. If you could figure out a clear channel device, round or square, to embed into the epoxy. So you could add some form of lighting and be able to service them. With the beauty of the wood and the ambiance of programmable light has merit. Lighting that could swing with the seasons, holidays, parties, etc. Just a thought.
Good stuff! I always learn something new from your videos, so let me see if I can give back a little - I've had pretty good luck with sandblasting to get the soft wood and bark out of the hard to reach or uneven areas, which avoids tool marks from a chisel or wire brush. I use an inexpensive HF pressurized abrasive blaster loaded with crushed walnut shell media, and I set up a pallet on the lawn and blast away. The media is organic so I just leave it to settle into the lawn. This method really works wonders in getting rid of the soft stuff down in the gaps. Looking forward to the next vid!
I just subscribed to your site. I have been watching you on my Apple TV and wanted to tell you that your site is probably the best I have viewed. Your information about how and how not to do something is very informative. I am a retired general contractor who is now into bowl and resin turning. I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate someone who gives correct and non bias information about products, tools, materials and methods to complete a project. I will keep watching. Thanks Bill
Made my first epoxy table this year following your videos! Came out beautiful and still learning. Thanks for all the instructional and helpful videos, your videos are awesome 😎
Having been a woodworker my whole life, professional cabinet maker, and one off specialty items, this really makes me want to go to the next level. I also forge knives in between projects. Would like to combine the two somehow! Great work!
Even though you had someone help cut with the large machine, it’s still your DIY. It’s great you someone that can assist, maybe you’ll get to assist with another DIY’r that doesn’t have a piece of equipment that you do! We’re all in it together! I like your wife’s cinematography better. :). Beautiful work, you have an artistic gift, plus the ability to teach. Thank you!

I love the finishing and his high standards which makes his work awesome. He deserves 1 million thumbs up and 10 million subscribers
Been binging your videos over the past few days, loving all your work! I’m about to try my hand at making a walnut desk. Maybe a little epoxy to fill in some holes, but for the most part the desk is going to be natural shape and natural edges.
I never counted you as a DIY channel since you do this for a living. I have found the tips and ways to save work fascinating and something that would help a DIY'er,
Yeah, agree with you, when i first saw the stand, i thought oh, no, he's gonna ruin the table putting that on it! then it cuts to the finished colour of frame & table, and boom! he nailed it, totally spot on. looked awesome. I have got to get into this genre of woodworking.
This is the first time I’ve watch one of your videos you do a awesome job. You explain things very well. I will be watching a lot more of your videos. Amazing work!!!!
Another dandy. Glad to see the positive review on Liquid Glass deep pour, i just scored 12 gallons from a girl whose parrot is allergic to epoxy. Sorry bird, lucky me. I would have like to see. Base recessed by 1/2" all around. Excellent
I am a VFX artist have nothing to do with woodworking nor have i ever done anything like this. Still ,, i totally enjoy watching your videos. Also, was listening to your rant on another video saying that some people hate epoxy tables, and some people hate live edges, but i think in this project, you showed the perfect use of using the gorgeous wood that wouldn't work outside of a epoxy table!! Keep up the good work..
Small thing bruv when drilling the holes for the inserts before marking the holes roughly place a bit of tape there then proceed, helps with the chipping👍
Beautiful table you have much more patience than I. The pride of your work shows. Your humbness is also commendable.If you never stop learning.You can only get better at what you love too do. God bless you. Best wishes.
First time viewer here. ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AMAZING TABLES I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!! I didn’t understand why your wouldn’t just use clear epoxy to show how beautiful the wood is!! I see it now and how great the table looks. However I love the way real wood looks so I will have to check out your vlog to find more videos!!
@@xristinarose2409 yeaah i had some experiences with expoxy and similar things, i learned that a good mask iq your best friend xD luckely enough, with covid everyine has masks lying around 😂😂😂
Next time your boss/wife/husband/significant other/dominatrix tells you they want a shelf put up somewhere, you will be able to put up an epoxy and wood shelf with a live edge that makes the rest of the house look not good enough for your shelf.... they will hate how awesome the shelf looks and how crappy the rest of the house looks and will never ask you to do anything again because your little shelf will outshine the rest of the house... putting a spotlight on how meager their entire existence is. Your shelf will show them what a fine steakhouse life can be, and they will look around at the rest of the house and see day old McDonalds.....
Utilizing available resources to plane etc. is not cheating, it’s working smart. That equipment is very expensive and large for a diy enthusiast to buy, so why not make use of available resources? Love your table!
“If you don’t have an industrial shop available to you that doesn’t mean you can’t make one of these tables; it just means I’m luckier than you” 😂😂😂 the Ina Garten of DIY tables! Love it
Did he say that? I'm wondering what the bare minimum of tools to begin creating tables or other items would be..and thether if more epoxy:wood ratio equals softer pieces with less stability?
Gorgeous table!! I'm planning on starting a career transition soon and really want to make tables/countertops like this. Great job!! Thank you for sharing your craft!
Is there any particular reason why you don't have a 1/4" or so layer of clear epoxy on top of the table. So that if it ever gets scratched/ damaged it will be easier to repair vs fixing a damaged wood surface.
Good question! I love the look and feel of wood. Not a huge fan of thick plastic layers. Also, this finish can be spot repaired, a clear coat has to be taken somewhere to repair. I will be doing a thick finish on a table coming up though.
Totally outstanding piece of work, I mean I would be so proud to have made that top, respect to you sir !!! Greetings from uk and everyone please do their bit in these times.....stay safe
Basic DYI means you do it yourself. If I start a project and then hire someone to come in and do work as well.... becomes more of a team project and not quite DYI. Having a channel to give guides on DYI shouldn't include outside work.
TTEAM WORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK! You have craftspeople you trust will get the job done right and efficiently... kind of like wings on a bird. You can't fly without wings... which also saves you time in the shop.
Great Video! This is exactly the kind of stuff I want to do when I retire from the military. Just an idea but after doing research and learning different techniques, have you tried lining your template frames with tyvek tape for a clean break once the epoxy hardens? Thanks again I really enjoyed the video.
That was a work of art! So pleasing to the eye. Bringing the stand to the edge only added to the character of the table as the copper color played so well with the wood tone. And the black! It makes the wood appear to float in a void as if by magic. Dude!
Gorgeous work I have to ask the dreaded question though with the high price on all of the materials and many hours going into the work how much do you sell the finished product for?
@@BlacktailStudio Thank you for not being cagey about the question. Also, stunningly BEAUTIFUL table, craftsmanship, and creativity all with a fantastic verbal narration throughout. Nice, Nice, work!
I love this video! Thank you for being so detail oriented and your speaking cadence is very polished. Price comparison, how did this product compare with other deep pour epoxies you have used?

Gorgeous table!! I'm planning on starting a career transition soon and really want to make tables/countertops like this. Great job!! Thank you for sharing your craft!
Just another plastic table.
Andi, your jealousy is showing. 🤣
Is there any particular reason why you don't have a 1/4" or so layer of clear epoxy on top of the table. So that if it ever gets scratched/ damaged it will be easier to repair vs fixing a damaged wood surface.
Good question! I love the look and feel of wood. Not a huge fan of thick plastic layers. Also, this finish can be spot repaired, a clear coat has to be taken somewhere to repair. I will be doing a thick finish on a table coming up though.
Totally outstanding piece of work, I mean I would be so proud to have made that top, respect to you sir !!! Greetings from uk and everyone please do their bit in these times.....stay safe
Be safe Michael!
What a beautiful table, and that finish in the base brings out some of the lighter colors in the top.
Here I was thinking, "that's gonna take a long time to sand down" and then he throws it in a giant surface planer and does it in a couple minutes.
yeah how much is a planer? i’m trying to get these equipments for my husband so i can direct him to doing epoxy tables for me..
@@thewordisalampuntomyfeet6814 the machine they used. planner with belt sanders--. tens of thousands...
Felt that
Wide belt thickness sander! Wish I had one!
I am in awe.
I don’t think using a large shop is cheating for diy stuff. It’s just a practical use of the time/money equation.
Agreed!
Basic DYI means you do it yourself. If I start a project and then hire someone to come in and do work as well.... becomes more of a team project and not quite DYI. Having a channel to give guides on DYI shouldn't include outside work.
When you have a table like this you know you’ve made it 😍💯
You’re talented man great stuff 🔥
Ya man!
TTEAM WORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK! You have craftspeople you trust will get the job done right and efficiently... kind of like wings on a bird. You can't fly without wings... which also saves you time in the shop.
Makes me want to build a table
You should!
I want to know how much did it cost to make and how much it sells for
JAY REINA many of these tables take $2,000-$3,000 or more just in epoxy resin. Some take way way more. This stuff isn’t cheap.
What the other guy said. Step one: have a lot of money.
B MillHouse not to mention the wood.......
Great Video! This is exactly the kind of stuff I want to do when I retire from the military. Just an idea but after doing research and learning different techniques, have you tried lining your template frames with tyvek tape for a clean break once the epoxy hardens? Thanks again I really enjoyed the video.
That was a work of art! So pleasing to the eye. Bringing the stand to the edge only added to the character of the table as the copper color played so well with the wood tone. And the black! It makes the wood appear to float in a void as if by magic. Dude!
Gorgeous work I have to ask the dreaded question though with the high price on all of the materials and many hours going into the work how much do you sell the finished product for?
Around $5k for this one 😊
@@BlacktailStudio Thank you for not being cagey about the question. Also, stunningly BEAUTIFUL table, craftsmanship, and creativity all with a fantastic verbal narration throughout. Nice, Nice, work!
Gorgeous piece of art. Not a fan of metal frame though, yet it complements perfectly 👏🏻
My carpenter heart just dropped with that chisel 😥😂
That is absolutely the most beautiful piece I have ever seen. That slab could be hung on the wall as art work! Fantastic job!!
I love this video! Thank you for being so detail oriented and your speaking cadence is very polished. Price comparison, how did this product compare with other deep pour epoxies you have used?
@@BlacktailStudio what was the code? I am wanting to try my first attempt at Epoxy Art...any ideas that are not too difficult yet not cheap looking ?
Def a fyi bro. Whoever says it's not ,tell them to buy you that 50k machine. Lol
It’s gorgeous. I’m suppose to be taking a course in the spring to learn how to make a river table. Not sure that will happen with the Coronavirus. 😥
Dang... I had to cancel my April workshop
Trial and error is best to learning. Start small and keep learning.

@Loyal Royalty what you mean?

This is, in my opinion, one of the coolest tables I've seen on this channel.
Just wondering, how much would a table like this cost and how much did the epoxy itself cost?
6k. Epoxy was like $700
@@BlacktailStudio I thought the epoxy would be a lot more! But such an amazing table, easily worth that price and more, good work 👍
Nice table , detailed video.
Not only is that the sickest table I’ve ever seen, this was a very VERY informative video!! Easy click of the subscribe button. Appreciate you 🥃
Boom!
You asked if it was cheating..................
It's only cheating because I dont have a big shop around me lol
Loved the table
Not in love with the base but the table top is awesome. Thanks for this demo. You have some mad skills.
