Learned so much from this channel, and showing the mistakes/problems. Everyone makes mistakes it's figuring out how to recover that's usually the problem
Im not crazy about the finished table but I’m SO impressed that you had so many failures and just kept at it... I’ve quit projects for way less... you have really made me reflect on projects I’ve given up on, I feel inspired to not give up the next time! Great video, probably my favorite on your channel!
As a total newbie at working with epoxy, it’s sooooo freakin awesome to see you show your mess-ups so I can feel a tad better about myself!! 😂 I have a long way to go, but at least the process and practice is fun! Thanks for keeping it real!
When using that much epoxy/resin, you need to do it in stages. Let the first pour mostly harden. While it is still chemically active, pour the next stage. That way the heat is minimized and you can avoid the problem at the beginning. It clearly takes longer, but it comes out looking clean.
This. The heat of the chemical reaction of the epoxy bowed your plexi outwards and caused those leaks between the clamps/screws you had used to hold the front panel together.
Yeah this is like Epoxy 101, says it on every brand of it. Even the high end stuff you really should only do 1-2 inches at a time max and or thinner if you're going crazy waterfalls.
That turned out gorgeous John. I love the realism in your videos. Your not afraid to show mistakes. How to get hit and get back up again. Keep it up man!!!
Dude, seeing how that all went down after hearing it through texts and pics makes me laugh even more 😂😅 Y'all made some sweet sweet lemonade out of those lemons 💪
I can not explain how much I love your videos. Can’t tell you how many times in my own shop I try to convince myself that “everything is going perfectly to plan”
Love how ya saw this project through to the end even when it looked like it was going belly up at the start. That's how it is in the world of craftmanship, sometimes you shapes the projects, sometimes the projects shape you.
Well, that turned out way better than it should have. Usually when sometimes tries more off the wall shit to cover up a "cock-up", as the British say, it only gets more cocked up. Love "mistake" vids!
Love how this turned out, and the journey was interesting! Project suggestion if you are ever doing something non-commissioned: live edge river wardrobe doors. I think it would make an amazing piece in a room, built in or free standing (and people rarely build wardrobes on TH-cam, it feels lacking)
I totally agree! I would love to have an old fashioned wardrobe...my grandmother had one when I was a kid so they make me smile...besides...he doesn't want their own entrance to Narnia? Bahaha
@@RoyRosales It's not embarrassing, it shows the creative minds they possess and learn through mistakes. And I'm pretty sure they think it through even when there are mistakes, nobody is perfect and shit happens.
" CRYING WON'T HELP YA , PRAYING WON'T DO YA NO GOOD !!" Awesome table man! I like you left in the mistake and did'nt edit it out. I don't know if it's the best drum intro but for sure in the top 4 😎
I really liked this video but I wish you had a rock parting the waterfall.i have seen that in nature and think it would have been a fantastic addition to that table
Ok, Malecki. I saw this in my feed and was all "just what we need, another damn waterfall eepoksee table." But I watched anyway and then I was all, "wait a hot second...this is gonna be good..." And then I was like, "I hope there's no fire 'cause that extinguisher ain't going nowheres." And then I was all, "Zeppelin...eff yea!" And then I was like, "crack kills. Lol." And then I go, "nice save!" And then I have to admit, "Epic, Malecki."
I know this table must have been hell for you, but I THOROUGHLY enjoyed watching this video. So entertaining haha. Awesome finish after what you went through.
Cool table. Challenge for ya..... make a tensigrity table, but very large, actually usable, maybe out of 4x4s, as most people can't weld. Challenge #2: a tensigrity patio chair
I can't tell you how much this video inspired me!!! I'm about to go to my She Shed and get Squirrley! Little Squirrel was what my brother called me when l was little. Who knew I'd grow up and be Squirrely. Hope it's spelled right🤗
Awesome vid, I am a beginner who has done small things like ashtrays, trinket boxes etc but I have always had my sights on doing something bigger like tables and this vid inspired me even more with the imagination of doing something like that is rare and awesome....yes do keep those videos coming, I need to try and start doing bigger things myself. Thank you for that inspiration, mistakes are always made but you have managed to carry on and make something wonderful.
Ya know the saying “learning from your mistakes”... I swear he’s going to be a fricken genius by the time he’s 80. . Cuz there in every SINGLE video... and why? Cuz he “wings” it 🤦🏻♂️🤷♂️
Am I the only one who is kinda frustrated at how he doesn’t really plan the process out. So much time and/or work could have been saved... that being said it still looks cool
@@John_Malecki I'd rather see the mistakes so that I don't make them myself, I appreciate the fact that you don't edit out the blunders and show viewers that even though something doesn't go perfectly you can still have an amazing end result. Keep up the good work my man. Appreciate you sharing the adventure with us :D
First of all, I agree 100% that bonzos lead into when the levee breaks is THE best ever, no question. Second, really cool table. Talk about a challenge.....
Ahhhh duuude that SUCKS! 🤣 LMAO!!! you took the hit in stride though, good on ya. The result was so worth it! Kudos! 👍 thanks for the laughs ...and honesty! LOL
I have a "river" banks are rocks going thru 1/4 of my living room from round penny tiles. Looks like it has depth and movent.... Had to come up with something wasn't about to bust up all the tile that was laid.... Was doing a hopscotch pattern with two different "clearance cheap" tiles and grout line was growing latter realized the tiles were more like 4-5 different sizes not two lmfao.... None the less I actually love how it played out in the end! Very different one of a kind I got!!!
Appreciate people actually showing the mistakes they made rather than acting like they’re perfect
Cant agree more
It’s one of the best thing about this channel.
I messed up exactly like this, its nice to see the experts making mistakes too. Makes feel like less of an asshat
@@bixwor completely agree! Does feel good to know that we are not the only one who make mistakes when making things with wood.
Learned so much from this channel, and showing the mistakes/problems. Everyone makes mistakes it's figuring out how to recover that's usually the problem

“i didn’t calk it like bigger tables cuz we’re in a rush to pour it before the weekend” seems lesson learned for sure LOL

This. The heat of the chemical reaction of the epoxy bowed your plexi outwards and caused those leaks between the clamps/screws you had used to hold the front panel together.
One thing I’ve learned, never rush a project. Especially anything to do with liquids.
It's just like glass fiber resin
Yeah this is like Epoxy 101, says it on every brand of it. Even the high end stuff you really should only do 1-2 inches at a time max and or thinner if you're going crazy waterfalls.
It's like they have no idea how to use it - it's nuts for a channel of a pro shop
Agreed levee breaks is one of the best drum intros ever ❤️ 💙 ♥️ 💖
That turned out gorgeous John. I love the realism in your videos. Your not afraid to show mistakes. How to get hit and get back up again. Keep it up man!!!
Realism, lol .. you really bought that?
He earned my subscription with that integrity. Reaction reenactments and all.
STUNNING!!!
Gotta love those Happy Little Mistakes!!!

😂Please don't encourage more scripted skits LOL😂
😂 😂 You are by far the funniest maker I know 😂 😂
Definitely one of the best songs of all history. Great taste
100%!!!
I agree
@@John_Malecki that song is somehow relaxing and chill at the same time as it rocks so hard. A little mind blowing.
COOL ! Yes,you are CRAZY :)!!!
Today on Shop Time, we're going to do a Dip It episode featuring John Malecki's shop floor and a towel.
yes sir !
@@John_Malecki do eet!
Lol that’d be great XD
😆😆😆
Wow best table yet. Beautiful....10/10
when the levee breaks... I wont argue... defenetely one of the best songs ever by the best group ever!
No arguments here, "When the Levee Breaks" definitely has an awesome drum track. The Beastie Boys even sampled it. Awesome table btw
I can not explain how much I love your videos. Can’t tell you how many times in my own shop I try to convince myself that “everything is going perfectly to plan”
John Malecki...clamp champ!
I cant believe how well you handled that! I'm sure it was a bit worse off camera
I would have flipped out for sure.
@@danssmokintreasures yeah that laugh was to avoid crying or raging
i mean the dude came into the room mic'd up lmfao you really think thats a genuine reaction?
@@Stoop_Kidd ya he got mic'd up before seeing it
That is ungodly beautiful.
I vote for more weird. Your weird has a habit of producing pimptacular projects.
Super rad table! Glad you stuck with it.
When the Levee Breaks is THE BEST DRUM INTRO EVER! And John Bonham IS THE BEST DRUMMER EVER!!!
1000 in epoxy on the floor, first thing on a monday morning....it truly was a 2020 build. kick ass save on the project!
Love how ya saw this project through to the end even when it looked like it was going belly up at the start. That's how it is in the world of craftmanship, sometimes you shapes the projects, sometimes the projects shape you.
That's the beauty in art!
Well, that turned out way better than it should have. Usually when sometimes tries more off the wall shit to cover up a "cock-up", as the British say, it only gets more cocked up. Love "mistake" vids!
“I’ve never done this before but I watched a couple TH-cam videos” iconic
You’re right on with Led Zepplin !
John, you need to look on the bright side, the wood didn’t float away
🤣
ROFL
I still have epoxy on the shop floor from an epic spill when I was making pub tables. This video gave me some nightmare flashbacks!

Best project I have seen in youtube till today
This is the real-life example of leaving all the studying for your exams the night before you have them.
Great build!
I came here to say this. These guys are just making it up as they go and it's embarrassing to watch.
@@RoyRosales It's not embarrassing, it shows the creative minds they possess and learn through mistakes. And I'm pretty sure they think it through even when there are mistakes, nobody is perfect and shit happens.

You should make an epoxy kayak. And take it out on the lake before summer ends.
You are correct…one of the all time best!!!!!
I really liked this video but I wish you had a rock parting the waterfall.i have seen that in nature and think it would have been a fantastic addition to that table
YOU NEED A TV SHOW!!!!!! I enjoy watching you and Sam. Bless you guys.
This is pretty cool, did you consider like a “foam” on the bottom of the waterfall where the two pieces of epoxy meet?
loving the Nick Offerman portrait on the wall
Ok, Malecki. I saw this in my feed and was all "just what we need, another damn waterfall eepoksee table." But I watched anyway and then I was all, "wait a hot second...this is gonna be good..."

Ended up pretty cool, can't complain.
I know this table must have been hell for you, but I THOROUGHLY enjoyed watching this video. So entertaining haha. Awesome finish after what you went through.
Amazing confidence resulted in brilliant finish.
My fix would have been to make it look like ice!
Loved watching. You didn't give up and that was the best part. But I have to admit. My favorite part was seeing the Black Rifle Coffee Company flag
John doesn't deserve 300k subs, he deserves 1.4 mil subs :-)
You are correct, tell all your friends! We're building an army!
@@John_Malecki The fact that u responded made my day.... wow
Cool table. Challenge for ya..... make a tensigrity table, but very large, actually usable, maybe out of 4x4s, as most people can't weld. Challenge #2: a tensigrity patio chair
I was coughing right before he said stop coughing. Kinda caught me off guard.
After all the problems wow it is definitely worth it
Thank you You Tube algorithm for bringing me here. Instant sub. Well done my man.

You are HILARIOUS..& very educational. It's great to get instruction in how to resolve common problems.
epic build!
Yesssssss. You just got a lot more cooler in my book with the adoption reference.
"i'm going to wait until this side dries then I will sand it off and do it again" (hey sam sand down my mistake!!) hahaha
Great save! Amazing final product.
Yo what up love the vids
Thanks Jakob!
Awesome build with hilarious commentary
another outstanding video. Just shows even when a project is totally kicking you butt. Keep going and it will work out! Nice work bud!
"Greatest drum intro ever"
It's a great intro.
14:25 summoned a squirrel demon in my livingroom... now what?
Embrace it...... then eat it
Am frm Pakistan ....
It's looks a unique waterfall u did a great job....
"We don't actually know what happened!??" I'm picking up a pattern here.
I cannot disagree, When The Levee Breaks is an awesome song
Ya know the saying “learning from your mistakes”... I swear he’s going to be a fricken genius by the time he’s 80. . Cuz there in every SINGLE video... and why? Cuz he “wings” it 🤦🏻♂️🤷♂️
That's how unique things are made and it's great content!
It looks like a mermaid tail so pretty😃
Well, you handled that well. I'm glad you can cuss like a truck driver. Next skill is to cuss like a Marine.
I really like that waterfall table.
That mold release spray is a waste of time, I use any kind of automotive wax paste and wipe the whole form down 👍🏽 never had melamine stick.
I was just wondering if you’ve ever had a blowout…and then! I love all of your creative work; it’s inspiring.
Am I the only one who is kinda frustrated at how he doesn’t really plan the process out. So much time and/or work could have been saved... that being said it still looks cool
yeah. he needs to watch I like to make stuff and learn from Bob
My channel is about the journey. Not the end product: bob is great but I don’t work that way
@@John_Malecki fair enough

This is awesome but the floating coffee table is by far the best one ever💯😎
Balls the size of church bells! Nicely done 👍🏻
Fantastic work! Author, be healthy and happy!
Freaking wicked awesome!
First of all, I agree 100% that bonzos lead into when the levee breaks is THE best ever, no question. Second, really cool table. Talk about a challenge.....
Great looking water falls table.
Ahhhh duuude that SUCKS! 🤣 LMAO!!! you took the hit in stride though, good on ya. The result was so worth it! Kudos! 👍 thanks for the laughs ...and honesty! LOL
Good fumble recovery! Persistence pays off...
TOTALLY AWESOME I THINK...WOW
We need more of this!
Even though your work shop floor was messed up as veiwed at the initial videos eventually you manage ed it to complete........ cheers man great work😘
You'll never get the money you put into it but the beauty and experience was fabulous
Improvise... adapt... overcome... thats the definition of this video
I always thought "When the Levee Breaks" would be the best song walking up to bat in baseball
Turned out really cool. At the beginning I had my doubts.
I love this table the cracks make it look like broken ice
You could feel his heart drop when he first walked in that Monday morning.

This thing came out badass!!!!
Ah yes... What to do when things go south but you still need to make something functional
Pottymouth !! I’ll have to “Pre watch “
My Granddaughter WUZ w/me to see your video!!😔🙀 we went to Niagara! Both sides ! Though we might want to try your pour ? OOPS
👍👍👍👍ya know the month and half watching this coming together.....I really didn't think I was gonna like it. Well done!
THATS AWESOME BRO!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!
never give up. cool
You sure were dedicated to making it work hats off to you. I guess I might have added a bit of darker blue to give it some depth.
