    John definitely has the coolest projects out of all the woodworkers on TH-cam. I love that you include your messing around in the shop and include footage of you just staring at the project and thinking where to go. Way more relatable (and entertaining) than the step by step videos that only show the woodworking.

      I don’t mean to disagree but bourbon moth turned his lawn mower into a tank... John is good though. And the antics are great.

    Next “element table” a mountain that has an epoxy cloud on top?

      @JakePalmer13 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Underrated comment! This would be so cool. The little peak that sticks up above the cloud is what pops in my head. Reminds me of the smokey mountains

    John is so funny! And his projects are always so cool. Another idea for you John: you could make classes and teach kids how to woodwork

    John, I like how you said your not comfortable sticking the grinder in the middle of tree at about 6 minute mark, then grabs chainsaw. Nicely done sir!

  • @klausschleicher523
    @klausschleicher523 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hey John, now you have to create the top for the other three seasons too. ;-) Maybe one base with four tops to change whatever season is at the moment ;-)
    BTW: I have the idea for another epoxy project: Take a massive tabletop (i.e. maple), burn it down, really deep. So you have the cracks and it will look like cooled lava. then put in some small amounts of orange/red epoxy. I should look like liquid lava in a cooled lava field. After this, cover the whole tabletop in crystal epoxy ;-) What do you think?

  • @ZHFabrications
    @ZHFabrications 3 ปีที่แล้ว +42

    Hahaha! Callin' me out I see.
    I dig the concept!
    I've actually been sitting on an epoxy idea for a while now believe it or not.

  • @michaelkaiser1097
    @michaelkaiser1097 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Jon, the tree table is a piece of art man! For the next build an epoxy tree dinning table because that’s clownery. Can’t wait for the new desk build!!

  • @andrewarcher880
    @andrewarcher880 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I love it by the way, would add another later of epoxy so it covers the wood showing through the top and so it rolls over the edge a bit. Great work.

  • @Kachcan
    @Kachcan 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    That thing is beyond sick. You are by far my favorite woodworking channel. Just got my merch ordered.

  • @mattomann1093
    @mattomann1093 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Sweet proof of concept! I think it'd be super cool if you made one with a 3D top; where the epoxy extends down in a tree shape, and the top looks like you took and cut the top of the tree flat! Then the bits of the base that show up look super natural because that's what would happen if you cut off the top of a tree!

    What a piece of work!!! You have some talent there big fella. From the beginning with you using a invisible pencil to make it out to your ability to carving. Being a footballer, you'd make a bloody good craftsman. Well done mate.

  • @jessicakriese6723

  • @lightbending
    @lightbending 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    very cool idea and it turned out incredible!
    this concept could be a whole furniture series honestly... personally, i would love to see a matching book shelf with the branches winding up through multiple layers of resin leaves. or like, a coffee table version that's two small trees standing next to each other.. idk this was a very inspiring build haha

  • @certifyd

  • @morozov.cookie
    @morozov.cookie 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is really cool. I watched all your epoxy videos, but I think that this is the best of all. But I also think that you put table legs to deep into epoxy and that because we can see it on the table top. Great job, guys!

    You are defenately one of the most entertaining guys on TH-cam. You make some very interesting projects. I have a suggestion for a project. How about a huge, carved shop(logo) sign you can hang outside your enterence door from a fancy bracket? You can make good use of your new mask.

  • @mmztimelord
    @mmztimelord 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I am just armchair quarterbacking here, but on the next one, do the same pour, then when it's done, do a second pour with the table right side up like you did with the lava table to give it some overhang. 8-D

  • @tjr1286
    @tjr1286 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey John I use the Milwaukee m12 die grinder to carve you can buy any cheap 2 inch aluminum oxide discs for them. I use 36-40 grit to hog away material and you don’t get any tear out. I can carve for around 30-40 minutes on one 4.0 m12 battery. I currently use mine to carve birds. I roughout them out on the bandsaw and then shape them with my die grinder from 36 grit for shaping up to 10000 grit for finish. I don’t do any hand sanding on them. It makes the job fly and you don’t have to worry about losing a finger!

  • @Oonagh72
    @Oonagh72 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love everything about this. Best part is that if you want a bigger top you can just add a clear piece of glass on top. Maybe you can try using a reciprocating saw. I love mine. My husband get mad because I use it for everything. Tree limbs, lumber, hangnails.

  • @richardmarquardt6246

  • @antoinlatif8356
    @antoinlatif8356 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Very nice and a lot of effort put into this table. If you were to build it again I suggest that you would lift the wooden branches a little bit while pouring the epoxy so that you would have a clean green table top. Well done sir.

  • @brianterrill9587
    @brianterrill9587 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Medium stain it to look a bit darker and add a knot or hole or two. But yeah, I like! Oooh, add a tree branch side holder for a remote.

  • @ethan7840

  • @markelonich1725
    @markelonich1725 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love it, John next time try suspending the wood in the epoxy, that way you won’t see it from above and maybe swirl a few different shades of green, you inspired me to try it myself for my grand babies, thanks again, you guys are great

    That tree table to so cool. I feel likw it need cup holders from a couple of random branches. Think you should make a dining table with chairs all to give it a rain forest feel.

  • @OriginalMomo

  • @ipoint01
    @ipoint01 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    You could easily incorporate this into a larger coffee/dining table and have multiple carved trees be the legs, maybe with a more wide spread branch pattern/design. Also would love to see a darker finish in it too.

  • @BenNawrath

  • @famousamoso7
    @famousamoso7 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think it looks great. The 1 thing I would suggest to improve it is when pouring the resin top that you have the table suspended like a 1/2" so you don't see the limbs protruding through the top.
    And maybe making the base a little more organic by cutting through the base so you can see the individual roots branching out instead of 1 big cluster.

  • @ShrikeZeta
    @ShrikeZeta 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    so i do a bit of power carving myself especially with the arbortec turboplane I love that thing. some things i've learnt from power carving is having a variable speed angle grinder can help at times with tear out aswell as just being alot less aggressive, really quite amazing how much control you can have with that tool and when you get more confident just being more nimble with it and having the grinder is some really quite odd hand positions to account for grain direction(using a switch grinder and not a trigger one of course) will make that alot easier to accomplish. another tool which you may want to look into is a powerfile ive just got a black and decker one but makita has a reasonable one and some pretty solid pneumatic ones they compliment it wonderfully especially for those awkward spots you just cant quite reach and the stock removeable is really impessive, and since its a sanding belt you wont blow out chunks either. hope this little tid bit helps, love your work john and hope to see more power carving in your future.

  • @wildkatsage
    @wildkatsage 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I wish that the branches had only been dipped halfway into the epoxy so that they wouldn't show through on the top, and I would have stained the base a dark walnut so that tree would have some bark :D super good looking table regardless; i love it

  • @randyiron2
    @randyiron2 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think you should do the same thing again but multiple tiered. It would basically look like a shelf unit. Awesome work with the tree. It looks so cool!

  • @patrickkov
    @patrickkov 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Maybe pour a carved epoxy bowl that you can set upside down on top of the table as a cover. It would really complete the tree aesthetic.

  • @TrailRat2000
    @TrailRat2000 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Awesome table and I want one.
    But since you asked for an opinion, could you do a two layer pour so you don't see the branches too much through the top.
    Also, and this is just what I'd like to see, I'd put in a small bird nest in the branches to stash snacks and such like.
