Perfect Table Finish (in a dusty garage)-Wood Table Finishing-How To Stain Wood
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.ค. 2019
- Some people call this how to stain wood, but there is definitely no stain involved! In this video I’ll show you how to finish a wood table. More importantly, how to get a perfect finish. Even in a dusty garage or shop. I’ll be demonstrating on a epoxy resin table, which can be the hardest type of table to finish without a professional spray booth. The finish I use is not only easy, but super durable. It was designed as a hardwood floor finish, so it should be tough enough for any table you make. Enjoy!

I'm grateful for all the hard won information you packed into this. Beautiful work!
Much appreciated chip!
This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection th-cam.com/users/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.
Thank you so much for all the content , Had really helped me finish my first piece
Thanks for sharing & one of the best I have seen. You make it very understandable and learnfull for me as I am learning. Thanks again!!
Hey Guy, you have one of the Best Woodworking Channels on TH-cam, thanks for all that you do.
Wow, I appreciate that Rodney!
Glad I found your video. Excellent description of each step in the process.......and NO annoying music! Thanks for a great tutorial.
This is great. Love your content, such a great mix of creativity and practical advice. Thank you for sharing.
Excellent work and very clear and derailed explanation !! I like your projects so far, can't wait to see more :)
Gorgeous tables!!! The tips and advice are greatly appreciated! Keep the great videos coming.
You are God with what you do. Your teaching is highly appreciated. God bless you and your family.
Wow! Those turned out some good! Very beautiful. Thanks for all the great knowledge.
Really great video. Thanks for making this one.
Well explained video my friend! I like it. This was helpful for me!
Excellent!
Awesome tutorial, I also build epoxy tables and the educational value of this is priceless, your patience and attention to detail is admirable, on top of which you made a video longer than 10 minutes with zero background music that didn't bore me at all, I wish my narrating skills were to come close
Wow, thanks man
Cam is the new E.F. Hutton... When cam talks people listen! 😎
I'm in love 😍. Professional job.
Gorgeous table!
"You don't have to use the ($600) Festool.. I've heard Mirka ($600) makes a good sander." Good advice.
😂 right? I you really should use a very nice sander for this stuff though. I was more saying that it wasn’t an ad for Festool.
samjade I was going to say
😭😭😭
What stroke does your sanders have 5 or 3 mm?
There isn't ANYTHING that makes any difference in sanding ability except how long the tool is gonna last or how nice the tool looks. An orbital sander is an orbital sander unless the bearings are going out in it... 🤦🤦 dont fool people into thinking they have to buy a $600 sander to "sand better" 🤣 $40 sanders do just as good working on $4000 black epoxy tables and I prove it regularly.
Hey, iv watched your channel a lot, you’ve given me so much advice, tips and tricks for my start up projects with wood working and resin pours, used Osmo for the first time on a project from your recommendation and it’s awesome! Keep up the good work man and thanks again
Patch
How much do you rate Festool sanders Cam? I’m really thinking about getting one but wanted your opinion?
Thank you because you helped my mom's work
Just found your channel. This is fascinating. I have really enjoyed all of them that I have seen so far and have learned quite a bit. Thank you for doing this!
I would like to know about that nice looking plastic box you have for your sanding disks , Do you have other video on your epoxy do and don'ts and how you clean that nice looking buffer
"I would like to know about that nice looking plastic box ..."
Did you click show more, then try reading?
The reason you don't want to skip grits is that the sandpaper is essentially making little scratches in the surface. If you skip grits, the higher grits can't make deep enough scratches to remove the scratches from much lower grits. (Picked up that tidbit from auto detail channels)
Well said 👍🏼
Thanks for this video. Very very helpful for someone who’s experienced in woodworking, but not finishing epoxy tables. Many of my questions answered here!
Just Outstanding!
Can you or anyone recommend a buffing pad that I can use on my random orbital sander? I have a 5” Makita. Thanks. Great video!!!
I just cut a square one for my orbitals. Doesn’t have to fit
@@BlacktailStudio Every time I tried to cut the buffing pad it was it was falling to shreds on edges. Those were hard to remove from the oil. Any tips how to handle?
Hi - UK fan of your channel, just starting my own journey in repurposing wood with resin.
Keep up the great work
Thank you very much really amazing finish🎉
Cam, just found your you tubes on my TV and have now spent hours watching. I love your work! I wish I was rich because I would fill my home with your tables, desks and such… just beautiful!! Carry on… ❤
Great,and relaxing video ! Thanks
That was super educational. Thanks!
Hi loving the table tops, they came out stunning. I will look forward to seeing more that next one thanks for sharing.
I appreciate that Andrew!
Just want to say thank you. Your vids have been key in the making my first epoxy river table and really with no hiccups. Keep up the good work and thanks again
Thanks michael!
Looks perfect.
Both are absolutly beautiful
Thanks shaun!
👏👏👏. What's needed for the maintenance.
Informative. Nicely presented video tutorial
Beautiful!!!
Great Show!
Consistently great videos!
Thanks bro appreciate your time, skills and advice. cool vid too.
Once again, another fantastic video and remarkable job on the table!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks forest!
As always, a fantastic (and pragmatic) approach and tutorial. I appreciate so much your sharing your experience and expertise. THANK YOU!
Thanks bud!
@@BlacktailStudio Hey stud, quick question....the CA glue and activator... Is the CA glue transparent when covered by epoxy seal coats? Would you fill all voids including "dimples", and would you do after a seal coat or two but before flood coat? Thanks!!!
Great job with the photography and verbal. Thanks for sharing your experience with us and for not having any irritating music.
My pleasure Dale!
Brilliant job. That thing looks so nice. Love the contrast of the black epoxy with that timber. Elegance for sure. Smashed the like button, as per!
Thanks for the video! I was just working on a similar project and was having trouble trying to figure out how I was going to polish the epoxy and have a good finish on the wood. I'll give this method a try.
The best vids!! Can’t wait to finish my coffee table project
Awesome!
Beautiful
You do such beautiful work! Never lower your standards!
Thanks so much!
Thank you!
this is the amazing one, the pest !!
Excellent work.
Thanks Basil!
Your tutorial is awesome, love the work you do and the detail you go to, for us wood working wanna bees its inspirational, keep it up and I'll keep watching, cheers.
Thanks!!
Amazing video.
Probably the best finishing video I’ve seen, glad I found you! Thanks for the education.
This is a fantastic video loaded with tips!!! I absolutely loved every bit of it!! Thank you for sharing so much in one informative video! I have subscribed!
Thanks Michael! Let me know if you need anything else
WOW and wow cam so cool finish.
Probably the most helpful video of all, I think one of the biggest challenges is getting that professional finish after all the hard work of building it. Thanks Cam
I appreciate you saying so
Great video Cam, excellent information and I even learned a lot about what mistakes I'm making while finishing haha.
Ha! Thanks Trevor (I assume). Happy to help a little. Feel free to share it, it was an ecopoxy table 👍🏼
@@BlacktailStudio That's me :) I think I will! We answer tons of finishing questions and like to be as educated as possible on them 👊🏻
Thank you very helpful video for me !! Very pretty
Thanks bud!
Excellent video. Thanks for this great info 😊👍🤗
Happy to help!
great video! thanks for sharing the process.
Thanks Phil!
Awesome tips and beautiful tables, Thanks for sharing!...Bruce
Thanks Bruce!
Cam, this video has upped my game significantly! I've always put a lot of time and effort into sanding my final products, but never really getting to a professional looking finish like this. I had no idea how much sanding dust marred the surface until I watched this video. I'm in awe of how your simple process yields such outstanding results. I went out and bought a bosch sander (you recommended that as a decent sander that's relatively cheap in your blog, I think). Also got Klingspoor sandpaper and voila! It's amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your valuable knowledge. I've subscribed and gone through many of your videos and blog entries. Great stuff!
Thanks!
Wow! Stunning!
Thanks!
This is about my 12th straight video from this channel all in the one sitting. Great content! Kudos!
Welcome Chris!
Beautiful work! Very informative stuff
Thanks Keith!
Thank you for showing your mistakes as well as successes. I have made a few projects and always got disappointed when mistakes get made. One thing learned is not whether mistakes get made, but how they are dealt with determines the level of craftsmanship. Thanks for showing your level of craftsmanship.
Absolutely agree!
Great video!
Awesome work! You are an inspiration 👏👏👏
Thanks!
Beautiful work bro !!!
Thanks Joe!
Thanks!
I'm from Australia. Love your work
Awesome!
You do beautiful work.
Much appreciated!
Just brilliant 👍
🤜👊🙏
Beautiful and your photo and video skills are getting better all the time!
Working on it! Thanks for staying with me through the process Mike
Amazing tables and very informative video,definitely subscribing!
Thanks Matthew!
I refinished a table recently and got a lot of squirly marks from a cheap 1/4 sheet sander. I decided to leave them as the tables veneer was to thin, and I only caused more marks trying to remove the first marks. They were so light I did not see them til I started staining. Thanks to you I now know it was my sanding speed that caused them, and I can on my next project remember that.
I love this video! Thanks for making it. I’m yet to make my first table, but when I do I want to be able to fee the wood, not a flood coat of expoxy. This is just what I’m looking for :)
This is for you then!
excellent guide. thanks so much!
Here for ya!
Thank you for everything
I wouldn’t put epoxy over shellac. Wont bond well
@@BlacktailStudio i just wanted to thank you for the advice I sanded it back down to tge wood then done a light seal coat wth a squeegee let set fir a hour was hard in like 30 mins but gave it the full hour tgen put a flood coat of a quarter inch thick on it it turned out beautifully no hills an valleys no bubbles I heated it in bucket with torch after mixing went from one mix bucket of string it said 6 mins I went longer tgen transferred to another bucket made sure nothing was left unmixed then poured let it even its self out then heated I used a grooved trowel it seemed to spread better and as tge epoxy slid through tge open parts of grooves in trowel tge bubbles popped on there own tgen took torch to surface lightly kept it moving so epoxy wasn't scorching and left it till the next morning came out to my van to find one of the most beautiful parts of my van/home build its ni way near as beautiful as your work but ofcourse not your an artist with wood sn epoxy tge king of kings tge best an u make it look a thousands times easier than it really is to those that's never used epoxy on table tops or sny big flat surface this man puts alot more into it than anyone could imagine he is tge best ge is a beast thsnk you my friend fir your help
@@BlacktailStudio and one last thing ive learned ill share with those that I've learned don't dug dimples hills low spots in your wood make sure when sanding keep sander flat on tge wood if you make waves pots hills or dimples whatever you wish to call them when you pour your epoxy you will have tgrm in tge epoxyvaswell abd will have to do additional fill in coats after your main coat to fill in and even out tge surface of epoxy to make it all smooth take u a straight edge lay it on tge surface from time to time to make sure your not sanding low spots in your wood tge straight edge will show you things tge naked eye will never pick up on an inles your a pro like this man your hand will deceive every time it will look an feel smooth and even but when u use a straight edge you will see tge dimples judt advice from a beginner learning as I go with tgd help of tge epoxy pro sn black top
I used your tips to finish up some coasters I made with wood I found on a beach. Having stumbled upon your videos way before I started this project I'd had an itch to experiment with epoxy and this was an easy/cheap way to get my feet wet! Thanks for the tips! I was trying to figure out what to use to polish the epoxy with after the final sand.
Can use any of my finish methods!
Love your work! Black is definitley harder to finish. But it is Beautiful when done😉👍🔨🍻🍻
Thanks Tommy!

You're usually my first comment Marco! I must have posted early this time. Thanks as always.
@@BlacktailStudio had to wait till break to watch 🤭 I swear watching your videos makes me feel I can accomplish what you do and then I have to remind myself I have no woodworking experience or tools 🤣 but it's how you explain things that totally draws me in and the quality of video 👌 you are one of my top favorite woodworkers 💯
Marco Velez well I’m gonna keep going till I’ll #1 then 🙏

You got this
I really like your work.... Please record as much as you can on your 3" table build please.... I'm interested in seeing how you over come the pitting & voids in such a thick table..... Thx again.... Love the vids...👍👍👍
I’ll see what I can do for ya!
Hi Mark from the UK..just like to say how much I enjoy all your videos and wish I could be as creative as you
Thanks mark! -Cam from Oregon
Ken i watch your video ay goby with your students.i really wish i lived in the us.im from south africa.hats off and big respect for what you do and the tables you produce.like i said on another video im a late starter and will work hard to get to know my stuff.awsome
Thanks Martin! And I’m jealous of your country
@@BlacktailStudio you need to live here and see whats going on.prices are crazy here especially when you have hobbies and passion.be blessed
Forgot to say, what a job!
Great video!!!!!!!!
Thanks G!
Mirka disks are amazing never get no pigtails from the mesh sanding disks
Love your videos and your channel. Very helpful information for us beginners. My Question…do you have any tips/tricks when you sand the sides of your pieces? I find it difficult to keep an even sand on my edges. I haven’t found a great video yet that speaks to sanding the edges properly. Most just say…”don’t forget your edges”. Thanks!
Hey Cam. Love everything you do first off.. a true master! Quick question for you! Even when sanding at 600 grit between coats of osmo, I can’t seem to get a perfect uniform finish (slight, slight marks that just show unfortunately on black epoxy). I’ve gone as slow as possible and dust collect/wipe as best as I can. Any suggestions for me? Types of sand paper? Orbital sander itself? Just want to really nail that finish! Cheers, thanks again!
Hi Cam! Very helpful video. I went direct to Klingspor where they have sampler packs of sanding discs; 5 each of all the grits. This is a really good way to get all the grits without buying a box of 50-100 in the same grit. I did tell them I learned about their product from your video.
Awesome!
Used your vids to make my first river table. Made lots of mistakes. Would do things a bit differently next time. But your vids are the bomb and helped so much - thanks!
Well done! Only gets better from here
hi... I've been watching and enjoying your videos, as a new woodworker, almost exclusively working with black walnut here in the Portland area. I've been watching videos from everybody, and really learning a lot. Your videos are exceptional in the genre, and I seek them out. Everything is very plain-spoken and understandable...really sharing your craft. I looked below at one of the comments about buffing pads, and I notice(in addition to a great common-sense answer) that you respond to so many comments. Just want to say thanks
Oh wow, thanks so much for saying so
Hi long time follower, I love all your videos really appreciate your knowledge, I have a question, for outdoor table use do you have any suggestions on how to seal/complete it so the weather doesn't ruin the finish over time? All I can think of is a self levelling epoxy over the whole thing. Thanks for your help 👍
