    • @CowDogCraftWorks
      @CowDogCraftWorks  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      That was for a client/friend. So proper selection and ensuring the slab is air dried helps. I don’t really believe in c channel or more “restraint” oriented alternatives because ultimately it will restrict the movement to the point of cracking or checking. It’s important to note that George Nakashima didn’t use steel to keep his slabs flat either. It was very strict selection. You’ll see battens on the underside but that just keeps things “together” since he wasn’t using dominos or biscuits for alignment.

    • @CowDogCraftWorks
      @CowDogCraftWorks  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Wow I like your thinking! So you could... you would have to do it along the width of the table because of wood movement but perhaps cutting the dovetail into the lateral support piece at the top of the leg assembly could work. That also could help mitigate any future cupping. Quite a brilliant idea.

    Very nice job man. You keep your tools sharp! Did you thin out the tung oil in the first few coats of the top?

    • @CowDogCraftWorks
      @CowDogCraftWorks  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I did not actually. Just very light coats. Like the rag is charged up but it’s not so wet that you can squeeze oil out of it. So real milk paint company has a solvent that can be used to thin pure tung oil that’s food safe, it’s a citrus solvent. I haven’t used it yet but I’m pretty eager to. I don’t think it lowers the viscosity enough to really “penetrate” any quicker. But I do think it thins it enough to make the oil easier to work with if that makes sense.

      I think, but do not know for a fact, that they’re pure tung is so thick because it’s “pre-polymerized” a touch... probably to help with cure times, but that does result in a thicker product. A few folks I know say the woodcraft tung is substantially thinner... but it takes forever to cure.

    How are you buying live edge slabs but can't buy a jointer? Cart before the horse my friend. I hope after selling that piece you could get a jointer.

      For starters: buying live edge slabs and buying a jointer are not correlated. That’s like saying, how are you buying a steak when you don’t own a microwave? Furthermore, I’m like 5’8 and 140 lbs soaking wet with change in my pockets so the idea of using a jointer of any kind with a large ungainly slab by myself sounds like a nightmare. And to get the result I did, you’d have to run them side by side so they would mate perfectly which makes it even more clumsy and dangerous for me. Using a jointer plane... was not only the most sensible alternative in my humble opinion but the one I was most comfortable with. And candidly as we say in the legal field... res ipsa loquitur... the thing speaks for itself.

      How are you commenting on woodworking posts when you have no idea what you are talking about?

      @@CowDogCraftWorks The point I was making was that live slabs are stupid expensive. So it felt weird that you bought a live slab before a semi basic tool like a jointer. Then I rewatched the video and noticed how you got it locally from a friend and it is not one of the more expensive wood slabs like I am used to working with. Sorry for your confusion.

    Just leave out the loud, annoying music and everything will get a lot cleaner.
