Dillon, not going to lie to you... I have just done three pours with your product.... I am amazed at how cool the epoxy cures, I still seal the live edges in on my pieces, however I have not had any bubbles in the three pieces. I am a bit amazed that you do not need to seal your edges.
Totally do more Q & A!!!! I love all the videos and the start to finish ones are very satisfying to see. One question: Do you only silicone the frame? I don’t see the wood slabs being siliconed down but rather clamped down from above then planed off for the finished surface. Am I correct and if so could you explain why this is your preferred technique? Thanks in advance.
Great stuff! Thanks for all the videos, I've learned a lot. One thing I'm curious about. It seems you often pour the resin over the top of the piece you're making. Why do you do that? Seems like it creates a ton more work to sand or plane that off.
Dylan, a fantastic video. Maybe your best. The musical bits were well placed. Hats off to the editor. Showing the disaster table demonstrates there is nothing easy about what you do. Must have been an expensive lesson. That door with circular focus is magnificent. One of these days I will visit but not for the $50 box. NY city apartments just aren’t big enough.
Dylan, is there a way your metal fab guys can build the table legs so the sides/uprights are slightly tensioned with a small (hidden)return for fixing so it doesn’t show through and impede the beauty of the resin? Love watching, I’d love a table but I’d need to sell a kidney to cover freight costs to Australia 🇦🇺
Wow.....I can tell you guys are awesome craftsmen!.....This is my trade and I've been doing Fine end Carpentry since I was 15 in Mexico!...I'm only that, but backwards now 51 hehe....That 50 bucks wood scraps is a steal!....too dammn far to go get them.....I;m glad I found this channel, and you young man as the presenter..... you're the man! sharp on the info, no NONESENSE!...eeihaaa!
I found your channel a couple of weeks ago and have watched all your videos to date (except the old shop tour since you had a new one). Only sad part about this is that I now have to wait a week for a new video to come out. Keep up the good work, and if I one day get rich enough to buy a table from you (well mostly afford shipping it to Sweden) I most certainly will.
Thanks guys, so much to learn being a fellow woodworker in Australia looking at doing some resin pours. We work with recycled timber mainly railway sleepers have you done much work with recycled timber like this... Best regards Josh
Great videos as usual guys love your work. Take it buying and getting your epoxy in the UK would turn out expensive with shipping and taxes that we would have to pay here in the UK?
exelant work again guys love watching the projects come together., still was wondering when the wall art would be in cant wait to have it hanging on my wall
@Black Forest Wood Co. You say you sell those off-cuts for $50 (im assuming thats USD). I live in the Southern States. Would it be possible to buy something like that African Wenge and have it mail to me?
Loved the Q&A!!! I wish I could buy the $50 bin, it would cost too much to ship it to me!!! I did not realize y’all had been around for that long!! Congratulations!!! Has your business, or at least inquiries, picked up since you started this channel?? I think if you made gaming tables, something that could be switched from, say chess to backgammon, and also be used as a card table, it may be a nice addition to the beautiful pieces you already produce!!
How do I go about ordering epoxy, and if I wanted to buy that $50 crate of wood, is it possible (and affordable) to have it shipped to me. I'm 77 years old, just got the workshop I've been wanting my entire life. Would LOVE to buy that box of wood, because it's really difficult to find good wood where I live (north of Phoenix in the mountains). Love your videos.
Great video! Wish I lived closer to y’all. How long does it take for a typical table y’all make to full cure? Do you say the the threaded inserts are the best way to go or can you just use screws?
Hey guys, when your done pouring and say using micro pearl with dye does the exothermic reaction cause it to change? So Im using ecopoxy (I know wrong product but I had 12 liters left) and Bubbles gone and grabbed a wood stick to create a pattern. Came back 3 hours later and it morphed, not in a bad way as its beautiful but wonder if it happens to you?
Well I think with that broken table piece you can still make a very good console table, just cut it and finish it! You can give away to some fan of BFWCo (like me😌) if you don't want to sell it!
Awesome work. Keep the q&a. Loved the explanation of the table legs, keep that going too. Would you send to Nova Scotia. I want to make a river table and I’m trying to convince myself lol. Nothing big. Just a coffee or end table.
You guys inspired me. I'm gonna try to do a pour this summer. I'm gonna try and embed some pieces of broken hockey sticks into a footstool-sized slab so that it looks like they're frozen in an ice rink.
Curious about a couple things. I am looking to fill a round 42” beer cap table I’m hoping to put outside. It is grouted and ready for epoxy, I have a general use 2 part epoxy, can I put a bunch of layers of polyurethane on top of the fill to make it okay to put outside? Do you recommend another method to help make epoxy exterior?
Only question I have ia do you sell to consumers? I've been thinking of resining my paintings to give them a different look instead of having them all just varnished. Love watching the videos & seeing what y'all are working on.
Question, I live in Nevada and in the summer it gets to 115 degrees Fahrenheit. So would I be able to pour resin without getting the temperature way down to 70 degrees in my shop?
Love the videos! I want to try to make a small resin table myself using azobé wood i got lying around (also known as ekki, red ironwood or bongossi). Will this work or is that wood way too dense and oily for the resin to make a solid bond? Will it just break apart when it's dry or am I safe? Thanks
Hi great videos which osmo product do you use for exterior doors I’ve been using the natural oil wood stain product 701 but not had good results then tried the uv protection exterior oil 420 but that didn’t work well either . Thanks in advance
I am wondering about a large piece of wall art, perhaps the size of a "normal" dining room table. But I have no idea how much something like that would weigh, nor how one would attach that safely to a wall?? Any response would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Rick. That's an ambitious challenge you've got ahead of you. I've hung a couple large heavy pieces like that using a French cleat system. My pieces had big screen TVs mounted to them and there is no movement, zero Are you familiar? It utilizes boards with matching but opposite bevels that hold the piece firmly and securely to the wall. I'm sure some type of metal bracket system would work as well. If it's a sheetrocked wall you might want to consider removing it so your fasteners mount directly to the framing. A REALLY heavy piece might get spongey over time if you don't deal with that issue somehow. Good luck. It CAN be done.!
You you would like to try to maybe one time tell us how you price your tables I don't know how to price a table it takes a lot of work and I don't have a CNC machine I do it by hand but I love your videos
Hey Dylan, love what you and your crew are doing. I heard the comment about the hater who thought your work was a bit too reliant on technology. I get the whole , doing it by hand puts more character in the work thing, that's kinda where I am myself, but I see how the equipment can open doors that are locked up tight for old fashioned guys like myself. Perhaps there's some envy involved, maybe not. Anyway, there's always something to be learned from everyone. BTW. It was nice seeing a table with no epoxy, although it did look like it could have benefitted from a few more butterflies towards the open end of the crack. It looked great though. Do you guys ever do trestle style bases?
Yes, fans and an AC are ideal; especially for bigger pours. The less heat, the less bubbles and possibility for cracking because it allows a slower cure time
@@BlackForestWoodCo Thanks for the quick reply ! Yea I just watched another video of yours were you talk about the aluminum table,ac and fan ! lol. Thanks appreciate the reply. Great videos also.
Loved it!! Really interesting, also seems like a great place to work. That alone is important to me, even just as a subscriber that watches these videos. My question for next time is, ‘who’s your camera operator AND who’s the editor?’ Cuz honestly, they do a great job. Anyway, love your channel and hope you don’t eventually bring in too many machines to do a persons work. Lee UK 🇬🇧
as always awesome video plus thanks for all those tips that you guys do give away it's really amazing what you are doing.👍👏 just have a question do you guys ship this scrap box abroad and by abroad I mean like Egypt 😂
You'll probably get at least 50 people here in the comments who will want that $50 wood cart.....and I'm one of them. Just checked maps app - 1,180 miles away - so I'll pass for now :)
Dillon, not going to lie to you... I have just done three pours with your product.... I am amazed at how cool the epoxy cures, I still seal the live edges in on my pieces, however I have not had any bubbles in the three pieces. I am a bit amazed that you do not need to seal your edges.
great video wish I lived close I would love the cart full of wood !!!
Haha it’s such a good deal!!
Stuart Grandy I was thinking the exact same thing lol
Likewise
I feel exactly the same way! That is about 300 cutting boards worth of premium wood
Totally do more Q & A!!!! I love all the videos and the start to finish ones are very satisfying to see.

Woah! Can’t wait to meet you at the home and garden show ! I’m a local that loves what you guys do. Show got even better !
Clayton.
We look forward to seeing you there!! That means a lot to us 😁
Excellent design, especially the joinery
Great video! I am having problems with my metallic epoxy pigments all mixing together and becoming monotone. Do you have any suggestions for this?
Dylan, a fantastic video. Maybe your best. The musical bits were well placed. Hats off to the editor. Showing the disaster table demonstrates there is nothing easy about what you do. Must have been an expensive lesson.
That door with circular focus is magnificent. One of these days I will visit but not for the $50 box. NY city apartments just aren’t big enough.
Wow thank you so much! We appreciate you taking the time to watch 😁 Haha fair enough 😜
Just rewatched all your videos..great binge watching day !!! Ty
Thanks for sharing your work/art.

$50 Cart, dam I wish I lived closer! Road trip to Alberta... Great work
Exactly! But I'm on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. You go for it!
Lol, Festool rail on the wrong side ;)? Like we didn’t see it 😏🙊🙊 love your work!!
I like the Q & A, it’s helpful.
How long have you been working there, Dylan? You’re knowledge is incredible.
So great to hear!! Been working here for 8 years so definitely acquired some knowledge 😜
Great videos as usual guys love your work. Take it buying and getting your epoxy in the UK would turn out expensive with shipping and taxes that we would have to pay here in the UK?
exelant work again guys love watching the projects come together., still was wondering when the wall art would be in cant wait to have it hanging on my wall
I've gotta come and buy and buy that $50 offcut bin... next time my work schedule lets me get there while you're open I suppose.
I wish I was close enough to get one of those 50.00 carts , The small projects that I could make out of that would last me for a few years !!!!!!
Craig Voisin you have to put your name on a list first... been waiting 6 months still no call
Hei dude, thanks for the work that you do and helping the community. I was wondering why do you guys prefer OIL FINISH as opposed to Resin one?
@Black Forest Wood Co. You say you sell those off-cuts for $50 (im assuming thats USD). I live in the Southern States. Would it be possible to buy something like that African Wenge and have it mail to me?
Another great helpful video Dylan thanks from me in Portugal
Hello Dillan. Great video.
Have you ever made any table out of ziricote (cordia dodecandra) will love to see how it comes out
Best regards

Can you do a pour for us diyers so we can do a table ourselves.
Yes please!!! I plan on buying epoxy from you to do my own table from a dead tree I cut down in my backyard. A black Walnut
@@The1AndOnlyOverpass Ooh, what color were you planning on? Do you have an IG, I'd love to see the final product

Nice one, Respect for your $50 bin great gesture just wish I wasn't in the UK or i'd definitely check that out.
Would be nice if you could post links to the items that you use. As example those threaded inserts and where you get them.
You guys inspired me. I'm gonna try to do a pour this summer. I'm gonna try and embed some pieces of broken hockey sticks into a footstool-sized slab so that it looks like they're frozen in an ice rink.
That’s such a unique idea!!! Hope it turns out well! 🙏
The off cuts are soooo worth $50. Too bad I'm in Maine!
Curious about a couple things. I am looking to fill a round 42” beer cap table I’m hoping to put outside.

l am from México. my question is if you have any vacancy for a fine woodworker and cabinet maker
Fantastic workmanship. Great videos.
So kind of you!!
Only question I have ia do you sell to consumers? I've been thinking of resining my paintings to give them a different look instead of having them all just varnished.
Love watching the videos & seeing what y'all are working on.
Yes we have our epoxy available on our website! Thank you 😁
Question, I live in Nevada and in the summer it gets to 115 degrees Fahrenheit. So would I be able to pour resin without getting the temperature way down to 70 degrees in my shop?
I’d buy those off-cuts in a heartbeat! Shame you guys are so far away!
Thanks Dylan great and informative Q&A!!
managed to squeeze 2 of my questions in the vid, nice diversion from the wall art part! 😂👌
You’re doing a fine job. How do you feel about a resin insert in a cutting board? Bad idea or good?
How many liters of epoxy did you use for that small table (5:25) and what are the dimensions od the table?
That $50 box could make some mean chopping boards
What kind of pad do you use when you buff the table to get this shiny finish?
Love the videos! I want to try to make a small resin table myself using azobé wood i got lying around (also known as ekki, red ironwood or bongossi). Will this work or is that wood way too dense and oily for the resin to make a solid bond? Will it just break apart when it's dry or am I safe? Thanks
Hi great videos which osmo product do you use for exterior doors I’ve been using the natural oil wood stain product 701 but not had good results then tried the uv protection exterior oil 420 but that didn’t work well either . Thanks in advance
The black metal leg that you put on most of the big tables do you make them or buy them .
Great job guys, I look forward to next week!
Appreciate the kind words!!!

Are you ramping up priduction of your deep pour epoxy? I know for a while it was selling out really fast.
Love your channel
What is the pigment used for the pour at 5:23?
How long do you let the wood dry before you can work with it?
Hard woods like oak dry about an inch a year
You you would like to try to maybe one time tell us how you price your tables I don't know how to price a table it takes a lot of work and I don't have a CNC machine I do it by hand but I love your videos
That's good. Nice cliffhanger. 🙊

@11:39 dayum so incredulous ;-)
well i loves me some window inserts
Those were some great questions. This kinda of vlog is a great idea. : ) peace
What do you mean by cool your resin while it cures ? Like throw a fan blowing over it ? Turning up the Ac ? Thanks.
Yes, fans and an AC are ideal; especially for bigger pours. The less heat, the less bubbles and possibility for cracking because it allows a slower cure time

Do you guys sell your epoxy in bulk
Excellent vid as always! Can you send the 50 dollar-cart oversees with free shipping? ;)
Haha you bet 😜
as always awesome video plus thanks for all those tips that you guys do give away it's really amazing what you are doing.👍👏

Thank you so much!!! Haha unfortunately not we like it to be picked up 🤷♂️
Nice videos. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Ado you sell your resin
SHIT!! 50 Bucks!
you guys are so cool😎
Can we buy the cut offs online?
Unfortunately not 😞
Love your videos 😍😍
So happy to hear that!! 🙏
Nice!
Could you send me a $50 cart to N Ireland with free shipping lol love the videos keep them coming
$50 box do you guys ship? Lol
I'd give you 500 for that box
You'll probably get at least 50 people here in the comments who will want that $50 wood cart.....and I'm one of them. Just checked maps app - 1,180 miles away - so I'll pass for now :)
Haha maybe worth the trip some other time 😜
