    Not just how to make an epoxy resin table, but how to clean up epoxy when you're done. And everything in between. This build went pretty well, although I did break a corner off at one point! So you get to see how I fixed that too.

On top of that, I’m loving learning passively about woodworking and a place to start when I get a house in the future and can set up a proper work station.

  • @mphiggins1965
    @mphiggins1965 ปีที่แล้ว +23

    Another method to consider when attaching the small piece of wood to the corner is to use electrical tape instead of painters tape. It’s stretchy and will apply a small clamping force to the piece as it dries. Great work sir, much respect.

    • @christophercrawford2736
      @christophercrawford2736 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have no experience so I may be wrong, but I’d consider putting down some painters tape on the table first, then using the electrical tape to clamp the patch piece on and not have any adhesive from the electrical tape sticking to the table.

    • @user-ev4pb9xj7e
      @user-ev4pb9xj7e 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Electrical tape will leave a residue. A strap clamp would hold that piece in place, just loop it around the tabletop and ratchet it down.

    Wood and metal. The final shot of the table on that incline looks amazing! With a few mods it could make a sweet display table of sorts. Your video formatting is good.

    Wood.
    I've had the hobby of woodworking since I "caught the bug" back in 1990. Starting out with simple items you might have seen in a junior high shop class (Ancient History, I know!) and working up to furniture pieces for our home, upper cabinets for our laundry room and even carpentry projects like our backyard deck (30'x30') and pavilion (20'x16'). I've never sold any of my work because I knew about all of my mistakes and I simply considered them "eccentric character features". Your videos are inspiring me to give this a more serious look.

      In Australia in major cities we have “ men’s sheds” women can go participate also; But the basic inference is that it is like a work shop with most industrial tools that are shared by the group. There are also private makers spaces that are rented out. But basically you pay for the half or full day and use anything you wish. Some locals drop off the most amazing timber and metal for us to use at no cost

    Watching others do what they do well is rewarding in of itself. I once made a bowl on a lathe, back in 7th grade Wood Shop, but I have no illusions about ever being able to create this kind of art. But I appreciate it. My attention to your work comes from being an high school English teacher, from reading great stories and articles and from needing to read all the way to the end to see understand the finished product, or from writing a story, essay, or article, and needing to finish to see how well I have done. Thankfully, my mistakes can be fixed in less than 24 hours, but I was incredibly impressed with the patch to the corner, to preserve the integrity of the table you promised to deliver. Watching you create the table, even at warp speed was interesting and fun. I don't think you talked too much. Well, maybe for the experts watching your work, perhaps you may have. But I followed your verbal script and your actions, and never lost focus. Well done. Well done.

    I love the finished table. Admit I had doubts at the beginning when you said black epoxy, but i stuck with it and was converted at the end! Absolutely brilliant solution to the imperfect corner. I think I would have rounded it off and done the same thing to all the other corners to match because of where the problem was and the size and the issue with not being able to clamp. So hats off to you for sorting it out so brilliantly!

    Love this table, excellent patch on the corner as well, I'm a Staircase builder by trade, I specialised in curved handrails. Another way I've found to fix difficult patches is to use 2 types of glue, standard PVA wood glue on the outside edge of the timber faces and a super glue on the inside of the faces. Personally I've found a product called Mitre Fast, a 2 part super glue that bonds in 10seconds as the most efficient method. This allows you to fix the issue completely and move on within the hour without having to wait for the PVA to fully cure.

    Wow, this video is 3yrs old and still going. I came across this video because a friend of mine is building kitchen islands out of old work benches. She inspired me to think about doing it as well with her. I’m not a good finisher, but can build. She is the person with the finishing skills. I live on the east coast. A stones throw from New York. She seems to get clients who love this old stuff that is finished from the New York area and they are not shy on paying a good dollar amount for some pieces that are very unique. So videos like this are appreciated. I hoping to create some nice stuff. Thank you.

    Been bingeing your videos a lot over the last couple weeks and this is the first time Ive seen you create custom C channels for your table. I know its a minor thing that is on the bottom but I think I actually prefer look of the custom cut ones and it sounds like the ability to drill your own holes and such is pretty handy. Hard to give up ready-made, ready to use resources though :)

    Awesome! I watched the entire video! Love how that corner turned out. I'm trying to learn how to do a floor but was intrigued by how you laid out that piece of wood and cut off the 2 pieces and incorporated them into one bad ass table!!

    Wood every time, I love watching the pieces you make and combining the resin (epoxy) and wood, but have always failed miserably with epoxy and so as I don't want all the other equipment needed and also don't have the space will continue to enjoy your work. Thanks all the way from the UK.

    Great repair also.
    Sometimes we have to slow down towards the end of the cut. Also, with the track saw. You can stop and trim the cut off so it's not dangling.
    Or, change the saw blade. The carbines get dull or damages

    I appreciate all the talking through the videos. The narrative is something that helps me walk through what's happening. I guess I don't learn as well from just looking at it. I am just getting in table making. I bought some wood from Nick at Maverick and that guy is a wealth of knowledge and takes all the time to talk through tips and tricks. I am at this stage at my tables now and had Nick actually surface them for me and I am ready to sand and fill and water pop. I would prefer to do this part with someone hovering over me to tell me stop before I mess something up but these videos are as close as I can get to that so thank you!

Masking tape is incredibly useful. If you’re using a chop saw another way to help is put your revealing side face down. Really enjoyed the video thanks man!

Or (insert however many stars you like) even if no such accreditation exists to illustrate a point about the quality they experienced.

    I made my first table one year ago, and that one was inspired from your video with the burned wood.

    Wood or Metal, depends on the shape or the overall look of the finish.

Nothing is as simple as one or the other, if it was easy, everyone would do it. Love your work. I'm inspired to give it a try, love working with wood but never tried anything with epoxy.
