I'm only 15 seconds into the video , just had to pause and say wow. I have a Victorian era home fixer upper and the kitchen is stripped. No counters. I want to do this.l just like you did, I love the design you made
What patience you have, that was beautiful! I had wanted to use shells for a table top. Everyone laughed at me, but now I'm going to try it. Thanks foe the tutorial
This is just amazing! I wish I could see the kitchen in the finished state. I also would love to know how well the epoxy is holding up to every use. I love the design you came up with for the pennies. Just beautiful!
I used to rent a home that had a large bar, much bigger than your counter top, in it. It held up beautifully for years and always was a conversation piece. For the money invested in doing it, the counter top held up as good or better than any laminate counter top. I am in the process of doing a bathroom counter top with the same materials. My wife does not want the pennies this time, but more of a black, white and sprinkling of glitter to it, instead. Michaels seems to only sell 16 oz. kits these days and the city we live in does not have a Michaels, but I'll order and use a coupon to reduce the price. The banks will give out rolls of fresh and shinny pennies, if you don't want any to have that tarnished copper or corroded look to them.Nice video. I can't wait to do up my counter in the hall bath area. Some of the paints already have glitter dust added to them; especially the Martha Stewart ones, but a subtle effect may be more to one's liking and an occasional small individual fleck of gold leaf may be just the ticket.
Nice I've been wanting to make something with pennies but this is the first time I've seen a design with the pennies, I might just make my own design now XP Thanks for the vid
This product is self-leveling, so if you put on foil tape to keep it from dripping over the edges, you can also have a small rise to each edge. This rise is actually sharp when dried. It is fine where there is a faucet so that you don't have water travel over the edge of a hole or such, but not so fine on the edge of a counter where one may place their elbows or arms. Like say, the edges then are sharp. They can be trimmed down with a razor, but your idea to put on the rail that extends up about a quarter of an inch solves the problem, too. If your edge rail is bullnose trim or rounded or such, then letting the epoxy product drip over the edge like a water fall is not any problem with sharp corners resulting.
LOL! I was suprised to find that there are only about 300 pennies per square foot, which makes it less than most tile and definitely cheaper than slab countertop. And pennies are getting cheaper everyday!
+PaulanerKrombacher Thank you, I built this for my mother and the countertop has seen a lot of use over the past several months. It has held up really well. She is very happy with it, especially since it cost less than a laminate countertop.
This came out so beautiful! Especially lovely with the pattern you achieved. I wonder how it would look if the diamond patterns had been curved around the L...
Scratch resistance is very good. Obviously, you don't want to cut directly on top of the epoxy, but we haven't had any issues at all over 2 years later. This epoxy is unlike the older epoxy you might have seen at restaurants and such where it becomes yellow. It is manufactured with a UV light resistance and we have had no discoloration. Still as clear as day 1.
+Dwight Gordon, the epoxy is supposed to withstand up to 135 degrees. We have a toaster oven on the counter, but not a microwave. So far there have been no problems.
Why in the world was the counter left blue underneath when it would have only taken a few hours to paint it black. Even tin foil under it would have looked better lol.
+Willy Florentino Actually, there are about $2.32 worth of pennies per square foot. I had approximately 18 square feet. This countertop is worth about is about $50.00 in pennies plus the cost of the epoxy, which was around $200.
+Willy Florentino I made a mistake earlier, the length was 18 feet x 2 feet deep so it's actually 36 square feet. That was a total cost of near $100 in pennies.
+jason bachtel: Jason, I take it you didn't see a penny countertop in the above video titled "Penny Countertop". This could be for a variety of reasons. Here's a link that may help you with the problems you seem to be having. Best of Luck. askleo.com/my_computer_doesnt_work_what_do_i_do/
+jason bachtel Thanks, Jason. I wanted to show the mixing and pouring process, but you have to do it fairly quick and I didn't have extra/hands to make the video while I was working with the epoxy. Here's a video that shows how to work with the epoxy. This is exactly what I did: th-cam.com/video/oCF79_jqX8k/w-d-xo.html
+Aaron Light. Yes, I've been running from the law since I constructed this countertop. The FBI has a warrant out for my arrest and the Treasury Department has a team of special agents working to bring me to justice. I'm posting this from a disposable cell phone at a hideout in a small Mexican village. Wish me luck.
Aaron Light You gotta be kidding me...but then again 9-11 was 14 years ago so our government probably has time right now to go after these corrupt Americans...destroying pennys...god LORD, what is this country coming to?????
+thunderbolt13100 The good money you're referring to is $100 in old pennies. We tried finding 36 square feet of countertop for less than $100, but it couldn't be done. If you know of an alternative that costs less and looks nicer, I am open to intelligent suggestions.
+Scott Singleton .. I LOVE this! I don't have the patience to do a pattern like that, but it's great. Like someone else said, I'd like to see the whole kitchen finished to see if the countertop stands out! Great job! Very interesting too!

Great finish! Super cool work mate
Beautiful job. Painstaking and that pattern would take a lot of patience.

Sweet! Looks amazing. Lovin' the pattern.
If you've got the money for a project like this...its beautiful. But that deffinaly cost you a "Pretty Penny".
LOL! I was suprised to find that there are only about 300 pennies per square foot, which makes it less than most tile and definitely cheaper than slab countertop. And pennies are getting cheaper everyday!
I like the design using the dark pennies, it makes more cents than random !-)
That counter top is real pretty.
Awesome work!. Inspiring!
Beautiful job
Thank you!
very beautiful... Good work

this is a great idea for a countertop. inexpensive and looks nice.
Now the sad work of covering it all up with kitchen appliances
I would of painted the cabinets white
that's beautiful!
Stunning!!
how is the scratch resistance of the epoxy? Also is there a UV inhibitor?
Scratch resistance is very good. Obviously, you don't want to cut directly on top of the epoxy, but we haven't had any issues at all over 2 years later. This epoxy is unlike the older epoxy you might have seen at restaurants and such where it becomes yellow. It is manufactured with a UV light resistance and we have had no discoloration. Still as clear as day 1.
wow, amazing. you finally figured out how to utilize a penny?
Amazing
Looks great. How has it held up?
Very sweet man nice and flat
Would I have to be concerned with appliances like a toaster oven or microwave putting out too much heat for the epoxy to handle?
+Dwight Gordon, the epoxy is supposed to withstand up to 135 degrees. We have a toaster oven on the counter, but not a microwave. So far there have been no problems.
Why in the world was the counter left blue underneath when it would have only taken a few hours to paint it black. Even tin foil under it would have looked better lol.
I will have to try this with silver dollars
+Boss Cat I used all my double eagles to pave my driveway. All I had left were pennies. :) Thanks for watching!
Looks amazing but now the cabinets should be lighter now.
Lincoln16 Thanks, but the cabinets still weigh the same.
@@737T1C130 Sorry meant to say lighter in color. :)
Echt Super!!!!!
+DrStockmann Danke!
What does it look like now
Que voluntad para armar ese laberinto de Monedas!
I like it. How many pennies?
+Gunther Ultrabolt Novacrunch Thanks, I think it was around 8,500.
Gorgeous! But it's not illegal to use money like that? I heard somewhere it was..
I like to live dangerously.
Lmao
Check the copper price!
I took a thousand pennies to the recycling center. They gave me 200 nickels. I bought a dollar bill with with them. Winning.
do you need to glue the pennies down first?
Turd, you should glue them down so you don't get a crappy result.
I will prefer to change them pennies you an get a lot of money from that on a coin star machine even though the counter looks beautiful

wast of good money.
