It came out great . I specially like that you took your time speaking clearly , you also explained all the tools you were using the measurements how you got it thank you so much
Wow, you need congratulating on such a wonderful project, presented in such an excellent way. What a lovely change to listen to an expert without a load of unnecessary waffle. The video was to the point, accurate and extremely well delivered - well done! I loved the little trick of multiplying mm x m x m in order to automatically convert the volume measurement of cubic metres into a fluid measurement of litres - very neat! No wonder you’ve currently sold out of the product (as of August 18). Well done! 👍
Well said Neil... I felt exactly the same. This was a great video!! And now a part of my "saved" video collection. Thanks Rich for doing such a great job!!
I have watched a lot of videos on this subject - building the knowledge and confidence to have a go and I have to say this is by far the best one I have seen. Thank you!
This table arrived well packaged and on time. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxn94T8Mu1iMnsLCMNOI9srXSsLkI4JXKW Like another reviewer advised, I pulled everything out and made sure everything was included (everything was!). I built it alone and it took me about an hour. The color is great and for the price the lift part works well. As others have mentioned, it’s not the smoothest opening/closing, but it works. The screws do show, but I plan to order white sticker covers if that bothers us too much. Really happy with this table! UPDATE: it’s been over a year since we got this coffee table and we still love it! It gets HEAVY use as our dining table, foot rest, and school desk. Over time, the opening and closing mechanism has gotten smoother. I added a new photo with the white screw cover stickers. They blend in perfectly and make it look a little cleaner. 100% recommend!!!
This by far the most comprehensive video. Clear concise instruction, tips and information for success. I have decided to do this for my lower kitchen cabinets drawer fronts. I'm converting the doors to all drawers. Thank you so much!!!
I was so happy to see you use Danish oil and then still be able to buff the epoxy to clear again. I am in the middle of a project where the epoxy is level with the surface but I want Danish oil on the wood and also for the epoxy to be clear. Well done and thanks.
I found building a router plane was essential. They pour epoxy and don't tell you that they wait as many as 3 days for it to dry. They don't tell you about how you can stir it for patterns in the epoxy or when to stir. They don't tell you how much it costs. I am thinking of starting a TH-cam channel just to address all this stuff.
Great job, great result! Thank you!!! Only objection: you shoud show us more of final result in a film, allowing us to admire the table and enjoy the wiew from all sides!
Wow. Excellent channel and presentation. This is the next son and dad project! Thank you. I really like your saw. I think that listing the materials and breaking down their use in such a simple manner makes this presentation work.
Amazing video!! Learned a lot from it. I was thinking about starting this as a hobby. But never found good videos about learning it and explanations.. till now. Great video!!
I love the clarity on the finished product! I hope that some good stuff you used in those miters! I just finished my first river table and I'm pretty keen on trying it again!
I love the table and the way you have explained this project very helpful I've watched alot of these as I'm thinking of having ago at it myself but haven't got all your awesome tools so will start small thankyou for the inspiration to do it with me luck I'll need it
That looks so good. I definitely want to give this a try! So glad that I've found this video because buying resin seems to be a minefield with other firms.
Thanks, we're really glad you like it. Yes, we are aware that there's a lot of products out there these days but... let's just say, perhaps they don't always perform as you might hope! Look forward to having you on board.
If you're going to cut the whole surface off with a router at the end, probably don't need to worry about any dust settling on top at the resin curing stage. :)
This is true but there's always an outside chance that dust or dirt could sink down into the resin (below the surface that you're going to sand off) so it doesn't hurt to keep things tidy. Also, not everyone will route the surface flat, if you were leaving the whole table with a resin surface (and so you'd poured more resin over the whole surface) then you would probably be able to get away with just polishing the surface, in which case dust or dirt would be more of a problem.
It 's really a very beautiful explanation and I congratulate you on the true creativity that you have provided and which you will provide ....In fact, I'm working on a product like this exactly and in two or three weeks my product will be ready.....But I have some difficulties in the necessary materials since I am in Arab countries in Egypt and I am a Syrian nationality....Very soon I will show on TH-cam producers as well ....Thank you and good luck
Adelaide Moulding and Casting Supplies in Australia have epoxy resins available for this usage, as well as pearlex powders. I happen to work there, and can provide assistance if you'd like to inquire.
Haha, I don't think it's possible to put a video on TH-cam without some dislikes. 300 out of nearly a million views isn't too bad. We're more focused on the 10,000 who appreciate what we've done and took their time to give us a like :D
Wow TH-cam is so listening to my life. I never watch these types of videos,and the past couple of days me and my mother have been sanding down a table and staining it. Well she’s talking about putting epoxy polystyrene to seal the table up and give it a shine. Well what do I know now?! I’m getting all kinds of diy tutorials on how to do it. Smh TH-cam get a life and quit stalking me. Pls😂
it‘s because your smartphone is listening to you. try it. have a mock conversation with yourself about how much you would like to have let‘s say... baby toys. that you are definitely in the market for ‘baby toys‘. soon enough you‘ll see a lot of baby toys ads and your recommended feed will be full of baby toy reviews and such. same with texts emails phone calls, phisically lurking in specializeds shops (location services) and so on. AI connects the customer and the bussiness in the most efficient way. i noticed this like 5 years ago when i was looking for a job. soon enough igot hired. at a wood workshop and that's why i'm here now. working with wood has grown on me. so in a way AI formed me withits suggestions. makes you think how deep this goes...
lucydais x it looks like it hasen’tbeen cut straight, has a slight curve. I would make sure it’s cut straight and possibly use a thinner glue, you can see that there was glue in the middle of the mitre. There are super strong timber glues that are thin that can make seamless mitres. I use them at work for my timber joins. Lots of tape and some glue. Close the mitre up tight and tape and clamp it. After sanding should look 100% seamless.
Being a carpenter and made these tables.....your mitre joints are horrendous. Good video though for beginners looking to get into these kinda projects. Glass cast is also an excellent product
Need to better set upyour table, use some kind of joint (domino, dowels ect) and create clamps rig to make perfect 45* angle. Simple way is using hot glue and wood scraps to make platform for clamps

Trust me, we've got this! The difference isn't much; the relative density of GlassCast 50 is between 1.07 and 1.1 meaning that at most it's 10% different in density to water. Although generally there is correlation, viscosity (thickness) is not directly related to density. Also, GlassCast is actually pretty low viscosity, especially compared with more conventional epoxies.
Great presentation...very clear. Thanks for all the links to the products. The key struggle is finding the right timber merchant and I am wondering for the more technical bit that requires specialist tools I wonder if specific workshops can do this for a small fee.
You should be able to get the timber merchant to cut the wood to size and belt sand or plane it flat for you for a small charge. You then just need to to the actual making of the table as seen in the video.
Rich....if U Rich w/ideas U'll be Rich. Nice nice project....thnks for all your valuable instructions in this Video & I have the resin Info...…too. Happy New Year...Amigo
Looks great and the way you explain it it looks so much easier that it probably is! You're a great teacher and your art is awesome!! Do you have any problems with bubbles in resin- do you have to use a pressure pot?...
They're not really an issue, no - So long as you have properly sealed the wood and if the resin itself is at or above 20C it will self-release air very well. You can aid it with a Blow-torch or heat gun on a low setting (as in the video) but whilst a pressure pot or vacuum chamber would do no harm, they shouldn't be necessary.
De lo mejorcito en videos, enhorabuena. Una pregunta, sii tienes necesidad de lijar entre capa y capa, no se verá que la primera es traslúcida? o hay que abrillantar antes de poner la segunda capa?, gracias.
Finally no horrible music (like others do) + nice explanation (like others don't). Thumbs up!

Thank you so much 🙂, glad you enjoyed it.
That was the craziest looking number 9 I've ever seen written
Thanks for that. I understand now. I thought it was a g! 😉

Cleanest epoxi table that I have seen, and I have seen plenty... Hats off!
I have watched a lot of videos on this subject - building the knowledge and confidence to have a go and I have to say this is by far the best one I have seen. Thank you!
I've watched numerous videos on how to build a resin table. This is the most clear and easily understandable one yet.Thank you.
R R Totally agree. My son is doing a river table for his gcse. This was enormously helpful. A big thank you

BEST EXPLANATION EVER!!! Great work, great speaker, etc. THANK YOU!!!
Ive seen some dozen or so River Table guides...and this is the best one. Nice job guys!
That is one of the best how tos I've watched. Nice and easy for me to understand and I knew nothing before this, only that it looked awsum. Thank you
I was so happy to see you use Danish oil and then still be able to buff the epoxy to clear again. I am in the middle of a project where the epoxy is level with the surface but I want Danish oil on the wood and also for the epoxy to be clear. Well done and thanks.
I love these resin projects. I'm about to make a barn door table with resin. Thanks for sharing!
Please post results then come back and leave a comment!
Finally a video that explains the whole process, including finishing! Very straight to the point and understandable! Thank you!
You're very welcome, we're glad you liked it.
Great job and best "How to Make Resin River Table" l've seen on TH-cam.
Every time i see your video,i think you are an artist
Thanks Shnnen :)
What these videos never show is how much time this work actually takes. Just did my second table. Built my own legs, 40 hours work over two weeks.
Did it turn out well?? Any tips for people who are wanting to do it for the first Tim's?
First time*
I found building a router plane was essential.
They pour epoxy and don't tell you that they wait as many as 3 days for it to dry.
They don't tell you about how you can stir it for patterns in the epoxy or when to stir.
They don't tell you how much it costs.

Outstanding workmanship!
What a beautiful table and a fantastic explanation. Thank you.
Very good video with all the details and links to tools and materials use. Thank you very much.
Thanks Niresh, glad you enjoyed it.
Easy and the best explaination comparing to the other videos online Thank YOU
The most professionally presented video. Thambus up!
Thanks Ibrahim :)
Thanks for this great instructional video. I’ve never done this before and would like to try my hand at it. This video will help
The best video about river table. Congratulations! Huges from Brasil!
Thanks Miguel, that's great to hear. Sending vibes back to you from the UK :)
Great job, great result! Thank you!!!
Only objection: you shoud show us more of final result in a film, allowing us to admire the table and enjoy the wiew from all sides!
Wow. Excellent channel and presentation. This is the next son and dad project! Thank you. I really like your saw. I think that listing the materials and breaking down their use in such a simple manner makes this presentation work.
This video was very inspirational. Your table turned out beautiful. Thanks for taking the time to produce this video.
amazing method of teaching....i got every thing told by you.....keep it up dude
This channel is very professional.
Love this and the finished product is ace too.
Ace....... hahah
love it...
Thoroughly enjoyed your video. Thanks
You're very welcome, glad you enjoyed it.
Amazing video!! Learned a lot from it. I was thinking about starting this as a hobby. But never found good videos about learning it and explanations.. till now. Great video!!
Fantastic video. The Glasscast product isn't available around here but it was awesome to see $300 of epoxy at work! Thanks!
I love the clarity on the finished product! I hope that some good stuff you used in those miters! I just finished my first river table and I'm pretty keen on trying it again!
How did it go? Your first table? I'm considering making one.
Very nice and beautiful work love it
Thank you :-)
I’m only three minutes in & you’ve explained more then other videos. Thank you so much for sharing. N.K :) You now have a new subscriber too :)
Agreed
I love the table and the way you have explained this project very helpful I've watched alot of these as I'm thinking of having ago at it myself but haven't got all your awesome tools so will start small thankyou for the inspiration to do it with me luck I'll need it
ricky chapman I know right. So jealous. Best wishes. Same boat here.
Nicely done and very well presented. I don't know if anyone else had the same thought when the miters were being cut - Pen blanks! 🙂
Just such a fantastic tutorial. Now going to look at your products as I have a project in mind :) Thank you !!
Very clear and crisp explanations. Good job
That looks so good. I definitely want to give this a try! So glad that I've found this video because buying resin seems to be a minefield with other firms.
Thanks, we're really glad you like it. Yes, we are aware that there's a lot of products out there these days but... let's just say, perhaps they don't always perform as you might hope! Look forward to having you on board.
This is freaking gorgeous. And you make it look so easy. Thanks!
Appreciate the kind feedback!
It is a very admirable task. thank you
Amazing project and finishing.
if only I could do something as beautiful as this beautiful table .. I am jealous :) very nice work
give it a try
Very well done and explained.
I am really impressed!!
Excellent video,very clear and well presented. Nice table also.👍
Thank you, glad you liked it!
Thank You so much for providing such useful Information!
excellent video, crystal clear process! loved the amazing table and you certainly got my attention throughout. Can't wait to make my own😃
Thanks Daniel! We really appreciate the comment, good luck if you do try this out yourself!
Just beautiful
Truly a beautiful project. Gives me the courage to try it out for myself!
Definitely let us know how you get on :)
Thank you, wery inspiring video!
Great job , clearly demonstrated thank you
You're very welcome, I'm glad you liked it. We did try to focus on making it as clear as possible.
If you're going to cut the whole surface off with a router at the end, probably don't need to worry about any dust settling on top at the resin curing stage. :)

Bro! I thought I was the only one who was thinking this. I utterly believe you!
How absolutely beautiful
Where is the handbook?
Just finishing off a couple of the sections now. Sorry for the delay, should be online very soon.
it's on their website www.easycomposites.co.uk/downloads/How-to-Make-a-Resin-River-Table-GlassCast-Handbook.pdf
MySchizo Buddy big salute, good work
BRAVO, Outstanding work!
You're very welcome. Glad you liked it.
those mitres look horribl but the rest lookss great
I agree, what did they do wrong? What would be a better method?
lucydais x it looks like it hasen’tbeen cut straight, has a slight curve. I would make sure it’s cut straight and possibly use a thinner glue, you can see that there was glue in the middle of the mitre. There are super strong timber glues that are thin that can make seamless mitres. I use them at work for my timber joins. Lots of tape and some glue. Close the mitre up tight and tape and clamp it. After sanding should look 100% seamless.
Exactly.
Nothing wrong with the miters themselves, but adding a layer of resin can make the alignment look a bit off.
yeah even tho the whole table looks awesome, those mitres rly are an eyesore to look at as a carpenter :´D
Its really nice and beautiful.
I cringed a little with the miter clamping, but beautiful job overall!
Haha ! I did too !
Lots of great information too !
You’re a rockstar ! Thank you for this professional video
Being a carpenter and made these tables.....your mitre joints are horrendous. Good video though for beginners looking to get into these kinda projects. Glass cast is also an excellent product
This video is soo helpful! Instantly added to my watch again list! Thanks a lot, going to follow the steps exactly as told.
How to spend £300 and get unsatisfing with 45° joint :(
I agree what would you recommend?
Need to better set upyour table, use some kind of joint (domino, dowels ect) and create clamps rig to make perfect 45* angle. Simple way is using hot glue and wood scraps to make platform for clamps
Thanks
Downhill 24 yeah i was so impressed until that...

Good job my friend
2:06 asscast?? You need to take a step to the side. 🤣
wow very nice work
1 liter does not = 1 Kg unless you are using a liquid with the same specific density of water
You're blowing my mind! ;o) ...It's plenty close enough for the purposes of estimating, which is all we're doing in that calculation.
You should check on it, I think with a liquid as thick as the resin is the difference would be a fair bit
Trust me, we've got this! The difference isn't much; the relative density of GlassCast 50 is between 1.07 and 1.1 meaning that at most it's 10% different in density to water. Although generally there is correlation, viscosity (thickness) is not directly related to density. Also, GlassCast is actually pretty low viscosity, especially compared with more conventional epoxies.
that shut him up
Lol
That looks awesome!!👍
Love the product, But the miters are atrocious
I am very inspired to do one by myself, thank you very much
Thanks Danny, yes, go for it. Check out the GlassCast website at www.glasscastresin.com for all the materials, advice and further help and support.
A really Fun project with 400€ of resine...
Well, we used 10kg of resin. Even including VAT the resin would be £166 (which would be 188€ ).
Which is $302 Canadian!!! Wow!
Cool products but way too expensive for me!!
Meddy Saber there's lots of places. Maybe not that same brand but the same process. Home Depot or any hardwood or woodworking store will have it
Arizona Heatwave and approx 12500 philippine peso. Damn thats expensive
or 13 camels! damm thats expesive
the giant saw that he use to cut the dead tree carcass in half also cost like 1000 camels
Amazing Video!
What happened to the usual guy?
Is he in prison?
He's currently working on a big movie down at Pinewood. Or maybe not. Paul will be back, we're just giving Rich his time in the limelight!
I don't care at all! I fell in love with this guy's eyes!!!! hahahahah
Sir this is awesome
4:29 ass cast
What a fantastic video. Thanks!
Thanks for the tutorial ! Very clear !
Great presentation...very clear. Thanks for all the links to the products. The key struggle is finding the right timber merchant and I am wondering for the more technical bit that requires specialist tools I wonder if specific workshops can do this for a small fee.
You should be able to get the timber merchant to cut the wood to size and belt sand or plane it flat for you for a small charge. You then just need to to the actual making of the table as seen in the video.
Thanks for your effort, great job.
You're welcome Dusko, glad you enjoyed it.
It’s not a TH-cam composite video without a British dude laying down some resin.
Good Teacher
Very good tutorial. Beautiful end result too!
Again a stunning video with some great instructions...... thanks.
Rich....if U Rich w/ideas U'll be Rich. Nice nice project....thnks for all your valuable instructions in this Video & I have the resin Info...…too. Happy New Year...Amigo
Very nice i loved it
Looks great and the way you explain it it looks so much easier that it probably is! You're a great teacher and your art is awesome!! Do you have any problems with bubbles in resin- do you have to use a pressure pot?...
They're not really an issue, no - So long as you have properly sealed the wood and if the resin itself is at or above 20C it will self-release air very well. You can aid it with a Blow-torch or heat gun on a low setting (as in the video) but whilst a pressure pot or vacuum chamber would do no harm, they shouldn't be necessary.
Great video an presentation,just wondering how strong are those 90 degree joins
The joins are strong enough that 2 people have sat on it, like a small bench, and there was no noticeable movement of the joints.
De lo mejorcito en videos, enhorabuena. Una pregunta, sii tienes necesidad de lijar entre capa y capa, no se verá que la primera es traslúcida? o hay que abrillantar antes de poner la segunda capa?, gracias.
La capa subsiguiente de resina rellena todos los arañazos del lijado, por lo que no es necesario pulir entre las capas.
