      if you would like an old secret about cracks.....use a vacuum cleaner and tape on the bottom side.
      the vacuum will suck the resin/glue/water/stain deeper into the wood....
      the tape is to direct the vacuum....
      tape the backside around the vacuum hose opening and as if youre sealing the hose but add extra so it doesnt suck air from "around the corner" or 2" away....
      think 6"x6" of tape with a 2" vacuum hose in the middle...youll suck air through the wood...
      now tape around the crack so air will go through the crack but not the tape......
      and fill the crack with epoxy/glue or whatever like normal
      the vacuum works in all directions so itll work 90 degrees off / around the corner too...just use tape ror whatever to direct the flow of air...its kinda like ducts in a computer...except not free flowing...
      but...it does work and work well....
      i use it for epoxy embedding anchors and strengthening the wood around the anchors...
      thin liquids move a lot further through the wood and can be directed a bit....
      took a lot of playing to make it a science
      but only a little fiddling will show it should work well for you.....
      best part it only takes a couple seconds to set up...some woods that epoxy will move fast and far as the wood acts more like a sponge than youd ever believe (vacuum is a strange powerful thing)

    • @kazzxtrismus
      @kazzxtrismus ปีที่แล้ว +10

      possible problems:...it can work too good.....
      usually you can turn the vac on for just a few seconds to get epoxy to the bottom of a crack.
      a few seconds more to make sure it gets inside the wood a bit....
      a few seconds more and its fully impregnated the wood all the way through effecting color
      a few seconds more and the wood is now and forever a hardened fiberglass sponge (my goal).
      hard dense woods are still sponges...and very spongy/absorbent.....
      a 7hp vacuum table will suck hard enough to hold 12" of mdf down like its clamped.....
      7hp is enough/needed to hold all 4ft x 8ft x24 sheets of 1/2"......
      a shop vac is tons for a crack or plug...sometimes too much if my adhd kicks in

      That part where Scott said to redo the peg was staged. You could tell because he purposely made that peg smaller so he could drill it out. I’m thinking a-lot of the back and forth with Scott is staged for comedic effect.

      There was more to that hole actually. It was filled early with wood, then epoxy from the back side leaked down and stained around the edge. You can see how it’s black around the outside. And I assure you I didn’t think that far ahead for the videos sake 👍🏼

    The touch of adding the waterfall end table at no cost is a wonderful way to do business. The customers had already accepted your mistake and were so excited about the new pieces, so to go the extra mile and add another piece speaks volumes about your character. Brought a smile to my face almost as big as the smile on your customers!

      When you "fix" an unanticipated challenge on a piece of wood, you didn't fix an "error". It was an unanticipated challenge. Keeps your mind inventive.

    As far as updating the customer. I use to build houses. I gave them a weekly progress report every Friday. At first I thought it was a pain, but then realized I was setting expectations, and was able to answer concerns before they became a 911 problem. I loved all of the pieces, but I have to say, the water fall end table was my favorite. great video.

The sheer amount of integrity, hard work, dedication, and professionalism you have shown in this little two/three video series is incredible and really shows why you have had as much success as you have. Have you ever tried doing an L desk for like an office space? I think that would turn out absolutely gorgeous.

      I'm in metalworking and I apply the same rule to my work. Every time you know better about something but ignore it, you're gambling on shortcuts and your own expectations don't have authority. As the professional, you should look closer than the customer, that how you make sure he never spots something inadequate, or worse, thinking it's not great enough but just silently looking for somebody else to work with.

    I actually liked the most that small table 35:30 that you added as a gift. The fact that it is mostly made with black epoxy (looks like it) just feels nice. It's not wood that is the main part of the build, it's black epoxy. Wood there is just like filling what's missing. Epoxy and wood switched their rolls of who is filling up who.

    18:14 Here's a tip for these tough decisions: Cut the opposite end first, leaving as much material on as possible, so you can see in advance if going to the absolute limit on the end you want to trim off would be acceptable. If not, walk it inward, always trimming a bit off the least acceptable end each time. You don't want to cut deep on one end just to find out that the opposite end is problematic afterward. Stop walking it once you are happy with both ends or you've hit the limit of what you can remove, because now you've found the ideal balance.

    So first of all, the dining table, the hall table and the desk are pretty much what I have come to expect from your work, so, while I am impressed with your work, imagination, attention to detail, and refusal to settle for anything but a work of beauty, I'm not all that surprised. Looks just as beautiful as everything else I have seen on this channel. The end table? That is a different story. I'm always in awe when you come up with something just a little different. your "warped" end table and now this. Just a thing of beauty. Watching your channel has inspired me to start working on wood/epoxy tables of my own. Quite a smaller scale tho. My current is a river table with a tiny submerged submarine. (for my grandson who serves in the Navy as a sonar operator on a sub.) Thank you for the inspiration and confidence.

I guess you just insure the living heck out of this when it heads off to Europe. Also, I bought a bicycle in France and I'm in Australia - and the shipping companies wanted $2,500+ for shipping. What in the heck is this going to cost to ship at that weight!? It could be more than the cost of the tables.

    I love all four, but I’m blown away by the way that you “floated” the corner into the console table.
    Very impressive!
    How did you make the “extra” end table? Did you make a video of that? It’s like an optical illusion … just flowing over the edge of the table top into the supporting end!
    I know that you’re fairly self deprecating, but I think your talent is immense!
    My Dad was a carpenter/joiner and 60+ years ago, I was his “apprentice” and I knew the difference between all his handsaws and learnt to appreciate how beautiful wood grain was. I wish he was still alive to watch your channel.😢. He’s someone else who would appreciate the detail you go to (like matching grain and colour for the tiny wooden plugs) and he taught me how to pay attention to detail!
    He used to say “if a things worth doing, it’s worth doing well!”! Like me, he would love your work!
