      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 +7

      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 👍🏼

But my favorite part of watching you, is your integrity with your customers. I can see why they’re so happy with what you do. Not only are you skilled and do an amazingly beautiful work, but how you do it, the skill you put into it, and how you think of them first, I really find admirable. I have subscribed to your station, obviously. And look forward to watching more of what you accomplish.

I was looking for a video on a resin river pour on an 75 year old drum table ( never found one) but clicked on your site as I saw you using resin on old wood. Ha, the only tools I have is a Dremel and a cheap sander so I am not watching to learn how to do what you are doing, but I really like watching your process, your creativity and your honesty when things go wrong. I am learning some things though for my piddly projects so thanks for bringing us into your workshop

    I am late to the party, but I just want to say that redoing that last plug was so worth it. The previous one was way too tan. The new plug was perfect; same hue, same little tiny dots that followed the grain. It really is true; nobody really likes redoing things, but sometimes a redo, even a small one, can make all the difference. Also, really liking the Scott cameos.

    Your integrity and craftsmanship are exceptional. The consult table was my favorite because of your process ,the Dining room for overall aesthetics. Great job bro! I did a lot of high end work in Newport RI most notably Rockery Hall . I ve not done any of you're specialized artistry and I ve just found your channel recently. I really enjoy how honesty your production is. Very refreshing.

    I have been a carpenter for ten years... haven't seen or had a problem with anything you've done as of yet...loved watching you, learning from you and seeing you learn. The issue I have is "nobody likes sanding". To me it's the pre finish, it's relaxing and therapeutic. It's where you get to prep all your work for the finale.. This was a stellar project sir! Props on the fortitude to see it out!

      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 used to have a small creative business, and one of the worst overheads was damage in the mail, even when I used heaps of protective packaging. 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 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.
