In this video I used epoxy to first fix table wobble. Then to make it look like the same table was floating or levitating. I had this idea when I was building a dining table a few weeks back. I needed to fix table wobble which is a pretty common woodworking problem. And I had the idea to fix it with epoxy, wondering if it would be more inconspicuous. That actually worked really well, so from there I took it to the extreme.

The epoxy feet are a great add on for outdoor furniture to prevent water wicking up into the feet and eventually rotting out. Plus, the epoxy is less likely to scratch a deck or patio surface than other hardware solutions. Thanks for the great idea!

As someone else noted, all epoxy yellows. Still useful, wood whisperer did it on outdoor furniture to prevent moisture wicking. I built two Paul Sellers dining tables, scaled down to German Shepard height, and did 1/4" epoxy "feet" on them years ago and they work great. To make, flipped table over, circled blue tape around tapered ends, added just the epoxy needed and then used rasp and sanding to level, shape, and clean up.

Rounded shelves in rounded dados look really good! If you "cut" the dado a bit deeper than its radius you should overcome the stability problem you had in the dry fit.

@JBLewis 2 жыл бұрын

I was thinking the same sort of thing: depth of cut of the dado needs to be (slightly) greater than the radius of the router bit.

I really enjoyed the “live” thought by thought of your approach. What if… you put a delete wraps of tape around the feet and then cast them in some kind of mold (plaster of Paris?) …the cut the feet down, then use your mold to cast the epoxy.

Super cool approach. But where I live many of the houses are hundreds of years old (mine is from 1750 but rebuild in 1929) and very few have totally flat floors. I either don't worry at all about making legs perfectly flat, because if you move the furniture it will wobble on a different leg. The best option are simply screw/adjustable feet to keep them always free for adjusting. Always enjoy your videos and designs though!! Thanks for sharing.

would have been neat to see the middle shelves still able to slide, so they could be set unaligned from the top & bottom shelves. So you could potentially put something a bit taller on those shelves but yes, having clear epoxy on the ends is an awesome looking addition

@jakebrake7054 Жыл бұрын

I’d be willing to guess that, using your CNC to cut and dado the legs, is partially why it came out so well balanced, and without the typical wobble of a traditionally designed four legged table. It allowed for you to get more acquainted with your creation than it usually does, by assembling it, and making sure the two center shelves were a nice fit throughout the dry. Wonderful thinking, it looks like you got some true enjoyment from this creation, especially since it didn’t go quite as planned. Nice work!

@warrenkrummeck3720 2 жыл бұрын

Howzit Gents, that bull-nose round-over bit is a cove bit. First encountered it on a table top that required a smooth transition from top to a small 'wall' around said top. Very handy on cnc because of the fact one can get a much bigger cutting diameter than say a bull-nose bit, (dia of shaft, most often).

It doesn't matter if it is a gimmick if it makes someone happy, so glad you showed me some techniques we can try.

Love this episode. The filleted edges are awesome. Definitely has the essence of vintage oak furniture, with a fresh approach. You could possibly try a Shou Sugi Ban finish on a project that doesn’t utilize resin. Be prepped for the char dust, may need to do light sanding and polishing outside on cardboard for that approach. Seal the char after polishing as well. Much love y’all. Keep it goin

@GuilhermeSilva-rp2it 2 жыл бұрын

Chris, great stuff. I guess there is a tip that can help you next time to "secure" the epoxy chunks to the end grain wood: before filling the epoxy chunk glasses, turn your table upside down; then, try drilling a hole (maybe 3/4" depth x Ø 1/2") on each leg end. This hole, once filled in with epoxy, will work as a tenon. Before epoxy dries, turn your table upside down again, and proceed the epoxy glasses filling.

Thanks for sharing this experiment. My architecture hero, Glenn Murcutt, once stated that he was never a fan of curves meeting curves as he felt it made a building too "syrupy." But with this design, you're using quite crisp lines and getting away with it. It's a fun piece. As for lining up the shelves, try a blue tape centre line marker for the top one, then use a plumb bob! And thank you for wearing pants. Really. Safety is important.

All that chocolate aside- i subscribed based on THIS video. I think it is my favorite (and im contemplating a copy of it) up to and including the feet.

I can think of 2 other versions of this table. One with epoxy shelves so you just see floating black legs or a second version with full epoxy legs and (really) floating black shelves. But yes, I realize that’s a lot of epoxy... And the pants reference led me to a name for your “art piece”: Flood Pants.

What about plaster molds for the resin leg-extensions? You could first make the full leg in wood, cover the last tip with sth like film, stand them into cups filled with plaster, then remove legs and film, chop off the tips, and proceed filling in with resin, etc. avoiding the cup melting mess ;)

There was a guy on a channel that flipped his outdoor furniture upside down and wrapped the ends of his legs in tape, and poured about a quarter inch pad of epoxy onto the legs and let it harden and then peeled the tape. It keeps the wood of the furniture off of the ground so it doesn’t absorb water. I wish I remember what channel that was from, but I do not remember now.

If you have a table with 4 even legs and it is wobbly because of an uneven floor, you can rotate it in such a way that it will not wobble. "The Wobbly Table Theorem" works every time, even if it means the table is pointing in a stupid direction.

Every time, except that there is no guarantee that the coincidences between a flat plane and an irregular surface occur in suitable relative positions to match your feet.
