Hey Sam, about your "meter or CM or MM" question: The standard is mm or meter in building/carpenter world. However, the sizes you work with would in whole centimeters, saving you the need to switch between them. It's a bit uncommon, but a lot easier for you and us metric people can switch easily between them. 6ft->180cm will work just fine. Milimeters are fine

@Vaterkrater Жыл бұрын

I heard they use tape measures (and building plans) with only mm in Australia. Supposedly reduces waste significantly.

@endofradio3507 Жыл бұрын

In my experience (UK), 'cm' are only used by school kids, you'd get laughed at for using anything other than 'mm' and 'm' in industry.

@MrMrXtra Жыл бұрын

a carpenter usually measures in mm at all times, atleast in sweden. u dont want any decimals involved

@Devi0urS0ul Жыл бұрын

I agree, but cm is easier as allrounder. A slab sized 18000mm is a bit much, explaining when to use m, cm or mm is difficult because we switch naturally between them, but putting it into words is hard. Using cm as a global default is easier to do and all of us mentally switch to m or mm internally :)

@MaximEck96 Жыл бұрын

Use whatever you want that's the point of the Si unit system... Easy to convert to one from another unit 👍👌 1m =10dm =100cm =1000mm I thinkthat multiplying by 10 is accessible to anyone in the world 😉 But engineering units are basically mm or m depending on the size.

Sam - love the finished product. I could just put me a nice comfortable chair in the center of the room and stare at it all day. Absolutely beautiful and you did a fabulous job.

Sam, I've had that exact osmo finish on my kitchen countertop for 7 years and my living room floor for 5 years with no issues and it has held up really well.

I think he just didn't put it on thick enough , it's literally wax and natural oil so no reason why it wouldn't hold up perfect

"Sam", I'm sure this is an older video but first time I have seen it. I have seen this piece on your wall for some time now and thoroughly enjoyed your prep process for this piece. Your game has really improved since you've got your full time video/assistant. Keep up the good work. Love your videos!

Sam, that is beyond beautiful. Many years ago I tried doing a carving in redwood and it nearly drove me mad with the softness and hardness of one slab. Yours ended up with a wonderful fire in the grain that I adore and I have to applaud you in keeping the saw cut. In my opinion, it adds another dimension to the story of the tree's life.

Sam, I always admired this piece and was going to ask about it. I'm glad I come across this video. It is an absolutely stunning piece of art.

Great work Sam-I just finished my first ever epoxy work. A small coffee table for my covered patio. For a first time, it turned out alright. Not what I was working towards, several adjustments had to be made, but ended up happy with it.

Sam, your work is exquisite. Your quest for the deep finish reminded me of my high school (1964) wood shop where we built our own coffee table: used varnish (I think!); sanded between coats and after the final coat, used linseed oil with pumice and buffed to a high shine. Best wishes to you!

Sam, I am in love with this piece! Never seen anyone work with redwood, gorgeous!

hey sam! now that you have a bowtie template for sale, you should make a bowtie table! Lots of slabs of mismatched woods held together with mismatched bowties. It would almost be like a woodwork patchwork quilt! Amazing video as always!

Sam, that's the most beautiful slab I've ever seen, and the depth you got out of it is absolutely amazing. Hats off for this one!

Sam, I am just watching this and trying to catch up to all of your amazing projects. I am amazed at your creativity. Furniture and cabinet building is certainly, but what you do is a quantum leap beyond.
