Not just how to make an epoxy resin table, but how to clean up epoxy when you're done. And everything in between. This build went pretty well, although I did break a corner off at one point! So you get to see how I fixed that too.

Wood or metal - it would totally depend on the actual table. My husband is the woodworker, but I watch too and am very thankful that you explain everything as you go. It makes what my husband is doing make more sense to me. He watched this one over my shoulder and was quite impressed with the tip on how to get the epoxy out of the mix buckets. I see little blobs of epoxy with attached sticks in my future. Thanks again for such an entertaining and informative channel.

Another method to consider when attaching the small piece of wood to the corner is to use electrical tape instead of painters tape. It’s stretchy and will apply a small clamping force to the piece as it dries. Great work sir, much respect.

@christophercrawford2736 Жыл бұрын

I have no experience so I may be wrong, but I’d consider putting down some painters tape on the table first, then using the electrical tape to clamp the patch piece on and not have any adhesive from the electrical tape sticking to the table.

@user-ev4pb9xj7e Жыл бұрын

Electrical tape will leave a residue. A strap clamp would hold that piece in place, just loop it around the tabletop and ratchet it down.

In Australia in major cities we have “ men’s sheds” women can go participate also; But the basic inference is that it is like a work shop with most industrial tools that are shared by the group. There are also private makers spaces that are rented out. But basically you pay for the half or full day and use anything you wish. Some locals drop off the most amazing timber and metal for us to use at no cost

She inspired me to think about doing it as well with her. I’m not a good finisher, but can build. She is the person with the finishing skills. I live on the east coast. A stones throw from New York. She seems to get clients who love this old stuff that is finished from the New York area and they are not shy on paying a good dollar amount for some pieces that are very unique. So videos like this are appreciated. I hoping to create some nice stuff. Thank you.

Love this table, excellent patch on the corner as well, I'm a Staircase builder by trade, I specialised in curved handrails. Another way I've found to fix difficult patches is to use 2 types of glue, standard PVA wood glue on the outside edge of the timber faces and a super glue on the inside of the faces. Personally I've found a product called Mitre Fast, a 2 part super glue that bonds in 10seconds as the most efficient method. This allows you to fix the issue completely and move on within the hour without having to wait for the PVA to fully cure.

So hats off to you for sorting it out so brilliantly!

Watching others do what they do well is rewarding in of itself. I once made a bowl on a lathe, back in 7th grade Wood Shop, but I have no illusions about ever being able to create this kind of art. But I appreciate it. My attention to your work comes from being an high school English teacher, from reading great stories and articles and from needing to read all the way to the end to see understand the finished product, or from writing a story, essay, or article, and needing to finish to see how well I have done. Thankfully, my mistakes can be fixed in less than 24 hours, but I was incredibly impressed with the patch to the corner, to preserve the integrity of the table you promised to deliver. Watching you create the table, even at warp speed was interesting and fun. I don't think you talked too much. Well, maybe for the experts watching your work, perhaps you may have. But I followed your verbal script and your actions, and never lost focus. Well done. Well done.

Hi. I really like that you don't know it all and you problem solve. I have been working with epoxy for a couple years. I am still learning which works best in my area. I just want to say I appreciate what you do, and you answer questions I didn't know I had.

I've always been interested in getting into making stuff like this had I the funds to do so. Haha. Uncle is a retired carpenter who made anything you could think of out of wood/epoxy..etc Was alot of fun doing stuff with him when I did. So so so fun to watch

Pursue your dream buddy! No need to be rich. You can buy your tools at yard sales or thrift stores for a fraction of their original price. Don't forget Market place on FB and such. Also start with small projects. Would cost less and possible errors won't be as heavy on your budget. Come on!

I really love a wood top with a metal base/legs. I’m pretty much an apprentice carpenter. I just did my first job solo. I had the same chipping issue I made a kneeler for my pastor. Masking tape is incredibly useful. If you’re using a chop saw another way to help is put your revealing side face down. Really enjoyed the video thanks man!

Metal because Up The Irons!!! But seriously wood. And I am interested in getting started but have no tools and no shop . This is such an amazing transformation. Your enthusiasm and commitment to improving your skills is inspiring. I am 52 and have no proper skills. I can take things apart and usually figure out ( with you tube usually) how to fix them. It would be so satisfying to be able to transform raw materials into beautiful and useful things. Thanks for posting your work.

Great repair also. Sometimes we have to slow down towards the end of the cut. Also, with the track saw. You can stop and trim the cut off so it's not dangling. Or, change the saw blade. The carbines get dull or damages

Metal, I love the copper bases with the darker tops. I'm not a woodworker, but enjoy watching your videos. Who knows maybe some day I'll attempt a small epoxy/wood table, it looks very fun to make and I'm sure is very satisfying seeing it finished knowing you created it with your own hands!

@rodneil7732 2 жыл бұрын

Wood or Metal, depends on the shape or the overall look of the finish. Might also depend where the finished product is being placed, ie: on it's own or with other furniture, what do the chairs look like. Nothing is as simple as one or the other, if it was easy, everyone would do it. Love your work. I'm inspired to give it a try, love working with wood but never tried anything with epoxy. G'day from Australia.

Always love the thoroughness of your videos and the honesty. I've never seen a blown out corner repaired so well. I would have just the shortened the table another cut to get it off. Metal or wood base? Depends on the style of the table. Cant be one or the other for me, so both!

You may want to invest in a system for flipping these large heavy tables over. I work in a custom wood door shop and we make large heavy doors and most of the older guys in the shop have some pretty serious shoulder issues from years of flipping doors. When you flip with the full weight of the table coming down on one shoulder it can mess you up long term. Love the video!

Wood and metal! I love this combination! I am just about to register my own wood and resin business! I am making clocks, small tables and basically trying everything new with resin. I made my first table one year ago, and that one was inspired from your video with the burned wood. Sadly, mine didn’t come out so beautiful as yours, but it is a learning process and my pieces get better and better! :) Thank you for your free content and sharing your knowledge to all of us!
