the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. kzfaq.infoUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

Man. One of the best instructional videos I’ve seen. Thank you!

Got some value? 😂 Well... Great value as always 💕 Ive been working in renovation for some years now, and been a 'weekend worker ' with wood projects for my house for a couple of years. No point denying - I have a passion about wood. It is an amazing, multifaceted material. Yet you guys - being both educative in a great way, and doing beautiful work, provide information, inspiration and ideas with your posts. Great work as always ❤

Great video. Just the type of video I needed. Straight forward instructions with important details and graphics. Thanks!

You guys are killing it!!! Thanks so much for the videos!!!

Love the video, very helpful and a beautiful piece. If possible I’d like to see you guys do the same thing but with a couple of the other popular finishes such as osmos polyx or odies. And possibly a side to side comparison. One other thing that I think would be helpful is seeing how a project has held up over a period of time under continuous use. I don’t see much of that in the finishing videos out there. Love your guys content is why I’m suggesting. It’s be different from what others are doing

Hello! I'm watching You from Russia. A very wonderful table turned out! And you tell me a lot and just how to do it right! This is very good! Respect to You!

Another brilliant video. Fantastic dedication with all the water popping, very lucky customers.

Beautiful job I love the table can't wait to do my own 🥰

Absolutely beautiful, im just now getting into epoxy tables

Beautiful, and it was very helpful.

Jeff, I know this video has been out for a while but I’ve watched it many times and I now do the steps that you have recommended with great results. Thank you👍🥶

That is one beautiful table! Nice job!

The best sanding tips, thank you so much 👏👏👏❤️

Brilliant video very helpful and informative great job👍🏻

Really thorough step by step video that is both narrated well and easy to follow. No-one makes an epoxy River table on their own from start to finish free of imperfections! There are always a few mishaps that inevitably teach you to make a better product. I like how you gave the viewer solutions to these types of problems- it will save people a lot of time and money. inevitably encounter. I do have one question- in this video it appears as though you have applied one coat of the Rubio (hence the name mono-coat haha) to each side. If I want a higher sheen to my Rubio Mono coat do I need to use something other than a shop towel or white pad to rub in the product? In other words do I need a polisher? A terry cloth pad? Foam pad? I do like the look of Rubio mono coat but I can’t seem to get the ‘glassy’ or ‘polished marble’ look like some of the various live edge Epoxy River table videos available on YT.

This is an awesome video. Appreciate the info and details regarding finishing an epoxy table

Excellent vid! Great details.

Nice video clear concise and useful information!

Thanks for the tips. That table is magnificent💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Nice job keep sharing

Yes! Business tips and videos please!

Awesome video, thanks guys. How many total man hours do you project/budget allocate on an average dining table (let's say 6-8 ft long)? Trying to get a better sense of my own work flow (using RMC finishing, similar sanding routine, etc.) versus where others are at, so any insight you can offer would be helpful. Thank you so much for your channel!

Great video!

Very very useful 👍👍👍👍👍 thank you 💕💕💕

Thanks very well done and useful

This was Super helpful!! Thank you!!

Nice lesson.

Really love and appreciate this video and you guys taking the time and energy to produce it. I’m getting into epoxy tables and counters and it’s hard to get info on materials and methods, seems to be a guarded secret for most as if they don’t want anyone to know. So really appreciate you guys putting this out there to help us newbies. Super cool guys, and super helpful. Beautiful work too!

Thank you for youre important tips. Its possible to show us how do you finish a project with the final poor only with an clear epoxy layer? And how do you remove the drops during the drying process? Thank you.

That epoxy part looks like a drum finish and is beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for this informative video. When you flip the table to finish the other side, what do you put down to prevent damage to the finish on the completed side?

The best explanation video on KZfaq !!!!

Ive got a 8 inch da sander works so great for the 40 n 80 grit

All great advice- thanks

Very well done Thank you.

I had Rubio on my hardwood floors and it looked great. Unfortunately, it got tons of water spots and wasn't looking good after only a year. How has it been holding up to use for you guys?

Super cool

U guys❤ are , so helpful ❤ thx A lot ! Marvelous ❤️ thx😊

Man the center of that table is amazing!

What do you put under the bottom of the table after it's been finished and you're working on the top? Like is there a spacer to keep the sawhorses from marring the finished bottom? Or does it not really matter once you've buffed the oil off?

i just watched how to finish an epoxy plus wood for beginners it was very helpful as i am just starting wood projects i seen that you used a river table mold for dinning table were can i get one thanks for your time

Quality work

I can just say THANK YOU!!!

Have you thought about building entry doors for houses? This would make an amazing front door!

great video! loved the detail in sanding steps. whats the best model festool sander for this kind of work?

Really nice...the definitive "how to".

Great technique thanks for sharing, do you know what is the self life of the epoxy work?

Great video! I'm going to start using rubio monocoat as I am not getting a good result with using top coat epoxy.

Very Nice! video well done. Question - I'm working on a coffee table and I cant get rid of the pig tails in my epoxy (wood is fine) from my orbital sander. I switched over to hand sanding in one direction - took care of the pigtails but now I have micro lines (sanded up to 1000 grit) that even after using a buffing compound and buffer - I cant get my epoxy to clear up. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Do you find the Rubio helps to seal, harden or otherwise protect the resin work as well?

That's a nice looking build. Do you guys ever get requests for stainless or mild steel legs?

Thanks!

Thank you.❤

Great Job .............Great Video...one common issue that I feel is never discussed is the epoxy when it comes to Tables? Anyone that has ever polished epoxy understands it rarely looks as great as a flood coat IMO. With that said, does the oil finish last on the epoxy? Obviously that oil makes it shine/clear (pending on quality of sanding) but after several cleanings does the oil harden/adhere to the finished epoxy? Thanks

One question. Have you faced any problem by sanding up to 220 grit? Rubio suggests to sand up to 150-180 grit. I saw a similar question but I haven’t found your answer. Thanks.

👏👏👏👏bravissimi

Inlaid c channel. When to use them, when not to? How do you recommend hiding them in translucent pours?

WOW!!

Damn that table came out great!! A couple of questions, sorry it's on an old video. First is does it matter which side is up during the pour/dry of the epoxy? Do the interesting features within the epoxy just show up from the stirring? Last, what is the minimum final thickness you recommend? I was thinking of building a dresser and using this kind of technique for the drawer fronts. Would a half inch be too thin for a 2 foot by 6 inch drawer ? Thanks for any help.

Hello, I realize this is two years old but I just came across it. Awesome work by the way. My question is, when you oil the underside first do you have to wait for that to cure before you flip it and do the top side? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Nice Work😍

Did you have to finish the bottom as well? Before you began pouring epoxy, what grit did you use to prep the web?

What a great video, thank you. I am just getting into the epoxy tables, etc. I have stupid question…. Do you Buff the 2 part finish after wiping it clean, or just leave it be?

I am working on a piece that is a cross grain slab what do you recommend for sanding and finish, would it be the same process?

I love the finish. If I have a piece that I want to use this finish on but I need to drill hooks into the piece, should I do the finish first or add the hooks then apply the finish. Thank you.

What a great video ,thank you,I have on issue,when sanding my epoxy/wood table I'm getting an uneven feel between epoxy and wood meet,is the wood sanding faster then the wood ,would you have experienced this ,tips

Beautiful job guys. What kind of wood are you working with in this video?

I've come across your video and was wondering about a couple of things. Do you cover the timber with resin before adding the top coat or bring it level to the wood? I hope this makes sense

Did you wipe down the bottom before flipping it? Also, did you put C-Channels the length to prevent sag? I’m about to do my first dining room table with 2” thick walnut but after it’s surfaced it will probably be just under 2”.

Doing my first coffee table. This is a very informative video. I have two questions- 1. How much thickness should a coffee table be in order not to warp? 2. I used sandpaper upto 360 grit, however there are still scratches and marks, do I go over higher grits? Some videos show sanding upto 3000 wet grit.

I have the most basic of all questions, but how do you do the otherside of the table, do you wait until the top dries then flip it ?

WOW, amazing informative video man! What was the size if this dinning table? Thanks.

I’m not sure if it was asked: 1. Is the epoxy work food safe? 2. Is the Rubio food safe? Thanks for the videos. I truly learn a lot from you guys

Hello, I’ve heard from folks that epoxy fully cured in 30 days. Are you waiting that long before you begin sanding? Manufacturer of epoxy I’m using, MAS, says 24-48 hours but after sanding a sample the epoxy is really scuffed up and I was concerned about losing the high-gloss finish

Great video. I have a couple of river tables that have a full final resin coat which is gloss. However it scratches easily. is there any product that provides a gloss resistant finish. I've used rubio but it has a flat finish. THank you

Hey guys. The table looks amazing. Quick question when using clear Mas Deep Pour. I did an insert on a maple table top. The table top is small, only 18”x 24”. The clear epoxy part is only 2.5” around and 1/2” deep. I’m using the Rubio pre color easy Intense Black to get the wood dark enough before I use Rubio 2C Black oil. My concern is keeping the epoxy super clear. Do I need to sand down the clear epoxy to 4000 or greater? Or am I just over thinking this? Thanks I’m advance.

How did you make and attach your Legs ? I love the Wood Legs

Rubio recommends stopping (at most) 180 grit. Have you experienced any problem going over 200 grit?

Bravo

Awesome video! Very educational for a beginner like me. Can you explain the "Water Popping" step and the reasoning along with the benefits etc. Thanks. I'll try to send a pic of my first actual table I'm doing

I am curious if you have ever stained the wood on an epoxy table? What does it do to the epoxy? I have a table I am at the sanding process that is a light color and want to make the wood darker.

If I’m doing a laser engraving, would I do it before or after the wood cleaner?

hey guys, late to the party but I'm finishing my first live edge slab! yay! ran into a problem though, I've poured epoxy into voids and cracks in the table, and now I have to sand. how do I sand the epoxy back to clear and sand the wood at the same time?! I'm very confused and do t wanna ruin the wood with polishing compound (if that's even a thing) just not sure how to proceed. any thoughts? thanks again!

Somewhat new to making river tables. My latest table is refusing to set up. I know my mixture was correct. Only thing I can think of is my epoxy was stored in my garage and we had a huge heat wave. Prob got upwards of 110 plus temp in shop. Is there anything I can do to harden epoxy

Could you have used a polishing compound AFTER the oiling so that you get a nice shine?

I have a wood slab that has some soft spots in it. I was going to use a min wax wood hardener in them spots. I was going to then sand the top and then apply 2 coats of Rubio on the top. Will the top finish ok with using the wood hardener in the soft spots? Thank you!

Hiya, What sanding pads do you use? are they the wet ones ? can you give me a list of sanding pads needed please ? Also is there an alternative to the akfix 705 for the U.K ? and also the rubio monocoat pure ? These don't seem to be readily available in U.K specifically England , Thank you.

Amazing video - I really like this table!!! What sand paper do you use? The Rubin and Granat from Festool seem to be similar - Have you used both? Which one do you like more?

What about using marine varnish or shellac? The oil looks a bit flat or dull. I'd want high gloss!

Hi Jeff, just got a table CNC'd and there are MANY tiny holes/pock marks in the epoxy ( I have had this happen before with this CNC guy).. do you have a method to address this? lots of CA glue? router sled it? or sand it like hell? Thx. I look forward to your response

Hi! I'm preparing epoxy wood table to be oiled, but it seems like i do it in a wrong way: Its pretty much polished now so boss want me to sand naked wood and avoid all epoxy parts. It's very frustrating as i look at epoxy parts and notice little scratches that i also have to polish and then sabd of wooden parts which probably will bring scratches back

Is the last 220 grid fine enough to get a scratch free oil finished surface?

I would like to see the pour of this table - how you got the gray(silver) & white swirl

I used Rubio but found I can’t get the epoxy clear after applied. While wet, the epoxy is crystal. However when it dries it returns to a cloudy appearance. I’ve ready gloss poly will remove the cloudiness, but I prefer to stay away from gloss. Suggestions?

I saw artist using rubio maintenance oil the very next day to get more shine

Do you ever use C channel to stabilize the table?

If you were making a table for a restaurant. What would you finish it with? I was asked to make 7-32”x48” tables and worried about Rubio holding up to constant cleaning thanks

Do you polish epoxy side or only rubio? I belive it is better to polish then rubio esoecially on transparent epoxy

Badassssss
