This table arrived well packaged and on time. kzfaq.infoUgkxn94T8Mu1iMnsLCMNOI9srXSsLkI4JXKW Like another reviewer advised, I pulled everything out and made sure everything was included (everything was!). I built it alone and it took me about an hour. The color is great and for the price the lift part works well. As others have mentioned, it’s not the smoothest opening/closing, but it works. The screws do show, but I plan to order white sticker covers if that bothers us too much. Really happy with this table! UPDATE: it’s been over a year since we got this coffee table and we still love it! It gets HEAVY use as our dining table, foot rest, and school desk. Over time, the opening and closing mechanism has gotten smoother. I added a new photo with the white screw cover stickers. They blend in perfectly and make it look a little cleaner. 100% recommend!!!

Wow, you need congratulating on such a wonderful project, presented in such an excellent way. What a lovely change to listen to an expert without a load of unnecessary waffle. The video was to the point, accurate and extremely well delivered - well done! I loved the little trick of multiplying mm x m x m in order to automatically convert the volume measurement of cubic metres into a fluid measurement of litres - very neat! No wonder you’ve currently sold out of the product (as of August 18). Well done! 👍

I found building a router plane was essential. They pour epoxy and don't tell you that they wait as many as 3 days for it to dry. They don't tell you about how you can stir it for patterns in the epoxy or when to stir. They don't tell you how much it costs. I am thinking of starting a KZfaq channel just to address all this stuff.

If you're going to cut the whole surface off with a router at the end, probably don't need to worry about any dust settling on top at the resin curing stage. :)

@easycompositestv 6 жыл бұрын

This is true but there's always an outside chance that dust or dirt could sink down into the resin (below the surface that you're going to sand off) so it doesn't hurt to keep things tidy. Also, not everyone will route the surface flat, if you were leaving the whole table with a resin surface (and so you'd poured more resin over the whole surface) then you would probably be able to get away with just polishing the surface, in which case dust or dirt would be more of a problem.

Smh KZfaq get a life and quit stalking me. Pls😂

it‘s because your smartphone is listening to you. try it. have a mock conversation with yourself about how much you would like to have let‘s say... baby toys. that you are definitely in the market for ‘baby toys‘. soon enough you‘ll see a lot of baby toys ads and your recommended feed will be full of baby toy reviews and such. same with texts emails phone calls, phisically lurking in specializeds shops (location services) and so on. AI connects the customer and the bussiness in the most efficient way. i noticed this like 5 years ago when i was looking for a job. soon enough igot hired. at a wood workshop and that's why i'm here now. working with wood has grown on me. so in a way AI formed me withits suggestions. makes you think how deep this goes...

@big_sheever9619 6 жыл бұрын

lucydais x it looks like it hasen’tbeen cut straight, has a slight curve. I would make sure it’s cut straight and possibly use a thinner glue, you can see that there was glue in the middle of the mitre. There are super strong timber glues that are thin that can make seamless mitres. I use them at work for my timber joins. Lots of tape and some glue. Close the mitre up tight and tape and clamp it. After sanding should look 100% seamless.

1 liter does not = 1 Kg unless you are using a liquid with the same specific density of water

@easycompositestv 6 жыл бұрын

You're blowing my mind! ;o) ...It's plenty close enough for the purposes of estimating, which is all we're doing in that calculation.

@MrTuffarts 6 жыл бұрын

You should check on it, I think with a liquid as thick as the resin is the difference would be a fair bit

@easycompositestv 6 жыл бұрын

Trust me, we've got this! The difference isn't much; the relative density of GlassCast 50 is between 1.07 and 1.1 meaning that at most it's 10% different in density to water. Although generally there is correlation, viscosity (thickness) is not directly related to density. Also, GlassCast is actually pretty low viscosity, especially compared with more conventional epoxies.
