@@jeffmackdesigns I sure will. I only live about an hour west of you, so you make them locally and I buy then locally! I have been an amatur woodturner for years, and you have inspired me to make my first table. At least now I'll know how I'll be attaching the legs lol

Great video. Where do you order your inserts and screws? What depth (%) of wood thickness do you seat them?

@jeffmackdesigns Ай бұрын

We order them wholesale, and have them available on our site. For installing them we drill just over their length and add smaller clearance holes for the bolts. They end up seated flush to the surface or just below a 1/16th!

Hi Jeff, Looking for those mounting plates. Can you tell me where Ai can find them? Would like to use them for a bar top with 26 inch X 2-1/2” thick slab legs. Thanks, Steve

Can inserts be used in an all epoxy desk top that doesn't contain any wood? I would like to get a clear epoxy desk top and put it on one of those motorized sit/stand legs. Is this possible or is there a better way to attach into epoxy?

@jeffmackdesigns 10 күн бұрын

They can be used, but you will see the drill marks and the inserts depending on how much pigment is used, in your case none. It would probably be an eye sore!

Thanks for this informative video. I was wondering for method 3, can you please recommend the legs you used? I am finding it difficult to get metal legs online with the slotted holes that you suggest. A link to the metal legs you purchased will be very helpful!

Just a couple more questions about method 3. Did you use epoxy for the threaded inserts there as well? Also, would have a recommendation for the distance from the edge for placing the metal legs?

Please specify the exact type/size of router bit you use for the universal plate solution. I would like to order it ASAP but need to make sure I have the right bit. Is it just a generic "template bit"?

@jeffmackdesigns 7 ай бұрын

You could get away with any template oriented bit. We recommend Amana 45460-s or 45475-s. You could also consider 45475. jeffmacksupply.com/collections/router-bits

Will the large table mounting plate be available?

@jeffmackdesigns Жыл бұрын

The large mounting plates were custom plates that we had made. The idea with the smaller universal plates is that they can be used on some larger projects as well when strategically placed. If the smaller universal plates do well and customers like them, then we may create a larger universal mounting plate for those big table projects

There's a photo of a log this size cut in ways like this and enclosed in a huge, clear acrylic box, that is a hotel front desk. Did you guys do it? I don't if it was laser cut. I can't find it.

Hi, could you please advise why you do not recommend use of screws?

@jeffmackdesigns 5 ай бұрын

They get the job done, but from a furniture builders standpoint they aren't reliable or professional. We prefer to use hardware that looks clean, polished and sturdy such as rampa inserts.

For the table at 1:30 in the video is there a reason you didn’t want to use the universal mounting plates method? What was different about those legs / base that made you guys build it with a custom plate instead?

Does the epoxy portion of the table expand and contract at the same rate as the wood portion? I've never used inserts, are they stainless, or just carbon steel? Do you need to make any adjustments for placement of your table legs?

@jeffmackdesigns Жыл бұрын

The epoxy doesn’t expand and contract. The threaded inserts are steel. I’m not sure what you mean with your last question.

@pamelabraman7217 Жыл бұрын

Sorry, was wondering if you had to adjust placement if the fastener would be on the joint of the epoxy and wood?

@jeffmackdesigns Жыл бұрын

@@pamelabraman7217 if the fastener falls on the joint of the epoxy and wood, we normally skip that hole since the mounting plates have additional holes. Or we will off set the table leg slightly to avoid the seam where epoxy meets wood.

Found you! Question about threaded inserts into wood vs into epoxy. Is there any difference in how or what you do if one insert is in wood and the other is into the epoxy on the river table?

@jeffmackdesigns 5 ай бұрын

Hey, thanks for the question! We like to add a drop of epoxy/ca glue (akfix 705) to the threads of the insert when installing in to epoxy. However we much prefer, and recommend, using them in wood.
