I am a beginner to woodwork, the main test I have with this bundle kzfaq.infoUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt is that I think that its hard to settle on a choice of the plan and outline to use as there are a large portion of them there. Nonetheless, I like the simple stride to step directions laid out there.

Just for future reference, you should use polycarbonate instead of acrylic. acrylic is brittle, and polycarb is much more flexible. That's why we use it for signs, and it's much more weather resistant. May the Schwartz be with you!

For future reference, don't use CA on fiber optics because it etches the plastic and makes it brittle at the joint. I build models all the time with fiber optic filaments, and I always use epoxy to secure them, because it doesn't harm the plastic.

The force is strong in this coffee table. That was awesome build. From star wars fan and collector to another. I want one

‘The force is strong’ with this one. One “improvement” I could see is to have the fibre optics and the LEDs for the sides on separate switches, as I feel that in a darkened room it would be nice to watch the twinkling stars without the bright sides. Awesome build though and definitely a keeper.

As a Star Wars fan myself, there is one thing I would have done to round out the look on top. I noticed at the ends of the River top that there is some white light from the sides showing. I would have put something there to black that out. Otherwise, that looks great and I would LOVE one of those in my own home.

Can’t believe I never seen this video!!! Kate has a acting future !! Table looks epic too

I'm currently doing my own fiber optic project. I tested CA, Gel CA, Epoxy, E6000, and Elmers. By far the best at holding the fiber optics in place was the 5 min epoxy.

the force is strong with you, Jonny.....

The Force is Strong with this build. Really curious about how the painted steel will hold up under “normal” use. Lovin the Empire vibe!

The Force is Strong!!! As are your building skills!!!! That was fantastic!!!! Had my birthday recently and my daughter got me a card with "I knew just what to get you for your birthday, I felt your presents" on it.

"The Force is Strong!" And Im not even much of a star wars fan. But this was cool! It would be better if that strip of light from the outside was hidden and if the 2 lights were seperate switches. Again SUPER impressed with this original build from you! 👏👏👏

This table is so cool!! LOVE all the detailing and effects you created!

I'm curious how much this thing ended up weighing? It is gorgeous! Love the use of your CNC and vector-making skills as a nice touch. Beautiful work!

Instead of laying up a whole graph, you can shoot a photo perpendicular and centered from about 15 feet away to minimize lens distortion and then just pull it into your CAD software and trace it as a vector path. Or if you have Lightburn ($60) and calibrate a camera to it, you can pull the image directly into the software and autotrace it.

The fact that you used Parsecs as a measurement of time was fabulous. That table is AMAZING and those jokes were the epitome Dad/Nerd Hilarity. Totally subscribed. Can't wait to see more.

The force is strong! Love this build.

I like how, instead of turning to face your wife when talking to her, you just stare straight ahead

In Vectric you may be able to import photo (bitmap) of the river contours, then trace right in aspire. Then could skip the sketch up 1 inch square graphing step!

What is the internal temperature of a tuantuan? ..... Luke warm... Love the build man!

That is super cool! I love think up projects that use some sort of lights,such as lamps. Here is a good one take a leftover glass or acrylic and etch whatever pattern you like into it. Then take piece of wood or a box of some sort large enough so you the glass on edge on top. Cut a slot just big enough for the glass. On the bottom of the wood route out a space for your light source ( under the slot ) and deep enough to open up a space under the edge of your etched pattern( a friend etched a rose onto a scrap piece of 1/2 glass from a broken table top ) use what ever color light you like. I think you will like the outcome, get your wife or daughter to do the etching. I know of three ways to etch 1) is an acid solution, 2)sandblasting, and 3) using an engraver or vibrating pencil.HAVE FUN AND KEEP UP THE GREAT VIDEOS.

The force is strong. Not sure if this helps (especially for future projects) the fiber optic lights look more realistic (stars) when you change up the angles of the holes. The star field headliners created use technique. The bow ties r really cool too.

😂😂😂 - Beautiful craftsmanship…. GREAT Star Wars jokes! Any thoughts on doing a Star Trek themed table? Something with fiber optics, working buttons, and so forth? The force is strong with this one…

I respect this because your wifes patience....my ol lady really dislikes my antics....but at least they are healthy & she really lets me express myself. not many out there like that...shes a keeper.

big fan of your work . . . HUGE fan of this build. Love the mix of woodworking and Scifi on this. Great stuff man!

Wow that is so cool, my Star Wars geek is screaming “I need one of these”. Great job

Verti down spots is a good idea for beginners less heat less chance for blowing holes, I can appreciate this

I didn't think I'd like it at all. It turned out so cool!!! Sweet idea for the bowties! You put a lot of time & work with the things you make. Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all

Sealing your wood pieces with a thin brushed on layer of clear epoxy before pouring your dark epoxy into the inlays can prevent the staining you saw. Saving you the headache you saw. Just a small trick I learned from another epoxy wood pourer.

The force is indeed strong with you! I think you missed an opportunity to drop this video on May the 4th, but besides this, it's an amazing piece of work and impressive craftsmanship. I love RGB lighting and woodworking but I've never done anything with fiber optics so I might have to plan a project to incorporate those sometime!

The attention to detail is amazing. As an older millennial, the Star Wars puns gave me life.

too friken cool buddy! and welcome to your newest man on the job.....welcome! can wait to see what the man can do. AWESOME

You said you will put in fiber optics link on Amazon, but there is no link :D

The wife and I laughed and I so wanna do one of these for my Sons. They are HUGE Star Wars fans,

Great build - incredibly creative. Diggin' The Jonny and Jeff show! Looking forward to seeing what a good helper will allow you to do. Keep 'em coming, JB.

The force is strong with this one. Dream life you're living there. Congratulations to the new apprentice, lucky maker Jedi in training. Thanks for sharing all the details of your awesome builds. Hope to have a shop like yours one day. Green with envy.

I'm really glad to see you use the CNC for custom projects. There are plenty of videos of people loading sheets of plywood all day to make mass quantities of parts. Thats not something I'm interested in, so I was doubtful about getting a CNC. Now I see how I could use it, thanks. I also like that you incorporated metal into the piece. That is something I want to do on a regular basis, if prices ever normalize!

0:08 Massively underrated hound in background

I didn't see any Grievous problems while designing this. I'm not a huge Star Wars fan but dang, that's awesome. The intricacy is amazing. Good job man.

I’m a young woman living in New Mexico, just me and my chihuahua. Hopefully not forever but at this time of my life I’m just dirt poor. Often that means buying things that I want isn’t a real option. When it comes to things like furniture I appreciate home-made and I prefer anything I have made over store bought anyway. Currently I’m itrying to acquire more wood so I can start a project soon. I’m taking the wood from trash furniture that I come across and from diving dumpsters around town and post neighborhood home remodeling trash. Hopefully I’ll be able to build a bed that I will like.😄 Ya, I need one because right now I have my queen mattress sitting on just an old metal bed frame I found that was likely made for a single size mattress . Video like yours help so much because I can follow the techniques and learn to build cool things by myself. I thank you so much for the self esteem I am beginning to build by being able to learn these things. Other people have family, like a dad or a big brother to help them with such things, I don’t have that, but I do have some help from you and other kind people on KZfaq. I just wanted to thank you.

The force is strong!! Loved this, as a fellow Star Wars geek, furniture doesn’t get much better than this!! The one thing extra I would’ve done is used the CNC to add some detail channels to the X-Wing and TIE Fighter the same way you did with the Falcon bow tie, but otherwise that is PERFECTION!! : )

when you pull it apart next put some open cell foam in the gaps to block out the light that distracts from the epoxy part, hard white line of light is bright enough to out shine the tiny fiber optics

"R2-Detour". 🤦 Cue: WOOKIEE HOWL Did you know there's a place called Wookey Hole in Cheddar Gorge in Somerset here in England? 😜

Nice table. Thanks for posting the video and showing us how you did it.

This table is the new imperial super weapon known as the shin destroyer. looks amazing though. great work!

The Force is Strong! "Bow TIE-fighter" 👏😆

Really cool build, felt like a shame to cover up the bottom piece after the work of "painting" it. If you ever do another build of this, I'd love to see that bottom layer dropped down to the floor, then multiple other "sheets" of clear epoxy with swirls and specks every 4-6 inches or so. Final effect would make it so looking down into the "river" would feel like looking into a deep void with distant twinkling stars.

I think it is beautiful! I love the lighting.

That smoke in the back for that final showcase lol🤣 looks amazing, great work🤘

cant wait to see what you and jeff can come up with..

THE FORCE IS STRONG! Great job Jonny

Jonny, you are just amazing!! So creative and just for the CNC, you have all my respect! I have been trying for weeks with mine and drive me nuts! Learning curve I guess 🤣 keep amazing us!!

I'm wondering if it would have looked cooler with the spiral put with clear epoxy with the first layer

The force is strong and may it continue stronger into your creative future. Awesome mix of imagination, wood working, new tech, old tech, materials and editing skills. Keep up the great work!

Nice project. My only comment would be that on the ends of the river you can still see the white plastic. I would have preferred that black. Otherwise a great build. Thx 😊

*internal screaming of PARSECS ARE A UNIT OF DISTANCE*

That thing is awesome! My oldest was always my Skywalker. He would love it.

This is so pretty. Honestly if you aren't really into star wars its not super in your face. its a gorgeous bridge between a standard coffee table and it being too much.

That is the cleanest workshop I have ever seen

The white outer light diffusors are lurking into the center window with the stars. Not sure - but i might have added some little cover to the ends of the center windows so that its not blending into at all. Maybe some alternate design idea (Star Wars?) is an option here.

You’re very talented. I couldn’t live with that cord running across the floor.

A parsec is a unit of distance, not time. When Han said he did the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs, he meant that he found a shortcut. VERY cool build!!!

Love The Stars Wars Theme For The Table!

Looks really cool I personally think I would like it more as a glossy finish for the epoxy but it looks really cool either way nice work

This will date me but I saw the Original Star Wars the first week it was on the big screen when I was a kid. I never got that feeling out of my mind. This coffee table is really cool!

Such a cool table and I loved the jokes throughout the video. Beautiful work as always! The force is strong!!

Never been a Starwars fan but this coffee table is amazing!

I thought ...little TIE fighters for the bowties... he makes that and much more. The force is strong with this one.

'The Force is Strong' and out of this world coffee table.

You could have added a space battle in all of that empty space in the glass. maybe with legos? could be neat to have tie fighters and x wings duking it out

Great build, great video; however, now you have a power cord coming out from your coffee table, which in most cases becomes a trip hazard. I really the box tie designs and the fiber lights. I'm a big Star Wars fan as well, I'm building a full functional life size R2D2 Driod in my woodshed and I'm learning a great deal as I go along the way. Thanks for making the video and making the beginning funny with the wife. She a good sport!

"... on my CNC, Jabba the Cut" you got me there mate ;D

my only thing to say on it is that i wish you put those carved details into the xwing and tie fighter bowties to fill with the white as well

The way you did the lights in the table gave me (smaller scaled) ideas for a future project!

very good turnout. i didnt know you can cut out the fibers and it still works. thnx

Came for the build. Stayed for the Star Wars dad jokes, for the force is strong with you.

I'm new to the channel so I don't know if it's a play on people thinking a parsec is a unit of time rather than length, but for anyone that doesn't already know, a parsec is actually 3.26 light-years or 19.2 trillion miles.

I have had the same thing happen to me with the planer. That is why I'm considering adding a drum sander for things like this. I really dislike bowties just because they are used so much and look the same. Creating Star Wars bowties was genius. Overall a very nice project.

The Force Is Strong. Great build!

This turned out absolutely AMAZING! The entire video was so much fun to watch! Great job Friend!

Just watched your video what an awesome table. I build Star Wars models and I have found that the best way to glue up fiber optics is with UV glue. The hot glue melt fit in the CA glue makes it brittle what causes the light to not travel through the fiber optics quite as well. I've been wanting to build a Millennium Falcon coffee table for sometime. Now I just had to find this video and it's making me want to start it.

The jokes are soooo bad! 🤣 Couldn't stop laughing. Great project!

a small model x wing being chased by a couple of tie fighters would look cool in the middle of the table , could also mimic lazer fire .great table build .

Videos like this need more than a like button. Great work restoring balance to the force!

Good build. Have to echo some of the others here. Acrylic is destined to get really scratched up and some of the LED battery powered products out there are pretty solid and you can eliminate the cord. For the cost of the table. Spend a little more and pour epoxy. Otherwise very slick stuff. More dad jokes please!

Great weekend build, quick, cheap, dirty bolds like yours are great to build confidence for serious projects

This is what I'm talking about. Awesome creativity and the skills to back it up. Good work

The force is strong with this table.

I woulda covered the entire table with that plexi glass or poured level with the wood so you don’t have those 2 lips in the middle for cups or whatever to catch on. Great looking either way 👍🏻

Glow paint and uv led would pop so well for space

Awesome build...You need to add some die cast models into the middle space as if they are flying though the gap...

This is so overbuilt, you put an over-built plywood frame inside a 1/4” welded sheet metal frame…and then kept adding more, I’m glad you’re pleased with it. So much money…so much weight.

The force is strong in you. Nice job!

Great finished product! Instead of doing all that measuring to transfer to sketch-up, could you just take a picture and line up the corners of the square? Could be a big time saver

The force is strong with this one! That is a beautiful table.

That table with a highly detailed Death Star trench battle scene in it instead of the galaxy scene would be awesome!

the force is strong and led me to a nice chanel today ! i look forward to see your others videos !

As a fellow starwars fan of yours who also grew up on starwas from England, I would like to say this is one of the best and beautiful things I have seen on KZfaq lol I am so jealous about your lego star destroyer I want one so bad but can't afford it 😭😭😅

My favorite quote is from Thumb Wars: Use the instrument panel, Luke. That's what it's there for. Advanced weaponry designed to hit tiny targets.

Is there a visible difference in drilling holes for fiber optics at 90 degrees from the wood to like.. 45 degrees in different directions? I feel like it would look pretty interesting if it does. Like alternating directions. Idk if that makes sense.
