What an epic ending! I think if it were your table, I'd vote for the spider base. But for your parents, it has to be the base that your mom used to love that you then chopped up for your own purposes to provide a gift to your mother of something that was already hers. 😂😂 But man alive, did that turn out looking GREAT! Well done!

I think we'll all benefit from a supportive community without gatekeeping! I think you made a great looking table even though it's not my personal taste. I don't feel the need to trash talk it because I wouldn't want it in my living room, I'm happy that people enjoy different things as long as they have something that brings them joy.

Love seeing you and Matt work together. It turned out stunning. Both bases are awesome but I think my vote would go to the reconditioned one if it going to be used as a dining table. Less banging of the knees. 😉

Great video, even better ending!! As a maker, not a woodworker, I'm kinda tired of anyone emphasizing how a real (fill-in-the-blank) creator would do something. Personally, I'm just delighted if anyone is creating anything. The act of creation, however it's done, is what I respect.

@chrisbrannan3784 11 ай бұрын

I think the spyder base looks really cool and if you were doing this for a commisioned / production work absolutely the way to go. However, considering the circumstances you made the right call. Finding a way to give your parents a new table, sharing your skills while still incorporating a piece of their history will make it even more special and memorable down the line.

When epoxy is as expensive as it is there's a case to be made for filling the voids partially with other materials and leaving the epoxy for a thinner visible portion only. Obviously this only applies for more opaque epoxy color choices, transparent or semi-transparent colors may benefit from being an all epoxy pour for aesthetic reasons.

I think the pecan with the deep black accents looks really nice, and both bases look great under it. I'm an old, so if I had to choose, I'd probably go with the upcycled base, mainly because it just looks more traditional. Happy Father's Day!

Thanks for this video! I have been wondering what the anti-river table crowd truly had issues with. The “maker” in us I think is what brings us together, and I was so glad to see you reusing the old base (woodworking). To me (none domino owner) I always feel that the domino is cheating at woodworking, but then I just suffered through making two bedside tables with 36 mortise and tenon joints each. Maybe I’m just jealous; after all I had no problem using my jointer and plainer instead of Han plains. Respect for the Makers!

@jasonwebb3848 2 ай бұрын

I agree, and even John has a hard time getting past digs at the epoxy crowd many times in this video. Epoxy is just another medium to mix with wood. Do those who grouse about it or even question if it is woodworking say the same about those who use manufactured metal legs like he proposed in this same video? It is another non-wood substance that in this case is actually replacing the wood entirely whereas the epoxy is united with the wood in the project. Your point about the domino is just as valid, planers too. We can all come at these things from a certain perspective. And I will admit, I sometimes have a hard time with the CNC crowd, but I also know how much time and effort goes into programming and setting it up, so I cannot say it isn't "making" just because a machine did it. Again, I have a power machine for making wood flat, a hand plane is a more primitive machine for making wood flat. A CNC is an even more powerful tool than I have that can . . . make wood flat and more. I would love to hear an actual argument (critical points backed with evidence, not mere ranting) from those who claim that river tables aren't woodworking.

@Theexplorographer Жыл бұрын

To save on epoxy, use wood instead. Pour a 1/4"-1/2" epoxy base and let it harden. Then fill your remaining space with scrap woods. Pour another 1/2" and let that harden. Then do your final fill pour. You can save a TON of epoxy this way. Obviously this only works if you are using opaque colors.
