The part at the end about getting "/the/ knife" hit home for me.

After watching the joy on your face, I am going to have to get one for my god daughter as well.

As a boy who grew up in somewhat traditional America not long ago... My first knife was a terrible multitool from my grandma. I didn't think much of it at the time. Later, she gave me a nice leatherman. Something I still have today. I didn't wear it for many years, but now I wear it almost every day as a tractor mechanic. It's the single handiest tool I own, and I can't tell you how many times it's saved my butt.

In the Netherlands (and I'm sure other places as well) there's a tradition that you can't give knives as gifts, because they cut the friendship. So whenever you want to give someone a knife, you instead offer them a small amount of currency, could be a nickle or a dime, and then offer them the knife for sale at that exact amount. I'm not sure where this tradition comes from and lots of people even here don't know about it, but I think it's rather fun and observe it whenever I gives knives away. That said, that's a pretty cool looking knife you got there Xyla!

Besides all the cool Sciency stuff and awesome Epoxy puns you have a really good message not only to your viewers but to young girls that never thought that some of the stuff that you do was an option for them. I am a father of four daughters and I’ve often time preach to them that they have all the rights, ability ,and skill to do whatever they want in the world but sadly I’m just their dad but when they watch your channel and see all the fun cool things that you do they are given energy and a spark that I’ve never seen before. So I want to say thank you because I’m a dad for future scientist/inventors/makers/doctors/lawyers over whatever else my girl will end up being in this world and it is people like you that spawned that inspiration.

Hey Xyla! Great video! Just a heads-up, but it looks like you might be routing in the wrong direction. You always want to rout in a counter-clockwise direction if looking at the piece from above, which will mean that you are pushing the router in such a way that the spinning bit will be cutting into the material. If you rout in a clockwise direction (as seen from above) the router bit will act as a sort of 'wheel' and will want to pull the router along and often-times results in less-than-ideal results. Great table by the way!

I'm pretty sure she was climb cutting on purpose. Conventional cutting with epoxy might chip it, with climb cutting the cutter compresses the epoxy as it enters and the cut depth goes to zero at exit to avoid chipout. Yes, you have to be more careful to control the router, but this ain't her first rodeo. 🙂

I watched Tony’s video first. Welcome to the knife for life club! Mine is a Swiss Army knife given to me by my brother at his wedding. Three months after having I live in my pocket constantly it found it’s true purpose. A young man had an extremely bad day compounded by finding out that his favorite grandparent just passed on. I had just happened to be at the right place, at the right time, with the right tool, in pocket. I was jacked up on adrenaline and some how held him up against the wall with one arm whiles fishing around in my pocket for my new knife and cutting him down. That night I called my brother and fell apart for the first time that day letting him know what his knife let me do for a young man in need. 37 years later, scuffed and with a small chip out of the corner of the red plastic near the cross, I still have that knife. Alan (P.s. I lied... the first video I watched was your rocket tree) Happy Holidays, I wish you the very best, and thanks for sharing.

You're seriously just gonna take a $70 cap and make something that looks like it would be $500 dollars? Ok, I see how it is. (Well done!)

I reckon the epoxy alone was worth near 500$. We're looking at a 2000$ designer table all things considered.

Agreed that the epoxy alone is already worth couple hundred haha

I like this video because it would be the tools I would use. I have seen other videos on crating tables but, those guys have resources, tools and space that I would never have. Thank you for your content!!!

Can I just say thankyou so much for showing yourself using gloves and a respirator when dealing with resin and epoxy even when sanding it. I see so many creators not taking the basic safety measures so this is very inspiring!

My knife was given to when I got Eagle Scout, Swiss Army knife, engraved. Never leave home without it. Sadly he passed away shortly after that. Thank you Mr. Roshack RIP.

3rd time watching this now over the year and probably the 10th time re watching the knife moment. Seeing how special and meaningful it was to ye to get given ye first knife hits my soul every time. As a girl myself I know the feeling, hopefully one day I get one gifted to me as well.

Great work Xyla!!! The knife talk was so on the mark. I got my first very large folder from my dad at around 9 years old. Still have it 50 years later. I was told to be very careful with it. 4 months later I almost cut my index finger off at the first knuckle making a bow and arrows with it. LOL. See it's better you got your first much older than a bonehead boy does.
