Basically, you bought a premade robodesk frame and recycled some wood to make the surface. So, how much value does the woodburning add? If I hate vain crap, and if I make one of these desks, will it lose like $1000 in value because I didn't draw cubes on it?

Watched a dude get paid 20 times what I did, cuz he brought a sponge and some different colored paints. Took 40 smoke breaks, and told me that I wasn't living up to my full potential. I was on my hands and knees nailing in quarter-round, sweating my ass off in July with caulk all over my hands, trying not to get it all over the floor. Seems like the more you do, the less you get paid.

Man, thank you so much for the running time & total invested as well as the free 3D printed jig on your website. Things I loved: 1. No extra hem-hawing information to scrub through. Clean and to the point. 2. You fast-track things at the right time. (We don’t need to see a real time break down of all pallets. You show it so we know how you did it without wasting our time) 3. Props to a guy who recognizes the support of his parents. 4. From how you found them to how you shipped (and the selling process included!) that’s what I usually wonder about. After most people’s videos, I think, “Yeah but how long did it actually take them to sell this thing?” In short. This was perfectly executed. You are great at this. And after this one video, I’m definitely going to subscribe and tell my friends. Keep it up!

The entire cost breakdown and conversion (2 currencies) was amazing. Great work. Great video. Awesome information for people that would like to do this. When you breakdown all the tools and equipment required, the skills, and the vision of what it takes to do this, you really should've made much, much more. The problem is finding the buyer, of course. Maybe they would've been more interested if they didn't know the humble beginning of the material. Should've said it was a 2,000 year old tree from japan!?! Hell, idk, but it looks GREAT. Love the 3 dimensional look! Great work! Texas, USA.

its good he broke down the specifics and he made very good hourly wage for doing something he loved.. the epoxy river table cost mainly comes from the slabs of wood they're made out of... depending on the species and size of it, they can easily cost upwards of 10,000 just for the wood itself.. then you add in the materials/time like this video did... that's why those types of tables costs so much.. and no offense to the creator, his table is very modern and chic.. but it's lifeless and inorganic, which is fine if that's not what you're looking for, but that's exactly what those river epoxy rivers table give

Not exactly free when you have to consider all the expensive ass tools it takes to do this. Not like just anyone can get some free pallets and make this shit. Then sell it for a grand. Especially since people will buy it just because it was on a youtube channel. So unless you have a workshop and a few 100,000 subscribers. This isn't something you can do.

I made a 16' x 20" work bench for my old man's shop. 2 1/2" strips glued together on edge and after making 10" wide pieces planned down to 2". When it was done epoxied them and it looked fantastic. Also did 9 shelves 4'x 16". Used about 150 skids lol

First there was Bobby Duke Arts, then came Blacktail Studio then Black Opal Direct. Now after Bill C-11 I’ve finally gotten a recommendation for a Canadian creator that’s just as entertaining as these other three. Looks like it’s a good time to be a Canadian🇨🇦KZfaqr!🤷🏽‍♀️ Glad to find someone creating great content in the GTeh!
