That's the thing with Epoxy and other finishes - you get stressed when you rough up between coats, or do some sanding that looks a little uneven. When the liquid hits, it just goes away. I had issues with some clear epoxy on 2 knot holes and I had to drill into them, rough up a little bit, vacuum it out and refill. Came out perfectly clear, amazing.

It's basically content outside my algorithm and it was one of the videos where you do free repairs for your community. I went to your channel and saw all of your other videos and you were very open and positive about your making process. My best friend gets very anxious when she has to think about things and shes told me your videos in particular are a big help and shes looking into woodworking/ ,maker spaces now. keep being gr8 and forgive my poor grammar, english is my first language but i dont care that much :)

next time you can drill a hole to the corner of the leg and the table and put there wooden pegs. This should lower the wobble at the corners so the table will feel more sturdy. Just an idea when watching at 13:46
