I usually don't comment on videos but this is one of the most well designed and cohesive pieces I've seen on the channel!! Slightly elevating the shuffle board in the form (to give it a floating look) and adding some under lighting would be next level. Well done!

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you so much! 😁

Awesome table!!

[@danwilson17]

I'm a subscriber and woodworker and lover of table shuffleboard and most things you guys do. As I watched you sand through 4000 grit I couldn't help but wonder what happens when you start sliding metal pucks all over this surface, even with sand and/or wax on top.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Like any shuffleboard it’ll get some scratches overtime. We supply our client with some extra ceramic coating so they can maintain and repair small scratches.

[@johncotton866]

[@user-wg7dx7er8w]

Hi BFW Co, I like, Great Looking 👀 project, nice to see you using finger joint to glue your boards up, give them more strength, gluing area, I started using these methods back in the late 80s, early 90s, and they do a larger finger joint version for doing end grain, and 45 degree mitre joint with a finger joint set into it,

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you! And yes, finger joints are the key!

[@danielpfeiffle7187]

This piece is just stunning to look at

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@bschumann77]

Beautiful, always wanted to try building one of those. Great work as always.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you!! You should give it a go!

[@JR-ho5qm]

I feel like the epoxy is going to crack around those brass in lays during the expansion and contraction as the metal moves differently than the wood. Hopefully it doesn’t

[@truthh8322]

Instead of brass use a gold colored resin in those grooves.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

It shouldn’t! This is our second piece we’ve done like this and had no issues in the first one. The first piece is nearly 4 years old now.

[@dougk5456]

That is beautiful!!! I really like the appearance of the pigment in the resin and it goes well with the dark wood!! I would never be able to play on that table for fear of scratching the finish. I would just have to look at it fore a few years then maybe....just maybe!!!

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Haha I’d feel the same way. Thank you!

[@4legdfishman]

BEAUTIFUL! Nice work as usual! I'd almost hate to play on that surface! 😅 thanks for sharing your amazing talents! By the way, I did not hear what length you made the playing surface. 9', 12' or 14' ?

[@johnnyho900]

The table seems short to me, is Canadian shuffleboard shorter than American?

[@4legdfishman]

​@johnnyho900 I do believe it depends on where it's going to fit. Since a regulation playing surface is 22 feet, which is huge! Most private game room purchases are most likely going into a room that's not fit for regulation sized tables. Nor is it necessary.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

This is a 9’ piece! Thank you 😊

[@DelightfulBaseball-ij6yx]

It's very beautiful job well done

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you!

[@sccolbert]

The reason your other one warped was because you had a difference in moisture permeability between the top and bottom layer. That allowed more moisture into the bottom, resulting in more expansion and an upward bow. You will see the same thing with engineered wood floors that dont have a "balance layer" on the bottom. That said, Epoxy is still hygroscopic (it will absorb moisture from the air), it's just less-so than wood. The key is balancing both side of the slab to have roughly the same permeability.

[@ChyeallaMcBride]

If I walked into a bar and this was the shuffleboard table, that would immediately become my new watering hole.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Agreed!

Absolutely Beautiful! I'm wondering if you made a fitted protective cover for when it's not in use? To protect it from spilled drinks and other possible damage, from stacking on top of it.

Another beautiful piece, they must really love playing that game 👍 I was quite surprised at the final finish on the resin, yes it looks fantastic, but the light should have been giving a perfect reflection after all those stages of polishing ... it almost looks like fine orange peel 🤔

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

We were kind of in a rush to get this one shipped out. The final videos were taken after the final high gloss spray but before our polishing. You’re definitely seeing some orange peel in the video. We took it all out before we shipped it!

Hi Guys, Happy Easter 🐣, Have a great weekend,

[@davemac6118]

How does it play versus a traditional wood surface? Does the surface scratch from the corn and the discs?

[@hEsty00]

That looks amazing. Shouldnt a shuffleboard be warped towards the middle (i.e. lower in the center, compared to the outside edges?)

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

The piece does concave ever so slightly to the middle. We used shims underneath to create uneven pressure when mounting the playing surface down.

[@hEsty00]

@@BlackForestWoodCo I was wondering how one would manage to do that. Thank you for the explanation.

[@ScottRedstone]

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thanks Eric!

[@ciscomontano]

I was wondering why you didn't put any padding at the end. Or felt on the sides. So when the pucks(?) slide off, they don't damage the beautiful wood. Just curious. Beautiful work btw.

[@jumpingjacks5558]

Black Forest Wood Co. does it again. I really like how it turned out. The blue really compliments the brown of the table without being to pushy, Great job again. Your videos never disappoint. Do you build this type of table using a special template your company created or the top of the designers head? Say hi for Charlie.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

nice work:) but why is there a lot of orange peel on the surface?

[@robertm348]

Is this standard shuffleboard length? It looks drastically shorter. Beautiful job!

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

It’s 9’, standard for a small home sized table!

[@gerbdj1570]

Hmmm youre glueing the brass strips in across the grain, how does that not cause major warping? Pls explain Also in all your videos i notice how you guys move tour orbital sanders extremely fast In my opinion that would cause major swirl marks, generally it is recommended to move at 1" per second, how do you avoid swirl marks at your speed?

[@averagegatsby]

What is the difference between a thickness sander and a planer?

[@YeeWins]

Just out of curiosity, does the surface ever need to be re-polished or surfaced? My thought process is that you're playing with sand usually. And with it being sand, the surface might get a ton of micro-scratches. Am I correct in this thinking?

[@KeRaySh]

As someone who has no idea about woodworking, can someone ELI5 why you have to go through so many grits in order when sanding something? What's the difference if you just use the highest grit directly?

[@debbiepoole2247]

I love the swirls in the blue. The copper pieces really set it off. 1 question: Why are the corner brass pieces in 2, not 1 L shaped piece?

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Mostly just becuase of our tooling available. If we did one piece we would’ve likely had to use a metal CNC whereas with this option we cut everything on our conventional machinery.

[@debbiepoole2247]

Thank you for the explanation.

[@jonnyb89821]

It looks amazing but I worry about it scratching when playing with it!?

[@danwilson17]

I love me some table shuffleboard. When I watched them sanding this through 4000 grit my brain was shouting "they're going to dump sand/wax on this and then slide metal pucks all over it!"

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

It’s unfortunately bound to happen if they plan on using the piece. It’s no different than the amount of scratches on any other shuffle board, just more painful to see happen 😂

[@jonnyb89821]

Yeah but I imagine after a couple of years or so of use you could just buff it out in an hour or two since the scratches should not be very deep!

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

@@jonnyb89821 Yes definitely! Using ceramic on it will also help to fill in some of the scratches that aren't deep
