Sawyer! Cam, I'm new to woodworking. Can you explain why the higher moisture makes this piece "unusable as a table"? I get that the table top won't be perfectly flat but is it really that extreme? Thanks in advance.
@BlacktailStudio2 жыл бұрын
That’s a great question and the effects can vary a lot. This piece with small pockets of moisture will probably get pockets of cell collapse where there will be small depressions, which could even crack over time. Larger areas of wet wood would likely lead to cupping/twisting as well as cracks. All of that said, this piece would likely be flat enough for many people and function fine as a table. Any reputable woodworker wouldn’t be satisfied with a table like this though. I could potentially wait this piece out, or kiln dry it, resurface it, and have a perfect table. That might not work though, and would be a big time commitment from me. So instead I’m cutting my losses and using it as a wall piece instead. Hope this helps!

@@BlacktailStudio I'm not a woodworker, so I'm just spit balling here. What if you take it back to the CNC and mill off 1\8th inch to open the grain up, and then put it in a kiln on a very low setting for a long period? Maybe you can cook off that moisture, depending on how deep epoxy penetrates into end grain.
@HappilyHomicidalHooligan2 жыл бұрын
In addition to Cam's response, any project using Epoxy Resin should be as dry as possible since Resin HATES moisture/water with a truly Unholy Passion... If your wood is too damp, the Resin will not Cure properly and will likely crack as it cures...
@HappilyHomicidalHooligan2 жыл бұрын
@@somethingelse4424 You would need to do that before adding the Resin as the Resin will penetrate much deeper than that and with how thoroughly Cam sealed this wood, kiln drying won't do much since there's nowhere for the moisture to escape from without blowing out a portion of the resin... Epoxy Resin is a plastic once it hardens and finishes curing...

Dry ice blasting will actually cause moisture pockets in wood like that. Used to do restoration work and we used it to blast framing after a fire to take all the Charing off of the burnt wood. And we used moisture detectors to check moisture in the house as well after the fire department does their thing and we would have to dry everything out first. Then ice blast it and dry it again. Mostly with industrial dehumidifiers and fans but we still had to dry it after the ice blasting. It may not have sand clean up but you're blasting ice into porous material and in some spots when it's would like that it will blast it into areas that it cannot evaporate fast so it's soaks into the wood. So honestly that might be where your moisture came from.

They will wobble and cut crooked every time! We made a bar top top same way, in the 1980's! We put old poker cards, chips, glasses, etc. Under the clear epoxy! It's still in use today. Maybe a new project for you? Thanks again!

Last night my husband asked to borrow my tools because he didn't want to go down to the truck to get his. He couldn't make everything fit back into the box (While asking "Where did you get all this stuff?"), so he went and bought me a bigger toolbox today. Maybe I'll use the little box for tackle. If I fill it really full might get a really nice tackle box!

As an outsider, I think I've got a pretty objective view of the whole circumcision debate in the US, and, I have to say, it's amazing to me that the people who fanatically insist on cutting off parts of their children for no reason are able to paint the people who are against that as the fanatics It's so strange

Sorry if anybody asked this already, but have you thought of using a sous-vide to keep the bottles of epoxy at the temp you want them to be? It would allow you to keep that variable constant, and it would allow you a wide time window to use them by keeping the temp constant for as long as you want. There's at least on commercial one out that that can be set as low as 75F and has a 5 gallon bath. Just a thought. Love your content, btw.

What is interesting about your channel is that you are able to tell the story of the infinite detail work that goes into even the most mundane of processes in woodworking. A cynic would say that you barely even do woodworking. But even working on a beautiful top like this is so laborious and you manage to show that in your videos. Great build, don't be hard on yourself.

I love the wall piece! It’s beautiful. I also think as someone who loves to decorate peoples homes and living spaces this type of art work is really hard to find. Especially with newer homes that have 20 feet walls trying to fill that space is really hard with out it looking messy or busy you need large artwork. My decorating style is organic, natural, clean, old antiques used in new ways. My favorite pieces are those that have character, and come with a great story to tell then is given a new life, that celebrates all its beautiful faults, which adds character. Celebrates its uniqueness, one of a kind, and beautifully made.

Sawyer. Cam, I love how you are willing to take a risk with somewhat exotic slabs. At one time I used to build cradles using 18th and 19th century tools and experimented with a whole variety of woods as you do. I never had the success rate you do but enjoyed the hell out of it.

Dark I see that this video is from 2022, so you’ve probably already found a product you like for your new spray gun, but I wanted to suggest Mohawk’s Pre-catalyzed conversion varnish. I use that in conjunction with their sealer and get excellent results. It dries quickly and only needs 220 grit paper between coats. Great video and good luck.

At least you got to choose whether or not to cut your wood up or keep the natural edge. Many of us never got to choose, and instead someone else forced their wood cutting decisions on us, so we were left with wood already cut up. When you want to have the natural finish on your wood, and you only get one piece of wood, that's hard to deal with. You can never get that natural wood back once it's cut. Everyone should be allowed to make their own decisions about their own wood.. It just makes sense.

I know a few blokes who were left with a live edge and then late in life, due to painful and recurring difficulties had to adopt a cut edge. It is a lot more complicated and painful to deal with once you make your own decision about it. Personally I value not having to remember the process (and looking at the actual research, can't disagree with it). I certainly haven't ever considered cleaning with pellets of dry ice!
