Sorry about the long wait between videos everyone! Spring sale link: n3nano.com/pages/spring-sale

[@sinbincreations]

Well worth the wait 👌

[@kazzxtrismus]

if you would like an old secret about cracks.....use a vacuum cleaner and tape on the bottom side. the vacuum will suck the resin/glue/water/stain deeper into the wood.... the tape is to direct the vacuum.... tape the backside around the vacuum hose opening and as if youre sealing the hose but add extra so it doesnt suck air from "around the corner" or 2" away.... think 6"x6" of tape with a 2" vacuum hose in the middle...youll suck air through the wood... now tape around the crack so air will go through the crack but not the tape...... and fill the crack with epoxy/glue or whatever like normal the vacuum works in all directions so itll work 90 degrees off / around the corner too...just use tape ror whatever to direct the flow of air...its kinda like ducts in a computer...except not free flowing... but...it does work and work well.... i use it for epoxy embedding anchors and strengthening the wood around the anchors... thin liquids move a lot further through the wood and can be directed a bit.... took a lot of playing to make it a science but only a little fiddling will show it should work well for you..... best part it only takes a couple seconds to set up...some woods that epoxy will move fast and far as the wood acts more like a sponge than youd ever believe (vacuum is a strange powerful thing)

[@kazzxtrismus]

possible problems:...it can work too good..... usually you can turn the vac on for just a few seconds to get epoxy to the bottom of a crack. a few seconds more to make sure it gets inside the wood a bit.... a few seconds more and its fully impregnated the wood all the way through effecting color a few seconds more and the wood is now and forever a hardened fiberglass sponge (my goal). hard dense woods are still sponges...and very spongy/absorbent..... a 7hp vacuum table will suck hard enough to hold 12" of mdf down like its clamped..... 7hp is enough/needed to hold all 4ft x 8ft x24 sheets of 1/2"...... a shop vac is tons for a crack or plug...sometimes too much if my adhd kicks in

genuine shout out to scott and people like scott. It can be SUPER hard to tell a craftsman they did a bad/poor job on something but it really helps everyone learn at the end of the day.

[@christopherconlon4360]

That part where Scott said to redo the peg was staged. You could tell because he purposely made that peg smaller so he could drill it out. I’m thinking a-lot of the back and forth with Scott is staged for comedic effect.

[@volty3454]

​@@christopherconlon4360 prolly just repeating off canera discussion so we know what's going on

[@BlacktailStudio]

There was more to that hole actually. It was filled early with wood, then epoxy from the back side leaked down and stained around the edge. You can see how it’s black around the outside. And I assure you I didn’t think that far ahead for the videos sake 👍🏼

But my favorite part of watching you, is your integrity with your customers. I can see why they’re so happy with what you do. Not only are you skilled and do an amazingly beautiful work, but how you do it, the skill you put into it, and how you think of them first, I really find admirable. I have subscribed to your station, obviously. And look forward to watching more of what you accomplish.

He built me a beautiful keepsake box, side table, speaker box, folding chair, and we’ve been searching out wood online for future projects. Thanks for sharing your passion!🥰

[@perchristianaaslund6385]

Watching people who are excellent at their craft is so satisfying. I applaud you, Sir.

[@DanielMargheim]

The touch of adding the waterfall end table at no cost is a wonderful way to do business. The customers had already accepted your mistake and were so excited about the new pieces, so to go the extra mile and add another piece speaks volumes about your character. Brought a smile to my face almost as big as the smile on your customers!

[@monicaangelini3324]

And what an amazing piece that side table

[@TheMusicalKnokcers]

Tbh that is bad business to be too kind to the client and so honest, but thankfully he has a youtube audience to show this. I could never work with sale for this very reason.

[@ozzyakiro4734]

​@@TheMusicalKnokcers bad take

[@taylormeder8208]

Sometimes giving away the table isnt for the customers. Its for your own conscience. Its a way of forgiving yourself.

[@jeffrygagnon5506]

If this occupation wasn't so totally draining and absorbing, it would be work. And when all is said and done, the customers SMILE (assuming they've had lots of updates) is why woodworking artist-craftsmen do what we do. When you "fix" an unanticipated challenge on a piece of wood, you didn't fix an "error". It was an unanticipated challenge. Keeps your mind inventive.

[@anonmelclean]

Your videographer is on point, between the epoxy jug emptying tip, helping decide to redo the plug and the reminder on the items that go into the crate, he's the real MVP 👍

I'm in metalworking and I apply the same rule to my work. Every time you know better about something but ignore it, you're gambling on shortcuts and your own expectations don't have authority. As the professional, you should look closer than the customer, that how you make sure he never spots something inadequate, or worse, thinking it's not great enough but just silently looking for somebody else to work with.

Absolutely beautiful combination of tables and the side table you threw in with the coasters was just perfect. I hope they realise how lucky they were . I love your work , you are also a great narrator.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@BeefaloBart]

Nothing beats having great customers. And they look like a beautiful couple and hope they enjoy the tables.

Dining table. This has to be one of my favorite videos you've made in recent memory if ever, it had everything: client interaction, constructive criticism from you own in-house quality control aka Scott, of course beautiful meticulous woodworking, bloopers, and just some really funny moments. Honestly I really enjoy the tongue-in-cheek witty and sometimes self-deprecating comedic one liners you pepper in there it makes the process so much more enjoyable to watch!

Console table is amazeballs. Have never watched a woodworking video as I don't woodwork, but damn, didn't know how much went into it. Thank you.

[@InAnAspect]

It is legitimately impossible to decide which table I like better. Each one has something about it that causes it to stand out. Fantastic work.

[@diggoran]

18:14 Here's a tip for these tough decisions: Cut the opposite end first, leaving as much material on as possible, so you can see in advance if going to the absolute limit on the end you want to trim off would be acceptable. If not, walk it inward, always trimming a bit off the least acceptable end each time. You don't want to cut deep on one end just to find out that the opposite end is problematic afterward. Stop walking it once you are happy with both ends or you've hit the limit of what you can remove, because now you've found the ideal balance.

great advice

[@rickroll9086]

Exactly. This is the way to know what you’re dealing with.

[@theoriginaloutlaw]

I think what he’s trying to say is you can always cut a little more off, but he can’t add to.

Can you give me advice how to get a girlfriend?

@@JohnWayne7777 you could try the same advice. Chop your wood off, a little at a time.

You know what I like about you sir, is that you never make excuses for your mistakes. This is what makes people trust you. It shows you being an honest up front guy. 👍

Your little sneak clip of the jointer catching the fingers literally sent a insane shock through my body. I have had a few of accidents on my hands before so it was an automatic reflex.

I actually liked the most that small table 35:30 that you added as a gift. The fact that it is mostly made with black epoxy (looks like it) just feels nice. It's not wood that is the main part of the build, it's black epoxy. Wood there is just like filling what's missing. Epoxy and wood switched their rolls of who is filling up who.

Fixing a $30,000 mistake video, was amazing! Liked how you explained the details that is very crucial and also the way you fixed it to make it right! Awesome!

[@blackraen]

Love what Scott's work has done for your cinematography game. Content was always nice, but you really just cannot beat a good dedicated editor. Looks good (tables and video).

[@KimunyaMugo]

That dining table is to die for! Thank you for sharing your craft. You'll not believe this, but I usually watch your work to relax and sharpen my creativity beyond woodworking.

[@daworld88]

The console table was gorgeous. I turn wood, and when i get the grain to pop, it's amazingly beautiful. Wood always has surprises, which is why i love working with theis material. Great job.

[@johnolwenperkins3579]

Great closing line, "Got the coasters?" Great video, loved all 4 tables Keep up the great work and the sense of humour

[@hutch2142]

It can't even go in the garbage can had me dying 😆 You were correct to have redone that one plug, looked way better afterwards.

[@user-ht3sq9sl7e]

The consult table is my favorite, and the fact that you gave them the end table was wonderful. I’m a novice at all this, but I love watching these videos. Thank you very much.

Love the dining table the best. I could spend a lifetime studying the beautiful wood grain patterns. Thanks for sharing your skill with us.

[@scottmisso7670]

The console table is amazing, love the "floating" wood in the epoxy effect. Would be interesting to see a table with that as a focus of the design.

[@playgroundchooser]

Consult table is my favorite. I'm really more amazed at the fact that the clients were all good with waiting and such. They were richly rewarded for their patience.

[@ZippedUpKitz]

The plugs you did, Scott was soooo right about having you redo that second one! The first one was almost completely invisible. The second one was bright as the sun compared to the natural wood it went in! When you redid it, I couldn’t even see either one of them compared to the natural dot that was there! Awesome job !!!! I love watching this channel… I don’t know HOW I missed this redemption video!

[@CCPHAnimalHospital]

All are simply stunning. But my favorite is the third one. I love the figuring involved.

[@user-mo5sb1wd9h]

I love that 3ed table that. That first table was also pretty cool with the lead bullet! Way to do the right thing and give the customer exactly what they deserve even if it meant starting over all the way! Love your videos hoping to start doing some of my own work after a brain surgery in a month.

[@elliotbrittain2064]

I like seeing the team work between you two. You can feel the seriousness of creating amazing art by professionals, and yet you don't take yourself as serious 👍🏻. Great style 😎

[@SmithHiggins-ph2dn]

Hello Julie

[@nealyoder3393]

The end table looked fantastic. But the dining table can not be described easily. The color , contrast and flow of the wood grain is absolutely breathtaking. Hope to achieve this level of workmanship one day. Love your videos. Peace

[@theofungi6562]

The waterfall table is absolutely my favourite. Thank you for your video. Rivetting.
