Fixing the $30,000 Mistake

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.

​@@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 👍🏼

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!

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.

[@richwallace4632]

As far as updating the customer. I use to build houses. I gave them a weekly progress report every Friday. At first I thought it was a pain, but then realized I was setting expectations, and was able to answer concerns before they became a 911 problem. I loved all of the pieces, but I have to say, the water fall end table was my favorite. great video.

So first of all, the dining table, the hall table and the desk are pretty much what I have come to expect from your work, so, while I am impressed with your work, imagination, attention to detail, and refusal to settle for anything but a work of beauty, I'm not all that surprised. Looks just as beautiful as everything else I have seen on this channel. The end table? That is a different story. I'm always in awe when you come up with something just a little different. your "warped" end table and now this. Just a thing of beauty.

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.

My husband and I watched the entire video and loved it!! Your work is amazing!! It was genuinely worth it til the end and a great bonding moment for us too!! Thank you!!

[@Philbah]

I've watched so many of your videos but this one has got to be my favourite. Love hearing about the mistakes, the humour is fantastic and Scott's editing and presence is *chef kiss*.

[@elrey8876]

I used to have a small creative business, and one of the worst overheads was damage in the mail, even when I used heaps of protective packaging. I guess you just insure the living heck out of this when it heads off to Europe. Also, I bought a bicycle in France and I'm in Australia - and the shipping companies wanted $2,500+ for shipping. What in the heck is this going to cost to ship at that weight!? It could be more than the cost of the tables.

I know zip about woodworking and have no intention of making anything but your skill is mesmerizing and I keep coming back to your channel to watch you create amazing art. Your humor is the best and makes me appreciate that you don't take yourself too seriously. Your 'Fan of the Week' makes me appreciate that you don't take your critics too seriously either. You do amazing work, thanks for sharing it with us!

[@whaleryder64]

He makes me want to learn the craft ❤

[@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).

[@MyMrTip]

Hi! I’ve watched about 10 of your videos, but this was the first one I came across, and I’m absolutely blown away by your approach, your passion for your work, and your care for your clients. I think this is the best piece of wood you’ve worked on, probably because it’s the most challenging one, but that’s just my opinion. And yeah, I’ve rewatched this video two or three times, and every time I get those amazing feelings. You know, I’m not a professional in this field, but it’s the best thing I’ve seen on KZbin. Man, you’re the best, and I hope your passion and inspiration stay with you for many years to come!

[@jefferyhunter1665]

ALL three pieces of furniture turned out great. Your customers were great. Integrity and true craftsmanship were on display. Well done.

[@romankotowski]

Table 3. This was the most entertaining video you've ever put out. The look of actual terror on your face when that sander took off! keeping your mistakes in these videos are what make them so good! Scott should make a compilation video of all your biggest mistakes.

[@CharlieOkeson]

I love all four tables, but the greater color variations in the dining table are breathtaking. Kudos to Scott for his candor. ✌️

[@danmclean3384]

As the saying goes brother - good things come to those who wait. Again...I commend your professionalism in making sure your customers are totally satisfied in the end. The extra end table you offered was a very nice touch indeed! Cheers!!

[@deanclarke706]

I really enjoy the answers you provide to the folks who feel they have to offer an opinion on everything you do (as if the cost agreed upon is any of their business). Great job and look fwd to seeing future projects coming out of the shop.

[@selanz9060]

The little waterfall table was a lovely surprise - 27:26 was my fave moment 😂 such impressive workmanship

[@chipchip69]

Be careful. There are scammers on here pretending to be the owner of this channel!! DO NOT SEND ANYONE ANY MONEY!!

Really I can't choose my favorite. Like, dining table is giving master piece, main attraction of the dining room, but desk is giving powerful mind, and console is on the delicate and chic addition, it's so amazing what you did

[@anngrimm6599]

I love the console tabletop, and the dining table base. But it’s the update schedule I want to speak to: my youngest daughter is an iconographer, and for her most recent work, she promised me daily photographic updates. If she missed a day for any reason, I was so sad. Those photos gave me such a strong sense of participation in her creative process. I’m sure your customers feel the same. You allow them to be part of creating their home’s atmosphere.

[@kinskifilms]

I am late to the party, but I just want to say that redoing that last plug was so worth it. The previous one was way too tan. The new plug was perfect; same hue, same little tiny dots that followed the grain. It really is true; nobody really likes redoing things, but sometimes a redo, even a small one, can make all the difference. Also, really liking the Scott cameos.

[@donaldekstrand8713]

The dining table is absolutely gorgeous. The end table is also amazing. Oh, heck, to be honest all of the pieces are gorgeous.❤

[@belindaneumann4318]

The end table is beautiful. All of your work is gorgeous. Your place is amazing, entertaining, and I enjoy watching your masterpieces. You are so upbeat. Thank you.

[@dawndippery9277]

I LOVED the desk! The "gap" between the 2 pieces of would gives it a very strong look. Almost powerful!

[@stickwicki7730]

Absolutely loved the subversion starting at 27:16, these are the best moments of your videos (besides, ya know, the gorgeous woodworking that you do)

[@danelyn.1374]

I JUST SAW THIS I absolutely knew there'd be a comment, what a perfect moment lmao

[@jackhammer4690]

99.9% I dont comment. But this was perfect.

[@titaniadioxide6133]

I literally cackled, because I was looking and thinking “eeeeehhhhh that may be worth redoing again, it’s still pretty visible” only for him to clap back perfectly

[@natelamont]

Incredible package. Way to solve the issue and benefit the customer, your suppliers, your channel and the community. On another note, I laughed my ass off at the belt sander running away when you plugged it in. Last time I did this, it took a dive off the end of a client’s dock and into the lake. Fortunately, simple machine and dried out fine. Works great to this day. Nice work sir!

[@kornkid4032]

Console table is, imo, the nicest. It looks like it has some of those grays, the grain going diagonally is really interesting & it has a little more of the epoxy goin’ on. Fantastic work as usual!

[@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.

[@sahilvig115]

They are all amazing tables! "Comical Cam" and "Sidekick Scott" you guys make an awesome team, great job!

[@julieannepatterson3295]

@27:25 luv it. i can see your talent and humor ..and how you care.

[@SmithHiggins-ph2dn]

Hello Julie

[@celiajohnson2441]

Just found your channel, I don't know anything about wood or woodworking. But I love the natural grain and the way you do it seems to be done with so much love... Thank you.

[@DBZluvz]

i'm not a builder or work with wood but i came upon your channel not too long ago and i was captivated by the process of how you build. i would never be able to afford one of your pieces but they are impressive to see made and your finished products are pure magic. i think it's part the process, part the tools and building and part you that makes your videos fun to watch to someone like me that doesn't work with wood. good content and a unique personality helps keep people coming back for more. thanks for all the awesome content.
