How about using the rest of that slab to make a waterfall end table so you will have a full living room table set.

[@zorroinhell5549]

The contrast between the top of the table and the legs of the table is brilliant and beautiful. Excellent piece of functional art.

[@Unc_Talks]

Lets see that Jordan collection... Im sure you have an awesome display

[@adrianveidt214]

Using the rest of the slab for a D&D table complete with various table top accessories (e.g. drawers to hold (a) dice, (b) character sheets, and (c) pencils), a surface that has a scored 1 inch x 1 inch square grid (or a hex grid if preferred), and a carved in box for each player to role their dice would be both (1) unique and (2) an object that is of interest to a growing market. Just some food for thought.

It’s a lovely table. I love woodworking. At 70 I finally had the money to buy more tools than clothes. But it’s too late to get really good. My eyesight is poor. My arm strength is weak. Who cares. I watch videos like this .. live vicariously… then go out in the shop an build burnable junk. It’s fun and it makes me happy! To everyone that commented below: THANK YOU ALL so much! You have made me so happy and I feel so encouraged!! I need two barn doors for my (yard ornament) donkey and Miss Cow. I’m going to try a fancy cross hatch top half ( for air flow) out of 1.5 inch cedar strips and a conventional metal bottom but within in a frame of oak. Gentlemen!! Thank you for the hope! February 2024 I got them done. Notes below!!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Barbara. I like your attitude, but don't sell yourself short. I'm sure being 70 vs 40 is very different, but my eyesight is very bad too. My arms are strong enough, but you can always build smaller projects. All that said. as long as you're enjoying yourself and have something to look forward to...it's a win :)

No one gonna talk about how a slab of wood that 90% of people would call “unusable” sold for $1100?

[@alphygaytor1477]

I was wondering about this! Is this considered very cheap for a piece of wood that size? I know it's expensive af to get slabs like this but I'm not a woodworker so I don't have a sense of value for this kinda thing.

[@Jorg05111980]

Please get this reply up, I wanted to post it myself but searched exactly for this first! Can the content creators give any insight on this? Especially once you see they hardly use anything of the slab

There was a little cafe I always used to go to called red velvet and they had resin wood tables, and what made those tables so memorable was how they had little scenes in the resin. One was about a flower swamp with frogs, dried flowers, frog figures all encased in, and the other was a flower meadow with a bunch of cute little bees gathering stuff from dried flowers.

I think that the three legged base was the smartest because it will always sit evenly on most every surface. Three legs will adjust to almost any surface. Whereas, four legs will possibly find one leg does not sit the same on some surface and the table will rock a little. Beautiful result !!

[@KryptLynx]

It is less stable, though. You can flop the table by pressing on edge between legs

[@powerthrashingdeath]

@@KryptLynx how many times have you seen a table that’s rocking, and how many times you flipped a table?

[@drillslinger]

@@KryptLynx That would be an unreasonable problem to worry about. If you are pressing that hard down on the edge of a three-legged table like this one, which is not that wide in the first place to even consider, then you deserve to have the thing tip over and spill everything on it. And a four legged table has the possibility of driving at least me crazy with it wobbling all the time on even a slightly un-level or un-even floor.

[@damianjones9446]

But also it doesn't matter at all on this design bc the 3 legs are connected flat at the bottom and completely disputes what you're trying to say

[@drillslinger]

[@memethief4113]

Amazing table, and I do love how the strip of epoxy is larger, the only downside of this table in my opinion is that nothing was done to the legs, leaving them bare looks out of place, so I would’ve painted or coated them to match the rest of the table

[@syedmehdi7659]

Enjoyed your video. Regarding the decision on the base, (3 vs 4 legs), the three legged version is actually more usable, especially if it is placed on an uneven floor. Four legs requires an even floor or it will rock.

Two words come to mind in this very creative and interesting video: Redeem and Restore.

And for people like me who like to sit on the floor at coffee tables, this also means more leg room 😊

That particular 3 leg design will also require a perfectly flat floor.

[@JamieJamez]

Assuming that all 4 legs are even, and you are on a continuous floor, "Intermediate Function Theorem" proves that a table can be made stable on an uneven floor, by simply rotating the table around its center within 90°. kzbin.info/www/bejne/haapXop4bNJ3bM0 Technical paper on why it works: arxiv.org/pdf/math-ph/0510065v6.pdf

I had a router, a level, a drill, and a pencil. Oh yes, I had my imagination. I made a big mess, made a lot of noise, and ended up with a rather nice, but not perfect, table.

I retired from being a furniture carpenter after a 15 year career in 2016 due to illness, and because my illness impairs the way my muscles work, I wont ever ba able to return to it. While it saddens me to know I can't do this kind of thing myself anymore, I can't help but feel nostalgic about watching you guys in action, and doing a fantastic job of it too. That is a beautiful piece of furniture, very well done. By the way ... At that part when you mention people questioning the use of templates ... I'm right on board with you on that one. Not only does it make manipulating the shape far easier, it also makes it more consistant when you're required to do multiples of the same shape.

[@alexmayer9159]

Having done a lot of resin work (though not for a table - yet), here are a few little tips: Because deep pour resin has such a long working time, it pays to sit the ready mixed bucket of resin in a bath of hot water for at least 5, preferably 10 minutes - make sure none of the water gets inside the bucket though! This gets rid of most of the bubbles and makes the end result much nicer and means less work with the blow torch. Also careful with the blow torch, if you hover over any bit of resin too long, it can burn it! As for the mold itself, if you caulk the sides, scrape it off again after, so you're left with a straight surface for your piece, but the caulk (or wax is even better) will be in the very crack you need it in. Silikone spray is the best mold release you'll find!

[@Coconut-ng5dh]

Really cool video and loved how the table turned out! One thing I've learned if you're using an epoxy resin finish is that you don't necessarily have to get rid of those rotted sections. If you tape off one side of the rotted material and pre-pour some resin around the area, it absorbs very well into the more pithy material and will harden it, perhaps to a greater degree than the rest of the piece depending on the type of wood. The coloration might not exactly match in the finished product, but sometimes that's a good thing!

If you ever encounter punky wood again in a project, you don't have to chisel -- Abatron makes a specialized epoxy that penetrates and hardens up rotten cellulose. Works like a charm (it has been used to preserve structural logs in a historic log cabin).

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Appreciate that...I'll check that out. We actually tested this out a bit on some off cuts and the same epoxy we used made the punky wood usable from a functional perspective. But it doesn't look very good. So I'd probably remove it again. Ben Uyeda recomended to try sand blasting, finding a balance that is harsh enough to remove the bad wood, but leave the good wood. Sounds kinda fun, so I'd like to try it :)

Here’s a fun short story. This was when I was in my senior year of high school in my advance woods class and it was around the last week until finals and graduation. And I was making a little side table we made in intro to woods just for something to do. And I grabbed the domino even though I didn’t need it because my mind wasn’t currently on. So when I realized I didn’t need it I went to put it in the storage and the cord got caught of the table corner and It slipped right out of my hands in front of the teacher. And this teacher is almost everyone’s favorite teacher if they had his class but he is known to yell at kids for being stupid and it’s pretty funny. But my heart just stopped and my mind finally returned and all he said in a calm voice was “that cost $1000 dollars” and all I said was “yup” and walked away to put it back. And thankfully it was fine and I didn’t owe anyone $1000

90 bucks for good furniture?! this channel is SOO UNDERRATED!!!

Im not a big fan of epoxy resin tables. After watching the amount of work put in to this piece I have had a change of heart. The finished piece including the stand was impressive. Congrats on a job well done!

[@semadoesstuff]

this is such good quality content!!! also your voice is really calming :) I don't know anything about woodworking, just how to cut something with a saw, but still, i found this very fun to watch, and i was actually able to understand (almost) everything! so great job explaining!!!

[@matthewwright57]

My first thought is about the volume of surface of the leg on the floor. This requires the floor to be pretty flat or the table will tend to rock. Would it be better to have the majority of the lower stretcher a little off the floor and have fixed 'feet' so that it has 3 points of contact and becomes a lot more stable?

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Our floor is very not flat, and so far it's been pretty good. That said, you're totally right, but that's a pretty easy fix with some small silicone/felt pads.

[@JohnathonWhittaker]

Outstanding video and project, the sheer amount of work you all have put into filming and editing this made it a pleasure to watch.

[@Saratonnin]

You have the most beautiful soothing voice to listen to as a voiceover. I have muted videos before because of the sound of the voice over, but your voice is like butter. Also loved watching this table build. I love the 3 legged base design. The maple contrasts so nicely with the color of the epoxy

[@ethan4661]

Well, this is the first time a woodworking video has made me tear up haha Amazing work man, you’re an inspiration ❤

[@MyUnquenchableThirst]

I think this table looks really great. The epoxy part and wood part are in a very good balance

[@beny7160]

The three piece leg was absolutely the play. The table almost floats on air. This build was more sublime than usual, gents. Thank you.

[@sansomrandi15]

I could seriously listen to you talk all day. Very soothing & incredible work!! You popped up on my feed(due to my recent woodworking hyper fixation) and definitely an immediate subscriber!!

[@nicstroud]

The guy at the woodshop tells you that the piece of wood is unusable and then charges you $1,100 for it. Cheers Big John.

[@GeekyEily]

I swear I've never been so into a woodworking channel before. I loved everything about this. That table is beautiful! I totally subscribed btw. keep up the good work!

[@BaronessJames]

I love that table! And I absolutely love that you went with the 3 instead of 4 legs version, it makes the table look more special. I would have chosen a darker color for the legs but to each their own. I was wondering is it possible to do a ta le with Amber colored epoxy which in a way would macht the wood color? This would be incredibly interesting to me.

Thank you for sharing this journey. As a daughter of a carpenter who is into DIY herself, I struggle with the lack of space in my big city apartment and wish I had the means to afford and house more than just a few power hand tools. This was so pleasant and satisfying to watch. I am trying to find a way to add small sliding doors to a vintage cabinet and found one of your instructional videos. I liked your style so much that I carried onto this one. I'm subscribed! My wife (yes, I'm very stereotypical, ahha) is going to now be subjected to watching your woodworking videos with me this weekend. Keep doing what you're doing! Thanks!! :)

[@alexflohr1453]

Great work guys! The bridge for the three legs was awesome. I’m wondering if it actually turned out easier with the bridge rather than the 120 miters. I’m terrified of trying to get three (actually six) 120 joints to fit perfectly, and the bridge seems like a much more approachable solution. How did it actually go? Thanks guys!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Alex. Hard to say since I didn't make the other version this time. But I suspect you are right. If it were only 1 joint (the 3 120º joints) it might be an even split. But with 6 it definitely increases the challenge...since now length is a crucial dimension as well. The bridge joint was pretty easy. Slightly time consuming to create. But probably saved time on the back end by sanding being faster (no sharp angle interior corners to try to sand clean).

[@JasonPeltier]

That was my thought also. The interface on the bridge would be much easier to sand flush, vs trying to get 6 perfect angled cuts to line up and meet in the middle.

[@obscurity3027]

“I keep trying to convince my wife [that 7 inches is a lot]” really got a laugh out of me.

[@timothymallon]

Just a thought, but there are a few different types of wood stabilizers out there that you can spray on, pour on, paint on etc that could have rescued the spongy/corky wood you were dealing with. It wouldn't have been a perfect option, but it would have restored some rigidity to the piece, soaking into the fibers.

[@john-paulsilke893]

I wondered this too, but how is it going to react to epoxy? How about time? A test piece needs to be made and set aside for 8-10 years to really know. For the time, effort and cost of these bespoke items I’d probably spend $400 worth of time and another $200 in materials. That way you made a $3,000-$20,000 table instead of a $1,500 piece of art you hang on a wall. You can always display a beautiful failure, I’ve actually converted a table made out of an old wooden elevator door into a beautiful wall feature. When the “table” started to come to pieces the furniture maker had another door he took apart and rebuilt into an excellent table top. He threw his failure into the deal for a bit under $3,000 including shipping. I reinforced it with a sheet of MDF and a walnut picture frame and also reinforced his wall and hung it for him. (The artist did all the work to build the table top and it started to come to pieces because the original glue and peg work reacted poorly to his stains, oils and/or lacquer. Before he packed it up it started loosening up and was no longer suitable as a table. (Still looked beautiful though).

[@timothymallon]

@@john-paulsilke893 Thats a really good point

[@baronmeduse]

Spongy/corky wood? It had woodworm!

[@rudimm]

One could have thinned the epoxy and vacuum bagged it in. West System (Wood Epoxy Saturation Technique) for instance.

[@koichilee2310]

Good job boys, I’m currently working at a wood shop and the process is the best part for me. That’s what makes it addicting, and I enjoy going to work everyday making something new.

[@nicknimocks1792]

You guys just made my day... this is so far the best furniture making process I have ever encountered in KZbin. Keep it up boys... U da Man....

[@Joe___R]

Since you are making an epoxy table you didn't need to take out the termite damaged wood. You could have stabilized it with epoxy and kept the original look of the slab. How about you use the rest of that slab & make a waterfall side table to go with the coffee table you just made.

[@helenosbourne6782]

Grandma here watching for entertainment. You have the ability to see what can be and the skill to sculpt that beauty to life.

Having watched a lot of guitar building, I feel like the finishing is truly my favourite. The tops are often so beautiful and the colors really pop up, they are so vibrant.

[@debrabutlerlynch2259]

Table is stunning. The coffee table of my mid-century modern minimalist dreams. I can imagine a large orange tabby sprawled across it on Christmas morning. Also, sausage is usually better than pepperoni. Thanks for sharing!

[@menniah84]

I don't know how I came here but I'm glad I did!! but I think it was the satisfaction of work being done to perfection that intrigued me. The table came out beautiful.

[@NabeelNagash]

The table's beauty and exquisite craftsmanship are truly remarkable, commanding attention and admiration. Yet, it is the script's metaphorical eloquence and the profound resonance of its conclusion .

[@gianpietroprevitali7103]

Absolutely beautiful. Your and your helpers' talent is astounding. It's great to see people who know what they're doing, are willing to challenge themselves when they're not-to-sure, and truly enjoy their endeavors. God has blessed you.

[@locomokko]

This was really great. Thanks for doing this video. I "got into wood working" without realizing it. I bought an old, unmaintained house in Japan in 2018, and one of the first things I did was cut down a large cedar tree that had been struck by lightning and threatened the house. But in cutting it down I really felt "I want to keep this, and see if there is something I can do with it". I cut the trunk into two pieces each about 1.8m long. Two years later, I discovered "River table" while watching some video (don't remember who's it was, but I know it wasn't this site, or a couple others that I follow). And I thought! Bingo! I want to make my bar top out of those two pieces of wood. Fast forward a few years later, and I've been collecting and storing large (1,500+kg) trees and after watching another KZbinr who had a horizontal bandsaw I thought... AH HA! (Because being in Japan the one thing I had not been able to find was a way to reliably cut my trees into slabs). I know this is a long winded comment, but the reason for it is I have also come to the realization that, as I'm still renovating the house, ALL of the furniture that will go into it will be made by me. I never thought I'd be a "furniture maker", only a "DIY house builder". But this is saw absorbing. And I love every aspect of it. I'm almost fully tooled up and ready to go. Just need to find a little bit of time to get my bandsaw put together (got it 2 weeks ago), and then we're off. I know I will be coming back to this channel over and over as I look at making different objects for the house. Really can't wait. Scott from Japan

[@mikehowie8148]

Thank you a fantastic video. Just retired, built my workshop and about to buy a small domino jig. Actually your comments helped me decide! Thank you. Ps I ran a media company before retiring and love your style of delivery - hot chocolate in front of a roaring fire 👍

[@Jimjams23]

Just found your site, as I am looking to get into woodwork. I have watched a lot of youtube videos, and I can honestly say, I think yours is the best one. You explain everything really clearly and give some useful tips. The only thing I get confused over is the use of inches, as I work in mm (I live in the UK), but that's minor. I think I am now going to binge-watch all your other videos 😆

[@wivyy]

I took a woodworking class in my senior year of high school and while my orojects from that class were- average and I never done anything of the sort I still find myself fascinated by the craft and watch videos about it I’ll have to get in touch with my teacher and show him these some day
