TIP - When creating the mold, first make the two sides (in a 90 degree), lay down the wooden piece up agains the corner of the mold, and THEN create the two other sides of the mold. You will get a perfect fit everytime.

[@jamesjames_07]

That won’t work if you’re attaching the edges to the side of the form. Only to the face. Which they didn’t do. Also means you need access to the underneath of the form. Which won’t work for many unless you use pocket screws

What I love in this piece is the base. Especially how these two opposite sides and corners are able to hole the top. It's kind of mind bending. I have a bunch of elm slabs drying at the moment, and when they are ready, I have to try this! Cheers. Scott from Japan

[@loukayser]

Regarding removing the melamine: I would have either (1) used the CNC to do a facing pass to cut off all the melamine (assuming the CNC bed is large enough) or (2) set up one of those slab flattening router jigs to do the same thing. Great video!

[@shaunb66]

Both good ideas! We definitely considered CNC, though our machine is a bit smaller than this table, unfortunately.

[@brentjenkinsdesigns]

I 100% agree. Without a cnc the only viable options are a router sled or handheld power planer, which is what yall did. Btw i love both tables equally. When I come upto an issue like epoxy or not, I try to remember that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and therefore doing the absolute best job possible for the paying client. Even as a test piece, its still viable & profitable in what lessons you learn from it.

I really like the base design. Don't get me wrong the top is gorgeous, but I love the illusion you get standing over the edge and it looks like one leg.

Myself, I think you came out better with the two instead of the one big one. Variety is the spice of life, as the old saying goes.

[@txhogdoggn]

I did the same thing, not enough mold release and i used my slab flattening jig to rmv the melamine. instead of mold release now, I'm using a poly sheet cut smaller than the mold, then tyvek/packing tape to hold the poly down, and i zero issues taking the mold off. if also tape the sides of the mold, which has allows me to reuse the mold for very similar sized projects.

you could try some kind of wax (carnuba or beeswax for example) as a mold release next time, it works really well for wood/porous surfaces. just melt it down with a heatgun and brush it thoroughly over all the surfaces of your mold. great video as always btw, always a treat to watch you guys design and execute these projects

[@kelvinnance8371]

Making is an act of creation. There are endless paths to travel, but remember that what you think of as mistakes are actually learning experiences, and an idea in search of a need. All visual artists have less known works, along with their masterpieces. Be ready for your next project, but never reject the previous totally. I actually enjoyed this video, and, wait for it... love the rectangular table. The only problem is that it would have no place in our current setting. And, I would be willing to 'bet' that others may love it just as much.

Beautiful table! I love the combination of epoxy and wood. The color choices of mica’s and dyes are almost unlimited. There’s also additives like diamond dust or color shifting mica’s, that I’ve never seen anyone use in furniture pieces. Different pouring techniques.. like dirty pours and marbling that haven’t been tried yet either. There’s quite a few design elements that I’d love to see tried. But, I understand too that slabs are expensive so, maybe try out something new on a cutting board first.

@@shaunb66 You’re welcome. If you’d like to experiment on say a river table. You could do a thin layer of black on the bottom and come in an inch on either end using thin plexiglass and silicone as a dam. That way if you’re not happy with the results you can just pour black over it.

The dining table is a beautiful work! The epoxy complements the table, making a beautiful contrast to each slab. It is the right amount of epoxy - the wood stands out, the brighter wood stands out better, and the stand complements the table. Not the other way around. Great work 😀 As the removal of the melamine gös, a plainer is always best. If the slab is to wide, try to find a company that can help. If not - well, you guys did what you had to do 😩

[@aimedsolutions463]

Wow Great job buddy. For the mold release problems, my suggestion is to use canned spray paint that is readily available in the market. Actually, the paint will stick to epoxy and leave the mold or panel quickly. And to remove or clean the paint from epoxy should be less hard than the panel. Try this and tell me if you find it good. Your videos give me some sort of drive to make some woodworking for my home or factory.

[@xdeexquisitex]

I have no idea about making furnitures nor did I know I was interested in watching how it is made. Somehow the video wherre you guys made the round coffee table was recommended to me and I watched it full and now this is the third video on this channel that I'm watching. I wouldn't have commented but I realised something when I was watching this video, I didn't want pause or skip any parts of any videos so far I've watched and I watched the whole videos in one sitting without any interruption. Didn't know I was this interested in watching two guys make things out of wooden slabs

Sorry for the double comment but just got to the end. Doing that oak base in black was a super nice touch. I love black bases but am so tired of simple metal black table legs. Having the base be black but having grain clearly visible is 🔥🔥🔥

I had the melamine issue on a coffee table (forgot the mold release) and used my old xcarve. I had to rotote at and do each end separate but it worked out well. After that I use the same method to flatten tables that aren't too wide to fit in the CNC.

[@rickgomezphotography]

You guys make beautiful and creative pieces. At first I thought the epoxy looked terrible but I think the black base saved the table and ended up making the epoxy look pretty good.

No need to listen to all of us writing in.

[@demypeace]

the best for me is leaving the natural spikes of the wood and THEN filling it with clear epoxy/transparent colored epoxy. the natural shapes gives a more wild side to the polished look.

[@Oonagh72]

I thought the legs were just going to be the black stripe in the middle. I liked that look. It mimicked the top. However the final piece is beautiful. It feels old and new at the same time. Loved. Is what it looks like! My thoughts on getting the melamine off. My first is to see if you can find a an air pocket. Run a heat gun around the side and use a flat head screwdriver to see if you can find a place that “pops”. If you do see see if you can force some warm air in there to make it expand. Then it may pop loose. Even if the whole thing doesn’t pop it is less to sand off. The second idea is to make grid cuts all over the piece, then use a flat blade to saw them off. This way you don’t have to grind down. You are taking square chunks, leaving a very thin layer to sand. Finally, before demolding run a heat gun around the mold to see if it makes the mold expand allowing the piece to loosen. Please realize these ideas come from removing false fingernails.

[@clairep.ronalds897]

Alright so, I do like epoxy tables, and slab tables, but the highlight for me in this design is that BASE!!!!! What a gorgeous design. I'm a sucker for art deco (and modern interpretations of traditional art deco) and I just love the angles in that. The slab top is a nice cherry on top for me, but really I think that design would be amazing in brass with marble, brass with wood, wood with marble... basically anything. It's great! Beautiful work :)

[@greggv8]

TR-104 HI-Temp Mold Release wax is what will work. Apply it, let dry, buff off. Repeat three times. Then spray on a coat of PVA release film. That stuff is water soluble so if it gives you any trouble it can be soaked with water to release it.

[@johnsutcliffe3209]

The best thing about your content is that you always reference back to design, which I think is what you two's superpower is.

I’d suggest using a planning jig with a router that you can use both for flattening the top and also get rid of the melamine that is stuck to the table with more ease as you can go very deep since melamine would come off easy.

Take the slab to a shop that has a wide thickness sander / planer. An industrial sander or planer will zip that melamine of in a couple of passes. Check out some of the vids of carbon fibre or fibreglass panels. They generally don't rely on spray on mold release. at least two coats of brush on release agent, perpendicular. Throttle stop garage has some good vids on mold making.

[@Hmmm3116]

I think what people found more refreshing about the epoxy free table is that it didn't use some garish glittery goop that not only distracts from the wood but also looks pretty tacky. I have no problem with these black epoxy pours, I feel like they highlight the wood well while improving the strength of the table and allowing for more creative wood placement/patterns

[@raphaelgawn2542]

[@carolday3381]

Beautiful piece. I was a little disappointed in the base legs though, at first I thought the black between was going to be a pin striping affect with the rest of the legs being finishes like the table top. But that’s a me thing, if I was ordering a piece I would make the different change. I wanted to add through observing other channels that some do the red tape all over the boards then screw together then caulk the seems. That way you can unscrew the mould, pull everything off and the mould pieces are reusable. Saves money. I think also mould release on the red tape too but yeah big difference. I would think on a huge piece you could also staple 5 mill Vapor barrier on the wood boards then instead of red tape as red tape is pricey. I believe a test of Vapor barrier just to be sure it doesn’t melt against epoxy first but if it works there you go. Its like lining your baking sheet in parchment paper, easier clean up.

[@petergosney6433]

Removing the melamine: First, the texture of the melamine is part of the problem. A light sanding with 300 grit will help prior to mold assembly. With the sides, lining with Tuck tape, or even simple packing tape, will fix them. When preparing the base with mold release, spray a coat, then wipe it in with a rag, then re-spray. With breaking it apart, you need to start the process without damaging the piece. If you set a thread insert through the base near a corner when constructing the mold, then Teflon tape a bolt into it, flush with the base surface so it won’t leak. After curing and removing the sides, screwing the bolt in will prise up the corner and break the adhesion. From there it’s easy.

[@Loaderdani]

They asked for advice after mold assembly. It’s easy to fix it with preparation, in hindsight, it’s harder to solve after the mistake has been made.

An interesting material for furniture is microlam beams. One of my uncles made a dining room table by sawing a microlam beam into strips then gluing them side by side with the thin laminates vertical. The entire table, top and base is made like that. He did mention that splinters were a real pain to deal with. He had to repeatedly apply finish and sand until splinters quit popping up. With the epoxies available now, I bet that one thinned coat would hold everything so it could be sanded without splintering.

[@Salerias]

I think it depends on the end product. Many people hate epoxy tables (or most thinks with epoxy in general) because it is so much done (and often not very good. Not on your products but in general they are often not good done and it is often just that "oh I have a pice of wood or other material left, let's just slap epoxy on it". That is often dumb in that way that they could often just sand a bit of the top and get the same or better result). Epoxy is a material that can look pretty good if done correctly but that is sadly often not the case.

Regarding the size of your forms, and easier solution (imo) would be to caulk the seams between the edges before fastening to the base of the form, instead of caulking the inside corner.

I liked the round table from the last video, but I think I prefer this one. Another success

I saw an epoxy table that had bubbles inside and they under lit it and it looked amazing.
