CRAZY Epoxy Dovetails in Curved Wood Tray Build

[@jerryspfs]

I'm a first timer doing wood with epoxy and didn't know if I could make dovetails in epoxy like you have done . Thanks for the inspiration. Now all I need is more BACON.

[@Delta-gr2gq]

in my opinion i think the best part of your videos is showing that it doesn't always work out the you planned and having to adapt the plan and work around it because thats how real life works. it adds an absolute ton of authenticity to your videos which i appreciate that

[@John_Malecki]

Thanks Jeremy, we are just some normal dudes who mess up a ton!

[@Delta-gr2gq]

@@John_Malecki we all do lol. you do good work. im learning alot from your videos. i started with your epoxy videos because i was doing an epoxy bar top at a bar.

[@tknoerle1451]

I love bacon ...love...love ...love it! Creative idea for the wood!!!!! Way to goooooo!

[@justpassinbyy]

we love the fact that you are such a goof ball. we mean that affectionately. so many makers are robotic and lacking any kind of personality. some dont even use any dialog in their videos. you certainly are not lacking personality and really make watching your videos enjoyable and educational. add in the fact that you show your screw ups and the ways to fix them is great. keep up the good work and we will look forward to your future videos.

[@Motormouth2901]

WHAT?! no B roll, or beauty shots of that masterpiece packed to the brim, and overflowing with bacon???? BLASPHEMY!!!!

Great video, first time on your channel but not the last. I have a niece obsessed with bacon who would love this! Keep them coming!

Sick video! Keep spreading all that epoxy freedom all over KZbin 👍👍

Hey man you inspire a lot of people I’m 18 and I have decided that I want to pursue a career dealing with woodworking. Thanks a lot!

When you finished the glue up I'm thinking project done! We have bacon! The only thing better than bacon is bacon wrapped bacon. 🥓

I just watch woodworking coz its relaxing haha

John ... your edits are awesome man. Great fun. Thank you.

[@chipgoostree2959]

Wow so cool ! , never have I seen someone polish acrylic like that. Dovetails are amazing.

[@pmacksc15]

keep these videos coming. love the personality, the length of your videos, the mess-ups that you show, and everything else.

[@Lorddanielrushton371]

Excellent Bacon tray. Looks delicious. 😋

[@מעייןהמלבלבתחייםםםם]

You are so creative and hilarious!!! Your "weird stuff" is woodworking art. Like the way you incorporating hand tools and power tool and sing while working!!

[@John_Malecki]

Thank you my friend

[@shiveringlots]

Really neat idea! I know others have already said this, but longer shots on the finished product would be much appreciated!

[@anthonyproffitt5341]

1st timer. Quite entertaining and interesting.

[@levishishler2651]

Awesome project

[@SummerMan11]

Great... now I'm hungry! Thanks a lot. Very creative, nice work. Making the handles look like little pig snouts would have been a fun touch too.

[@batman7380]

Great build. Would love to see you try some chairs with river seat and back if that's something your interested in.

[@nancygoodman8273]

Your sense of humor is the first thing I noticed and you make it easy to watch 😉. I just subscribed to your channel and I don't do anything that has to involve power tools bcuz I need my hands to help in my job. Keep your humor always 😜.

[@Hazeyoazz]

Keep them coming they're getting better and better each video!

[@John_Malecki]

Glad you enjoy them Haze !

[@collectpanda3350]

I find it crazy that something as precise as dovetails is done by hand. Truly something that separates the wheat from the chaff

[@Patek007]

I can’t wait for the wood looking steel chair!

[@BigBrownie96]

the camera shots (overheads) etc and edits have gotten really good. NICE!!!

[@zachpayne1761]

I love all of the cool things you make, and how you are so creative while making your creations.

That's crazy, bro~! Bacon definitely makes EVERYTHING better. Cool project~!

BTW I love it when you add the bleeps in your vids... makes it much more interesting to watch

[@davegoldy1025]

FANTASTIC bro

[@andrewdg90]

Love it! Playing with epoxy and wood is fun! Although I've only used the tabletop stuff for computer desks and a custom serving tray. I'm not sure about deep pour stuff, but tabletop isn't the easiest thing to polish as it's much harder than automotive clear by a lot. Usually I wet sand it up to 3000-5000 grit which takes a while because you want to be thorough in between grits of you'll see it.

[@neonx6568]

thank you for making great content!

[@michaelellis9089]

Amazing video, keep it up next time remember hold your part it happens to the best of you guys it just shows that you are human!

Those are acceptable tears

Ambitious cutting the pins and tails man, love it. I’m working on a box with resin dovetails our the moment. Video will be out in June. I poured mine, and am dovetailing the base in as well, with a resin river lid

[@dsbally]

I cant be the only one that shouted F**k sake at the TV when you buffed that epoxy straight onto the floor hahaha NIGHTMARE!!

[@John_Malecki]

yes dean hahaha i was not pleased

[@chetanverma7639]

Delicious work John! 🤤👌🏻🥓🥓👍🏻👊🏻 ...... Between the epoxy and the finish, I would definitely consider it to be cured bacon! 😉

[@samdelonas7079]

Did the sander end up on the other side of the workshop when the camera went of? Great result in the end. Bacon mmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Doesn't matter where in the world you are, BACON.

[@John_Malecki]

It did not haha

[@lonalindsey494]

Do you want to get married. I am in love with you and your work. A man of my dreams. I can certainly dream up the projects. I have a hard time completing them sometimes, recruiting help, or even having someone on the same page that has a vision for art with wood to help guide me as to what I need to do or the tools I need to use. Not to mention that I have nothing in the way of tools that you have but dream of owning a shop such as your. For now it's just my basement studio. But one can dream right. Little by little I am learning and making my way into a man's world and I am loving it. A beautiful piece of wood is so satisfying. Thanks for all the videos and your also ❤️ sweet on the eyes to boot. Maybe I'll make a video for you. Lol

[@Smb12233]

Another bad ass build brother. Love watching a fellow yinzer kill this shit. I would suggest maybe some micro mesh, adds more time to finishing the expoxy, but itll be glass clear!

[@peanutlee9813]

You're amazing ❤

[@helensarkisian7491]

I’ve seen other epoxy videos using Yorkshire grit and/or Ca glue to smooth the surface of the epoxy. They may have pre-sanded with the super fine wet - sponges(?). Stephen Joiner is primary person I’m thinking of, Bobby Duke is another. Just an FYI if you didn’t already know.

Heck yeah bacon

[@bloodsweatandtearsforeverl9833]

You should make cabinet drawers that have curved tracks so it's weird to open, I was thinking match the bottom curve and out wheels on the bottom of the drawer, and you can make a custom track with the router

[@ILikeYous]

You got an A in shop class. Just found the channel, wow.

Love your thinking man. Just wondering how come you got rid of the bosch glide mitre saw? I was thinking of getting one.

[@John_Malecki]

It has the worst dust collection ever.

Noticed you are using a Makita miter, not the Bosch you had for your miter station project. Which do yinz like better? Was thinking of getting the Makita.

Did you ditch the Bosch glide miter saw? 11:12

[@John_Malecki]

I did

[@pierdolio]

Golly! You've got access to the best tools and you still screw things up!

[@HappilyHomicidalHooligan]

I wood have suggested pouring the resin in wavy moulds to form the long sides and done the bacon-wood as the short ends... Less chance of something going wrong during finishing... P.S.: the resin pieces taking off on you during finishing is Karma's way of gently telling you to "Secure your work when using Power Tools"... Just be thankful she was kind enough to allow the pieces to fly off to the side rather than smack you square in the Family Jewels...

[@calebdonohue5285]

Man, love the content you put out. quick question for you. what is the best non yellowing, polyurethane to use on wood that will spend most of its life outside? your opinion would be greatly appreciated! thanks

[@John_Malecki]

Outdoor is tough, most outdoor finishes will yellow. I would look for a marine grade finish , but water based .

[@digitaIgorilla]

Of course you should run some Maple through it. Only thing better than Bacon... is Bacon with Maple.

[@francesco_alexander]

Awesome video John but now I want bacon 😂

[@ShashMasuta]

Hey! At the end of your videos, can you put the video recommendations in just a little bit closer to the end? When they pop up now, they almost completely block the shots of the finished projects. For example, in this video, I only saw what half to the tray looked like because the recomd's came up so early that they blocked almost half of the left side of the screen.

[@the_crafty_studio_official]

Not gonna lie....its Baconlicious!

[@aaronlandy7925]

Great project. I would be tempted to use plexiglass sheet instead of pouring epoxy. Not sure what the price difference would be.

[@John_Malecki]

Yea for sure. Wanted to show for those who may want to tint epoxy. Also those who are curious about getting epoxy tips be clear
