EPIC Live Edge & Epoxy Reception Desk Build

Recently a close friend of mine asked if I would help him out with a reception desk for his new float studio. So I built him this EPIC Live Edge & Epoxy Reception Desk and surprised him with it!

Nice work John and your team . I sure hope people really see how much work you guys do and they appreciate you .

[@Justin-cv4oj]

just a note, you can also get vitamin D from button mushrooms.

[@johnstone4657]

That glue tip, using the shop-vac, is absolutely awesome.

[@delusionalgamer8241]

Wrap a cheese cloth over the shop vac hose to keep glue and epoxy out of the hose and vacuum. Pro tips

[@jonathonweigel8635]

I feel like a moron for not thinking of the shopvac tip!

[@maxortega8073]

My Dad never really comments on KZbin videos but he had cancer and got off chemo 2 weeks ago and I introduced him to your channel cause he wanted a hobby and he absolutely loves your channel and hes going to attempt some of your projects

[@John_Malecki]

Congrats James dad with getting off Chemo! Welcome to the tribe !

[@philraymond2543]

My dad used to restore antiques. When he had a severely cupped board he would wet the convex side and lay it in the sun wet side up, for maybe an hour. Bingo! board would flatten right out. Longest board I remember him flattening was the top of a 10’ harvest table in the ‘60s. Still flat today.

[@jcast25]

this is some seriously gold level pro tips! thanks a bunch man.

[@cholder9112]

I was going to comment the same thing. It works every time.

[@ericwilliams7374]

@@cholder9112 that Phil's dad did this cool wood working trick, or that you do this trick yourself!!!???😂😂😂

[@cholder9112]

@@ericwilliams7374 we both use it

[@alanr745]

Phil, that’s an awesome tip. I recommended something similar (verbally) while watching this, but I didn’t think to lay it in the sun after wetting.

[@kennywhittle7543]

Literally bought a 23 gauge brad nailer today and was curious if you were using 23, so there's the question you already answered for me 😂. Love the channel, much more of a show than a woodworking channel

[@John_Malecki]

Thanks Kenny! Thats the goal!

[@lesleyyoung5730]

-"Here's a little tip to fix a crack..." Me: (eye roll) Yeah, yeah, 🙄 glue and sawdust, we know. -Uses a shop vac to draw down the glue Me: 😲😶 Okay, that was smart.

[@dustinlalonde8460]

I loved the couples retreat reference!!! Encouragement BOOM!!

[@ericdeguilo1181]

hahaha i just spit my coffee out when you censored john at 15:50

[@INNYAFACCE]

the finished product looks awesome... good work boys

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Sick build, dude. Great troubleshooting. Casey should really start working out though...😳

[@porterwilson4665]

Is there a meme I’m missing?

[@karlpopewoodcraft]

Solid accurate and I agree that the five cut method is not needed for woodworking accuracy. If the fence is square to the blade then surely that's square lol happy woodworking Dirk 😊

[@tknoerle1451]

Yes, ya hit a home run on this reception desk project! Applause for ending crude cursing. You're an intelligent professional guy with genuine strength in use of a FAR BETTER than any average vocabulary. Thanks, John! Keep up the good work!!

[@jimmckay2337]

15:06 John's classic look of temporary defeat, as seen in all his videos.

[@John_Malecki]

Prob 90% , and it’s never defeat. It’s adversity

[@brenadanmartin9769]

No way a John Malecki epoxy project that dosent go terribly wrong! 2020 what a year.

[@John_Malecki]

Hey come on now. We had 1 bad go and now I’m that guy huh?!?

[@Realism91]

Bourbon Moth Woodworking recommended mixing finish with sawdust instead of glue because glue doesn't work as good to apply finish over.

[@Realism91]

In the same video he put glue in his mouth.

[@daveforshey3121]

John, Excellent job overcoming the bowed live edge piece. I feel the dominos will definitely hold the top flat. You and your team are really coming into your own. Keep up the great work. Stay squirrelly.

[@m.scotthern6306]

That design was awesome. It really appeals to me because I am a beekeeper. The honeycomb and live edge just go together perfectly.

[@DIYDREW]

Your commentary is next level, haha! "But John, I don't like the cold brew coffee... You think I like the taste of beer the first time I drank it?!" Lol 😂

[@John_Malecki]

hahaha yes !

[@CheveeDodd]

I love so much that you share all the screw ups and problem solving with us. If you ever come down to Morgantown and need a helper for anything, I'm available! 😋

[@Braddy_Daddy]

This is literally the coolest desk I’ve ever seen. Combing resin, slabs and hexagons 🔥🔥🔥

[@jamessalake1574]

Not that I Get a vote, but I like the big projects with epoxy pours. Great channel

[@elizabethdayrit4733]

That would make a beautiful dining table with a free style perhaps either a bullet or pennies filled covered with clear epoxy?

[@ryanwoodworth1883]

I'm only here because i like your pallet buys. You are hilarious

[@benjaminrees6560]

Your channel is seriously entertaining man, and you also share a ton of awesome knowledge. I think it’s also awesome how you guys don’t hide mistakes and show how you collectively figure stuff out. Rapidly becoming one of my favorite channels.

[@backyardbarley9086]

Thanks for the glue/shop vac tip, Sam!!

[@stuartpickett6490]

I absolutely love the fact that you make a mistake in every video. You don't hide it, you let everyone see it, as if to say yeah we are tradesmen and yeah we make mistakes and you overcome them 🙌.

[@TraumaQueen65]

Grand slam home run, fella. Love your work!

[@eddiejcc]

You Absolutely hit a home run!!!

[@MBBorcher]

This design is absolutely beautiful!!! John is the type of friend everyone should have! I would love to have them design a table for me if i wasnt in South Africa haha. Keep the videos coming. Look forward to more exciting things!

[@kellcomnet]

I absolutely love the wrap around hexagons, the rest looks cool for the intended customer but the hexagons I love!!!!

[@scarymuttstudio662]

Home-run achieved. Nice work.

[@shmueledri7790]

Homerun!!! 👍🤙👏👏👊

[@jimmyz1686]

Black hexagons are a sick detail !!!!!

[@tamarayahyasharal2343]

Wow wow wow

[@flyingman09101984]

This turned out gorgeous! Damn that wood really revealed itself with the finish, I'm in awe!

[@josephineroach8227]

This one was incredible! I just hope that customers who see this when they walk in are able to appreciate the amount of work and effort went into it. Amazing.🔥🔥🔥

[@darrylvlasak5716]

Home Run! For sure.

[@bigatlantafan6990]

You guys knocked it out of the park!!

[@anonshrimp8299]

That end where the desk is all built, it has some nice chatoyancy.

[@chrisdurand900]

This deck is GORGEOUS 🤑 the green epoxy with the beautiful wood and the hexagons is so well design together ! Nice job

[@rebelbelle62]

Brilliant idea with the glue and shop vac!!!

[@christopherdavidbarnett2366]

That countertop was awesome!

[@avenger007007]

"I was under the influence of multiple things." Funniest thing I have heard all nite.

[@shawncochran4503]

Sweet design!! Don't shy away from the cnc. A lot of wood workers say it's cheating, but they just haven experienced the possibility’s to do creative things with them. I use the hell out of mine, from jointery to just simple flattening the possibilities are endless. Once you get the feeds and speeds down for your machine hold downs become second nature.

[@austinhowell7074]

My favorite thing about this channel is the honsty and real-world truth behind creating. You can't win or lose unless you try, and failure is only an education. I really love how how if a video is 20 minutes long the first 15 are the process and story behind it, and the last five are "hey, we messed up, let's do it again" hahaha. Great content as usual

[@TheDesignerXD]

Yinz guys scored a big ole touch down on this one. Nice work. Love the idea of CNCing the resin slab then pouring another color in. Sexy.

[@Kirbstomp-jc9xm]

I think it would look awesome with LEDs under the live edge part

[@3rd_stall]

Yes boys, touch'em all, definite Home Run. Sam's vacuum suggestion also works on crack sweat.

[@shawnjohnson7696]

That table is 🌋🌋🌋...

Awesome build, and very cool to see quality work "N@" coming from a yinzer! Great job👍🏻

[@noiamhippyman]

That shop vac glue tip is amazing. Thank you for sharing how to do this. I never would have thought about using my shop vac for that.

Dang that vacuum idea is 🔥🔥

Hi John, you and the team made an awesome desk area. The green and black resin logo really worked but the waterfall live edge was stunning, great idea and build. Thanks for sharing

That turned our really awesome! Great work!

[@richardsalinetrojr1957]

Pretty sweat looking receptionists desk if that's the proper name for it. lol. on a side note as a guy born, raised and still living in Steeltown I gotta say I love seeing you guys rocking Pittsburgh shirts, especially the Steelers.

[@hubristicmystic]

Love the shop vac tip. Maybe put a rag over the nozzle of the vacuum so glue doesn't go down the pipe?

[@cjvdhx]

Stunning work John and team! Love it

Nice build dudes! And thanks for thr vaccuum tip with fixing cracks, never thought of that before!

[@ruevonbester3335]

Yinz are killing it!

[@czapskibusinessgroup]

Dude! The shop vac glue trick. Amazing! Definitely do more work like this!

[@imviper]

Hey John table turned out great really like the look you came up with. While watching you struggle with cupping on that piece I wondered if you had considered using a piece of angle iron to straighten and act as a backbone. Probably reasons this won't work that I'm not aware of but seemed an easy fix.

[@johnnygearjammer]

You sir, are an artist!
