Hey guys, you have a phisher posting on all the comments

[@tahoemike5828]

It should go to that guy who spent what looked like a year of his life sanding and buffing that thing to crystal clear.

[@Ed_Robson_1970]

I love the use of the word 'we' by Ben in the statement 'we spent 6 weeks working on this', who then didn't appear in a single second of the build 😂

[@CrimsonCustomGuitars]

You got me 😆

[@vanshankguitars]

It's a collective "we"... as opposed to the Royal "We" lol.

[@tusharjamwal]

@@vanshankguitars no no to be a part of the collective "we" the person saying it has to be in it and that was the joke. he didn't say "my team" or "Ben and Josh" and then subsequently use "they". He was all about the "we" from the outset. xD

Put your logo and a signature on this table and... worth a million! What a great presentation piece this would be for somebody.

[@PurpleDracos]

So how many months or years later do you expect to still find resin snow around the workshop.

[@jellybingus416]

That is ridiculously beautiful!

I'd be curious to see where you mind would go with a Srabilized/ Hybrid Guitar too.

Come on guys, a lottery is NOT a giveaway. Crimson doesn't need clickbait.

[@DominusFeles]

How’s the tone?

[@chrisggoodwin777]

That is indeed a fantastic looking table, but probably cost prohibitive to ship to the States

[@wr3ncher]

But someone will pay for it.

[@RaccoonHenry]

looks great! I'd totally enter the raffle, but for the shipping rate to Mexico I'd much rather buy an actual guitar from you, or maybe even enroll in the building course! hope it finds a good home

[@digitaIgorilla]

What would've topped it off is if you'd also added the obligatory bow tie inlay randomly too

[@CrimsonCustomGuitars]

Lol I agree.. bow tie 'holding' the resin to one edge of the bog oak would do nicely!

[@DominusFeles]

I was close to entering until I read the shipping estimate 😅 Ben wouldn’t fancy a road trip to Sweden? With a trailer full of table 😇

[@johnkirwan762]

Spectacular - the gloss epoxy vs satin wood areas kind of make it look like it's been rained on/as if the epoxy is still liquid... I live in Ireland there must be some bog oak knocking around...

[@CrimsonCustomGuitars]

At one point the whole thing was glossy and I thought it looked pretty cheap.. I love the dichotomy if gloss and matt and am really happy it turned out like this

Nice looking table that, Ben. I really enjoy watching builds, this table reminded me of Blacktail Studio. Good luck to the winner of the raffle. Delivery is gonna be a bit of an issue, weight/cost, unless they collect with a "man and a van"

I'd love the table but it would probably cost a small fortune to ship to Canada so I'll have to pass. It looks beautiful however and I found the video very interesting. Perhaps I'll build a smaller version of it for our living room coffee table in the near future. Probably out of a local cedar burl if I can find one at reasonable cost.

[@eklypse69]

10:03 that's not a drum sander - it's a whole percussion section!

[@insanerotta5332]

How many guitar builders does it take to build a table? :D

Having slabbed a table before, 8:18 thru 11:08 has my full sympathy!

[@ericl6460]

And with no infeed or outfeed table. 😅

[@woodstoney]

When are you going to put the strings on it and give it a proper tuning? ;)

[@CrimsonCustomGuitars]

I am so tempted to cut it up for guitar tops.. so so tempted!

[@myturningpoint]

before I buy some raffle tickets, what's the intonation like on it?

[@CrimsonCustomGuitars]

Solid gold!

[@stianandreassen3903]

So 20 GBP shipping on all items right? :P hehe JK of course, but the table is beautiful! Question though, is it completely covered in resin or does the wood come through? I assume so since you treated it with the oil. Just curious! Well done!

[@CrimsonCustomGuitars]

The cracks in the wood are filled with resin but the surface is lovely and tactile and feels natural.

[@andrewclayton3886]

Bought tickets based on the thumbnail. Will watch the video later and prey that I don’t win because it won’t fit in my house……. Might make a nice present for my parents though.

Ben, you must really not want to build that hand tool acoustic.😛

[@nestlebraemusic]

Nice..

[@420RcPilot]

I thought you said you would finish the handtool build...

[@PaulCooksStuff]

He didn't work on the table. The other guys did. He was on holiday with his family. You begrudge him taking a week off once a year? Your viewing needs are more important than downtime with his family?

[@420RcPilot]

@@PaulCooksStuff I did not begrudge anyone, but sofar we have seen a tool restoration video and a table video since he stated he would be finishing the "hand tool´ build before doing anything else. Being a longtime viewer of this channel I am fully used to Ben´s diversions, and I like it. And I am sure the man can take it just fine....after all, he constantly jokes about it himself ;-)

[@PaulCooksStuff]

@@420RcPilot what he said was no other guitar builds before finishing the fencepost. The tool+table are fillers to enable the holiday rather than have no content for a week. He also constantly jokes about his oppositional defiance disorder. Part of me hopes he deliberately delays the travel guitar every time somebody moans about it.

[@tonywoodford8296]

Quick question can I put scallops on a bass guitar 🎸

Yes.. not sure if it would improve anything but it certainly can be done.

Less of a table, and more of a good bit of stock for some guitar bodies!

[@CrimsonCustomGuitars]

Honestly, before they thicknessed it I was 100% considering making the table, then making a click bait video.. 'cutting up a river table to make guitars' video.. sadly they took too much off and its not thick enough for that. 😞

Never again on the table making, and tool restoration is going to be very very rare.. guitars all the way. This video was done so I could take a family holiday last week, back to finishing the hand tool build from this coming Saturday.

[@phcoh]

Bog 'Oak' is 99.9% of the time actually pine, there is little left of the actual wood structure maybe the cell membrane and resin that's half way to becoming Amber, hence the blunting of all even router bit tool edges, and that curious smell of pine when you think ur cutting oak, Ben just give urself a slap and do not do it again. Once dried out this stuff turns to dust really quick... But great in a fish tank where it keeps wet.

Bog oak table is a terrible name for expensive, premium product. Ancient oak, black oak, peat oak... would be more attractive in terms of people money spending willingness. Otherwise, great table. Great job.

[@MrSongwriter2]

River tables are about as desirable as pallet tables. One of the shittest trends in woodworking

[@TomsBackyardWorkshop]

I know a lot of people will like it but I think it is ugly.

[@RuthlessMojo]

I think it's a bit misleading to call this a giveaway. A giveaway implies that you will receive it at no cost. You're selling 5000 tickets @ £5 each, that's £25000, your estimated tables worth. Are the proceeds of the raffle going to charity? Or is Crimson retaining them? I don't think it was mentioned on the raffle site. Of course you should be compensated for your materials, time and labour. But why not just state in the title it's being raffled off? Love you guys and everything you do but this seems very clickbait like.

[@LevoDesnoBre]

Oh boy! This channel is really going downhill fast. I expect the name to be changed to Crimson Custom shopping network soon. Raffle this, raffle that, big sale here, big sale there (10% is not a sale LOL), I use mine everyday, isotunes here, isotunes there,.... Every video has basically watered down to selling stuff. There was a time when Ben was saying how he doesn't like what a certain company represents and how they run their business (starts with Stewma...). Well, meet the lost twin. Really sad.
