How to Make an Epoxy Cockpit Chart Table - Pt3 | Boat Restoration (Ep59)

This Is the final episode In a series about building an epoxy cockpit table for my boat restoration. This table Is removable, adjustable, and has antique post cards and a nautical chart encased in clear epoxy resin trimmed In teak wood. An expoxy chart table will look great in your sailboat restoration, trawler refit, or your van/RV restoration. Sailboat, trawler, RV any owner can make this epoxy chart table with a little planning and effort.
Welcome to my boat building channel! This is my trawler restoration of an Albin 27 pocket trawler. Every couple of weeks I post a boat building or boat repair video to document various boat projects, sailboat restorations, or boat repairs. And when all else fails, I tell stories of boat motivation.

Thanks for the great video. You made a wonderful, very sentimental, and beautiful chart table. Congrats. And thanks for sharing your project with us. Your video answered some design and assembly questions I had. Great job!

Awesome job on the table! I really appreciate how much thoughtfullness you put into the nuances of your builds. Once again... words of wosdom from a common sense sailor. Thanks

[@motorcityboatwerks]

Thanks so much. I’m so glad people get something out of the details I’m find in these projects. 👍😁

I do a lot of epoxy countertops, love working with it. I use a heat gun, a torch and isopropyl alcohol to get rid of bubbles. Great job on the table! Love the inlay of the chart and the meaning behind it! Another great video. Merry Christmas

[@motorcityboatwerks]

Thanks David. I’m going to be trying alcohol on the next table I do. Perhaps another small co more table for the skipper 20 sailboat? 👌😁

[@davetowz]

Good looking table!

[@motorcityboatwerks]

Thanks Dave 😁

Yes looking outstanding. I would think about covering it with a some what thick pice of glass to make it heat proof. sit one hot pot on it and it would be a lot of rework. Great video.

[@motorcityboatwerks]

Thanks so much for the comment! I never thought of that 🐙

[@pitbull2743]

Looking good!

[@motorcityboatwerks]

Thanks 😊

Really cool table. I might have to do something similar on the next boat I build. Total Boat makes a deep pour epoxy for pouring table tops. I think you can do a really thick pour without worrying about the epoxy overheating.

[@motorcityboatwerks]

Pouring multiple pours was really pretty easy. The challenge was in removing the bubbles which appears to come from mixing. I hope this episodes gives people ideas and confidence for their custom projects. I agree This would be interesting to hear about experiences with other clear epoxies 😁👍

Merry Christmas! 🎁 Thank you 😊

[@Captkman]

The last month I've been thinking about the same thing for my camper. I'm thinking about using the national park brochures and on top of them I would have the national park tokens that I collect. All encased in epoxy.

[@motorcityboatwerks]

Brilliant idea. 😎👍I think this is a great idea for van life or RV. It’s just a nice little custom tidbit that a DIYer could do over the holidays or as a winter project. Be sure to subscribe and share/spread the word 👌
