How To Make An Epoxy Table Part Two

Part two of two. How to make an epoxy table! I have made dozens of these epoxy resin and wood tables, and every time I learn a little more. In this video I'll show every step to make your own epoxy and wood table. This one was particularly unusual, so its a perfect example of just how creative you can get with these types of tables. I also included pretty good mistake I made along the way, and how I fixed it so nobody will ever know about it.

I vote for the black back ground. White look okay, but a little antiseptic. The table just pops on the black. Your work is inspiring.

[@BlacktailStudio]

Awesome, thanks for the feedback!

[@baotrung3600]

This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection kzbin.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.

[@Canada1608]

If the client is happy with the base colour, that is what matters in the end. The whole table is amazing, great job!

[@BlacktailStudio]

Agreed!

[@markallenbell3868]

I tell every customer that my main concern is that at the end they are in love with their kitchen or bath, depending on the project.

[@jordangunter3480]

@@BlacktailStudio what color base was your first choice me personally I thought black would've looked great or brown I guess I just like matching colors lol I subscribed to your channel a month ago and I watch at least one video a day sometimes 3 to 4 videos in a day. you have great attention to detail and do an amazing job if I ever get up the money I would absolutely love to have a business making tables like these they are so awesome great job keep up the good work and videos I love them!!!

[@thrithgolden2748]

The BRASS looks EXCELLENT!

[@BlacktailStudio]

Agreed!

[@conritewing162]

The table top looks amazing but the gold legs are killing me!

[@versatileduplicity9313]

Oh shut up, the gold legs are fine. I probably would have made it a light sky blue or silver but its fine

[@conritewing162]

Alien Slayer seriously? The gold legs are horrible you may like them and that’s fine but to me they take it from amazing to mehhh.

[@andyadams1832]

Hi Cam, absolutely stunning table. I love the way the grain comes out when the final coat is finished. I also think the black backdrop looks better on this table. Please keep up the great work Andy

[@Norman_Fleming]

Ouch. Having to take it all the way back to bare wood and re-doing the finishing. Props for the commitment to quality, as always. I liked the black backdrop with the black epoxy, made it pop. I liked the multiple pieces assembled to make a table, nice effect.

[@rage9278]

Looking amazing mate! Beautiful and I feel that bronze look is fantastic. Great work!

[@patrickspaceman305]

Glorious table top, is glorious.

[@rahimmohamed7569]

Black background looks amazing with this

[@BlacktailStudio]

Thanks Rahim!

[@paulsenjohannes]

Absolutely beautiful. I love the finishing off. Very professionally done.

[@bouchibaala]

I am not one to comment on KZbin , but I believe there is some type of satisfaction watching the table waxed, buffed or whatever term that you might call, I love how genuine are your advices, I also think that in the process of making the table, you should add more footage of making shiny and all, not that you don't give enough advice, but just because, it feels nice watching it get shiny, good luck in your future endeavors Ps: thank u for the content.

[@pigcatapult]

This is a delightful work of art.

[@BlacktailStudio]

Thanks so much!

[@caroldavis5877]

The tabletop is gorgeous.

[@freedomtrailamerica2981]

Wow. My fav table so far. Gorgeous wood selection. The black epoxy was right choice.

[@rawilson7768]

I agree the base color didn’t go with the table top

[@porpoisefashionpolice4919]

When you're finishing the piece with the osmo, finish the bottom side first, that way you don't have to worry about the marks you're leaving on the piece.

[@BlacktailStudio]

Good call 👍🏼

[@donynajohnson9819]

The black backdrop is awesomeness in its fullest

[@BlacktailStudio]

Thanks!!

[@111route]

a piece of art. Beautiful. Love the gold legs too. Black background was really nice.

[@theowo1]

That top is awesome! It almost look like an airphoto from the amazon river or something like that! Really really cool table!

[@BlacktailStudio]

That’s a good call!

[@edpaine7982]

Love the table, love the attention to detail! Didn’t like color of base.

[@BlacktailStudio]

That’s fair! Thanks!

[@markallenbell3868]

I’m kind of surprised at the hate of the color. 1) it’s not going in your house. 2) that looks like the color champagne, which is definitely a new trend.

[@2404Pepe]

Wow! men, this is great work!!! congrats!!! love the detail your products have

[@f.sguerra421]

Awesome table. The configuration of the wood, the contrast with the resin and the steel base all work beautifully. Thanks for being thorough with your descriptions and product info.

[@PrincessAricias]

Awesome results on the table 😍 Definitely liked the black background best! 🎊🥳♥️

[@BlacktailStudio]

Agreed!

[@flameout12345]

Wow, if you can make a tree trunk table stand. It would be amazing

[@happy-dc8uj]

This one is probably my favourite up till now, your attention to detail is second to none and it shows in your work, it’s really good of you to share all your tricks you have picked up, well I’m off to watch another one off your master classes now. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Brook-ct3kk]

Gold legs made it high end, but the silver was fine too!

[@BlacktailStudio]

Awesome, love the feedback.

[@jimmymak8717]

After all that work, how much did it hurt to see the color the clients chose for the base?

[@kviaak7979]

I tried to give it a thought and I personally don't think you could have gotten a nice color on it by painting. The frame looks like something salvaged from an office and putting something like chrome on it would have made things worse.

[@dottiewebb4281]

that gold base ruins ruins it

[@meridien52681]

What an absolutely gorgeous table! Bravo on a flawless job!

[@lilyLily1824]

Just beautiful! Loved the black background with the light paint for pix. Base is hideous, ugh! You work makes it 1000000000% better! As always beautiful work! I love watching you videos! Enjoyable and very entertaining!! Ty!

[@joslinnick]

The client should have gone with a bare metal frame.

[@BlacktailStudio]

Noted!

[@rayzrblayd]

I would have suggested copper or brass plated. They wanted brass paint which doesn’t fit with a premium table.

[@gzubeck3]

How much would you charge a client for something of this detail? Looks to me like a $3000 coffee table. Am I close or way the hell off? Thanks.

[@BlacktailStudio]

Yeah, this was a little bit more. Since it was a little non-standard. But that’s about where they would normally start.

[@Wandafuldesigns]

The table top is stunning!! I actually really like the cloudy grey colours of the resin before it’s sealed and finished 😁

[@jone6635]

Beautiful!! Stunning work!!

[@lwalto]

Would've been just fine with out anything on the frame.

[@jamesseeger2383]

The top is amazing, great video and explaining your process. The base is completely wrong, the color of it detracts from the fantastic job you did. The client made a bad choice.

[@BlacktailStudio]

Thanks for the feedback James!

[@donaldadams5342]

A truly amazing table Cam, certainly one of your best. I love your 'warts & all' approach where you show problems & then how you fix them. Most people would edit those segments out of the video but your approach makes your videos so much more authentic. I have to vote for the black background on this video for the backdrop, it makes both the top & the base 'pop' much more than the white. Thanks for sharing, you & your wife stay well. Cheers, Don from South Aust.

[@shellyculbertson4418]

I really love the gold base!

[@jaytopham8514]

Well, what can I say . . . wow, wow, wow. We have just put resin on a new bar top for our pub (we used Glass Cast, a 2 to 1 mix). Which is nothing like the amazing work you have put into that table. However, neither of us had done anything like this before and we were quite hesitant to get started but, although not perfect, we are extremely pleased with the result. We have the 2nd half of the bar top to coat in the next few days ready for the bar refurb in a few weeks. The more I watch people like yourself who are designing and making furniture which involves either just a resin coat or a more technical design like your table, it still amazes me how beautiful resin can be. The wonders of you tube allow people to research and learn so much in order that anyone can have a go. Thanks for sharing. When our bar is finished I will send you a pic. Best wishes, Jay, from a little village in the UK

[@patmeyer2517]

Your detailed descriptions of what you're doing is much appreciated. As for back drop, like the black. Not crazy about the gold legs.

[@BlacktailStudio]

[@usherl250]
