HUGE 60L Epoxy Live Edge River Table!

Watch me build a HUGE 60L Live Edge River Table! Early in the summer I was approached by Westminster college to do a custom conference table for their new Entrepreneurship Center. I jumped at the bit to be involved with developing young entrepreneurs, and after some pitching, we got the school to sign off on a killer Live Edge River Table design. Featuring Walnut and some awesome Deep Blue Sea Epoxy, this piece turned out sick!

If you love River tables and wild epoxy projects, you have to watch my latest build A VOLCANO LAVA TABLE! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJLUaqqsf5loj5I

If you wanna keep playing with epoxy scheiss,better protect your self don't inhale the fumes don't let the stuff touch your skin ,..I made windmil blades and factory I worked even with protection 90% people including me got heavy allergic reaction from it..

[@FredMcIntyre]

The table looks great John, love the stretcher/base design! 😍👌🏻 Awesome work! 👍🏻👊🏻

[@g-wolf9445]

Amazing how that turned out. That epoxy is insane with the amount of weight it's carrying on either side. Excellent work!!

[@agentlongwood]

I was amazed that the epoxy held on to the wood sections. When they were picking it up, I kept thinking it would separate under the weight.

[@jestinloveday584]

I am in the middle of build just like this. The river will be jet black and almost 2 feet wide. Final dimensions will be 5' x 10'. I was thinking I would have to let in a 1/4" steel plate in a couple places. After seeing this though....my luck it would fold up like a hospital bed as soon as I pick it up. Wish me luck.

I am not sure why none of the epoxy table makers drill holes in the bonding areas so that epoxy can seep in and form additional structural support. When you make a river, add some greens like shrubs. Makes it more real. Bury a few live guppies too
