@funkydawg9444 is the winner but has not claimed the prize yet.

[@Kimmaline]

And *how* do you pick someone else if they never claim it???? (I'm so entirely kidding. I just had to.)

[@Chucklesvw]

Damn. Just found this. Looks Awesome!

[@annettefoti5936]

I volunteer as tribute if funkydawg doesn't claim 😆

[@AcraftyErin]

I think a great name for the table would be the Mystic Olive Vortex! And if there’s any other chance to win this table, I would love a chance to enter. This table is epic! 💜🧡💜

That's me. I am @funkydawg9444. Source: *Trust me bro.*

[@cocoxcocoa]

I think if you're going to make another table like this again, instead of putting magnetic mixers into it, you should try connecting the 2 holes at the edges of the table with a small hose and have a pump in the middle of the hose. That way the water would be pushed from one end of the table to the other side, and it would make all of the liquid in the table flow, instead of having 2 aggressive vortexes in the middle of the table that leaves the majority of the liquid at the edges untouched. It would also be much quieter, as it sounded like those mixers were quite loud. the only down side is that you would have to have the holes on the underside of the table, so they would need to be water tight, but that's not hard to do since you would just need to cut in some threads using a tap and screw in the proper sized fittings If you like that idea I would suggest looking up PC water cooling equipment, as it is usually very small, but can produce some good velocity for the liquid.

[@nicoschroeder5379]

Magnetic mnixers seems fine, but they are tooo aggressive. Slow them down, put 2 more in for a more even movement and its fine. But the soundissue is annoying if you can hear it somehow. Maybe they are way quieter if you could turn down the rpm. And it still needs to be on legs of some kind. Maybe its possible to build a somewhat sound absorbing box around the whole underside. A thing like this has to be absolutely quiet while usage or its useless.

[@NerdOfAllTrade5]

​@@nicoschroeder5379 they don't have to be loud, it's more about the surface of the mixer pill and the surface of the thing it's spinning on. I've used mixers in a lab that were nearly completely silent.

[@Edgunsuk]

john maleki just did this for a live fish table , was pants , may work better in an enclosed table ofc.

[@sorayaya3080]

But then isn't the pump what's going to be making nose? You'd also need a pump that wouldn't get clogged up or damaged by the dye passing through it

[@cocoxcocoa]

@sorayaya3080 a small pump would make a much quieter, and more pleasant noise than that spinning magnet. And lots of PC water cooling builds have a lot of special dies and additives in them. While it might reduce the life span of the pump, it should be fine for a long time.

[@TrickyClaw]

As a guy with a set of liquid core dice that have a pink/purple filling, this is AMAZING!!!! Because of the purple and the burl you could call it The Royal. Also, Wisebond.

[@danieldashevsky2354]

What a fantastic build! I'm excited to hear that you want to scale it up and can't wait to see those result. A trick I learned from a friend studying the physics of fluid flow is that the best way to make rheoscopic fluid is to mix cheap shaving cream and water together. The little guanine crystals stay suspended way better than mica powder and make some very high contrast swirls. Then you can dye it whatever color you want. I also wonder if longer magnetic stir bars might help form larger vortex patterns. Thanks for making this and sharing the process with us all!

[@Rockysbeats]

do you mean shaving cream like the foam spray? and wouldn't the guanine crystals dissolve to nothing over time?

[@screamingdonkeywoodwork]

I'll have to try that.

[@SneezyDwarfz]

Do I know the first thing about creating epoxy table (other than you are an absolute champ)? Nope. Did I watch the entire video and now think I can just magically create one? Yes, absolutely. Go wisebond for helping you get weird with wood and making your vision come to life.

[@joshcoffin6125]

I switched from Total Boat to Wisebond because of you! I made a chess board with epoxy casted chess pieces. The deep pour Wisebond did perfect with the small chess pieces too. I've told you before and I'll say it again, you continue to inspire me (and others) to not give up, even with all the challenges and problems woodworking and epoxy brings!

[@Donutsnbeer]

I read that as cheese board, and i wondered what epoxy coated cheese tasted like... I need glasses.

[@nicholasmorineau3638]

Randomly bumped onto this video, got wowed by the thumbnail, got dragged in by the process, got convinced I had to subscribe by the humour. Sir lemme tell I like what you do and how you go about it! Oh and thanks for the laughs and inspiration :)

[@screamingdonkeywoodwork]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@gen-thethreadedbobbin]

The process of your creativity in this table was mesmerizing. Watching the table work at the end made me think of watching the vortex on the weather map when we have a hurricane or tropical storm coming in 😅 I've never used Wisebond before, but I've only made small projects with molds so far. I'd have to say the most satisfying sound is the crack of the molding release, when you know it's going to be a satisfactory piece. Gorgeous table and I love the commentary you add. Keep creating Donkey! 💕

[@screamingdonkeywoodwork]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@margaretteets4746]

I'm a beginner at 65. I wanted to. Start sooner but I loved what you did with this table!! I would like to do this!! Thanks!!

[@screamingdonkeywoodwork]

I love that. I hope to be the same when I'm 65 I'm responding to this old post because I have a sudden compulsion to clear all the "I haven't responded." If your comment was generally supportive: Thanks for watching I really appreciate it. If it was insightful: I'll definitely give that some thought before I do it again. Negative: traumatic brain injury or just born stupid?

[@southhorizon5678]

Why did the DIY enthusiast bring Wisebond epoxy to the comedy club? Because they wanted to ensure their jokes had a strong and lasting bond with the audience!

[@elasticmachinery]

Boooooooo😂

[@redneckdrennan745]

damn im just getting into wood working. as a mechanic 43 years im tired and ready for something new. thanks for this!!

[@screamingdonkeywoodwork]

Do it!

[@ScytheNoire]

This is really awesome. I thought at first you were using liquid from computer water cooling, which does come in versions like this, and has biocide in it so it doesn't get any growth. Computer water cooling also has screw in plugs that would work better than cork or plastic plugs, and could be put in on the bottom side to remain hidden. You could also get a flowing river by having a computer water cooling reservoir and pump on the underside, tubing that would have one hole being an input, the other an output, and basically create a loop. PC water cooling pumps can be very quiet, such as the D5 pumps, and some have manual adjustments for flow rates. I think using computer water cooling parts could really lead to something that has more of a river flow, and a cleaner top.

[@screamingdonkeywoodwork]

mica clogged three pumps

[@ScytheNoire]

@@screamingdonkeywoodwork I think that's why most of the PC coolant manufacturers stopped using it. Even with nano mica particles, they still eventually start clogging the pumps. Still lots of DIY guys making their own, but appears the companies who used to make it have stopped.

[@rogermccaslin5963]

What a great table. The movement really separates it from all the other river tables. Here's an idea for your next vortex table. If you cut channels in the underside of the wood to allow the liquid to flow underneath when the motors are turned on. I think the channels would only need to be maybe a quarter to a half inch deep and an inch or so wide to get some flow through them. I think it would be interesting to get the currents flowing throughout the table so you didn't have dead spots. Or as an alternative, you could just raise the wood up a quarter inch or so. Another idea just popped into my head as I was typing about the channels. You could use one of those little fountain pumps to create an upwelling effect for a different look. Drill and tap from the bottom for a hose barb inlet and outlet. Anyway, just food for thought.

[@Ideal_Idea]

Absolutely wonderful concept and great execution. That first shake up at 35:00 is jaw dropping.

[@tinahaynes175]

I love this table! this is my first video, I just found you guys today. I love purple! I just lost my son Nov 7th and I'm trying to keep my mind busy on KZbin. I'm very creative so I love KZbin videos. They keep me busy and help me learn new things. I saw your thumbnail for this video while watching some other epoxy videos. I love learning new things. Thank you and I hope you and your crew have a Happy New Year!

[@truckerdave8465]

Have you seen a channel called Evan and Katelyn? They do resin too and they're very amusing and very very sweet! I think they might be some wholesome good feels to keep you company. ❤

[@michaellewis161]

This is amazing. I think adding glow in the dark pigment powders to the water would amplify and make it even better. Great job and can’t wait to see what you create next

[@screamingdonkeywoodwork]

Great idea!!

[@brandonbell4133]

i thought that same thing i think it would look sick with glow in the dark in it but never the less that table is pretty sweet aint it

[@MxchiefMaykr]

Slightly larger shimmery particles pigments or fine glitter would also look cool in there!

[@tealleal5866]

I am most impressed with the commitment to not get a funnel. I love 💕 it 😊

[@andreaguzowski7360]

I’m not an epoxy user myself, nor am I as skilled as you and your crew of your wife and all your machines, but I have heard great things about Wisebond. Keep up the great work, I cannot wait to see more videos in the future!

[@jojodahoneybee172]

Such a beautiful piece- I genuinely don't know how you make every piece even more unique- your craft is incredible! Wisebond! Good luck everyone!🎉❤

[@foreverfreealib]

First time here ad have got to say that Your creation is absolutely incredible!!! I've never seen anything even a little bit like it! Thank you for showing us your creative process & the one liners were pretty quick too!! I have never heard so many one liners in one place (my Cuz thinks he has you beat!) but not a chance! You've got him beat~Hands Down! So thanks for the entertainment as well! Im sure someone has picked up this masterpiece by now, but I've won a couple second chance drawings before so thought what the heck! Why not! Either way it was an experience that was definitely worth being here for and after seeing what you did with Wisebond epoxy why would anybody use anything else!?! Thanks again it was fun!!!

[@screamingdonkeywoodwork]

so good, I had to say thank you 8 months later

[@SOCCER101blah]

I dream of making one of these tables one day when I have space to craft. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@chill1627]

I have just started with my resin journey this past. I started with dice. All the fail dice I want to make into a table (looking up how to is how I found this channel) and this has been inspiring. I don't have any of the wood working equipment, but that is on the list some time in the future. I love your work! Thank you!

[@screamingdonkeywoodwork]

I’m proof it can all be done with… an evolution track saw, a Bosch router, and a dewalt orbital sander.

[@turbosixgaming]

What an adventure. I actually watched the whole video, you're a master at epoxy tables AND engaging KZbin videos. That thing is amazing.

[@screamingdonkeywoodwork]

I don’t even think my wife watched the whole thing. Thanks!

[@southernbelle183]

This table is epic!! I want this in my new house! We're setting up a game room and this would literally be the perfect addition.

[@screamingdonkeywoodwork]

Good luck 🍀

[@iannai5555]

I love the deep poor epoxy. Your tables have been amazing to watch with your voice overs. Me and my father-in-law are working on making us coffee tables based on your work. Keep it up!😊

[@screamingdonkeywoodwork]

That is awesome! Tag me when you get er done

[@stephaniejohnston7625]

Love this, like I've shown my husband a dozen times.

[@screamingdonkeywoodwork]

4,996,000 more and I’ll be viral

[@pathardage1880]

Thank you for the weirdness. I'm planning to do a river table in a little bit, and this just kicks up the ante. I love it. Thank you.

[@Grace-mz7qp]

I adore this table! A small desk cube nightlight/lamp version of this would be so cool!

[@Grace-mz7qp]

maybe a glow in the darl powder would also be cool mixed Ibnto the liquid?

[@screamingdonkeywoodwork]

agreed

[@brandonringwelski9881]

I have not started doing epoxy work yet just watching a bunch of videos prior to starting. Love watching you and your wise bond

[@screamingdonkeywoodwork]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@lx89foxbody]

Love that we get to watch you and Wisebond get weird with wood all the while turning out stunning works of art. Keep up the great work and entertaining commentary 💪🏻💪🏻

[@screamingdonkeywoodwork]

Thank you very much!

[@legendarycustomleathers8387]

You should keep this is not just a table.. It's a damn art piece... Thoroughly enjoyed the video

[@kidicarus2637]

amazing. I'm surprised it could be so well sealed, even with all those hours, especially with that olive wood.

[@michaelaplayz5489]

I love how every table you make that's different, not only is it a new challenge, but new learning experiences that expands your knowledge and experiences

[@screamingdonkeywoodwork]

That’s the fun

[@brucehutchings8295]

Amazing this had me glued to the TV. I was memorized on what you was doing. And this was the first time I saw anything like this. I did subscribe and liked. Thank you for doing this.

If it was insightful: I'll definitely give that some thought before I do it again. Negative: traumatic brain injury or just born stupid?

[@lyno8133]

First off, AMAZING work. I have been absolutely wracking my mind on how you accomplished this and I can't come to any viable processes. At the time of posting I have yet to see the magic you've worked and I'm excited to learn! Secondly, I've never used Wisebond before, or any other resin really. I only got to work with Alumilite wayyy back when I was working on dino fossil replicas for someone in town and that's the only place they bought from. I've since started tinkering with my own molding and haven't had the money to invest in actual good casting resin, so keeping my fingers crossed in the hopes I get lucky!

[@screamingdonkeywoodwork]

Good luck! I show it here

[@mrjwolf3771]

Someone may have already said this, but using a pump like the ones used in water cooled PC’s would not only move the liquid more, they are silent too and you can get various different liquids that have mica powder in them that will make it look insanely good Got to admit I’m going to try a smaller version of this myself !!

[@screamingdonkeywoodwork]

Problems with mica clogging the pump

[@TRUMP4LIFE1359]

First time I've ever heard of your channel and love it. Love your dry humor

[@kooter30]

I would love some wise bond expoxy! Very cool table. Wish the orange would have worked out.

[@TheZombieSaints]

That's bloody awesome! Maybe you could make a automatic velocity adjustment so it goes faster than slower. Ultimate D & D table!

[@screamingdonkeywoodwork]

plausible.

[@dellinger71]

I've tried something similar, but I used Mica pigment instead of pearls. The result was better than expected.

[@SJ-vh8pl]

HOLY SH*T! I NEED THIS AS MY GAMING TABLE! Sorry, had to get that out but seriously, this is a thing of absolute beauty and you should be so proud of what you accomplished! If I had the money I would commission a bigger version of this from you for sure.

[@screamingdonkeywoodwork]

Great compliment

[@KallePihlajasaari]

A hidden pipe with a small pump to move the liquid from one corner to another would be cool. Nice result.

[@KallePihlajasaari]

The pumping action could be done magnetically from the outside. You could add some fins to your magnets to make them into more effective impellers even in your current table arrangement.

[@renes6076]

You have really created an awesome table. Continue working with your imagination and create my brother. Lets see who is next to do this flowing table, but always remember, you inspired them!!!! Great job!

[@fishface9248]

Wisebond, I think this thing is absolutely AWESOME! Great idea using the magnetic site-bars! Love the commentary throughout! You are HI-Larious!

[@TheTechtony]

This is an amazing concept. I kind of want to do this on a standing desk platform and use something like this as a water distribution block for water cooling. 😂

[@OregonBladez]

Your commentary and humor earned a new follower. Not that I'm important, just enjoyed the humor! The olive burl is a beauty.

I am so in love with this table. Been subscribed here and on the clock app for a bit now and had to see this being made.

[@screamingdonkeywoodwork]

Welcome aboard!

[@LaughingInTiny]

😮 That looks like a horrifying nightmare to build. I want it. I've been coveting the dice. IMAGINE HAVING A MATCHING GAMING TABLE!!! When I have saved enough pennies I'm sending you an order for a big one though... Wisebond hey? Noted. ❤

[@RogueCow]

Thats so cool, feel like i'm going to be seeing a lot of these tables from other youtubers. Great vid!

[@alexdemartine5092]

Absolutely blown away at the design. You're a pioneer of your craft, A real Michaelangelo of Wisebond.

[@screamingdonkeywoodwork]

More like Mike Angelo

[@sairix]

So where the legs would connect to the table you have on one side a pump and then on one of the embedded wood structures of the table you send a house that splits into many hoses. You have the bottom part of the table on the interior cavity on a slight angle. Then on the other side of the table you have a catch for the fluid that connects via tubing through the embedded wood, to the other leg of the table which also has a pump. However this sucks from the table and pushes out down the leg and then through the h-style base support and up the leg to the other pump. Voila! A closed circuit water system that will flow like a river. Use black pigment and uv dark red with black lights... This will make lava. You're welcome.

[@screamingdonkeywoodwork]

We tested a couple of pumps and the mica clogged them

[@KellyLynne17]

I’m so excited that this worked out! That wood too. 😍 Excellent use for weird wood!

[@screamingdonkeywoodwork]

Yes! Thank you!

[@jon9879]

Wisebond is definitely worth the price! Good job Mr. Donkey or is it Mr. Screaming?

[@dreahbear535]

I haven’t used a lot of resin but wise bond looks so wonderful. This looks so awesome and you’re so successful

[@donnavaldskatingandfriends3908]

WHAT A COOL TABLE!!! IT'S ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! GREAT JOB!!!

[@screamingdonkeywoodwork]

Thanks so much!!

[@bradleyheathhaysable]

Holy cow man could you PLEASE make a follow up video with some more specifics on the build process? You can definitely use faster curing epoxy to cut down on production and shop time. WiseBond is great, but other epoxies would do well for the purposes of a future video. Also, could you give more of an idea of amounts of additives used for the flow part?… water, glycerine, pearlescent mica. Thanks!

[@Popdaddy580]

I think a cool concept for a table like this would be a galaxy, using the wood for a type of nebula and planets. Not sure how it would come out but its just a different take from a "river" style table. Thanks for a cool video

I don't know if the giveaway is still open, but I've recently started creating resin projects of my own, and winning some resin would be a great help, also that table looks fantastic and I love the aesthetic of it. I just came across your channel today and I love how creative you are with your concepts. I'm really glad Wisebond is helping you show off your creativity and talents to aspiring makers like me.

[@pamcarr4003]

What a great idea! That is terrific! First time seeing one if your videos. I enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing this project! What caught my eye to your vid was the purple color and vortex. anyway loved this vid and ill check out your channel. Pam

[@popotan000]

I love ur work man i found u through ticktock like a year ago this is an awesome concept ive done liwuid core dice never thaught about it in a table

[@Alonkr]

You could try adding a tiny pump or two to shoot a stream from the corners to the stir bars, that way there would be less 'dead zones' with no movement. There are water pumps small enough to go through a water bottle cap.

[@screamingdonkeywoodwork]

we tried a few, but kept ending up with mica clogs.

[@abrahemalkhuli2519]

Beautiful effect, a small pump would probably work better to move the water around. But that would introduce more potential leaks. I hope you find a way to optimize the moulding so it won't take as much time or effort to make, like maybe build a stand with some motors to "roll" layers of wisebond epoxy

[@screamingdonkeywoodwork]

Great suggestion!

[@towboatjeff]

That's one bad ass table, I love it. I've never worked with epoxy but after watching your videos here and on that other app I'm planning on giving it a try. I just gotta get me some Wisebond epoxy ordered and go for it.

[@screamingdonkeywoodwork]

Sweet. Tag me

[@thirryharlin4663]

I have been trying to design a galaxy table with resin and I was thinking about pouring it in layers with dye swirls and then luminesecent ink staining one various planes within the table pour to create a sort of holographic image of a galaxy, etc. Some of that Wisebond deep pour would be fantastic, especially since I am currently between work. I found this build vid on accident and I am so glad I did. This is amazing and I think it will give me some great ideas to use in my art and design/build stuff. High five to you.

I've always wanted to try using epoxys for a project... Wisebond sounds like the perfect thing

Sweet

I love the liquid cores on dice and this takes liquid cores to the next level. This will be the next big thing everyone is going to want ❤

[@screamingdonkeywoodwork]

Maybe?

Very unique piece and pretty samned good, my only suggestion now would be what about a river table with an actual flowing (pigment) river FX? Could be a river winding down the middle or one snaking it's way round near the perimeter? (With or without a waterfall lol). Can see more people trying to do something similar as it is a pretty cool feature. 👍

So amazed at this table! It’s stunning 🤩 What you do with wood and wisebond epoxy is amazing. Whoever gets this table is one lucky human!

Thank you! Cheers!

I'm pretty new to woodworking and cannot believe the amount of time/ work in projects like this, quite impressive. Dad joke: I was at a bar last night and a giraffe walked and announced, " first round of high - balls are on me!" Thanks for the great content and thanks to Wisebond for supporting the giveaway.

It’s was for……ever

Best sound is knocking the mold off and not hearing the epoxy slowly pour bc of a slight mixture or temp issue.. Lol

You should look into PC water cooling and some of the liquids they use. Your table reminds me of a giant distro plate. Maybe you could plumb up a pumping system with an inlet and drain to get a full range of motion.

I wonder if using a longer metal rod instead of the little white pill would churn the liquid more? This is an amazing table build. So creative, I can't wait to try one of my own!

I was thinking this too, but it doesn't need to be, and probably wouldn't be, metal. The pill has its magnets in the middle, so the plastic around it could just be longer. BUT, there is a limit to the torque the plate will be able to transfer into the pill to spin it in the liquid (water is quite heavy). I like that line of thinking tho! Maybe a pill with little winglets off the end that push the liquid out further might help?
