[@younkinjames8571]

That looks nothing like the thumbnail...

[@user-be5qh3tq6i]

Ever heard of clickbait?

[@thefishingbrothers27]

He loves a good old click bait

[@jdub2606]

He got you to most likely watch, and also comment. Soooo, mission accomplished lol. He made his money from you.

[@trstmeimadctr]

Honestly, the epoxy reads more as ice. With the way the carving from the back looks, it reminds me of when you get those huge ice crystal formations like on the hood and windshield of a car first thing in the morning during late fall

[@seyyedamirir4977]

I love how you put an image in the thumbnail then use a different one as inspiration to build something that has nothing to do with neither of those!

[@broman6662]

Just what I thought too, but you said it in a much nicer way then I ever would have been able to lol

[@mattrinne]

19:07 In a recent study, scientists found that John's body has trace amounts of blood in his microplastics. 😂

[@daemenoth]

If you do a project like this in the future again I would suggest really roughing up the edges of the wood that will be meeting the epoxy at an angle and really get some good gouges so they look like a rocky shoreline. The table looks amazing though thanks for posting this!

[@MrPrincekc100]

Yes, I was going to suggest the same thing too. it would have been easier to do the carving on the wood alone first and then cover it in epoxy. That would have eliminated a lot of the puckering lol. but really great table

[@jono6379]

Yeah. Also based on the original AI image he should stain/paint the edges of the wood blue and pour clear.

[@MrPrincekc100]

@@jono6379 yeah it looks that way for real. If not a clear pour then a light blue tint to give it that underwater look

[@jacintarichardson2376]

Agreed

[@kevinmullner4280]

I´m from Germany. We have the word "Kitsch". I´m sorry, but that´s what is is.

[@TobyWild]

That's a really cool table. It's almost like ice crystals emerging from the wood.

[@JonathanDuddy-oq6nv]

Yeah, I've not seen that effect before. Looked super cool and original.

[@MagicianDragon1]

A good idea you could do on the underside of the table where you put all those burrs in you could fill those burrs with a really dark blue resin to give it a look seeing through Clearwater and the cliffs going down.

[@-paulmp]

I've made... less than amazing comments about some of the content of this channel, this... this is amazing content. What an awesome build, easily the best waterfall table I've seen. Thank you for building it, filming it and posting it.

[@KnightsWithoutATable]

I think that your spot that didn't fully cure came from one of the epoxy kits being not stored right at some point in its life or being past or close to the expiration date. The chemicals for epoxy to catalyze do break down over time, so if it is old or was stored somewhere too hot or too cold for too long, it could have gone bad. Its also why you need to make sure you are using fresh epoxy for your projects unless the product is engineered to have a long shelf life. Our high school woodshop table saw caught half of a 2x4 that a student was ripping in half and launched it once. It hit the polycarbonate glass for the classroom and spiderwebbed it from 20 feet away, putting the board half way through it.

[@jamieschettler8701]

😳🫢🤯

[@wouldiwasshookspeared4087]

I was gonna say the same thing about the epoxy not curing right, I've seen bad epoxy leave pools like that when the rest of it cures.

[@TKrush67]

This is unlikely as the rest of the pour is fine and only one spot is affected. (see my comment about contaminents)

[@Anonymous-sb9rr]

Those AI generated tables are not impossible to build, you just need the will to do it, a ton of creativity and patience. I believe in you, the result will be worth it.

[@nathanmoyer3763]

This is one of the best products you have ever produced. The fact that you are giving this away speaks to who you are as a builder. The appreciation to your fans is amazing.

[@pinkytaylor5845]

For a person who self describes as not being an 'artsy" person, you did a really nice job of pretending! I appreciate you stretching your boundaries and jumping in with both feet!!! Don't kid yourself, you're a creative thinker. ❤❤❤

[@timberwoodworkshop8744]

If you use mold release, it could have pooled in that one spot. I’ve had that happen.

[@Baggins_lover]

Gorgeous table! You should do the ‘table with a secret’ with AI next, would be interesting to see what it came up with!

[@RealAndySkibba]

Really neat idea to cut to finished table while Jon is talking about the different design elements.

[@Dunalo01]

Bro has so many income streams it’s crazy, -ad revenue -woodworking clients -courses -shop renting -tool renting Professional business man

[@coolabahwoodworking]

The see through is insane love it! Looks incredible! It’s an ice crystal table

[@mattsully5332]

table looks good! I think for my preference, I would have made the carving on the underside complement the carving on the outside more, to reinforce the feeling of flowing more. The rocky shore carvings look like they should have some eddies coming off of them.

[@riotjudge1613]

This is absolutley amazing. So much hard work too. You make me want to start making these.

[@jeremyskidmore389]

Bro I love your builds and your content. You are my favorite wood worker to watch create pieces of art. This table and your workbench build are 2 of my favorites. Your energy and knowledge you pass along in these videos is just amazing. Keep up the work man very much enjoy your videos!

[@DustyFixes]

I absolutely love the table. I've made the same miter cut on my table saw, and I've had the same result. So, I started cutting most of the miter with a skill saw to eliminate that chunk between the fence and the blade. After it's gone, you can still do the exact cut you just did but do it a lot safer.

[@cpl_0503]

That is 100% the best waterfall table I've seen. The really amazing thing is, even as you explained your idea of what it would look like, I had absolutely NO idea what you were thinking. At least not until you started mitering edges. Loved it, thanks for another great Sunday morning.

[@olivier.gauthier]

Quick tip for cutting miters this way on the table saw, raise the sacrificial fence so that only the bottom of it gets in contact with the saw blade. This way, the offcut has a lot less risk of getting stuck and thrown back.🤘

[@joestenzel142]

It looks awesome. Wouldn't it be cool to do a table like this with carving a landscape in the epoxy with the CNC and doing several pours to get a depth of perspective? Love your ideas

[@thepagan5432]

I do like the aesthetic of the table and the work on both sides definitely gives it more depth. This is probably, in my not so humble opinion, the best river project you've done. Well done.

[@Pandaaa__Bear]

I love your wood working so much. They give me such great ideas for something I love- interior design. Keep up the amazing work!

[@Bloatedbark35236]

Next time you carve from the back to make a rocky look you should try adding different shades of grays/blacks to build up more highlights and texture. I bet that would look sweet.

[@BMSculptures]

dude! I think this is one of my favorite tables you have made... The Ice looks legit!!!

[@thedyingmeme6]

Do i sense a.... teamup/ collab????????????

[@marissahamilton7840]

I love this table!! I have always wanted to do wood working but can't at the moment so you channel scratches that itch!!!

[@brandonhunt847]

The table does look good and I do like it but the one in the thumbnail is what needs to be built!

[@gaojen3365]

Considering some of the AI Models, have you thought about adding depth by using glass? You could do the river below, with islands, in an epoxy pour. but leave "mountains" which will hold the glass. This would give you further depth without the depth of epoxy.

[@thealphapackwolf5960]

One thing I think you could do for getting that feeling of depth is to pour a layer of blue, maybe not clear even, epoxy and then carve that and maybe polish it, then pour your clear "river" and go from there. I say this because a lot of the AI images look like there is two layers of different color of density maybe.

[@jonathanalber4107]

Awesome table, but the jagged rocks look like ice crystals. Maybe next time build an Ice Table?

[@screamingdonkeywoodwork]

You can check your color using a small clear cup next time. Its always way more blue in the big bucket because you're looking through much more of it.

[@ravenheart1439]

Man that looks awesome...you out did your self on that one..killer flow...

[@Splashbang_OW]

If you do another waterfall table, i would like to suggest you add more flowing lines downward on the sides for the waterfall. Round off the edge and cut lines on it and make the edge of the top part of the waterfall less transparent so that it looks like a waterfall, with the added bonus of hiding the top plate shape.

[@Makerr8]

6:15 I wonder, have you ever tried the rice method of figuring out how much resin you need? For those who dont know, you pour rice in the mould and when it's at the level you would want the resin, you take it out and measure it.

[@strobelightbrian]

That does look sweet! In the final view of the table.

[@rhondakennedy819]

It's beautiful. Small enough to be a coffee table. Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all

[@andrewpuckett6157]

Table came out great! before the last sanding i thought it was good but it got even better, excited for the next one. You one up yourself again and again.

[@courtneyermoian823]

The underside reminds me more of ice than a waterfall. Still love it! I’m glad I found your channel today. I just bought a cookie yesterday for a table I’ve wanted to make for almost 5 years but don’t have a shop or a lot of experience. Gonna watch some more before going to my local makerspace

[@matthewlaroux9297]

Been following for a long time. Just wanted to comment how much your work has grown. Impressive and inspiring. Hope you are proud.

[@DrivingWithJake]

interesting looking turned out good.

[@oscarpalaciosjr1853]

Great table. As for the soft spot in the epoxy I think it’s under mixed epoxy that was on the side walls of the bucket you were using that got into your project.

[@letsdostuff7767]

just got the e-mail that you hit 1 million subscribers!!! congrats john!!!! subscribed not long before covid and have loved seeing your builds!!!

[@marklengal9990]

John. Let’s build a bed that transforms into a desk. I have plans that I purchased years ago but I think it’s too challenging for me.

[@ideges-smasszer]

Hey John, I’m a new member of your audience. I found your channel a couple of day ago and I basically been binge watching your videos back to back. Literally just watched the first Waterfall Table episode yesterday and boom… new episode of the subject. Keep up the excellent work mate! Absolutely quality workmanship and entertainment 🤙

[@johnnyb95678]

It turned out great! Thank you for sharing the adventure!

[@Lynxpanthera]

Wow it looks like clear ice. I love it. Awsome work

[@eiv-gaming]

This looks 100% better than the OG. Well done. Truly a thing of beauty.

[@melissagardner6701]

Absolutely stunning!!!!❤

[@Human_OU812]

Was the uncured area where you dipped that stick in after putting the bottom back of the bucket. If there was something on the stick the contamination could cause the epoxy to not sure properly.

[@peterthill]

Sweet build. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@TKrush67]

I am a coating inspector. The uncured coating could be three things. Bad Product- but this is not likely because the rest of the pour is fine. An in-proper mix- but again the rest of the pour is fine. The most likely is contaminants; Oils or salts in the form that reacted with the epoxy in that area and did not allow it to cure. A fix would be to clean all molds thoroughly with a solvent like acetone or alcohol.

[@Wbardeux]

That’s just awesome! Amazing build

[@joshuamcneil7875]

Just a thought for you John, I love your shop shades idea, finally someone making decent safety glasses. But I work outside all day and need polarized glasses, little spin off from shop shades… Trade shades!

[@damstr8345]

Love it. I want to try doing a artic table like that. I like your idea of textured.

[@holzo4699]

That´s so awesome. Proably the coolest thing you´ve built so far

[@RemixproductionsAj]

I love how you use ai the way it SHOULD be used!! For concepts, just discovered your videos but I’m in love. If my dad were still around I’m sure we’d both binge all your videos together.

[@occheermommy]

My mom was from New Castle on the other side of Pittsburgh from where I believe his shop is. As soon as I heard him say “yinz” I knew that was the area he was from. She never said it but all my cousins do. So many memories just from that word.

[@radovandragun7673]

Apart from the table being totally awesome I have to say I really love your edits on the videos, brings a sun to my days. Cheers you lot…

[@Yoda_81843]

John, you should remake your volcano table next!

[@IrishLion-re8bu]

ADULT BABY BOUNCER with A.I. Make it happen John!!!🔥🔥🔥

[@scottmorris4914]

It looks amazing, my only suggestion is using slabs that have more slope to some of the edges, rough or smooth. Like the waters edge of a river or lake. That will give you move texture with the wood and you can make the underneath carvings flow right into some of the edge irregularities.

[@nevales]

Definitely awesome😮!

[@aceblack10]

John I love you man. My son and I watch you every weekend. Thanks for keeping us close.

[@faheem_786]

Wow such a beautiful table. Amazing work.

[@P4NC4KEZ]

This is amazing. I love it. I would love to see you try doing a combo of a normal epoxy table and that lava table you did with AI. Or maybe that diamond epoxy table? That has the potential to be epic as well. I don't know, AI does some crazy shit so I feel like any of your fabulous builds would be insane with an AI twist. Also you going to release a version of shop shades that works with glasses? I'm blind as a bat so that's the only thing stopping me from buying some.

[@mikewhittington3451]

Absolutely gorgeous!!!

[@d4b4y4re4kid]

The only thing i would recommend is cutting the wood at an angle to when sanding the epoxy from the top you can see the wood acting like the sea bed. Also throw in a couple chunks of floating wood around gives of more realistic look. But in all this is dope work 💪👌👌

[@backwatchbandit8981]

This is one of the best things I've watched you build! Very cool

[@Dazzc2011]

Loving the iced out look.

[@patrickdonnelly2023]

That is an awesome Table, WOW

[@gabukas5]

Just recently came across your channel and I'm loving it! One of my first thoughts after seeing this video was that @EvanAndKatelyn have made some resin furniture too and I think it would be so cool to see you colab and see what kind of mind blowing furniture could come out of it!

[@spliffmachine1990]

looks like some kind of a cut out from ice age, just needs a woolly mammoth frozen in it :D

[@abengtebaran5346]

I love this work waterfall art thus really fantastics very neath and extremely beautiful job thanks for sharing guys.😮😅❤👍

[@nicktolmachoff9415]

Saw that kickback coming from a mile away! No where for the wood to go but into the blade, another nice build John 🤟🏽looks wicked

[@hunterlord37]

No you didn't

[@GR_14]

Yeah ok bud

[@Chriskj21]

This is freaking AWESOME!!! One of the best creations yet!

[@JeremyMcconnell]

That thing is sick! Would love perfect in my living room.

[@SoilentGr33n]

This is my new shop channel when I make cactus pots and tealight holders out of driftwood.

[@jayhitek]

This is sweet! Awesome work John! You are an artist!

[@Jimbobuster1986]

John I personally think that's the best table you've made well done shame I'm in England I'd love a table like that

[@johnprestonii871]

Long time subscriber here. Love these videos. Honestly I love all your content. I made a small table after watching one of these a while ago. Very inspirational. Keep up the good work

[@markduggan3451]

That looks amazing. Good luck to all who enter to win it.

[@MrGman891]

IDK if this could work or if its been done before but what if you pour clear then use a straw to pump color deeper into the clear to make streaks then have rocks placed and purposely put bubbles and white after the rocks to give it the effect of moving water. Just an idea for river tables

[@jsbrads1]

Future project, put a wood box inside before clamping.

[@mihey671]

Looks awesome!

[@nathandowney813]

Don't forget to thank our AI master for the idea.

[@freethebirds3578]

Amazing. I'm not a woodworker, but I'm fascinated by those who are. My husband is a little surprised that I watch this channel because of the language, but the quality of the builds make it tolerable.

[@HienNguyen-gv5xi]

Tuyệt đẹp ! Chúc mừng bạn !

[@Dingdeng1337]

Not bad, but in my opinion, what makes these AI images so awesome is the depth that is created by that non-transparent "ocean floor" made from wood (partially painted blueish) and then the mostly transparent layer of "water" above it. I'm totally missing that "ocean floor" in your project. (Could of course do that by glueing another layer of wood under the wood you used here and carving the "ocean floor" out of it, instead of actually finding a thick piece of wood of perfect shape.) Please try that! 🙏

[@harrysneddon3395]

I love it dude!

[@ca11umc75]

Looks good! Would it give more depth to do a blue epoxy pour filling half of the river, and then a clear pour filling the second half? I don't know if the second pour would stick to the cured blue epoxy, but maybe if you did the second pour halfway through the first pour curing?

[@jayhitek]

This is pretty sweet! Nice wok John! You are an Artist!!

[@JohnRoberts71]

Great content thanks for sharing

[@K5Tony]

Table looks amazing. I wish i had the tools to do this sort of stuff because i think i can picture in my head how to do exactly how the AI rendered it and this makes me want to make it a reality.

[@user-cx9jo6me1i]

I absolutely love this; it is a shame I will never be able to win anything you make as I live in another country. BUT I'm happy learning from you and watching the amazing things you make. And a huge congrats on the 1 million subscribers :)

[@ecoKady]

I'll echo a lot of the other comments. It's almost more of a glacier table than a waterfall table. Looks great John!

[@Gundumb_guy]

I love these videos but John is literally the last person I would pay for a master class!😂 Nothing personal of coarse, he generally knows his stuff but he just doesn’t strike me as a “master” of wood working at this point. Tbf it is about epoxy, which he is pretty good at so I’m sure it’s worth it... probably.

[@jaxonPadgett]

Congratulations you made it to 1 million subscribers!!
