In a youtube surrounded by table tops costing 5000 in materials alone, this kind of video is refreshing to watch. Even the mixing tools are janky as hell! Love it! Instant subscribe.

Thanks for the sub! You can do woodworking without spending a lot of money...

[@Kenchinito2207]

@@marmotaworks thanks for the reply. Yes, I'm getting started in woodworking. Currently making a table top for a shared computer desk with the wife. I already bought some 12 inch hardwood planks and I'm getting ready to glue them up. Unfortunately I'm not planning on being a dedicated woodworker so forking out thousands in equipment is something I cannot justify... yet.

yeah man i just watched a guy make a table and said it costs 17-18 000 . i nearly puked. and unfollowed his channel. he thinks im born yesterday. most of us like to watch some random DYI stuff. but its also insulting to tell me some wood cost 18 000 dollars.

[@austin5797]

Just stumbled upon this video and it has inspired me to attempt something similar. I love the look you were able to accomplish without spending thousands of dollars and with equipment that many of us hobbyists have.

[@marmotaworks]

What I like the most is when someone tells me that I have inspired them. Thank you very much!

[@glennryzebol4472]

It`s not fraud unless you tell people the table is solid wood. Beautiful work.

[@marmotaworks]

Of course... Thank you!

[@davidelliott5843]

[@metdukhphom9064]

That's stunning the fact that it's veneered. I can easily make out it's veneer though by the look at the side. You did phenomenal in the finishing. Great work and I trust this is some sort of experimental.

[@marmotaworks]

Yes, that was an experiment

[@DayTrader__]

Hey. I liked your video and I especially liked they way you threw in some fun with the cameras and making it look like the pieces were moving their self. I like it when people throw in fun on their videos too. The table and the wood is just what it is. You get what you pay for. Great job and some great skills. Thanks for teaching some of these people how to make a cheap table so they can maybe try it for the first time to “get their feet wet” on their first epoxy table. I’m sure you will be helping a lot of people with this video. 🙃

[@marmotaworks]

Thank you for appreciating those details. If you have ever edited video, you will know that doing those things consumes a lot of time. Yes, the idea of this video is that people who are going to make an epoxy table for the first time don't spend hundreds of euros on wood and epoxy.

[@bamereg]

And yet again you blow me away. Tremendous job on the veneer! I really like your style too. It's modern and simplistic, yet at the same time also warm.

[@marmotaworks]

Thank you. I sincerely appreciate your comment. I'm afraid people won't like this kind of project... I hope there are more like you!

I think it's a great idea for a cheaper version of a river table as long as you let people know what it's actually made from. Great looking table.

[@marmotaworks]

Thanks! Of course I tell that

[@michab4083]

Great looking, alright - but I'm not so sure concerning the economical side. You save on the hardware costs (wood), but increase labour costs (veneer cutting and glueing ...). Provided you tell customers what they'll be getting, will they pay as much per hour of your work as they would for a solid river table?

Brilliant, budget epoxy build 👏 Excellent video, excellent music, excellent planning for trying a veneer!!!! I liked the base epoxy, the build pour, hand scraper, and your faith and skill that you wouldn't bust through that walnut veneer! Amazing

[@marmotaworks]

Thank you very much! You also like the music 😀

[@chuckhansen5325]

It most definitely is a budget build but not for $75. The mdf alone that is like $100 and the last time I bought veneer which was like 7 or 8 yrs ago and being walnut would cost around $75 and not but least the cost of epoxy. You can't estimate what each price of material and product would cost if you was able to buy them in the exact sizes you used. You have to calculate buying a whole sheet of material and he used 3/4 and 1/2 material

[@MrGunner296]

Impressive use of MDF! Great looking outcome.

[@marmotaworks]

I'm glad you like it

[@SoulCage9]

[@omarghosn8655]

This is actually so cool and would love to see some more similar "hacks" to make mdf furniture look high end...my understanding is that old furniture especially in the 60s used lots of veneer

[@marmotaworks]

You're right, in the 60s, veneer was everywhere.

[@GGG.793]

Amazing job!!! Great skills!!

[@marmotaworks]

[@jerryrudolph6603]

I worked for a high end contract office furniture manufacturer that sold exclusively through designers. Typical executive desk list price $5000 (early 1990). Tops were HDF with either black walnut, red oak or Honduras mahogany veneer. Pretty much the standard in the industry. Like the vid.
