Making A Beautiful Maple Desktop With Metallic Epoxy Filler!!

gunpowderandfr...
I had to make a new desktop for my new office set up and it turned out better than I could have imagined!

[@robertmyers461]

Great looking slab

[@GunpowderandFreedom]

Thank you!

[@E.Meyers]

Awww, Eleanor was so precious calling for you at the end! 🥰 I absolutely love your desktop!! Great job, Steve!

[@GunpowderandFreedom]

She is a little sweetheart ❤️ thank you very much!

[@Concretewiththehauses]

It’s amazing how beautiful that maple looks

[@GunpowderandFreedom]

Thanks for milling it down haha

[@JohnSmith-tv5ep]

You can bet that you gave your Dad some great ideas!

[@danielfenton5914]

Steve, it looks fantastic!! I started watching your dad’s channel over a year ago and it has become my favorite to follow. He is just a very down to earth guy and the way he goes about bringing his entire family into the channel is very refreshing. You certainly have a great relationship with him. I’m not a concrete guy, just a retiree that enjoys various projects, especially woodworking projects. I wish I was in close proximity to your company as I would love a concrete driveway.

[@GunpowderandFreedom]

We both appreciate your support! It’s always nice to hear that people are enjoying our videos. My dad is definitely a great guy 👍🏻

Beautiful

Thank you!

[@DFord-rv3nz]

Never stop expanding your knowledge. You have to be comfortable with mistakes but try hard not to make them. Beautiful slab

[@GunpowderandFreedom]

If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not learning!! That’s what I always say haha

[@robh.7699]

Awesome looking job sir 👌 👍

[@GunpowderandFreedom]

Thank you!

[@JohnSmith-tv5ep]

STEVE, looks good! They'll only get better, now that you did this table top, your imagination will run wild with what you can make! I just finished up a rolling pin with deep inclusions in a piece of cherry filled it with clear epoxy then turned the blank on my wood lathe.

[@GunpowderandFreedom]

I bet that looks great! Thank you!

[@nickp3173]

Great job brother! I've been wanting to do this for years. Waiting til I buy my next home. God Bless.

[@GunpowderandFreedom]

It was a lot of fun! Thank you!

Desk top looks great Steve….

[@GunpowderandFreedom]

Thank you!

[@darcywalls6206]

That slab looks awesome Steve. Really like the colours you put together to fill the voids. 👍. PS the way I spelled colours is 🇨🇦ian lol

[@GunpowderandFreedom]

Thank you very much! I’m assuming you’re from Canada?

[@darcywalls6206]

@@GunpowderandFreedom yes sir born and bred

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Did you happen to see my belt sander?

[@GunpowderandFreedom]

I put it back in your shop on the table next to the table saw

[@DFord-rv3nz]

BUSTED!!!!!!

[@FredD63]

No POP I haven’t seen it ..👊🏼👊🏼🤣🤣

[@johnmuncy4872]

Very nice. I bought a solid oak door and made a desk top out of it. I don't think it is as nice as yours but turn out very nice. Your garage/office is very nice.

[@GunpowderandFreedom]

Thank you very much!

[@jeffreycurrie3410]

Looks really nice, I wasn’t sold on the flakes. Then again not my desk. It most likely will move after a year or two. A lot of figure

[@GunpowderandFreedom]

That’s alright! To each their own! Thanks for watching!

[@DFord-rv3nz]

Hey Steve. I maybe working down the shore for the next few weeks. I know motocross is coming and I'm bummed but I just started my business formally. I'm eventually going to get into crash up Derby. A guy I know you used to do it and I always wanted to try to do it. Great business advertising I'll let you guys know.

[@papadave9061]

Looks great Steve! Any plan to make another one for over the fridge? So, generally speaking, it's 1 year of drying time per inch of thickness on slabs/lumber when air drying. Wait a minute........you borrowed your dad's sander, then put it BACK? What universe are we living in? Good on ya'. My brother still has one of my cordless drills AND my recip saw. 🤣🤣

[@JohnSmith-tv5ep]

Well, you can kiss them good-bye! Lol

[@GunpowderandFreedom]

Thank you! And no, the work bench will stay plywood haha And yes! Im usually pretty good about returning my dads tools and machines hahaha

[@DFord-rv3nz]

Hope Motocross was good I should have suggested parking at FDR Park it's free the only thing you have to deal with is the desert carnival music from the Mexicans

[@GunpowderandFreedom]

It was awesome! We were staying at the casino hotel so we actually had free parking there haha thank you tho!

[@DFord-rv3nz]

@@GunpowderandFreedom that never happens in Philadelphia free parking. I'm really bummed out that I missed it I really wanted to go. Thanks again for everything you guys do I've learned a lot.

@@DFord-rv3nz thanks for always watching!

How dry was that wood?
