Making Wood Melt

[@garylikowskijr2305]

You need to continue these projects that integrate sculpture and furniture. Clearly sets you apart from other makers. Love this.

[@MichaelAlm]

Thanks! Good to hear. I’m definitely excited to make another piece 😁

[@slou827]

So satisfied with the way he lined up the music and the nail gun 👌🏼

[@OddityUnleashed]

Beautiful table! I especially like how you added the maple to the legs in order to make the piece as a whole more cohesive. First video of yours that I watched and I just subscribed!

[@MichaelAlm]

Thank you!

[@annlyon.2040]

Me too ! Lol

Same. :)

[@mizzbelle97]

KZbin is so cool because there are whole art crafts I would never get to learn about but now I get to watch a whole 15 minute video on wood sculpting and furniture making at 2AM. DOPE!

[@ellaboffrell]

Watching you carve the drips was one of the most satisfying things I've ever seen. What an absolutely beautiful (and functional!) piece of art

[@ImperialKneazle]

Wow - totally blown away watching this. Such an intriguing idea and exquisite piece of furniture.

[@ExcalibursEdge]

That table is absolutely fantastic. I'm a wood carver, and want to get into building other projects. This gives me a lot of enthusiasm and excitement to get started. Thanks so much!

[@MichaelAlm]

Thanks! Glad to hear it 😁

[@danielmays1986]

As a skilled tradesman for over 40 years, I always appreciate watching those few who are able to hone their skill set to the level of artisan. Just by watching your methods, it was clear to me that your work was at a level that few approach. Great project, great instructions, and a great result. I subscribed.

[@MichaelAlm]

Thanks Daniel!

[@straight2dapointD]

amazing stuff!! I could see myself drunk and staring at that table waiting for the wood to drip. It just catches the eye

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Super fun project!

[@MichaelAlm]

Thanks Tamar!

[@jadelee6555]

One of the most unique pieces of furniture I've ever seen

[@KomarProject]

Looks great brother. The little inserts for the legs are awesome

[@ShamanETM]

Man, it was looking good, then you put the shellac on it and it became artwork.

[@MichaelAlm]

It makes that curly maple pop! Thanks dude!

[@modustrial]

watched this right when it came out, and just came back to check how the video is doing....glad to see it is getting the attention it deserves! :) this might be my new favorite Alm Fab project.

[@MichaelAlm]

Thanks Mike!!

[@carr869]

OK, I love it. Thanks for taking the time to make and share this video with us.

[@SynthVerseSounds]

I just can say WOW.. kudos to your wood working skills.. awesome creativity.. god bless you man..

[@jt_mallett_ii]

That was ...... SO COOL AMAZING FANTASTIC & VERY VERY IMPRESSIVE!!

[@MrsGump]

What a gorgeous side table! Just the little details you put into it, like the wee wooden block feet on the bottom of the metal legs - it's those wee things that makes it more a piece of art than plain furniture! What a very talented guy you are :) Ur vid popped up in my recommendations n I'm SO glad I clicked on it! Def got a new sub from me - now I'm going to binge watch the rest!

[@lauramarshall6376]

That snake and bird sculpture - OMG! You are incredibly talented! And of course, the table is awesome.

[@sweets6259]

This is just gorgeous! Lovely work and craftmanship!

[@abhisheksoni2980]

Love from India. Never seen anyone even attempting to make something so beautiful!!

[@Zogg1281]

Runny wood on a table top....... Awesome!!!! The way the wood seems to run over the edges is quite a bit like how I've seen Apoxy Resins doing the same thing. Never thought I'd every see the same effect in wood..... which is solid! I love it 👍👍👍 That snake and eagle sculpture at the beginning looks so real as well 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@theyoungfool.1895]

My god, that tables incredible, imagine all the colour-ways you could make, bloody immaculate.

[@newbassnation6014]

You should mix the two more often it turned out really cool. I wish I could buy it from you.

[@yvonnerahmes9618]

Watched your video, subscribed! This sculptural approach to wood working, floored me. As an artist (62, from New England) I appreciate wood working and all arts, but this was enlightening to me. I sure hope you charge a lot if you sell it, what a beautiful piece! The metal, the wood at the bottom of the legs so impressive, but the "melting wood" sublime :)

[@joannesferrati3076]

Thank you for sharing your skills. So enjoyed watching you work! Finding your channel is such a relief! Watching someone who knows what he is doing, doesn't lie about his accomplishments and does what he says is a nice change from the daily Trump coverage. Bring sanity back to the world! I forgot what an honest day's work looks like. A real man at work.

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

This table is AMAZING!

[@MichaelAlm]

Thank you 😁

[@mv0lution]

This is my first video from you I've watched and I'm absolutely speechless. You are a master at your art and it shows. Sculpting + furniture making? What an awesome combo. Not to mention, the editing is on point and I didn't even realize 15 minutes had gone by! Subscribed

[@steveiv9250]

You are truly in a league of your own, Anyone who gave this a thumbs down ...please please ..please show us what you got. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@blackdog12873]

awesome work. glad i stumbled upon you and your work. best wishes from a novice scrollsawer in mumbai india.

The maple caught me right away...such a gorgeous table...love it!

[@MadeByMarylou]

The concept, the execution, the artistry!! It’s beautiful!

[@MichaelAlm]

Thanks Marylou!!

[@TheSoulCourier]

Wow....just wow! Endless possible combinations of wood and grains could make this piece go with lots of design choices. Amazing work!

[@HaniYahya9]

9:35 one side got curved horizontally and the other vertically for maximum grip, wow! Love the attention to details!

[@johnharvison5780]

You are incredibly talented. I've been a carpenter for 20 years, I have never even considered a project like this!

[@McChristine69]

yall saying skin and im over here like: g r a m c r a c k e r

[@shirleyfaust7417]

Simply EXTRAORDINARY! It should be in a museum!

[@davebauerart]

Wonderful. The melting wood effect and metal wood are very cool.

[@jaykay6340]

That snake and hawk carving is incredible!

[@willmckimm9727]

This is the first time in while that I’ve actually sat down, relaxed and enjoyed a great video. The soundtrack is really good and the editing is awesome. Keep up the good work

[@MichaelAlm]

Thank you!

[@larrysimmons7084]

Wow. Beautifully executed. Watching the grain pop when you put on the finish...beautiful. Thanks for letting us watch.

[@magpie5710]

Wow, that is a really beautiful melt. I too thought it looked like an animal hide draped over a table. Really impressive.

[@EthanCarterDesigns]

Absolutely incredible - it's so cool seeing your furniture and sculpture backgrounds coming together in one piece...truly a piece of art Michael!

[@MichaelAlm]

Thanks Ethan!

[@rubenrobles1162]

You've been given a gift. It was pretty amazing watching this come together. Excellent!

[@leenahusa1806]

This is a true piece of art. Wow! Would love to see more like this ❤️

[@sambone9]

my guy your channel is so underrated. Keep this up. I started leatherworking and its been a big interest of mine to start something like this and this is super impressive. Im loving your work.

[@MichaelAlm]

Thank you!

[@yugen]

Damn that contour sander would be great for making bows.

[@Nazrin133]

a very detailed guy from start to editing. Synced the beat to the nailing part is candy to my ear.

This is by far the BEST wood working video I've EVER seen!

[@DexCaliber]

that is some beautiful work, great job.

[@kianeko2120]

Amazing! You should make a whole set of those.

[@gregstockert3169]

Very nice, I like to sculpt as well, and maple is one of my favorite woods. The melted wood is unexpected and really catches your attention. Looks like the Arbor Tech really works well for this process.

[@lukemartin9037]

Amazing work! Can't wait to see what else you produce!

[@onefeather2]

I keep coming back to this one Absolutely love it, reminds me of unusual high-end piece that is seen in art museum and high-end furniture one of a kind piece.

[@jawshoewuhd6689]

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!! I wish I could afford to commission one of your pieces.

[@carlmarsteller8649]

Wow what a great piece , and wonderful craftsmanship.

[@meagan1772]

As a woodworking enthusiast, I must say, the video and audio editing, background music and cool designs in this video are phenomenal! I was pleasantly surprised by how... pleasant the quality was. Neat stuff!!!! I only wished you would explain the different finishing techniques a bit more, though I suspect you've made different videos for that topic.

[@MichaelAlm]

Thank you!! I am working on a video on finishes. It will come out mid September. 👍

[@koryrobers6279]

Great video! Full transparency, this answered one of my biggest questions from your under saw cabinet video, and that was how easy the blade adjust handle would work tucked into that space? However, it looks like the fit and finish were perfect; well done!

[@markdutka3774]

I'm blown away with the dripping edge on the table it's something I have not thought of but it is really powerful piece of art and utility. Mark D.

[@MichaelAlm]

Thanks Mark!

[@tjfSIM]

Fantastic video! So satsifying to watch such craftmanship, and I'm seriously envious of that workshop :)

[@kr-666]

you should build things out of random materials, or just things you find, and carve them, like bobby duke's art, but in your own way with your own ideas, just subbed.

[@davewatchedthat]

Well. Watched one video, on your plywood challenge project. Got inspired. Subbed. Watched another. Got more inspired (I need a bar, now I know how I'll build one). Watched this. Got blown away. Only problem is, I need to sleep eventually...

[@sicpac66t]

damn, that is a cracking idea. got a glimpse of some cut-out handles on a couple of doors/drawers I think with bright colored backgrounds. hmm I would like to try something like that

[@donniemcmurray8347]

Dude this is one of my all-time favorites. And I make furniture. It's dope.

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

A beautiful piece of art! Thanks for showing us the process. I was curious, why did you use the hand saw for the final cut on re-sawing the maple when you have that band saw? Thanks again!

[@MichaelAlm]

Thanks! The board was about an inch too tall for my bandsaw, so I had to go with the handsaw.

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

@@MichaelAlm Ah, that makes sense. Thanks!

Learned from the best 😉

[@TheSteveAS]

🤯 Mind blown. When I saw the thumbnail, I thought the top was molded leather or latex, or some other soft, stretchy material. Amazing craftsmanship Michael. With such a beautifully complementary set of skills, I’d love to see you do more of this kind of work!! 👍

Thanks Steve!

Can we use glass too with this. interested to watch Awesome project

Oh, wow. Thank you so much for sharing this. Such a cool, creative design. Your combined skills make this such an unusual piece.

[@devonlindsley]

This turned out really fantastic and way better than I imagined when I first saw it on your instagram. Beautiful work!

[@ronh9384]

Man you need a bandsaw! I’ve seen people use the table saw to cut from both sides then use a bandsaw to cut out the middle but I haven’t seen anyone use a handsaw to do it since watching my grandfather re-saw an entire board with a bandsaw. He was a master carpenter and furniture maker who used power tools including bandsaws when he worked in someone else’s shop but used hand tools when he worked for himself. He would of loved this piece and your process! Ron

[@jamielovespotatoes9334]

Him in his mind: just working on some wood working His neighbors in their minds: why is there a grown man standing on a table

Nice work. Maybe you should give these things away to one of your patrons each time. Then I think you'll get more people sending donations.
