Pro tip: don’t allow your background paper to kink… those are like epoxy bubbles, once they form, they will stay forever. At least you are doing a very low key photography and the background becomes pitch black.

[@chasewagner3386]

[@WalkerStevensFineArt4U]

Beautiful! Have you considered using a tree stump as your table base? The stump will need to be stripped of bark, as the wood used in the table wood; and where the table top is connected to the stump base, you can use a 1/4" piece of solid magnesium, cut back 6" from the edge of the actual table top. The magnesium will be lighter than using wood or metal tubing, yet much stronger; and, you can use an epoxy paint that's the same color as the table top epoxy. We really like the resin tops, but feel the metal square-tubing base detracts from the 'natural' look of the table top. I'll send a picture of the next table I make.

Because the legs were black, I think the black background should be white. It would project the table more. Good Job. I like it!

[@lynnritchie70]

I think in this case you want the legs to disappear t o focus on the beauty of the top. So I get the black background.

[@lillelena7681]

The table top has white resin. You want that contrast to show the top well.

[@fthurman]

The table legs did disappear and made it difficult to get an idea of what the whole finished piece looked like. It's one of the reason why galleries have started to switch to a medium brown background - called "paper bag brown" - so that it's a neutral mid-range that offers some contract, but not soo much that it blows out the photography.

[@Nebulaoblivion]

@@fthurman yeah I was gonna say, with the white top and black bottom, a medium gray, or some other neutral color would be best. Brown is a great idea, but i wonder if it would make the wood look weird?

[@shannonp4037]

Something to consider, hire a kid from your local high school wood shop. The 2 of you can make this a project where they do most of the work for cheap but gain the experience and you get a table. Maybe down the road, you 2 collaborate on other projects for keeps or sale. It also works if you have kids or grand kids.

[@McGiggley]

I really love this table top! I know that you do a lot with black epoxy which looks very nice and sophisticated, but this light and white finish, would really be my style! ❤

[@petergosney6433]

Love your work. I have a different, perhaps simpler approach to doing “rounds”. I do large platters, where the wood is fully embedded, but my technique should be both scaleable and adaptable, even if you want to have the timber running out to the edges, as in this project. To create a forme, I cut a perfect, exact size round from 18mm melamine sheet using a router jig. This establishes the exact finished shape right from the start. I then source offcuts of plexiglass from a supplier that cuts to order, in the form of (say) strips of 75mm wide by however long the sheet was, left lying in their recycle bin (cheap to nothing). I then assemble my mould using stainless steel pipe clamps, ganged up to whatever length needed. I have found that the screw action on these clamps can seal the plexiglass to the melamine sheet forme so tightly that there is no need to caulk, except where the vertical ends of the plexiglass butt together. This results in a perfectly round mould, with perfectly vertical sides. Note that, not only does plexiglass reject the epoxy without mould release, it imparts a polished finished surface to the edge. I obviously use mould release on the melamine, before assembling the mould. With care, the whole arrangement knocks down for repeated use without any spoilage. I have actually used sheet plexiglass laminated to the sheet forme for a more durable, reusable shape. If you do that, you don’t even need melamine sheet, MDF will suffice and no mould release whatsoever is needed. I also have ovate formes for different projects and they work just as well. I hope this is clear?

[@thejackal3245]

For those of you interested in his photos, in another video he utilized a light painting technique. This basically means you darken the room, use manual settings (high f/ stop, low ISO, long shutter speed on a tripod) and use a flashlight to literally paint light onto the subject. That is an inexpensive but inconsistent way of doing it, and it can be frustrating because you can't always see how an image will come out on your camera's LCD and then replicate the movements you did in the last image. Instead of using the black seamless paper roll he has, you can just use some black bed sheets. Anything dark will do if you're going for a black background. You can also make what are called V flats (large movable walls) out of black foam core and gaff tape. You can purchase a cheap shoot through umbrella on amazon for around $10, and a cheap flash for anywhere from $20-$75 depending on how into this you want to get. Use the same settings on the camera for your long exposure, press the shutter button, hold the flash behind the open umbrella, and fire the flash manually with the test button. Raise or lower the flash power until you get the desired exposure on your subject. Move around with the umbrella/flash until you like the results. If you want to make it easier on yourself, get something like a Yongnuo Yn660 and YN560 transmitter and mount your flash on a light stand so you don't have to run back and forth. With product photos, it's all about crafting your shadows, so don't be afraid to stand completely off to the side or even at a 45 degree angle behind your subject. This method is cheap, consistent, and effective.

[@nathanielantoline9615]

First off, this video was extremely well detailed and helpful! The table is gorgeous! But this is a great explanation! I knew it was light painting as soon as i saw it but i have never done anything like you described for consistency. I have a picture frame i made that i would like to image, but have had issues taking a single image of it that shows all the detail. I will have to try this!

[@thejackal3245]

@@nathanielantoline9615 This was just a quick note for people interested, but I'm very glad it helped! There are tons of tutorial videos you can check out that will go into greater detail, I just wanted to keep it brief and give ideas, as he said he might share a video of his technique. For your frame, it's very important to keep the lights off axis so you don't get massive glare in the glass. Review the camera LCD to make sure you get your specular highlights (reflection of the light) in the glass where you want. Also remember that you'll see the shape of your light source in your specular highlights; for instance an umbrella shows up octagonally. A white bedsheet or pillow case or even a plastic bag makes a great cheap square diffuser for light sources as you might want to keep any specular highlights in the glass square-ish. You also don't have to use flash, especially for smaller projects. I often use those cheap $8 clamp lights from the hardware store for lights. You can even put different power bulbs in them--just make sure they're all the same color temperature. Cheap enough to get multiples so you can play with the lighting set up. Hope that helps!

How much it will cost , if u had to sell this table ! Beautiful design and work , respect ✊

[@EnhancedCognition]

If you were to have someone make this for you (which is about the only way to get a table like this). Then the parts list for the maker would be "roughly" about $250 worth of resin, $200 for the wood, about !150 worth of sealers, caulk, dies, sand paper, etc.. With roughly anywhere between $500 to $1500 for labor (give or take depending on the craftsmen and quality).. So a table like this can run you anywhere between $1000 - $2000 in my experience.

[@jaredjacobson4722]

I can give you a bit of review on the pictures aspect, since you asked. I think it is a great idea to take good pictures of your products, it is so satisfying to see! The pictures you took look pretty good, considering that it was the first time or almost first time shooting them. I felt I missed the top shot, where I can see the whole of table from above, not from an angle, but right on top. And, next time, when you are taking the pictures from the sides, try to put some light on the legs as well, so they won't disappear in the dark. You don't want that. Yes... give a little more time in your videos to show well the final product. It feels like you don't care much anymore once it's done.. ;-) Good balance of light/contrats for the top though! :)

[@jefftaggart6436]

Yeah, I know. So annoying. The epoxy he used is around $150 for ~3 quarts (3 liters, but whatever). We saw a few pours from a ~1/2 full 5 gal. bucket. 2.5 gal. = $400 epoxy. So he poured well over a thousand dollars of epoxy alone on this. Those pieces of wood are maybe $100-$200 a piece. So we're talking solidly over $1500. And honestly. it does not look good. That white choice was terrible. It does not bring out any of the color or tone on the wood and it reminds me of cheap plastic HDPE block furniture.

[@debiheney4666]

I too have gone down the rabbit hole watching your video's. I just go to the subscription page and kick back as they start to play back to back! I do so love the way you explain the process and the things that can go wrong. Some artist will not show anything but a complete table with no flaws. Those are pretty to look at but they don't help us as, when we mess up at home, we don't know how to fix the problem. You are not afraid to show the good with ones that have a flaw. Then you go on to show us how to fix the problem which is the most powerful video! You mentioned showing how to do a photo shoot. That would also be so helpful. To have an excellent table but, messed up because the photo turned out bad is no better than doing a bad table. Does this make sense? I could really use a video showing tips on how to do a well done picture of the finished table. I think your work is excellent and I like the way you explain everything.
