Spalted sycamore bar for Alex PT1 # 646

[@mcburcke]

Beautiful work! Your shop videos during the nasty cold weather are just as much fun as the sawmill ones.

[@5stereosteve]

I really enjoy seeing you take advantage of all your tools, both big and powerful, and simple jigs and hand tools.

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Tim.

[@Gary-y5s]

Well done sir,well done. Your son should be proud.

[@markgalicic7788]

[@JackieJackson-l3t]

Hey Mark is absolute beautiful. I can’t wait to see what it look like after you’re finished with it. Oh and by the way, I love the sycamore

[@markgalicic7788]

thank you Jackie.

[@dougsmith9099]

That was awesome mark you made that come alive, like how you told Alex it was for Uncle Edmond 😮😅. Sure is a beautiful piece

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Doug.

[@robertmandigo7942]

I was going to ask you about your foot ware and then you answered that question for me. A trick we did when I worked in a lab to make it easier to put our gloves was to put some air into a glove so it would stretch the glove a little bit and then let the air out and slide your hand in quickly and repeat with the other one, some of us needed a half size or they didn't have any more of the right size. I had to laugh when you enlisted your cameraman. Keep up the great videos and God bless you and your family.

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Robert.

[@danno3497]

All i want for Christmas is for Mark to make me a beautiful bar just like that!

[@DavidGlaum]

I could tell you have a love for wood the way you touch it and hold it and feel it only a person that cares about wood could do that

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks David.

[@kevinmcpherson6999]

thanks Albert.

[@daveellis2117]

Mark, I am going to be making a bar for step son out of Spalted maple and I was strugging a little on how to flatten it. THANK YOU so much. You need to make the video on the flatten jig itself. I think I got it figured out but a full video would be greater. Thanks a lot. Tell the gang HI! ....Dave Ellis

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Dave , this is a easy and cheap way to flatten a slab . I want to do a video on how to build this.

[@JamesSimmons-pz7wn]

Good video Bus Motor Productions.

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks James.

[@keithmclennan3275]

amazing sled great idea love it Iam wanting to build one now

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Keith , I want to make a video of building one.

[@larrysmith8315]

Mark, that was a very enjoyable video. I like watching someone make a lovely piece of work, as you did here. I look forward to watching part two. Merry Christmas from Australia where it is around 35 degrees Celsius currently which is your 95 f.

[@normrandle7640]

Spectacular!

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Norm.

[@geedubb-q1u]

That’s one beautiful piece of wood there for sure.

[@markgalicic7788]

thank you GW.

[@jerrytaylor3331]

Great video I learned a lot

[@dougrobison1156]

Well, I try not to be jealous when you use the Porter C, but it's hard Mark, I'm tellin' ya! The planer is cool too! My favorite Dennis the Menace cartoon is Dennis and a friend are watching Dad in his woodshop, the friend ask Dennis "What does he make?" Dennis replies "Sawdust Mostly"!

[@Ronald-hx6zn]

I sid business with a company in Erie P.A. It was called Erisco.I bought wire steel from them to be used in the company I worked for in making plastic toys.Maybe someone. Will remember Hot Cycles.😊

[@richardwhite3711]

@ 31:10 once again I would prefer that all wood workers used " Feather Boards " even when ripping on the table saw / keeps the material tight to the fence and tight to the saw table if placed on the top of the fence / the new magnetic ones ( with the quick release ) are great !

[@richardwhite3711]

@ 27:45 some of the newer magnetic Feather Boards would really help here to keep the piece tight to the fence and tight to the cutting heads

[@larrybauman7430]

I liked your pointers. Even learned a thing or two. It turned out BEAUTIFUL !

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Larry.

[@richparks1966]

Are you going to add some sort of wide padded cushion on the front edge of that bar top for the inevitable black-out, pass-out, face-plants it will have to endure on your standard lush's journey to the floor? FYI: ALL high schools are Eerie.

[@danno3497]

I don't think a man cave bar would need that, But maybe a bar downtown on 1st Ave probably would need it though 😉

[@richparks1966]

@danno3497 I was already describing a man-cave lite situation, I didn't add a padded bar length floor mat.

[@MrJ4306]

hell thats a pretty table also ship it to lol

[@markgalicic7788]

thank you!

[@prsearls]

That looks awesome! You have a wonderful shop and equipment and know how to use it. A great combination. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this.

[@markgalicic7788]

thank you Paul.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

Like a blasted MIRROR! Went to the V.A. in Asheville today. The wrecked bridge was opened up yesterday so we got to go our old standby route. Piles of mud/dirt/sand and brush all over with equipment everywhere. Had a huge yard full of bucket trucks was EMPTY! Must've been 100 and they were all gone. Still working on the power. Got home 3:30 and all is well. SWELL BAR, Pal! A-PLUS! Happy weekend till another video aND THEN, more BLESSINGS! Good camera guy you had there!

[@markgalicic7788]

thank you Lewie.

[@remmiemax3624]

Mark, FABULAS!! 👍👍💯💯Love your "tricks" Esp "you can't add to cut wood" So as Dad taught me, Measure 2x---Cut 1x! 💯💯😎😎

[@markgalicic7788]

thank you Greg.

[@mcburcke]

I thought it went: Measure twice, cut once, swear repeatedly, buy more material.

[@michaelvieira5665]

Beautiful work and wood! Thanks Mark!

thanks Michael.

[@stevenclaeys6252]

[@ForgottenHillbilly]

Looking really good Mark. I have a coffee table i did about 16 yrs ago out of wormy maple that we still use today. I have wanted for years to do a kitchen table and it's comin' . The wheels have turned in my mind for years on it and there are so many ways to do things it's just hard to make up my mind how i want it exactly. Always love your content and i'd come meet you guys if i were ever close enough. I'm In TN and have been all over the south but have never been past KY going north. lol I'm a southern man for sure.

[@markgalicic7788]

thank you , if you get near Pittsburgh PA look us up!

this was 85-3/4 dec

[@billwendt4309]

Looks fantastic! I hope you'll epoxy the bottom side so this top doesn't warp from humidity changes.

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Bill , I did seal the bottom.

[@_Boregard_Rippy_]

..... American Sycamore ...!

[@markgalicic7788]

yes sir!

[@michaelburroughs7494]

You need talent to do something like this, but the right power tools are really helpful.

[@markgalicic7788]

yes that is true.

[@geraldstokes5661]

Spalted ,caused by fungus, u should wear breathing protection, safety first ,always....

[@Lawrence1203-f7s]

It's a shame your planer came out of a high school. I hope it wasn't a shop class and if so I hope the district replaced it with a new one. I taught shop classes for many years, along with many academic classes, and unfortunately the idiots at my district in San Diego closed down the shop programs SAD

[@markgalicic7788]

this was back in 2004 , not sure why they sold them.

[@user-gd3fo4kt1l]

SWEET!!

[@markgalicic7788]

thank you.

[@keithmclennan3275]

beautiful top

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Keith.

[@williamellis8993]

Great build and great video, mark. Did Alex ever suspect that was for him? For spreading glue, I keep a bunch of old credit cards/gift cards/etc. to use as squeegees then toss. Bill

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Bill , Alex will be surprised.

[@ryanhagler9410]

Total boat is the best epoxy I’ve used

[@markgalicic7788]

I think they all are pretty good today.
