ABOUT THIS VIDEO
In this video we're building a live edge, epoxy, resin, slab coffee table. We've worked with slabs before, and we've worked with epoxy before...but never like this! We decided to make things extra difficult on ourselves by making the table's top circular, and more so by using a slab that most people would consider unfit for anything more than a fire pit. The top is made of Elm, and the base is made of Maple with Elm details. In the end we're very proud of how this piece came out...and we hope you'll enjoy it as well :)

How about using the rest of that slab to make a waterfall end table so you will have a full living room table set.

[@zorroinhell5549]

The contrast between the top of the table and the legs of the table is brilliant and beautiful. Excellent piece of functional art.

[@Unc_Talks]

Lets see that Jordan collection... Im sure you have an awesome display

[@adrianveidt214]

Using the rest of the slab for a D&D table complete with various table top accessories (e.g. drawers to hold (a) dice, (b) character sheets, and (c) pencils), a surface that has a scored 1 inch x 1 inch square grid (or a hex grid if preferred), and a carved in box for each player to role their dice would be both (1) unique and (2) an object that is of interest to a growing market. Just some food for thought.

It’s a lovely table. I love woodworking. At 70 I finally had the money to buy more tools than clothes. But it’s too late to get really good. My eyesight is poor. My arm strength is weak. Who cares. I watch videos like this .. live vicariously… then go out in the shop an build burnable junk. It’s fun and it makes me happy! To everyone that commented below: THANK YOU ALL so much! You have made me so happy and I feel so encouraged!! I need two barn doors for my (yard ornament) donkey and Miss Cow. I’m going to try a fancy cross hatch top half ( for air flow) out of 1.5 inch cedar strips and a conventional metal bottom but within in a frame of oak. Gentlemen!! Thank you for the hope!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Barbara. I like your attitude, but don't sell yourself short. I'm sure being 70 vs 40 is very different, but my eyesight is very bad too. My arms are strong enough, but you can always build smaller projects. All that said. as long as you're enjoying yourself and have something to look forward to...it's a win :)

There was a little cafe I always used to go to called red velvet and they had resin wood tables, and what made those tables so memorable was how they had little scenes in the resin. One was about a flower swamp with frogs, dried flowers, frog figures all encased in, and the other was a flower meadow with a bunch of cute little bees gathering stuff from dried flowers.

No one gonna talk about how a slab of wood that 90% of people would call “unusable” sold for $1100?

[@alphygaytor1477]

I was wondering about this! Is this considered very cheap for a piece of wood that size? I know it's expensive af to get slabs like this but I'm not a woodworker so I don't have a sense of value for this kinda thing.

[@Jorg05111980]

Please get this reply up, I wanted to post it myself but searched exactly for this first! Can the content creators give any insight on this? Especially once you see they hardly use anything of the slab

That piece would probably be about 7 grand if it were more usable

[@tanner8355]

@@Jorg05111980An Elm slab this size would probably typically go for $1500 to 2K. So I think $1100 is a reasonable price for it. It’s still entirely usable anyway, Chris just needed a click baity title.

I think that the three legged base was the smartest because it will always sit evenly on most every surface. Three legs will adjust to almost any surface. Whereas, four legs will possibly find one leg does not sit the same on some surface and the table will rock a little. Beautiful result !!

[@KryptLynx]

It is less stable, though. You can flop the table by pressing on edge between legs

[@powerthrashingdeath]

@@KryptLynx how many times have you seen a table that’s rocking, and how many times you flipped a table?

[@drillslinger]

@@KryptLynx That would be an unreasonable problem to worry about. If you are pressing that hard down on the edge of a three-legged table like this one, which is not that wide in the first place to even consider, then you deserve to have the thing tip over and spill everything on it. And a four legged table has the possibility of driving at least me crazy with it wobbling all the time on even a slightly un-level or un-even floor.

[@damianjones9446]

But also it doesn't matter at all on this design bc the 3 legs are connected flat at the bottom and completely disputes what you're trying to say

[@drillslinger]

@@damianjones9446 There will still be one spot on each of the three flat bottom legs that will touch. So the rule is three points define a plane. All it takes is one spot on each of the three legs and it will be stable. Simple mathematical rule.

I most definitely don't leave many comments on any videos, but I just wanted to let you know I LOVED this video so much!

[@johncarlson4463]

Enjoyed your video. Regarding the decision on the base, (3 vs 4 legs), the three legged version is actually more usable, especially if it is placed on an uneven floor. Four legs requires an even floor or it will rock.

[@marciacampey8745]

Two words come to mind in this very creative and interesting video: Redeem and Restore.

[@LindCreations]

And for people like me who like to sit on the floor at coffee tables, this also means more leg room 😊

[@buellb0y]

That particular 3 leg design will also require a perfectly flat floor.

[@JamieJamez]

Assuming that all 4 legs are even, and you are on a continuous floor, "Intermediate Function Theorem" proves that a table can be made stable on an uneven floor, by simply rotating the table around its center within 90°. kzbin.info/www/bejne/haapXop4bNJ3bM0 Technical paper on why it works: arxiv.org/pdf/math-ph/0510065v6.pdf

I gotta say, your woodworking and a voice over skills are amazing. You were loud enough so I could listen and understand what you were doing while multitasking, but not distracting. And you just in general have a very calm and soothing voice, that even when things weren't going great, it seemed like you could still find the good in it, or at least the motivation to keep going. The table came out beautifully, the top reminds me of a peaceful island in the middle of a river that is rarely explored, while the legs have a very unique design I haven't really seen before. Keep up the great work man!

[@memethief4113]

Amazing table, and I do love how the strip of epoxy is larger, the only downside of this table in my opinion is that nothing was done to the legs, leaving them bare looks out of place, so I would’ve painted or coated them to match the rest of the table

[@syedmehdi7659]

Yep I was thinking the same about the legs of the table.

[@eccentricxswan]

Yeah I agree the legs look out of place because of the colour. Overall it is a really nice table 👌 Should've matched the legs with the table though in some way.

For anyone wondering: the 2:56 "wood rot or what it was" is woodworm. I've had this in our cellar, and could poke a screwdriver literally halfway through one of the carrying beams of the hallway.

How do you know if the woodworm is all dead?

[@hexafolia6296]

@@muzzaro imo, if it wasnt dead when he removed the decaying wood the worm made, the epoxy would have absolutely cooked it

[@Coconut-ng5dh]

Really cool video and loved how the table turned out! One thing I've learned if you're using an epoxy resin finish is that you don't necessarily have to get rid of those rotted sections. If you tape off one side of the rotted material and pre-pour some resin around the area, it absorbs very well into the more pithy material and will harden it, perhaps to a greater degree than the rest of the piece depending on the type of wood. The coloration might not exactly match in the finished product, but sometimes that's a good thing!

[@alexmayer9159]

Having done a lot of resin work (though not for a table - yet), here are a few little tips: Because deep pour resin has such a long working time, it pays to sit the ready mixed bucket of resin in a bath of hot water for at least 5, preferably 10 minutes - make sure none of the water gets inside the bucket though! This gets rid of most of the bubbles and makes the end result much nicer and means less work with the blow torch. Also careful with the blow torch, if you hover over any bit of resin too long, it can burn it! As for the mold itself, if you caulk the sides, scrape it off again after, so you're left with a straight surface for your piece, but the caulk (or wax is even better) will be in the very crack you need it in. Silikone spray is the best mold release you'll find!

[@Yupppi]

Having watched a lot of guitar building, I feel like the finishing is truly my favourite. The tops are often so beautiful and the colors really pop up, they are so vibrant.

[@mender722]

VERY COOL! I was given a wonky "cookie" slab a couple years ago. There were cracks, rot, nothing parallel or on the same plain. It was a "reject" piece that had been out in the yard under a tree for who know how long. But I was given the task of making a pedestal table out of it, using a hollow log section. I had a router, a level, a drill, and a pencil. Oh yes, I had my imagination. I made a big mess, made a lot of noise, and ended up with a rather nice, but not perfect, table. It was my very first time using that resin/epoxy stuff. I had fun. I did enjoy seeing your process, even while drooling over your fancy tools.

'always buy the large' is my favourite quote from this! Love how this piece turned out and glad you chose to go with the 3 legged design! One suggestion though and a tip I picked up from other youtubers is the 'wooden band-aid' can be improved by dovetailing them so that the inserted piece sort of resembles a bow-tie. It adds extra strength and IMO looks nicer.

I was genuinely captivated throughout the entire video. This channel has won me over, and I eagerly anticipate more content in the future. Keep up the amazing work! 👍🎥🔥

[@menniah84]

I don't know how I came here but I'm glad I did!! but I think it was the satisfaction of work being done to perfection that intrigued me. The table came out beautiful.

[@MultiBigbird01]

It turned out so nice. Actually like the larger epoxy resin part as great contrast. This piece would make a cool coffee table in a larger living room space. In a smaller living room it would take too much space.

[@melissamoon5523]

Definitely a beautiful piece of furniture, no question about that. The precision in the details of the joinery and overall finish is what defines the 'quality of workmanship'.

[@davidadams007]

Best woodworking channel on KZbin IMO. Amazing design and true craftsmanship. Also, personalities and commentary hit all the right feels.

[@rickschlosser6793]

You might not have made the most beautiful table top, but you made that particular slab look as good as it could have. The best anyone could do. Nice work.

[@flavorkingpluto]

This is quite possibly my favorite video out of all of your videos. It’s real nice to see Four Eyes back. Thanks guys! Btw, good choice with the three leg option.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Wow...thanks! And glad you enjoyed it!

[@kenmccutcheon1067]

I thoroughly enjoyed watching the build. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, methodologies and challenges. I’m an amateur woodworker & that helps me appreciate the work even more.

[@nancythomas1954]

That was a wonderful journey. The table turned out beautiful and watching the journey made it more so. You two are very talented guys.

[@pklass8718]

Love you guys work, your projects are always incredibly beautiful. With the extra wood please make a library table (I think that is what it is called. A long skinny table that fits behind the couch) or an entry table… In my home both of these pieces would be the first thing you see entering from my front door.

[@scottspropertyservices6877]

For me, you hit the Goldilocks amount of detail in this video. Not too little& not too much, it was juuuust right. I still learned tips & tricks without repeating previous content. Thanks

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Scott...appreciate it. I was pretty happy with the pace. But we'll keep refining with each new one.

Here’s a fun short story. This was when I was in my senior year of high school in my advance woods class and it was around the last week until finals and graduation. And I was making a little side table we made in intro to woods just for something to do. And I grabbed the domino even though I didn’t need it because my mind wasn’t currently on. So when I realized I didn’t need it I went to put it in the storage and the cord got caught of the table corner and It slipped right out of my hands in front of the teacher. And this teacher is almost everyone’s favorite teacher if they had his class but he is known to yell at kids for being stupid and it’s pretty funny. But my heart just stopped and my mind finally returned and all he said in a calm voice was “that cost $1000 dollars” and all I said was “yup” and walked away to put it back. And thankfully it was fine and I didn’t owe anyone $1000

[@war7334]

Im not a big fan of epoxy resin tables. After watching the amount of work put in to this piece I have had a change of heart. The finished piece including the stand was impressive. Congrats on a job well done!

[@MyUnquenchableThirst]

I think this table looks really great. The epoxy part and wood part are in a very good balance

[@jasonfredricks7224]

Loved seeing that table saw jig for the angles on the table base. So simple and somehow I’ve never used that trick before. I’d love if you took a little more time to explain any jigs like that and how you’re using them. Even if it seems super basic, there might be more people out there who have years of experience doing things differently and could learn something.

[@apwells]

I would really be interested in learning from you guys how you make your woodworking videos, either as a class that I could buy, or as a live KZbin video (maybe you use that leftover piece to demonstrate). The way you guys mix media like at 8:14 with the sketches, the voiceovers is why I like watching your videos. That and the buddy cop banter.

[@molomono9481]

Love the comment regarding order of operations. I studied "robotics" and as it is a broad field we did quite a bit of mechanical engineering. Not what i decided to specialise in, but none the less my biggest takeaway is that a good machinist is a puzzlemaster and one of the main puzzles to solve is often order of operations. Feeds speeds tooling and accuracy are easy to improve in, but a master in the workshop knows how to manipulate the workflow. Gave me a bit of a nostalgic throwback. Love the video and humor btw. Really wish i had access to more workshop machinery its really inspiring to see this level of work.

[@timmcc6899]

I retired from being a furniture carpenter after a 15 year career in 2016 due to illness, and because my illness impairs the way my muscles work, I wont ever ba able to return to it. While it saddens me to know I can't do this kind of thing myself anymore, I can't help but feel nostalgic about watching you guys in action, and doing a fantastic job of it too. That is a beautiful piece of furniture, very well done. By the way ... At that part when you mention people questioning the use of templates ... I'm right on board with you on that one. Not only does it make manipulating the shape far easier, it also makes it more consistant when you're required to do multiples of the same shape.

[@cchavezjr7]

As someone with a sawmill I can definitely say pieces like that go much faster than something straight and clear.

[@gungasam3000]

Another beautiful build! I'm working on a hexagonal coffee table for myself, and I knew I wanted 3 legs with the angle you used, joined together in the center with #3x3Custom - Tamar inspired 3 way half lap, but I was unsure what to do for the top until I saw this. Thanks for the further inspiration!

[@richmondnazman]

You guys just made my day... this is so far the best furniture making process I have ever encountered in KZbin. Keep it up boys... U da Man....

[@dumbbiiihh1204]

just discovered your channel and i appreciate how much work and effort you put into it! it’s not at all like these tiktok quick diys. ur builds look so regal and modern at the same time 🤤❤️

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thank you so much!!

[@fpownxu63910]

If you ever encounter punky wood again in a project, you don't have to chisel -- Abatron makes a specialized epoxy that penetrates and hardens up rotten cellulose. Works like a charm (it has been used to preserve structural logs in a historic log cabin).

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Appreciate that...I'll check that out. We actually tested this out a bit on some off cuts and the same epoxy we used made the punky wood usable from a functional perspective. But it doesn't look very good. So I'd probably remove it again. Ben Uyeda recomended to try sand blasting, finding a balance that is harsh enough to remove the bad wood, but leave the good wood. Sounds kinda fun, so I'd like to try it :)

[@delvinabelzil7647]

That table turned out beautifully, it reminds me of mid century furniture and no two pieces should look alike. Good job guys.

[@mikehowie8148]

Thank you a fantastic video. Just retired, built my workshop and about to buy a small domino jig. Actually your comments helped me decide! Thank you. Ps I ran a media company before retiring and love your style of delivery - hot chocolate in front of a roaring fire 👍

[@asteroidgoatstudios291]

I love how calm and relaxed his voice is while narrating

[@anneoreilly4900]

Beautiful table. Absolutely love the organic shape. Found myself wanting slightly darker legs - the three legs are a home run.

[@Fonggren]

I got here by accident and ended up watching the entire video, and then subscribing to the channel. The filming is fantastic, the furniture is beautiful, but even better is the self-deprecating commentary. Can't wait to check out more of these!

[@adamsteinwender4498]

for future projects, you may be able to make a makeshift vacuum chamber with plexiglass and tubing for support, with a simple air pump to apply the vacuum, this would allow dryrotted wood to essentially be stabilized and you wouldnt have to remove as much material, the epoxy would be drawn in when the vacuum is removed and would strengthen the material would have an upfront cost but you can reuse it on any material with weak sections of wood, and being build of plexiglass you can adjust the size or shape as needed might be worth looking into if you are interested, once its stabilized you dont have to worry about it rotting or anything as the epoxy supplies the strength at that point

[@aetherfloats]

Honestly, I'm not quite sure how I ended up on this video...? But I'm not complaining in the least. This was beautiful, and the process was mesmerizing. Thank you for sharing what you do! I often watch woodturning, epoxy resin videos, and also restoration videos, so I think it's probably natural progression to end up on furniture making! This video was from July, but I think I'll go watch some newer videos too... and will probably wind up subscribing.

[@KelvinYong77]

It's looking great, and the tri-legs with bridges is perfect. Love the big epoxy gap too!

[@lurklingX]

personally, i love how it came out and actively like the width of the epoxy parts. plus, there is value in uniqueness, in a time when so much is cookie cutter stuff and all the same.

[@ethan4661]

Well, this is the first time a woodworking video has made me tear up haha Amazing work man, you’re an inspiration ❤

[@richmanarg]

90 bucks for good furniture?! this channel is SOO UNDERRATED!!!

[@LWilliamsYoutube]

Great choice on the 3-legged base. Very aesthetic final product. Many of your final designs have a 1950/1960-modern vibe to them, which I like. The top worked out wonderfully. The only choice I'm not fond of is keeping the legs so white. I find it draws too much attention from the top. Of course, this is a purely personal design choice. Loved watching the build.

[@laszloujvari2938]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Is it the most beautiful table in the world? That may be debated. But without a doubt, it definitely is a very beautiful table with attention to detail in its execution. Well done guys. Keep up the good work. Thanks for the vid.

[@debrabutlerlynch2259]

Table is stunning. The coffee table of my mid-century modern minimalist dreams. I can imagine a large orange tabby sprawled across it on Christmas morning. Also, sausage is usually better than pepperoni. Thanks for sharing!

[@diannmcdonald4949]

Absolutely positively perfect! What a beautiful table from a piece of cracked wood. Well done guys! 😊🇨🇦

[@rgrbrn]

Great job! As always. It would be very interesting to understand, although I know it's difficult to quantify precisely, what the final cost was for a table like this in terms of materials used. Obviously, such work is not suitable for a hobbyist, not only because of the materials but also due to the equipment used. I really liked the triangular junction solution for the legs, and I also really liked the Y-shaped legs.

[@tootsie111000]

Gorgeous ,and unique ,no one will ever make another 1 that looks like this.

[@klausalan]

Amazing outcome. Great technique and style. Would love to build something this. You guys are killing it on this channel.
