This is The Most Incredible Table Design Yet

In this video, I show you how I made the ultimate coffee table from a white oak cookie, a sewing machine base, lava resin, and dimples. It was one of the most challenging and rewarding projects I have ever done, and I want to share with you the whole process, from start to finish.
You will see how I got a 33" white oak cookie when it crushed a car in town, and how I cleaned it, sanded it, and filled the cracks with red lava resin. You will also see how I stumbled upon a vintage sewing machine base on the street, and how I restored it and attached it to the wood slab. And you will see how I added some dimples to the resin to create a unique texture and look.
But it was not all smooth sailing. I faced many issues along the way, such as resin leaks, bubbles, cracks, and equipment problems. I had to improvise, experiment, and learn from my mistakes. I also had to use various tools and techniques, such as a router, a blowtorch, a CNC, a chisel, and epoxy.
I hope you enjoy watching this video as much as I enjoyed making it. If you do, please give it a thumbs up, leave a comment, and subscribe to my channel for more DIY projects. And if you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to let me know. Thanks for watching!

Step 1: remove goat from shop; step 2: remove second goat from shop; step 3: repeat steps 1 & 2 as needed 😂😂

[@MoonpieCreations]

😂😂😂 Now I have four and those two pigs from the beginning.

[@thesingingwoodturner2614]

I like it a lot. The dimples in the top match the pedal on the base. Making furniture is always way more challenging than you expect it to be.

[@MoonpieCreations]

I didn't even notice the dimples and pedal. Thanks!

[@TotalBoat]

All that work definitely paid off - it is absolutely beautiful! The base was the perfect touch too!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you so much!

[@cathee_with_2_ees569]

I love your comment about those individuals who feel it necessary to leave comments about what you're doing wrong. Actually, I like those of you who post your entire video without edits, wrong or right, especially when it comes to resin. Anyone who works with resin knows that 7 out of every 10 projects has something go wrong. It's not about the "wrongs" it's about what you do with it in the end to make it come out "right". Thanks! And your project is awesome!

[@MoonpieCreations]

I have found resin is very unforgiving. lol I think a lot of people have the idea it is easy to work with. I blame it mostly on creators on KZbin not going over their mistakes. Thanks for watching.

[@jasoncarpenter4116]

That coffee table looks incredible. A sand blaster is convenient to have, but even with the nicer models you will get fine abrasive dust everywhere!

My buddy has a cheap one, but I thought the wire wheel was faster and a lot easier too. Thanks

After warching this I'm not sure what was harder: building the table or getting the goats out of the shop. Really impressive table for sure. I know in several projects I've done I figured out better ways of doing things after I finish.

[@MoonpieCreations]

The goats are a pain, but they were only out of the pen because I was redoing the fence that day. Clark is like Houdini though. No matter what I do he gets out of the pen. lol

[@mjcremasco]

great work! Hearing your struggles with removing the corrugated plastic - try a coating of sheathing tape - in my experience nothing wants to really stick to that, comes out real easy. props to you for having the guts to do videos and show some of the challenges you faced!

[@MoonpieCreations]

That's a great idea! Thanks

[@mdaley3102]

WOW, that was a lot of work but it came out great. The sewing machine stand is a nice touch. I’ve been thinking about doing one of these and building a router sled since I don’t have a CNC. Which me luck

Router sleds work great and are much easier to use and cheaper. lol Good luck with your project.

I think it worked out great, Ken. Really love the outcome of this piece💜. And btw, goat goes great with Christmas🤪

Hahahahah mmmmmm goat.

[@ToddSparksEdTech]

Nice project, lots of work. Have you tried using mold release on the corrugated plastic before attaching it to the project and pouring the resin? It should come right off.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Hey Todd, I do use mold release. It is really weird and a pain in the butt. lol

[@tomclevenger5668]

The larger round over was the right choice. I find when I start hurting myself when doing a project, I need to stop and walk away for few., because I am either frustrated or tired or both. And when I am that way I do dumb thing. Also breaking tools really sucks. Like the table.

[@MoonpieCreations]

It's always a good choice to walk away and let it sit a while.

[@brucewatt2864]

I really enjoyed the video. The finished table looks awesome. Great choice on the base. It came out looking good. I think i am pretty much like you and if i haven't bled on a project then i haven't put my heart into it. I'm getting closer to retirement which means more time to put into projects. I enjoy watching your clips and don't mind at all the occasional brain fart when you get the words or quantities wrong. Means you are human. If people have to pick up and correct you on those mistakes, then their opinion doesn't matter. Keep up what you are doping buddy. Warts and all. Cheers Bruce

Very nice! Sometimes things just go wrong and you have to keep at it until you get it right. Well done. Does your mini split drain directly outside? Probably just a clog in the drain line. A quick suction with the vac will clear it out. Had a similar issue and it was an easy fix. 😊

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks, it was a clog. Only took me two months to get my wet vac out there to fix it. lol

[@normagene514]

@@MoonpieCreations Get’n the mini split professionally cleaned once a yr or every other yr is extremely important too. You won’t believe how much disgusting growth/germs/mold builds up. So every time it’s on you are breathing 😮‍💨 it in.

[@claytonbink1647]

Really nice video, Ken! The table is epic! I would have used my Kutzall grinding disks to remove the plastic mold pieces, lickety split! :) I thoroughly understand what you are saying about editing. It is interesting to me that you do it daily but it's probably way more efficient than slogging through it all at once, like I do :P

[@MoonpieCreations]

Yes, a clog it was. Although I turned it off and let it sit for two months. lol It's working now.

[@BeastOfSoda]

Hello Ken, great work. Just curious, though: is there a reason you opted not to use the CNC to make the dimples? It would probably have been less stressful.

[@MoonpieCreations]

I tried a few test cuts for the dimples and I just couldn't get it to work well. My skills on the CNC aren't great and designing cuts even worse. lol I have a plan for another cookie and the CNC. I'm hoping I can find the time to try it and maybe I can even pull it off.

[@kayleysaunders4589]

The corrugated cardboard that you used has a plastic coating on it doesn’t it 10:52 ??? If you used regular paper-like cardboard, would it soak up the resin and leak through(just asking because i am curious as a fellow crafter and product creator; not trying to judge or demean in any way)???

[@MoonpieCreations]

It does have a plastic coating. You can use regular cardboard but you have to put some sort of film on it such as Tyvek tape.
