I love how you're EXPLAINING what you're doing and what you're using! This really helps me with my research for my DIY epoxy coffee table!

[@mohamedcali2666]

After watching the video advert i was still skeptical. But when i finally downloaded the plans kzbin.infoUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG i was very impressed. The whole plan was just as you said in the video. Thank you very much. I now have a large and valuable collection for my woodworks. This is great!

[@philthethrill7767]

As a passionate aspiring artisan you have shown a level of craftsmanship to which I strive to achieve. It is motivating and greatly appreciated.

[@gregghernandez2714]

As others have mentioned you are not only a fine craftsman, but an Artist as well. I love your attention to detail. I had no idea you could pour epoxy over several pours instead of just one. Something for me to remember and give this particular brand a try. Thank you.

[@JD-be7ys]

Jonny, Very beautiful shelves. I am a huge proponent of finding scraps no one else would use and trying to come up with inventive projects as well. Keep up the great work!

[@emostorm7]

Epoxy pretty much will work for any scrap wood

That is gorgeous I love the detail when the polish or oil sets.

Cool project. If I may add a quick tip, while your guide hand/left hand is steading the rip on the blade side I always hook my thumb on the table as a guide to myself not to exceed this distance. After 45 years of carpentry I"m proud to say I still have all my fingers.

Jonny, you are both an artist and resourceful inventor. Beautiful work.

[@JonnyBuilds]

Thanks, Mike!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Great video, Jonny! They’re both just so cool! I think my tendency would have been to put the light colored epoxy with the walnut and the dark one with the hickory, but it turned out great the way you did it too.

[@JonnyBuilds]

Thanks Bruce! They would look good with the colors reversed I think.

[@daeroc]

I love walnut with black epoxy. Looks soo good.

Yes but the point is that this beautiful wood which is a resource and took years to grow won't be going into landfill. That's what I took from it.

@TechStack Reviews yeah you can always replace a table saw with mobile contractor saw which is a light weight cheaper option too im just saying his machines are pretty base line and no where near special i work in a shop with a 53 inch drum sander and a 5 head moulder i think being hyperbolic about the tools he used is silly

[@lucky5th2]

Confused why you need a jig on the table saw? Wouldn't the fence work just as well?

[@JonnyBuilds]

Bc the edge of the board referencing off the fence is not straight. It would mean your cut wouldn’t be straight.

[@lucky5th2]

@@JonnyBuilds ah, thanks

[@gac107]

@@JonnyBuilds why not just put one edge through the jointer?

[@JonnyBuilds]

Bc I can show a different method to the majority of views who don’t have a jointer.

Jonny Builds and those of us who are currently jointerless truly appreciate that Jonny! I loved the table saw sled ad am going to build one just like it. Thank you so much for helping guide us!!!

[@emilybeaulieu999]

Wow they are beautiful! How many hours did you spend and how much would you charge for a shelf?

[@c-rod1403]

Wow. That walnut. Just wow

[@ABaumstumpf]

Just a little nitpick but the epoxy reaction is always exothermic. You just do not want it to heat up too much to go into a runaway and start bubbling and fuming.

[@JonnyBuilds]

You’re correct! I should’ve clarified that, thanks for the comment and viewing.

[@L0STMYMRBLES]

Considering that that the brand of resin used was the same as the company who sponsored the video, chances are it cost him nothing.

[@themustangmama]

And Total Boat is one of the cheaper epoxies-inexpensive doesn’t mean bad-I used to use one that cost $140 per gallon-now I use some that is about $50 per gallon-and the best epoxy I’ve ever used (and I’ve used a lot!!)…

[@michaelr2442]

You make it look easy,all you need is a big space and, lots and lots of expensive tools.

[@JonnyBuilds]

Or... maybe make do with what you have and just create something. I didn’t always have these tools, but over time I’ve invested in my business. I’ve also been driving the same beat up, paid off truck for 15 years.

The shelves are gorgeous and the resin part looks simple enough, but if you don't have a shitload of really expensive tools it's a nonstarter.

Good to see a fellow okie makes some beautiful work out of some otherwise “trash”

[@vijaykumarsubramanian3442]

You can also drill a hole in the epoxy and place a LED light inside so that when it is on, the shelves would look good.

[@wtfyoumeaninvalid]

They look great. It's a shame to see them as shelves :( You rarely see anything but the edge of a shelf, so it seems like a waste.

Hello Johnny, inspired by your videos. I’m 55 years old working in the medical field, first as an orderly, then a Respiratory Therapist, and for the past 25 years in medical sales. With these extraordinary times we are facing, with Covide -19. I’m so looking forward to what I enjoy in retirement, which is wood working. I’m a newbie, don’t have the equipment, don’t have the knowledge. However back in high school I finished number one in the Province of Quebec for industrial arts, which basically is wood working and metal shop. I have the passion. Can you suggest how to start off. I have a country house near Manawaki in Northern Quebec where I hunt and fish. Basically the tools and how to set up?

[@vxt4410]

This is amazing! I've built a small table with an epoxy and resin table top which has that "river" effect much like the way your milky coloured shelf did. I was surprised to see that you didn't do anything to hold the two separate pieces together. I was not expecting the epoxy to hold them together so strong! During my build, I was way too worried that after my pour had dried, my table top would just split into two pieces. That's why I had two pieces of popsicle-stick-shaped wood holding the two live edges from underneath the table, then after the epoxy was poured you couldn't see them.

[@TJFNixon]

Great video. Thanks. Did you not trust the squareness of the table saw? As you made the frame to square off the shelves.

[@JonnyBuilds]

The wood isn’t square. If you cut wood out of square on the table saw it will translate to the fresh cut. Hence the sled.
