Using Fake Wood and Crayons to Make a River Table?🤔

[@phillipchristy7792]

Yes you paid 10.00 for the table but you made it into a 200.00 table. I have been a woodworker/furniture builder for 40 plus and I think you did a great job. When I get beveled edges like you had I will take bondo and create a stone edge all the way around it. You can either paint the bondo or do the exotic pour over it and then dap the epoxy onto the bondo with a paint brush to fill in the voids. Good job 👍

[@DuncanCustomAirbrush]

Ah great advice and always enjoy seeing your comments Phillip!

[@kyleperon4824]

I mean this in the best way. You sound so much like a man I admired....Bob Ross! Just a soft tone voice and a calm demeanor. It's quite refreshing.

[@akuamcclure4456]

The spots you see on the blue is the epoxy separating from the wax. Epoxy won't permanently adhear to wax. I would have loved this the way it was with the crayons in chunks and it encapsulated in clear epoxy!! The faux woodgrain was ON POINT! You are always so wonderfully detailed which is my favorite part about watching you!!

[@ladyg.oflitcreation]

The multiple "Woops" while continuing to do what caused the woops along with the "Dip" song were the highlights for, me love your attitude, personality and work!!!

Thank you!

i am thoroughly impressed with that woodgraining tool. AWESOME!! The crayons were looking cool but you made the right choice. Good job!

[@DuncanCustomAirbrush]

Right on!

"In my mind it works!" 😅 You really need to make some merch with that saying on it. 👍😉

Dude! Awesome work. I really liked the crayon look but doing the blue on the other side was beautiful. I’m tryk to make some space so I can start making some small tables like that.

[@pattibleau622]

[@Marcomowi]

I really like the table as well as many of your other works!! 😊 I really liked the dishwashing liquid technique and painted a 1:18 model car like this... 🤩🙏🏻Thank you for this technique and for lots of good and useful tips!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Just keep doing it! 😊 Many greetings from Germany, Marco 👋🏻

Outstanding river table! I am very impressed. I didn't think the swirls would stay but they did! Love it!!

I must say, good job bro, keep it up, I didn't know you had it in you....2 thumbs up. VINCE

The crayon idea was a cool idea, and must have taken forever to peel and cut them all up! Awesome job! Love the final result

The light part of the wood is the sapwood. The darker stuff is the heartwood. The little core part in the center of the tree is the pith.

Thank you!

[@Cannibal.]

now you have a shiny world class tabletop to install onto a rough matte brown base lol. a little more elbow grease (or kitchen grease) whichever one you have on hand. add a glossy finish to your legs (the table legs of course) and you have a comfy 90's style computer desk.

[@DuncanCustomAirbrush]

I was going to paint it, but I was gassed by then, lol. Plus I needed to get this video finished up and posted so I may finish it up at a later date

[@Cannibal.]

@@DuncanCustomAirbrush I would love to see this. you expand your boundaries every time you try something new. you have enough knowledge in woodworking. you can make the base look just as special.

[@Cannibal.]

@@DuncanCustomAirbrush I kind of liked the shimmer of the flakes. also i think I can narrow it down to the waxy adhesive they use to keep the crayon sleeves attached. unfortunately shaving every piece is not realistic with so many crayons. take the sleeve off and try to slide the crayon on its broadside. it's a very thin layer but it's there 🙃. not that I play with crayons a lot lol

[@traceygamwell8792]

Duncan. You done yourself mighty proud hun. Love it !! xx

[@kristinewithak8265]

Well, just wow! I've done some crayon art and when I use smaller pieces, my heat gun blows them to places I don't want them. So there's that. I think it looked darn cool. But then you LEVELED that table way UP! You're so talented. And I love RK3 Designs. I don't have it in me to do a project like this, but I love watching others do it. And for the record, I watched the Christmas video too 😁

Am I immediately shopping online for resin so I can do this too? Absolutely. Do I also have no experience in wood working or even any crafting for that matter? Also absolutely. 😂 Great vid! Loved the crayons but also loved the finish product!

[@Shakeesmooth]

[@abruptlyblunt]

so what were the dimensions of the table top and how much epoxy did it take to complete it and what is the name of that tool you used to make the wood grain look on the fake wood?

[@DuncanCustomAirbrush]

look up woodgraining tool on Amazon

[@DanielDan-rg9zw]

You could say, business in the front, party in the bac... under the table?

[@StaceNyourFace]

Is that similar to liquor in the front and poker in the rear?? 😅

[@DarthMohammedRules]

I'd like to see you take one more stab at this sorta thing with the crayons. You almost had it, and it would've been killer. Could melting the crayons seperately, then pouring them in be an option? Maybe try it again, but not a "river table." Like, maybe something more geometric, without the wood grain look on the edge pieces. But whatever, you were on the right track with those crayons, just one more try might bring something together.

[@DuncanCustomAirbrush]

Thanks so much for the encouragement!

[@mattthebutcher5273]

Dude, that came out freakin awesome! One question tho. What’s the purpose of the crayons?

[@DuncanCustomAirbrush]

Well, I wanted the crayons to be the middle, but when those spots got worse each time I epoxied (I think it might have been moisture in the crayons - i dunno), I decided to just go with the exotic pour

[@Maevic-fg3fm]

Omgosh. So hilarious.

[@Trap..house.]

How much did you end up spending on materials for everything?

[@DuncanCustomAirbrush]

I already had everything. Only thing I bought for it was the $10 table and the $18 jigsaw, and like $5 for the pack of blades. Also, aside from the crayons I already had I bought 12 more boxes at .50 cent each (but only used a few boxes)

[@kimberlywebb2257]

Awesome Job!! Too bad you can't make a double sided table.... flip the top to which ever mood you are in! Love the mica side though

You should auction off your art!

[@gutomouville]

Great job! But I do not understand why have the trouble to melt all those crayons just to cover them up 😅

[@Cannibal.]

it's all part of the artistic process lol. and if you have an idea, do it before you talk yourself out of it. some of those ideas will happen at the same time and boom you end up with a reversable tabletop. also i think the idea was that you would be able to see the rainbow through the top layer. but it still looks great.

@DuncanCustomAirbrush I appreciate you my friend! Makes total sense and it is part of the process like our friend @Cannibal here pointed out 😅 I guess it was ignorant of me to question it, obviously you wanted the crayons to work and I hope you manage to do it someday! Maybe applying super thin layers? I don't know, but I enjoy watching you make stuff, thanks!

[@kurtkuechenberg1684]

Use a food blender to chop the crayons...or a cheese grater.

Get some C clamps so your project doesn't move all over the tailgate, lol.

I just saw a vid from your channel for the first time. I'm currently watching the 3rd in a row so in my opinion you're doing a bunch right because, like you, I'm easily distracted unless something grabs my attention. You know as well as me, we aren't really making the decisions on what's interesting. Maybe you don't. Doesn't matter. I came to the comment section. To compliment you on your videos. (I just realized there's no checkmark on my keyboard WTF?!) So.... CHECK. And B is a question. Are you related to a youtuber/penetration tester that goes by "Deviant Ollom"? If I had to guess, I'm thinking you could be his younger brother or cousin. There are other similarities aside from appearance that helped motivate me to ask. If there's no relation, go check out his videos and tell me if I'm way off if you don't see any resemblance. I'm curious to see your reaction. I'm going to subscribe (which I rarely do) because I've recently been getting the urge to paint stuff again. In having fun but I want more skyllz. Anyway, good sh!t, brother! -HoboFoshitsho
