Every time John says “keller” (“color” in Pittsbrughese), it hits me right in the Yinzer feels. Signed, a native Pittsburgher currently living in exile in the Midwest.

[@timthompson7205]

Don’t worry man. As far as Americans are concerned the entire east is the Midwest. By American logic Pittsburgh is in the Midwest. It’s as Far East as you can go so it’s clearly west. Ask an American , Europe is a part of the western world. They probably say that because it’s on the eastern hemisphere.

[@farmgrowncountrystrong]

In the Midwest we have our language lol

[@Icantball67]

That router sled on wheels is genius! Simple but genius 🤣

[@sh3pski246]

I’ll be honest, I think we have different definitions of ‘basic tools’. Awesome build regardless. Edit: To be clear, I wasn’t meaning anything against the lads. I was mainly thinking of the welding shenanigans when I made this comment. But really I’m just mad that I don’t have a sweet as shop to build stuff in.

[@John_Malecki]

Jigsaw , router , sander ?! That’s Not basic ? haha

[@Syberz]

He said "basic tools", not "basic materials". Hence the 4000$ slab and the 500$ of epoxy 😂

[@grasby101]

Thinking around the same lines with the welders and power sanders

[@russwilliams4777]

Yeah, I consider a CNC to be "basic tools" 🤣

[@timort2260]

Yeah agree a welder isn't basic. Or the pos flattening jig.

[@guybowers9094]

That is one if the best projects you guys have turned out. Also, I like that the boys are doing more on their own without the boss as it seems like more work is getting done that way 😀

[@richardsandson]

The flattening jig is a beauty....

[@Abm2014-SausageKing]

Of all the projects I've watched you guys build, I would say this by far has been my favorite. I love the backstory of the slab, and think that it is beautiful the way the epoxy and slab work together. Great job guys!

Jordan* you're wrong about cool blue Gatorade. Sam knows what's up with the glacier freeze

[@augustineschaefer5522]

Holy mamma pajama we have all those tools except the welder and double sided tape in the garage. Thanks for the old school project. Yeah I can. One skill step at a time.

[@davidharnett5640]

Really love watching your videos, you are an inspiration to all of us dummies who proceed like a bull at a gate. Love your work, Dave 🇦🇺

[@russwilliams4777]

That's a gorgeous build... impressed with the slab, too. I guess with all the rot it'd normally be thrown away, but burning it out, cleaning it up and filling the voids with epoxy produces a fantastic result 😻

[@adamwhittingham90]

This is probably my favourite project of yours. Great work! I also own everything required to build it apart from the $4000 slab. As soon as I find one lying around in my shop I'll be having a go!

[@John_Malecki]

Boom! Hells ya Adam!

[@mikevanarelli8764]

Hey was wondering what the rack system in a previous video was on the black F250? I have the same exact truck and was thinking I may need that lol

nice piece of work. thank you.

[@SchysCraftCo.]

John an the guys awesome job. Turned out very unique and very cool. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Hopefully the future owners get great use out of it for many years to come. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Keep making. Stay squirrely. God bless.

[@fdort3971]

Turned out great...definitely learning from y'all so I can do it for a job

[@carsonbigford9012]

That looks great.

[@vampirejesus8170]

The table looks really good. One of these days I am going to jump into doing epoxy tables. But first I think I will start out with epoxy coasters. Much cheaper if I screw up, which I am prone to do. Excellent work guys. Hope for your continued success. Always fun to watch.

[@Als799]

Love the table, I wonder how it would look with a Led light center mounted on the backside of that table.

[@SICresinwrks]

That slab was perfect for this, it ended up looking even better then I was expecting.

[@TheWoodFly]

Pretty nice little table guys. Good job keeping it simple.

Beautiful, guys! Fantastic work! 😃 Stay safe there with your families! 🖖😊

[@jfromdedbydezine2409]

"He's got the whole world as his table" .. Seriously though a little less wood and a little more blue and it would look like earth. Outstanding project as always gentlemen.

[@Rockhopper1]

fold up wooden curing oven might be a cool (excuse the pun) to build, if mounted to the wall with wings and a lid you can store it away, it can have heat lamps installed. So when you next do a pour and build you can do it in a prebuilt level floor with a humungous drip tray underneath. If you are clever the floor could be a weight table so you know how much you have poured. Needs a built in CO2 extinguisher, Idea for a new build ?

[@marian20012]

very nice guys, I like to watch you making projects, especially John, he is super role model for kids. glad to see you are keeping with traditions and are skilled and smart.

Love the content! Is there a finish that you have used for furniture that is going to be predominantly outdoors? And I know epoxy will yellow over time, but will it show if the epoxy is tinted?

[@hurcorh]

Use the other part of your cardboard template that has the circle cut out of it you can lay that on your slab and right away see the round section you’re trying to pick out.

[@RCashTRO30]

so i build custom concrete counter tops. Mostly really high end stuff. We do counter tops, tables, sinks, i mean mostly anything. Something we did in our shop is build these tables that are made out of MDF and epoxy. So its a full sheet of 4x8 MDF and we put some Strips of plywood about 1 inch wide along all the edges. Then we poured some epoxy onto the table basically cause a 1 inch thick layer of epoxy over the table. Before doing that we used a laser level to create a grid on the table with 4inch by 4 inch squared boxes. Once the epoxy was dry we sanded the tables down using a 200 grit up to about 1000. When ever we are making a counter or any custom mold really we just use Melamine to create the form. if its a 3-inch-thick table then we cut 3 inch thick strips and hot glue them right to the table top. Ofcourse we coat the inside of the form with a polish so that it does not stick.
