    I need motivation. Built a work table two years ago. Solid, simple build and had the idea of adding drawers to it. Bought the sheet of plywood (birch) and it's still leaning against the wall... waiting to be a drawer some day.

    Your table is absolutely stunning! I'm truly grateful you shared it with us. I wholeheartedly agree that in creative projects like these, terms like "overkill" or "overthinking" don't really apply. After all, the choice of materials, especially something as specific as Epoxy, can greatly influence both the cost and the final result. Considering all these factors, you've done a remarkable job! 😊 I'm also a big fan of Cam and Blacktail Studios too! His work is really inspiring. P.S. Thank you for your service! 💪🏼
