I made these STUNNING kitchen counter tops (TWICE)

- Опубліковано 8 бер 2024
- SO it turned out I mixed the epoxy resin to the wrong ratio on the first attempt. I do prefer the look of the second attempt though. It would have been a nightmare to try to remove all the bad resin and would have had to ruin the burned wood effect so had to start from scrath unfortunately.
Still workign on the rest of the kitchen but hopefully wont be another 2 months before the next video :)

Incredible and the patience of a saint. After the first cock up I would have got Wickes in and gone down the pub.🤣
We dont hear the 60 hours of screaming and cursing the resin gods that was cut
@Malphazar That's why I don't film the restoration of my 105 series Alfa, most of the footage would be me cursing, the engineers, the previous owner, myself, a crappy tool. For hours.😂😊
@@Malphazar kids, cover your ears for a short while...
Amazing work as usual. Your planning and execution are impeccable, but great pity about the resin fail on the first version. But credit to you for persisting and winning, and having the honesty and guts to share your fail as well as your success. All credit to you.
I love when people include their mistakes… makes the video 100x more interesting
How encouraging to see that such a fine craftsman can publicly admit a mistake and then overcome it and produce such a great result. This is inspiring for us ordinary amateur woodworkers. Thank you so much
I was taught years ago that the hallmark of true craftsman is not that he never makes mistakes, but rather that he can deal with and correct the mistakes that he inevitably makes.
Show me someone who never made a mistake and I'll show you a liar.
@@TheDoosh79 I found a great quote on the back of a box of matches when I was a kid: "The man who can't make a mistake can't do anything".
@@harveychuckles3780But even doing anything can be a mistake ;)
It takes a brave man to fess up to a huge mistake like that. However, out of the ashes came a thing of beauty. Extraordinary work.
I was wondering why the gap was so long between videos and now i wonder no more... NYW never takes prisoners, but in this case the prisoners were, shot, lined up again, shot once more, then fed into a meat grinder and rendered into a fine paste, which is presumably what he used as polishing compound... Holy crap.
Absolutely. It would have been really easy to just show the version that worked, but I loved seeing the process of the first attempt and how different the final worktops are.
My morning just got a lot better...
I couldn’t agree more! This is absolutely stunning! Well done!!!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Nice work ❤ looks great
Glad you clarified the difference between 2x4 and 4x2. Cheers.
🤣🤣🤣 I'm with you. Don't get him started on Aluminium
I have been in the building trade for 15 years and never knew!
😂
Yet no mention of left handed chisels.
Honestly I'm glad the first attempt failed because that second attempt just looks so much better.
Nice work pal.
I like that herringbone pattern but this looks socmuch better.
@@vonHannersdorfme too
Couldn't agree more. Second is definitely the nicer of the two.
Veneer looks amazing, think I prefer it too ❤
Me too.
Incredible as always. My heart broke for you when I saw the first attempt wasn’t going to make it. Do you have a second channel where you are uploading the 30 min video of you pacing and cursing? Seriously, I am blown away by your craftsmanship, patience, and creativity.
I just imagined him,once the camera stopped rolling, getting a huge lump hammer,& knocking the B'Jesus out of the worktops...! 😅 I'd have paid good money to see that ..! 😂
Mostly the patience.
OK, sure, the crativity too, but the patience. Ermagerd the patience.
Both efforts were gorgeous. I cannot imagine the disappointment & frustration over the first's problems. Thanks for sharing this journey with us all, Russ. You are fun to watch and your skills & talents leave me gobsmacked.
The first one having to be tossed was heartbreaking but that second one is so beautiful it was honestly a blessing in disguise
Indeed. I thought it was fantastic. The comment about the diamond pattern "not working" or something because of the figured wood grain? Naah. It worked beautifully, and several orders of magintude better than anything I could have dreamed up.
Your house is going to look like a master woodworker lives there.
Thats because a master woodworker do live there.
Oooh, nice shot with the scrap wood and the ominous wood burner. Subtle terror is the best terror :-)
You are a rare individual. I'm always impressed with your patience and determination with these projects. You genuinely seem to be a "Jack of all trades"!
Master of all trades, imo
I admire your perseverance and your strive for perfection. Anyone can make a mistake, it's how you deal with it that matters most. The second attempt does look fantastic.
1:09:04 lmao
I truly admire your patience and levelheadedness in the face of trouble
I had very important things to do this morning. I think I'll save them for later!😏
I was planning on being busy too, but ya got to get your priorities right. Coffee - check, fags - check, 2 hours blocked out - check… press play button! 👍😁
Definitely one of your most interesting videos. I wish I had half of your patience, and a quarter of your skills. The eucalyptus veneer actually looks amazing, so perhaps it was worth having to do it twice.
I just love watching your work. Amazing stuff. And thanks for not adding music or pointless commentary to your videos.
40:00 I really wished it had work the way you wanted it to. I admire your perseverance!
That first table was going to be gorgeous! Such a shame! I would've been so angry!!! You nailed it with both designs. Unbelievable work as usual. You are the most talented and skilled wood working artist i've seen on youtube. Can't wait for your videos to come out! God bless!
I would have completely fallen apart, but that's why you're the genius you are.
Once again .. enthralling. !!!
Thank you
Absolute craftsmanship at all levels illustrating so many techniques to construct bespoke kitchen countertops. Detailing all construction aspects of the initial intended herringbone design and the issues resulting from the resin pour was inspirational in itself. The veneered version too was highly informative and again demonstrated your attention to detail in the pursuit of joinery perfection. Wonderful creative content as per usual - such a joy to watch and admire!!
Wow wow…. Welcome back….. the tops are magnificent…. More please ⚒️🔨🔥👍
Your craftsmenship and patience are unsurpassed, phenomenal. Love the second go more then the first. I watched this as I was fuming over a very simple project that is going sideways......great timing.
2 Epoxy flood coat tricks I learned. First is that some heat guns shoot FOD/particles into the epoxy, so I only use propane torches to pop the bubbles. Second is spraying the surface with ultra-pure (non-contaminated) acetone , which thins the epoxy without using heat, allowing the bubble walls to pop.
Either way, I'm decades behind your skills, and I love your work. I learn a lot with every video, and my vision also widens. Thank you for sharing your epic works!
stunning. absolutely stunning. so sorry the first version didn't work out. it was fantastic. but as we say in this business: shite happens. brilliant job, mate.
Good to see you back, sir.
As a Lancastrian, it takes a lot to say that.
MAN! am i glad to see you back and making videos! One of the most talented people on You Tube for sure! EXCELLENT!
The first attempt looked fantastic, the second is awesome, I don't know how you keep your cool, it's not only the designing, it is so much time that goes into creating it, plus the cost. I thought that you would have taken the first worktops back to your workshop and put them on the CNC and machined them back to the wood. You have the patience of a saint.
I was so sorry that your first attempt failed. I loved the idea of the recycled pallets. Your end result was excellent as always. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the kitchen build. Thanks for sharing. Cheers. Jim
When I keep trying to switch to full-screen on a video that is already full-screen, you know you've got my attention.
46:35 I understood the Groundhog Day movie reference in the captions 😂
The second one looks lovely but my heart aches over the loss of wood on the first one. But that's how I work. I know what it's like to mess up on a project and having to start again as I sew for a hobby, which is why I always make a toile now so I don't spoil my good fabric (which is not cheap). Can't wait to see the finished kitchen (and I'm sure Mrs NYW can't wait either). Great video as always.
Brilliant. First time I have watched your channel, but not the last. Subscribed......
I was going to go out and get an early start building a fence this morning, but my priorities have changed seeing this video notification pop up! I've recently been rewatching a lot of your videos whilst eagerly anticipating the next one. Made some coffee and toast and I'm ready to watch!
It is cool if a man know his priorities. 👌🏻😂
Was already waiting for a new video. Thanks and keep up the good work!
I make strip built wooden kayaks with resin/fiberglass overlay. One of the ways I prevent bubbles is to make sure the shop is very warm when I lay the first coat, and then let the temperature fall. This prevents the off gassing of bubbles. Beautiful piece.
Patience of a saint, I’d have been down Howden’s 😁
The episodes of Dexter had me in stitches..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
WOW WOW WOW Love the veneer so much more then the original idea.
May have been mentioned already or you may know of a US woodworker who specialises in resin poured tables, Blacktail Studios, he’s on UA-cam. Last one I watched he put the resin itself in a vacuum which remove most of the bubbles before using it.
First time viewer here. I totally understand the CC only instead of any vocals, as my own language during trials and tribulations like this is quite unsuitable for the weak of heart or fragile ears. Your perseverance is beyond admirable and gives credence to the adage of "That was not a mistake, it was a design change.".
Like many others, I find builds such as this sparks ideas of my own and provokes me to continue in my own quest for the illusive title of "Creative Genius". Or at least something beyond the realms of "Inspired Mediocrity".
You have a new subscriber.
Well thanks for raising the bar just once again
Honestly, you have the patience of a saint. Chapeau.
Well it's nice to know that even the ultra-talented mad scientist of carpentry and home improvement can sometimes eff up. That was exhausting to watch! I always say that everyone should keep a few slabs of smoked eucalyptus veneer on the shelf for just such occastions. Final product is still beautiful.
I am so disappointed that the burnt pine didn’t work out. Maybe it can be saved for another project. It was beautiful. I am just not crazy about veneer but it looks nice the way you did it.
Thank you, the epoxy mistake is exactly the type of mistake I would make. Thanks for showing it and your patience in accepting it and moving on. Like someone else said, I think I would have gone looking for a pub. Your patience and the beauty of the finished top is the sign of a true craftsman.
Hello, I love how you two toned the furniture I love the stain colors too and the wheels pulled it all together it looks so amazing. thank you for sharing it ...I just love your work...
Great work, Russ.
Your videos are a rare but welcome treat, sir!
The finished product is beautiful. Did you cry when you realized your mistake and knew you had to do it all over again? I would have cried. I would have sat down in the middle of the workshop and cried.
Kudos for the great craftsmanship and honest reveal when things go awry. Watching you work so patiently is more relaxing than a fine wine!
I can tell y’all right now….that final wet sand and buffing it out with the compound…..that is how you finish the top coat on a car!! NICE JOB!!! Really loved watching the process, totally appreciate that you showed how imperfect things in life can be and WOW!!! Beautiful work!!!!
Just love your workmanship, and patience. Did a similar thing to a kitchen door we I was doing our first old house up in the 60's in Higherford. Old school car painting, heaps of lacquer then Wet n Dry it back and the polish. Finished up looking like glass, but quite impractical in the kitchen as it showed up every single mark. cheers from NZ
I’m in awe of your patience and workmanship. And I bloody envy your wife lol. I encourage others to watch your videos. Love your work.
That explains things nicely, I was wondering what you were building as there had been no film for a wee while. Very good of you to bother with camera set up so we can follow along on your epic woodworking adventures, resin can be trick stuff. Thank you Mr Yorkshire Workshop!
Bonjour Monsieur, vos réalisations sont tout simplement magnifiques! Je vous suis depuis un certain temps, à chaque fois je suis ...émerveillé!
Beautiful as always, and you have way more patience than I do. Liked your quote at the beginning of this video.
OMFW the patience.
I take my hat off to you, several times over, for having the mental stamina and endurance to do this. I'd have given up by the first fail, sold the house and moved into a caravan. Well done. No, _extraordinarily_ well done. Staggeringly, astonishingly well done. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent craftsmanship, I never get tired of your videos. I loved the vacuum technique for the second countertop attempt, very similar to what 'Baumgartner Restoration' does to flatten paintings.
I also recommend the channel 'Blacktail Studio', which does a lot of work with resin and wood.
Beautiful work again 😮Love to watch you work. The chair reminds me of an old antique rocker I had that was my grandmother’s. I loved it so much and my kids destroyed it 🤦🏻♀️ Broke my heart. Wish I had your knowledge, experience and patience then. Thank you for sharing! God Bless
Admirable tu trabajo, honorable y valiente lo que expones. Eres un gran ejemplo para todos que buscamos la perfección y tú eres un gran referente, digno y meticuloso. Saludos cordiales de un chileno viviendo en Colombia....
I'm certain that this counter top is worth more than my entire kitchen... and the result is absolutely brilliant! You are a special kind of crazy, the good kind! Never change!
Didn`t know you`d fitted the kitchen cabinets, last video we saw was you making and installing the picture window. Kitchen fitter myself of 42 years, would have been nice to see you build your cabinets and install them.
the next video will focus on making and fitting the kitchen from start to finish 😎
@@NewYorkshireWorkshop great stuff. We build all our own carcasses from 18mm MFC, colour matched to the doors, usually Egger or Kronospan. Cam & Dowell construction with Blum Soft Close Hinges and Drawer Systems, i presume though you made yours `Stick & Frame` as we call it, from solid wood from scratch which was the way i first learned how to do it back in the 80s. Love you videos mate, cheers. Glen, GTS Kitchens West Mids.
This is absolutely amazing work! I cannot even begin to imagine the number of hours this took, and the patience of a Ssaint when things go awry. You are a master craftsman.
Looks nice! 👍🏻
I just realized what I like about your shop and channel so much. You have sawdust on the floor and your clothes and your long term wood storage is dusty too, reminds me of my shop.
It gives us mortals hope to see a gifted master craftsman like you make an occasional mistake. Beautiful project! Enjoyed much.
sorry for your loss (of the 1st 2 tables) The final outcome i think is far prettier.
Can’t wait for this! Love your work and always excellent content! Up the New Yorkshire Workshop lad💪🏼
I’ve been meaning to/wanting to tell you how much of a better tradesman (I’m just a kitchen/bathroom fitter btw) you’ve made me… I’ve never been a bodger… I’m way better than that… but you’ve made me seek a higher and (try to) achieve the next level of standard. I always ask myself if I’m teetering on the ‘is that good enough’ brink… what would NYW think.
Also you’ll be my go to guy if I ever need a body desposing of.
Been a massive fan since the turntables… thanks for the vids and the class.
You are so methodical and precise that it is impossible to fail, and the result is always perfect, whatever you do! Great job!
Unbelievable patience, skill & knowledge have resulted in absolutely brilliant counter tops. Also amazing grit & determination shown on this project. SO impressive & thanks for sharing. Cheers, Don from South Australia..
After all that work I wouldn’t have been drumming my fingers, I would have been crying!
Keep the kitchen in light colours, it alway cheery to go in first thing on dark winter mornings.
oh its a bright colour alright! you are in for treat 😎
Awesome stuff! I think I would have sat down and cried after the first effort!
It's good to see that your humble enough to show you're human, make mistakes and overcome them. Sometimes they are dumb mistakes, but it happens to the best of us. Good on you. Very nice in the end.
Outstanding. While the originals looked fantastic, the second attempt in my view, were even better. I am sure I speak for many when I state that I am impatient for your videos, but I know how long editing takes, let alone making these masterpieces. Sublime effort!
Well Actually. Just Wow. Probably my favorite build you've done. Great techniques I haven't seen used together. My four year old went WHOA I WANT ONE OF THOSE
Perseverance and stamina mixed with art, craftsmanship and unyielding commitment to quality!
Yeahhhhhhhhhhh .....its gods gift to talent...lol...ya goofy m8te from Australia..wovvvvvv ya work
Stunning work once again!
"you can learn more watching an idiot than listening to a genius". Hands down!!! but you are a genius dude.
nice, new video ! Love your work :D
Kudos for going the second round and having success. It looks wonderful, I can't wait to see more of the kitchen fitout.
Gratitude for sharing the single-worker ideas like taping down the lofting sticks when applying the large veneer sheet!
The counter tops look terrific … the veneer has such an interesting pattern to it.
I literally was thinking just this morning, hmmmm it's been a while, probably due for another video soon. Always a good day
Уже успел соскучиться с момента выхода последнего видео!
You can get rid most of the bubbles by quickly torching them while the resin is still a bit runny.
Amazing patience! Thank you.
Genius are people with a lot of patience. Thanks for sharing!
Finally another video 🎉😊
Incredible, just wow!
Too bad the first attempt went wrong, was a nice layout though...
My neighbour tries to trick me into making tables with resin, now I can show her this vid to get her healed from that idea...
🤣👍👍👍
I'm really happy that im not the only person who uses scabby in the same context.
Its a great English word which is used more in the North of England .
Its one of my favourite words for describing ragged and unkempt in appearance.
Beautiful work. Love learning with you, thanks.
Withe vacuum table and release film I am getting a Baumgartner restoration vibe. Awe inspiring work!
Every time I say to myself “Why’s he doing that?” Or “Oh, he’s done that wrong” I know I need to pay careful attention because I’m going to learn something.
Another beautiful job. I really appreciate that you showed when things didn’t work out.
Nice! I just subbed because I was drawn in by the sheer breadth of projects that have already been showcased on your channel. I feel like I have gotten a reward for my efforts, lol
Quite the journey! the epoxy failure on the first attempt was heart breaking.
...waiting for the Christmas Outtakes when the full gamut of Yorkshirian will be heard, after the first attempt! 🙂
Hat's off for your staying-power with that one, and an excellent result.
