    Great video! Do you just sand the epoxy to the high grit or the whole table. Same question about the buffing? Thanks!

      Yes, but will give it a light sand before we start oiling

    Hi Greg, I have bought your document with all the knowledge and information, thank you very much for this, so much info it is great. One question that I can't find the answer to in your document is - when you sand out the cnc Mark's from your table, do you then use the finishing sander on the wood and epoxy from that point onward rather then an ordinary sander.

    • @diywithgreg

      Hi Johny, first of all thank you so much for the support 🙏🏻
      You can use any sander to remove the lines, will definitely not recommend a belt sander.
      And what i have noticed a couple of days ago, we used to start sanding with 80 grid but the 80 grid makes very deep lines, so we will now start sanding with 120 grid..
      By the way im starting a online epoxy master course soon.

    Sir , one video on how to sand table treating wood (upto 220) and continuing epoxy part(upto higher grits) for polishing and giving gloss.

  • @caithnessrivertables1614
    @caithnessrivertables1614 Рік тому +1

    Greg, if i sanded the wood section to 400 grit then carried on the epoxy to 1500 grit for a shinny finish, i will sand onto the wood edge giving the edge a 1500 grit sanding, if i cant sand the wood edge back to 400 grit for what ever reason will this be noticeable. Sometimes you cant resand back to 400 grit because that section of wood might be quite narrow.
    Thanks
    Johny

    • @diywithgreg
      @diywithgreg  Рік тому +1

      Good question, we posted a video recently on this topic. Just make sure you come back and sand as close as possible to the edge without touching the epoxy.
      This does take a lot of time, unfortunately.
      But when applying odies it really really hard to notice.

    Hi Greg! Just a question..I hope
    to make it clear, since it’s a bit articulate..how do you manage to polish just the epoxy section and not the wood? I mean..while you sand the wood up to maybe 400 grit, to oil it afterwards, and you also polish the epoxy to high gloss finish, in the very transition section where the wood meets the epoxy, that wood portion is likely going to get polished too, i guess...but all the other wood parts were just sanded and not polished..so can it be a problem having the wood partially sanded and partially polished when it comes to oil it? Cause I think the wood soaks the oil differently..I just knew that when the wood is polished, it’s like a mirror, the grain is almost completely closed, and it almost cannot absorb finishes..sorry for the extremely long question🤦🏻‍♂️ Anyway, gret table, as always! Merry Christmas from Italy

    Are you sanding the entire table ( wood and resin) to 400-800 grit and then just the resin for up to the final grit?

    Hi Greg. I want to ask you something. Are there specific rpm’s at your polisher for every compound? And one more question, is your polisher rotary or orbital? Thank you.

    • @diywithgreg
      @diywithgreg  2 роки тому +1

      Yoyo, yes you can use a low rpm when polishing. With a polish machine

    Great video. How do you keep the polish from soaking into the wood when polishing the epoxy? Do you oil the wood first, then polish?

    • @diywithgreg

    Hi Greg
    Why you don’t send the wood at the same time?

    • @diywithgreg
      @diywithgreg  2 роки тому +1

      Because if you sand the wood to higher grids the oil will not penetrate into the wood 😇

    hi Greg, you do a wonderful tables and i really love your job.
    But, all your channel watchers, subscribers and those who press like for you, want to see your work and the procces. sometime they have a quation to ask. and what you r doing?
    answer: "Hallo, i have a full document on our methods and techniques we use to build all our tables and all the information you need, and I documented everything" means, pay me 15$ for answer.
    You became familiar and a appreciate because all this people. there is a lot of epoxy table builders in youtube, some of them very famous, who show their projects, the process and answer questions asked by the watchers because they see them a partners.
    Think about it.

      Hi Rami, thanks for your comment and support. Please do understand where im coming from, if you follow me and watch all my older videos you will find that im basically explaining everything and show people what I do and how I do it.
      I had to close my construction company down after 12 years of trading due to covid and started woodworking and UA-cam for an income, at this stage im trying everything “even selling my knowledge on a document” for a few bucks that should be thousands of dollars worth at the end of the day because that’s thousands of hours I had to work to gain experience and knowledge for building River tables.
      Hope all is good and well. Blessings
