I am amazed at this. What a gorgeous piece you have made. I've been watching epoxy designs and pours for about five years not. I love building and wood working .by spring I hope I have all my household construction done since I've been doing it all alone. Major construction. As Iook at all this I know once I put my kitchen back together one thing I know is I wAnt beautiful epoxy countertops . By the way this stuff is ages I'm a single almost 70 year old woman still enjoying these amazing things can't. Wait to use the skills and knowledge of all you've taught a very small town lady . Thank you so very much.
The table is absolutely fabulous. You did an amazing job. I also want to comment on your video about your process. Thank you for showing things not to do and that you made errors. Showing the errors helps others I believe and I think adds a unique over view to others. I learn from mistakes as well and appreciate you showing them in your clips. A lot of people do not do that and make it seem impossible when someone is trying to follow along. I give you Kudos for your video.
Thank you, Mary. I try to keep the process transparent. Although I'm always striving for perfection, its infrequently a perfect process. I hope my successes AND failures can be of value to not only myself, but others. Again, thank you and hope you stick around to see more!
Obviously a fantastic build and video! Not only was it enjoyable but it held my 3yo son's attention the whole time! Haha thanks for the awesome content, and break from parenting! 10/10
Thank you! It could have brought more, the video is gaining some exposure quite a bit of time after the auction ended. I'll keep that in mind if I'm to ever do it again.
Two thumbs - this was truly brilliant. I learned a lot from this. I’m really moved by the fact that you did all this for a noble cause. I hope this good karma comes back many fold your way to keep you and your loved ones very, very happy.
Wow, amazing work of art. I have an idea on a table but was not sure on how to combine colors. Now I know how to do that. I also learned several more steps that I will have to take. You have a new subscriber. Thank you.
Absolutely stellar build and edit! Being a third generation logger, Sawyer, and woodworker I deeply appreciate Zakk’s no frills, no ego, all work and emotion that goes into every project. You always take the time and attention to a new process to quickly (but thoroughly) master and improve upon its. Zakk you are making the woodworking video not just for those who enjoy watching, but one more other woodworkers. You are what UA-cam viewers and more need to watch to really see and feel the trade, not the gassed up or diluted stuff that’s shoved into everyone’s feeds on here, IG and Tik Tok. Keep being amazing brother!
Derek, man, you’re the best. I really really appreciate those words. Hopefully one day this channel becomes something - I know I’m gonna busy my butt to try to “make it”
I am in love with this and learned a tremendous amount of what I needed to. I’ve got rainbow epoxy plans of my own. Thank 6ou so much for this video and supporting The Trevor Project.❤
Excellent video and build Zack!!! The video kept me engaged throughout the whole process, outstanding job!!! FYI, stop being so hard on yourself you nailed it bud!!!
Dude, I saw this table when you debuted it on Instagram and I was blown away. I only just now went back and watched the UA-cam video and saw everything that went into this table. Top quality work, Zakk. 🔥
MAGNIFIQUE !!! The colors are amazing. Thank you for sharing your experiences both good and bad, this is very honest on your part. Translation of French by Reverso.
You killed it again Zakk. I think this has to be my favorite piece from you to date. Good job not getting discouraged with the mistakes made and for also showing them too! Amazing piece!
hope it brought in a bunch of much needed funds. the trevor project and the trans lifeline have saved my life. it is nice to see the mix of this in my woodworking feed. i hope you post more videos ;) the table looks great. those legs... both the shape and the veneer rainbow... love. it. i haven't used colored veneers like that before. reminds me of the colored mdf i see people in the uk use a lot. i will def have to check them out. i would love to see a video of yours with the rainbow board that looks less swirling and more like ink bleeding into each other... i saw it on your instagram. might be crayon and not ink? this is great too. i just have done epoxy like this (albeit in one color and not multiple) and not like the other so i am curious to see it being done. i also love it with the burl wood... all so beautiful. and again, those legs ;) thanks for sharing! look forward to more from you, i subscribed. thanks for doing the fundraiser. and it is happy pride somewhere!
Stunning. Recommended, you could of saved time and money by just opting to use electrical ribbon cables that come in all those colours. You would just need to use a router to make the slits and then slide in the ribbons, followed by a clear epoxy to pop them. No would know.
You really earned my subscription. I so appreciate that you included & explained all the things that went wrong and how you fixed them. It's a truly beautiful piece of furniture & art! And for the record, I thought your camera work was pretty good, considering you were using a camera you weren't familiar with. Thanks for taking the time to make and share this.
This was a great video man. Loved all the detail and the camera quality was amazing. Very informative kept me to the end. Beautiful table man and noble to make for the foundation. 👏🏼
wow. this looks amazing. wish i could i could afford something like this. what a joy to walk into a room everyday and see this. i would spend so much time looking at every detail.
Thank you - I think the next one I'd like to take more of a "this is how I made it" rather than "this is how to make it". Less instructional, more story-like.
TRABALHO ESPETACULAR, MUITO BOM GOSTO NA ESCOLHA DO MATERIAL , .AS MADEIRAS, AS CORES DO ARCO-ÍRIS ESTÃO EM DEGRADADO, PARECE MUITO BONITO.. UMA OBRA DE ARTE. PARABÉNS! DO RIO DE JANEIRO, BRASIL
You absolutely nailed every aspect of this build! Your work always inspires me to strive to be better. Amazing work. Amazing video. Amazing cause. Just... amazing. 👏
Thanks, Adam. Slowly getting the hang of it all. I think the next project / vid will really show it all come together ! Appreciate your support, always.
Great job man! Your attention to detail on this one really shows - it's hard to truly explain how much work goes into a project like this. The table looks fantastic - thanks for sharing this one!
It sure is. Until someone sees the amount of steps and little details it takes to do something as “simple” as a 3x1 inaly logo tag, it’s hard to understand and appreciate it. Thanks for matching, man. Here’s to success for both of us!
The trevor project is an amazing charity, i am glad you are helping them. Thanks for being awesome. you get a sub from me for sure!! excited for what will come!
I can't believe how far our initial rainbow project has taken you! This table is AMAZING and the cause is noble. I really hope the auction brings all the recognition both you and The Tevor Project deserve!
Thank you for asking for that serving board a couple years ago. Incredible how it keeps evolving. Let’s just say I know this isn’t the end of it, either.
your filming skills are pretty much on par with your woodworking skills ;) both are great, you found a new sub - which you deserve a hundred times more of what you currently have! especially love the legs!
Dude! Gorgeous piece! Re: your use of a new camera…..if that’s your first attempt your ceiling on video production skills will be as high as you want! Great work. Your narration and description content is brilliant. To me it was very detailed and precise. I like that style of content. I hope your Table generated a lot of money for that worthwhile cause.
Really impressive build and production quality for the video! Spreading Rubio with the popsicle stick thingy is an underrated tip too… no more saving old credit cards for me 😂
No worries at all! Like I mentioned, watching the video is good enough for me! It’ll find a good home and hopefully in the process we can raise a good deal of $
This is my first time watching your videos and I’m enjoying them very much. You will continue to learn and grow as the years pass and you’ll become a better and more proficient artist in your work and design. I Look 👀 forward to seeing more work and progress in your videos and work. Just a thought 💭 “ I’m 84 yrs old.
I sure hope so. Design is certainly where I lack proficiency. I'm working every day to improve on that and the fine details of woodworking. I appreciate the kind words and I hope you're here for many many more years to see where this goes :)
I LOVE this! The table is beautiful, the legs with the rainbow detailing are amazing too - here before your channel blows up I dont know your YT aspriations but youve bought the camera now (great btw) if you get a video out once/twice a month and do a little overview of the finished work for a youtube short that links back to the related build video your channel will sky rocket, you've got a nice voice to listen to, your great at wood working, camera work and editing youve just got to get the content out consistently ❤
I appreciate the kind word! Especially about the skills part. Fingers crossed the channel does take off eventually, but you're spot on, the consistency will be the big thing. Trying to balance personal life, professional life (9-5), and other things, it gets to be a lot to dedicate the time needed for a project and video of this magnitude. I'd love to be able to publish a video every 6 weeks or so, but my life just doesn't allow it...YET. Hoping that 2024 allows me to publish every 8-10 weeks at a minimum. I have a laundry list of great video ideas, just the dedicated time is tough to come by. Standby, I'm trying :)
This is incredible, Zakk! Holy crap, that's a glorious, well thought out build! Obviously not without it's moments, but you were able to overcome them, and finish up with a phenomenal table! Also, great editing and narration, enjoyed the bid start to finish!
Epic build my friend! So much great information along the way too. I also learned that I don’t want to make my own veneers 😂 jk. Looking forward to the next video!
This is unbelievable beautiful …. In the beginning I thought I could try that (the epoxy part) but at the end …. No never 😂😂😂 thats way too much sanding and polishing …. You did a great job on the piece and the video 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thanks for the idea. I've added some machines since this video (5HP 20" planer) and things are getting a bit tight. I live at a friends, so I'm confined to a bit of a "smaller" space (20'x24') - I'm hoping to get my own place and bigger space eventually.. if so I'll def do a "shop tour" for those interested.
Fantastic video! It is so well shot and informative! Honestly, you made it look so easy from start to finish. I know the first rainbow lamination attempt wasn’t what you planned but I thought the wavy lines in there looked like you were on to something interesting. Do you think you could still use it in a future project? This table turned out absolutely fantastic. As I watched the last clips of the final table results I could not help but shake my head in disbelief of how beautiful this table turned out! Man you did great! Too bad this is the first video of yours I’ve seen because I would have LOVED to try to win this at auction for both the looks and the cause it was intended to serve. Bravo 👏🏽 ❤
Thank you so much for the kind words! The video didn't gain much traction until long after the auction had closed, unfortunately. I think in the future I may have to do a "for sale" on my website sort of listing when I have a project of this magnitude. I look forward to hearing what you think of future projects.
I took a little hiatus from projects, now I'm finishing up a dining table commission, then I'm back on the YT horse. I'd say expect a video early spring, and then hopefully videos at a more frequent rate after that. If you've ever seen the "chaos" concept with cutting boards, imagine that, but MUCH bigger and cooler. The project will be 1 of 1.
I did, yes. I used SketchUp to determine dimensions and splay. I didn't show that part as I figured it wouldn't be that desirable of content for this build, but I will definitely be showing it used in future projects. I often use it to rough mock up projects. Really helps determine what dimensions "feel" balanced.
on your bases. No reason you can't sand (and finish for that matter) prior to final assembly. A little fiddly to be sure, but better than hours of hand sanding.
Although partly true, very inconvenient for this operation. With the glue up any misalignment or slip in the joint and it will have to be resanded. Not to mention the potential for sanding the area where the joints meet and compromising the fit...or having to round over the pieces after glue up. I appreciate the advice, but if I were to do it again, I'd still do it the way I did. Order of operations was HIGHLY considered when making these bases.
@@thedoublekayway funny this endeavor. I see it the other way. lol. More chance for inconsistency with varied access to the surfaces. of course we are both correct in our respective shops. Great piece btw.
@@StoneyMeyerhoeffer 100%! I definitely appreciate the recommendation. I like seeing and hearing how others approach situations and tackle problems. I tell people all the time, the “right” way to do something, is the way that works to achieve the result desired (as long as it’s done safely).
Do you have access to like local walnut you can slab out personally from tree removal or buy separate. Just curious cuz the few videos I've just started watching I see you kinda just pull them from like storage corners. So I was just curious cuz I buy when I can but I live where walnut is super rare like 1-15,000 trees in at the absolute highest estimates. Run into the same exact problem with red cedar
I've never showed it in any of my videos (I have showed it on IG), but I have about 6000 BF of wood that I've bought over the years. I frequently pull from this stash for projects, but for something like this project where I was looking for a specialized material, I order it from out of state and have it sitting in the shop until the project starts. Long story short, I frequently buy wood in and out of state from suppliers - I do not harvest and mill myself.
What I have in value today definitely isn't what it takes to do the work, or do it well. I started off with a cheap black and decker drill and a used 1990's miter saw. I slowly built up my tool inventory. I've put back almost every dollar from projects into tools and supplies. If still curious though, I've got about ~$35-40k USD in tools / accessories.
An absolutely beautiful statement piece. Whoever ends up with this will be a very lucky.
Thank you! It was shipped off to Canada and hopefully enjoyed for many years!
@@thedoublekaywayDid you polish it on both sides?
I am amazed at this. What a gorgeous piece you have made. I've been watching epoxy designs and pours for about five years not.

a foundation that exists to save lives is an easy one to support.
I’m not surprised you’ve found success in woodworking! Whatever you put your mind to, success always follows!

What a beautiful table. You did an awesome job! I'm praying it brings a hefty sum at auction. The Trevor Project is a worthy cause.

Wow that rainbow strip looks amazing, seriously incredible work
Thank you! I had the vision to incorporate that from the get-go and I definitely was pleased with that part of the piece.

Thank you, Jim, and thank you for viewing both of my videos.
Great work, looking forward to more videos
Hoping to do every 2-3 months, if my schedule allows it! Maybe one day I’ll be able to do every 4-6 weeks
Great work on the table and the video. Between the two it’s an insane amount of work!
It sure is, my guess is in the neighborhood of 150 hours. Hopefully I slowly get more efficient
Gorgeous table! Wish I could have bought it ❤🌈
Thank you! I do take commissions on one-offs like this, but right now I'm a bit packed for a few months.

Too bad this is the first video of yours I’ve seen because I would have LOVED to try to win this at auction for both the looks and the cause it was intended to serve. Bravo 👏🏽 ❤
Thank you so much for the kind words! The video didn't gain much traction until long after the auction had closed, unfortunately. I think in the future I may have to do a "for sale" on my website sort of listing when I have a project of this magnitude. I look forward to hearing what you think of future projects.
Awesome video!
Thanks, man!
I was wondering how you got the swirls in it. Previous rainbow/coloured projects I have seen had used melted crayons to get the colours.
My philosophy is “If you don’t leave a little DNA in each project you didn’t give it your all”
what does that mean?
When’s the next one? Looking forward to your next project
I took a little hiatus from projects, now I'm finishing up a dining table commission, then I'm back on the YT horse. I'd say expect a video early spring, and then hopefully videos at a more frequent rate after that. If you've ever seen the "chaos" concept with cutting boards, imagine that, but MUCH bigger and cooler. The project will be 1 of 1.
That is a gorgeous piece! Great work. Did you use SketchUp or any software to create the design/dimensions of the legs?
I did, yes. I used SketchUp to determine dimensions and splay. I didn't show that part as I figured it wouldn't be that desirable of content for this build, but I will definitely be showing it used in future projects. I often use it to rough mock up projects. Really helps determine what dimensions "feel" balanced.
on your bases. No reason you can't sand (and finish for that matter) prior to final assembly. A little fiddly to be sure, but better than hours of hand sanding.
Although partly true, very inconvenient for this operation. With the glue up any misalignment or slip in the joint and it will have to be resanded. Not to mention the potential for sanding the area where the joints meet and compromising the fit...or having to round over the pieces after glue up. I appreciate the advice, but if I were to do it again, I'd still do it the way I did. Order of operations was HIGHLY considered when making these bases.
@@thedoublekayway funny this endeavor. I see it the other way. lol. More chance for inconsistency with varied access to the surfaces. of course we are both correct in our respective shops. Great piece btw.
@@StoneyMeyerhoeffer 100%! I definitely appreciate the recommendation. I like seeing and hearing how others approach situations and tackle problems. I tell people all the time, the “right” way to do something, is the way that works to achieve the result desired (as long as it’s done safely).
how much does the shop charge you per hour for the use of their 40" sander?
Do you have access to like local walnut you can slab out personally from tree removal or buy separate. Just curious cuz the few videos I've just started watching I see you kinda just pull them from like storage corners. So I was just curious cuz I buy when I can but I live where walnut is super rare like 1-15,000 trees in at the absolute highest estimates. Run into the same exact problem with red cedar
I've never showed it in any of my videos (I have showed it on IG), but I have about 6000 BF of wood that I've bought over the years. I frequently pull from this stash for projects, but for something like this project where I was looking for a specialized material, I order it from out of state and have it sitting in the shop until the project starts. Long story short, I frequently buy wood in and out of state from suppliers - I do not harvest and mill myself.
oh dam
Aluminum dams? Lolllll
😍😍
Thanks for watching!
How much has it cost for all your tools and machines? Curious cause i want to get into this..
What I have in value today definitely isn't what it takes to do the work, or do it well. I started off with a cheap black and decker drill and a used 1990's miter saw. I slowly built up my tool inventory. I've put back almost every dollar from projects into tools and supplies. If still curious though, I've got about ~$35-40k USD in tools / accessories.
How much did it sell for?
$1500
@thedoublekayway Congratulations. That's a helluva piece you made. You ought to be proud of it.
