    Thank you for speeding up the playback. It made the video very entertaining. I hate watching every step in real time, the tedium is mind numbing. Most videos making tables out of decayed tops use epoxy to fill in the broken parts. The use of an insert instead was very refreshing.

    It's pretty cool but I like the beginning, weathered, wood piece more.
    I would rather have created something to keep the original appearance if possible and adding wood to the missing area of the tabletop and an accompanying weathered, rustic base for it to sit on.

  • @brucehucko783
    @brucehucko783 5 місяців тому +2

    Rookie is right! He cut away all the good stuff. What about layering a thin piece underneath the whole thing and filling in the eroded section with resin or something so we could still see the beauty of the wood? That's where the art was. An organic shape would have been nice, too!

  • @bradferguson6977
    @bradferguson6977 5 місяців тому +4

    It looks nice but the original piece of wood was ruined in my opinion. He sanded way too much of it off to begin with and then cut it up which was the next biggest mistake.....

  • @aubraalexandar8033
    @aubraalexandar8033 5 місяців тому +2

    In the beginning I thought he was going to use the incredible original piece of wood and do an epoxy fill on it for the "missing" areas. I have seen some incredible wood epoxy art on YT. The end results looked weird and I would not have wanted to buy it.

  • @brucejedwabny3473

  • @phenogen8125
    @phenogen8125 5 місяців тому +6

    Rookie is correct. Abysmal jointing with no allowance for wood moisture movement and over reliance on glue screw and nails/staples. May look on first appraisal and superficially as "good" to some but a real dogs dinner to me. I personally would have given it the "Blacktail Studio" type of resin work and not just exposed the "rot" but made a feature of it. I did approve of the safe methodologies employed in the wood processing; too many lose fingers so readily and see it as a badge of honour as a wood machinist. The naive may interpret this as skilful; it is far from that aspiration; being superficial without integrity of construction nor a recognition of differential wood movement.
