- Опубліковано 29 чер 2020
- I have done my fair share of Epoxy Projects, this one has been in my head for years. In this video I build a CRAZY Epoxy Waterfall Table with a single pour! I also add some bubbles with a cool artsy technique, I carve the puddle, it breaks 4 times, and I make a rock from wood! This one was a lot of fun!

Appreciate people actually showing the mistakes they made rather than acting like they’re perfect
Cant agree more
It’s one of the best thing about this channel.
I messed up exactly like this, its nice to see the experts making mistakes too. Makes feel like less of an asshat
@@bixwor completely agree! Does feel good to know that we are not the only one who make mistakes when making things with wood.
Learned so much from this channel, and showing the mistakes/problems. Everyone makes mistakes it's figuring out how to recover that's usually the problem
Im not crazy about the finished table but I’m SO impressed that you had so many failures and just kept at it... I’ve quit projects for way less... you have really made me reflect on projects I’ve given up on, I feel inspired to not give up the next time! Great video, probably my favorite on your channel!
Agreed levee breaks is one of the best drum intros ever ❤️ 💙 ♥️ 💖
“i didn’t calk it like bigger tables cuz we’re in a rush to pour it before the weekend” seems lesson learned for sure LOL
When using that much epoxy/resin, you need to do it in stages. Let the first pour mostly harden. While it is still chemically active, pour the next stage. That way the heat is minimized and you can avoid the problem at the beginning. It clearly takes longer, but it comes out looking clean.
This. The heat of the chemical reaction of the epoxy bowed your plexi outwards and caused those leaks between the clamps/screws you had used to hold the front panel together.
One thing I’ve learned, never rush a project. Especially anything to do with liquids.
It's just like glass fiber resin
Yeah this is like Epoxy 101, says it on every brand of it. Even the high end stuff you really should only do 1-2 inches at a time max and or thinner if you're going crazy waterfalls.
It's like they have no idea how to use it - it's nuts for a channel of a pro shop
Today on Shop Time, we're going to do a Dip It episode featuring John Malecki's shop floor and a towel.
yes sir !
@@John_Malecki do eet!
Lol that’d be great XD
😆😆😆
Love it. Also the lady in the water fall on the right side.
I'm glad someone else saw that too! It almost looks like a mermaid. Really cool!
I still have epoxy on the shop floor from an epic spill when I was making pub tables. This video gave me some nightmare flashbacks!
As a total newbie at working with epoxy, it’s sooooo freakin awesome to see you show your mess-ups so I can feel a tad better about myself!! 😂 I have a long way to go, but at least the process and practice is fun! Thanks for keeping it real!
I cant believe how well you handled that! I'm sure it was a bit worse off camera
I would have flipped out for sure.
@@danssmokintreasures yeah that laugh was to avoid crying or raging
i mean the dude came into the room mic'd up lmfao you really think thats a genuine reaction?
@@Stoop_Kidd ya he got mic'd up before seeing it
Don’t tell me you’ve never gotten the Led out !! Killer song, mega drum sound. They set up John’s set in an entry way of a huge 18th century house because of how big the sound was with the tall ceilings and put mics all around him. Pretty badasssssss
I admit, part way through, I was thinking, John Malecki don't know what he's doing. LOL. It turned out really good though. Sometimes that's how these things go. Just gotta' go for it and learn along the way. Of course, having fun doing it. I would be the same, not knowing what I was doing, but I might just give this one a try. I have a real waterfall in my back yard. Used a bunch of old foundation stones, a garden hose and a small pump. Relaxing sitting out there in the warmer weather having my morning cup of coffee, or my evening cold brew. Enjoyed your video. Good work.
That turned out gorgeous John. I love the realism in your videos. Your not afraid to show mistakes. How to get hit and get back up again. Keep it up man!!!
Realism, lol .. you really bought that?
He earned my subscription with that integrity. Reaction reenactments and all.
John, you need to look on the bright side, the wood didn’t float away
🤣
ROFL
Great video. Including mistakes is so helpful. Truly. Many thanks from Nova Scotia
I always thought "When the Levee Breaks" would be the best song walking up to bat in baseball
“I’ve never done this before but I watched a couple UA-cam videos” iconic
Dude, seeing how that all went down after hearing it through texts and pics makes me laugh even more 😂😅 Y'all made some sweet sweet lemonade out of those lemons 💪
Lllllllllllllllloolololllllllllollllollllolollolllollllllllloolololoolololllolllllollollllllllloolloollololllllollollloollllllllllllloolllllolllooolooloolollolllllloollooloololllololllollolollollllolollllollollllololllllllollllllllolllolllollooollllloolloolloolololllllollolllololllollllllollolollllllolllololloololoollllolololoollooloollllllolollllllllolllllollllllllloolllllolloolollolllllolllllllolollolllloolllllolllllolllollollloolllololloollllollllllololllollolllollololollollllolooooolollllololllloollololllooloolollllllllllolollolllloollllolllolllollllolllllloollllllolollollolllllllllllooollllolloloollllllolooollllololololllolllollolloolollloolooloololollloooollllolololllllooollllllp
😂Please don't encourage more scripted skits LOL😂
You are correct…one of the all time best!!!!!
I was just wondering if you’ve ever had a blowout…and then! I love all of your creative work; it’s inspiring.
Definitely one of the best songs of all history. Great taste
100%!!!
I agree
@@John_Malecki that song is somehow relaxing and chill at the same time as it rocks so hard. A little mind blowing.
When the Levee Breaks is THE BEST DRUM INTRO EVER! And John Bonham IS THE BEST DRUMMER EVER!!!
Am frm Pakistan ....
It's looks a unique waterfall u did a great job....
1000 in epoxy on the floor, first thing on a monday morning....it truly was a 2020 build. kick ass save on the project!
This is the real-life example of leaving all the studying for your exams the night before you have them.
Great build!
I came here to say this. These guys are just making it up as they go and it's embarrassing to watch.
@@RoyRosales It's not embarrassing, it shows the creative minds they possess and learn through mistakes. And I'm pretty sure they think it through even when there are mistakes, nobody is perfect and shit happens.
You should make an epoxy kayak. And take it out on the lake before summer ends.
It was a lot of work and it looks great. Thanks. God bless you all.
No arguments here, "When the Levee Breaks" definitely has an awesome drum track. The Beastie Boys even sampled it. Awesome table btw
I vote for more weird. Your weird has a habit of producing pimptacular projects.
I can not explain how much I love your videos. Can’t tell you how many times in my own shop I try to convince myself that “everything is going perfectly to plan”
First of all, I agree 100% that bonzos lead into when the levee breaks is THE best ever, no question. Second, really cool table. Talk about a challenge.....
Lol the leak at the beginning is basically how I feel every single time I try to use epoxy...
This is pretty cool, did you consider like a “foam” on the bottom of the waterfall where the two pieces of epoxy meet?
when the levee breaks... I wont argue... defenetely one of the best songs ever by the best group ever!
The wood looks really nice.
I think you did a fantastic job the table looks beautiful
Love how ya saw this project through to the end even when it looked like it was going belly up at the start. That's how it is in the world of craftmanship, sometimes you shapes the projects, sometimes the projects shape you.
That's the beauty in art!
I really liked this video but I wish you had a rock parting the waterfall.i have seen that in nature and think it would have been a fantastic addition to that table
@JohnMalecki you were asking about why the white rose to the top instead of staying in the bottom...every liquid has a different "weight"...for future projects of similar issues...make up your small amounts of each colour and weigh on a digital scale. Chances are they weigh different...lightest will rise. Talk to a mixologist in your local bar...while you drink your whisky have them build cocktails in front of you..I always learn from other mediums...epoxy reminds me of baking...there's a cake I used to make. You put the dry ingredients on the bottom, gently pour liquid on top and don't stir...during the baking process the mixture inserts itself so the sauce i on the bottom and cake on top...very cool to watch btw
The water foaming effect is obviously difficult to achieve, but I have seen artists render it with fabulous results. Pratice makes perfect I guess. I think with the curved features of the river on the table top, the table legs look clunky. Why not carve the sides of the water fall? I don't think it would compromise the integrity of the table to do this. The attempt at creating the effect of rock on the other side? I don't know. To create a more integrated design, I would coat the rock leg with a grey epoxy mix, and use some grey epoxy on the edgs of the river on the table top as well. Crazy difficult job for sure. A+ for your willingness to persevere and make us laugh to boot! I can see on the side there you have another river table project. I'm definitely going to check it out.
Love how this turned out, and the journey was interesting! Project suggestion if you are ever doing something non-commissioned: live edge river wardrobe doors. I think it would make an amazing piece in a room, built in or free standing (and people rarely build wardrobes on UA-cam, it feels lacking)
I totally agree! I would love to have an old fashioned wardrobe...my grandmother had one when I was a kid so they make me smile...besides...he doesn't want their own entrance to Narnia? Bahaha
My fix would have been to make it look like ice!
Well, that turned out way better than it should have. Usually when sometimes tries more off the wall shit to cover up a "cock-up", as the British say, it only gets more cocked up. Love "mistake" vids!
deep black with stars in, and backlight for contrast, gold dust. that would look wild and cool
I know this table must have been hell for you, but I THOROUGHLY enjoyed watching this video. So entertaining haha. Awesome finish after what you went through.
Ok, Malecki. I saw this in my feed and was all "just what we need, another damn waterfall eepoksee table." But I watched anyway and then I was all, "wait a hot second...this is gonna be good..." And then I was like, "I hope there's no fire 'cause that extinguisher ain't going nowheres." And then I was all, "Zeppelin...eff yea!" And then I was like, "crack kills. Lol." And then I go, "nice save!" And then I have to admit, "Epic, Malecki."
Ah yes... What to do when things go south but you still need to make something functional
I love this table the cracks make it look like broken ice
Awesome vid, I am a beginner who has done small things like ashtrays, trinket boxes etc but I have always had my sights on doing something bigger like tables and this vid inspired me even more with the imagination of doing something like that is rare and awesome....yes do keep those videos coming, I need to try and start doing bigger things myself. Thank you for that inspiration, mistakes are always made but you have managed to carry on and make something wonderful.
epic build!
Love it! Thanks for showing the ups and downs. I really enjoyed the host he's quite comical.
Good fumble recovery! Persistence pays off...
I was coughing right before he said stop coughing. Kinda caught me off guard.
Thank you You Tube algorithm for bringing me here. Instant sub. Well done my man.
Then you fill the cracks with a totally different color, like a green or even better a black so you pop out mistakes instead of trying to fix them. It is gorgeous looking. The bottom part of the water is a little unnatural, cut in s patterns. Maybe some sharper cuts with rock in places? Or the end might look good not smoothed out but bumpy and full of bubbles.
Hey from Yinzerville!. So cool you're from Pittsburgh. Your hilarious self-effacement is one of the many things I love about living here. Delighted to find your channel. Oh, and I bet your nice about letting drivers make left-hand turns---another Yinzer trait.
You rock john
You are probably one of the best
No way Zoe, you're the best !
John doesn't deserve 300k subs, he deserves 1.4 mil subs :-)
You are correct, tell all your friends! We're building an army!
@@John_Malecki The fact that u responded made my day.... wow
I can't tell you how much this video inspired me!!! I'm about to go to my She Shed and get Squirrley! Little Squirrel was what my brother called me when l was little. Who knew I'd grow up and be Squirrely. Hope it's spelled right🤗
Amazing confidence resulted in brilliant finish.
Very cool, love all your videos. How long do you spend planning a build vs. how much is figuring out the details on the fly? Your videos always come across as well planned. With larger projects, I often find myself not thinking through particular details enough and need to end up changing some things.
another outstanding video. Just shows even when a project is totally kicking you butt. Keep going and it will work out! Nice work bud!
After all the problems wow it is definitely worth it
Ahhhh duuude that SUCKS! 🤣 LMAO!!! you took the hit in stride though, good on ya. The result was so worth it! Kudos! 👍 thanks for the laughs ...and honesty! LOL
"i'm going to wait until this side dries then I will sand it off and do it again" (hey sam sand down my mistake!!) hahaha
14:25 summoned a squirrel demon in my livingroom... now what?
Embrace it...... then eat it
I have a "river" banks are rocks going thru 1/4 of my living room from round penny tiles. Looks like it has depth and movent.... Had to come up with something wasn't about to bust up all the tile that was laid.... Was doing a hopscotch pattern with two different "clearance cheap" tiles and grout line was growing latter realized the tiles were more like 4-5 different sizes not two lmfao.... None the less I actually love how it played out in the end! Very different one of a kind I got!!!
I do like your concept, and understand the basic thought behind the foaming water at the top. But what would actually make it foam before falling is underwater rocks and maybe twigs and fallen lumber. If you ever want to mix in more failure points, that could be an added component.
Love the video though, and you got another subscriber. Looking forward to see what you come up with next.
Yo what up love the vids
Thanks Jakob!
Ya know the saying “learning from your mistakes”... I swear he’s going to be a fricken genius by the time he’s 80. . Cuz there in every SINGLE video... and why? Cuz he “wings” it 🤦🏻♂️🤷♂️
That's how unique things are made and it's great content!
It looks like a mermaid tail so pretty😃
You are HILARIOUS..& very educational. It's great to get instruction in how to resolve common problems.
That mold release spray is a waste of time, I use any kind of automotive wax paste and wipe the whole form down 👍🏽 never had melamine stick.
"We don't actually know what happened!??" I'm picking up a pattern here.
Очередной шедевр. Огромное спасибо за познавательное видео. Всегда смотрю с удовольствием.
Turned out really cool. At the beginning I had my doubts.
Am I the only one who is kinda frustrated at how he doesn’t really plan the process out. So much time and/or work could have been saved... that being said it still looks cool
yeah. he needs to watch I like to make stuff and learn from Bob
My channel is about the journey. Not the end product: bob is great but I don’t work that way
@@John_Malecki fair enough
@@John_Malecki I'd rather see the mistakes so that I don't make them myself, I appreciate the fact that you don't edit out the blunders and show viewers that even though something doesn't go perfectly you can still have an amazing end result. Keep up the good work my man. Appreciate you sharing the adventure with us :D
Well, you handled that well. I'm glad you can cuss like a truck driver. Next skill is to cuss like a Marine.
Great save! Amazing final product.
Another idea that would have looked cool on this project is if the waterfall looked like it went into the floor (instead of the 'puddle'). You could make a lip of a well in timber and then fill it with epoxy and then have the water pouring into that.
I would have left the waterfall edge exactly like it was: not cutting it off. t looked awsome! In my humble opinion.
Пацаны встряли с переделками)) The guys got into trouble with the alterations. Respect from Russia.
Brass monkey! That funky monkey! Great video!
Easy for me to say, having never done this myself, but I think I'd put some kind of a ..... trough? or a reservoir underneath to catch drips and such. Should they occur. (Slap something together out of plywood an like it with plastic maybe?, I dunno ) I just discovered you guys last night and it took every bit of manliness I possess to turn the laptop off and go to bed. I shall be binge watching all this Saturday You guys are AWESOME !!!!!!!!
You sure were dedicated to making it work hats off to you. I guess I might have added a bit of darker blue to give it some depth.
Yesssssss. You just got a lot more cooler in my book with the adoption reference.
That piece was a work of art brother. That’s why art is so unique because you look at mistakes as opportunities for new ideas.
Maybe a gold colour would have looked great too in the cracks... Some Kintsugi ^^
Looks great anyway!
I really wish you put like a 6” rock sticking through the bottom of the waterfall. I think that could have looked so good and given it even more depth
" CRYING WON'T HELP YA , PRAYING WON'T DO YA NO GOOD !!" Awesome table man! I like you left in the mistake and did'nt edit it out. I don't know if it's the best drum intro but for sure in the top 4 😎
Hi i love it and the best people find they make mistake but it the end result that matters.x
John. the advantages to PVC sheets is better heat transfer than MDF or Melamine. Think about using an aluminium table for an even better transfer of heat. Also if you want to add colors think of letting it setup a little then introducing your colrs with large syringes. What the top looks like after your done doesn't matter. You have a CNC to use like a planar or wide belt sander.
Just to clarify, don't pour directly on to aluminium table, use the PVC mold. It's just a better way to transfer heat out of the pour and into the room.
So the second time knowing Sid lets put down a tarp? Lol ..yeahhh
@JohnMalecki The greatest drum intro of all time is where eagles dare by iron maiden
Total agreed on when the levee breaks ! That whole album is awesome!!!!
Okay, Well, Try-Do-, Ya's will get it eventually it shall come together with you're perseverance & Tuff times that Do-Come, to every Artistic Person! Tenacious is key. 😘👍✌😎
Your great & funny as hell 🤣 the water fall for a desk is a bit expensive but the customer is always right .
👍
I think you should try this table again 3 years later.....I bet it will be so much different.
I see a picture of Ron Swanson in the workshop... You have my subscription!. Nice table too.
good recovery, thought it was a goner at one part but you managed to give your waterfall 'the kiss of life' mate. Kudos
