2 simple recommendations: 1.) Always mix blue into your resin, because every resin yellows over time, and the blue tint lets it appear white to the human eye. 2.) I would always 2K clear coat (automotive spraying procedure) such objects. Fast, simple, reliable and perfect surface. Fun video! Best wishes

That depends on the brand and type of epoxy being used as well as the ventilation of the space you pour in.

The stuff I use only has a fume when you hit the part B with a heat gun and have your face close to it. My space ends up smelling after I pour but it smells like the alcohol I spray in my molds to help epoxy get in all the tiny details better.

I love yours! It’s GORGEOUS!!! 👏🏻 Also, I love and hate resin. It’s beautiful in the moment, but overtime there’s no way to keep it from yellowing 😔 I hope yours stays crystal clear for years and years to come! Much love ❤️
Thank you! Total boat just released a new formulation of Fathom with improved UV resistance, which is supposed to prevent yellowing. This is the first project. I’ve used it on, so I’m hoping it will do the trick.
It's been said, and I agree: pure react/roast videos aren't it. The way this entire video went is. Blind build the inspiration then compare methods after. It was a cool design idea that you put your own spin on and turned out great.
I like this project a lot, and it turned out great. One suggestion: while the carpet tape seems to have worked really well, an easier way to fold and adhere fabric is "fusible web". It's heat activated, so you can move things around until you're happy with it, then press with an iron to activate the web. Beautiful table - wish I had room in my studio to give it a try myself.
My studio does MUCH smaller projects, but we learned a while ago to go with a varnish coat on almost everything we make. What we noticed is that, if something were put up against the project by accident, etc, the varnish kept the piece clean, no scratches or marks. And on some things we actually use a clear finishing wax because it does the same th(ng and can be easily buffed with a microfiber and more wax applied. The sheen doesn’t seem to disappear, either.
After seeing you sit on the table, I like this way better as a bench than a coffee table. I feel like this kind of pattern would work better as insert in a framed top on a more traditionally designed coffee table.
I love it! I always love your videos. You don't try to hide your mistakes. You always leave them in and show how you did or would correct the process. It makes this channel not only entertaining, and informative, but very instructional as well. No wonder you are close to having a million followers. Thanks for being real!
I enjoyed watching the process. I made a few rudimentary resin topped pieces in the early 70's: bookcase and a coffee table. Didn't have the tools like you have and had to lay plastic over the resin to form a super smooth top.
Since you asked, I've subbed for many years, since long before the move. I love your channel, and your builds. I've been inspired in a lot of my own projects by yours. That's why I watch your channel, to see your work, your process and to be inspired. Nothing inspiring about roasting builds that come from the hearts and hands of other creators, regardless if they're pears, big channels, or no names. I felt bad for that guy, and I would have been proud of my finished product and the video if I were him. If I were him, and I subbed to your channel, and saw you basically "ew mine's better" every step of his process, I wouldn't have been pretty hurt, and then angry. You ask if that's something we'd like more of in the future. I can't speak for everyone else, but that was the first time I've ever, in many years, felt negative about your video and lost a tiny bit of respect for you there. You're usually so positive and uplifting, I don't imagine that's how that guy is feeling about you right now. I'm sure a ton of people show up in your comments and crap all over your builds. I hope that wouldn't drive you to put the same negativity out into the universe as they do. Even if he shows up and says it was fine, and that it didn't bother him, that's him personally, and let's be honest, we would all say that to save face, regardless how we actually felt. Heaven forbid people have feelings anymore, the internet might have a melt down.
I apologize if it came off that way, I really didn’t mean it to… perhaps you tuned away before the end, but I wrapped it up by saying, I thought the project was overall super cool, and I was inspired by it.
@modustrial no. I saw that. If that's my video I'm not enjoying myself up to that point, and then hearing it was cool at the end was a given, right? It wouldn't have been any consolation. On top of that, how can you be inspired by something you saw after you completed yours, and found to be lesser? That moment of acknowledgment at the end felt obligatory and fake, but inly because saying it's cool after bashing it is obligatory, and saying you were inspired by something post production comes off as fake. Know what I mean? I'm not crapping on you, and you don't owe anybody an apology for expressing your opinions. You have every right to. I was just giving feedback because you asked and I'm being honest. I still love your channel and this doesn't change anything, I just felt really bad for the guy for a part of the video and then grimaced when you did the right thing and tried to make up for it. Also, I'm just 1 guy. I don't represent the majority, and if you give it a bit, there will be people along to bash me for saying anything, and the internet, UA-cam and the world will keep spinning.😊❤
I'm not sure if I watched the same video you did. He plainly said at the beginning of his video that he saw the table on Instagram and was inspired by it. Then, in the middle, while he was editing his video he was made aware of the video where the table was made. I also did not hear a single thing that made me feel "ew mine is better". In fact, he was watching to see if they did things in an easier way that he did and commented about all of the similarities in the process. He even has tool envy with the laser cutter.
@ssteele1812 strange that you would think us watching the same video would mean that at its conclusion we would share the same opinions of it. I commented because he asked for our thoughts. He's also smart enough he wouldn't have asked us to debate the undebateable, each other's opinions of the video. Regardless what your own personal thoughts are about the video, they're yours, and they're between you and him.
@modustrial watching your reaction was like watching my dad give feedback, lots of criticism and at the end, something like, "you're a good kid." Please don't do reaction videos 😅😅😅😅
Make a bunch of small resin pillars or a side resin frame, then put the rug over it and do the pour, but make sure the outer frame is slightly bigger than the rug so it can fill underneath the rug, then you'll have a rug floating in the Middle of the resin and you wont have to worry about covering underneath the resin rug table, you can just sand it and spray a clear coat and your good to go... just sharing an idea..
Very cool result! As I was watching, I was also thinking that the epoxy & rug combo might make an interesting inset top to a wooden table. Probably a ton easier to make, too.
It takes more time but there's a "perfect finish" to the bottom: just create a blank resin-only table (same shape of the finished), then put the rug on top of it and cover it with resin (as you've done). That way the back will look perfect and you'll have some material in case you want it shiny too; and you won't have to fight to remove the structure from rug (with the risk of damaging it).
Sitting here with two questions. Has anyone put the carpet under vacuum for the first application & has anyone used a black light to indentify bubbles when they torch them? I think the vacuum could create a better bond and stinger less flexible first application. I bet you could knock down a lot of mass by vacuum chambering both the vaccum for first applicetin and the resin thereafter.
I liked the video and the product. The title says it's a resin rug table but sitting on it, it could be a bench, which while either is a unique feature in any home. I don't know what a product would sell for or the costs of the materials, time & labor is, but depending on usage and time, I'm curious about the long-term durability of either. My older brother was a surfer in his young days, making his own boards, like a craftsman enjoys making their own things to enjoy. I did notice that time, heat, usage, on a resin board age and eventually starts to crack, so depending on the owner putting too much weight, or heat will take its toll, but until then, I hopes the owners enjoys it for such a beautiful & functional art furniture.
Very cool project. With all that work, it’s a good idea to use a rug you really like. The video you reacted to used a really cheap rug, which detracted from the end result. The take away: make sure you use a rug you want to look at every day!
I'm here for your take on it with the shop & knowledge you've put together on your journey. Personally I would have use the anti slip mat material underneath just to keep it on a ridiculous theme but it's an awesome project. May be next time you can accidentally encase a dog toy or something on the top of the rug.
I think this format is perfectly fine make something then react. I think your method completely outclassed theirs with the exception of maybe the last step but the results were the same if not better.
Looks pretty cool! I think the only change I would make is to put the red fabric on the back of the rug at the beginning, as the final placement of it is a little weird. But that was something you had to figure out as you went! I would love more react videos, too. More everything!!!
All that work, I'm glad you used a nice looking rug to begin with. Your version of the table has so many design details that make it a lovely object. Great job.
I was thinking of a couple of videos by Blacktail Studio, specifically the denim table and the bent resin side table ones. First cast the fabric in a flat resin block, then leave it out in the sun and let the heat soften the block which allows it to be bent. Thought that could be an interesting approach to achieve a similar result.
Gorgeous. YEs the underside is important. Good shade of red )))) Gloss surface of wool rug is a surprise project. I'm very glad it is strong enough to carry your weight. What a disaster that would have been to crack.
Interesting, with a lovely result. I love watching videos of people making things, even things like this that I will never make myself, mainly because I don't have the tools nor the space and probably not the patience to wait days for something to dry.
You did an EXCELLENT JOB!! Now the rug.... it's seen better days, but you did an AMAZING job with that resin... I thought it was gonna be a disaster, but when you did the result shot of you sitting on it, it didn't even look like there was resin on it in some of the shot... it just looked like a stiff rug!!! (there's a dirty joke in there somewhere LOL)
Pretty cool - interesting to know how much $$$ resin for this project and if you sold it, if you made any profit. Thanks for doing this and letting us watch!
I haven’t watched the whole video yet, but I just like to say that you can get those round corners by using like birch and take a router and do channels in the one side and then if it’s wet it will, you can mold it over the edges of the table, my husband and I owned a custom cabinet company along long time ago and that’s how he did it when he made things was around corners he did beds dressers, all kinds of stuff good luck of course it’ll be done when I get back to video, and 2 that’s some mighty fancy equipment you got there wish we had that when we owned our company😊
Reaction videos would be great. Kudos to you for helping expand the audience of these other creators!!!! I encourage you to consider only being critical of your friends’ videos, knowing they are done in “roast” style. The arts community should be supportive, so no need to critique what strangers have done.
Thanks! And I agree it needs to be in good fun… I don’t know the axes garage folks, but they stopped by this video and thanked me for shouting them out
instead of using more resin after sanding, have you ever tried using a car paint polish or something similar that restores the clarity without having to babysit resin drips?
I wished u used a brighter colour or an LED strip or any light attached the bottom of the carpet shine through the fabric . To show the beauty of this carpet details. It will be amazing project . Magic carpet ❤
Having grown up in the Netherlands, I have seen rugs traditionally also used as decorative table top covers. I think it was historically also a way to show off one's financial status. But of course in modern times another waterproof table cloth would go over that when the table is in use. Would be a big project but cool if you made a small dining/kitchen table top with a rug that can seat 4 people.
Loved to know where you buy your resin & I like your rug better than the original. And the red cloth looked a million times better. Where did you purchase your rug and red cloth?
I think yours, being suspended between two layers of resin, looks more complete. However, they were able to keep the pile (the fibers) of the rug lifted, whereas in your example you flattened the pile down during the initial saturation process. That did concern me just a little while watching your approach. If I were to weigh one against the other with pros and cons… yours turned out better overall, in my opinion. Great job BTW
Although I realise that it wouldn’t be the most practical table, it would be cool with a version that still had the natural rug texture 😄 Maybe better suited as a bench? I see a rug glued on a thin (hidden) gfrc structure, totally on brand for this channel and kind of a flying carpet look in my mind 😁
I actually like the idea of reaction videos, especially with how you already like to show off and promote other fellow makers that you work with--could be a fun way of engaging with the community while propping up some other talented makers as well!
I am impressed ! That’s loads of work as well. Two thumbs up for the finished product and I liked how you viewed the other channel to see if there were easier ways of doing the project and how you could save money making the next one. Very cool
The rug I would not buy, but as a coffee table like this, as a acsent piece, I would though. I bad every rugcompany will order some too now 😅 good job ❤ 😎
Yep, they probably do what I do when I use resin. I use a polyurethane spray clear coat. It hardens the epoxy resin and protects it from UV and wear and tear. And yes it was the rug that looked yellow. Using an epoxy final coat isn't that big a deal, it's preference. I cost all my stuff in polyurethane for protection.
Really unique perfect, and I always love your willingness to show "mistakes" or unanticipated outcomes - and how to work through the problem solving stage. If you work with fabric in future perfect and want to have a finished edge, you can use a no-sew item from the sewing world - fusible web. You just sandwich it between layers of fabric, and iron to activate. Your carpet tape worked fine here, but if the (future) finished product needs to have a more delicate edge than tape allows, fusible webbing is the way to go! It's sold as narrow yardage on rolls, and wide yardage. Also, it's cheap!
I love it, I don't have any coffee tables, my wife was visually impaired and coffee tables were a hazard she didn't need. But I also don't really have space for one.
Not my style of furniture but appreciated the process and showing the difficulties. That's how we learn. Reaction videos would be good also as it is always interesting to have a different POV from people with some expertise that we, viewers, might be lacking.
Cool post, interesting. Next time you could put the back fabric on the form at the same time you do the rug material. Lay the right side face down on premade form ,do a soak layer of resin on it till satisfied,add your rug right side facing up on form add on your resin soak layer on till satisfied. Then proceed with the rest of your steps. Just an idea.😁
I think the one complaint i would have for both is the thickness of the top and sides aren't the same, and the radius of the bend isn't properly offset from the rug
I have seen guys make custom car speaker cabinets where they use that kind of form, but put a stretchy fabric over it, then they lay the resin soaked fiberglass on top. Perhaps taking a page from that might make the form with the curves you want.
I love resin! My junior high school offered Plastics as a “shop class” and I TA’d for the female teacher Kevin Sobray - she really made an impression on me. I wonder if her parents wanted a boy. I loved the smells and colors and all the machines. Especially the buffers! I love a glossy finish. Do you think if you painted the back side of the rug black you could have done without the fabric part on the underside of the table?
We have made a hood from carpet before. Then we tried it in denim fabric (custom orders)(These were orders that they saw from someone on UA-cam and requested from us.). We use varnish polish in all our products in the final processes of epoxy. Thus, we are exempt from doing a lot of work (transparent products). It's an easy method. But I always prefer sanding and oil application, it makes it more vibrant. By the way, we apply epoxy polish to the top layer instead of varnish on some products. Thus, it becomes a shiny surface like candy. In the coffee tables we made, the top was epoxy and fabric, and the bottom was wood, so we only worked with the top. It's crazy to try to make it all out of epoxy (: (We only produce and ship table tops in case they break in international cargo) Also as far as I have seen in the comments, they said to add color to the epoxy so that the epoxy does not yellow, but if you have special epoxy made, you will get rid of yellowing. We proportion our own epoxy according to our casting method and have it made. We do not buy from the market. Additionally, not every epoxy causes yellowing. Yellowing is a condition related to the drying of epoxy, its environment and the place where it is stored. I have sold over 10,000 units, and I have not yet received any complaints about yellowing.
I kinda feel like you viewed the UA-cam build before you actually made your table. Then made your table and did a reaction to the original vid. I could be wrong but that’s how I feel. Anyhow, the table you made looks better though. I thought It turned out to be something really special so props for that! 👍🏽
I think it would be interesting to do the curve the way Cam did, where he let it cure halfway and then bent it onto the form. Saves you the annoyance of building a complicated form. Dunno how well it would work with the actual rug in it though, would definitely want to do some small scale tests first
You can steam/wet your “bendy ply” and bend it along the grain so it doesn’t snap. Also how much time added to you CNC job cutting those reliefs? Jigsaw probably do it in 1/4 of time.

@@Ron-Ayres 2K = 2-component = 2-part (akin to epoxy or polyurethane casting resins). More durable than 1-part finish.

@ Hi!
Depending on what effect you need, you can mix the resin with translucent white liquid (alcohol based) AND white mica powder in addition. That should make it really white.
To be honest, basically all epoxy resins yellow over time, so you’ll get the best results when using “fresh” epoxy AND from a quality manufacturer.
Also:
I can say that UV-Resin (epoxy that hardens via UV light, not using 2nd component hardener) stays clearer. BUT you can’t add color AND harden it properly, if the object or surface is too large.
Summary:
I would use fresh, quality epoxy resin, adding mica white and alcohol white.
Hope that helped.

P.S.:
In case you’re meaning “clear” when saying “white” (which I actually accidentally did too)…besides adding some translucent blue (alcohol dye) and using fresh epoxy, there’s not much you can do.

That depends on the brand and type of epoxy being used as well as the ventilation of the space you pour in.

Thank you! Total boat just released a new formulation of Fathom with improved UV resistance, which is supposed to prevent yellowing. This is the first project. I’ve used it on, so I’m hoping it will do the trick.
Your determination and problem solving are amazing. The table is gorgeous.
Thank you!
*The table will bend through time, especially in warm rooms.*
So you should add some sort of wire support before adding the epoxy
Wow. thats pretty cool!
It's been said, and I agree: pure react/roast videos aren't it. The way this entire video went is. Blind build the inspiration then compare methods after. It was a cool design idea that you put your own spin on and turned out great.
I enjoyed the reaction video after you finished the project. Great job!
I like this project a lot, and it turned out great. One suggestion: while the carpet tape seems to have worked really well, an easier way to fold and adhere fabric is "fusible web". It's heat activated, so you can move things around until you're happy with it, then press with an iron to activate the web. Beautiful table - wish I had room in my studio to give it a try myself.
My studio does MUCH smaller projects, but we learned a while ago to go with a varnish coat on almost everything we make. What we noticed is that, if something were put up against the project by accident, etc, the varnish kept the piece clean, no scratches or marks. And on some things we actually use a clear finishing wax because it does the same th(ng and can be easily buffed with a microfiber and more wax applied. The sheen doesn’t seem to disappear, either.
This is so good. I love how you always show any minor issues you have with projects and how you overcome them. Really useful
After seeing you sit on the table, I like this way better as a bench than a coffee table. I feel like this kind of pattern would work better as insert in a framed top on a more traditionally designed coffee table.
I love it! I always love your videos. You don't try to hide your mistakes. You always leave them in and show how you did or would correct the process. It makes this channel not only entertaining, and informative, but very instructional as well. No wonder you are close to having a million followers. Thanks for being real!
Yes a Nanajo blanet, dining table top!! You did an Awesome Job!! Really like the fabric bottom finish, high end.
This man is single-handedly keeping Total Boat in business.
Him and blacktail
@@ironklad9213 don't forget about FourEyes Furniture & John Malecki
This was probably very expensive.
I know this is a joke but you’d be amazed at how much resin boat builders use.
And that one channel with the husband and wife
I enjoyed watching the process. I made a few rudimentary resin topped pieces in the early 70's: bookcase and a coffee table. Didn't have the tools like you have and had to lay plastic over the resin to form a super smooth top.
Since you asked, I've subbed for many years, since long before the move. I love your channel, and your builds. I've been inspired in a lot of my own projects by yours. That's why I watch your channel, to see your work, your process and to be inspired. Nothing inspiring about roasting builds that come from the hearts and hands of other creators, regardless if they're pears, big channels, or no names. I felt bad for that guy, and I would have been proud of my finished product and the video if I were him. If I were him, and I subbed to your channel, and saw you basically "ew mine's better" every step of his process, I wouldn't have been pretty hurt, and then angry. You ask if that's something we'd like more of in the future. I can't speak for everyone else, but that was the first time I've ever, in many years, felt negative about your video and lost a tiny bit of respect for you there. You're usually so positive and uplifting, I don't imagine that's how that guy is feeling about you right now. I'm sure a ton of people show up in your comments and crap all over your builds. I hope that wouldn't drive you to put the same negativity out into the universe as they do. Even if he shows up and says it was fine, and that it didn't bother him, that's him personally, and let's be honest, we would all say that to save face, regardless how we actually felt. Heaven forbid people have feelings anymore, the internet might have a melt down.
I apologize if it came off that way, I really didn’t mean it to… perhaps you tuned away before the end, but I wrapped it up by saying, I thought the project was overall super cool, and I was inspired by it.
@modustrial no. I saw that. If that's my video I'm not enjoying myself up to that point, and then hearing it was cool at the end was a given, right? It wouldn't have been any consolation. On top of that, how can you be inspired by something you saw after you completed yours, and found to be lesser? That moment of acknowledgment at the end felt obligatory and fake, but inly because saying it's cool after bashing it is obligatory, and saying you were inspired by something post production comes off as fake. Know what I mean? I'm not crapping on you, and you don't owe anybody an apology for expressing your opinions. You have every right to. I was just giving feedback because you asked and I'm being honest. I still love your channel and this doesn't change anything, I just felt really bad for the guy for a part of the video and then grimaced when you did the right thing and tried to make up for it. Also, I'm just 1 guy. I don't represent the majority, and if you give it a bit, there will be people along to bash me for saying anything, and the internet, UA-cam and the world will keep spinning.😊❤
I'm not sure if I watched the same video you did. He plainly said at the beginning of his video that he saw the table on Instagram and was inspired by it. Then, in the middle, while he was editing his video he was made aware of the video where the table was made. I also did not hear a single thing that made me feel "ew mine is better". In fact, he was watching to see if they did things in an easier way that he did and commented about all of the similarities in the process. He even has tool envy with the laser cutter.
@ssteele1812 strange that you would think us watching the same video would mean that at its conclusion we would share the same opinions of it. I commented because he asked for our thoughts. He's also smart enough he wouldn't have asked us to debate the undebateable, each other's opinions of the video. Regardless what your own personal thoughts are about the video, they're yours, and they're between you and him.
@modustrial watching your reaction was like watching my dad give feedback, lots of criticism and at the end, something like, "you're a good kid." Please don't do reaction videos 😅😅😅😅
Make a bunch of small resin pillars or a side resin frame, then put the rug over it and do the pour, but make sure the outer frame is slightly bigger than the rug so it can fill underneath the rug, then you'll have a rug floating in the Middle of the resin and you wont have to worry about covering underneath the resin rug table, you can just sand it and spray a clear coat and your good to go... just sharing an idea..
Very cool result! As I was watching, I was also thinking that the epoxy & rug combo might make an interesting inset top to a wooden table. Probably a ton easier to make, too.
Great idea covering the bottom in red fabric. The end result is amazing! If you had to charge for such table, how much would for one like this?
It takes more time but there's a "perfect finish" to the bottom: just create a blank resin-only table (same shape of the finished), then put the rug on top of it and cover it with resin (as you've done). That way the back will look perfect and you'll have some material in case you want it shiny too; and you won't have to fight to remove the structure from rug (with the risk of damaging it).
Sitting here with two questions. Has anyone put the carpet under vacuum for the first application & has anyone used a black light to indentify bubbles when they torch them?
I think the vacuum could create a better bond and stinger less flexible first application. I bet you could knock down a lot of mass by vacuum chambering both the vaccum for first applicetin and the resin thereafter.
I liked the video and the product. The title says it's a resin rug table but sitting on it, it could be a bench, which while either is a unique feature in any home. I don't know what a product would sell for or the costs of the materials, time & labor is, but depending on usage and time, I'm curious about the long-term durability of either. My older brother was a surfer in his young days, making his own boards, like a craftsman enjoys making their own things to enjoy. I did notice that time, heat, usage, on a resin board age and eventually starts to crack, so depending on the owner putting too much weight, or heat will take its toll, but until then, I hopes the owners enjoys it for such a beautiful & functional art furniture.
Then they can throw it away and it will last for centuries in landfill
Very cool project. With all that work, it’s a good idea to use a rug you really like. The video you reacted to used a really cheap rug, which detracted from the end result. The take away: make sure you use a rug you want to look at every day!
I'm here for your take on it with the shop & knowledge you've put together on your journey. Personally I would have use the anti slip mat material underneath just to keep it on a ridiculous theme but it's an awesome project. May be next time you can accidentally encase a dog toy or something on the top of the rug.
I think this format is perfectly fine make something then react. I think your method completely outclassed theirs with the exception of maybe the last step but the results were the same if not better.
I love rugs and turning one into a table is a great idea. I agree that the inside/underside needs coverage. Happy holidays.
Looks pretty cool! I think the only change I would make is to put the red fabric on the back of the rug at the beginning, as the final placement of it is a little weird. But that was something you had to figure out as you went! I would love more react videos, too. More everything!!!
Good idea!
Love the red contrast. Yrs was wayyy better!! So cool. Never thought to put material with resin and make a table out of it. Loved it. 😊
I have this rug from At Home. I knew it looked familiar! What a cool project.
The Louboutin red under siding is so hot! 😍
All that work, I'm glad you used a nice looking rug to begin with. Your version of the table has so many design details that make it a lovely object. Great job.
Love it! I would have used a neutral linen or burlap on the under side. There are endless ideas!!❤
I was thinking of a couple of videos by Blacktail Studio, specifically the denim table and the bent resin side table ones. First cast the fabric in a flat resin block, then leave it out in the sun and let the heat soften the block which allows it to be bent. Thought that could be an interesting approach to achieve a similar result.
Gorgeous. YEs the underside is important. Good shade of red )))) Gloss surface of wool rug is a surprise project. I'm very glad it is strong enough to carry your weight. What a disaster that would have been to crack.
Interesting, with a lovely result. I love watching videos of people making things, even things like this that I will never make myself, mainly because I don't have the tools nor the space and probably not the patience to wait days for something to dry.
You are unique and talented. Love watching
thank you!
You did an EXCELLENT JOB!! Now the rug.... it's seen better days, but you did an AMAZING job with that resin... I thought it was gonna be a disaster, but when you did the result shot of you sitting on it, it didn't even look like there was resin on it in some of the shot... it just looked like a stiff rug!!! (there's a dirty joke in there somewhere LOL)
Amazing work. Your patience and rev-eng are commended. Also, the fabric underside pops great. Bravo dude.
Pretty cool - interesting to know how much $$$ resin for this project and if you sold it, if you made any profit. Thanks for doing this and letting us watch!
$1500 in resin, have not tried to sell it yet
I haven’t watched the whole video yet, but I just like to say that you can get those round corners by using like birch and take a router and do channels in the one side and then if it’s wet it will, you can mold it over the edges of the table, my husband and I owned a custom cabinet company along long time ago and that’s how he did it when he made things was around corners he did beds dressers, all kinds of stuff good luck of course it’ll be done when I get back to video, and 2 that’s some mighty fancy equipment you got there wish we had that when we owned our company😊
Reaction videos would be great. Kudos to you for helping expand the audience of these other creators!!!! I encourage you to consider only being critical of your friends’ videos, knowing they are done in “roast” style. The arts community should be supportive, so no need to critique what strangers have done.
Thanks! And I agree it needs to be in good fun… I don’t know the axes garage folks, but they stopped by this video and thanked me for shouting them out
instead of using more resin after sanding, have you ever tried using a car paint polish or something similar that restores the clarity without having to babysit resin drips?
I wished u used a brighter colour or an LED strip or any light attached the bottom of the carpet shine through the fabric . To show the beauty of this carpet details. It will be amazing project . Magic carpet ❤
I think it turned out really cool. I like how you incorporated your "reaction video" into the build video. Keeping it real. 😀
Having grown up in the Netherlands, I have seen rugs traditionally also used as decorative table top covers. I think it was historically also a way to show off one's financial status. But of course in modern times another waterproof table cloth would go over that when the table is in use.
Would be a big project but cool if you made a small dining/kitchen table top with a rug that can seat 4 people.
Cool idea!
You don’t use a respirator? Beautiful work . I like how you finished under the table. Great craftsmanship
Another AMAZING table Mike! We loved watching you reverse engineer this piece. 🔥🔥💙💙
Thank you!!
Loved to know where you buy your resin & I like your rug better than the original. And the red cloth looked a million times better. Where did you purchase your rug and red cloth?
Came out incredible. Really like people that have a creative side. Thumbs up! Love videos like this.
I think yours, being suspended between two layers of resin, looks more complete. However, they were able to keep the pile (the fibers) of the rug lifted, whereas in your example you flattened the pile down during the initial saturation process. That did concern me just a little while watching your approach. If I were to weigh one against the other with pros and cons… yours turned out better overall, in my opinion.
Great job BTW
Although I realise that it wouldn’t be the most practical table, it would be cool with a version that still had the natural rug texture 😄 Maybe better suited as a bench?
I see a rug glued on a thin (hidden) gfrc structure, totally on brand for this channel and kind of a flying carpet look in my mind 😁
I actually like the idea of reaction videos, especially with how you already like to show off and promote other fellow makers that you work with--could be a fun way of engaging with the community while propping up some other talented makers as well!
I am impressed ! That’s loads of work as well. Two thumbs up for the finished product and I liked how you viewed the other channel to see if there were easier ways of doing the project and how you could save money making the next one. Very cool
The rug I would not buy, but as a coffee table like this, as a acsent piece, I would though. I bad every rugcompany will order some too now 😅 good job ❤ 😎
Yep, they probably do what I do when I use resin. I use a polyurethane spray clear coat. It hardens the epoxy resin and protects it from UV and wear and tear. And yes it was the rug that looked yellow. Using an epoxy final coat isn't that big a deal, it's preference. I cost all my stuff in polyurethane for protection.
Very neat idea had not heard of this but i cant believe how much resin it took, that is one very expensive table. Did love your video.
Really unique perfect, and I always love your willingness to show "mistakes" or unanticipated outcomes - and how to work through the problem solving stage.
If you work with fabric in future perfect and want to have a finished edge, you can use a no-sew item from the sewing world - fusible web. You just sandwich it between layers of fabric, and iron to activate. Your carpet tape worked fine here, but if the (future) finished product needs to have a more delicate edge than tape allows, fusible webbing is the way to go! It's sold as narrow yardage on rolls, and wide yardage. Also, it's cheap!
Thanks! And good tip!
I think the Rug Table you did was awesome 💯
I think this was really cool. This piece almost seems like a good item to have as a giveaway, if you decide to do that in the near future.
Good idea! Shipping would be a pain, but maybe we can find a way to
I love it, I don't have any coffee tables, my wife was visually impaired and coffee tables were a hazard she didn't need. But I also don't really have space for one.
Not my style of furniture but appreciated the process and showing the difficulties. That's how we learn. Reaction videos would be good also as it is always interesting to have a different POV from people with some expertise that we, viewers, might be lacking.
I love it! You did a great job! ❤
A tua ficou sem dúvidas muito mais bonita, principalmente por causa do interior vermelho.❤❤❤❤
Cool post, interesting. Next time you could put the back fabric on the form at the same time you do the rug material. Lay the right side face down on premade form ,do a soak layer of resin on it till satisfied,add your rug right side facing up on form add on your resin soak layer on till satisfied. Then proceed with the rest of your steps. Just an idea.😁
Nice table. The red backing works well. Is it possible to spray epoxy? Maybe an airless sprayer could do it.
I think the one complaint i would have for both is the thickness of the top and sides aren't the same, and the radius of the bend isn't properly offset from the rug
17:25 Why didn't you run tape all along that drip edge to keep the epoxy from curling under?
I have seen guys make custom car speaker cabinets where they use that kind of form, but put a stretchy fabric over it, then they lay the resin soaked fiberglass on top. Perhaps taking a page from that might make the form with the curves you want.
I love resin! My junior high school offered Plastics as a “shop class” and I TA’d for the female teacher Kevin Sobray - she really made an impression on me. I wonder if her parents wanted a boy. I loved the smells and colors and all the machines. Especially the buffers! I love a glossy finish.
Do you think if you painted the back side of the rug black you could have done without the fabric part on the underside of the table?
It's beautiful, I think i would like to have two rugs . So it's as beautiful underneath as on top.
WOW!!! Sooooo much work!! The outcome is FABULOUS!!!
Thank you!
I’m happy to have watched you create this. I wouldn’t have understood the mission without the visual. VERY NICE!!!
Thanks!!
well, as usual, you do experiment. this came out very nice. good job. more of these would be great.
We have made a hood from carpet before. Then we tried it in denim fabric (custom orders)(These were orders that they saw from someone on UA-cam and requested from us.). We use varnish polish in all our products in the final processes of epoxy. Thus, we are exempt from doing a lot of work (transparent products). It's an easy method. But I always prefer sanding and oil application, it makes it more vibrant. By the way, we apply epoxy polish to the top layer instead of varnish on some products. Thus, it becomes a shiny surface like candy. In the coffee tables we made, the top was epoxy and fabric, and the bottom was wood, so we only worked with the top. It's crazy to try to make it all out of epoxy (: (We only produce and ship table tops in case they break in international cargo) Also as far as I have seen in the comments, they said to add color to the epoxy so that the epoxy does not yellow, but if you have special epoxy made, you will get rid of yellowing. We proportion our own epoxy according to our casting method and have it made. We do not buy from the market. Additionally, not every epoxy causes yellowing. Yellowing is a condition related to the drying of epoxy, its environment and the place where it is stored. I have sold over 10,000 units, and I have not yet received any complaints about yellowing.
I kinda feel like you viewed the UA-cam build before you actually made your table. Then made your table and did a reaction to the original vid. I could be wrong but that’s how I feel.
Anyhow, the table you made looks better though. I thought It turned out to be something really special so props for that! 👍🏽
The resin really makes the colors pop!
What a beautiful finished piece! Great job persevering through the setbacks
I think it would be interesting to do the curve the way Cam did, where he let it cure halfway and then bent it onto the form. Saves you the annoyance of building a complicated form. Dunno how well it would work with the actual rug in it though, would definitely want to do some small scale tests first
Also, quite difficult to do in the middle of Chicago winter :) he did it in full summer sun…
Love this project. Stunning ❤
This was a really cool project and the red fabric bottom was a very nice finishing touch!
The table turned out beautiful. Love the fabric bottom. I would subscribe to a maker reaction channel.
Looks great, would be cool to find a way where the rug was more suspended in resin, with equal parts on either side
You can steam/wet your “bendy ply” and bend it along the grain so it doesn’t snap. Also how much time added to you CNC job cutting those reliefs? Jigsaw probably do it in 1/4 of time.
Rug in epoxy...wonderful idea!
You have perfect machines to arrived your's working super and i am siet in your's video the table arrived very cleaning .👍👍
