In this video I used epoxy to first fix table wobble. Then to make it look like the same table was floating or levitating. I had this idea when I was building a dining table a few weeks back. I needed to fix table wobble which is a pretty common woodworking problem. And I had the idea to fix it with epoxy, wondering if it would be more inconspicuous. That actually worked really well, so from there I took it to the extreme.

The epoxy feet are a great add on for outdoor furniture to prevent water wicking up into the feet and eventually rotting out. Plus, the epoxy is less likely to scratch a deck or patio surface than other hardware solutions. Thanks for the great idea!
Ooohhh!! Good point!!! I LIKE that idea
"Amish and offended? Email me" put me on the ground.
Good sense of humor Chris 😂
In my projects I can usually achieve the "one floating leg" naturally, without having to chop a bit of the leg off 🙂
me 😂😂😂🤣 @ 20:45… “I’ve been to stores before… I could do it again… 💭💭💭 they probably have some other good stuff at stores that I could use…” I’m going to say this to myself the next time I have to make, yet another trip to “the stores” for a project. Anyhow- really loved this experimental build. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏼🖤
I thought the ‘No Blinking’ effect was what made the video.
And the table was pretty slick.
That was hilarious!
This video isn't 100% about wood so I'm going to complain and question your integrity
Really nice idea man. Also the guitar with is lovely in the background.
SUGGESTION: Maybe just raise the ground under the short leg. . ?
Then. Anytime you move the table, you only have to raise a very small part of the planet up to the not-touching leg. Simple.
Maybe the funniest ad read ever. Love it. Also, thanks for showing us the process.
The new, less-scripted style of the video is way better! It feels more genuine and more relatable!
Tbh after watching for almost a year these guys are like a walking 3d printers coz of how smooth they work and they make wood work look more like paper origami.
As someone else noted, all epoxy yellows.
Still useful, wood whisperer did it on outdoor furniture to prevent moisture wicking.
I built two Paul Sellers dining tables, scaled down to German Shepard height, and did 1/4" epoxy "feet" on them years ago and they work great.
To make, flipped table over, circled blue tape around tapered ends, added just the epoxy needed and then used rasp and sanding to level, shape, and clean up.
If you and Bourbon Moth ever did a collaboration… the dry jokes would be endless and I’d be laughing most of the video.
Chris builds a beautiful piece of furniture, then bashes its beauty the entire video. I would love to be able to produce something half as good looking as this shelf haha
Rounded shelves in rounded dados look really good!
If you "cut" the dado a bit deeper than its radius you should overcome the stability problem you had in the dry fit.
I was thinking the same sort of thing: depth of cut of the dado needs to be (slightly) greater than the radius of the router bit.
Dude I love this Chris. The first half is just you building a really cool piece that's totally outside of what you'd typically design. THEN it gets to the fun! Love it
The floating effect is super cool.
I think this would be amazing as a stand for trailing plants. I find the epoxy feet interesting, but I'd want the epoxy to be as crystal clear as possible to really enhance the effect. Thank you for taking us along on this adventure!
I really enjoyed the “live” thought by thought of your approach.
What if… you put a delete wraps of tape around the feet and then cast them in some kind of mold (plaster of Paris?) …the cut the feet down, then use your mold to cast the epoxy.
I've missed the trademark Foureyes video style. Thanks
Whoa! @24:10, it DOES look like it's floating!!! Nice job!
You didn't blink for ages!! What are you, superhuman???
The rounded edges and the whole assembly reminds me of the chairs we bought for our kids, TRIPTRAP chairs by Stokke, you can use them for toddlers up to when the kids are older.
I absolutely love the slightly silly floating legs and I would totally do this. In fact, I may go find a table to refinish, cut the legs off near the bottom, and make them float. Thanks!
19:18 You did it! They’re levitating!
That actually looks cool. Be good for an entry table- get people to do a double take
Those rounded dados are FIRE! Nice idea!
GG on the pants dude. Killing it.
I dont know if anyone ever mentions it but I love your sneaker choices. great taste!
Super cool approach. But where I live many of the houses are hundreds of years old (mine is from 1750 but rebuild in 1929) and very few have totally flat floors. I either don't worry at all about making legs perfectly flat, because if you move the furniture it will wobble on a different leg. The best option are simply screw/adjustable feet to keep them always free for adjusting. Always enjoy your videos and designs though!! Thanks for sharing.
The second best option is to only make 3-legged furniture.
Omfg, the intro xD
“for the opening of this video, here’s a six second shot of one of your nightmares”
I felt it so hard
That is actually a really good idea.
Fun experiment 👍👏 Peter Brown recently talked about e-poxy yellowing - maybe there's an extension experiment there in matching wood selection so it remains intentional looking over time 🤔
i dont know why when i go to toilet, i alway turn your video on.
It's a testament to your skill how beautiful this piece was the entire time you made it even though it was just experimental. Definitely loved the thought process going through all of this.
Also, the floating effect is pretty great :D
Honestly the floating appearance of the piece is fantastic. It might have been easier with silicone molds.
Alright. I admit that I usually forward through ads but I actually had to go back and watch your eyes floating around lmao
would have been neat to see the middle shelves still able to slide, so they could be set unaligned from the top & bottom shelves. So you could potentially put something a bit taller on those shelves
but yes, having clear epoxy on the ends is an awesome looking addition
100% agree. It's is gimmicky, but worth the experiment. Also agree, the rounded dado with shelves came out pretty cool, so worth trying that on another piece for sure. I'm actually playing with epoxy now to preserve a Pokemon oreo cookie for my daughter. It doesn't matter if it is a gimmick if it makes someone happy, so glad you showed me some techniques we can try.
This is very cool! I love this video so much...thank you for walking us through the process.
Love the rounded edges and really love the floating !
Sweet project man. I dig embracing the roundness to this degree. "Spend more time and not use a cup." 😂
Great video, Chris~! You never cease to amaze me with your creativity....your use of epoxy/resin with woodworking, wearing pants at the table saw (Thank You), etc... Also pretty cool to see the aftermath of the Great Epoxy Meltdown~!
I’d be willing to guess that, using your CNC to cut and dado the legs, is partially why it came out so well balanced, and without the typical wobble of a traditionally designed four legged table. It allowed for you to get more acquainted with your creation than it usually does, by assembling it, and making sure the two center shelves were a nice fit throughout the dry. Wonderful thinking, it looks like you got some true enjoyment from this creation, especially since it didn’t go quite as planned. Nice work!
Kinda reminds me of those old tables that had brass claws holding glass orbs as feet.
Wait, what? That sounds incredible!
@@team_rex Yeah, Victorian parlor tables. They're pretty cool.
I love this idea. An eyecatcher for sure. Will try this myself!
Really liked the effect much more than I expected. The process, though, is the most enjoyable.
Love this episode. The filleted edges are awesome. Definitely has the essence of vintage oak furniture, with a fresh approach. You could possibly try a Shou Sugi Ban finish on a project that doesn’t utilize resin. Be prepped for the char dust, may need to do light sanding and polishing outside on cardboard for that approach. Seal the char after polishing as well. Much love y’all. Keep it goin
Interesting experiment, Chris. What's with throwing scraps on the floor? What happened to scrapsketball?
Bill
good ideas, i like creativity even if it doesn't turn out what it's supposed to
Very interesting and practical, fixing problems!
This is definitely not a bad piece of furniture. In fact, I like it
love the outcome!
Bro., it does look like it's kinda floating!!! Was cool to see the process. Hoping all is well guys, Dirty Jersey out!!!
Loved everything!
ohhhh I've been waiting WEEEKS for this one Chris
Howzit Gents, that bull-nose round-over bit is a cove bit. First encountered it on a table top that required a smooth transition from top to a small 'wall' around said top. Very handy on cnc because of the fact one can get a much bigger cutting diameter than say a bull-nose bit, (dia of shaft, most often).
What kind of flannels? That one your wearing looks heavy and durable. Also, I love the feet to be honest. Overall, great build
Chris, great stuff. I guess there is a tip that can help you next time to "secure" the epoxy chunks to the end grain wood: before filling the epoxy chunk glasses, turn your table upside down; then, try drilling a hole (maybe 3/4" depth x Ø 1/2") on each leg end. This hole, once filled in with epoxy, will work as a tenon. Before epoxy dries, turn your table upside down again, and proceed the epoxy glasses filling.
Fairly cool, I find it interesting. Keep it up 👍
Excelente idea... Y muy bien ejecutada, como siempre...!!! Muchas gracias por compartir... Saludos desde Uruguay...!!!
Looks cool!
it looks very cool
Thanks for sharing this experiment. My architecture hero, Glenn Murcutt, once stated that he was never a fan of curves meeting curves as he felt it made a building too "syrupy." But with this design, you're using quite crisp lines and getting away with it. It's a fun piece.
As for lining up the shelves, try a blue tape centre line marker for the top one, then use a plumb bob!
And thank you for wearing pants. Really. Safety is important.
nice job , i love it
So- i have watched a lot of your videos now- and i have to say i enjoy your dry wit - im not a fan of mid century modern per se but i am a minimalist and i do like a lot of the techniques you share.
All that chocolate aside- i subscribed based on THIS video. I think it is my favorite (and im contemplating a copy of it) up to and including the feet. I guess one man's 'not so nice gimmick' is another woman's 'perfect piece'!
Keep it up and- thanks for keeping it real.
I appreciate that. You might be the first person who sourced this as their favorite :)
Good Job Brother.
very impressive ad read
I always enjoy the creativity in you and Shaun’s ideas/designs. Very nice piece! What did you use to stain the wood black? I’ve used an iron solution to ebonize oak but it’s very inconsistent across other species.
Neat video Chris
I can think of 2 other versions of this table. One with epoxy shelves so you just see floating black legs or a second version with full epoxy legs and (really) floating black shelves. But yes, I realize that’s a lot of epoxy...
And the pants reference led me to a name for your “art piece”: Flood Pants.
Epoxy shelves? How about glass? ;) Or could use 1 inch thick plexiglass to cut the legs from.
@@paulkozowyk Oh! I was sticking with the whole wood vs epoxy choice in my head, but that would work too!
I think this floating shelf looks great.
I really like this break in the normal format! Reminds me of the 2nd channel😊
Cool J's! Won’t tell the sneakerheads, you’re getting roasted for sure using these gems as work shoes.
Liked for the 21 pumps.
The floating effect is excellent.
What about plaster molds for the resin leg-extensions? You could first make the full leg in wood, cover the last tip with sth like film, stand them into cups filled with plaster, then remove legs and film, chop off the tips, and proceed filling in with resin, etc. avoiding the cup melting mess ;)
I started dying laughing with that Simplisafe sponsor ad 🤣
I dig it.
The floating aspect is nifty. Have you considered making sections of the legs out of epoxy as well to make higher shelves appear to be levitating? Like perhaps having a section mid leg be "invisible"? Maybe that's more of a gimmick than you'd be into.
he did a video where he did that, and a video where they replaced the joinery/dominos/buscuits with epoxy.. about middle of last year I think ?
One way you could possibly pour the epoxy instead of using cups you could use silicone ice cube molds.
Nice Jordan 4’s!!!
A thought about the issue with aligning all these half-circles: perhaps, something like putting in some domino holes in it before cutting the dados and rounding shelves over would help?
That’s the devil’s work Jebadiah! 🤣
That actually looks really cool just floating in the air like that. I'm definitely going to have to experiment with clear appoxy feet on a project 👍👍👍👍
I enjoyed watching this video. I absolutely love the table, the floating aspect and rounded edges which is my aesthetic. Is it for sale? I would love to have this piece of furniture. 😊
Great job with the pants 👖👏
If you could pour epoxy that looks like brass you could emulate that mid century modern look of a walnut piece with brass feet. That might be kinda cool.
I wonder if you color matched the epoxy to the background color if that would help hide the epoxy parts more. might be tricky to get the color matching right though.
Do you use sharpies to mark because it looks better on camera? It seems like such a thick line and doesn’t it feather?
How about setting your main poured cup in a bigger secondary cup with a bit of water to prevent the main cup from melting/leaking?
Man this was FUN
Btw, I would named the table "wet socks" (2021)
There was a guy on a channel that flipped his outdoor furniture upside down and wrapped the ends of his legs in tape, and poured about a quarter inch pad of epoxy onto the legs and let it harden and then peeled the tape. It keeps the wood of the furniture off of the ground so it doesn’t absorb water. I wish I remember what channel that was from, but I do not remember now.
Lincoln Street did this.
So, for a laugh …
Try listening to 4:25 through 5:35 with your eyes closed, and try to not focus on what it’s actually about (from already watching it)
So confusing, but funny 😆
The last time I was this early, the internet hadn't been invented yet!
This felt like an episode of Top Gear.
Is bamboo a good desk surface?
Mould around the leg before cutting it, then pour in the mould?
Nice Union 4s
If you have a table with 4 even legs and it is wobbly because of an uneven floor, you can rotate it in such a way that it will not wobble. "The Wobbly Table Theorem" works every time, even if it means the table is pointing in a stupid direction.
Every time, except that there is no guarantee that the coincidences between a flat plane and an irregular surface occur in suitable relative positions to match your feet.
This episode has a ‘this old house’ vibe about it.
