I have to say, I have seen loads of skeptics (mainly from our woodworking community) when it comes to epoxy tables but yourself and few others really produce beautiful furniture. There is no denying the high quality craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing.
That was a LOT of work, but the end result was certainly worth it. That was an amazingly figured / colored piece of wood you started with. I can only imagine your reaction as the finish went on and the hidden character came out in the light. Well Done!
I got all the festool tools too..except I made the choice for the Makita track saw , instead of the festool. Great tools. On my bigger pieces ..I take it to get planed and drum sanded to 220. Monster machine. Then I can start my work
A great way to turn something that might have been scrapped into a table with history. I’m in the process of taking a large (2.1m x 700mm/1000mm) slab of London Plane into a table. As well as the channels that your piece had, my slab has dips of upto 15mm across the surface. As my slab is only 45mm thick (already planed down from 65mm), I don’t want to plane off anymore to get a more even surface. I have filled the various shakes, splits and channels with resin (using pigmented resin upto about 3mm from the surface, then resin mixed with at least 50%bronze powder to complete the fill). I’ve had a hiatus in the build due to an operation but, when I get back, my plan is to caulk around the edge of the slab (sloping edges and very curved shapes) and then flood the surface so that it gets a resin coating but that might vary from 3mm (slab high spot) to 20mm (slab low spot). I would be very interested in any comment about this method. Any suggestions about a better way would be very much welcomed.
Absolutely magnificent job, fellas. 👍🏽 Beautiful natural look and feel, love it! 👌🏽 Hope you and the family have an awesome Xmas🎄 Cheers for 2020 stellar uploads.
Have you ever heard of Slabmizer from Wood-Mizer? I am very sure this machine would fit perfectly in your shop and save you a lot of time flatten these massive boards. I really enjoy your work. Stay safe and greetings from Germany!
Andy - I have had the same thoughts as well. Your time is likely far better spent doing something/anything other than flattening slabs. It’s one tool that would likely pay for itself very quickly. Love your videos mate! I look forward to them every week. This table looks awesome! What did you use to kill the wood worm? Enjoy the holidays and stay safe!
I have the same comment, maybe he is promoting the youtoo router sled, but the physical effort with this manual sled is too much, compared with a CNC surface cutter both initial and after resin pouring. I also may suggest to try Rubio monocoat 2c oil, is also a huge time saver.
Hey Andy. Table looks great and I am all about the sustainability aspect of this type of woodworking. Repurposing or reclaiming not only helps the environment, but it also gives a new life and a unique story to these pieces. What did you use for the wood worms? I have some threshing boards from an 1800’s barn that has some worms.
i watched many live edge end grain slab coffee table with epoxy resin videos (at least 20 projects), because i have a couple of freshly cut slabs and wanted to learn the how to. this video is so far the very best!! also i like the end result a lot, i mean a LOT lot! :) beautiful table, beautiful slab! you probably mentioned these, but i could not catch, so please let me ask them: 1. what kind of tree is that? maple maybe? 2. since how long it was cut? how much time did it need to be dry enough? 3. what was the minimum and maximum of sanding? for example 120-400 ? 4. what kind of finish do you use? type or exact brand+type 5. what did you pour at 10:00 ? thanks a lot! :)
Dumb question, but is English Chestnut sweet or horse chestnut? Cracking table and channel by the way. Could the cookie have been roughly levelled with a chainsaw mill first? Or might it have ripped the edges off?
Sweet chestnut ! I do have a chainsaw mil just couldn’t risk clients slab. Take it slow and keep flipping it on a Rota Slade is the best way to achieve maximum thickness

Wow. Bet there were tears when you handed it over, looks phenomenal.
Incredible work on this massive table.
That was a LOT of work, but the end result was certainly worth it. That was an amazingly figured / colored piece of wood you started with. I can only imagine your reaction as the finish went on and the hidden character came out in the light.
Well Done!
Stunning, the finish is just perfect for that grain. Great job Andy.
Just awesome work again Andy nothing leaves your shop unless it is PERFECT
Such a beautiful piece of wood, combined expertly with the resin. Great job.
Thanks for inspiration. I have just cut my first cookie from a beech tree. A little larger than this. Now I wait for the drying to complete
I have used a lot of different finishes for my tables. Odie's is one of my favorites! Well done!

Fantastic 👏👏👏👏
SUPER!!!!
Stunning table.
Have you considered a CNC for flattening slabs? I would have thought the amount of time it would free you up would be considerable.

Cheers , I can’t remember the make but you need a License to buy it
Wow! Amazing job. If you don't mind me asking, What kind of wood is that... some beautiful spalting
Spotted beach thank you

you probably mentioned these, but i could not catch, so please let me ask them:
1. what kind of tree is that? maple maybe?
2. since how long it was cut? how much time did it need to be dry enough?
3. what was the minimum and maximum of sanding? for example 120-400 ?
4. what kind of finish do you use? type or exact brand+type
5. what did you pour at 10:00 ?
thanks a lot! :)
Sounds like Patreon questions :) .. join the small group and we can share questions while helping me make these videos.
Cracking table... but missed what the finish was, and how does it compare with Osmo?
Odies oil

What color resin and brand did you use?
What was that large festool sander you were using on the top?

Чудово!
Do you have a video on your flattening sled?
Yes he does.

I think u need a helper and I am free lol
I dont want to be this Person, but when you Sand epoxy you should really wear a respirator :/
Still a great video with valueable information! Thanks!
GlassCast is fine , you just need good machines and extraction !
@@ManorWood thanks for the headsup. I am always wearing a respirator, but this is just me and mine doesnt really bother me!
Pretty ugly piece of wood for all that work, but I guess sentimental value is powerful...
