    Great table! Did you design the legs or have someone build them?

      Hello, The table legs were built by Wisco Metal Works. Here’s a link to his site if you’d like to check it out. Thanks for watching and commenting!!

    Where did you get those legs? They are beautiful

      I had them made by a local company. At least local to me. Here’s a link to his website if you want to check out his work. He makes all kinds of cool stuff.

    Nice build, do you still like the dust collection setup on your router sled ? Would you change anything? Thinking about building a similar one !

    • @Idealwoodworks
      @Idealwoodworks  Рік тому

      Hey, thanks for watching! After doing the upgrades to the dust collection, which is what was in that video; yes I’m happy with it. One tip, I found that it’s best to make the cuts pulling towards myself rather than pushing the sled away from me. This causes the dust to fly towards the dust collection.

    Amazingly beautiful project. For those of us considering this type of work but not wanting to break the bank, could you share what you sold it for?

    • @Idealwoodworks
      @Idealwoodworks  Рік тому

      Hello, thanks for the kind words! I’m not real comfortable stating publicly what my customer paid for this so I’ll just tell you this.
      Price will vary based on how you source your wood, epoxy, and legs. I was able to find these slabs at a local Amish lumber yard. The slabs were perfectly dried and less than half of the cost of another local supplier. Calculate your epoxy at 100.00 per gallon. I buy super clear epoxy, they have sales often so you’ll pay less than that. And get a price for your legs. These were made by a local shop; quite a bit more than buying online but far superior quality. Then you just have to decide what you want to make for your time.

    Nice work! 2 questions, what do you have for your dust collector? And what brand epoxy are you using?

    • @Idealwoodworks
      @Idealwoodworks  Рік тому

      Hey thanks for watching! I just have a small craftsman dust collector. Works ok but maybe someday I’ll upgrade to something bigger. I’ve been using Superclear deep pour epoxy.

    • @Idealwoodworks
      @Idealwoodworks  Рік тому

      I’ve only used Superclear. The one thing I’d recommend is keeping your shop cold if you’re pouring deep. I believe the instructions say 70-75 degrees. My first table build I had the shop at 70 degrees. The epoxy flashed and hardened overnight. This caused some crazy wrinkles in the epoxy. I’d definitely keep the shop cooler than that and keep a fan running.

    Very well done. I haven't done a live edge table yet and will probably make the same slab flattener following your video. Curious to know how much you spent on just the epoxy for this or your last table? 1.5 gallon for the last one I believe you said.

    • @Idealwoodworks
      @Idealwoodworks  Рік тому

      Hello. The first table was 4.5 gallons of epoxy. This one took almost 9 gallons!
