When this table broke is was over a month ago and everything between myself and Sam and the team was resolved and handled on that day off camera. I apologize to anyone who thought it was handled wrong or inappropriate. Thank you all for supporting the team and holding me accountable. I’ll be better for them, and for you guys. I hope yinz enjoy this weeks video.
Thanks for addressing it
A lot of people forget that there's always missing context and that true friends will often 'abuse' one another in the moment, but after a moment of clarity, all it takes is 'Sorry, I was out of line' and everything is golden again. A video only ever gives a snapshot on a situation rather than everything that surrounds it
Thanks John for addressing this. You done good!
Ffs the fact u had to even put this in the video shows what a wokw 3rd world we live in! People needa grow up
john you are an epic maker ! and your passion shows i get it!
"After this video, I'm making a picnic table out of 2x4s" might be the funniest thing said in any video I've seen lately
To be fair. I would definitely watch that if he tried to do something a little special with it.
Sam’s axe game is spot on 😂
yeah, what a chad :D
I don't think that I've ever laughed so hard at a UA-cam video as at that moment.
I did think that the hairs on Sam's arms will be some new composite armour after watching that spray work, though...
@@jasondoust4935 It was absolutely perfect. The pause where you could tell they were both like "oh shi- Wait... What did we think was gonna happen there?"
But not his clamping game.
“this project is all about making imperfections beautiful” that’s actually a very good mentality for a craftsman to have. Sometimes the project really really really doesn’t go your way and instead of scrapping it and starting over sometimes you just gotta make imperfections beautiful.
When that bottom piece split in half on the first shot - I thought I was going to wet myself - easily missed the next few minutes of the video and had to go back to re-watch what I missed. 😂😂😂
I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time! 😂😂😂
That was epic, still laughing 😂😂
OMG I laughed harder than they were. Too good. Highlight reel
It made me cry hahaha
I watch that shot like 4 times. So damn hilarious
Props for acknowledging the previous error (yelling at Sam) and manning up and saying sorry. We all make mistakes, it's how we handle them that shows our character. 👍
he knows he fucked up and edited the video. feels kinda shady
i was on the fence but now im subbed.
He already had done that right after. It was just people in the comments that had a problem. I don't suppose those people will correct their judgment publicly and apologize.
I agree, props for acknowledging and attempting to resolve. now everyone else in the comments needs to shush, he knows and he took care of it, right? or am I now the one over acting 😀

How to fix the broken table?
a) epoxy
b) stitches
c) kintsugi - japanese technique using gold to fix broken parts
John's anwser: YES!
"John, did you fix the table?"
"In one word?"
"Yes. One word. "
"No. "
Sam splitting the bottom end like that is _perfection_ after the last video 😂.
Deep respect to both John and Sam. Handled like adult men. Love the work, well done!
Yep, Sam is a beast in a tiny poodle body. I know, so am I 😀
Love how u involved sam and just laugh with the previous part
I'm glad you guys even making jokes about the accident. It was a terrible moment but the way you guys handle it was a W move. Nice table btw
Terrible moment my god toughen up princess he didnt even raise his voice ive never seen a softer subscribers
@@Hansolo_berger when I said terrible moment it was refer to the fact that they fail to finish a beautiful table at the first place. It was never refer to their relationship. But i got your point and I would say I disagree with you. It doesn't need to raising the voice to causing a problem. Your safety should be put above anything. But it is what it is. Why would I make a comment about them. They already make fun about it. Just enjoy the build. Cheers!
@@Hansolo_berger it's funny that you are more offended by the people calling out shitty behavior then the people you're trying to criticize for being soft. I can only imagine how often you get walked on in real life and let it happen because you don't want to get called a snowflake
@@mariomario6000 i was going to comment this but the people in the comments are way ahead of me xD
"thank you for pushing me to be better"
- glad to see the good vibes between you guys in this video, being more relaxed and smiling. goes a long way 😊
I don't think I have ever laughed that hard at a UA-cam video. Literally had tears in my eyes the whole time. Good on you guys for reading the comments and taking them to heart- but in such a light hearted way.
Props for handling the situation so well. You’re humble enough to be held accountable and I respect that. You also seem to have a much better attitude overall and y’all look like you’re having fun dealing with new challenges together as a team. Well done for this entire video💪🏻💪🏻
This would be a great training video. Seriously, the take-away is, "failure is not an option". In most businesses, you are forced to pivot multiple times, downgrading expectations continually till the project is done. This is a great discussion starter. Oh, and, a stretcher. The table needs a stretcher on the bottom to keep the leg from bending.
Yes! That's what I thought before the table broke in the first video.
Franken-Table LIVES!!!
She's gorgeous! (Don't throw her away. Give her away.)
When that axe hit I actually laughed out loud. I needed that.😂
Honestly the thing turned out incredible, it really looks awesome. And how many work environments don't get held accountable for a bad day at the office. A happy John is fun to watch.
To finish it, you should have put a metal brace from one "leg" to the other. Would stop the bending of the resin and would look sweet.
i was thinking the same thing.
This might be my favorite video in a while. I know the finished product isn't what you wanted. But it's important to see that sometimes things just don't work out. But through it all, you and the team learned and found solutions to problems you'd never encountered before. This type of experience, while expensive, can only help make you a better woodworker and make future builds of an even higher caliber. Great job fellas. Keep it up.
Nice to see a bad situation turning up to a good result
That table is ridiculous! I want one! The mistakes made it priceless. You guys are good at what you do. Especially when it doesn't go as planned.
This was the absolute BEST way to win back your audience 😂😂 I know shit gets tense, especially when such a crazy project is on the line. The fact you guys can bury the hatchet and laugh about it, is awesome 👍🏾
The term "leave well enough alone" comes to mind. What an absolute nightmare, but thank you for keeping it real and letting us see how fricking difficult the process was. I respect your grit.
Not Sam splitting the remaining piece
After all the problems, the table turned out great! Great work by John and the crew!
I died when Sam cut the end in half 😂 You guys definitely rolled with the punches on this one... and there were A LOT of punches. Holy shit. It still looked really cool in the end, but such a bummer that all your hard work didn't seem to work out like you wanted. You guys are all great, thanks for what y'all do!
As Jamie and Adam say "Failure is always an option" Thanks for addressing this and also im loving the jokes Sam is putting out there. Well done on catching the table this time.
I was hoping for a part 3 where a dovetail stretcher goes along the floor to hold both ends in place. Also, I ordered some shop shades.
Between the random quips and jokes referencing the drama from the last video and the editing, I think you may win back your audience yet. That “I want it all” clip made my bust up like a dummy lol
It takes a big man to admit when one is wrong and you did that. The changed dynamic in the shop is clear - everyone looks way more comfortable and I hope it stays that way because, honestly, watching you guys joking together is way more entertaining. Nice save on the table too. I know it didn't come out quite as you had hoped, but it was still a usable table at the end. Also, when Sam hit that thing with the axe, I nearly wet myself... 🙂
Amazing result! You used the kintsugi suggested 🤩! The imperfection is the perfection. It has more to show than others. And it’s one of a kind and no other table will be exactly the same.
Blacktail Studio did this in a wonderful piece. You did just as well
Who is Blacktail Studio? 😅
@@kevinn6538just search it??!? There’s this cool thing called a search bar on UA-cam😂
@@kevinn6538 better woodworker and youtuber, this guy all about views
@@kevinn6538clue's in the name, bud.
@@kevinn6538 the goat
That table just needs to be hard fastened to its final destination. Great job on tryin allbthe tecniques!!
Watching poor lil Sam doing the "walk fast and look worried" technique while running clamps around was everything for me lol
That first swing!!! I feel for your set backs but man this is the most accurate 2 videos of every project I am involved with. 😂 feel your pain! Now onto the rest of the video
I love the video, the touch of humor abt what happened last time is hilarious good job for the editing too 🤣
I made my exam piece for school with epoxy legs, and they bend because of the weight of the cabinet, even in the winter, so I actually had to put some pieces in between the cabinet and the base to make sure it stays flat. still looks very dope tho
Thanks for your diligence and showing the the mistakes. Too many channels show perfection and it sets a bad level of expectation for beginners
I was literally laughing out loud during a majority of this video. Beautiful work as always! Thanks for a great video.
John, sad to see that the epoxy stays in a softer state. Could be heat, humidy, and just the thickness not allowing to get all the solvents out of the epoxy, but I also understand that a layered poor was not a good gameplan.
I really appreciate that you called in Sam and apologized, a good leader admits his mistakes and learns from them. Keep up the nice work you all.
good job handling feedback properly. subbed.
You posted this 20 min after the video went live, you were subbed already.
good job handling the feedback??
he edited the original video to crop out his asininity I dare say he's handled this poorly and knows it
You are a true artist. True artists never stop pushing creativity even amongst mistakes and failures. I still think you can make that table work and stop the movement of the epoxy.
I was waiting for the piece to go flying not to split in half😂
Comedy gold. :D
Ive seem blacktail studios also do this. Cool build!
John also gave Cam his credit in this video so why repeat it?
@24jstretch 3 minutes in and I haven't heard the credit yet, maybe this commenter hadn't either. Given how similar the title and thumbnail are I'm sure many of Cam's fans are coming into this video nervous to see if he'll get credited. What's the harm in making sure?
@@artyb27 congratulations you made it three minutes in but aren't paying it any attention because you're in the comments. How about paying attention to the entire video before commenting.
The Japanese technique John was referring to is called Kintsugi (金継ぎ). It's traditionally used when fixing broken pottery.
"...treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise."
It's a great mindset. Nothing is perfect so let's accept that and embrace it.
Love how this video remedied everything from the previous one. Most entertaining video ever
lol, I love the old "time budget" thing even with random projects. always adds some spicey drama
It was clear (at least to most of us) from the first video that you guys had resolved it pretty quickly. It was obvious in how your body languages around each other changed throughout the video.
That said, I think all of you handled this “controversy” fantastically in this video, both the humorous bits and the sincere ones. As much as you are a team, and that relationship is the absolute priority when you work in any industry that has people relying on each other for safety, you’re also role models simply by way of how being in the public eye works and have a responsibility to your viewers (especially the younger ones) too, so making it clear that accountability was taken is extremely important.
Thank you for showing both that it’s ok to be human and make mistakes as long as you take responsibility for them, and also the importance of showing each other a little grace and understanding during difficult times. You guys all rock!
Also, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it, that table’s an abomination 😉😂 a perfect example of how sometimes great skill and gorgeous techniques can still lead to some less than ideal outcomes 😊
Sam should turn the broken piece into a shield to repel John's anger lol
Man, the amount of times I’ve had to restart a project or a grab a new piece of wood to recut or just polish a turd….I have lost count. BUT those instances served me well in that I have a better inclination when something is not going well and needs adjusted or something is unsafe and needs to be rethought.
In the end, we’re all human and bound to make mistakes. Love watching you guys!
proud of you for actually knowing when to listen to the comments section for sure i didnt get to see the pre edited version but we've all been there before and just apologizing and hashing it out is usually the best way glad yall did that.
“I apologize if I made you feel any way” “I apologize to anyone who thought it was wrong or inappropriate” . Both of these “apologies” put the burden and blame on the offended. A proper apology would be something like “I was wrong, my behavior was inappropriate, and I apologize.” Your swollen ego and narcissism will not allow this.
Now that John apologized… Sam next time I expect you to sacrifice your life to save a piece!
Good lord what a rollercoaster this was - the epoxy bend straightening out during polishing just took the cake
Appreciate you addressing it!
I don’t know… I don’t think the apology was heartfelt enough 😂
Bending the epoxy is a terrible idea the top surface will peel from the wood and the underneath will wrinkle casting in place has to be the way forward surely (that’s my prediction before watching).
This weeks word is Tenacity - Noun - The quality of showing mettle or strength to resist opposition. In other words, somewhere around the first "Oh S**T", I would have given up and moved on to "What's for lunch". Way to hang in there! I really liked seeing the thought process of problem solving. Thanks!
its good to hear you guys resolved it quickly and everyone is able to laugh about it now! the table ended up looking great, though i totally get you wanting to banish it out of your shop lmao
Great job apologizing brother. You deserve praise too.
Wtf? No he doesn't. Apologies for being an asshole is the bare minimum.
@@danialmoser2573He deserves praise for realizing he was a bit of an ass and taking steps to address it. That's how people grow and that's what a good role model does . There's more power in positivity than in comments like yours.
@@roguered706 I am quick to acknowledge my mistakes. I apologize as needed. I don't need validation for doing the bare minimum. NO ADULT deserves praise for doing the bare minimum. I "PRAISE" children for using their manners. If you truly believe that, then our society is completely FKD. Bare minimum would be concerned more for his employees health, not a damn piece of wood that can easily be replaced. John posted a video that made him look terrible; here are some
reasonable options:
1. he is so open with his viewers that he wanted them to see he makes mistakes (except he pulled it down, reedited it, and reposted when it was negatively received, so that isn't it),
2. he was oblivious to or miscalculated the "lens" it would be viewed through (possible, but i don't know).
3. he does not care how the public would react, (not likely, as he removed, and reedited it).
4.he doesn't watch his videos and someone else edits them (i doubt he doesn't watch the videos before posting, as he has a successful You Tube channel).
IN JOHN'S DEFENSE: He could have easily just not posted the video, but he did. OR he could have done a monologue at the end with an honest and brief apology for acting like an ass with his employee. Allowing us to see the HUMAN most of his supporters believe him to be. See anacronym for HUMAN below.
I have worked for people that act the way John acted in that video. It isn't funny or cute or any other way that a "BOSS" that can say WTF he wants, and his employees only 2 options are accept it or quit. HE QUESTIONED WHY THE 140LB GUY DIDNT TRY TO CATCH A FALLING 300LB CHUNCK OF WOOD. He blamed the guy for the clamp releasing, then "later" realized it was his 275lb body and BAD GEOMETRY that caused the table to fall. THAT IS HIS MINDSET that he has. ITS A TERRIBLE MINDSET. Its a lumber video, not defusing a bomb. THERE IS NOTHING HE DOES THAT IS WORTH INJURING OR KILLING a living being, and his private apology was probably sincere, but his public apology was total trash.
*** I HOPE THAT STATEMENT IS 100% ACCURATE. It means John isn't pandering to the public. I am not wanting him canceled or negatively affected, in any way. I HOPE that we saw "the worst" reaction of a normally good person, and that we don't see a repeat of it. I wasn't crapping on John, i was pointing out that 'bare minimum" shouldn't be the goal, it should be the line of scrimmage. I hope he reads all of this.

Hang in there - A lot of people do care...
This is what we call a perfect learning project...or perhaps a wonderful cluster-f***, but many situations like this teach us more than we wanted to know LOL.
oh man that was priceless first swing with the splitting maul.
If you apologize that poorly, just remember that the next time someone does the same apology to you.
This video has a definite cringe throughout as there seems to be some overcompensating and eggshell walking. However, in the end if the team is better and stronger than it feels as though the situation has passed. I hope that the team can continue to grow.
Retired cabinetmaker. As for the table falling and breaking, frustrating to say the least. I experienced worse, numerous times. Can you fix it or do you start over. Impressed with your ability to find a fix.
Ever seen what happens after a flatbed truck hauling kitchen cabinets is hit by another truck? Not much left. Just a short delay on that install.
I commented on the previous video (was way late to the game...) to do epoxy and stitch to highlight the mistake and create a statement piece that says basically anything can be a learning experience. Then I got to the video and was blown away. Great job guys. This is beautiful.
I appreciate the editor that throws in all of the banter and random clips… works well for me
Really well handled, John and I loved the team getting some laughs in after. (especially when Sam just thrashed the end piece with that splitting maul)
Love your content and appreciate you showing how to step up as a leader!
What a great learning opportunity! May not have been your best work and it was very frustrating, but you learned some things and persevered. Sometimes, with this type of project, the learning is worth more than the cost.
Hi guys. At a dental office. They use a dental syringe. It has a plastic tip with a curve. When you need too epoxy a crack, might be helpful to fill the cracks. Always fun watching your problem solving.
I honestly think the end product is really cool, would happely have it in my home!!
What a beast of a table! It turned out amazing!
The table may not have turned out how you wanted, but it is truly one of a kind! And I mean that in the best way.
Great team work on a project that is just kicking your butts. Sam, nice axe work too! Sorry to see you guys struggle, but you kept it real for the rest of us watching. A lot of very hard work!
The combo of John’s commentary with the gifs added in is just pure gold 😂
Good for you for not giving up!! I like it, it's really cool. ❤❤❤
The 'Double-Type' joint with sticks and epoxy on the extremly beautyful roughed edge looks amazing gOoOd!
Its turned out bloody awesome, I love it!!
Do a 2x4 picnic table building race with the entire crew! Everyone gets the same exact plans, tools and materials. For the rewards get a bunch of steaks from most to least desirable cuts and as everyone finishes they get their pick. Then you all have a cookout and have a good time while still getting a video to put out.
Seems like a win/win in terms of having a good time and letting all the commenters from the last video with sticks up their asses see you guys interact like a crew of dudes usually interacts.
After everything that went wrong in the previous video... that axe splitting was probably the best thing to happen for these guys! LOL Too funny!!!
Love how you guys never give up on builds. Another great video, looking forward to next weeks.
This was one of your most fun videos. Great cameo work with Sam and Chris! And thanks for the sincere apology.
When Sam hit that first axe swing and split it, I was giggling along as if I was right there! Thanks for that! 😂
John. You've made a bath.
It's a double ended bath that's needs sides on it.
Put sides on it and make a double ended bath.
Nice plugs and taps.
Obviously need to flood seal the inside but wow someone's in for the world's most insane bathroom upgrade.
Sam splitting it with one hit absolutely cracked me up
Wow it turned out amazing I was rooting for you guys determination , dedication & winging it paid off . Id be honored to have the table displayed in my home it would be a family heirloom one of kind I hope your all proud of yourselves for what you accomplished much love from UK 🇬🇧
I have not laughed as hard as i did when sam took that swing in a longggg time
😂 I love so hard when the table broke this time to I thought I was gonna cough myself away. I couldn’t enjoy the laughter the first time but I’m glad everyone is back to being a family again and yes, I do know that we only get to see one thing, we didn’t get to see you apologize but that’s OK. It happened. It’s over and that’s all that matters but when the table cracked the second time, yeah that was kind of that was really funny. I’m sorry it was. It was funny but anyway, I’m table turned out beautiful. What are you gonna do with it and don’t say Fire either and I can’t wait to see what you mess up next so much fun watching you fix it.❤❤❤
This is a awesome video and I love that you push the limit. I like to se some more videos where u battel like the 3 levels or 1 sheets 1 bord challange.
all respekt to u and your team :D
Hey brother for future reference I got some tips that I used to use when I did epoxy work in the warehouse for the union work we did, I did it for a couple years. So for forms we used plexiglass as the shape of the forms and to hold it down we used hot glue guns. The glue was a one time use obvi but held it great and stopped leaks. The plexiglass was many uses as long as it didn’t have excessive scratches in it. Also for rounded shapes like you did in this you can very easily just form the glass on the other side of the table since it’s not broken and just mold the plexiglass over that side with a lil heat (being careful not to make melt the glass and cause areas that will bond to the epoxy) then just hot glue it together (the glue just releases easy and doesn’t bond to the epoxy)and then pour it. You WILL NOT have the issue of cleaning the particular board off the work piece or have to soften it in the sun to bend it. I/we did this type of work many many times of the couple years of working there before the recession hit years ago. Either way it’s a way better way to do what you’re trying to do to. We did mostly all commercial stuff (Reading Railway Station, Newark airport, hospital in Freehold NJ, and many other large scale project and a bunch of smaller ones like schools and police stations; basically anything that was bid on by a large group we had a chance of getting the job. You got the job done obviously but there is just a lot easier way to do a couple parts of these type projects.
The table/desk look really cool and I really enjoy the channel and the other channels too. Thanks for all the work.
That table is absurd! I'd want to have one! It was precious because of the errors. You people are skilled in what you do. particularly if things don't go as to plan.
A tip for the caulk. You want to ideally cut a chamfer for caulk to sit in on one side. It’s a stretchy sealant. It needs some thickness to it to work well and then also have it join up when you have a T-Joint (like under the wood and the edge of the mould)
Also, avoid the tape or mould release where you’re putting caulk. Those things are designed to not adhere - not great for sealant.
You did what I hoped you would do (referring to the previous video)... Thumbs up!
Just when I think y'all couldn't get more squirrelly.....ya up and make my day😂😊🐿🐿🐿
I love the gold edge along the repair line.
I'm sorry but when that split perfectly with one ax blow it was the funniest thing iv seen all year thank you so much
Dude when he hit it with the ax and it split down the middle it was the greatest thing ever I love it
I've been 'playing ' with epoxy for quite a few years. The ONE thing I would suggest - ALWAYS use tape on the backside of the piece. Cover that bi-atch with tape. Tape is WAAAAY cheaper than epoxy. I dig the caulk, but Tyvek tape is the "Insurance" you need. Cheap and easy.
