    I make a 96" (2.5m) dining table from a slab of salvaged Oregon Black Walnut and epoxy resin. A few ups and downs through this build, but in the end, it all works out. I hope you enjoy the build, let me know if I can do better.

      @@TJMODLA epoxy is as hard as the cure temp. It will soften if temp is elevated above the cure temp and when it hardens you have to heat it above that to soften it. That is why you see curing ovens/autoclaves in fiberglass laminate work. Also, the wood will char first.

      Aren't they amazing. I, too, know Jack squat about woodworking. But he's inspired me to dip my toes in and begin the long road of learning this amazing artform. Just started refinishing old furniture and even using some resin for the new and improved versions. Its very basic stuff for now, but hope to one day be doing my own builds down the road ina year or two. Exciting times in my life right now, perhaps the MOST!!

    Red.
    About 20 years ago a fork from a forklift fell onto my foot from chest height. (The locking clip mechanism on that fork broke, so when the fork was pulled into a wider position, it never stopped sliding at the next slot & it instead kept going until it fell off.) The fork actually hit both my feet, but the end of the fork that bends to a 90°, is the thickest/heaviest end & that end came straight down on my left foot.
    I broke a few bones in that foot, but the worst part was when I took off my boot & sock, my big toe was purple & double its normal size. When I barely even touched the toe with my finger, my toe kind of popped. It split under the toenail. Kind of a gory scene.
    Luckily I didn't lose any toes, but to this day I have a LOT of pain in that big toe! I wasn't wearing steel toe boots at that time. From that moment on, I always wear steel toe boots!! The point of my rambling is this- you will never appreciate how important a single toe really is, until you have an accident & hurt/lose one! A single toe can cause you to lose balance, stability, traction & grip. I cringe every time I see your sandals!
    You're a grown man & can do whatever you choose to do, but I strongly suggest a nice pair of comfortable work boots, at least on the days when you're lifting heavy items. I've always loved my Wolverines but I also live super close to a Redwings shop & they make great boots as well.

      The big toe is the most important one too. Losing one would definitely affect balance, walking, ect... Steel toes are great but I have heard of items heavy enough to crush the steel and cause even worse problems. Always be mindful but accidents do happen. Glad you were able to keep it. I lost a fight with my table saw but was able to save my thumb. For me it was just my carelessness though. Take care.

    • @OneTruePhreak
      @OneTruePhreak 2 роки тому +3

      I watched a guy framing with a nail gun barefoot. He fired a 3" nail straight through the tip of his big toe. Instantly fused all the bones in a straight line. He turned ghost white and tried to yell, but no sound came out of his mouth. The whole way to the hospital he was crying without a sound. I'm not quite sure exactly how the doctor removed the nail, but he definitely turned off the guy's mute button when he did it. It sounded like a horror movie from the lobby. 😂

    • @Richard.Dawson
      @Richard.Dawson 2 роки тому +5

      @@OneTruePhreak It's funny because everybody was talking about how "tough" I was, because as soon as it happened, I ran off the truck & I was kind of skipping/hopping around laughing it off, while they were all trying to get me to sit down & take off my boots. But it wasn't "tough", it was shock. After the initial pain on impact, I didn't feel anymore pain.
      I literally left a trail of blood into the ER & I was worried about somebody stepping in it, as opposed to acting like I was hurt. The Dr ended up having to give me 3 shots in the toe to make sure it was numb because he had to cut off the nail in order to stitch it, but when he kept asking me if I could feel it after each shot, I kept telling him I wasn't sure what I could feel. Andrenaline is a powerful drug!
      I remember I was fine until around 6 hours after the accident, when the shots started to wear off. Then I walked around like an old man for quite a few weeks after.

      All the truly skilled artists and tradesmen give their advice, cause they're confident and secure. The ones who hide it just use one of the same tricks but want you to think they know something you don't 🤣
      It's more profitable to share the tips, broadcast them and benefit off the views, then try to hide em and hope someone else doesn't share the tips, because with EVERYTHING it's derivative and others will spontaneously think of them too.

    Yes it does lend to l little red hue.Very exciting to watch a craftsman finish off such a nice piece of wood. You also do a very good job explaining as you go. I think you are very smart to consider an online or virtual workshop.I was Royal Columbian Hospitals In B.C., first ventilated Covid 19 patient in March 2019.I was ventilated for 40 days and I was very lucky at age 72 my lungs began to work again. I have watched other videos you have made and kudos to your work.

    Hey Man I don’t expect you to see this or respond but I just wanted to reach out and thank you. I do Whakairo which is the traditional form of Wood Carving using Native patterns and shapes, and watching your video has really inspired me to do pieces then encase the wood in epoxy. And it was all because of you and you help so much by talking through step by step how to do it so thank you heaps! ☺️

    As s long time woodworker myself and lover of walnut I believe it’s perfect and I honestly do not see the red in it myself, Only the beautiful chocolate brown and the deeper colored heartwood. In my opinion, I see nothing but complements and an awe struck customer . Beautiful table and I too love the base you chose. Thank you for letting us enter your shop snd watch you create this .

    Nice to see the blue used in one of your great pieces of furniture. I’m an interior designer and am inspired by colour and nudge clients to let their preconceived biases crack and then open up to my suggestions, which often becomes the most talked about item in their room where the coloured item is located.
    Enjoy your videos and your insights as you create your magical creations.

It seems more natural than all the blue and green River tables being made. Also I think your video production is really good and your commentary is spot on and helpful. Definitely subscribing.

    Truck loading idea: Get yourself some conveyor rollers (at least 2" diameter and probably min 36" wide"), they're easy to find on line. Put them in a metal frame. Make sure the rear roller is slightly further out than your truck bed.
    Then, just lead the slab up against the roller, tilt the rest on to the rollers and push to the back of the truck bed.
    If you want to get fancy, the frame of the rollers can be on sliders so the whole thing fits in to the bed with the gate closed.

    Red, and it looks wonderful. 30 years ago, my House Builder, said that he always gets his clients a special gift to finish off their house, and he asked me what I wanted. I knew that he had a particularly thick slab of Walnut that had been sitting in his garage for about 10 years. That is now my Fireplace Mantle, and the Finish Carpenter's had enough wood in the slab to completely trim out around the edge of the fireplace and the Mantle, with Walnut. The Mantle's finished dimensions are 10" deep, 3 1/2" thick, and 81 inches long. Thanks for another nice Table build video!

I've tried to look in our area for wood outside of Lowes or Home Depot and had very little luck so far. I did manage to find one person running a small operation out of his garage, but he didn't have any large selections like you're showing. Thank you for sharing all of your beautiful work and experience.

      Black Forest Woodworking has several videos of wood buying to British Columbia, LA, and also down to Portland, OR (Gobie). Also, I forget the channel's name, but a gentleman back in I believe Ohio has one of the largest mills (he built it himself) for slicing very wide slabs. Another gentleman has a channel where he mills slabs (not as wide as the first), but comes up with some pretty nice logs. Transportation from a distance is a problem.

    Red. I like this table a lot, might be my favourite of your rectangle tables I've seen so far. There's a good ratio of black epoxy to ruddish wood, a nice third of the table. Epoxy tables are just so much prettier when the contrast is higher.

  • @peterduncan1322

    The table is absolutely stunning . I simply love seeing tables created from these types of woods , they become a piece of artwork all by themselves. I love seeing the grains in these woods you have chosen and how they suddenly come alive during the end product . In answer to your question at the end of the video , yes there are red hues running throughout the piece you are showing . I would love to see the other piece which is pure brown, I imagine it must be incredibly rich in color .. Beautiful work Sir, beautiful work

It's gotta be like having two full time jobs with overtime on both when you're building huge pieces of furniture by yourself and doing all the videography and commentary along with it. You do great work though and I admire your clear and concise approach to making absolutely beautiful pieces of furniture. I just hope to be successful enough one day to be able to afford a couple of pieces myself. Keep up the good work.
