    Absolutely my favorite creator on here. Simply because, You are extremely explanatory. Thou I don't have half the tools you have for professional outputs in my home, I absolutely love your contents. They teach me a lot.
    Question: Do you have a video on how to make a "transformable wall cabinet / table"?
    I would love to see you do this and explain each stage while making. Of course, the modern way :)

    Thanks for the tipp with the WD40 as Mouldrelease. Now Heres a Tipp for you ;) instead of taking the super heavy Bags of concrete MIX. Ill use Gallons as a messurement now, you can scale it down, since Liter's would maybe confuse you =). You can take 5 Gallons of Woodchips (i like use Small Animal Litter) and add ~2.1 Gallons of Water, mix that up and let it soak for an Hour. Later on you can add 2 Gallons of Zement (no mix stuff just zement) if its to dry or thick add water or zement. That kind of mix is called Wood-Concrete its light while still being durrable (perfect for tables) You can reinforce it how you want, by using your rough reinforcement wire, finer Mesh (like used in building a stable for rabbits) or 1 gallon Glasfibers per mix mentioned before. I made a Tabletop where i was testing sitting on. Dimensions where 2" thick and 2x4 foot in size. im at arround 250 pounds and it didnt broke. One Cool plus is, due to its relatively "soft" nature, you could make a Big sheet and cut it on the Tablesaw after also you can use your regular wood tools like a round over bit, BUT take this with a grain of salt and allways use old tools. According to this nice Video my Tabletop would waight ~30 pounds not 160 pounds like yours. For outside you have to seal it realy good. Downside of this Wood concrete is, the Tabletop takes 3 days to cure and another 2 weeks to fully dry out (if not left in the sun), due to the nature of Wood not being Stone or Sand.

    Glen, this is a great looking table. I love the concrete top and also the heavy duty look of the wooden supports. Since it's going outside, I think I'd go for some type of stone or concrete footings that would sit on the ground with a metal spacer placed between the footing and the leg of the table. My inspiration is the legs that hold up my patio cover.
    BTW: It's good to see you doing videos again. I've missed your content.

    What I did was drilled out holes for star nuts and used carrage bolts.
    But you can find plastic feet on a bolt you just have to use a nut that attaches to the wood.
    But no glue is water proof not even tightbond Iii water can devolve it.
    So any points that hold weight should be pinned with split top dowls you can drive a wedge into. Its all wood and its not comming apart.
    Tabld looks great, I used an outdoor stain for decks on mine in a moghany color but differt project, color looks pretty close. I also used Cypress.

    1:20 Melamine is a great material, but for those who haven't worked with it before, you should pre-drill for EVERY screw, both faces and edges. It's basically particle board, and driving a screw into the edge without predrilling will cause a split every single time. But you should also predrill every hole through the face, because screws will chip and split the melamine veneer as well. It's not flexible, so it'll crack and chip out easily. Chipping is also a major concern when cutting, if you're working on a finished piece and not a concrete form.

    Watch the wood whispers video on epoxy feet, especially for end grain. You basically make a channel for the feet with painters tape and make a 3/8 inch pour to keep the wood from sitting in water. I do it all the time.

    That is awesome looking! Not sure what you want for look with feet, I might suggest square or rectangular metal tubing, angle cut like a picture frame to fill in ends, or if ordered wider V cut at ends filled in, to fill in the open end of tubes. Then screw into bottom. Can play with a designs in the metal finish with sandpaper (lots of small circles, straight lines, polish, etc.).

      @@DIYCreators I forgot to note I really like your design for the bottom shelf. Can use metals that don't rust or tarnish (like copper does). Examples - aluminum, some stainless steel, galvanized steel, brass, bronze. Aluminum might get the look you're looking for, and is cheap.
      When I build my workshop, I plan to make aluminum square bases under 4x4 wall bench legs so they don't corrode from water over time (can clean floor with hose) - cut to form square like a picture frame, drill large hole on bottom for screwdriver to fit, small hole on top for screw to 4x4.

    Make pads out of epoxy, you can get marine epoxy for great water proofing. I usually drill into the bottom a little bit for the pads to have something to hold on to, then build it up with a wooden frame that will come off, this will give you some raised water resistant protection. I would also look into an outdoor rated oil finish because if left out in the sun, and elements, urethane won't last long.
