Rare Burl Turned into One Of A Kind Table
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- I turn this beautiful Elm burl and sculpt some figured oak to marry the burl and oak together into a desk/table top, and then throw in some epoxy resin.
You’ll learn from my mistakes, and boy did I make a load! I normally only use resin for filling knots in my furniture.

Thank you Tim, appreciate the compliment mate!!! 🍻🍻🍻
That is a stunning piece of work. If the desk was mine I wouldn't be able to face putting anything on it.
Cheers Bruce, I can say for fact that it scratches easily, might have to get a buffing machine just for home use 😂
*All perfectly!*
*You have pleased me again with your skill and hard work.*
*I do not understand English, but I am very interested in listening to you.*
*Thank you so much for the video.*
*Best regards, Alexander CHEST'ER* 🤝
Thank you Chester, thank you for taking the time to comment too! What is your first language? 🍻🍻🍻
@@HewAndAwe My native language is Russian and despite this I really enjoy watching your videos and hearing your voice.
After all, it was by your voice that I recognized you 😄, but I don’t know your name?
I wish you success and all the best.
Best regards, Alexander CHEST'ER 🤝
@CHEST'ER My names Ben mate 🤝I'll try replying in Russian next time, not sure how well google translates to Russian though, youtube/google spell check is bad enough LOL
@@HewAndAwe *It's okay, you don't have to do this.*
*Keep filming and dubbing your videos as before, it's just brilliant.*
*Thank you very much.*
*Best regards, Alexander CHEST'ER* 🤝
Hard work great result. lots of tips and recommendations in this one much appreciated Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it Micheal! Hope you had a nice weekend! 🍻🍻🍻
Absolutely beautiful burl pattern, I was a little surprised that you didn't blend the back side of the epoxy channel with the same scallop as the side panels but it turned out very nice.
I did wonder about that and I was so on the fence about it I left it.
Nothing like a bit of brad point drill rasp reaming in the morning... I liked the mirroring of the burl shape, would have looked odd with a square surrounds. This thing must weigh a ton!
Looks amazing but can't find the following video to see it in its full glory ! Do you have the link please?
I screwed up there the vid was part of 3 vids but didn’t make that clear. @16.32 ua-cam.com/video/r4cWurdgygA/v-deo.html
I'm wondering if it is possible to saw a burl in half horizontally, bookmatch the pieces together, then glue the whole to a piece of plywood for strength? It seems a shame to lock up so much beauty in a thick slab. Does anyone shave these burls for veneers?
That particular piece no way, it’s pretty much end grain so would of fallen apart if I’d done that.
Great job, as always enjoy your candidness and your efforts.
Cheers Scott! Nice of you to say man, thanks for taking the time to comment mate! 🍻😊🍻
Those are some great looking choices for material. The burl is definitely a showstopper. Looks like a lot of work went into that finish. I loved the video. Always entertaining to watch. Great production👍
Cheers bud! I dont know about you but its nice to actually have something I made myself at home instead of bought furniture - I dont know many makers who have their designs at home... Hope you're well and good mate, thank you for taking the time to comment, much appreciated! 🍻🍻🍻
I have never built a piece of furniture, cabinet, or millwork for myself. It's something that I need to change.
15:35 West Ham... or Michael Jackson. I need that router! Changing the base plates or bits is such a pain in the arse! I usually trap my fingers trying to untighten the previous bits. Anyway, that desktop took you to hell and back but was well worth it!
It was hell mate, near 5 hours of film to edit mostly of things going wrong, I had to edit loads out cause the edit was sole destroying too lol Glade its done though and its a lovely place to sit editing for hours! Hope youre well bud and enjoying the lovely weather mate! 🍻🍻🍻
I just finished watching this video, it's the first one of yours that I've seen. I've watched a lot of resin table and wood craft videos but I rarely comment. I HAVE to comment. I love your video for multiple reasons, your work is impeccable and beautiful. When you were planing I was thinking about how much I love that sound. When you mentioned metal work I immediately thought about how I hate that taste :) But beyond all that... your editing. Oh my goodness. Your editing is a thing of beauty. It's perfection. I kept getting distracted and commenting on it. It's an amazing desk, gorgeous grain I could stare at all day but your editing is the chef's kiss. I look forward to watching more.
Oh man, that’s a lovely compliment I really appreciate this, it’s made my day!!! I how you had a lovely weekend!!! 🍻🍻🍻🍻
Heyup, guys and gals! Hope you're well and good!?!?
*Good work* 💪😉👍
All good Ben. Massive amount of work! And looks gorgeous. Pity you didnt do the full reveal though, haha.. 😁. Kind of like a Christopher Nolan movie leaving us in suspense. 😜
Wondered where you’ve been! Worth it just for the opening comment 😂😂😂Beautiful work as ever Ben and look forward to the reveal! 🙌
@@SujMenon Haha, I thought about it and it was not gonna have the WOW factor that the whole finished set-up would have. I've rushed the latest edit through to not keep anyone waiting for too long cause of that bud.
@@vww1l I struggle with the comments bud, youtube doesn't do a very good job of putting the comments in one place, like the received comments are very different from the desktop to iPhone and comments made to the pinned comment I have to look at every vid (really silly!) Anyway in short, sorry for my late reply bud!
Your videos have such consistent quality. Fantastic work.
Thank you Curtis, much appreciated complement mate! Hope youre well! 🍻
Love your channel and your work. Few more big tools and I’ll be at the next level. Not your level but somewhere under u lol. Keep up helping ppl like myself. U inspire me more than any other chennel
Oh mate that’s a lovely compliment I appreciate that!!!! Hope you had a lovely weekend Mike! 🍻😊🍻
fair play, I wouldn't even dream of trying to work on a project of that size. I reckon I could get 4 guitar tops out of that burl though :P
Four?!?! Really??? 😲
@@HewAndAwe yeah only need about 20x7x2" to for a billet to make a les paul. If you've got any going, don't keep quiet about it 😆
This was great I absolutely loved this whole process & you’ve given me sooooo many ideas for some burls that I have laying around.
This is the 1st video I’ve seen of yours & I’ve just subscribed YIIEEEEEEEW 🤘😝🤘
Cheers dude, I appreciate the compliment mate! Hope you had a lovely weekend! 🍻😊🍻
Beautiful
Thank you Bufunga! Thanks for taking the time to comment, much appreciated man!
@@HewAndAwe easy to do man , love your work.
I think maybe a painted sealing coat could have been an answer to all of your air bubbles coming out of the wood.
I thought I did I can’t remember, maybe not enough though.
Классная работа👍👍👍
Спасибо брат! 🍻🍻🍻
Awesome!
Cheers Johny, hope you're well and good mate! 🍻🍻🍻
@@HewAndAwe thanks mate
😮 goddamn you do such beautiful work. And go eff yourself for not giving the reveal after I invested 30 minutes 😠 😂
Yeah that was an over site.. was me trying to get eyeballs on the next vid showing that, terrible idea. Hope you have a nice Christmas mate! Be lucky! 🍻😊🍻
Hi Ben, I agree with Mario about one of his comments and not the other. You certainly should not "eff yourself" for not following up with the reveal conclusion video to that beautiful elm burl and oak resin desk. You actually should be congratulated with the highest praise for finishing the desk in spite of the setbacks. It is a stunning piece of art and deserved all the sweat and tears that went into it. However I do agree that not seeing it in its full glory at the end was a severe blow after watching its minutely detailed creation! Please keep sharing your wonderful gift, Ben, we love you for it.
Epic!
Thank you Trebor, thanks for taking the time to comment bud, hope youre well and good! 🍻🍻🍻
What is that voice that keeps making quick short things during your video?
A friend of mine made them for when I swear, didn’t really work in the end 😬
Very good, fantástico, Brasil
Thank you Francisco 😊
Absolutely stunning! Did you use Rotex on beast mode? Nice to see that such a skilled perfectionist has wtf/head scratching moments too!
Hey Stuart, sorry for the late reply mate! Yeah to be honest, why has that sander any other mode lol Ive never used it! It is far from a finish sander, so bugger using that mode and isnt easy to control in soft mode, kinda Jack of all but not... But dam i'd be lost with out that sander! Hope you're well and good bud, kind regards, Ben.
I may be a bit late commenting one year after you made it but as they say better late than never. Ben, simply outstanding as always. I only found your channel a few days ago and am already struggling to find stuff I haven't watched yet so I'll be watching them all again as they are that good. Got to ask though, what would something like this desk cost (a) to make (b) to purchase
Difficult to say now so far after the fact I think it took about a month plus to build, with materials I’d say north of 5k. 🤷🏻♂️
West ham supporters lmao. I’m using that from now on.
I cant remember what I said now, was it something to do with bubbles?
Your desk is awesome! I loved your video but it left me with a question. The way you talk makes me feel like you are super board with building this. Are you board or just way laid back?
Hi Zach, this was one build that was the straw that broke the camels back, everything that could of gone wrong went wrong, theres about 4+ hours of film on the editing floor that you didn't see, the final edit would of been really long and depressing. I also suffer from depression and man did this build make me low. Reliving it all editing was also tough, was difficult for me to be chipper doing the VO ...c'est la vie. It's taken a while to appreciate the outcome, but I'm happy with it now. Hope youre well and good, thank you for taking the time to comment 🍻🍻🍻
Первый раз что мне не понравилось,я думаю что рисунок как то неудачно размещен и не выглядит единым целом.Работа калоссальная проделана,но себе бы я такой не хотела.
And you felt the need to say that because?
The table doesn't have balance.
Thats because you haven't seen the speaker stands and monitor stand that complete the whole look.
@@HewAndAwe I am talking about the joining of pieces that look so dissimilar. There is no visual flow through the piece.
Erxcellent worth bozo, stop f-ing with the live edge and try leaving the bark on a piece and see your feedback increase. Anyone who tries the type of work you do will to cut down on the criticism.
The end user would bitch and whine it’s to sharp, only condoms would cut down on the criticism.
The bark will separate from the wood.
@@jamingaming9251 depends when the tree was cut down, if it was cut in winter when the sap isn’t running it’ll stay on.
🙄
This means nothing dude, comment or don’t if all you’re gonna put is an emoji, not work the paper it’s written on.
@@HewAndAweHey, it's still viewer engagement on your part.
And there's a dude who commented with emojis also, you even "liked" it.
Why do you use a notched trowel to spread the epoxy
It helps get an even spread, a flat edge works as a scraper.
