Today on Modern Builds I'm trying a method of DIY Kintsugi using a round concrete table top and gold lead / adhesive. This was my attempt at salvaging what would've been a huge failure and I couldn't be happier with how it came out. If course this isn't 'proper kinsugi' but it was fun and a good learning experience.

This table arrived well packaged and on time. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxn94T8Mu1iMnsLCMNOI9srXSsLkI4JXKW Like another reviewer advised, I pulled everything out and made sure everything was included (everything was!). I built it alone and it took me about an hour. The color is great and for the price the lift part works well. As others have mentioned, it’s not the smoothest opening/closing, but it works. The screws do show, but I plan to order white sticker covers if that bothers us too much. Really happy with this table! UPDATE: it’s been over a year since we got this coffee table and we still love it! It gets HEAVY use as our dining table, foot rest, and school desk. Over time, the opening and closing mechanism has gotten smoother. I added a new photo with the white screw cover stickers. They blend in perfectly and make it look a little cleaner. 100% recommend!!!
This might be one of my favorite projects you've ever done. There's beauty everywhere... even in the mistakes we make.
Tracey Sims wow!! Thank you 😁😁
I totally agree.
Tracey Sims I liked the saying as if you said poetry; there’s beauty everywhere.. even in the mistakes we make 🌹
Kintsugi is more than just art but a Japanese philosophy on accepting your flaws as something that’s beautiful and that adds more value. It’s uniqueness that should be celebrated rather than critiqued. Loved this build and excited to see if you do more projects like this in the future!
What you're describing is upper definition for wabi sabi. Kintsugi is a specific part of wabi sabi, where one sees a repair with a gold alloy as additional value, since someone took their time and effort into making something a whole again
Love that way of thinking. Its beautiful.
Love it!
Rosa Johnson sorry it looks terrible.
We love this!!
Says don’t spoil end result.

I was going to say this lol

Dude I dig your fondant tool hack! and I’ve got a suggestion (food for thought) for your corner caulkings future.
My uncle was a carpenter and found that he combined the fondant tool with dipping it into mineral spirits to create a smoother (no drag) caulk line, but he always wanted a ball that could be free-rolling like a bearing. he found one of those essential oil roller ball containers, and exclusively used it filled with mineral spirit (so the roller was always perfectly clean and never dragged any caulk, just pressed it to the side and moved along, and of course every bit of caulk that was pressed out of the groove wasn’t connected to the inside corner caulk and pulls off perfectly). He’d bragged to everyone in his area that it was the new big thing, but those old fellas don’t know a thing about passing on a clever idea.
Thanks for your beautiful projects, you’re a great inspiration
Joshua Chevalier that is a great idea
post a tutorial??
Also, if you put the caulk down in a thick consistent bead first, then spray with foaming glass cleaner, the caulk will not adhere to the surface except where you already have the bead. This means that any excess won't stick and slides right off.
I usually mask mine regardless to get a perfect edge. Great idea with the ball roller, and mineral spirits.
Awesome that you showed us it doesn't always work out in the beginning! Great video!
Hey, You need to sealed gold with protective varnish otherwise gold will oxidise after time :)
The right thing to do, I think so, is a coat of epoxy resin and then sand and polish. At least over the cracks if not the whole table.
Gold doesn't oxidise easily, at least not without the help of a strong acid. Only if it's an alloy will it tarnish in air.
Gonçalo Alegria it’s not real gold. I have experience with the stuff, it oxidizes fast and then is just dark sludge.
Thought the same. Plus the whole idea behind kintsugi is to make the cracks ‘seamless’
fancifuldevices then just use real gold...the 99.9% foil isn’t that expensive.
This is probably my favorite thing you've done to date man. It looks so bad ass.
Impeccable form with the jumps to crack.
Mike this is straight 🔥
Nice build Mike, I love how you're constantly trying new materials!
This is really beautiful actually! Imagine doing a long entrance way table using that technique. Or even a dining table!!
Epic build, refreshing to see a different approach to filling cracks.
Cool project, but you may want to put a sealant of some kind on the metal leaf since you didn't use 24k gold. The stuff you used can oxidize.
What kind of sealant would work here and remain clear?
@@CNGarofalo same question!
I always taught my students that design is not always about planning every detail.
Not sure who first said it but I always reinforced that 'Design is a conscious decision making process'.
Your project reflected this outlook. You followed a process you had in your head, worked with it, consciously made changes and adapted - that is design. Congrats on a great outcome. (I wonder if adding some depressions/grooves in the wet mix might have helped generate the cracks where you wanted thm.) BB
This was so pleasing to watch. Love that you didn’t trash the whole project and created something immensely gorgeous. This would sell for hundreds if not thousands in stores!!
It is super gorgeous! Just make sure that your seal that gold leaf. It will tarnish and or rub off. IF you want the concrete to stay matte and the gold shiny then just brush sealer onto the leaf.
Bravo my friend! Way to recover a WIN from a near failure! I love how the gold looks in those cracks 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I love the fact, how you did not took such mistake to heart but turned it into a beautiful piece of art, which in my opinion looks even better! I need to recreate this for my living room ❤️
This piece is absolutely gorgeous. As soon as I saw it come to life as a low-profile table I thought how cool would it look as a trio of "nesting" coffee tables to become even more of a sculptural statement? Great job!!
It might not be as much of a live edge look, but you could use a grinder to cut some relief joints and then hit the concrete and it should break along that. If that makes sense
yoooo this turned out super clean, I kinda want to make this table.
How much could it cost?
its great to see that you stayed calm when things went wrong and tried to find a solution before tossing it away and it came out beautifully.
Result is amazing looking! Lesson: Never give up and see where it leads you!
Looks awesome! Is the gold fragile when exposed like that? I would be worried that it is going to wear away with use. Maybe some epoxy in the veins would protect it?
I’m not a builder at all but I watch these types of videos bc I find them interesting and this is probably the first time I’ve wanted to build something from a video. I wish I was able to so bad 😭😭😭
Love !!! Glad you kept going even when it didn’t go the way you intended! Still came out with a beautiful piece
Just started m y Ryobi tool kit. I keep watching what tools you use. I love them so far (with my two tools, lol (drill and saw)) Cant wait til I have more tools!! Your videos give me so much inspiration to build things for my new house. Thanks for all your work!
Bro! This is your most beautiful /creative piece to date.
I have a question: could you have coated the table with a clear kinda finish to protect the gold?
you should.
i paint orthodox cristian icons and use a lot of golden leaves (i use real gold for icons, and cheaper versions for sketches), you should always put a protective layer on the cured gold, because its very easy to scratch of.
@@wapnicawapnica9745 What would you use for that? Clear epoxy? Or is there something better?
Ricardo Melo it’s hard to say, because I’ve never put golden leaves on surfaces that are used so often
I would resin it
Your my hero for this! I've loved kintsugi ever since I discovered it! its so underappreciated!
Big props to you and your friend that made this suggestion. It turned out awesome! Great recovery 👍🏽
Nice but....... you could of atleast painted the plywood under the concrete black to match with the legs . But other than that 10/10
ye, thought the same
"We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents" as Bob Ross would say :3
Gold leaf is so gratifying to work with. I just recently did a woodworking project with it at the Marc Adams school of woodworking. Love the way this table turned out Mike! Way to problem solve. You ended up with a beautiful piece of art!
This is amazing, I really want to see you work on more Kintsugi projects like this, well done!
"So I'm In love with this project, especially considering that it came out of a complete failure"
Him: I'm no gonna show you he finished project yet
Me: Fast-forwards because idowhatiwant
This is the best part of DIY woodworking is that when we fail and we all do. It is what you do next that sets you apart. I recently messed up a build and it turned out better then I had planned Haha. This build is definitely one of my most favorite builds of yours so far. Keep up the great work
THATS freaking gorgeous! Love how you didn’t initially have the intent to use the kintsugi method on this piece which keeps it authentic to the japanese philosophy of wabi sabi.
Hey can we get an update video on your boys clothing store?
D Addison yeah I’m building more stuff for it soon 🤙🏻
Gold leaf is supposed to be applied to the adhesive with a horse tail brush and you should have taken credit for this genius idea, because it is a genius idea.
This came out so great! Im Considering doing this when I have a house and space to put a coffee table 😍😍😍 saved the video for later
I just adore how you save this project and nailed it. Not a waste at all.
WHY ARE YOU YELLING AT ME ALL THE TIME?
I love that you accepted to promote "Care/of" Yes give detailed information about yourself to a random company that claims will personalize some vitamins, that you have no way to know if they are personalized at all, except for the name of the packaging and the information that they will be able to sell.
Dude, nice build, but be a little more informed, honest, thoughtful and careful when endorsing products. Because, it will or should hurt your channel.
Agree. Also if they're selling something you've never heard of then odds on its not something you need in your diet let alone "a vitamin".
This is amazing! I would have never guessed it wasn't the original intended design - nice work!
Probably one of my fav projects you've made, so dope! KINTSUGI
It's "kaaw-k" it's not "cawl-k"... you can say it. We're mostly adults here. ;)
"video sponsored by pseudoscience"
Been watching your vid4os for about 3 years and love everything! Please keep up the good work.
I like this way better than what it would have looked like if everything went as planned. I’m impressed that you were able to switch gears and still make something great!
This is just wonderful. The first video of yours I've seen, but it really shows how to make the best out of a series of errors. Beautiful table!
That gold offsets the dark concrete so well. Great way to adapt and overcome! Looks awesome, might have to try this one day!
My man, one of the best looking projects you’ve done, even if by accident! So nice 👍🏻
Wow - I really love the end result. Looks modern and classy, laissez-faire chic. I'm tempted to try something similar - thanks for all the tips and info - informative and inspirational.
I love this!! I’m glad you didn’t give up! I’ll be doing this for a coffee table
It is AMAZING! My grandma and greatgrandma loved it as well👏🌿
Beautiful! I want to make some pieces for my courtyard garden, looks like natural gold veins, lovely!
I’m binge watching these videos and I’m obsessed! I’m an architecture student and I’m really interested in interior and furniture design, I really hope to one day have my own studio. Anyways this channel has been really inspiring thank you 🙏
Looks great and I love the 'history' and beauty kintsugi brings to a piece.
I like how little bits of the gold leaf got into little holes in the concrete around the cracks. All just super tiny and giving it a bit of extra shine.
I'm glad you kept your cool when things went wrong. What a beautiful table.
This is so dope!! Possibly my favorite modern builds project yet. Great work, Mike!
Everything happens for a reason, no? This came out amazing. I'll have to try this! Lovely.
Wow! This turned out beautifully!
I subscribed to you based on the mishaps and your honesty about them. Nice job in the end!
I feel so dumb, because I love kintsugi and I never thought about applying it to something else than mugs... Love your creativity, as always ! Congrats !
This table is stunning
This looks amazing!! 😍 I have to confess I laughed at you struggling to flip it! 🙈
Where have you been all my life. I simply love what you have done with what could have a disaster outcome to this incredible coffee table. I am inspired and will be getting my crete on over the Christmas Holiday's. Thanks guy. x
This is absolutely mindblowing
Great job. The flipping over part had me rolling. That's what I look like when I try to lift my projects alone.
Certified Banger! Turned out looking great! The gold details make it!
wow, honestly one of the coolest diys i've ever seen.
Sooooo good!! You stayed cool and turned the break into an amazing opportunity!!
I love this some much!!! The result looks like something that might be super expensive at a gallery furniture store.
This table turned out TOO DOPE 🙌🏼 Love it
Can't believe how beautiful it turned out! I would have thrown it all away! Nice perseverance!
This is accidentally my favorite furniture project you've done!
That’s probably the best build comeback I have ever seen. The end product is probably way better than the ended piece! 🙌🏼
I just bumped into these videos. This dude is so cool upbeat and enthusiastic. Lovn it.
I love this look! Nice job Mike
Gorgeous result!
It came out totally awesome... It says we learn from our mistakes... Loved it.. ❤️❤️
I was looking for more information about kintsugi and I was really liking the look of this table. I would have made my own legs out of old metal though. If the concrete were strong enough to do without the wood on the bottom, I would try setting something like a t-nut into it. Thank you for sharing.
Wow, absolutely STUNNING!!! 💥
This turned out pretty awesome, LOVE IT!
Gold star on that mistake turnaround. It looks incredible! 👍
Cool piece. I couldn't help but notice the chill tracks you used for music. It was quite enjoyable overall.
I think its look amazing as mounted wall decor. Turned out beautiful!
I love your video!! This is my first video and Im impressed. You are being honest and transparent! I love it! I just subscribed!
I think that is such a pretty table. Well done. It looks amazing.
Amazing creativity on this one!
Wow turned out so beautiful 😍😍😍!!!
Close to 1M subscribers. I remember subscribing and watching your videos when you had only 20K subscribers. Wooow so proud of you man.
Wow!) Very stylish finish
Great save! Thanks for sharing your salvaged build! Inspirational!
The COOLEST mistake ever!!! ❤️ it!! I think I want to try it!
And it still came out dope!!! Great job!!!
