Black Walnut // Black Epoxy // Coffee Table // How to

- I wrote up an article on Instructables for this build! Link here: goo.gl/MqCPJB
For this video, I wanted to go a little more in-depth about my finishing technique. I use General Finishes Arm-R-Seal in Satin and apply it with a foam brush. There are a few tips and tricks I have picked up to help get a smooth beautiful finish.
This coffee table was a commission project and I am very happy with how it came out! The walnut has its flaws, but the cocobolo bowties and epoxy made it into a beautiful piece of furniture. I had a problem with the epoxy pooling in the tape at the bottom which means I wasted a few ounces. Next time I'll use some foil tape to hold the seal better and prevent this waste.

What was the cartoon that got cut in towards the end? I used to watch it all the time, but I went blank on the name now.
xD Homestar Runner! I used to love that one! ua-cam.com/video/G3ds8B85gGo/v-deo.html
Yeah, we pissed many teachers off by doing the Homestar and Strongbad voices in class. One of my buddies won a bet for delivering a whole report in front of the class imitating Homestar.
Also, great looking table. I should have put that first haha. I really like the epoxy fill. I've been swamped and haven't put out my videos yet. Still trying to get my video quality up. Ordered some new lights and a shotgun mic to help as well.
HA! used to make me laugh! In case you couldn't tell, that was my voice, not the original from the cartoon ;)
@@Hubbmade Hi...great video, very informative. Curious where you had your iron brand made of your logo?
Easy to use and clean. Very convenient.
Thanks for the instructional tips
YW
Man, black walnut is some of the prettiest wood I've worked with. I even like it more than a lot of the non-domestic / exotic stuff I've built with. It doesn't grow too much around south MS. I know of one black walnut tree that is so small, yet is way older than I am. I imagine the growth rings are SO close together on that old tree.
Thanks Crafsman! I’m working on a similar table now! Check out my Instagram cuz I won’t be doing a video on it. Too similar.
Beautiful table! I love how you explain things so that a wannabe craftsman like me can believe I could make something like this.... if only I had just a little more equipment 😀
Thanks! I know it seems like I’ve gathered a lot of tools… But I really did start out making slab tables and things with a router flattening jig. Lots of people do it that way! Best of luck #MakeOn
I saw the little gaps around the bow ties that I fought for years. Here is how you can eliminate any gap at all. When you cut the bow ties leave them a 1/32 big and too deep, then sand a 2 degree bevel on the sides of it from the top side that will be seen down to the other side. that will leave a 1/64 too big bow tie at the very top on each side. When you pound them in, the top, or side seen, will be force fit to the gap and the other side, not seen side will be just right. No gaps and hold just like any other dutchman. It sounds like I am picky but when you make it as good as you did, it may matter. Nice job, I subbed.
Great stuff! Thanks for the tip!!
A Beautiful looking Table. Loved watching this video and the processes you used from start to finish of a Table build thanks. Oh loved the t-shirt as well ha ha ha.
Barry (ENG)
Thanks! Much appreciated as usual Barry!
My favorite parts were there branding and the caveman club for your chiseling. What an awesome table. It's a real beaut.
It’s a great mallet! Thanks for watching Joel!
That T-shirt though
Made me spew my drink🤣🤣🤣
Lol! I love it!!! 😂
I'm just starting to get into using epoxy and also love how the bow tie inlays look....your video was very informational for me and absolutely love how this table turned out! Hopefully someday I can make something this beautiful....thanks again for the great video🤙
Great demo and end result!
Love the Festool sander on beast mode!! Great job on the table. I need to try bow ties
Thanks! These were literally only my second and third bowties. They are not as difficult as you might think!
Oh my drum sander...
with my festool sander on rotex mode...
You sure do know how to hit my jealousy buttons. :-P
LOL! Sorry not sorry xD You do have a real nice new table saw tho!
Beautiful piece. The edges thing was funny. 👍🏼
Thank you kind sir!
Beautiful, love the black epoxy.
Thank you! Im very happy with it
Fantastic work, and a very elegant result!
Thanks so much!
Nice work instead of using the card scraper or your sander try Heating it up with a heat gun and warm it up then take a chisel and scrape it off much easier. I just subscribed to your site.
Thanks a bunch!
Great job
10:27 ...looks amazing!!
Thanks a bunch! One of my favorite builds so far!
look good
nicely done man - looks great!
Thanks a lot Nick! Means a bunch coming from you ;)
Thanks! Very informative video.
Awesome! Glad you liked it!
enjoyed your t-shirt
Hi. Since this is an old video, maybe you have changed some stuff. But nevertheless.
1) Do those extenders for your jointer work? I was thinking doing something similar... so I wonder. :)
2) The branding stamp - has anybody from your customers said that it ain't cool to have it on their purchased furniture?
Great video. Love walnut projects. Can you tell me where you got your branding iron please?? Thank you, Matt
Thank you! Tony at Hillview wood and metal made it for me. But he doesn’t do them anymore. He switched over to making block planes full-time I think
Looks great. Nice job.
Well thanks!
Nice job!!
Thanks!
Butter in the shop??? Very nice looking project. Keep up the good work buddy.
You never know when you might need some butter! Thanks a bunch!
Tried the cardboard , Great !
I’m really glad that worked for you! Thanks for the comment
woww...awesome
Прикольно сделал. Надо было края по прямой срезать ещё.
sitting here watching and dude says "alexa fan on" and my alexa says "sorry i didn't find a device named fan" LOL
Nice! That was my end goal… Really… xD
Cool table! How did you make your bland logo thing?
Thanks! I ordered it from a friend who made them with a CNC machine. He doesn’t do it anymore but you could probably Google someone who does.
6:11 that's what she said
joelnert 😆
this is excellent!
Thank you Scott! You’re very kind.
Have you try to use a silicon palet like used to clean Windows for finish a thin layer
Great work, that looks amazing. What kind of epoxy is that at 9:29 on the shelf, and where did you get it? The reason I ask is because I ordered some that looked similar and I havent recieved it yet after about 3 weeks.
Thanks for watching. That epoxy is from Pro Marine Supplies, but I got it on Amazon amzn.to/2szaTO9
That is way too long to wait tho, I'd send em an email if you haven't already.
@@Hubbmade will do, thanks for the info, happy building! Lol
Got any info on that router attachment to your delta table saw? Need that!
Ha! I wish… It’s more of a homemade solution. I found a router table top for cheap and attached it with some bolts plus melamine to fill in the gap’s. I just recently got a small Kreg router table to replace it.
Good video. Nice piece. Where did you order your Brandin iron and what did it cost you. I'd like to get one I just can't really afford much
I had a friend make it but he doesn’t do it anymore. Cost me about $150
Really nice table! Would it be ok to have the bowties be on the bottom side of your table instead? I personally really don't like the look of them.
It would be OK from a stability standpoint but it would also be overkill since most people do the bowties because they like how they look. If they were going to be out of sight you might as well recess a piece of metal under the table to make it simpler. Hope that helps!
I would be Interested to know how much you sold this for.
Lol my Alexa is looking for a fan now
Ha! Nice
where can I get a branding iron like that?
I had someone with a metal cnc make it but he doesn’t do it anymore. Try googling custom cnc work
Did it wobble?
Nope
beautiful wood, excellent workmanship - ruined by some $4.99 ebay legs.
How is it ruined? The purpose of hairpin legs is to not distract from the table top. Not meant to be a focal point. Not to mention, when selling projects like this, hairpin legs significantly reduce the price of the project for the client. Makes them much more affordable. Adding custom wood legs of equal material can double the price.
What's the difference between the finishing oil and like a wipe on poly ? Anything ? I dont know I'm extremely new ....help?
In this video I used a type of Poly made by General Finishes. After it was dry I used a furniture wax to buff the surface. You can use this furniture wax AFTER almost any finish is dry and cured to give it a nice look and feel. hope that helps.
@@Hubbmade
So a couple coats of oil?
Then a type of poly (wipe on?)?
Then an optional coat of wax ( which you mixed with mineral spirits)?
@@slowandcurious9455 There is no oil. do you mean the epoxy? you can do 3-5 coats of wipe on poly, then give it a few days to fully cure, then optional wax to finish.
@@Hubbmade ok thanks. As you can tell I'm extremely new to this and I'm taking on my first project. So if I just do a 2-3 coats wipe on poly and then finish with a wax I'll be ok (for a coffee table) ???
@@Hubbmade thanks for taking the time to explain and help a newbie. I subbed and I'm greatly appreciative for the information.
where did you get your company label made?
A machinist friend, but he’s not taking orders anymore.
Hey what does something like that sell for?
I think it depends on who makes it and who it’s for. I sold this to repeat customer friends for $600 but could have gotten maybe $800-$1000
where did you get the branding iron?
Look up Hillview wood and metal on Instagram. I don’t think he does them for commission anymore though
The electronic background noises are irksome.
3:40 "alexa fan on" and my alexa responds lol
Ha! Love it
@@Hubbmade quick question. I recently got a slab similar to yours. What would happen if I dont do the stabilizing with butter fly prior to epoxy?
@@minimin0425 I just depends on how big the crack is. With this slab I could have gotten away with no bowties but if the crack was any bigger the slab could shift after the epoxy is hard and it'll break loose. It doesnt even have to have a bowtie or butterfly shape. Some people do them on the bottom of the slab in a simple straight line for a 1-2 inch by 4-6 in board fits in. that would give the slab/epoxy enough stability.
@@Hubbmade thank you so much for the explanation! I'm a beginner at wood working and it's my first attempt at epoxy so I've been doing A LOT of research as I heard many horror stories 😂
minimin0425 UA-cam is a great resource! Check out my friend Cam at Blacktail studios for a lot of great epoxy resources. He teaches a live class as well if you’re close to Portland Oregon. Good luck!
good to know you pooped that day lol
XD thanks for watching!
@@Hubbmade lol very nice table I might add also, I liked the bowties added also they added to the table :)
That harbor freight sand paper is horrible...try anything different
