I'm the winner of this beautiful table and I am so incredibly grateful for the amazing work Morley put into creating this special piece. It fits perfectly in my home and am looking forward to enjoying it for years to come 😍😍😍! Thank you so much Morley!
No wonder everyone loves you here. You are so clear and engaging, joyful and interesting. You make it all understandable for us non-builders here too. Thanks for inviting all of us into your creative processes. You do genius work and the tally at the end of time and costs is really helpful too. By the way, love your hair.
instead of using glue to fill bubbles you can use uv resin its quick and no big invest and you can put same pigment in it like in your epoxy resin. as always great table! nice work!
Great work! Just to save you some time on sanding. Rubio only requires you to go to a 180 grit sanding. Spread it out and let it cure for 24 hours, you can go over it with a polishing pad (maroon pad), do a second coat, and its done! Love these videos.
I'm very thankful that you give new woodworkers and DIYers your entire working process and cost breakdown. It's such a nice personal touch that you do to your videos that make your content always exciting to watch. Thank you for making the videos that you make!
Morley my BF’s 13 yr old and I have binge watched you while recouping from a cold. You are BY FAR our absolute Favorite woodworking, surviving 7 days in the wild, van living, adventure having, ingenious solution finding UA-cam personality. We’ve agreed you have a great attitude and are fun to listen to. We’ve watched some other interesting table makers who are fine but don't come anywhere near your educational and entertaining qualities. Then we saw this!! Your humanity, humility, humor coupled with your generosity is awesome! Thank you for setting such a great example
I love watching Canadian makers. And woodworking is my new/new again love. Watching your videos brightens my day and inspires me. I love that you use unusual materials that might otherwise go to waste. I myself upcycle old copper wire from construction sites into woven wire jewelry, so that aspect of your work really resonates with me. Also, you're practically local (London ON).
You’re the only channel where I’m finding myself watching the entire 20 minute video from start to Finnish. Great job man love your work and your channel
I am from the Netherlands (Europe) and watch all your videos and love them. Whatever you make, you do it with passion. And yes, sometimes things go wrong, but you learn from that. Greetings from me and also to your great help if you need a few extra hands.
That's the thing with Epoxy and other finishes - you get stressed when you rough up between coats, or do some sanding that looks a little uneven. When the liquid hits, it just goes away. I had issues with some clear epoxy on 2 knot holes and I had to drill into them, rough up a little bit, vacuum it out and refill. Came out perfectly clear, amazing.
Great table! It looks small enough, but in the future maybe consider adding some recessed c-channels in the bottom to keep the slab from warping. Also, pretty sure that wood is Spalted Maple 😎
Just love the fact that you don't have a big fancy workshop like a lots of the dudes on here and thousands of pounds of equipment. Kitchen table, improvised tools and mistakes that haven't been cropped to show that nothing ever goes wrong 👌Oh and some good funky music 🤛
I'm so glad you didn't fill or cover up the worm/bug holes. They are some of my favorite patterns to find in nature, specifically the little maze type ones on limbs.
I love your work and I think it is awesome that you do things for others. Your use of reclaimed wood is very commendable. I am very happy when I see that you have a new video up. Thank you.
I wish I knew your channel before I want to Canada. Went to Toront last year right about this time of the year. Loved Toronto, maybe someday I move there. Like your videos very Much Morley. Wish you made more of those videos you go to a place and fix strangers thing with 3D printed Parts!!! Wish you the best!!
Andddd then 1500 hours of setting up camera, filming, moving camera, and editing 😂 great job I appreciate the openness of showing your little mistakes and frustrations.
I love watching you doing the work! Just having your videos on the background while i'm working or even while i'm having a lunch sorta relief my stress about this working life. I love how you're so excited about your work and it's just inspiring for me. Keep on a good work Morley! And congratulations OceanAI for the new table 🎉
morley your work is just sick!!! you knocked it out of the park!!! i found you by chance and fell in love with everything you do!!! i can’t wait to show my wife your channel. My wife rehabs furniture so she will love your channel. your fan from Texas!!
great project, small suggestions for the legs: wildlycommon "axis" or plane, i.e. trace out the lines of the legs on the back of the table, so the diagonally opposing legs are in a straight line. noticeable
Great use of a wood piece that can't be used as it was (probably not structural unless it was combined with something else, like resin) It turned out amazing!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. The end result was really beautiful. Tbh when you said you would give it away, I thought that you would give it to your mom. But the way you did it now is even better.. You should frame her letter and hang it in your workshop.
@@MorleyKert i work with my dad and pa and they build things but I’m a helper basically. I just turned 18 but I’m going to start building custom dog houses and bird houses to put up on my dads shop soon! Thank you for your awesome videos bro I love them all! 💪🏼
Possible idea to reduce void clean up. Bead of silicone around the void, flat cardboard on top and tape the edges of card. I’ve done it for a different purpose so maybe could work for this
Great job! It is said you should tithe 10% of your income. It maintains the flow of prosperity. Given the love you put into your work you should receive 10 fold back on you gift.
Great job. You might be able to avoid the problem you had with removing the tape if you apply the tape to raw wood and apply the epoxy to the tape side later in your process.
since this video is a mushy positivity fest , i'll chime in. I found your videos by way of the "new to you" tab on youtube. It's basically content outside my algorithm and it was one of the videos where you do free repairs for your community. I went to your channel and saw all of your other videos and you were very open and positive about your making process. My best friend gets very anxious when she has to think about things and shes told me your videos in particular are a big help and shes looking into woodworking/ ,maker spaces now. keep being gr8 and forgive my poor grammar, english is my first language but i dont care that much :)
Hiya Morley wr are viewing from the UK totally love what you do with your projects using pallets recycle wood that would no doubt being landfill excellent ❤
I've been making river keychains for a bit (no sales, but that's another story 🙂) and discovered early on that sheathing tape sucks for anything you want non-permanent. I moved to cheap, clear, packing tape, but in the end, cheap, dollar store green painters tape works *much* better. Even direct pours using the tape as the mold sides, and it peels off the resin clean. The cheap adhesive doesn't leave near as much residue as brand name painter's tape. Just my two cents 🤷♂ Love the content, and thanks for the tip on the drill block. Never seen one, but I can darn sure use it.
I just found your videos and love your ideas especially using old pieces. Thank you for showing your easy way to understand this process and continue to update us with new projects.
My suggestion have been to epoxy in some threaded but sim the under side or custom metal tapped metal plates so the legs were attached by screwing bolts into threaded metal rather than wood.
next time you can drill a hole to the corner of the leg and the table and put there wooden pegs. This should lower the wobble at the corners so the table will feel more sturdy. Just an idea when watching at 13:46
Mix in acetone into your epoxy so its a 9:1 ratio epoxy:Acetone so it flows into small areas really easy in the future. acetone dries out quickly so it doesn't effect it at all
Hey Morley, I love watching your videos and also find your 3D print one's fascinating. You are very talented and inspiring. Keep up the great work and keep making videos. From Brae, Melbourne, Australia. 👍🙂
Great build Morley! I know you had your hiccups at the end but that work on the slab was well done and the end product looked amazing. Congratulations to the winner of the giveaway!
Great job on a difficult piece. I honestly thought that you were going to give the piece to the guy that gave you the slab in the first place. Nice work.
I also give away most of my miniature furniture I make. I have a hard time to put a price tag on the things I make, sure looking at others that make dollhouse furniture take a very large amount of money for the things they make that are half the quality I make, but I still have a hard time asking for money. I need to be better at it, but I also get the joy of giving someone things they want to have me do for them. Even if I would have got a bunch of money from them.
First time watcher, new sub. I really enjoyed this video! Like, actually… the ending was wholesome AF. We need more of that in this world, especially these days. ✌️💪
I would without a doubt contact you to have a chance of winning that super fine table, but I live all the way up in Sweden.. Great to see a new upload anyhow!
Lovely gesture mate and a great experience all round. Every time you get some horrible YT comments that tick you off you can go back and read the 100 messages from folks appreciating your work 😃😃
If the table wasn’t all that sturdy, then the legs just needed a better structure. They were just screwed onto the top, but if you had each leg with a structure and ultimately a spine going across it. Then there would have been no structural issues to me. That seems like an easy fix to me. That seems like an easy fix but I’m glad that you made your own legs this time.
It looks like some kinda Spalted maple or beech. I think it's a nice looking top my only critique would be the legs and I would of filled the holes with a coloured resin but again that's just my opinion. Looks good though. 🏴👍
hi, nice built - but you really shouldnt use epoxy in your living area (or without a respirator)! Apparently in your country the manufacturer isnt required to put the warning labels directly on the containers!
I would have sealed the insides first then used tuck tape to seal one side while filling holes and finally sealed the top and filled in the top side holes. Your tape probably bonded to the epoxy slightly and that is why it was so diffficult to remove. Sheathing tape on semicured epoxy should be avoided I suppose. Love your videos btw!

Congrats! It looked so great inside when he delivered it to you! Enjoy the gorgeous table
Thank you😁
Congratulations 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🎉
That table matches so well inside your house holy crap
It looked perfect in your space! 💖💖
I think it’s the charisma, good vibes I get from this guy that makes watching this videos pleasant. Love your work, that table is awesome.
Even though you have a running time I don't think many people realize how much work goes into something like this! Good job Morley 👏🏻

That’s awesome to hear! Thanks for watching 😊
Me too, every single video from start to finish, some of them I have watched 2, 3, even 5 times over. Love it man 😊
Man that table fit the space perfectly!
That's awesome you gave it away. It's por ably her favorite piece of furniture in the entire house. Handmade and gifted personally from it's creator.
Your wife and mother must be so proud of you. Watching your videos inspire me to want to take up woodworking again.
I love the grain marks that look like an old 16th century treasure map
I am from the Netherlands (Europe) and watch all your videos and love them. Whatever you make, you do it with passion. And yes, sometimes things go wrong, but you learn from that.
Greetings from me and also to your great help if you need a few extra hands.
Wish I watched this video a few days ago when I came out. I'm in Rochester NY, and would of happily drove 3 hours to Ontario.
That's the thing with Epoxy and other finishes - you get stressed when you rough up between coats, or do some sanding that looks a little uneven. When the liquid hits, it just goes away.

Wow it fit the space perfectly! Congrats Araba, your living room and table looks beautiful!!!
Thank you! I love it😆
Great table! It looks small enough, but in the future maybe consider adding some recessed c-channels in the bottom to keep the slab from warping. Also, pretty sure that wood is Spalted Maple 😎
I came to say I believe it’s spalted maple also
I love the content creators' positivity and "can do" attitude!
Just love the fact that you don't have a big fancy workshop like a lots of the dudes on here and thousands of pounds of equipment. Kitchen table, improvised tools and mistakes that haven't been cropped to show that nothing ever goes wrong 👌Oh and some good funky music 🤛
Appreciate all your content. Thanks for being awesome.
I'm so glad you didn't fill or cover up the worm/bug holes. They are some of my favorite patterns to find in nature, specifically the little maze type ones on limbs.
Some 🍬 🍬 for the work! Looking forward some 3D printed solution soon!
I love your work and I think it is awesome that you do things for others. Your use of reclaimed wood is very commendable. I am very happy when I see that you have a new video up. Thank you.

Thank you so much! More 3D printed repairs are definitely coming soon, it was just a bit tricky with the winter and the move.
Great work Morley! I am all business myself but seeing you give this away as a gift was really touching.
Andddd then 1500 hours of setting up camera, filming, moving camera, and editing 😂 great job I appreciate the openness of showing your little mistakes and frustrations.
You’re skills are really improving
I like your use of new tools, you inspired me to make a charcuterie board finishing it up this weekend!
That’s awesome! Thanks for watching 😊
Cross-bracing the legs with interlocking beams of hardwood towards the top would absolutely fix that wobble
That ladies house is beautiful. That table looked perfect in there. She'll love it!
After watching your video, I ordered that moisture meter and that drill block. Thanks for the info. Great video.
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching :)
I love watching you doing the work! Just having your videos on the background while i'm working or even while i'm having a lunch sorta relief my stress about this working life.

Nice build! I just finished a coffee table very much like yours… I used a spalted elm slab, and it looks very much like your slab.
morley your work is just sick!!! you knocked it out of the park!!! i found you by chance and fell in love with everything you do!!! i can’t wait to show my wife your channel. My wife rehabs furniture so she will love your channel. your fan from Texas!!

I've used regular clear packing tape. It's cheaper, holds just as well but comes off easier. Give it a try
Great video. Thanks for sharing. The end result was really beautiful. Tbh when you said you would give it away, I thought that you would give it to your mom. But the way you did it now is even better.. You should frame her letter and hang it in your workshop.

I won’t!

@@typowers101 That's awesome! Good luck with your builds and thanks for watching :)
woodworking AND a onewheel in the back? love it!
Lovely table and super nice way to end the video by gifting it to a local person.
omg you have that table away on my birthday!😂 that’s so cool. i’m really glad she likes it, amazing job morley!!
I am pretty sure that it's spalted maple!😀such a beautiful table! keep it up Morley!!
when you cut the wood with your track saw, the edge had the look of ambrosia maple to me. its definitely a beautiful wood.
It is maple. There is some nice spalting on it.
Found your channel by accident, and I absolutely love your work.. I subscribed and hit the notification bell 😂😊
Table looks incredible
Possible idea to reduce void clean up. Bead of silicone around the void, flat cardboard on top and tape the edges of card. I’ve done it for a different purpose so maybe could work for this

THIS WHY A LOT OF PPL USE A MAPP GAS TORCH ON THE TOP TO HELP BRING THE AIR OUT OF THE EPOXY. THAT SPALETED WOOD LOOKS NICE THOUGH
Beautiful table and that was amazing you gave it away 💖 You should get Lasix, I had Lasix 7 years ago, I'd have it again if I needed it
Great job. You might be able to avoid the problem you had with removing the tape if you apply the tape to raw wood and apply the epoxy to the tape side later in your process.
Love you're energy. I wonder if that one leg could be turned a little to stabilize.

Great piece of work, Morley! Working with slabs is very technical so props to you! Tuning in from the UK

That was a great thing you done giving the table to a fan well done you
Hi Morley, can you do a bit more of 3d printing and F360 tutorials and tips? You had helped me a ton! Fan from the Philippines!!!!
3D printing/F360 video coming this weekend!
Mix in acetone into your epoxy so its a 9:1 ratio epoxy:Acetone so it flows into small areas really easy in the future. acetone dries out quickly so it doesn't effect it at all
That lady was so nice and deserving! :)
Looks like myrtlewood. My grandpa had a myrtlewood tree that fell and it had that cool fungus lines looks identical.
I can't wait for in the future when Morley has a proper woodworking shop! Love the channel!
❤️❤️

Great job on a difficult piece. I honestly thought that you were going to give the piece to the guy that gave you the slab in the first place. Nice work.
stay up, king 👑
You can use surgical waterproof tape - it can hold much better and it is amazing and not that expensive
Great video!! I live in Orillia!! I was just surprised that you mentioned in the Instagram post😂
Gorgeous work! 💖 The legs can be reinforced if needed
you make me wanna get back into woodworking
I also give away most of my miniature furniture I make.

I need to be better at it, but I also get the joy of giving someone things they want to have me do for them. Even if I would have got a bunch of money from them.
Instead of tape, pour a couple of mm of epoxy in the empty tray. Then add the slab, let it set, and then pour the main pour.
First time watcher, new sub. I really enjoyed this video! Like, actually… the ending was wholesome AF. We need more of that in this world, especially these days. ✌️💪
Thank you so much!
Probably your best one yet! Fantastic work!
Thank you so much!
I would without a doubt contact you to have a chance of winning that super fine table, but I live all the way up in Sweden.. Great to see a new upload anyhow!
Man, that ✨chatoyancy✨!
That’s a new word for me! Yes, beautiful!
What you have there is
Spalted Maple in my opinion
This slab Look awesome after you did Something fromm it👍
Viel Grüße aus Deutschland 🇩🇪
Lovely gesture mate and a great experience all round. Every time you get some horrible YT comments that tick you off you can go back and read the 100 messages from folks appreciating your work 😃😃

Sick song! 🥳❤🔥💃 I'm a Dynamite. Feel like u'd be fun to party with. Great attitude & great work.
New sub great work man you inspired this Tile setter to do something with a walnut slab
hi, nice built - but you really shouldnt use epoxy in your living area (or without a respirator)! Apparently in your country the manufacturer isnt required to put the warning labels directly on the containers!
Lasik is probably one of the best things I spent money on
So stoked!
@@MorleyKert the exam to see if you qualify for LASIK takes longer than the lasik surgery.
I would have sealed the insides first then used tuck tape to seal one side while filling holes and finally sealed the top and filled in the top side holes. Your tape probably bonded to the epoxy slightly and that is why it was so diffficult to remove. Sheathing tape on semicured epoxy should be avoided I suppose. Love your videos btw!
Seathing tape is extremely hard to remove by itself. Couldn't imagine it with epoxy.
