"I'm only working with 1/4 inch shank. Sorry ladies.". Lol
For all the stupid complains about this video, I would suggest you click on the off key and stop watching.
Too late now but I hope they took Xrays to check for bone fragments in the injury? I'm not a 'no it all' but a Construction Medic who has dealt with many injuries like this and worse. Tetanus shot??
No xrays but it was well washed and checked out. No issues now and you can't even see a scar now, which is crazy. Luckily i recently had a tetanus shot before this hapend haha. Thanks for watching roger and hope you subscribed.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video SO much. Looks so awesome. Can't wait to try my hand at a river project when it gets a bit warmer out this summer
should have put some epoxy on your finger and polished it, HEY PRESTO, NO SCARS,
Haha! Right! If only it was that easy. Thanks for watching sharron.
you hurt your finger during this project? sorry man.
btw, what is the strength between epoxy and wood? since the table surface was attached to the wall with only the inner edge, I am wondering how much weight you can put on the outer edge of the table.
Ooooo that’s right haha! The strength between epoxy and wood is increasingly strong. No worries their. If I had to worry about strength I would have bigger wall fasteners in order to hold more weight. Thanks for watching and the support GO!
RE the brackets or pins coming out from the wall that go into the back of the shelf. Do they spin on a shaft and are the off center so you can turn them to compensate for the holes not being exactly in the same plane? Not sure if I'm being clear.
I think i know what you are getting at. Holes are in the same plane but when screwing them in they did seam to be slightly adjustable so you can lean them up slightly or down slightly if needed. Is that clear on my end? haha
Great job on the video! May I ask what you used for the rails used with the router sled? Thanks.
Great to hear Allen and I just used some simple 1"x1" aluminum L metal. However, If you try and recreate this, try to use steel. That way you can avoid small dips in the router sled when you are moving it across. Thanks for watching.
Really cool work. Although a router works well to get the warp out, a planer does work and is a lot faster! I’ve used both.
You’ll have to teach me your tricks with the planet beau haha. I tried but with no luck which is why I made a router sled. Thanks for watching and the support.
you know after routering the first side, you could have just used your planer since it's not referencing off of a flat side.
Cool video. Is that a Ridgeback (without the ridge)? I had a Ridgeback a few years ago. Best dog I've ever had.
We get that all of the time. He looks a lot like one but he is a big mutt. 7 different things haha! But he’s an amazing dog none the less.
Thanks for watching and hope you subscribed.
@@BYOTools I'm subbed. Have been for a while now.
@@BYOTools I would bet you anything he has Ridgeback blood. I think it's pretty easy to spot. Anyway, this is about your woodworking skills - which are top notch. Well done.
would it matter if a planer is used instead of the router?
A planet works great! Just make sure your board is straight/ flat on one side. Thanks for watching Arbin and hope you enjoyed the video.
If you use your router sled to remove the bow in the wood before you send it through the planer, you only have to flatten that 1 side, the planer will bring the other side parallel reducing the amount of labor with the router. Also remember to leave enough length so you can cut off the snipe at the end that the planer leaves.
Hey man great work there, please give suggestion on how to keep the the pearl powder from sinking to the bottom
Mine always sinks to the bottom 😔
Interesting. If your having issues I would say that you should set a timer for yourself to come back when the epoxy is curing and thickening. If it’s a little thicker then it will be easier for the pigment to solidify in place. Hope that works and thanks so much for watching.
Or should I just keep the epoxy in bucket unless it is a little less viscous
Try a clear caulk inside the mold box. a thin bead of the quick dry clear latex will not interfere with the build. I also wipe the interior of my box with wd-40 silicone spray into a clean rag. Makes it "non stick" and easier to reuse my mold for the next project. my walls attached to the base with piano hinges, they just swing away and are ready for the next build. Its a little extra work to build the reusable mold but saves a shitton of time in the future. It adds up, especially if you have a standard size like cutting boards or furniture tops.
Love all of the helpful tips. Thanks so much for sharing and I’ll definitely have to try out you piano hinge idea. Thanks for watching also and hope you enjoyed the video.
Youre a weird guy, Ace. Weird guy..
Your not the first guy to say that Shean haha! You gotta keep it interesting right?! Thanks for watching.
Can u explain why Paliner cant flaten the wood
If it twisted u can use flat mdf as base then anchor your wood on the top
Love the video! Can anyone tell me what the name of the product is that was used underneath as a release film? I’d like to search it. Thanks.
Andrew Ryle maybe stretch wrap .

Haha! Great to hear Antonio. Thanks for watching and the support.
I really like your instruction in a magazine i seen one with them and it was really half ass and incomplete. They went up to the point of routing. And thats when it ended . Im thinking if you wet sand the epoxy youll get a really nice glass finish I want to do one using Blue Turquoise , Pearl , and some Clear Color shift Powder . I really think this would come out bad ass ..
Hes such a kyle, but he knoes what hes doing
what means kyle?
@@182port I would suggest urban dictionary to find out
he probably knows how to spell "knows" too. . .
Oh man! He talks like Kyle from the youtube channel Kyle, it's hard to understand some of it.
@@et6521 The urban dictionary is for the inane that can't speak English.
Your router sled is ingenious and thank you for sharing it. I never thought to use right angle iron. Awesome job on the table, it came out great!
Great to hear Joseph. Thanks for watching.
Like the vid but the commentary is a bit sickly.
"Sorry Ladies" maahaahahahaaa!
Coming from the "keyboard warrior" here... how often do you talk to people? 0111010 0101001010 11011 101010 01010101 1101 010101
This is what I needed, someone explaining what finish they're using. I'm new to this stuff and with limited tools too, so I'm restricted to smaller projects. Your project looks beautiful, like marble. I've mostly been sticking to see-through colorants (that's probably not what they're called) but you totally changed my mind on pearlescent ones.
Love these types of comments. Always try to show all of the steps needed for a project and glad to hear this video helped. Thanks for watching
nice video! do you maybe have a link to where youve got your scraper from?
Great to hear Aron. Here’s the link to the place I purchased it from. It’s in Seattle. Hopefully you have a place like this near you. Thanks for watching.

Great to hear Jamie. Thanks for watching and the support.
Woodprix is a solid company with solid woodworking plans.
Great job! It seems that your epoxy wood was warping/bending. Is it caused by epoxy shrinkage?
Good question and no. The wood started out warped which is why I had to use that router sled. I used the wrong epoxy for that thick of a pour but that is not what caused the warp. Thanks for watching.
Great job !!
Great to hear mike and thanks so much for watching. Hope you subscribed.
👍👍👍
Thank you for sharing. Quick suggestion. You reference other videos by saying "Episode #__" which is excellent; however, the episode numbers aren't included in the video titles, which negates the point of referencing them. Including them in the titles would be beneficial to all.
Again, thank you. I'm going to use the DIY router sled you did.
Hi Chris;
Thank you for the suggestion because I completely agree. I changed all of my recent video Thumbnails and removed the Numbers that I included in all of my thumbnails at a curtain point. I'll most likely start adding the numbers to the titles or at least add UA-cam Cards in my videos when I reference another video. Thanks for watching!
Wow, very 👍

Haha Right?! Thanks for watching Billy and for subscribing. Much appreciate the support.
I would be worried ppl would try sitting on it lol
haha! True but it hasn't happened yet.
Sorry ladies....... just spewed my beer
Any polypropylene plastic...but werent you using melamine boards? Epoxy releases from melamine. Plastic film unnecessary....planers will take warps out..just need to figure out the warped side then there is a little process to work it out
great information and the final product looks great man!

"...sorry ladies." LOL! 😂 The shelf looks fantastic. Your quick router jig is genius.
Great to hear Ted. Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the router jig.
Hi, novice wood worker here. I have a question on making rip cuts with a circular saw. I am working on a similar live edge project and wanted to rip a slab of black walnut in 1/2. I had a straight edge guide but my cuts are still a little off.
How do I correct these edges to make a square and straight edge???
How are they off? I use a large carpenter square, which allows me to make sure I have a true 90 degree angle. amzn.to/3iBrrO5 Thanks for watching Quan.
@@BYOTools So I had a black walnut slab 2'x 4'x 2" and I wanted to rip it in half. I had a straight edge that I set up with my circular saw, but in the middle of the slab I noticed I deviated from the edge and my cuts arent perfectly straight. At this point, would it be petter to proceed with the epoxy pour then use the carpenter square to straighten up my sides?
Couldn't listen past the 1:30 mark. BTW, Richard Simmons called, he wants his voice back
Man...that looks amazing ! Great job !
Great to hear and thanks for watching BLP. If you liked this one check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/s3aDc-ML9Mg/v-deo.html Same piece of wood but it is a matching side table with wireless charging port. LOVE IT!

Man. Stop talking like that. You be good too do like kids show. Like annoying shows
Please clarify KP without using the word “like” haha! Thanks for watching.
Amazing! Sorry about your finger 😭🙏🏼❤️
Thanks for watching and the support Serel. Finger is all better now.
Once you have a flattened side you can just run it through the thickness planer with the flat side down. You can also use your melamine as a mounting board, hot glue your wood to it and just run it through until you have your flat side.
I love floating shelves, but this is really quite deep for those pins, you’re going to have a lot of cantilever weight on the front edge. You can use rebar or threaded rod if you need larger pins.
A fat cat is a cat that gets too much foot from its owner and thereby becomes lazy, no longer killing mice and doing its job of killing vernem.
thanks for the informative video. just curious if the black epoxy migrated to the edges of your river naturally, or did you paint that in? shelf looks beautiful.
@BYOT, how did you get the edges smoky dark??
OMMA- LLAMA good question. It actually happened naturally. Don’t know why but it turned out to be a good mistake haha. Thanks for watching and the support

Until some one accidentally sits on it.
Haha! Yep definitely not one to sit on but it works for misc. items to put on a shelf. Thanks for watching though.
Trust me, it's an advertisement.
great video !!!
question, i often read you have to work with layers of max 1-2 cm because of the chemical reaction of the epoxy getting hot af, but here the epoxy didnt make problems. can you give me some information about it.
thanks
Good question. Yes that is correct and I did have that issue with the epoxy getting too hot but since I since I was able to plane the wood down with my router sled it wasn't an issue. If you use this epoxy or another epoxy that is not specifically used for thick epoxy pours like Ecopoxy then I would suggest pouring in thinner layers. Thanks for watching.
You have link for lights
Here is a link to some strip lighting. Thanks for watching: www.amazon.com/MINGER-Changing-Lighting-Flexible-Decoration/dp/B07JP5375R/ref=as_sl_pc_qf_sp_asin_til?tag=b0f86-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=3e10a0d42f6eb57112337822e3df8a4e&creativeASIN=B07JP5375R
Hot glue epoxy dam. Brilliant
Beautiful work I must say. Watching my father create beautiful pieces out of wood, that was the ugly side to getting cuts sometimes you can’t be too careful.
Thanks very much for watching and all of the support. Hopefully I won't need stitches for a while haha.
Hello..what kind of tape can be used with epoxy...love your work
Niha Pradhan I used a very generic clear packing tape. It’s very cheap and it worked perfectly. I should have a link in the description of the video. Thanks for the support.

Not sure I would trust those bolts But then again, it defeats the purpose of showing off the shelf when it is covered up with stuff.
The Capital Building has had a problem with mice since it was built. To this day there are cats at the capital building. In the rotunda there are cat paw prints in the concrete floor. That is where “Fat Cats in Washington” came from.

I don't know what this says but thanks for watching no mater what.
@@BYOTools I wrote how well you work and how great a table you made. Super! Greetings from Russia!
Sick table man. Just saying for next time once you have one truest flat side all you need to do is run the other side through the thickness planed would’ve saved time and material
Use Stonecoat Countertops supercast next time bro. Great job and video!
Thanks for the suggestions Chris. I'll have to check them out. Thanks for watching.
Use a fender washer so your wood wont split on edges.
Thanks for the tip Dave but how does a fender washer help with wood split?
When the tapered part of the screw went into the wood that's why it split...if you add a washer, it will stop it before the tapered part splits it....or use a panhead screw.
“Rises due to gravity obviously” hahahah wtf not even close guy
pretty sure that was sarcasm

How much weight the table can take? If someone sit on it?
Lol just found this channel and this guy was hilarious, yet explained everything beautifully
I cut my finger the same way with a chainsaw , big chunk missing , could not stitch , so they glued the finger up .......
Ouch!!! ya a chainsaw will do that right?! Thanks for watching Jones.

Please help. I have watched Lot's and lots of vids on epoxy river tables. I'm ready to try it. I need to know one last thing and its baffling me. What is the dye, pigment, coloring used in the epoxy? Is it food coloring?, RIT dye? Something else?
The color in epoxy is acrylic
White mixture is tinsel powder
Ethan Tillis, I think he's adorable and love his voice :)
Thanks for lookin out Coletta. Much appreciated :)
How come when I cut long slabs on my dewalt table saw it's always never straight but has curves and bends? Is the blade sucking or the guide sucking or am I sucking?
That is called a 'banana cut". Common using a normal table saw. If you have a sliding table saw, that would not be a problem.
I love it
Beautiful work man,,,
Super
Thanks for watching and the support Jose.
Height not heighth
I'm looking to epoxy up an L-Shaped desk and wondering what the best way to apply epoxy when you can't frame the piece you're working with? Whether it's just too big or oddly shaped.
Like you've ever been with a lady
Oooooo I have Scott. Or at least my wife says she's a lady.... LOL! Thanks for watching.
Great idea for your router guide. Simple and very effective. Great job the table looks awesome
I cld watch resin pour for hrs too. Great job!
Brother its amazingly awesome.
What type of plastic did you used?
Try Ecopoxy 2:1 epoxy next time, a side by side comparison video would be pretty cool.
That would be the liquid plastic and it's not a deep pour material I was surprised he was able to pout that deep and not get a crack
Good video expect for all the flames
8:15 looks like a river in Flint, MI.
I grew up in the Flint area, the Flint river has never looked that good....LOL
When you use linoleum on the bottom of the mold. so the board will peel off beautifully
what tool did you cut yourself with?
Title says table... Its a shelf. Did u put that coat on the bottom?
Thanks for catching that Jonathan. That is a little confusing. If your referring to the finish coat then yes, but only applied one coat.
Everything’s “super easy” in this video apparently 🙄
And for the record, a planer makes 2 sides of a board parallel. It doesn’t just “give wood a nice finish”. A jointer will flatten and square material if it’s set up and used correctly.
Its all easy with fast forward motion and video editing right haha! Thanks for the tip and for watching.
Just asking is it possible to use French oak for the board
Great work :D
Does the Rubio coat tint the epoxy part?
Inevitably is inevitably his favorite word...
