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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
@@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.

Hey! Love your videos :) Going to make my own desk so i'm binging on your content!! Thank you for your details and great editing! Well done!! I know how much time making these great videos could take!
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.
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

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 ..
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.
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!

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?
Beautiful project sir, love that pearl finish!! Question about your finishing: you sanded the epoxy to 400, so did you sand that first and then sand the wood to 180 (I know Rubio only suggests 150) or did you sand the whole thing at 400 and then go back to the wood with 180? And did you sand at 400 by hand or orbital? Annndddd did you polish the Rubio after or just leave it as is?
Good questions. I sanded the entire thing with 180 and then used 400 on the top only. Wood and epoxy with an orbital sander. I did not polish the top, just what i showed in the video. Looks and feels great to this day! Thanks for watching.
Man...that looks amazing ! Great job !

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.

Or should I just keep the epoxy in bucket unless it is a little less viscous
beautiful outcome!

If it twisted u can use flat mdf as base then anchor your wood on the top
Use Stonecoat Countertops supercast next time bro. Great job and video!

What type of plastic did you used?
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.

Love n respect
Thanks for all the love and support Shaima.
what tool did you cut yourself with?
I loved it, thanks. Very informative.
you know after routering the first side, you could have just used your planer since it's not referencing off of a flat side.
Just asking is it possible to use French oak for the board
at about 15:20 it took me a coupla rewinds to realise that was a dog and not someones hairy as hell hand lol
