I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY NEW TABLE!!! THANK YOU XYLA!!!! 💖
what a beautiful piece...
she left one cpu inside whyyy
It's SHOCKINGLY amazing. Xyla, you did an amazing job. I completely agree with Estefannie. And it'll age so wonderfully - in 20 years, it'll be like looking at vacuum tubes!
@@R.Daneel well I have plenty of those
@@MrRulz-oc1pv maybe is 2 core
i think I have that same exact circular saw; we might be the same person. gorgeous table build that PCB green goes great with the wood and the shiney! glad you didn't think the knife was weird gift. shut up I'm not crying you're crying.
I think You personally made her feel apart of the maker community by giving her a perfectly made knife. At least that’s what I feel about it.
This was awesome to see her reaction
It's traditional where I am from to give someone a "silver" coin when they give you knife. Something about it making it a transaction rather than a gift, so if the recipient cuts themselves it's not then the fault of the giver.
Amazing what you can do with a bandsaw dude!
Judging from her reaction, not only did you hit a homerun, You hit it out of the park!
Just being able to say the words "I own a knife made by This Old Tony" is such a powerful statement. Only foreshadowed by, "I own the very FIRST knife made by This Old Tony."
The part at the end about getting "/the/ knife" hit home for me. Mine is an original Leatherman PST my Papa gave me after getting sick of me borrowing(read: stealing) it all the time, and it sort of officially became mine when he passed--in that he specified in his will that it would pass to me along with his swiss army knife.
I got a leatherman wave
When she opened that knife I literally teared up. TOT is amazing and I’m glad he brought me to your channel because you’re amazing!!!
You own “The” This Old Tony knife. There is no other like it. Honestly, I’m a bit jealous.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Instead of "There are many like it, but this one is mine," she can just say "There are none like it."
I’d cherish a ToT paper clip. Guys a legend
a bit‽ I'm VERY gealous! ;)
I love this tradition, I watched old Tony make this knife and teared up a little when you spoke about knife traditions and it being your knife, I remember getting my first knife and realized I have never given one to my daughter I’m going to fix that!. So glad to discover your channel. 😊
8:26 Carpenter here. Watching your "Elf smock" flapping around in close proximity to that circular saw gave me some serious anxiety! Having said that, the table turned out incredible! I'm a little jelly of the This old Tony knife too!
Darn it Ms. Foxlin, you had me tearing up when you explained that this knife from Master Maker This Old Tony was the first knife you had been gifted. And that bench top was awesome! Thank you for letting us in on the process.
Something feels so endearing about how the first knife This Old Tony ever crafted is the first knife Xyla has ever been gifted.
@17:05 It doesn't sound corny at all. It's an old tradition for boys but we really do need to expand it to everyone. Knife use, maintenance, and safety is for everyone. And you responded exactly as everyone should when they get their first knife @16:25, "I wanna cut something. What can I cut?" Love it.
I'm a son who was raised by his mom. receiving my first knife and carving lessons with my uncle were among my fondest childhood memories! I 100% understand her feeling
@@ReNeyer Me too, only mine came with a wet stone so I got a lesson on the importance of maintaining the knife too. Merry Christmas 🎄
I got my first knife from my great grandfather and I got his first knife when he passed away. It will be a family heirloom forever now.
If you go camping with your family in 22 degree weather, you've probably experienced the best parts of boyhood.
@@bradquinn2859 I kinda wouldn't disregard launching rockets either Lol
As a boy who remembers his first knife 30 years later I teared up a bit when you mentioned that girls need that too. Great job.
“You never have as many clamps as you think you have”. That was pure wisdom. 😀 Desk looks awesome!
unless ur Nick Zametti
"This salvaged cedar was used as a concrete form" *sheds a single tear for the planer knives*
They're rollers now.
rip.
ALL THE TEARS
I cringed when she said that. I could never subject my tools to that kind of abuse.
I mean what monster decided to use Cedar for a concrete corm. that monsters!
who still uses "planks" for concrete forms? these most likely would have been backing/bracing for plywood/OSB/MDF.
This old Tony sent me back here with his time machine to subscribe early so I don't end up missing out on all your videos like I did in the future, by the way your video celebrating 10 million subscribers was AMAZING.
@@MapedMod WE don't talk about that. Only in 2023, unless you wanna upset the balance of power.
You too?!? Yeah that 100,000,000 video blew my mind too.
Dont tell anyone about 2024 when Simply safe and Raid shadow legends take over youtube forcing Creators to sponsor them for a shout out. Tough times
Her content gets really amazing once the singularity happens. Who would have thought a robot sidekick could be so much fun?
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 Uhh... Craig Ferguson ?
It was beautiful to witness your rite of passage into makerhood, receiving your first knife from a master. You earned it long ago. Oh yes, the table was great too.
"And I am Jewish and Asian so I'm not sure" - yes, that is relatable. This is a beautiful build, thank you so much for sharing the journey with us
That is an insanely awesome project. Anyone would love this.
Not only a TOT knife but a one-off TOT knife!
Not only that but his first knife. That's very cool.
his first, the one and only knife he's made so far!
@@junkname9983 And totally capable of cutting 1-inch steel, too! Genuine Swedish-made Thisoldtonyum-Steel alloy.
@@Avetho "Thisoldtonium" _needs_ to be an alloy. Anyone out there from IBC or BIPM with a passion for two anonymous hands making awesome stuff outta metal wanna work a Christmas miracle?
Xyla, you didn't receive a knife made by This Old Tony, you received THE knife made by This Old Tony.
Not only did This Old Tony give you your first knife, he gave you his first knife also. That is quite an honour. I love the table. Coming from an IT background, that is a project that may inspire me to do something similar. I hope you had an awesome holiday!!
If there's one thing I learned from 4 years of high school woodshop class, it's that there is *NO SUCH THING* as too many clamps, even when there are three racks of them right next to you.
I primarily run small presses at my job and I can't tell you how many times I've not had enough clamps or the right clamps for the job.
This was GLORIOUS! How cool is that knife!
-Ruth & Shawn
I'm surprised nobody swarmed to reply to your comment... I guess this must be a channel for the older kids, although your channel is still for older kids, it's for younger kids as well! I loved seeing James running around the shop with your couch strapped to his back, like a big kid... can't wait to see what you'll come up with next!
This was my intro to your channel. I'm a big this old tony sub and I watched him make your knife and so, of course, I watched all of these maker videos and I must say, your video made my day out of all of the others. Your personality and charm made me very happy. I'm sitting at work and bored to death due to everyone else being gone and honestly, this video made my day. I watched the others but sadly, they just didn't make me happy except Tony's and yours. I'm totes subbing! Have a great holiday!
That boyhood knife story hit home with me. My daughters are 12 and 10 now. It's been just a couple years ago when I gave them their first knife. It's a proud moment.
Xlya, I rarely get seriously jealous of other people’s stuff, but you have the very definition of uniqueness in your hands: a ‘first knife’ of your own as a ‘first knife’ made by TOT… the world is a better place now that I know that. Gorgeous table, too: no wonder Boatle Tote sponsors you! Keep being amazing, please!!
Nice video as always (I really enjoyed how much you talked about fixing the issues, it's something that lots of people gloss over or don't explain!)
All the creator cross-overs were SO cool too. When Lindsay was on screen, I explained to my daughter "I met her at maker camp, she's a big ball of sunshine and happiness." Also - the TOT Knife, wow! That's super amazing.
That circuitry desk looks awesome! (But I don't even want to think about the shipping costs for it!)
What an amazing Secret Santa build
Pretty sure she blew the entire budget on shipping since the wood was salvage, the PCBs were dumpster dives and the epoxy is sponsor provided.
@@whiskeyandsarcasm It is a bit weird, but shipping does not count in the US. Like when they said I got a super deal for a 12$ PC they got it from the other side of the us with 150$ shipping.
@@whiskeyandsarcasm Even shipping something that large/heavy 30 miles is going to blow a $70 budget.
Dang that's a beautiful table top, you really weren't kidding with that cedar. Pretty darn cool TOT was your Secret Santa. I don't think your reflections on it were corny at all and I'm glad he was the one to give you your first knife ☺️
Here's to the boyhood knife everyone should have the opportunity to get, no matter their past, present, or future boyhoodness. Mine was my high school grad gift and I almost always keep it on hand.
Outstanding work Xyla - with the added fun of playing "spot the Boatal Tote" :)
Xyla, I have grown to deeply love your channel for so many reasons. Besides all the cool Sciency stuff and awesome Epoxy puns you have a really good message not only to your viewers but to young girls that never thought that some of the stuff that you do was an option for them. I am a father of four daughters and I’ve often time preach to them that they have all the rights, ability ,and skill to do whatever they want in the world but sadly I’m just their dad but when they watch your channel and see all the fun cool things that you do they are given energy and a spark that I’ve never seen before. So I want to say thank you because I’m a dad for future scientist/inventors/makers/doctors/lawyers over whatever else my girl will end up being in this world and it is people like you that spawned that inspiration.
I am so glad that you got to experience the joy of receiving your first knife. My Papa (Cajun for grandfather) gave me a Buck Stockman way back when I was 11 and starting in the scouts. While I have bought many knives over the years, I still have that old Buck and it has a special place in my heart. Just this year I got my god son a knife for his birthday. After watching the joy on your face, I am going to have to get one for my god daughter as well.
UA-cam dad, man of many dad jokes™, gifted you a knife. While it might not be the crazy gift many others got, I understand the feeling of joy of getting your first pocket knife from someone you respect.
It looks amazing!
This is the absolute best. That table is the best object ever made. I'm so glad you got to have This Old Tony as YOUR Secret Santa.
Your struggles for flatness notwithstanding, that table is a stunning work of art.
I'm absolutely tickled how much it means to you that you've finally been gifted a fine knife. That moment, getting "the knife" was one of the few parts of boyhood i actually really valued
I loved watching this! Now to go watch Estefannie open it... Happy holidays Xyla! 💖
I feel the exact same way about “the knife” my daughters have one just as sharp as my sons. It’s a super important right of passage.
I've been a This Old Tony subscriber for almost as long as he's been around, and came here to check you out after his build video. You did a great job on that table, and anyone would be proud to have it! Great work!
(I also appreciate you showing that pouring epoxy isn't as easy as some people make it look. It's something I haven't tackled yet, but I'm interested in trying.)
That thank you was so wholesome. Sharing such a great feeling is a wonderful Christmas gift. Thank you for all the fantastic content Xyla!
I am a fan of Tony and now a fan of Xyla. The maker secret santa is such a great idea. The table you made was amazing, I bet it wasn't anywhere near as easy as you made it look! :D
All of the creators did an awesome job with the Secret Santa builds loved everyone of them. Thanks to the tested team for getting me started on this playlist and some new channels to add to my watch list.
"...I have to, first, get festive..."
You're already more festive than most holidays, but that makes your videos so dang delightful!
wow that looks SO FANTASTIC Xyla, Estefannie really lucked out here, this thing is a treasure for life. beautiful work and happy Christmas to all of you!
That's a beautiful table! My wife's an engineer, so maybe that will be a project for the Spring for me...
I was thinking the same... actually my wife is in IT... maybe I could tackle something along those lines... you know, start out small, maybe coasters...
@@monkeybarmonkeyman Coasters sound more my speed too, tbh.
The knife gift is a spiritual gift, it came from the maker's mind, body, and spirit. That knife never existed before - it came from the maker's mind, blessed by his spirt, and produced with his intellect and body - just like the gift you made. What goes around comes around. What great gifts. Thank you.
That is a beautiful table and im glad you got your boyhood wish of The Knife, I know the feeling. That table though, if someone made that for me, I would be crying many tears of joy. Its a beautiful piece
Boataltote 9:16 pretty sure it’s total boat 😂. Amazing work looks great and glad it ended up ok even with the weird maths and epoxy.
Hey Xyla! Great video! Just a heads-up, but it looks like you might be routing in the wrong direction. You always want to rout in a counter-clockwise direction if looking at the piece from above, which will mean that you are pushing the router in such a way that the spinning bit will be cutting into the material. If you rout in a clockwise direction (as seen from above) the router bit will act as a sort of 'wheel' and will want to pull the router along and often-times results in less-than-ideal results. Great table by the way!
Jason, I was just about to post the same thing. Xyla is a great builder and I always love the enthusiasm she puts into what ever she does.
I'm pretty sure she was climb cutting on purpose. Conventional cutting with epoxy might chip it, with climb cutting the cutter compresses the epoxy as it enters and the cut depth goes to zero at exit to avoid chipout. Yes, you have to be more careful to control the router, but this ain't her first rodeo. 🙂
@@jmkasunich Ah, good point. I never thought of that. I've routed epoxy inlays with conventional routing, but I suppose that climb cutting might make it less prone to chipping. Good call!
Wow. Really good. One of the best gifts so far. I'm glad you appreciate the knife from This old Tony, I think he would have appreciated the table you made. Hope you guys co-operate on something in the future.
Beautiful table!
If you (or anybody else reading this) ever needs to remove tape residue, try wiping it off with eucalyptus oil on a rag. It works an *absolute treat!*
Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺 😎
That turned out beautifully. I literally sighed in relief when that last edge tape came off. I've picked tape out of cured epoxy before.
I love this. Circuit boards + art & furniture is right up my alley.
You are so real. From the work boots with any outfit to the deep thoughts of recieving your first pocket knife. The table is stellar.
Wow. At first I thought "A knife? that's it Tony? Come on!" but then... your reaction. I'm happy you got your "given a knife moment". This was beautiful.
I learned a lot about working with epoxy from watching this! The result was even better than expected! It makes me want to do a desk like this with the LEDs on the PCBs functioning.
For sticky tape residue i've had great results with WD40 or lighter fluid. They both work great!
Xyla - your knife monologue made my heart sing and my eyes water. Your desk build fueled untold amounts of inspiration within. Your general awesomeness continues to motivate locomotion. I hope you get some down time over this holiday break (#jewishasian hence the hustle ensues) and I hope the rain we’re getting isn’t hindering your endeavors!! As always, thank you for making. Thank you for sharing.
I got my first knife around 11 or 12 yrs old. My uncle gave it to me with my father's blessing as we were in his office and I was admiring it on his desk. (a simple folding pocket knife). Congratulations on your first knife.
As a boy who grew up in somewhat traditional America not long ago... My first knife was a terrible multitool from my grandma. I didn't think much of it at the time. Later, she gave me a nice leatherman. Something I still have today. I didn't wear it for many years, but now I wear it almost every day as a tractor mechanic. It's the single handiest tool I own, and I can't tell you how many times it's saved my butt.
what a beautiful piece...great vid... and sponge-brushes cannot be overstated in relation to their utility...
Loved that intro. So much enthusiasm! Makes me want to go do stuff. After your video of course. 😁
Glad TOT brought me here. Your builds, your enthusiasm, and vibrant personality are awesome. Ive used a few of the boatal tote products and nothing came out backwards. 🙂
I got a little dust in my eye when you were talking about how this is the first knife you were given. It looks like This Old Tony created the perfect gift for you.
Welcome to boyhood, Xyla. Now that you have your knife, you may participate in all boyhood activities without restriction. I mean, you already could, but now you can do it with a KNIFE!
Looks really awesome, wish you cleaned the heat paste off the cpu's to get to see their model numbers and stuff still through the table.
that table is PRETTY FREEKING COOL, I especially like that you put an arudino board in there too super cool mike
Great table. Awww. I loved the moving (adorable) "this is my knife" bit. Well done, Tony - an inspired gift!
I absolutely love your videos, always something interesting and your energy is wonderful! Also, I caught "Botal Toat" at 9:14 :)
The table is beautiful! Amazing job! Been watching the “loop” of secret Santa gifts and this is my favorite.
You have earned “the knife”!
In the Netherlands (and I'm sure other places as well) there's a tradition that you can't give knives as gifts, because they cut the friendship. So whenever you want to give someone a knife, you instead offer them a small amount of currency, could be a nickle or a dime, and then offer them the knife for sale at that exact amount. I'm not sure where this tradition comes from and lots of people even here don't know about it, but I think it's rather fun and observe it whenever I gives knives away.
That said, that's a pretty cool looking knife you got there Xyla!
Tears were shed for TOT knife opening. You all are amazing. Happy holidays
I saw the arduino, but were there any broken AVA flight computers from BPS in there?
One of the silver linings of being raised the wrong gender was getting "the" knife. Everyone should get one!
Ms.Xyla, this was a wonderful video to watch! Your patience and tenacity serve you well. The table was awesome! I love your channel. Long may you construct!!!!!
This video made me smile and gave me true Christmas vibes. The desk you built is an amazing gift. And a knife from ToT? Just a cherry on top.
I watched Tony’s video first. Welcome to the knife for life club! Mine is a Swiss Army knife given to me by my brother at his wedding. Three months after having I live in my pocket constantly it found it’s true purpose. A young man had an extremely bad day compounded by finding out that his favorite grandparent just passed on. I had just happened to be at the right place, at the right time, with the right tool, in pocket. I was jacked up on adrenaline and some how held him up against the wall with one arm whiles fishing around in my pocket for my new knife and cutting him down. That night I called my brother and fell apart for the first time that day letting him know what his knife let me do for a young man in need. 37 years later, scuffed and with a small chip out of the corner of the red plastic near the cross, I still have that knife.
Alan
(P.s. I lied... the first video I watched was your rocket tree)
Happy Holidays, I wish you the very best, and thanks for sharing.
What the fuck did I just read with my eyeballs
Are you saying you killed a man with it?!
@@Venuscat007 No he was hanging himself
@@MrArcher0 thanks for clarifying it, and I'm sorry to have so horribly misunderstood your previous comment
What you did is amazing and I'm glad you were there and had the knife with you ♥️
I need to do this with all the boards I’ve designed over the years.
Thats a beautiful tabletop. And also so fun to se you getting your first knife. I'll always remember that first knife my dad gave me and how proud I was. Cheers!
i love that you used a workmate for the sanding lol. a workmate is one of the first real tools my gramps ever gave me, and i still use it fairly often
See? Epoxy Queen for sure. I saw an Arduino Uno! Make a fence when using circular saw. Buy a good blade. Looks cool, but a lot of work and too toxic.
You're seriously just gonna take a $70 cap and make something that looks like it would be $500 dollars? Ok, I see how it is. (Well done!)
I reckon the epoxy alone was worth near 500$. We're looking at a 2000$ designer table all things considered.
Agreed that the epoxy alone is already worth couple hundred haha
Can I just say thankyou so much for showing yourself using gloves and a respirator when dealing with resin and epoxy even when sanding it. I see so many creators not taking the basic safety measures so this is very inspiring!
O wow all the opportunities for bubbles and yet it overall looks so so good. Definitely embodies the rare quality of the artist putting patience into the process.
It took me a while to notice there were still coin batteries in some of those boards... Is the exothermic reaction of the resin and using the heatgun really not hot enough to cause issues? Overall though, it's a great aesthetic!
I like this video because it would be the tools I would use. I have seen other videos on crating tables but, those guys have resources, tools and space that I would never have. Thank you for your content!!!
New Sub here (Tony sent me, insert secret "This Old Tony" hand shake). Amazing table top build, that was incredible, what a nice finish. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! All the way from Prince George, B.C. Canada.. Cheers!
LOL!!! 9:27 - " Boatal Totes"!!!! seems to be a growing theme... Awesome job Xyla!!!
I did have a boyhood and I remember two knives which were given to me that made a lasting impression. I am so incredibly happy for you that you finally have yours Xyla.
Getting my first knife as a boy was a wonderful experience and it's amazing to see you get that same experience with a beautiful handmade knife!
This is the best resin table build I've seen. Way to knock it out of the park.
That table is incredibly gorgeous!!! You should be extremely proud of how it turned out!
Such a cool idea and so cool to get your first knife from a legend :)
Xyla & others...quick tip for getting tape glue off: rub with thick hand lotion & wipe off. Also works for tree resin on your hands. Cheers.
As a maker you know that he gave you much more than a knife. He gave you a piece of himself. Great gift and an awesome table!
You own. The ONLY. Knife.... made by This Old Tony. Congrats. Yall did great jobs.
"I never had a boyhood." I agree with the Flash Girls song, "A Girl Needs a Knife" so all of mine were given one.* They're just so useful.
* Some came from my dad, who's from Appalachia where they have a folk superstition about not giving knives or scissors as presents. So they actually were gifted a dollar or quarter they could use to "buy" their knife from him. :-D
That was an AWESOME table. Usually my builds are functional but lacking in that "pleasing to the eye" section. So glad TOT drew your name because now I have a new maker I'm subscribed to, keep up the amazing builds!
3rd time watching this now over the year and probably the 10th time re watching the knife moment. Seeing how special and meaningful it was to ye to get given ye first knife hits my soul every time. As a girl myself I know the feeling, hopefully one day I get one gifted to me as well.
Every single time I see you my face lights up because your so happy and bubbly. GBU young lady.
That is a beautiful table. I just watched TOT and saw his knife build and then watched your video right after his. Very cool. I enjoy watching you both.
Just found your channel. Got here via This Old Tony. Think I'll make this a regular destination..... Lots of interesting projects.
I was surprised to find out you are from Cleveland and went to Case. I am also from Cleveland, went to CSU for a BChE then Purdue for my MS in Chem Eng. I am retired after nearly 40 years in the chemical industry. I like your energy and enthusiasm. I am really glad to see more young women in engineering. Your channel will help pave the way for lots more Women in engineering. Keep up the good work.
