      if you would like an old secret about cracks.....use a vacuum cleaner and tape on the bottom side.
      the vacuum will suck the resin/glue/water/stain deeper into the wood....
      the tape is to direct the vacuum....
      tape the backside around the vacuum hose opening and as if youre sealing the hose but add extra so it doesnt suck air from "around the corner" or 2" away....
      think 6"x6" of tape with a 2" vacuum hose in the middle...youll suck air through the wood...
      now tape around the crack so air will go through the crack but not the tape......
      and fill the crack with epoxy/glue or whatever like normal
      the vacuum works in all directions so itll work 90 degrees off / around the corner too...just use tape ror whatever to direct the flow of air...its kinda like ducts in a computer...except not free flowing...
      but...it does work and work well....
      i use it for epoxy embedding anchors and strengthening the wood around the anchors...
      thin liquids move a lot further through the wood and can be directed a bit....
      took a lot of playing to make it a science
      but only a little fiddling will show it should work well for you.....
      best part it only takes a couple seconds to set up...some woods that epoxy will move fast and far as the wood acts more like a sponge than youd ever believe (vacuum is a strange powerful thing)

    • @kazzxtrismus
      @kazzxtrismus Рік тому +7

      possible problems:...it can work too good.....
      usually you can turn the vac on for just a few seconds to get epoxy to the bottom of a crack.
      a few seconds more to make sure it gets inside the wood a bit....
      a few seconds more and its fully impregnated the wood all the way through effecting color
      a few seconds more and the wood is now and forever a hardened fiberglass sponge (my goal).
      hard dense woods are still sponges...and very spongy/absorbent.....
      a 7hp vacuum table will suck hard enough to hold 12" of mdf down like its clamped.....
      7hp is enough/needed to hold all 4ft x 8ft x24 sheets of 1/2"......
      a shop vac is tons for a crack or plug...sometimes too much if my adhd kicks in

But my favorite part of watching you, is your integrity with your customers. I can see why they’re so happy with what you do. Not only are you skilled and do an amazingly beautiful work, but how you do it, the skill you put into it, and how you think of them first, I really find admirable. I have subscribed to your station, obviously. And look forward to watching more of what you accomplish.

      That part where Scott said to redo the peg was staged. You could tell because he purposely made that peg smaller so he could drill it out. I’m thinking a-lot of the back and forth with Scott is staged for comedic effect.

    I am late to the party, but I just want to say that redoing that last plug was so worth it. The previous one was way too tan. The new plug was perfect; same hue, same little tiny dots that followed the grain. It really is true; nobody really likes redoing things, but sometimes a redo, even a small one, can make all the difference. Also, really liking the Scott cameos.

      I'm in metalworking and I apply the same rule to my work. Every time you know better about something but ignore it, you're gambling on shortcuts and your own expectations don't have authority. As the professional, you should look closer than the customer, that how you make sure he never spots something inadequate, or worse, thinking it's not great enough but just silently looking for somebody else to work with.

What in the heck is this going to cost to ship at that weight!? It could be more than the cost of the tables.

    18:14 Here's a tip for these tough decisions: Cut the opposite end first, leaving as much material on as possible, so you can see in advance if going to the absolute limit on the end you want to trim off would be acceptable. If not, walk it inward, always trimming a bit off the least acceptable end each time. You don't want to cut deep on one end just to find out that the opposite end is problematic afterward. Stop walking it once you are happy with both ends or you've hit the limit of what you can remove, because now you've found the ideal balance.
