Absolutely love it. The craftsmanship and labour intensity you put into your builds is exactly why I really enjoy watching your videos. Your attention to detail mixed with the imperfections of the timber makes for a really good finished product.

Thanks again Watleback! Appreciate your comments. Learning to embrace the imperfections was a big kicker for me. Once I allowed that to engage in my brain, my building life became a lot less stressful ha ha. Hope the fires are all under control in your neck of the woods and I see there was some rain for the drought, good stuff. Take care!!

What can I say without being repetitive? Amazing job, incredible craftsmanship, beautiful cinematic etc etc? Things you already know. I'm just gonna say that your wife was right. That old pale yellow formica table looks like donkey crap compared to this piece of art. Yep, wives are always right ahah. I'm afraid that one day, many many years from now, you'll have to saw this masterpiece in 2 because your kids will fight to death in order to have it. Beautiful series as usual. The only thing I don't like about this whole thing is that we now have to wait another 5-6 months for the next elams project ahah. Master Miyagi would be proud Geoff san. Bravo

Ha ha thanks, yeah true true, time just not permitting projects. They are not generating too much much traffic anyways lol. I have an amazing piece of swamp totara that looks like mottled tiger pattern, I may just make that the next project, but probably into the new year by then. Thanks for the kind words mate, hope you sell your beautiful gat!!! It's a beast.

A lesson in patience and perspicacity, Nick Offerman could learn a thing or two. Can't wait till the next project. Stellar table.

When you drilled into the table, all I could think was the feeling I get when Bob Ross draws a massive tree trunk across a painting. "Ruined!" but then, just like Bob does each time, the next thought is "saved!" and what's left is a masterpiece. This is an heirloom piece of excellence you've made. Congratulations!

Hi Kraken! I have plans for chairs along the same lines as the table, nice curves and carbon reinforced joinery. Alas time prevents any progress at this stage as the work involved in six chairs is huge. One day ha ha, cheers!! Hope you are all good!

This is my second time watching through this. I'm sure I missed it, but why do you deal with shellac before epoxy?

@elams1894

4 жыл бұрын

I use shellac before epoxy because the epoxy bleeds into the wood way too much and I dislike that. Shellac seals the wood without hardly any bleed-through so it's perfect for that reason. I didn't rely on wood to wood contact for the joint, I left the joint strength to the carbon fibre so with this build I could get away with sealing the wood with shellac before applying epoxy. You can get away with using just epoxy if you are joining two pieces of wood, but in those instances I make sure I have a lot of thickness to sand away to remove much of the bleed through. Thanks for checking out the series, much appreciated!

This is just amazing. I just watched your strat and Les Paul guitar builds.. Wow.. Sorry if this has been asked a lot, but where did you get all your skills and methods from? Was it work related? Are/were you a luthier? Or is this a hobby of yours?

How much do you typically sell tables like this for, it looks like a 10k table...oh and how many hours did you put in on this? Incredible job!!

And in the background, one I can't quite see, a 75, and a 110 series (4.5"?). The man likes his Record vices almost as much as I do :-D

Ha ha, you know man, I'm OCD with my builds. Funnily enough, those corner joints with the carbon are rock solid, however the middle dark wood has tried to move all over the place and splitting at the join. Wood is crazy, it wants to move all the time. Cheers!!

@@elams1894 Yeah, that's not too surprising, really, it's a dissimilar wood, you'd basically have to stabilise all of the timber involved and seal them from the outside to get that to work well. Dad's first piece of furniture maybe before I was born had a mitre corner setup like that, all the same wood, but wood only expands/shrinks sideways, NOT longitudinally, so the whole middle shrunk and there are cracks in all four corners, biggest being a gap of maybe 8mm, but the middle 2/3 or 1/2 at least is still as he built it lamination wise, but narrower, and the ends are as he built them, but the middle retracted and left gaps :-D Lesson: never put long grain across the end of end grain, it'll never last unless ultra special care is taken. Same deal with the above :-)
