DIY Modern Table, but with Moss Living Inside

Adding another furniture build to the lineup! I have so much fun making these builds because of how many disciplines they combine. I was trying to find an end table for weeks until I decided to finally make this one and I think it was worth the effort. This one-of-a-kind moss table is truly unique and it looks incredible in my office. What do you think? Let me know in the comments and enjoy the video.

    Right? Not even sponsor messages which is even more amazing, considering how much work and money he puts into his videos, considering others just react to some irrelevant video, add nothing to it and have countless ads and sponsors. You can clearly see how much passion he has for this, especially when he mentioned how relaxing and enjoyable this was for him or when he went in and removed every tiny piece of debris from the moss. These videos are truly a pleasure to watch

    Tanner is definitely inspiring for sure. Unfortunately things do cost money but with the right tools and know how anything is possible and you most definitely can find almost everything recycled then just transform it into works of art. Almost all my diy builds are from recycled materials and rarely spend much of anything to put them together. But I do construction work and save a lot of scrap materials so that definitely helps. Maybe you can link up with someone who does construction and get bunch of free materials 🤷‍♂️ well I wish you the best and hope you can make some of your own builds soon 🙋‍♂️✌️

    @@kieramoore6501 I also do construction and id be willing to bet that if you can find a company doing residential remodels or something similar locally, that they would love to give away materials that are otherwise taking up dumpster space. The amount of materials I throw away drives me crazy but I can only save so much.. it's not every day, but there comes a few periods on almost every job where we throw away excess lumber, drywall, tile, good carpet, cabinets... Plastic, foam, bubble wrap... Pallets, windows, doors.. You name it. Find a wealthy area, with old houses doing lots of remodels. Look for a sign, or ask for the contractors info and ask if you can save any materials that might otherwise end up in the dump. We always set out scrap metal next to the dumpster so the scrappers dont have to go digging. You might score some brass or copper if you keep your eye out.

    I was pleasantly surprised to stumble on this video. This is something I used to do a few years ago, and had no idea anyone else tried this. Through a lot of trial and error, I eventually figured out a way to make large 2x3 and 3x4 vertical panels that hung on the wall like paintings. It was diastrous at times if the moss wasn't hydrated just right. A few times the entire moss wall let go and landed in a messy pile on the floor and furniture. A great anchoring solution was to spray foam insulation on a panel and, while it was still wet, place the moss onto the foam. The foam also helped with waterproofing. I finally rigged a hydration system with tiny irrigation hoses and found a way to anchor and hang the moss so it wouldn't collapse onto the floor. Every so often I'd mist the moss and a relaxing woodsy smell would emanate from panels for hours. For effect, I sometimes attached tiny lights to the top of the moss frames normally used to display paintings. I live in an area with high populations of the ticks that carry Lyme disease and was cautioned to consider this when handling moss. You've inspired me to get back into this.
