Epoxy Coffee Table with Walnut Slabs and LEDs

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This is an epoxy coffee table with live edge walnut slabs, blue epoxy resin, a steel base, and multicolor LEDs! It was a lot of fun and I love the result, especially how the LEDs shine through the epoxy and silhouette the walnut slabs if the lights are dim.

    I used to build the plugs and molds used in the construction of fiberglass boats. A few suggestions for you are to apply the wax directly to the melamine. It should release quite well. Also, there is a product called wax fillet strips that comes in varied radius sizes and is applied using a heated wax fillet tool. The finished product is nearly perfect and it doesn't require any drying time. It can be applied prior to waxing and then the paste wax is applied over it. Nice job on the table. I admire your attention to detail.

    The problem with people doing pours now days is they think its all about having the pretty resin in there and the wood is just a side dish. You need to make the wood look natural like it grew into the resin. All these square cuts just shows that you threw the wood in and made the piece all about the resin. Appreciate the effort put into the vid mate cheers.

    I think a problem with society today is an acceptance for stating personal valuations as objective facts. Your opinion on how it should be done is just as valid as my thoughts on trying to keep the wood as close to how it came to me as possible. It’s part of the story of how those pieces went from a tree into the table. Walnut has strong contrast between the heart wood and sapwood. To me shaping a cut of heartwood to look like live edge screams unnatural. It may be a less popular view, but regardless that’s my taste and style.

I have a stationary built-in bar top that is 5' X 13'. It is stained wood that was very nice 13 years ago when my 12 year old son helped me make it, but has seen some major wear and tear since then, of course I could just sand and stain...boring... I think I can use some of your ideas to renew it. I just love the resin, but I was wondering about a pour that didn't flip??? Being built in; I would basically have to pour it where it sits.

    Nope. I take a stiff brush and then light mallet to the bark sometimes. Anything that comes loose is gone. If it stays, it’s good. A good technique is to put penetrating epoxy in any bark you wanna keep. Also depends on the base. This one is supported all the way around so there isn’t much stress on that joint. If it was going on say hair pin legs.. I’d have done something different. Another technique is to put lag bolts or dowels through the bark into the wood for the epoxy to grab onto. If the epoxy isn’t clear.

    Very nice work! My question is concerning the LED's, & their placement. Is there a reason why you didn't place the LED's under the edges of the pieces of wood to give the blue epoxy more light, or shine through? It just seemed like certain areas on the table were darker than others. Just curious if there was a specific reason doing it that way. Thanks! Keep up the great work!👍

  • @YouCanMakeThisToo

    @YouCanMakeThisToo

    4 жыл бұрын

    I don't think there is a finish that totally prevents moisture exchange. Totally encapsulating in resin is probably the closest thing... But short of that the trick is just finish all sides equally so moisture exchange is the same all the way around the piece.

    I use General Finishes... 2-3 coats of Sanding Sealer, sanding between coats, and then 2-3 coats of the 2 part Conversion Varnish and Catalyst, also sanding between coats. It will not leave any rings from drinks or show any kind of liquid spills... it will just bead up and you can wipe it off. It is suggested for spray application but I use a foam roller and make sure there are no lines from the roller, works great.

    A little trick I’ve used for years is Vaseline, you can used plan wood for your mold, just grease it good with the Vaseline and your epoxy will never stick to it, you can also use this on the back of projects that you are going to pour without a mold to easily remove drips, they will practically pop off, then just sand and smooth a little and you are good to go
