Well….. Nevermind

Mix your pigment with your epoxy catalyst before you mix the resin and catalyst together. The Catalyst is of thinner viscosity and give you a streak free color mix as will as give you a visual so you know that your catalyst and resin are fully mixed.

Thanks for the tip. Don’t know how much I’ll use epoxy but wanted to let you know that your comment was appreciated by someone.

Pro tip: Hot melt glue releases with denatured alcohol. No putty knife necessary. Pro tip #2: When routing an edge profile on a table top, cut the end grain first. Any tearout from the cross grain cut will be removed when routing the profile on the long-grain edges.

No, it's still not here. This is just a blank video all the way through. Are you seeing visions?

Domino tip - it appears youre using the tight setting all the time. For a project like this... as id suggest do one board all tight setting and on the mating board one do one domino MAYBE two on the tight setting and the rest on the loose setting. Makes closing the gap SUPER easy. Youre using dominos for vertical alignment so slop horizontally is no issue. Hope that helps and speeds someone up.

Man it was so nice to see a video that wasn’t a clickbait title. I had changed my subscription to only subscribing instead of ringing the bell to get notifications, but I am gonna give you the benefit of the doubt that you’re going to stay away from the clickbait nonsense. Lol. Also, you also only need to water pop before the final grit sanding. Multiple times water popping is multiple times of wasting your time. Just do it before final sand then hand sand, mainly with the grain

It's unsettling how often you use the words "perfect" or "perfectly." In some cases, "adequately" is more accurate.

But “adequately” feels like accepting a compromise while “perfectly” feels more satisfying and dopaminergic.

Woodworking for over 35 years and an oil finish and stains on rags do catch fire in the right conditions. We simply put them in a bucket of water. Nice project,cheers

You only need to raise the grain by water popping after your final grit. Also, after the water pop, I recommend you sand by hand in the grain direction LIGHTLY. Only sand enough to get back to a smooth surface. If you sand too deep, you will go through the raised grain and have to water pop the grain again. This step doesn't take too much sanding, usually a few passes by hand with a sanding block and 180 or 220 grit (whatever your final grit is) is plenty to knock back the grain. Further, this water popping and raising the grain is ONLY NECESSARY WITH A WATER BORNE FINISH. If you are using an oil/hard wax finish, or other oil based finish, raising the grain (water pop) is NOT needed.

"Perfectly" Imperfect

My Delta radial arm saw goes thru those boards like "Buda"

Claw hammer and a rubber mallet. Framer and cabinet maker. I use the rubber mallet in cabinet and furniture making to persuade a tight joint to close up completely.

I follow a ton of different work working channels. All have their strengths and weaknesses. I'm a new subscriber but I appreciate how thorough you are showing every step. At first I was like "a 45 minute video?"...and here I am 35 minutes in and learning new things.

When someone "over-explains" steps, and you think; "yeah, yeah, we get it, move on, move on", remember that when you later try to do the things yourself! Please record (with audio!) your first attempts to copy the SO EASY tasks, and let's hear the apology!! It's not embarrassing to be wrong or make mistakes, it's all about what you do afterward; and if you are "man enough" to admit it, correct your wrongdoings, and apologize!

Thank you for reassuring those of us who are Not perfect that we too can make furniture that is awesome by learning and by practice can be proud of our efforts! One question: how are you able to use the circular saw slowly and not get a burn mark on such a hard wood? Sharp blade and all. Nice job

If you know anyone with a resin printer, you can print a cap out of clear really easily to cover the other side of the router. You just need the OD and ID for the base and the height and width of the hole.

Butter. I love your cat... I mean your "date". That was funny. Oh, and the nightstand was nice too. 😊

Protip: get a 6" sander. It has 43% more surface area which translates to 43% faster sanding.

I once painted my finish on the under side of my table top, and not the other side, and left it for 2 days. The top bowed upwards towards the unfinished side due to the absorption of moisture. It would be a good idea to keep the other side closed to prevent moisture absorption or finish both sides one after the other to prevent it.

Just a note: a 3/4" melamine "carrier sled" is not necessarily a "jointing sled" as it can distort in reaction to pressure from feed rollers under plank especially on short bed portable planer. A jointing sled should be a torsion box that is rigid along length/ width. I have a '' fancy" one that I made which has integral screw shims( Italian piston cabinet levelers) activated from side in conjunction with high friction support cross bars at a number of locations. If you ever use a wide belt sander one can use it to flatten large slabs with extremely robust torsion box sled.

One thing you may want to look into using isopropanol alcohol to make the hotmelt come right off, no need for heavy scraping needed!

Timber must be cheap, where you are. I certainly would not be allowing lumps of decent wood to fall to the floor like that!

You're brave finishing one side of the table and not the other, then leaving it. It can easily cause bowing.

@@ig1988ig1988 if you put finish on one side it can bow overnight. You need to seal both sides. Wood can always bow long term, this is just a short term risk.

Pro Tip #3: get some panel clamps, like from Rockler. They not only clamp the joints together but also the face is cull clamped with just one setup.

I will have to personally disagree with wearing Crocs (or any soft shoe) in the workshop. I recently fractured a toe due to dropping a sheet of plywood on my toe when it slipped off the table where I was going to cut it down into the needed sizes for a project. As soon as I can wear normal shoes, I plan to invest in a comfortable pair of steel toed footwear. On the bright side, I'm thankful I didn't injure myself while using a spinning saw. Edit: Love the video too. I appreciate you making videos of making your projects, not just being a sponsored tool reviewer.

Regarding your curiosity aired on the podcast - 9 sets of ads. Survived! Nice vid Eric, and nice table. Glad it finally saw the light of day!

Fabulous video and craftsmanship. In the video, you mentioned drawing/plan for the angle glue up clamping jig. I looked and looked and could not find it. Where can I find the plan for that jug?

Can we have a drinking game....every time you say 'super' you have to take a shot

I definitely do large glue ups all at once. I dont have a wall of Bessey clamps, so i build a frame out of 2x and wedge them together 😂

12:06 Perhaps try scoring the exit side of the crosscut in order to cut the fibers to prevent the tearout? (maybe?) And/or put backing material on before cutting? I'm thowing hail Marys here... 😄

Hi Eric, I needed 3 days to watch your video, because I have little time. But it was worth every second. incredible job. It's a pleasure to watch your work. Congratulations

You have a track saw, use that for the tapered legs, no way you can do it any faster, you may be able to do 2 at a time.

Awesome job and design. Well presented.

That is a great looking table. Walnut never fails to deliver and your design is makes great use of the wood. I am in the middle of a large, 8/4 walnut desk project. No dominos, but I did use dowels and had great success with them. I am curious if you considered adding c channel to prevent warping or cupping.

Turned out beautiful great work

Bosch provides a clear plastic dust shield for that router.

having a festool inmersion circular saw and a domino joiner instead of having a good quality jointer aint the smartest decision ever ....

Very nice table! Great video

The trick with the domino jointer for the stretcher pieces to the legs was genius. I go a doweling jointer and will definitely have to remember that

Boy, even the smallest glue-ups (a strip of 4” wide coasters, for instance) are SO hard to line up straight and flat! I can’t even imagine such a huge tabletop glue-up. Thanks for the thorough description, Eric.

"I don't understand why people think this is difficult." Proceeds to make a 45 minute video of how to do it... LOL. Great video, sir. I watched it all the way through.

I use and ad blocker. Google now wants me to pay $13 a month to avoid the ads. I *HATE* ads. So... If I pay for premium do you receive a kickback? I am willing to pay the fee as long as you see something from it. If not I am off to Rumble to see what is there.

You have your sled backwards. The edge board should be in the front of the sled. If in doubt try this. Put a sheet of wax paper between the board and the sled. Run through planer and you will see the board move from the sled, pushing towards the front. The rollers are what keeps the board from moving while the blades cut but the rollers are pushing forward. I didn't believe it until I tried the wax paper trick.

This is a good video. Clever ideas to work smart.

As for the oily rags, I keep a 5 gallon bucket half full of water to put them in.

I absolutely love your videos. I’d watch an hour long video just about sanding if you posted. You have many great tips I appreciate. I hate your video titles. I skip most of your videos due to the title. I love the tip with the maroon sanding pad. I hope your titles make money for you.

Love the video. Do you have a link for the scotchbrite pads you used? For some reason I’m having a hard time finding them

How were you able to finish the underside only and not have the table top warp?

Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing. I like the melamine board trick. I own the DeWalt 735. I don't want to spend the money on a jointer and will likely also use the melamine board as a planer sled. Any suggestions on what makes a good size melamine board to use? I've heard of folk using a melamine board (with a perpendicular block on the back end) on the DeWalt 735 to be able to plane to 1/8' thickness. I've found anything thinner than 1/4" (if not 3/8") is highly prone to the board breaking apart.

It has always cracked me up how much seemingly perverse pleasure in not having a jointer, yet you have a domino and festool track saw :) Not sure it’s your smartest money, given how often you seem to lament not having a jointer. FWIW, I have the 8” Wen with like a 38” table and it rocks, even for longer stuff. Food for thought. :) Enjoy the vids; don’t take this as criticism.’

Nice! I like your video's. Keep going!

Great video thanks. I have the top of my similarly-sized table nearly built (in Queensland Walnut - I am in Australia), and I had been wondering how to do better than just some bolt-on steel legs. Question: How strong are the legs please? They seem a tad slim. How will they stand up to vertical load but more-particularly to sideways load if dragged across the floor? Many thanks! Love your channel! Bought the plans!

Great work 👏🏼

This table looks like a combo of The Wood Whispers Mid-Century Modern Table & his latest Criss-Cross Table. Definitely see the inspiration from both

As always Eric, awesome video and I respect how you show different options to make cuts and join pieces. However only negative point, burn that Blue Jackets shirt. Haha. Well done brother.

Beautiful table. Where do you get your wood?

Question: Were your figure eight attachments set up to accommodate width movement over length movement? It looks to me they should have been on the side rails to protect from lengthwise (with the grain) expansion over width wise (against the grain) expansion. Please explain the rationale. Thanks!

Hi, I just found your videos. I have a question about your table saw. Did you purchase the router table separately or make it with the outfeed table? PS- MDF IS CARCINOGENIC IF YOU INHALED THE DUST! BESIDES MAKING IT FILL YOU LUNGS

Not seeing the Vesting listed in the description And your link to it on your site goes to a different product (chimiver led oil)

Safety Note: If you are concerned about your track moving while sawing, I would recommend using the track saw clamps to hold it down vs your right hand. If the saw kicks back, your hand is in the line of fire.

Dude EPIC table build! Also like the rhinegeist shirt 😀 🍺

We use metric in Canada which is also in North America.. lol

Reversing the drill on wood or steel will also centre the drill more accurately.
