I’ve been doing Stainglass for 20 years and have enjoyed it. I was introduced to your work just a few days ago. I’ve been watching all that you have been producing but I’m still having some issues with all my work and my tools and have been for Stainglass. Just went out and bought a handsaw, a router, and router table. This is almost the amount of tools that I have. I have very little money and trying to find out what I could use that would do the job but be less of a chore due to the price. I retired and will have more time to do such things. I’ve been in the ministry for 50 years and would love to give items to friends that I have met in those years.

Gentlemen, thank you so much for making this video. I've made several other smaller epoxy pour over projects using the suggested amount from the manufacturer and it was always way too much. Besides the waste and the cost that goes with it, it would cause sags on the edges because it would continue to self-level for hours all the time running over the edge. I tried several things to address it and the manufacturer was no help. It just seemed like there was just too much epoxy. I tried your 3oz. per Sqft. calculation, and it worked "PERFECTLY"! The manufacturers recommended amount came out to 10oz per square foot??? I can tell you that about 1/3 would end up on the floor. It wouldn't be that bad if the edges were perfect, but they aren't. The square notch trowel is a stroke of genius as well! Thank you and all the best! Chuck

I enjoyed watching this! You should research C channels with slotted holes . Epoxying metal bars into the bottom of the table is sure to lead to expansion and contraction issues later on. Also, using a regular Festool sander, I have no issues getting the router lines out. May be a bit safer that way. Good luck!

@northernridgedesigns

Hello! Why do metal bars lead to expansion issues? I got the idea from Stone Coat Countertops who has made these professionally for some time now...so I’m curious. What grit did you use with your festool sander? I have used one but, perhaps did not have a low enough grit because I could still see some router lines lightly show after epoxying on other projects. Thanks!

Hi guys...absolutely stunning table, beautifully made. Congratulations from across the 'pond'. I noted that you placed metal bars under the table to counter any warping or movement that may occur, and others have commented that the way you did this was incorrect. This leaves me a little confused. My understanding of why movement occurs in wood is because of changes in the wood's moisture content brought on by fluctuations in relative humidity. As the wood in your table has been encapsulated with resin, I cannot see how any changes in humidity could affect the timber as the pores in the wood have been effectively sealed with impermeable resin and can no longer take on (or release) any moisture. Of course I stand to be corrected, but I can't see why any type of 'anti-movement' bars are required at all.

@northernridgedesigns

Жыл бұрын

Thank you for the compliments. Most of the people that comment that it is done wrong, feel they have to comment to make themselves feel right…when most have no idea what they’re talking about. From my own experience the embedded bars work….there are other ways to do it, such as c channel, but the bars do work. You’re right, relative humidity and temperature changes can make wood move. All wood moves, but if the wood has reached the equilibrium moisture level, movement should be minimal. This table was not sealed on the bottom, as from my experience I felt it was not necessary due to the bracing and how the top was being secured. Even if the slab was completely encapsulated, I feel temperature changes could still cause the wood to swell and shrink (move). Thank you for watching!

Nicely done for your first river table. If you are successful in getting more contracts to build these tables it might be advantageous to purchase a drum sander.....makes life faster and easier. Well done

Or do you wipe them as they form until they form no more? Thanks again!

@northernridgedesigns

2 жыл бұрын

My thoughts are wood is going to expand and contract if it wants to and there is no way to totally stop it. In these large slabs it can be drastic. In my experience the best things you can do to mitigate it is make sure the wood reaches equilibrium moisture and embed supports. Of course this is all IMHO. Thanks for watching!

Congratulations, very nice table. I would like to ask you a couple of questions that came to mind when I saw the video. I can’t avoid getting holes in the epoxy resin when I use the router sled. Could you tell me the depth of each passes and the speed of the router? I can’t figure out why I always get this kind of chains of holes in the epoxy and I thought i could be that. Thanks a lot in advance.

If you mix the epoxy to soon it will just all go to a flat color. Wait until is just starts to get a little thick and then swirl it. You will find that the "lines" you draw in it will stay that way. Takes a few times to see when its thick enough.
