I'll vouch for your courses. Last year I bought the Longview Table. I'll soon be purchasing the matching chair course. After that I plan on building your Spider Table. I highly recommend the courses for beginners and intermediate builders, especially if you're like me--you suck at design. I'd call myself an...advanced intermediate...builder.

Thank you for the kind words and support. Always appreciate hearing it from other people. I genuinely do believe we make the best plans out there...but obviously I'm going to be biased. I hope that people who watch the channel often know that I'm not a very "braggadocios" kind of guy. But at the end of the day...I'm selling woodworking courses...so it's understandable that people might take my opinion with a grain of salt.

I'm a small shop out of Florida, your plans look great plus the fact that you off a template too is really top tier. I think setting up a large catalogue of designs for sale or licensing would be the way to go, I do custom commissions so everything is a one off and I wish I had fusion back then to remake with ease to resell a cool piece.

​@@Foureyes.FurnitureYour humility and modesty do come through in your videos, but you're right: Your courses are some of the best I've seen in thirty years. You should be proud of them. They're incredibly inexpensive relative to all that they offer and the attention to detail in their production. I've learned more about design from your videos and plans in two years than I have from all other sources since I started building. I'm nearing completion on my first MCM inspired pedestal table that I designed and owe its (hopeful) success to you. Keep it up.

As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practise the full stack project, is still great.

Yooo Seth Fowler I'm a big fan

I think an interesting idea for the leftover epoxy top (if that ends up being the leftover) is to make it a shelf underneath a higher and larger clear-top table. We had one like that in our previous house (albeit a circular table that can seat up to a dozen people), where the lower shelf was used to store extra coasters or even refills for the self-serve dishes people are eating (an extra basket of garlic bread, for instance).

Honestly that leg setup is mesmerizing. reminds me of something youd find in a modern Hobbit hole

Winning bidder: "So do you want the polished walnut top, or the industrial waste with dead flies in it?"

That base is so beautiful that a transparent top (as shown in the thumbnail) would look great on it. Also, if the epoxy top needs a new purpose, I'd go with a smaller base; it felt like it was drowning in / being suffocated by the base from this video.

Honestly, the transparent top you show in the thumbnail is the best because it shows the cool structure of the legs underneath it. You said the design was all about the legs, but we can't see the legs with either the black top or the solid wood top. Transparent top is the winner!

The completed table with the epoxy top looks really nice and modern. The table with the walnut top looks truly beautiful. Amazingly so. I'd take the walnut one every day of the week.

Both tabletops are beautiful, but the epoxy one is the winner, excellent work. Someday I will have enough money saved up to afford one of your creations.

I see your point about the black epoxy top. What about using the CNC to carve in a Celtic Knot pattern or some other geometric design that you could fill with a white epoxy or some other contrasting color? Gold would most certainly be eye popping.

You could do that...I like simple minimal things in that regard though. Especially with a base that is already pretty attention grabbing.

you could have cur your losses, done this with a piece of some random plastic , but you continued ABSOLUTE LEGEND mad respect

I really like the look of the epoxy top more then the wooden top, but I understand the issues of scuffing overtime. I think the epoxy top would be best used as maybe a backing to some kinda of wall art piece. Alternatively... One could get a fitted glass top to place on the epoxy

I love your commentary. Your videos are incredible. I usually smile or chuckle multiple times jurying the video. I really like the epoxy top better and understand the long term use issues, there I would suggest a 1/2” thick piece of tempered glass with a matching bullnose edge. I remember back when you were still a desk jockey trying to decide if you such go all in. I again want to thank you for your choice to entertain me.

¿Alguna vez has pensado hacer mesas para dibujo técnico o artístico? De esas que se usan inclinadas, o también mesas para calcar como las que usan los animadores usando epoxi. Sería genial si tuviera las luces incorporadas desde arriba y ambos lados para poder trabajar sin sombras

great piece as usual. I can confirm your plans are absolutely great. I got the free one and adapted it to make a bench (instead of a table). Because the plans were clear and complete, I had no issue changing the dimensions for my use. Thank you for inspiring me.

I love the chunk graphic! Tree to little pieces to the final product. I spent a lot of years working on trail crews and we always joked about how our jobs were taking big pieces of wood (that fell across the trail) and turning them into smaller pieces of wood.

Hey, i have recently been to a restaurant. They had glass tops and over it was thin layer of 1cm clear silicone/plastic. It was to protect the glass top and also give option to keep their menu in between the layers. This would keep your epoxy top scratch free and also be usable. Easily cleaned.

i feel like putting a sheet of glass on top of the epoxy would help it stay nice and clean looking without losing the look... but maybe thats a bit expensive to have done no idea

I think using CNC could definitely make a video interesting - it's having parts cut then assembled like legos - a lot of people find that satisfying. Plus, timelapses of CNC milling can look super satisfying to a lot of folks.

Love the table. It’s awesome. I have been watching ur videos since u where in ur garage. I hope to be able to design and build furniture as good as you and ur partner both do.

Hi Chris, I started watching this video thinking I might learn something about using a new material to make tops for furniture pieces. The prospect of a transparent/translucide top with more than two centimeters thickness and a top that weighed less than a small car (I have used glass and stone for tops of similar sized pieces) was intriguing. But what I think I learned is that I really don’t want to deal with plastic shavings and dust in the shop. Hazmat suits are fine, but if you don’t need one it’s probably better. What I ended up appreciating the most was, as always with your videos, the design process. Who knew flies could be so interesting ? Anyway, thanks for the explanations. I’ll be waiting for the next installment. Cheers, Keith

Neat add for the insurance company, normally I fast forward through adds but in this I watched the woodwork while listening through the ad, well done!
