It is a very good book for beginners as well as for those that are already into kzread.infoUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt A very good basic ebook to keep as a reference too. I like it and the way the subject matter is presented. It has humor and that helps with the reading.

I live in Tokyo, Japan. A few years ago ,on a whim, I took up a kintsugi class. We did it on broken bowls and other potteries. It's not as easy as it seems but it really worth the time and efforts !

Kintsuge is one of the most beautiful mending methods/art forms.

Beautiful work! As for to stain or not to stain, each piece will speak for itself. The fact that you had problems w/ the overfill was the piece correcting your choice to bring you to where it wanted to be. This is a table I can see being put in a prestigious position in a huge office type atmosphere. Beautiful job!

I fully agree with you on Springsteen. He is probably the most over rated "artist" on the planet. The table is gorgeous!

Come ON!?!? Really? Springsteen was pretty awesome. Maybe not the absolute best but certainly wasn't half as horrendous as yall make him out.

Beautiful. I think the kintsugi technique with the black stain really enhanced the natural beauty of the cookie. Staining the base the black gave it a cohesive look. Well done, I think you did a great job. I enjoy watching your channel because you're willing to try new things.

I absolutely applaud you for showing your mistakes and letting us know how you fix said mistakes. Also teaching your daughter your craft. I can tell you're a great Dad.... Ok, annnnnyway... This table is SO SOOOOOOOO Gorgeous. Fantastic work Jonny.

I just found your channel with this video suggestion. I might be slightly obsessed with kintsugi repair and just love the idea of something that is imperfectly perfect and where imperfections are highlighted, not hidden, and the result is something so much more beautiful because of the imperfection. Beautiful table and love that the breaks were embraced rather than covered up. The mishap uncrating it and transportating it is a part of the journey of that slab, just as every ring is.

I love it when your daughters in the videos seeing families being happy, and having fun makes the videos better. It’s part of the reason why I like, watching fab rats, or Matts off-road recovery

First, As a teacher, Im glad your daughter seemed interested and got to try herself. Second, this table looks stunning. I really love the fading with the gold. super cool

I came over from Blacktail, and this is the first video I watched. Kitsugi is one of my favorite techniques, for repairing broken items, and this sold me on sticking around for a while. Thanks!

It's beautiful! At first when you said you were going to stain it black I thought that was sacrilegious, but to see the finished product, the black stain brought out the natural brown colour and the gold leaf really sets it off, excellent!!

My biggest takeaway from this was at 22:55- the kaizen foam/sandpaper "dispenser". Table looks good, too...

Props for trying out the kintsugi technique on such a large piece. I've seen in before in bowls and pottery, first time I'm seeing it on furniture. This piece wasn't my cup of tea, but then again, I'm not about to buy a several thousand dollar table anyway. Thanks for the content and especially for showing us how you worked through the various problems and mistakes along the way, that is exceedingly helpful for the rest of us mere mortals.

Absolutely beautiful! Truly! I’ve begun watching a good deal of woodworking content, but this is genuinely the prettiest table creation I’ve seen thus far. Phenomenal and honestly perfect. Wish I could afford this for my home. God bless whoever buys this lovely piece, I believe a lot of love and consideration went into it, and will translate to the lucky owner for years to come! Best!

This is the first video that I've watched from you. Absolutely spectacular! Absolutely no sin and standing the Walnut especially since it turned out so amazingly beautiful. I have a friend who studies Japanese art forms painting and drawing and this is very familiar with the kintsugi art form. I've sent her your video:-) hopefully she'll give you a comment after she seen it.

Wow this turned out incredible. I love how you repaired it. Very enjoyable to watch this table come to life!

Beautiful. Like a bolt of lightning across a dark sky. We have storms just like it in Australia. I have seen the same method of Katsugi on cracked floor tiles, so using it on wood is just another clever adaption.

Beautiful table and the Kintsugi treatment made this project even more special. Kudos for a job well done.

This is the second video I've seen making an epoxy table with mapa burl, and that wood really is amazing. The gold inlay to 'repair' the cracks added more character than just a simple cookie slab. You're a true artist with the medium!

kintsugi is the technique you're using but the philosophy it's meant to represent; Wabi-sabi. The wabi-sabi aesthetics is inspired by the world-view of finding beauty in the imperfect. That's why they put gold in the cracks of the pottery. It's meant to signify the beauty in the flaws of the bowl.

Kintsugi apparently translates as golden joinery as in joining broken pottery. A Japanese emperor imported a Chinese tea service and some got broken and we're repaired by joining the pieces together with gold wire staples, he said surely there's a better way of doing this. I paraphrase but essentially that's how kintsugi came about.

I'm uncertain as to the validity of the claim, but it would be pretty funny if my understanding of the Wabi-sabi philosophy in relation to kintsugi was based on bullshit.

I'm going to help you out: "Kintsugi apparently translates as golden joinery as in joining broken pottery.

Awesome shop. And great woodwork. Thanks for showing the mistakes, and how long things take.

using the pencil to check your sanding works fine, but try out powdered guide coat, they also have it in aerosol (I use mirka currently). A product dedicated for finding any imperfections through the sanding process. Not only good for sand scratches, but also checking for straightness or flatness. Another body mans tip! Hope this comment finds your eyes, let Cam know too!!

I like darker colors too because they really pop especially if it’s a redwood and red oak.

the stain is gorgeous, really brings out the character of the wood! I think the only thing that could be improved is the transition between the gold foil and black epoxy, there are some spots where you can see a repeated pattern caused by pressing the foil sheet down which is a small distraction. I think if you had mixed the gold foil with clear epoxy and used that, it would have created a more random application that you could mask off and feather out with more control. beautiful table overall!

The stain hides the character of the wood. You have to squint to even see the wood.

My God, I admire your hard work on all of this!! And your daughter with the doggie made the video so much better!! Thanks!

Magnif! I love the Japanese modern morph. Try some Japanese joinery too, some time on your under structure. I did for a bed frame made with 5/4 walnut harvested and milled locally in Central New Jersey. It turned out great but no pics. There are some good Japanese jpiner books out there.

Seeing your daughter in the video was wonderful! You should do a video where you two work on a project together if she's interested! It'd honestly make me so happy to see you passing down your craft to her! Each video I have seen her in, she seems so nice and happy, especially the projects you have made for her! I'd love to see her more ^^

For clarity's sake, Stains are heavy pigment mixed with some sort of hardening binder that sits (mostly) on top of the wood and covers up at the grain and figure Dyes are pure pigment mixed in either water or some other solvent that soak into the wood and then evaporate leaving only the pigment, highlighting and accentuating grain and figure Dye is always a fun and good idea in Fine Furniture with heavily figured Woods, stain should never be used in Fine Furniture

Looks amazing i like the stained walnut base, I had doubts about the gold but it really pops and makes the table look so elegant! Great job

This turned out so high-end looking. It should go into a multi-million-dollar home. I would love to know what price you put on it too. You put a lot of work into it, but the final product is a masterpiece.

Love the trick to fix the gouging marks on edge of table. Thanks for the tip.

I really enjoyed the process, and the base excellent with the style and design of the table. You are truly an artist extraordinaire!

It's a beaut! Stain looks great, and actually, the diminishing gold is quite a nice touch.

Pencil marks...good idea! I took my students to Japan in 1999 and saw quite a few examples of kintsukuroi repaired ceramics. We also saw many examples of Shou Sugi Ban on traditional fences as well as modern houses. Table is amazing! Will you keep it? Sabarashi!

I loved the stain on both the slab and the walnut base, however personally I liked the table MUCH better before the gold leaf. That being said, great job on both the video and on the stunningly beautiful table.

Amazing build, the table came out great.

Beautiful piece. I wonder how the gold-to-black transition would have worked if you had blended gold flake into the black filler epoxy? I hope this piece finds a home worthy of its aesthetic. And you’re right about Springsteen: while I find his musical talents over-rated, he is a good guy when it comes to the working class, standing up for what’s right, and treating everyone with equanimity.

Love the table - personally though I think I would have gone with the gold branching outwards (kinda in a tree-effect) rather than tapering off, I think that would have added to the naturalistic feel of slab (trees within a tree?). That being said, I in no way have the technical ability to any of this or the creative vision to think of it in the first place!

Beautiful! I can't stop thinking how that Kumiko table base would have looked under this table, with the gold and organic shapes.

Hi Johnny I love the table its a beauty and thank you for another great build

I have a question - Given that wood changes over time, depending on the weather, the humidity, the care, the age of the wood etc and epoxy doesn't (at least not at the same rate) - what's preventing any of these wood and epoxy creations from breaking apart over time? specifically since you don't submerge the wood fully in the epoxy, but rather use it as a cohesion material.

C Channel & Rubio. However, he used 2 sections of C Channel. I would have used 3 to create a triangle. Additionally the C Channel shouldn't be overly tightened via the threaded inserts. This will only aid in preventing warping. That in of itself should mitigate the creation or spread of cracks. This would be appropriate for most climates.

The table came out great! Life is always an adventure when working with big burls and epoxy. What doesn't kill us, burn the shop down, or get us arrested, makes us stronger woodworkers!
