Response to your question about 21 minutes in the video. The safety feature of the saw blade stop works off of a voltage differential between the trigger mechanism and a conductive media like a finger. Styrofoam sheets being cut with a rotary blade would be like rubbing a balloon against a flannel shirt. The Styrofoam creates a static charge greater than the blade safety mechanism can handle. A volt differential tripped the circuit.

Loved the video. One suggestion I would give, is to make your work table with the ability to raise the height to help save your back during some of your processes. You could probably have your friend the welder create the table and you can use a pneumatic system. You can also build a winch system like they use for boats to move those massive, heavy slabs from your truck to your work table. Many years ago my dad and I replaced an engine in my car and he built a very simple winch that was attached to wood beam He set on the two walls on each side of the garage. We were then able to move the motor exactly where we wanted it. I was lucky to grow up with a genius engineer for a dad. He knew how to solve pretty much any engineering task.

Professional epoxy installer here with over a decade experience. Those small pits that you carved out then re-filled can be completely avoided. Epoxy airates as it cures often causing bubbles (fisheyes) that pop and sink or stay above the surface. An easy and cheap method to prevent that is to use a heat gun at a moderate distance to pop them during the curing process (when it becomes tacky). I have a ton of epoxy tips for you if youre interested. Whether youre using 100 solids, polyeurethane or polyurea.

Regarding the CNC question, I always use the father of a dear friend of mine, Kazuyoshi Ichiro, as my yardstick. He was a metalworker in Susono, Japan. His family had been blacksmiths and metalworkers for generations, and as proper Japanese artisans they respectfully prioritized tradition and traditional practices. However, they also used modern tools. Their attitude was that trucks and cars are more effective than carts drawn by horses or donkeys, and understanding the "why" of a tradition is at least as important as the "what" or "how". The traditional approach was to produce the best result possible with the materials, tools and techniques available, and while that led to the development of masterful skills that almost became art forms, the reason was often because of limitations in the available materials, tools or techniques. As a result, when he worked with the metal, instead of using a set of hammers and an anvil as his grandfather had done, he used a hydraulic press designed for blacksmithing. His philosphy was that the craftsman should put in 100% effort and focus to produce the best result they possibly can, using the best tools they have available. So using a CNC machine to help would be absolutely no problem, as long as the craftsman is still focussed on producing the best piece they possibly can :-)

@markowalhout

Very well put! And make no mistake: getting CNC to actually produce the same quality as artisan work is a an art in itself!!

The people that say using a CNC is cheating, or there is no skill involved clearly don't own, or know how to operate a CNC.

All the associated CAD / CAM programs and how to get the best possible result is an art in itself. While it CAN produce a better result, it isn't automatically guaranteed, you will need to master that tool the same as you do the hammer and chisel.

Absolutely stunning! Love the deeper colour - prefer this to the red. But then my preference is toward an overall darker look, as I feel it defines the wood grain beautifully.

Beautiful table! I would have preferred the red but that metal base!!🤌 stunning artwork too!

That round slab at the beginning of the video is INSANE I can't wait to see what you do with it 😍

Won’t that make one heck of a pretty table. Shoot, that’s something your kids and grandkids and their kids would fight to get!

I love the natural color of walnut. Once I worked for a wealthy dr. His wife scored a magnificent walnut armoire,bed, and 2 dressers. Said she sent it to be refinished. When I saw it, it was heavy cream enamel paint with Brown spatters on them all. She gushed," Isn't it ❤️❤️. ". I BROKE DOWN in tears. She couldn't understand why, called it" that ugly wood!! I still 20 years later, think it was a crime!!

Ew! That sounds hideous.😳 Why didn't she just buy plastic furniture if that's the look she was going for? Such a crime to hide the natural beauty of the color & wood grain.

When I’m at work sitting at the desk doing some paperwork or something I always play these videos in the background. Kinda of calming and peaceful. Thank you for your content!

Great job, I do some woodwork on gun stocks, and a reddish hue is traditional on the finest English doubles and vintage Winchester high grade guns. These are all walnut stocks as well. There is a blend from a manufacture who has perfectly replicated this, from a 125 years ago. Be glad to pass this on, as it would be fantastic color on a large table. Great Vid.

The table & leg fusion is...perfect. My God man, you are not only talented, you're a full-on artist in the highest degree. That table is optimistic jazz rhythms & beats, in corporeal form!

SawStop is one of the greatest woodworking inventions of all time. It saved my dad's fingers, and my cat.

I enjoyed this video. It reminded me why i like to make my own furniture like shelving and tv stands. I personally prefer just clear coat but i usually work with pine, plywood is easy on my pocket, and the yellow/oranges really help brighten up my mostly dark rooms. So the brighter table is more pleasing to me.

Okay…I am absolutely loving both pieces…omg…I wish I was not 73 and had lots of money because I would love to be able to work with wood like you do. Since I know zero about all of what you do, I am just in total awe. If you could do better,I wouldn’t know. Hard, gorgeous work that produces something that stunning is just amazing…thank you for sharing such a craft and skill.

"Everything we do is a pain"- absolutely love this. I dont do woodworking or anything, but i like seeing how you guys do this stuff and the process. I am a 3D artist, and i can see the similarities between 3D art and woodworking. Obviously, two completely different crafts , but still run into problems every project. Every project is a puzzle, and that's a part of the appeal i suppose. Solving small (sometimes large) problems.

I do woodworking and I can't see any similarities. No hate but I feel like tablet "painting" and 3d printing has destroyed the craftsmanship and art of actually creating something with your hands. I can't imagine it feels nearly as satisfying when finished. Maybe I'm wrong, don't mind if there's some schooling you can take me to to change my mind?

Better or worse, If the client loves, that’s all that really matters. I’m a fan of the reddish hues myself. Seeing your pros & cons with CNC vs hand cut bowties would be interesting, the occasional CNC flattening would be good to see as well. All the best Cam.

Your work is first class. If your customers knew more about wood and stain effects it would be better. Sending the examples as you did shows your attention to customer satisfaction. All the things you did for this project tells me you deserve top dollar for your product!

Better. I love watching your videos. I appreciate your sense of humor as much as your beautiful craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing the process with us. ❤

BETTER!!! Didn’t see any worse in that entire video. Thank you for the tips and that is an amazing finished product. Beautiful. 😊

Accidentally stumbled onto this and I am hooked! This was so informative. I am just starting to play around (safely) in my boyfriends unused woodworking garage, to take my love of “crafting with furniture” to the next level. The table is absolutely STUNNING!

As a Gemologist/Jeweler, I can appreciate how time-condensed these types of videos are. On that note, most people who enjoy viewing these videos have no idea just how long the process actually is. I remember a customer ordering a custom ring from me and wanting it overnight. She just couldn't understand there were other projects ahead of hers and that the process itself takes a long time. I had to keep myself from laughing when she said, "don't you just pour the gold into a machine and the ring comes out?"

That is HILARIOUS! As a crafter that sells handmade product using pyrography, I feel this. I had people ask me why my product was so expensive, and I had to explain to them how long it depends to actually work each piece. Of course they don't understand the art (ex: hardness of the wood determines how easy the burn will be, etc) but it's a "if you know you know" moment. I finally added video to some of my more expensive/popular pieces, so people could see. 😆

@@CTCRZ I admire your craft. I'm sure you'll agree, when you've put a lot of time, effort and skill in executing something like a custom car or custom ring, there's nothing like the dual satisfaction of having done what you've done, but also, the unabashed pleasure the client experiences when they take possession of it.

If I could afford a table like that I would so order one. I love the grain and the color. When he put that black on there I was like "whoa, I don't know about this". But it turned out so gorgeous! Watching this video just goes to show that there's a tremendous amount of work that goes into constructing hand made products like this. I would love to have a handmade table but I would have a live edge on it if possible. I have wood throughout my house and love the warmth that it brings to a home. The people that bought this table will hopefully watch this video so they know how much care and love went into the table they bought. Just beautiful!!!!

I've been watching your videos for a while now. I love the pieces that you create. I'm not a wood worker, nor do I have aspirations to become one, I just like the process of how it goes from raw material to finished product. Anyway, keep on making awesome projects and content.

Both of the tables were absolutely gorgeous! I would be proud to have either one in my home!

"I was literally addressing you specifically!" Might be the greatest reply ever!!! Thanks for another great video!! Also thanks for making all of this work seem easy. It's the people like you that make a very very difficult thing seem easy that get people like me to try doing it and then me realizing that even with my knowledge and experience it's still a very very hard trade to do! Thanks for making me challenge myself!!

Well and truly late to this, but I've been binging some of your videos and this is the second time I've seen you struggle with the syringe and the dye for the epoxy. If you pre-load the syringe with air, equal to the volume of dye you need, then inject the air into the bottle and allow the positive pressure to force dye back into the syringe, you'll have a much, much easier time. I don't know if you're still using this method, but if there's anyone else reading the comments who might find this helpful, this is for you too.

Better. Hollywood puts the bloopers at the end. You are so funny. So real. Say it exactly how it happens, no cuts. You have a great sense of humour. So talented. You create art.

The only downside is I cannot smell the wood while you are working on it. Love both tables. Epoxy is something that lends itself to many applications. I love seeing a person transform a utilitarian object and turn it into art. It's like when my pottery teacher in high school brought in a bag of chicken poop and showed us how to make a glaze. It was phenomenal!

I am an intermediate woodworker, retired dentist. It took me 6 to 9 months, depending upon how you want to measure it, to accumulate some tools, create changes to my router table, and construct a 8 " by 12 " by 5 " keepsake box. I wasn't surprised when it took me that long, due to the intricacy of this keepsake box. They say don't do your woodworking when you are too tired, or in my case too old and too tired, 76 years old. I can only praise you for your workmanship and expertise, and knowledge. I once took me 7 months to build a kayak/canoe some years ago. I didn't have a woodshop in those days. I had a sinus condition for 7 months because I did all of my woodworking in the downstairs part of the house. I could smell the varnish or epoxy whenever I entered the house in the upstairs front door. You are only to be commended for all your great results.

First I enjoyed this video, although it was a large table the actual steps seem very straightforward. I have watched other guys make epoxy river tables and they use heat to get bubbles out. Didn't see you do that in this, would that have been a benefit? For the creator, I liked the redder stain than the charcoal, seems to celebrate the wood more. Since you were looking to apply finish to a 120 grit flat slab, why not skip flattening slab until after applying epoxy then run the piece thru the giant sander? All the sander marks would be with the grain similar to a belt sander on a floor. If you explained this sorry but please do again.

I don't know how I became side tracked by this video, but I'm glad I did. I couldn't stop watching it. It was so interesting to see all the steps and hard work put into such a beautiful table. Your attention to detail is amazing, and I love that your wife helps you. You should really be proud of your fine work. I admire your skills.
