The Sapphire Brick Table!

Hello, friends!
Come check out our brand new shop launch! formanwoodworking.com/
_____________________________________
Check out my very first table I've ever built!
This one was a long time coming. For almost a year now, I've wanted to start on this, but I could never quite seem to find the courage to try my hands at making a table. As you may have noticed, they're a fair bit larger than pens or bowls!! ;)
Anyways, after somehow finding some bravery, I finally decided to give it a try. As many of you who regularly follow this channel know, I'm a big fan of incorporating wooden bricks into my projects; the floating wood illusion that the resin creates is just something I could spend all day looking at. For that reason, I just had to see how such an effect would look in table format.
Given my current woodworking experience, this wound up being quite the undertaking, and it took far longer to complete that I had originally thought it would. That said, I am thrilled with how the final product turned out, and I am definitely going to revisit this again in the future with some different wood/resin colour combinations. If you have any suggestions on what dye and wood colour combinations would go well together, I'd love to hear them down in the comments below!

    Thank you so much, Mark, that's very kind of you! And do you mean opaque black resin? If so, no, I haven't yet, but I very much want to for another coffee table idea I have. I could be mistaken, but I think I've seen some use charcoal powder to get a ridiculously black pigment. I might have to look into that. If you mean black in the same way I used the blue here (transparent dye), I haven't done that either yet, but I'm also interested in giving that a shot.

    Simply incredible! One of the best epoxy table designs I've ever seen. I have a couple of questions about the build: 1. Why did you use a jigsaw to cut the wooden planks instead of the circular saw? 2. Why did you leave a couple of pieces out in non-symmetrical spots? Looking forward to more of your content!

    Thank you so much! To answer your questions, 1) I actually don't have a circular saw, although I did just recently get a miter saw, which I would have used at the time had I had it then. 2) Just for artistic purposes! I had all the bricks in the mould, and it spontaneously occurred to me that it might look better if there were a few "holes" in the bricks.

    One of the coolest tables I have ever seen. I am definitely going to do my own. One question - what was the step where you put the epoxy in a bucket and put some compressed air on it? Is that pushing out air bubbles?

  • @formanwoodworking

    @formanwoodworking

    Thank you, Michael! And that was a vacuum chamber hooked up to a vacuum pump. I was concerned with bubbles appearing in the final product, so I tried to pull out as much of the air as I could from the resin before pouring it into the mould.

    I’d love to know the brick dimensions, why did you add a little epoxy first before adding the colored one. Would a beginner wood worker be able to take this on?

  • @formanwoodworking

    @formanwoodworking

    Жыл бұрын

    Great questions. First, the brick dimensions were 3.5 inches wide, 9 inches long, and 0.75 inches deep (before flattening with the router). Regarding the epoxy, because wood is so porous, it tends to let out air when mixed with resin. This can result in bubbles forming in your final resin product, which I was trying to avoid as much as possible. To help with this, I first sealed all sides of every brick to try and close off those pores before doing my full flood pour. As for beginners... tough to say. In some ways, I still very much consider myself a beginner wood worker, so I guess I'd say yes? But I have done quite a number of resin projects now, which I think was super helpful in taking on this project. Resin can be a bit tricky sometimes.

    Thank you! And that's called a vacuum chamber. It pulls a vacuum inside of the pot and draws all the air and bubbles out of the resin before I do the final pour in the mould. This step just helps prevent bubbles from appearing in the final product and make the resin appear more like glass.

    Hi Stuart. My apologies, this was the first time I've ever used a router, so I'm not super familiar with the terminology yet. I had to google this. Am I correct in that you're asking why I pulled the router in the same direction as the feed? If so, the very first pass I did with the router when I was straightening up the sides, I actually used a push-cut and I got a decent bit of tear out on one of the bricks. I have no idea if tear out is more common with a push-cut compared to a climb-cut, but I decided to switch directions and just see if the results were any different. I had no tear out after that, so either the direction mattered, or that one brick was just prone to tear out to begin with. The climb-cut was definitely a challenge to control, though!
