  • The client's wife said this nearly nine-foot 500lb slab of live edge walnut was too big for their house. And I was a little nervous working on a $6700 chunk of wood that might not be able to be used. The husband said to go ahead though, so I just made the best table I could and hoped she was wrong.

      @@andrew_koala2974 "80 years old" is correct English. So is "80 years of age". Both are found in formal English, the latter is perhaps a little more old-fashioned. Or do you want to tell me that "5-year-old child" should be written "5-years-of-age child"? The idea that only things become old and not people seems bizarre to me. People do become old. That's why they're called "old people". Or do you think "old people" is bad English too?

    Charlie - I have just stumbled across your channel and wanted to say this was very enjoyable! I have made a much smaller live edge table from a tree that fell on my workshop/garage and demolished it - just for a remembrance (long story HAHA). Your work brings making a table like this to a much higher level! Great work!

    Charlie, I love this table and I love your epoxy tables too! Really what I enjoy about your videos is your good sense of humor, that you show the problems that you run into, and you find a good solution to those problems. I do a little bit of wood working, mostly on my CNC, its totally different than what you do but I still learn little things from watching you.

    Charlie, I am a guitar player and my personal favorite guitars are acoustic guitars because of the various woods that can be used to make expensive guitar. I have over 10 guitars 4 electric and 6 acoustic and multiple types of wood from Mahogany, Cocobolo, Rosewood, Ovangkol and Maple. Nothing makes me more excited when buying a guitar than how the different woods look on a guitar and how the wood makes the guitar sound. I love how wood looks and how nature has shaped and created wonderful lines. I love watching your YT channel and how beautiful you make your tables look. My favorite part is when you first put on a finish and how the wood just jumps out. Always a fan!

    Beautiful table Charlie! I have 2 suggestions for you. 1) Look into a product called CPES (clear penetrating epoxy sealer). It's a 2 part liquid epoxy used a lot in marine projects that is specifically designed to penetrate into the wood and stabilize it. 2) For ripping those thin pieces on the table saw, get yourself a set (or two) of Grrrrippers.

  • @ted9876
    @ted9876 2 года назад +25

    Charlie, I gotta agree. After watching your stuff for years and having a major case of shop envy, I’d put a hoist on a beam so you could lift and move these slabs around your shop. A slipped disk or hernia is no fun and could put you out of work. Oh BTW, same thing has happened to me with a router a couple of times. The worst was when the bit ended stuck in the ceiling. Still trying to get my other ball to drop……

    • @Copperpot8898
      @Copperpot8898 2 года назад +4

      Charlie, I have to agree with Ted, every time I see you lift those slabs all I can think of is “can’t he put a hoist system in with a button and straps to help him flip those slabs” if you’re hurt we don’t get great content and your customers don’t get awesome wood working projects. Think about!!!
