The best and simplest video of this process I've seen so far. Thanks so much for making this guys
Love it. Came here to see how "easy" it is to make one at home...... Not as easy as I thought! Would've been great if you had put a small island in the middle of the river! 👍
Thank y'all so much for a video that actually explains what you did and how you did it. Also, the materials you used in the process. So many "how to" videos don't even tell you "how to" do it, even though their video had it in the title.
Thanks Casey, very kind.
Stunning. That table kinda looks like a high altitude shot of a river flowing through a desert.
Very cool. Excellent clear cut instructions compared to other vids on the subject, and the re-cap of all needed materials/tools at the end is very helpful.
I'm planning to do a resin pour project next year or later this year, and first watching lots of how-to vids to educate myself how it's done, since it's something I've never done before. Your vid is among the very best, if not the best, I've seen on the subject.
Added to my DIY playlist, and will watch this again just prior to my epic experimental project! :)
Hands down, this has to be the most beautiful table I have ever seen! 2 thumbs up my man!
This is really a very well explained video. Most of the videos are not that explanatory. Thanks. I will ask for suggestions once I start with my resin table.
What an amazing, AMAZING river table.
This is an amazing process for making a beautiful table. Very informative and thanks for sharing the material list at the end.
Thanks for the step by step video. This table is beautiful. Nice work.
Well done! It must be a real joy to make a table like that and I'd love to do it the trouble is everything's going to be a five minute job until I start it!! Again well done, lovely work. Kind regards . . . Andy
Wow, fabulous. ..you are very organised and clean nothing goes to waste nor dirt around...kudos!
Wow!!! I’ve been wanting to try making a small end table. This is very informative, thank you.
Amigo me gusta mucho el arte que haces con la resina epoxi y la madera muy bonita tabla
Stunning. Stunning stunning stunning...
Absolutely beautiful work! What an amazing and informative video, thank you guys!
Amazingly beautiful work of art 🙂
Thank you so much 😀
Hello, I am writing a comment in Korea. I have seen a lot of Rivertable work videos, but I haven't seen the perfect work If it's really beautiful and close, I'd like to meet it. It might be weird to post it on a translator. Please understand. These days, I'm into the Rivertable, and I'm looking for a lot of videos, so I'm setting up my subscription and alarms.Thank you for the good video.
WD mates, thanks for sharing, cheers...
That is a gorgeous resin river table.
Fantastic instruction! I can't wait to make my table.
Beautiful finish. Easy to follow instructions.
Well done mate, I love how it turned out!
Thanks for the video! Pretty much you need a wood shop to make it of this quality but I’m trying to make one myself just at home with tools I have
Adrian Sandoval me too!!!
Great! Perfect for pieces of tough wood
Absolutely gorgeous!!!
Love this so much I picked up live edge wood today and will be starting on my project! Thank you for making this great video!! (From Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA)
kidphillyorg how’s your project going?
Absolutely stunning
has achieved a wonderful result.
The best..... Wonderful way of explaining...
Glad you liked it
Incredible work! Just fantastic!!
amazing videography ..
really want to try this one day
Amazing craftsmanship
those tables are stunning, nice work mate
Parabéns pelo trabalho!!
👏👏👍👍🇧🇷
During the large pour, do you allow it to go over the wood? It looks like the entire surface is covered in resin, not just he "river" part.
Hi Seth, No the resin isn't covered over the entire top of the wood - it flows over the edges probably 3-4cm during the pour, and into any cracks or knots in the wood. When the table is then routed after it comes out of the mould, it takes it back so the resin is only in the river and the wood is completely exposed.
Thank you sir for this good knowledge share
Thanks for the instructions!
Dear Sir, It was such a delight seeing your works. I am planning to setup a small workshop here in my country. It would be great if I can get some insight and advise from you.. Thanks in advance.
This is fantastic! I’m curious: if I wanted get the wood to be a black matte finish , how would I do that while keeping the resin glossy and polished?
Hi - Perhaps a black wood stain would be your best bet? Build your river table and polish then resin, then add the stain, that's what i'd do I think
Try burning a la Japanese method
great+thorough explanations, makes me want to try it myself, sadly i have nearly none of the equipment.....damn, i wish there was some kind of workshop around here where you can pay to do your project using their tools ;-(
It's so beautiful, I want to build too!
Amazing very informative and well narrate. God bless and more power. Thank you for helping us. Hope I can buy that brand here in Philippines seems nice and beautiful outcome
Beautiful....so envious of your creativity...I am going to try and find someone who can me help with making such a beautiful table...
Check out @thebeardedjoineruk or @ilukalondon or @ravenriverdesigns - they will all be able to make you a fantastic table...
Very well done love the look great job
Beautiful Mash Allah
Perfect, l loved the color
Loving the end results👌 when shall we ever get there in terms of technology. ..wish you can get a chance to bring such in kenya that would be of help to many artisans!
simply WOW
Fantastic tutorial! Beautiful piece too!
Absolutely beautiful.
Two quick questions.
1. What is the releasing agent used for these types of resins.
2. Before the pour, did he silicone the wood to the base to hold in place and seal the bottom, or is that done by the stand offs alone
Hi Berry -
1. The release agent used on the melamine is called "Mirror Glaze" it's buffed on, left for 5 minutes and then buffed off before the pour.
2. The edges of the mould have Caulk around them, and another bead is run about 2 inches back from the river, on both the top and bottom, and then it's clamped down, to stop the wood from floating.
I hope that helps. Scott - Eli-Chem
Verr nice sir,
Pls send full ditale of evraj mixing epoxy resin & hardner pls,
Thank u so much ur shearing listen this vidios.
I do not know if you will get this comment.. But was wondering about the strength of the table where the wood and resin meet? I does not need any reinforcing? or is is more fragile than normal? I am planning to make something similar soon but am trying to find all I can first before my attempt to increase the odds of success on the first run.
Hi - The strength of the bond between the resin and wood is exceptional, so that's not a concern, however if you are building a large dining table, it can be a good idea to use some metal plating underneath to help support and limit the chance of any bowing.
The table we made in this video is 600mm x 900mm x 25mm and did not require and addition support.
@@EliChemResinsUKLtd Thanks for the information..every bit helps.. I am going to do a coffee table this spring (I m looking for some nice wood now) Plus the idea of bowing had never entered my mind.. The coffee table will not be a problem.. But if it turn out as expected a dining room table would be next.. Thanks again and Merry Christmas.

My works too. Used Avasva handbooks and build it with no problems.
Hi there!!, I love Your video!, is very thorough!!, with understanding!, so I will support Your webpage if You have!, because You were so kind as to share with others your success!, and your creations is very beautifull!!, I congratulate Your artistic imaginations!!, we done!!, good person!! 👍👍👍
Beautiful work
Which resin is best for making table? Epoxy or polyester? Any reasons would be really beneficial 🙏
A low reactivity, slow-curing epoxy resin is best.
this video is nicely done. thanks
Thx for the tutorial
It mighta helped by showing us how to cut the river
What do you mean cut the river? the table is a live edge plank that is sawn down the middle and then flipped, so the live edge is in the centre...
So beatyful and Amazing wood working..i wanna to Practicing to make it..
If you sand the table to such high grit, the oil wont soak in to the wood as well. so i've heard?? whats your take on this?
Hello, sorry for the delayed response. Yes, we normally take the wood to about 300 and the resin to 4000, this way the wood will still take the oil.
Amazing table ! Where do u get your metal legs and next time can u do a complete project including the installation of the legs.
The legs are just bolted on, they were made by a metal fabricator
Sir can you please tell that what you applied on the edges of the wood before appling resin on the table
Thats exactly whag i said as well. Its amazing
We sealed the edges with another of our resins "TotalCast" we did this as it dries more quickly and we wanted to pour the next day - DeepCast can also be used for this just wait 24-36 hours
Truly beautiful
that is stunning
Thank You For Wood Resin👌
WOW!!! Great!!! Thx!
awesome! :) beautiful table!
Beautiful video !
This is AMAZING! I am about to start my first epoxy project and this was VERY helpful. Are there temperature parameters for the epoxy to cure properly? For example, right now my garage will be 38c during the day. Is that too hot for the epoxy to cure properly?
Hi Brande, at 38C the resin will cure a lot faster and cause exotherm release. Therefore you need to lower the mixed to 5 litres or less, or work at night when its cooler.
Very fantastic...beautiful
Really amazing video! , very detailed, nice work 👍🏻, also let me know what did you use to remove the work from the mold easily.
Красота! Хорошее видео! Все объясняешь. Жаль что не на русском.
Hi very informative video thanks for sharing. What was the release agent used on the melamine wood between that and the project, thanks
Hi Paul, the release agent used is called Mirror Glaze - buff it on, leave it 5 minutes and then buff it off.
How sturdy will those tables be? How much weight can you put on them?
This depends on the weight of wood and area of bonding between wood and resin, there is not standard rule of thumb.
i love your work.
fabulous! what a great explanatory video. Looking forward to viewing your work in my new subscription. God Bless
Beautiful piece
What do you do on the underside of the table?
Love the video. It would be nice if you can leave the items used in the description
There is a list of everything used in the video, watch 8:56 onward
loved it, beautful job!
You suggested making smaller objects. Can you make a video on how to use resins when making a cheese board??
Hi, yes we hope to do this in the future :0)
What finish did you use for the wood? Tung oil? Would using an oil-based varnish damage the resin?
We used Poly-x oil... oil based varnishes work fine and wont damage the cured resin.
Master piece！
Curious what the cost for the epoxy to make this table was.
Hello - this table took 5.8L of Deep Cast. We have a 7.5L kit at a cost of £149.40 so the pro-rata cost for this table is £115.54
Thanks
Super product 👍👍
Amazing!
The only thing that’s not clear is: How much was the time lapse between the first and the second pour?
We advise waiting 2-3 days between layers.
Hi there sir !
I was wondering, how do you calculate the quantity of coloring you use ? That is the only detail missing for that part imo. Thanks a lot ! that's great work you're doing. I appreciate the patience you have there.
Hi - we don't have a calculation for colour addition, it's very much done by eye, add a few drops, give it a stir and see if you want the colour stronger. start small as you can always add more but can't take it out
The final finish makes the wood too dark for my taste. What would you recommend to make it look brighter pls? Also, how do you keep it clean etc?
Some river rocks in the middle will make it look more like a real river, and maybe more cool, but its already awesome
Nicely done sir....excellent work!!!!
Thank you kindly!
Daaaaaaaang! Now THAT'S a radial arm saw! So, am I correct in converting your formula to Imperical of: (Yard's X Yard's X Inches = Gallons)? Very good video! Easy to follow. Big Thumbs up! Love the Big Bearded guy!
Your calculation sounds, right, but I'd be lying if I said it was definitely correct, as we don't use Yards, Inches & Gallons. Sorry.
Good job
HI ELI
how are doing
realy you did avery good job at that river table
2 quick question please
total of epoxy is 4.5 L
how much you in the bucket of the resine / hardene
how many bucket do you used
l am sorry my brain is too slow to inderstsnd please l waite for you answer and keep goine for good job
god blesse you
have agood day
What is a rough estimate of cost of materials for this project? And how much time does it take? Thank you great video. Very clear instructions like everyone has said.
Hi - it's hard to put a cost on the wood, as it really varies depending on your local stockists, this was elm, so wasn't hugely expensive, but it's worth speaking to your local sawmill for costs.
The resin used in the video was 5.8L - we have a 7.5L kit available for £149.40
Thanks
Great job i like it
In addition to sealing along the wood that was gonna be exposed to the river resin, did you leave the of the wood as-is or did you apply something to it like a clear coat of resin?
Hi, no we applied nothing to either top or bottom face the wood, only sealed the live edge, as the other two faces are left uncoated and just sanded and oiled.
@@EliChemResinsUKLtd Okay nice! Thank you so much for the input!
