My River Table went Viral (Because I did it wrong)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 окт 2021
- I made a River Table using real flowing water. Apparently this is not standard practice in the world of River Tables as I eventually learnt because it turns out that River Tables are infact made from Epoxy. I wish someone would have told me sooner.

Before you ask. Yes, I do plan on putting gravy in this. What would you put through this table if you had the chance? 🤔
Whisky. Best party ever!
A squash ball to see if it would shoot out the other end
a light under the river to also see water gliding on the ceiling
Being so close to Hershey, one could have a chocolate river.
phone charger ....prepper for more calls ..
I think this might be the ONLY river table build I actually liked. You can play Pooh Sticks!
Yes!!! 😂 I’ll make that a priority this week.
Hey random verified user I had no idea anyone still knew what pooh sticks was, I'm glad you brought back the memories.
Liziqi made a river table i really liked with a circulating river around a center piece that she used to float appetizers during a dinner party was seriously cool worth checking out....i think she used cement tho lol
Dude, I see you all over the place and I'm starting to think that because I Binged your videos for like 3 weeks straight, YT must think anything you watch must be something I would watch.
Anyway, I enjoy your videos even the non-scambait ones.
@@MattEstlea it needs a bridge!!!!!!! But deffo my favourite river build I have ever watched and I have seen a lot lol deffo would love to give this a go for myself!!
The first half of the ruclips.net/user/postUgkx3ICSK6nSknaL_45CU2NmFSoXjarGMDiJ book is everything about wood: types, tools, finishes, setting up shop etc. The second half is all about doing projects for inside and outside of the home. The color pictures are helpful. After reading a dozen of these types of books, this is probably the best overall (layout, color photos, plans). Only detraction is that many of the projects use a table saw/router/planer, which are usually expensive and take up space, so the plans are less friendly to newcomers and the budget conscious. But I know I can use a drill, circular saw or a jigsaw to make the projects.
Honestly jokes on the river table community. They make figurative river tables, making it look like a river. You make a literal river table which is clearly harder and cooler than a normal river table.
This is the only river table design I want to have if I were to have one
I saw this video and thought "finally"
This table makes me want to make a proper fish tank river table
@@lolzasouruhm179 oh gods.
@@lolzasouruhm179 With live catfish, so you can just sweep your table scraps into the center of the table. Hehe, or those fish that clean sharks and whales, then you can just drop your dirty dishes in the tank and they'll be spotless for your next meal.
You betooled chaos gremlin, this is absolutely PHENOMENAL. Not only is the entire concept beautifully unhinged, but the cinematography looks exactly the way being in the shop with too much addy and Red Bull and not enough sleep feels. It’s Avant-garde fuckery and I’m HERE for it. Love the story telling, love the River table.
Love this comment
surely this is one of the most relatable comments I have seen.
It’s ok I guess
I just spit my beer out laughing…
Do you get an appearance credit,supporting actor?
Looking forward to see Matt fly over to collaborate in Matt's workshop. It'd be great to see two of the best get together and make something.
Lmao
🤣
The brutal honesty to showing all the hilarious mistakes you've made just earned you another subscriber, even though this is the first thing I've watched from you. Please continue to be awesome.
Totally agree
I took the exact same approach as you and this another subscriber is born :)
Well that makes three of us new subscribers on the back of this video
That makes four of us
Definitely makes six got my lady friend inspired by this video to make her own
Hell yeah. Can add another to the tally here
As someone with cats, I very much want a river table like this 🤣. World's most expensive cat fountain. They'd love it.
Just be sure to use food safe resin. I think that would be an amazing idea, my cats refuse to drink still water!
Mhm cats on the table where you may eat not soo hygienic I know cats are clean animals but they walk an the floor like we do and out feet aren't supposed to be on the table because of hygiene and therefore respect
@@TheLtVoss Cats will wind up on your table one way or the other if they want to be. If they're not on the table while you're watching, they're on the table when you're not.
If you own cats, it's always best practice to wipe down your eating surfaces before you use them, because there's no way to guarantee your cats haven't been up there.
I just let them go where they will and make sure to clean any surface before I use it.
Edited for typo
@@deongeiss12 my cats prefer water from an outside fountain, but only after it has turned green.
This should win the award for woodworking video of the year. It’s great to see something that I’m sure started out as a joke over a pint and turned into something absolutely stunning.
He fkd up loads
@@a3kid but somehow it made it😂
@@a3kid hater. Go watch something else.
This was a great blend of comedy and legitimate woodworking. The table looks amazing! Great job Matt!! Hoping this goes viral for you!
Thank you!
This is legitimately way cooler than any other "river" table I've ever seen and I'd much rather have this than a fake river table
Me personally i would have put a glass top over it so the entire table could still be used but over all very cool build
Glass would be easy solution. Crystal clear Epoxy would be awesome
@@guyod1 I feel like putting glass would be better because you don't have to make it permanent and glass doesn't scratch as easily as epoxy. The reason I mentioned the glass not being permanent is because the table uses real water which most likely has minerals and other things in it causing hard water deposits which will be a lot harder to clean if you put a big thing of epoxy permanently over it.
@@Letfordlay I hear ya. Its functional. But tacky. Could use distilled water.
@@Letfordlay Also, it probably a lot more fun to use and look at in this state, but more practical with glass over it. So it could just have glass set over top when needed?
You'll have to consider condensation and the effects maybe somthing other then water
"How to be as cool as Jonathan Katz-Moses" will never get old 😀😀😀 Thanks for letting me give you a thrashing (gents/ladies). xoxoxoxo
Your performance was outstanding and I loved that you broke the 4th wall continously by looking at the cam the whole time XD
We all need goals.
"You've lost the plot, you daft plonker" got me!
Your hair looked good though 👍🏻
@@christophermckinney984 I mean, the sun always rises each day, right? 😉
Damn dude. Taking this content creation to the next level. Impressed.
Really enjoyed this one, great to see mistakes and the way you deal with problems. Not medieval of course, but I watch a load of craft type videos and your work is very entertaining and educational!
I always wanted to see a river table with actual flowing water. Now I want one.
Finally a river table worthy of the name, outstanding.
Just wanted to pop in and say not only does Matt have a unique vision for videos, he's also a determined, patient, and gracious woodworker. It was an absolute slog of a project at times, but the man's perseverance seemingly never waivers. And what an awesome edit!!
Are you in the video?
@@CeeJayThe13th that’s me!
@@saramulry neat! Nice work!
@@saramulry , such a real effort by everyone. So impressive.
I think your take on this is way more creative even with the challenges of combining water plumbing with woodworking. No one is going to make a better river table than that one.
You should add a couple of holes for potted Bonsai trees, the combination of tranquil water flow, river bed, living and seasoned wood would be a stunning center piece for any room!
Bonsai forest river table, lighting would be an issue, other than that it would make a beautiful center piece....hmm I might try this... Thanks.
This would have been an amazing project just in concept alone. The fact that you added the comedic elements really took it to the next level. It was great to see the mistakes and the revisions too. All around great job. Hope it hits the viral button for you Matt.
This is becoming one of the most entertaining woodworking channels lol, that intro was amazing
Appreciate it Erk! Thank you
Its perfect! If i could afford to have a gigantic custom made table this would definitely be the one I'd go for. Definitely deserves to go viral.
bro, EASILY THE GREATEST RIVER TABLE IVE SEEN ON RUclips! LOVE YOUR CONTENT, YOU'VE REALLY HELPED ME ENHANCE MY WOOD WORKING! ILL BE SHARING THIS ON MY IG FOR SURE! Also love the video work and scripted content✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
I love how the Bourbon Moth theme song is playing while you’re making a river table…. We all know how much Jason loves river tables!! Lol
He also loooves sanding.....lol.
Oh, nice Easter egg! Didn't notice it before.
Exactly what I came here to comment. "He's making fun of Jason hating river tables! Sweet!" Also? Jason needs to just buy the rights to that song
I was thinking the exact same thing!! 😅
I'm sure it's a Kevin McCloud song but to me it's the Bourbon Moth theme so it had me tripping for a second.
I absolutely love the cameos - what a wonderful community of creators.
This video deserves 1 million views! Positively epic, mate!!!
This is by far the coolest river table I have ever seen and this video is criminally under viewed. I just got it recommended to me so hopefully that means a lot more people will have it recommended.
This was one of the most entertaining woodworking videos I have seen in years. Yes, we learned some things, as I suspect most woodworkers are looking to accomplish watching these videos, but the pure entertainment of the story, the comedy, the cameos, and the fantastic result, brought the viewers an experience rarely seen in the woodworking community. As much of a joke as you were making about the need to go viral, this truly deserves to. You have set the bar high Matt. Great Job!
That looks absolutely fantastic!
agreed .. fantastic table.. i love it!
never expected to see you here nordern! cool!
I’m so glad I found you, this is the first video I’ve seen from you and it’s dyne definition of perfection!
Well I guess it worked, I haven't seen you pop in my feed for the longest time, and here I am watching that whole thing, congrats!
This would be perfect for my cats and dog! They love drinking from moving water. Cracking good job on this build. Also as a very novice wood working I really appreciate seeing pros make mistakes. It helps me remember that being good isn't the absence of mistakes but the skills to fix them.
That's a great shout! Cheers Ryan :)
It sure was comforting to watch someone else struggle, sometimes I feel like it's just me that's always shooting themselves in the foot. The important part is where you are at the end, not how many times you cursed in the middle. Great job, Matt.
Great production all around. Thoroughly entertaining. This is the first video of yours that I've come across and it definitely earned a sub! Thanks
Just discovered this channel and this has got to be the most entertaining wood working video I’ve ever seen.
Faaaaaantastic! This one cracked me up! Love to see all the hard work and headaches paid off. Nowadays we see videos and forget all the stuff that goes behind. Super happy for you and really hope this goes as viral as you deserve. Hat off to you!!
Thank you for this video Matt.
It means so much to see people admitting that a project didn't go smoothly. That mistakes were made.
So much of woodwork is correcting things that went wrong.
Just because something has gone wrong, it doesn't mean that you are bad at this. These things happen. You find ways to fix it and move on.
(Also, you are right. River tables have water in them)
Glad to see you having tons of fun with your videos again! As always, great content and a pleasure to watch.
Haven't watched Matt for a while. This one was special. Thanks, Matt!
Absolutely amazing, and the first river table I have ever seen that I would actually love to have in my house!
You gotta get it in first, ITS SO HEAVY! Thank you though, means a lot!
Same. Can't stand river tables but this one is just too brilliant.
Now finally an actual river table! I've been saying for ages it would be soo awesome if someone did this!
Your workflow speaks to my soul
First time viewer- immediate subscriber! Absolutely gorgeous table and knowing the amount of work that this entailed just blows me away.
Great job Matt (and Sarah) fantastic piece. you may even win over some of the river table haters. you certainly have me. Great to have you back
This is beautiful, and you consistently make me laugh. This video deserves to go viral.
Glad you enjoyed it Nickolas!
This is the best and coolest river table I have ever seen! I love it!
It seems like the algorithm has finally picked up on this amazing video. Just got it on my home page and I rarely watch woodworking videos. And I gotta say that is one banging end product. Looks absolutely stunning.
You can p155 the River Table community off even more by adding a few rocks just under the surface to make the flow more organic - like a real river table would be...
Nice project, enjoyed the production. Worth waiting for!
Omg!! I regret not watching this the second it came out! I love river tables, I love YOUR river table! The cameos were awesome, your editing is fantastic, and the commentary and phone gags are hilarious!!
You absolutely crushed this project Matt! Keep it up brother!
Thank you so much!
This was epic! The process, the "flow", and the edit.. and not to mention the cameos! Loved every bit of it! Amazing result!
Easily the best river table I've seen, great work!
Glad to see you back, Matt! Amazingly funny video and very well put together. My body aches at the amount of work I know you put into making this work of art. You are awesome!
Thank you! Really means alot!
For all the work, problems and disappointment involved, it looks great!
My god! I added this video to my Watch Later playlist and it sat there for quite a while. Man do I regret sleeping on this! You sir are amazing! This video was a complete ride from start to end. Your amazing use of voice over and montage struck the most perfect balance of pacing I have ever witnessed in a maker video. Not too long and descriptive to be boring but also not skipping so much that you gloss over what really happened. To maintain this pacing while also weaving a humorous narrative throughout the entire video without being "pandering" leaves me awe struck. You get my subscription and I will definitely be checking out more of your content!
Hands down the best woodworking video of 2021, oh and the table is pretty nice too. Fantastic job!
Matt, what an absolutely beautiful table. The production on this video was brilliant and the end product was the perfect cherry on top of a delicious cake. Hats off to you. This video was worth waiting for, for sure. Well done sir.
Appreciate it Adam, thank you!
I don't even have words. This was SO entertaining! And the project is pretty cool, too.
This is hands down my favourite wood working video on youtube. Thanks man, this was clearly an insane amount of work
Finally somebody that knows how to make a river table!
This is so cool. I've always thought "river tables" were dumb, but I would genuinely want this in my home. I love this build, and this definitely is worth subscribing for❤
Great video Matt! Can't wait for the next project!
Honestly this is the best thing I've watched this whole year, it was clearly a tremendous effort.
This was so great man, had me cracking up but also enjoying the work!
Here Matt, have a comment for the algorithm. This build is spectacular, and I like how you've managed to change up your content for the better. Lets hope it goes viral - truly one of a kind this project.
Mind-blowing!
You pulled it off and I love it! Well worth the 4 month wait for a video ♥️
Thank you Chris!
That is a phenomenal project well done for doing a great job and overcoming all the issues that came with it.
Amazing results, love it
wow!! what a video!!! Great to see you making so many mistakes and needing the brains of the outfit to fly in and sort it for you!! the cameos from the boys over the pond!! those acting lessons you've been doing over the last few months have really paid off!! do bafta do a RUclips award!!?? looks stunning!! (can think of a couple of improvements but still looks amazing) bravo 👏
This is freaking awesome Matt, totally deserves to go viral 👏
IT BLOODY BETTER DO AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE IVE JUST HAD
1) amazing project !
2) the angle for the presentation of it
Priceless !
What an amazing build.. Your content/ideas/work is amazing and an absolute pleasure to watch.. Nice one..
I'm happy to see that someone finally made something like this. I've been wanting to make one for a decade, but I don't have a workshop. :(
I definitely would have inlaid a clear plastic or glass cover over the river, but it looks good!
This is just outright ridiculous Matt, great fkin job! o.o
Thank you mate! I'd love to say it was a fun one, but nope!
Can you calculate the Curl of the water stream? That would be an interesting video?
Just bloody next level creator-ing, what a stunning build. Hats off! 👏👏👏
HECK YEAH BEST TABLE EVER! I've always been a river table fan but you good sir have taken it to the next level!
Great video Matt! Finally back and really liked it. Nice to also see some things from back when you started, like the Google Earth thing, in this new editing style.
Damn! I remember you right from the beginning! Glad you pickup up on it. It's been fun revisiting the roots recently.
@@MattEstlea I think I started following you during the Krenov cabinet? Seen much growth in your presenting, confidence and videos and still watch and like everything you upload.
This is awesome. I love the jokes with the other RUclipsrs. Great job Matt!
Absolutely amazing. Thoroughly enjoyed this video, I thank you 😊
First time I've seen a video from you and it's an instant subscription. I have no idea how people could not bother to subscribe. Awesome build and the only functional river table I've ever seen or heard of. I'd have it no other way. Great job. I know this wasn't easy in any way, and I'm glad you showed how difficult it actually was in the video.
I see so much possibilities: garlic sauce, ketchup, vanilla custard, peanut soup.... and a large bowl with slices of baguette. Great job!
I cant wait to see how it holds up after a year of feasting! please do a throwback / progress video!
That is f*cking amazing. Best Table Ever. I hope this goes properly viral.
This is one of the coolest things i've ever seen
I look forward to seeing more of your vids
Nice to see you back doing what you do best :)
I love this table. I would put a piece of glass of something to cover it with though, just to avoid dropping anything in the water, but the table itself is awesome
nah, let the honey-nut cheerios be swept away by the current to drown in the cold rapids.
😂
Great job Matt and I hope your friend Rob is recouping from his “fall”
It's crazy how I'm discovering random new communities. I don't know a single person in this video. It's awesome
Matt - Awesome job!! I had thought of doing this as well and marketing to the Japanese restaurant market or upscale clients/hotels. To show your mistakes so that others can learn from them is so cool. I have watched your other video's as well and found them very educational and practical. Please continue sharing your talents and humor. Hope you have a healthy and prosperous 2022!!
Absolutely stunning Matt! Well done! After seeing some of your pain on the live stream a while back, it's so great to see the final product!
It's so good to finally get it released. What an utter nightmare this thing was!
Hooray, Matt is finally back!! Great video as always, fantastic table as an extra win 😉 Now, back to work and get those videos flowing again. (see what I did there!) Has Rob recovered yet from his kick in the chest and little fall? 😊
Oh no, he's proper dead now. Cheers Andy!
Love it Matt, simply love it!!!
One of the coolest tables I have ever seen in my life. That's seriously badass
Honestly this is absolutely incredible and I would love to have something like this in my home.
Too bad I’ll likely have the tools (Or the skill) To build this.
eeh you never know mate take a stab at a small table decoration with flowing water and before you know it you'll have those tools!
This would make an awesome gaming table, imagine a dnd campaign with a town on one side and a forest on the other connected via a bridge or a Warhammer age of sigmar battle with a fortress type seige
Looks stunning!!👏👏
I like how your so transparent with the reason you need to make it
There's river tables and then there's Matt river tables...
Uh yeah? Who doesn't want a wooden table water feature in their house? I certainly do.
Okay but like imagine having mini boat races on your river table while you’re eating breakfast.
Hands down one the absolute best rivers i ever seen brilliant work
Love the table, definitely better than anything I've seen. I like the dorkiness but the way you work is simply pleasing to watch even without trying to make it entertaining. You have a very easy to listen to voice and that makes your videos even better to watch. Keep it up man you seem like a pretty cool dude, I hope this avenue works well for you.
