As an *old* cabinetmaker and carpenter, it has been a real pleasure to watch you grow your skills and become such an accomplished woodworker over all these years Drew. Just wish I had a neighbor with such a good stockpile of material :^)
Love the desk. I made one similar a couple years ago from a walnut slab with the crotch at one end. Awesome job. Keep up the great content and woodworking too. Ty
CNC bowties are great. YOU CAN ALSO, make router templates on the CNC. They work great with pattern bits and if you use rounded corners on the bowties, it adds a unique look and is even easier...zero chisel work. Love your content.
@@FishersShop I’ve made them in many shapes before. Like a peanut shape works well…and like actual butterfly wings. I did one with rounded bow ties with hole in the ends and then carved the hole on the CNC as well. Basically like an inlay.
What a fun project! As I watch this video, my rotary CNC is plugging away on a marathon 3D carve (yes I am using a "skinny jenny" 1/16 tapered ball nose from Cody at Cadence Manufacturing). If everything turns out, there might be a RUclips short showing a timelapse of the carve.
That turned out AWESOME and will be so useful for your podcast and video work!!! I love how the sign turned out and the desk is absolutely stunning! It never occurred to me that the hot glue would melt when sanded so glad you pointed that out. I follow another RUclips channel that uses a lot of resin and he always uses silicon with a caulking gun to make a dam around his pours. Then he just peels the strips of silicon up by hand afterward. GREAT job.....the finished room is SO nice and thanks for your humor. It always gives me a good laugh!
Yeah, I was hoping to avoid the long wait for the silicone to set up. I wanted to keep on working but in hindsight, I should have gone the silicone route.
It all turned out great, Drew. I was waiting to see what your neighbor would "contribute ". Seeing that mechanism to get in there, has your wife ever thought about locking you in there? Bill
Cracking job on the room Drew and that table wow does that grain pop, looking at all those lines you will start going crazy and seeing some faces in it (pareidolia)😵💫😵💫🤣🤣 Take Care and Stay Safe, Barry (ENG)
Nice! If you want to dampen the reflections a little more, some fabric-covered 2x4 panels of Roxul Rockboard 60 against walls forming 90-degree angles works well. The structure of the material allows it to absorb frequencies below what foam can do. My room was an echo chamber before using it.
What a beautiful table Drew and quite a steep learning curve with the epoxy! Gorgeous lump of qood though. So glad you told us the name of the podcast, it was driving me nuts wondering what the letters were in that logo, just a wonderful revelation when you said it out loud. Now I need to find the time to check it out. 👍
Yep, I've lost two Rockler Bench Cookies to epoxy leaks as well. Since then I've been using a 4x8' piece of pegboard to protect the floor, and I always check and adjust my workpiece for level before each pour.
I just love the desk and the sign. I haven't got to the cnc side of doing it yet. I am working with a laser engraver and many other tools in the shop. Thank you for sharing your video and experiences with us.
Hola!🖐S P E C T A C U L A R! That desk looks amazing and that's a really cool room you got there. I really enjoyed that disco music during that pour.🕺I see that chair in your office has some miles on it, look into an X-Chair. Pricy but well worth it. I have a bad back and ever since I've gotten one, it has definitely helped. I'm sure your round edges will fit nicely in one of those chairs :D Take care and have a good one, Adios! 👊
I'm so stealing your illuminated sign idea like you steal your neighbor's kitchen table legs! :D Brilliant Drew! When I saw this pop up the child inside of me said, "Holy Crapskies! It's another Drew video!" Sssh.. don't tell my boss! :-P
Next time you are drilling in copper, try using low speed (300- 400rpm) on a flex shaft. It worked for me drilling 90 holes through copper and only breaking 4 drills. I also used cutting oil. The flex shaft allows you better feal of the drill bit.
I noticed a shadow light on your bosch miter saw. Care to share the jig since that saw does not come with light? You use it so I assume it does the job. Thanks in advance. As always great video. Witty and informative at the same time. 👍
In addition to my woodworking, I narrate audiobooks. In my small home recording studio, I used those 12x12 foam squares in a checkerboard pattern, leaving every other square blank. It still deadened the sound perfectly, and it saved me half the cost and time of covering the walls completely. (Guess I'm a little late with this tip, huh?)
Yeah, I knew I wouldn't have to completely cover the walls but I wanted to go for the look of a padded room of an insane asylum so that I could get used to it for when my wife commits me.
Super entertaining video! Since the change it sounds like your audio quality doesn't sound as crisp as it did before on this video and on the podcast since the change, sounds very muted and chocked wonder if others notice this.
Nice! How do you get air in? Floor vents? Might a plasma screen mimicking a window make it less claustrophobic? Also a great room if you ever take up murdering as a hobby. 😊
There's no air vents in there. Fighting the noise of the heating/cooling registers was something I battled with already so I'm glad there's none in that room. And my murder room is elsewhere in the house. :) Thanks for watching!
Nice project, but *I* got that slab from them, and you "borrowed" it saying something along the lines of "Hey, that's a bad slab, let me take that off your hands"....you still owe me Drew...great episode. I really need to get into the shop...but I get anxiety every single time I go down there. Why? Well...have you ever seen 'hoarders'? Yea...we have my wife's old house down there (90% of which has been there for 20 years with ZERO use), and her mom's house (again, 'memories' that haven't been looked at since dragging them down there a few years ago). My shop isn't a shop...it's a panic attack in a basement. :( BTW: For East Sider's near the Detroit area, another great place for lumber (not sure about slabs) is Public Lumber on 7-Mile and I-75. Not a great 'area' to be sure, but it was the only place I found that I can get Teak, Hemlock, Purple Heart, etc. in LARGE quantities if needed.
Good video, Drew. I like the hidden room and your new sign and desk look great. Just curious, did you make that room with the door opening in so that your wife can't barricade you in from the outside?
Hey Drew, great video! Question about that finish. How many coats do you put and how long does it take to dry/cure? And would you prefer it over arm r seal? Thanks!
I put on 2-3 coats and it takes like 24 hours to start and more days to fully cure but I like the matte finish it leaves and it’s super easy to touch up in the future.
Wait... so now you have a sound proof hidden room? Doesn't at all seem like something on a TV show where the police would find a hostage or something 😜
@@FishersShop I like your humor. :) well I just think you invest so much time creating cool stuff but then go short on stuff you can't build (like to good office chair). I see the chair works for you now... but the holes in the chair caught my eyes first when I saw your final result. and they kind of lower your great work... maybe worth thinking about changing...
As an *old* cabinetmaker and carpenter, it has been a real pleasure to watch you grow your skills and become such an accomplished woodworker over all these years Drew.

Hey thanks, I appreciate that! It's been fun challenging myself
What a nice transformation! I'll bet you'll use that room a lot more now
A ton more! Thanks for watching, Zach
The sound of the sped up tapping is so mesmerizing
Haha, yup... years ago that's what was my favorite thing in Matthias Wandel's videos. His high-speed hammering.
The difference in audio was immediately apparent. What a brilliant office space, I'm so jealous! I hope you are well Drew 😀
Thanks a bunch! Yup, I'm doing well and loving the new studio
Bet me to the punch man. Sounds soo good

Hah, hopefully she doesn't see your comment otherwise she just might!
I love the lighted sign and desktop, but death to hairpin legs. 😐
The voiceover sounded excellent, the sound dampening really did its job. 👍
Thanks!
Now you need an " ON AIR " sign on the bookcase/door outside of the studio that you can turn on when your doing your podcast .
Hah, I just might have to do that.
Drew another great video beautiful desk and sign. I’ll be checking out your podcast
Thanks Jim! I hope you enjoy the show!
thankyou for the lessons learned on the "hot glue" i was always curious why people don't use it for more applications

Even with the problems you had w/the epoxy, the table/desk top turned out nicely. Good finish too. Great job.
Thanks, Anthony
Well, Drew, all you need to do now is build an executive chair to replace that old desk chair in your secret lair/recording studio
Yep, I've lost two Rockler Bench Cookies to epoxy leaks as well. Since then I've been using a 4x8' piece of pegboard to protect the floor, and I always check and adjust my workpiece for level before each pour.
Now you need to accessorize it with the necessities. Like a beverage cooler, microwave, and wide screen tv. And don’t forget the recliner.
I'm in complete agreement with this.
That room came out great. I feel like we got two for one in this. Thanks for sharing.
You bet! Thanks for watching
Wait…. You have a weekly podcast?!?😮. Why don’t I know this?!? Illl definitely listen
Awesome! Hope you enjoy it!

Drew, you have blessed talent for voice work. Great work too. i always enjoy it.
Thanks a bunch!
Isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol will help loosen the hot glue next time =)
Very nice work. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching
I always use clear silicone in place of where you used hot glue.
nice build!
Thanks!
A tip to release hot glue is isopropyl alcohol, once you do that it will release and you can peel it off.
Thanks!
@@FishersShop you are very welcome
You are low-key funny. It's great. :)
Weird how you didn't get any lumber from your neighbors garage for this project. I guess he was running low... Nice job as usual!
Isopropyl alcohol is your best friend when removing hotglue

For heavy epoxy removal, use a heat gun on a low setting. It will soften the epoxy and the hot glue and scraping it off is sooooo much easier.
Next time you are drilling in copper, try using low speed (300- 400rpm) on a flex shaft. It worked for me drilling 90 holes through copper and only breaking 4 drills. I also used cutting oil. The flex shaft allows you better feal of the drill bit.
When was I ever drilling in copper? 😶
7:25 that might turn out to be a completely new sort of lifestyle!
Awesome "Hidden room" Drew, the audio was always good, but now maybe even better?
Thanks! I appreciate that
I love the sign you made! Would love to do something similar for my logo and shop. Great video with some great humor as always!
Thanks, Chris
It was really considerate of your neighbor to pack the screws for the table legs you stole from him into plastic bags for you. 😉😂
So kind of him
Just sharing here. For the bottom of the desktop, instead of putting boards, you can put a tape on they make for sealing any holes.
I used tape initially and that's what leaked. The larger voids needed the boards
I noticed a shadow light on your bosch miter saw. Care to share the jig since that saw does not come with light? You use it so I assume it does the job. Thanks in advance. As always great video. Witty and informative at the same time. 👍

Yeah, I'm still working out the kinks with the new gear
Splash a little isopropyl alcohol on the hot glue, let it sit for a minute or so and then it should peel right off.
Spencley Design Co uses hot glue for resin pour dams, might want to check him out.
Next time for a berm around an epoxy pour, try using silicone caulk. Shouldn't bond to the epoxy
Yup… just takes time to set up. I was hoping to skip the wait
Dude! Sweet!

Uh oh, we're going to lose him to the allure of epoxied slab tables. Seriously, though, the table is beautiful!
Thanks! And there's ZERO risk of losing me to epoxy. lol. Frankly, I did not really enjoy the epoxy part of the project.
Nice project, but *I* got that slab from them, and you "borrowed" it saying something along the lines of "Hey, that's a bad slab, let me take that off your hands"....you still owe me Drew...great episode.

Maaaaaybe
isopropyl alcohol makes hot glue release
What grits did you use with the micro mesh pads? Nice table! Turned out great. That is a nice sized piece of Honey Locus too!!
They have their own grit system and I went through every single one. 1500 through 12000
What ever happened at 2:30 made be very nervous. I hope that wasn't as dangerous as it looked. Otherwise pretty cool.
I didn't have the side support wing lifted up so once the cut went through, the board tipped up. No biggie, happens all the time.
Drew your example of “if you knew what you were doing”, is brilliant, if anybody’s ever worked with Epoxy, we’ve all been there.
I don't know... I've not managed to epoxy a bench cookie to my work piece yet. That takes a special kinda maker like Drew 🤣😅

It's the absolute best CNC machine for the size and price. There's just no comparison
