Josh, the table is beyond beautiful! I loved watching the process from start to finish. What an accomplishment!
Thanks! It feels great to see it all together 😄
This turned out beautifully! Your epoxy finish looks like glass. I’m sure the client loved this. Beautiful work!
Thank you! I'm so happy with how it came out and the client loved it as well!
Beautiful table and the lovely classical music was a perfect accompaniment to the video. Congratulations.
Thanks Janet! I thought it was a fitting pair 😊
My God!!! This is a beautiful table.
Thanks Mark! I appreciate that. I’m really happy with how it turned out.
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!
Thanks! I love the way it come out!
Beautiful job, came out really nice, a few anxious moments though huh. That’s the difference between a pro and an amateur, the pro knows how to cover the mistakes.
Thanks! I’m really happy with how it came out
And you’re right, there certainly were a few of those moments 😂 I’ve grown much more comfortable rolling with the mistakes though, it’s easier than I anticipated to fix them.
Nice!❤
Very inspirational!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Top notch job 👌
Thanks Dave!
Very nice
Thanks Vern!
Josh - I'm a new subscriber and this was the second of your many videos I have watched all the way through... very nice table! What brand of Epoxy did you use?
Hey! Glad to have you around! I appreciate your support and compliments. I used Super Clear on this build but found out that it has a lower heat deflection temperature than needed. When my client put a hot cup of coffee on it, it left a “melted” ring. After doing more research, Stone Coat has a much higher heat deflection temperature.
Muy bonita la meza
¡Muchas gracias! Me gusto mucho tambien.
I'm a newbie
I've done some board glueups with stock up to 2 meters. I was wondering if doing a glueups such as the one you illustrate, which features boards touching end grain to endgrain would result in trouble in terms of wood movement.
Is it safe?
Thanks for the question and welcome! I’m still a newbie in a lot of ways, always learning.
It’s possible that there will be expansion and contraction issues but most wood movement is perpendicular to the grain direction so I’d be more concerned about how the bread boards at the end are attached than the end to end boards in the middle.
JKatz Moses has a great write up on wood expansion at the link below:

Beautiful Table. Excellent choice of contrasting colored hardwoods. The only thing I would be slightly worried about would be the breadboard ends... But, you sealed the top and bottom, just not the Straw ends before you domino' and glued them.. It is the only area that is going to be prone to soaking up moisture, but, the epoxy is a strong coating, and a table like that should be in a Climate Controlled office, so, I think you dogged that bullet..
You should use that same design and make a porch table, leave one end unsealed and use Epoxy as the adhesive on the other and see if any problems creep up on either of the breadboard ends. One year outside should be like 25-30 inside..
Rob Cosman built a wood working table of the same design as the one with the shoulder vice in all of his videos, for a friend, and, the dust/tool tray on the far end, when he discuses how he designed it with springs from a ballpoint pen to deal with the expansion/contraction, it really makes you think..
To me, personally, I did some experiments with Treated wood from a local lumber yard (wood under cover) but, you could tell that the 5/4x6" treated deck boards were soaking wet. I was building sides for my dump trailer, so, wanted the treated.. But, then, I treated the treated wood myself "Before assembling the sides". I put about 15 coats of my treatment on it. 7 years later, still looks really nice, and sits under an evergreen tree.. Anyway..
I cut all of the boards to size, then measured the weight, thickness and width and logged them. When I stood them on end, the next morning, they had little puddles under the boards I had cut. I guess like a Christmas tree. Cut it and stick it in water right away, and it will soak up water for days... Cut it, let it sit for a day and it won't soak up any... I guess cutting the ends off, opened the straws and the water seeped out. The board maintained their original dimensions (length was constant, but, thickness=varied enough to begin with, you could not tell for sure), but the width reduction was quite noticeable.
Some reduced in width 1/4". From 5-1/2 to 5-1/4".
I had the opposite effect also on a door I made with 5/4 treated deck boards that I had stored, so, were dry when I built the door. Put it on my pump filter house that heat in the winter and store my glues/paints, etc, when not using them. The door was tight, and covered inside with 3/4" insulation, so, I noticed the swelling, the first time I opened the door after building. About 3 days of rain. I had gave it a good coat of UV Stable Urethane on the top(exterior) and bottom(inside the filter shed), but, paid no attention to sealing the end grains of the boards. So, when it dried out a bit, all I did was put a heavy coat of the same urethane on the ends of the boards (which were cut and end grain open), but ONLY at the top of the door. (Protected under a 6" overhang), to let the wood breathe until it reduced back to the width I had finished it at. It was still too wide at that point and was binding, but, I did not want to shave it down yet. Figured it would shrink again, if I left one end open.. It did.
I tested the door several times over the next month. Once it shrank, it got a little snug once after another 3 days of rain, but, nothing like before.. So, after a good long spell in May/June, door about as loose fitting as I had seen it, I put several coats on the bottom of the door end grain of the boards. Since I have done that, no matter how much rain we have gotten, the door does not seem to have changed at all.
So. My theory from that and those experiences,, including the testing of the board for the dump trailer.. If I am working with dry wood, once I do the dimension cuts (length cuts), if nothing else, I put some glue on my finger and give it a good soaking to plug up the ends of the straws. Usually several times, until I figure I have surely got them covered. But, I have been busy and not able to build much with wood, so, have not tested it further. But, I bought some 5 minute 2 part epoxy that I am going to use when I do build an outdoor project, to finish my testing. Since then, I did some finish work, and, for the first time, used a shooting board and plane to square the ends of a few boards.. Wow, does End grain/tear out take on a new meaning.. Talk about smooth the end grain..Wow!! So, if using a plane, and glue, I might be happy with that.
I do have a video I did when I finished the sides on my dump trailer, and another on treating the boards on the trailer, and they are both holding up extremely well.
I think I have one on the filterhouse as well. I did not do one on the 5/4x6" treated boards. My video posting has been limited to what I can record at one shot and upload, although I did a little editing here and there when a wild hair made me do it. I bet I have 50 very interesting projects that ended up with 2 or more videos that need to be edited before posting. One day, when I get to my new shop/warehouse, I will have to edit and post them. Especially the one where I took an old swaybacked, mushroomed Peter Wright Anvil and put a new face on it, then, heated the mass up and did a steam quench on it. Several smiths said I could not do it... Ha.. That meant, that project went on the front burner.. Ha..Ha.. Turned out about like your table.. Incredible. Take care and cheers!
Lots of good points. Moisture absorption and wood motion is a tricky game. I'm still working to get it all tuned in for my projects.
