I usually don't comment on videos but this is one of the most well designed and cohesive pieces I've seen on the channel!! Slightly elevating the shuffle board in the form (to give it a floating look) and adding some under lighting would be next level. Well done!
That is beautiful!!! I really like the appearance of the pigment in the resin and it goes well with the dark wood!! I would never be able to play on that table for fear of scratching the finish. I would just have to look at it fore a few years then maybe....just maybe!!!
I hit like. This is of course a comment and I’ve subscribed for years. Amazing piece of work. Have you thought about doing a pool table? Poured resin cue sticks?
Thank you Scott! Yeah I can see you've been subscribed for 4 years! That's so awesome, thank you for all your support! Both of those are cool ideas, we would love to do either!
Hi BFW Co, I like, Great Looking 👀 project, nice to see you using finger joint to glue your boards up, give them more strength, gluing area, I started using these methods back in the late 80s, early 90s, and they do a larger finger joint version for doing end grain, and 45 degree mitre joint with a finger joint set into it,
Absolutely Beautiful! I'm wondering if you made a fitted protective cover for when it's not in use? To protect it from spilled drinks and other possible damage, from stacking on top of it.
BEAUTIFUL! Nice work as usual! I'd almost hate to play on that surface! 😅 thanks for sharing your amazing talents! By the way, I did not hear what length you made the playing surface. 9', 12' or 14' ?
@johnnyho900 I do believe it depends on where it's going to fit. Since a regulation playing surface is 22 feet, which is huge! Most private game room purchases are most likely going into a room that's not fit for regulation sized tables. Nor is it necessary.
Black Forest Wood Co. does it again. I really like how it turned out. The blue really compliments the brown of the table without being to pushy, Great job again. Your videos never disappoint. Do you build this type of table using a special template your company created or the top of the designers head? Say hi for Charlie.
I'm a subscriber and woodworker and lover of table shuffleboard and most things you guys do. As I watched you sand through 4000 grit I couldn't help but wonder what happens when you start sliding metal pucks all over this surface, even with sand and/or wax on top.
Like any shuffleboard it’ll get some scratches overtime. We supply our client with some extra ceramic coating so they can maintain and repair small scratches.
Amazing work and craftsmanship as usual. Any concerns about many scratches on the surface since this piece is going to used for sliding discs on it back and forth?
Very good again....I hope people see how much work in these tables... You make it look easy but I know it’s hard work a very tense sometimes... Thanks for this... Where is the OVERSEER...
@@BlackForestWoodCo haaaaa...I just got to new little puppy dachshunds ...one reminds me of Charlie....I should have named him Charlie.. I did not think I would go through children again but here we are...they are a handful...
@@BlackForestWoodCo Brother and Sister...Big brother and half size girl.. The boy is Foxy and the girl is Mini because she is half the size of her brother..8 weeks old and they are a handful... I am supposed to be in my shed working but it’s hard to leave them...I am exhausted... Hopefully soon they will be Charlie just overseeing not getting into everything..
I was wondering why you didn't put any padding at the end. Or felt on the sides. So when the pucks(?) slide off, they don't damage the beautiful wood. Just curious. Beautiful work btw.
Mostly just becuase of our tooling available. If we did one piece we would’ve likely had to use a metal CNC whereas with this option we cut everything on our conventional machinery.
The reason your other one warped was because you had a difference in moisture permeability between the top and bottom layer. That allowed more moisture into the bottom, resulting in more expansion and an upward bow. You will see the same thing with engineered wood floors that dont have a "balance layer" on the bottom. That said, Epoxy is still hygroscopic (it will absorb moisture from the air), it's just less-so than wood. The key is balancing both side of the slab to have roughly the same permeability.
I love me some table shuffleboard. When I watched them sanding this through 4000 grit my brain was shouting "they're going to dump sand/wax on this and then slide metal pucks all over it!"
It’s unfortunately bound to happen if they plan on using the piece. It’s no different than the amount of scratches on any other shuffle board, just more painful to see happen 😂
Just out of curiosity, does the surface ever need to be re-polished or surfaced? My thought process is that you're playing with sand usually. And with it being sand, the surface might get a ton of micro-scratches. Am I correct in this thinking?
I feel like the epoxy is going to crack around those brass in lays during the expansion and contraction as the metal moves differently than the wood. Hopefully it doesn’t
Another beautiful piece, they must really love playing that game 👍 I was quite surprised at the final finish on the resin, yes it looks fantastic, but the light should have been giving a perfect reflection after all those stages of polishing ... it almost looks like fine orange peel 🤔
We were kind of in a rush to get this one shipped out. The final videos were taken after the final high gloss spray but before our polishing. You’re definitely seeing some orange peel in the video. We took it all out before we shipped it!
Hmmm youre glueing the brass strips in across the grain, how does that not cause major warping? Pls explain Also in all your videos i notice how you guys move tour orbital sanders extremely fast In my opinion that would cause major swirl marks, generally it is recommended to move at 1" per second, how do you avoid swirl marks at your speed?
As someone who has no idea about woodworking, can someone ELI5 why you have to go through so many grits in order when sanding something? What's the difference if you just use the highest grit directly?
But won’t the sand from playing shuffle board scratch the heck out of the epoxy and be obvious?? I think that’s why they are usually just oiled butcher blocks essentially
Looks awesome, but perhaps my expectations were too high... You charge extra for the highly polished finish... but end up with that much orange peel? Maybe it's not possible in resin

That looks amazing. Shouldnt a shuffleboard be warped towards the middle (i.e. lower in the center, compared to the outside edges?)
The piece does concave ever so slightly to the middle. We used shims underneath to create uneven pressure when mounting the playing surface down.
@@BlackForestWoodCo I was wondering how one would manage to do that. Thank you for the explanation.
That’s a stunning piece! I especially like colour of the resin😍
Thanks, Derek!
Absolutely gorgeous piece, you guys knocked it right out of the park on this one. Great, GREAT work.
Take care,

Absolutely Beautiful! I'm wondering if you made a fitted protective cover for when it's not in use?

We did not, the client didn’t want to cover up the beauty, they wanted to have it on display!
@@BlackForestWoodCo have you looked into a tempered glass top as a possible answer?
Late on this one, wow what a beautiful table. You never stop amazing us with your skills. Well done
Thanks for sharing your skill and knowledge with the world. Your team makes difficult jobs look easy. Fantastic work.
Thank you so much John! We really appreciate that!
Excellent piece. Amazing attention to detail. Thanks again for sharing your artwork ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much, Maddie. Happy you enjoyed 😊
keep this business going strong at all costs!! some of your viewers today are HOPING to be some of your biggest clients in a decade :-)
We will! That would be so awesome
BEAUTIFUL! Nice work as usual! I'd almost hate to play on that surface! 😅 thanks for sharing your amazing talents!
By the way, I did not hear what length you made the playing surface. 9', 12' or 14' ?
The table seems short to me, is Canadian shuffleboard shorter than American?

Is this standard shuffleboard length? It looks drastically shorter. Beautiful job!
It’s 9’, standard for a small home sized table!

Looks terrific but what is a shuffle board. Never seen one on this side of the pond
It’s a type of gaming table!
Excellent work!! Love this piece!!
Thank you so much!

Great work. I love your shop!
Glad you appreciate it 😊
I love the swirls in the blue. The copper pieces really set it off. 1 question: Why are the corner brass pieces in 2, not 1 L shaped piece?
Mostly just becuase of our tooling available. If we did one piece we would’ve likely had to use a metal CNC whereas with this option we cut everything on our conventional machinery.
Thank you for the explanation.

It's absolutely beautiful, but how do you use it as a table?
It looks amazing but I worry about it scratching when playing with it!?

It’s unfortunately bound to happen if they plan on using the piece. It’s no different than the amount of scratches on any other shuffle board, just more painful to see happen 😂
Yeah but I imagine after a couple of years or so of use you could just buff it out in an hour or two since the scratches should not be very deep!
@@jonnyb89821 Yes definitely! Using ceramic on it will also help to fill in some of the scratches that aren't deep
Incredible and beautiful build!!!
Thank you David! It’s nice to hear from you.
That looks really nice.
Thanks so much Jonathan
Wow that really does look like a work of art ontop of being a shuffle board. 🤩
Thank you so much Terry!
Wow! Wish someone in India did the same quality of work with wood. This is simply wonderful.
Thank you so much 😀
How does it play versus a traditional wood surface? Does the surface scratch from the corn and the discs?
Wo, what an intense project! Compliments and thank you for the inspiration:)
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!
So beautiful as always❤❤❤
Thank you 😊
Another beautiful project, well done.

Another fine commission job. Keep up the awesome projects
We will!! 😃
If I walked into a bar and this was the shuffleboard table, that would immediately become my new watering hole.
Agreed!
Watching the playing surface come to life was magic!
Such a satisfying part of the process!
I feel like the epoxy is going to crack around those brass in lays during the expansion and contraction as the metal moves differently than the wood. Hopefully it doesn’t
Instead of brass use a gold colored resin in those grooves.
It shouldn’t! This is our second piece we’ve done like this and had no issues in the first one. The first piece is nearly 4 years old now.
I’ve always associated Shuffle board with elderly cruise passengers 😂 beautiful as always.
Haha! Maybe this is going on a cruise ship, who knows 😂
Another beautiful piece, they must really love playing that game 👍

9:02 are you polishing the underside of the table? I figured you would want to do that kind of polishing to the playing side of the table.
We do it to both sides
Awesome table!!
Question, why so worried that this piece could warp but not worried when coming to your tables.
“I ran out of things to say” 😂😂
Beautiful work!!
Thank you!! 😁
Hi Guys, Happy Easter 🐣, Have a great weekend,
👋 Hello happy Easter to you too! And I am, I hope the same for you!
Beautiful piece
Thanks 😊
nice work:) but why is there a lot of orange peel on the surface?
What is the difference between a thickness sander and a planer?
Very nice, you guys did an amazing job
Thank you 😊
Looks great. I would be afraid to play on it since it is so beautiful
Eric from Ghana West Africa Superb works
Thanks Eric!
It's my first time hearing about a shuffle table. The final product looks so good. Nicely done.
Thank you so much 😊
Beautiful simply beautiful.
But won’t the sand from playing shuffle board scratch the heck out of the epoxy and be obvious?? I think that’s why they are usually just oiled butcher blocks essentially
Incredible ❤

Yeah new episode ❤️
Thanks for always supporting us!

Thank you very much, Patrick!
Pretty cool looking
Thanks Fred!
Stunning!
Thank you! 😊
Absolument gorgeous
A very beautiful shuffle board.
Thank you 😊
Masterpiece
Which pigment plz?
Inspired to build some of these.
great as always!
I don't know squat about playing shuffleboard, but I want one!
That makes two of us!
I had to repair and refinish a cheaper factory made shuffle board once. Yeah... not fun trying to get the top perfectly smooth.
Definitely not!
going to need some pads on those back walls lol some people love to sling those pucks around
Love it
Thanks!
beautiful!
Wow that is amazing
Need to integrate scoring some how
Какой-то этап шлифования - не перекрыт следующим))). Видна риска (след от шлифовки, возможно это был P500-P800)
It’s an art piece
Thanks!
Wow.

Looks awesome, but perhaps my expectations were too high... You charge extra for the highly polished finish... but end up with that much orange peel?
Maybe it's not possible in resin
Gorgeous, but a little short for shuffleboard.
I would like to have seen it in action. Beautiful work though.
