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.
This was perfect as a vanity desk for me. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxMAlHv7-BBWMrPRm5-uEoD6rtdT7SG2Qr Especially the glossy finish. Easy to cleanI was looking for something that wasn't the traditional white and with more of a modern feel. This fit the bill beautifully.

I had one track that needed to be aligned with different holes than the rest.
I know that this is an old video but I just wanted to say Mr Cam, it has been such a crazy pleasure watching you grow and learn, and make mistakes and corrections, and work hard to achieve what you do. You are only as good as the last job you did! And that mentality you have is very rare! It has been awesome watching not only your skills grow and progress, but watching you grow your channel more and more! You are someone I would sit down and have a beer with, or go to car shows with and invite over for dinner good company kinda dude! I hope you take atleast a tiny bit of joy in reading this message !
I own a construction company, but my true drive and passion has always been wood working. Slowly built my inventory of commercial tools and equipment that collect dust more than make it, because I’m usually making free projects in my spare time for fun. Well.. I just bought a $4,000 black walnut slab. It’s your fault. Kidding, but you offer incredible advice and insight. And they way you demonstrate mistakes genuinely helps in all processes of anyone like myself who’s a perfectionist. 90% of my projects never end up following my initial plan or idea. So I got to the point where I just jump head first into it, with zero aim or goal at the end, until it’s finished. And it really generates really cool stuff! Turns on the creativity when you really f-up. 😅
Watching your newer videos first, it's amazing how much you've improved over the years! You are so much more confident in the voice-over and your technique has gotten so much better.
I really admire all these people who have the time, tools, skill, and creativity to make amazing stuff! kudos to all of you! To watch you create things like this is really emotionally rewarding as it is inspirational!
This stuff is interesting ! I’m busy mom I’ve never made anything like this but these are so calming to watch and beautiful ✅ love to watch these in my down time
I've been subscribed to your channel for quite some time, and tonight I came across this video... While your production guality has gone up substantially in the newer videos, this older one goes to show that you have maintained a very high level of value in the way you show tool/product usage, as well as how you explain the what and why behind things you did to achieve a beautiful piece. Keep up the great work!
"(the clients) occasionally have some good ideas." Ha! I agree the extra piece to square it up is perfect for this table. You get sort of combined appearance of both raw slab and square edges that way. Looks fab.
You can get mounts for the fans so they hang from the ceiling. Kind of looks like root arms, very configurable, and can be moved completely out of your way.
It can save you a lot of money on woodwork project if you have the in depth woodwork system. I have written all of my experience & expensive mistakes I've made in my very first days on wood working. You should discover more about it: *TopFineWoodworking. Com*

I enjoyed watching and learning from your video. I'm newer to the woodworking scene, making more "rustic" style desks and tables, so videos like yours are very helpful in learning new tips, tricks and overall methodology for wood craft. I'm a whiles away from what you're doing, but excited to get there i ... eventually. Thanks. - Timothy
Very professional video. I do a lot of wood and metal working myself and I constantly find myself searching youtube to learn more things. By far one of the best educational videos I've watched. Get ready for your sub count to skyrocket!
This was one of the first videos I came across when researching how to pour epoxy. It was very helpful. My first big pour didn’t go so well, but the last one I just did cane out great. Thanks for the info!
I'm curious about the bonding strength of the epoxy. I noticed that you didn't reinforce the wooden pieces together with either steel rods or wooden support pieces. There is a lot of weight in the wooden pieces and I was wondering if there is a possibility of separation of the wood and epoxy?
That's what I was thinking, I thought he could have drilled into the sides and installed some threaded rods into each piece to give the epoxy some longer bits to grab around.
Don't forget epoxy is a glue, it works through micro bonding deep into the pores of the wood, as well as a a keying effect where it takes perfect hold of the odd shapes its near, this ecopoxy is meant for tables like this, but I'm speaking to epoxies in general, and they are basically the strongest glue you can buy. So there is absolutely no need to reinforce for the strength of the bond. However some reinforce under the table with inlay ed steel beams help stabilize the slabs from twisting, but if the wood is at equilibrium moisture content of its final destination this will never be a problem. However, many aren't cautious or patient enough to wait until wood is at its perfect equilibrium moisture content.
I have no idea how I stumbled across this video, but I'm riveted. I've always dreamed of doing fine carpentry, and this is a take on it I never knew existed. Kudos!
george george maybe plaster the RUclips with some of ur crap and then let the judging begin ? It seems to me u are jealous and feel the need to brag about yourself....... Possibly because no one else has ?
You are awesome Mate. You should install a removable light-structured roller frame with a lock in mechanism on the back of your ute to prevent the slab falling of when yoy are driving. Also, you should make the workbench height-adjustable using only one carjack.
@@jonathanhumphrey4143 Now that really depends. I bought a nice large Live Edge slab for a table that I built and I only paid $25 for the slab. Now it was not Walnut it was Hemlock but it was a gorgeous piece that I bought from my neighbors sawmill and I'm sure he gave me the neighborly price. The table turned out gorgeous . I did not use epoxy but many many coats of polyurethane . I'm not even sure how many coats that I used but when I say a lot I mean A LOT. Take care T
Been loving your videos man. I’m contemplating making myself a smaller epoxy dining table. I’ve been binging your videos. Love them. Just thought it was funny because when I was googling epoxy tables for inspiration I saved one on my phone and it’s THIS one that’s in your thumbnail haha. What a small world
Excellent work of craftsmanship! Also excellent video editing and tutorial. This shows why sometimes is better buy these work of arts instead of building them: the time involved, the expertise, the cost of materials and the tools needed is not something that is accessible to everybody.
I live in california where theres tons of coastal redwoods, and on one of my father's old properties, it came with a massive cut of wood out of a 500+ year old redwood. The cut is about 3 inches thick and it spans roughly 7 feet at the smallest point, not including holes in the wood from rot. Hopefully i can use it to make a killer coffee table using the epoxy method
SuperWaffleSuperSyrup But the bigger question is how much would it sell for? I’m just starting out in this type of work but I don’t even have a ball park figure to sell for. Can you help?
I don't have a question but damn sir. Your videos are so great. How you edit your videos and how you explain things is very good. Not to mention your woodworking skill is off chart. I'm not really into commenting things on what I see on youtube but yours is exceptional. Please continue making great videos. 👍
This is a superb wood working book I`ve ever read, *TopFineWoodworking. Com* . Both novice and some skilled woodworker can gain a lot of general info using this reading material. I`ve been very amazed how frequently I use this to look up woods at places like to restore and salvage spots.?
"this wasn't even staged" "seems a bit too convienient" at timestamp 1:00 if you look close it has sold written on it and in the over head shot it has been wiped away
I have an @home workshop (aka my garage) where I build tables, benches etc.. I use live edge slabs from trees I've fell, slabbed and dried in my kiln. I have to say, I love my porter cable material remover too! That thing is such a time saver! Everything else I have is from the dewalt flexvolt system or in homeowner lingo, the yellow ones with the big 60v batteries lol. You've done an incredible job here! It's a gorgeous table and for the most part, you're spot on. With 1 small exception. I may have miss heard but it sounded like eco-poxy is the only one capable of doing a job like this at this level or that it's the best one hands down and no other can compare... Maybe they're a sponsor, making it the "appropriate" thing to say on a informative video.. Whatever the reason, it's incorrect. I've married slabs together with an inexpensive 2 part epoxy sold on Amazon and I've done it with eco-poxy. As well as a few other brands priced from high to mid to low. Call it an epoxiganza or a personal search for the best value to use on a professional level. The difference I found between the $200 2 part 1.5 gal eco-poxy kit and the $50 2 part 1 gallon kit sold on Amazon is viscosity and the need to torch-pop the bubbles.. All of my pours were done in a temp controlled environment though. If you're planning to recreate this table or one similar to it, DIY style. Know, you do not need to buy the most expensive epoxy on the market to achieve results like this. In fact, with a little practice and alot of patience, you can accomplish this look with the inexpensive one! Buying epoxy isn't like buying a truck. A $10k one is alright but the $70k one is MUCH NICER! A 2 part epoxy is 2 chemicals mixed into 1 that molecularly bond and chemically solidify. The cheaper brand simply adds more of an inert element. Which creates a void between the elements that makeup the chemicals for the resin and the activator which increases total volume of product. Too much of which and it's no longer epoxy. But if it's epoxy than its epoxy. It's not as if the elements are lesser somehow. Just not as numerous or abundant. Which is why some adhere better than others. Bonding flat smooth surfaces may be an issue with an inexpensive brand. Also some will yellow in the elements or exposed to direct UV light. But for bonding 2 live edge slabs together with colored epoxy, adhesion or discoloring won't be an issue at all. If you're doing a crystal clear pour, without mica powder or dye. Then yes, a more expensive epoxy may be needed if it'll spend any time outside or in direct sunlight. Ie. a dining table next to a large east or west facing window. It'll cause ambering or yellowing. Other than that, an inexpensive epoxy is perfectly ok when colored and used to marry slabs with solid jagged edges. Do your homework, buy a few (3 or 4) different brand, 8oz. 2 part epoxy kits. Do a couple small pours with each one. Bond 2 sticks together or whatever you can imagine. Just make sure it's worthless and fun. Once you've mastered an 8oz pour that's a few inches long by an inch deep by a couple inches wide, you'll be able to do one at any scale. Just be sure to triple check everything before you mix and pour! If you use your brain to plan and pay attention to detail. You can do massive pours without spilling a drop or losing any to leakage or seepage. Just make sure you have a plan, plan, plan! Don't just hop in a tractor and plow down a bunch of corn fields then expect a baseball field to pop up...
Thanks for the feedback! This video was made a while ago and I believe ecopoxy was the only deep pour one back then. Definitely lots of companies out there now though!
We sell slabs just like these shown here for 120$ on average at our mill out in Ava Missouri. Depends on the size of tables wanted. Our Walnut is 7$ pbf per board foot..cedar is 6$ per board foot. Sweet gum is 7$pbf,cherry 7$pbf and both red and white oak is 7$ per board ft.
Nicely done. Love the "cut and paste" method, to fill the form from the same slab. Still, I swear I saw a few bubbles from the second pour when you were pouring the third.
I love raw edges. I made a 8 foot bar out of river red gum for my pool room. It has some amazing fiddleback in it which catches the afternoon light. I supported it with an old rail way sign holder made from iron and cut in half to act as brackets. The raw edge is like on a 45 degree angle so its perfect for leaning against with a beer.
A slab like what he got is close to $5k maybe more at the place he got the slab from. I guess if you can afford a $600-$900 festool saw you can afford a slab that cost $5k.
I’d be interested in knowing the background of why you choose to do things the way you do- as in, do clients approach you and ask for specific things? Do you need to negotiate much in terms of expectations? Do you ever make tables without a specific client in mind? How much artistic freedom is in each piece? Great work, by the way :)
I work barefoot in my shed in summer. I guess if I drop a chisel on one of my toes then I’ll be able to make up a cool story about how I lost a toe on a hunting trip. Love your table mate. Looks awesome. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
@@TheIdeasGuy "A vicious wombat came, wanted my expensive tools... I said 'Not today you bloody wombat! Not this guy! Not these tools!' We had quite the tussle, little guy put up a hell of a fight! Bit clean through my work boot, took a few toes as compensation for his trouble and he ran off into the woods... I see the little bastard outside my shop now and again, he's got the taste for human flesh now! Better watch out.. the tools aren't the only reason we use eye protection around here! Cover your soft and tasty bits fellas.. or that bloodthirsty wombat will be back, and he might have friends." "Woah.. Really?!" "Nah, mate. I dropped a chisel on my foot while wearing sandals. You thought I fought a wombat? You thick fool. Although... maybe the wombat made me say that, so you wont expect it. Maybe he's waiting under your car, under the driver side.. waiting for those tasty foot sausages to come close. When you least expect!" "Wait.. so is there, or is there not and vicious bloodthirsty wombat around here?!" "Wouldn't _you_ like to know. ;] mwahaha"
To remove the slab from the bed of the truck, could lift up what's on the tailgate and put a dowel or something round under the slab, then just push down on the slab on the tailgate to teeter the slab onto the dowel and then pull it out onto your rolling table... Just a thought. Nice table!
You kid are an ass! Please post a picture of yourself so you can be avoided in the future. Or just a disconnect from the internet to save yourself embarrassment.
Safety check: Do not wear sandals when working in your shop just don't. Your toes are just as expensive as your fingers. 😎 Now thats dealt with, damn I need to study. I a long grasshopper am egar to scribble away on paper with pen.

This is the prettiest table I've ever seen
Awe shucks 😊
Would like to know the price of it ,looks so darn great.
.
slab alone would cost $500-$1000, epoxy is easy work, so table would maybe cost $1500-$2000
yeah I spoke to soon, this is not your average epoxy build. Taking it to a furniture maker to finish it, I'm gonna say this one would be $2-$5k

"this wasn't even staged" "seems a bit too convienient" at timestamp 1:00 if you look close it has sold written on it and in the over head shot it has been wiped away
he probably recorded after he found it. either way who gives a shit
DIY is a bit of an overstatement tbh, that said great job
That’s fair
Awesome job. Goby is the place to go for slabs. #pdx
Bro that's bad ass man I love watching this kinda videos to get ideas or to better an idea I already have
Anthony Mccauslin awesome, thanks!
"You did a really great job!"
*Smacks roof of horse*
I have an @home workshop (aka my garage) where I build tables, benches etc.. I use live edge slabs from trees I've fell, slabbed and dried in my kiln. I have to say, I love my porter cable material remover too! That thing is such a time saver! Everything else I have is from the dewalt flexvolt system or in homeowner lingo, the yellow ones with the big 60v batteries lol. You've done an incredible job here! It's a gorgeous table and for the most part, you're spot on. With 1 small exception. I may have miss heard but it sounded like eco-poxy is the only one capable of doing a job like this at this level or that it's the best one hands down and no other can compare... Maybe they're a sponsor, making it the "appropriate" thing to say on a informative video.. Whatever the reason, it's incorrect. I've married slabs together with an inexpensive 2 part epoxy sold on Amazon and I've done it with eco-poxy. As well as a few other brands priced from high to mid to low. Call it an epoxiganza or a personal search for the best value to use on a professional level. The difference I found between the $200 2 part 1.5 gal eco-poxy kit and the $50 2 part 1 gallon kit sold on Amazon is viscosity and the need to torch-pop the bubbles.. All of my pours were done in a temp controlled environment though. If you're planning to recreate this table or one similar to it, DIY style. Know, you do not need to buy the most expensive epoxy on the market to achieve results like this. In fact, with a little practice and alot of patience, you can accomplish this look with the inexpensive one! Buying epoxy isn't like buying a truck. A $10k one is alright but the $70k one is MUCH NICER! A 2 part epoxy is 2 chemicals mixed into 1 that molecularly bond and chemically solidify. The cheaper brand simply adds more of an inert element. Which creates a void between the elements that makeup the chemicals for the resin and the activator which increases total volume of product. Too much of which and it's no longer epoxy. But if it's epoxy than its epoxy. It's not as if the elements are lesser somehow. Just not as numerous or abundant. Which is why some adhere better than others. Bonding flat smooth surfaces may be an issue with an inexpensive brand. Also some will yellow in the elements or exposed to direct UV light. But for bonding 2 live edge slabs together with colored epoxy, adhesion or discoloring won't be an issue at all. If you're doing a crystal clear pour, without mica powder or dye. Then yes, a more expensive epoxy may be needed if it'll spend any time outside or in direct sunlight. Ie. a dining table next to a large east or west facing window. It'll cause ambering or yellowing. Other than that, an inexpensive epoxy is perfectly ok when colored and used to marry slabs with solid jagged edges. Do your homework, buy a few (3 or 4) different brand, 8oz. 2 part epoxy kits. Do a couple small pours with each one. Bond 2 sticks together or whatever you can imagine. Just make sure it's worthless and fun. Once you've mastered an 8oz pour that's a few inches long by an inch deep by a couple inches wide, you'll be able to do one at any scale. Just be sure to triple check everything before you mix and pour! If you use your brain to plan and pay attention to detail. You can do massive pours without spilling a drop or losing any to leakage or seepage. Just make sure you have a plan, plan, plan! Don't just hop in a tractor and plow down a bunch of corn fields then expect a baseball field to pop up...
Thanks for the feedback! This video was made a while ago and I believe ecopoxy was the only deep pour one back then. Definitely lots of companies out there now though!
I'm from Texas and looking for a job I'm down to help you out I'm 22 just saw your video lol nice build

Thank you! I'm planning a live edge dining table for the house we're about to move into and this is oh so helpful. Thanks for sharing!
Oh thanks!
Hi I was just wondering how much does the table way when it's all done? It's so amazing.
Rough estimate ~800 lbs
Wow this is truly CLUTCH. Lol. It’s been awesome
Watching these I feel I know nothing about epoxy projects and your helping me learn. Thank you 🤗👊🏻🙏
👊👊
"I need an employee"
Me: Is there a job opening? 😂
Great stuff man! Way more informative than the other videos on this topic. Beautiful work!
Cody Toman glad you think so, did my best 👍🏼
3:24 "I always give myself a couple extra inches", dont we all
Awesome video! Thank you for all the steps and process shots! Turned out amazing.
CReeves Makes thanks for saying so!

Me: :(
Man exceptional video , thank you so much for sharing your great knowledge on how to do these. I'm slowly talking myself into trying one.
Had more friends. 😂 story of my life
I love those steel toe sandals 😂😂
Beautiful table.
Great work
Thanks pat!
How much did the wood cost?
I had the same question...
You can be sure it is a big bucket of bucks.
We sell slabs just like these shown here for 120$ on average at our mill out in Ava Missouri. Depends on the size of tables wanted. Our Walnut is 7$ pbf per board foot..cedar is 6$ per board foot. Sweet gum is 7$pbf,cherry 7$pbf and both red and white oak is 7$ per board ft.
@@angieridenour5523 does your company sell on the internet? looking for some wood on a guitar build
Nicely done. Love the "cut and paste" method, to fill the form from the same slab. Still, I swear I saw a few bubbles from the second pour when you were pouring the third.
Probably did!
Awesome build ! just don’t use flip flops when working it’s dangerous
iri iri that’s what I keep hearing. I got 10 toes still, when I get to 8 I’ll make an adjustment. And thanks!
@@BlacktailStudio . I thought those were the NEW steel toe flip flops ?
sandals? and figuaring out how to get a piece a "wood" out of a shortbed truck. holy shit! careful if you come to Texas
jzaatx lived there for 4 years! First week I stood on a red ant hill in flip flops 😬 didn’t learn I guess.
What a gem of information! Thank you for this informative video!
That is clutch
Nice Tundra!! Best truck out there. I got the Long Bed 8' Double Cab. Love IT!!!
jeremy s part of me thinks I missed out not going long bed
Cool table. But really amazed you wear flip flops in a wood workshop....crazy.
I love raw edges.
I made a 8 foot bar out of river red gum for my pool room. It has some amazing fiddleback in it which catches the afternoon light. I supported it with an old rail way sign holder made from iron and cut in half to act as brackets.
The raw edge is like on a 45 degree angle so its perfect for leaning against with a beer.
Sweet!
How much would a slab cost
A slab like what he got is close to $5k maybe more at the place he got the slab from. I guess if you can afford a $600-$900 festool saw you can afford a slab that cost $5k.
@@The__Canuck. WTH? 5K? So the tree costs over 50K? Don't think so...
i'll give you a good slap for only ... 10 bucks ! ;o)
@@fasousa4798 Yeah a walnut slab of that size and thickness is between $2,500-$8,000. www.keimlumber.com/walnutblack link for reference.
@Hank Chinaski It definitely is for that type of claro walnut of that length width and thickness. More likely more like $7,500.
dude ill help, just saw the needed employee caption, jack of all trades and love learning especially woodworking.
Thanks! I’ll keep ya in mind if I decide to do it!
Great video, nice table and love the hairstyle. If out here,I would love to help you
I’d be interested in knowing the background of why you choose to do things the way you do- as in, do clients approach you and ask for specific things? Do you need to negotiate much in terms of expectations? Do you ever make tables without a specific client in mind? How much artistic freedom is in each piece? Great work, by the way :)
Oh, that’s a whole conversation in itself!
Fantastic job mate, please sort your footwear out when you're in the workshop, flip flops...??? you've got to be joking...!!!
Allen O'Rourke worst part about winter is not getting to wear them! I got lots of toes. Can spare one or two.
I work barefoot in my shed in summer. I guess if I drop a chisel on one of my toes then I’ll be able to make up a cool story about how I lost a toe on a hunting trip.
Love your table mate. Looks awesome. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
The Ideas Guy Aussie’s are the best. Cheers mate!
@@TheIdeasGuy "A vicious wombat came, wanted my expensive tools... I said 'Not today you bloody wombat! Not this guy! Not these tools!' We had quite the tussle, little guy put up a hell of a fight! Bit clean through my work boot, took a few toes as compensation for his trouble and he ran off into the woods... I see the little bastard outside my shop now and again, he's got the taste for human flesh now! Better watch out.. the tools aren't the only reason we use eye protection around here! Cover your soft and tasty bits fellas.. or that bloodthirsty wombat will be back, and he might have friends."
"Woah.. Really?!"
"Nah, mate. I dropped a chisel on my foot while wearing sandals. You thought I fought a wombat? You thick fool.
Although... maybe the wombat made me say that, so you wont expect it. Maybe he's waiting under your car, under the driver side.. waiting for those tasty foot sausages to come close. When you least expect!"
"Wait.. so is there, or is there not and vicious bloodthirsty wombat around here?!"
"Wouldn't _you_ like to know. ;] mwahaha"

To remove the slab from the bed of the truck, could lift up what's on the tailgate and put a dowel or something round under the slab, then just push down on the slab on the tailgate to teeter the slab onto the dowel and then pull it out onto your rolling table... Just a thought. Nice table!
Bro, i'll come be your apprentice and help you lift stuff.
No me
He’s gonna lose his foot soon, he’ll need plenty of help
@@bearbriganti5203 his foot?
@@theterribleanimator1793 yes. He's wearing sandals

God, what a gorgeous piece of wood.
6:13 before he gets an employee, maybe he should get some shoes?
Do not insult others..!! Atleast he is doing his job..!! Not ever1 are rich..!!
He is atleast working to feed himself..rather than stealing or killing or begging.
You're quite the talented craftsman
Oh, thanks for saying so!
i took a big dump i clogged the toilet :-) it was incredible i couldn't believe it
What the fuck?
congrats
well congrats you have exceeded someones expectations
I’m proud
You kid are an ass! Please post a picture of yourself so you can be avoided in the future. Or just a disconnect from the internet to save yourself embarrassment.
love the tip of the shims in the kerf for lining up cuts with the track saw!!!
Happy accident!
Safety check: Do not wear sandals when working in your shop just don't. Your toes are just as expensive as your fingers. 😎
Now thats dealt with, damn I need to study. I a long grasshopper am egar to scribble away on paper with pen.
Excellent work, the walk thru and detail are very helpful!
Thanks John!
