I live in Tokyo, Japan. A few years ago ,on a whim, I took up a kintsugi class. We did it on broken bowls and other potteries. It's not as easy as it seems but it really worth the time and efforts !
I absolutely applaud you for showing your mistakes and letting us know how you fix said mistakes. Also teaching your daughter your craft. I can tell you're a great Dad.... Ok, annnnnyway... This table is SO SOOOOOOOO Gorgeous. Fantastic work Jonny.
Beautiful work! As for to stain or not to stain, each piece will speak for itself. The fact that you had problems w/ the overfill was the piece correcting your choice to bring you to where it wanted to be. This is a table I can see being put in a prestigious position in a huge office type atmosphere. Beautiful job!
I came over from Blacktail, and this is the first video I watched. Kitsugi is one of my favorite techniques, for repairing broken items, and this sold me on sticking around for a while. Thanks!
First, As a teacher, Im glad your daughter seemed interested and got to try herself. Second, this table looks stunning. I really love the fading with the gold. super cool
Props for trying out the kintsugi technique on such a large piece. I've seen in before in bowls and pottery, first time I'm seeing it on furniture. This piece wasn't my cup of tea, but then again, I'm not about to buy a several thousand dollar table anyway. Thanks for the content and especially for showing us how you worked through the various problems and mistakes along the way, that is exceedingly helpful for the rest of us mere mortals.
I have to say I have been working with epoxy for two years and watching RUclips videos for 4 years. You are the first I have seen actually using tape!! Bless you! Have a great day
This is the second video I've seen making an epoxy table with mapa burl, and that wood really is amazing. The gold inlay to 'repair' the cracks added more character than just a simple cookie slab. You're a true artist with the medium!
I love it when your daughters in the videos seeing families being happy, and having fun makes the videos better. It’s part of the reason why I like, watching fab rats, or Matts off-road recovery
Beautiful. I think the kintsugi technique with the black stain really enhanced the natural beauty of the cookie. Staining the base the black gave it a cohesive look. Well done, I think you did a great job. I enjoy watching your channel because you're willing to try new things.
12:29 looks like something I've seen before, where the edges of the piece get raised by the sealant used around the edges of the mold. But... I LOVE the final thing, just incredibly beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
ALSO, you are a totally cool dad... having your kid in the video makes your videos so much more connected to your viewer then the run of the mill vids that are so pro shop- no fun factors included. Your jokes and family oriented approach along with your mistakes as you progress through the project is what separates you from the hundreds of other shop shows out there.
Dangerous thing to ask. It is usually best to keep children out of a public video. You can connect with his personality and sense of humor if you must.
I just found your channel with this video suggestion. I might be slightly obsessed with kintsugi repair and just love the idea of something that is imperfectly perfect and where imperfections are highlighted, not hidden, and the result is something so much more beautiful because of the imperfection. Beautiful table and love that the breaks were embraced rather than covered up. The mishap uncrating it and transportating it is a part of the journey of that slab, just as every ring is.
It's beautiful! At first when you said you were going to stain it black I thought that was sacrilegious, but to see the finished product, the black stain brought out the natural brown colour and the gold leaf really sets it off, excellent!!
It is a very good book for beginners as well as for those that are already into ruclips.net/user/postUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt A very good basic ebook to keep as a reference too. I like it and the way the subject matter is presented. It has humor and that helps with the reading.
Honestly, I had my doubts about: staining a live edge piece, staining walnut, kintsugi on such a large scale, the entire idea -- BUT the finished project is beautiful! I'd be proud to own this table. Good job sir!
If you ever do it again. With gold leaf supply, you’ll see a burnisher. Which is a polished piece of agate on a stick. If you burnish it, the gold will be even more beautiful. It is lovely. Congratulations
Jonny, I yelled out loud when you cracked the slab but you proved that sometimes the best work begins with a mistake. Table is BEAUTIFUL! Love the dissipation of the gold towards the outside perimeter.
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL MAN! THE INSPIRATION OF USING AN ANCIENT TECHNIQUE TO REPAIR SOMETHING AND YOU MADE THE RIGHT CALL, FADING IT OUT TOWARDS THE EDGE!
A local Native American Casino restaurant has the most beautiful kintsugi tables in four translucent tile colors! I love going there to celebrate. Always encourage and empower family members, they could be holding the keys to a brighter world, even if you yourself have already given up.
This was my first video of yours. Loved it! I'm a oil painter, landscapes, but for some reason I love watching people make things out of wood. Your table are beautiful!! Love the concept of being a maker. Someday I think I'm going to pour me a table. You're good at what you do.
The table turned out great. I love the idea of kintsugi, beautifying the flaws of repair with gold. This would be awesome to own, paired with kintsugi pottery/dishware
This is the first video that I've watched from you. Absolutely spectacular! Absolutely no sin and standing the Walnut especially since it turned out so amazingly beautiful. I have a friend who studies Japanese art forms painting and drawing and this is very familiar with the kintsugi art form. I've sent her your video:-) hopefully she'll give you a comment after she seen it.
It is wonderful that you are teaching your daughter how to do what you do. It is invaluable knowledge. I LOVE the work you did on the table. Great job!!
Beautiful. Once I was sanding a boat filled with epoxy and micro glass mixture.. I really lliked the the wiev, so natural. I think it should be tried on a table making
kintsugi is the technique you're using but the philosophy it's meant to represent; Wabi-sabi. The wabi-sabi aesthetics is inspired by the world-view of finding beauty in the imperfect. That's why they put gold in the cracks of the pottery. It's meant to signify the beauty in the flaws of the bowl.
Kintsugi apparently translates as golden joinery as in joining broken pottery. A Japanese emperor imported a Chinese tea service and some got broken and we're repaired by joining the pieces together with gold wire staples, he said surely there's a better way of doing this. I paraphrase but essentially that's how kintsugi came about.
@@andrewclarkehomeimprovement Interesting. I'm uncertain as to the validity of the claim, but it would be pretty funny if my understanding of the Wabi-sabi philosophy in relation to kintsugi was based on bullshit. Now let's talk about your grammar. It's not good my guy. It made your comment difficult to read and understand. I'm going to help you out: "Kintsugi apparently translates as golden joinery as in joining broken pottery.

I'm a bit biased because I love darker colors, but the dark stain made it look so much better! I feel like certain parts pop much better with it. Beautiful table :)
FYI regarding the circle jig. It's worth the time to just make one with metal rods that go into your router plate holes as they are infinity adjust and you'll never have to waste time making a custom one out of wood ever again.
vielen Dank für diesen fantastischen Arbeitsablauf. Mit großer Gespanntheit und viel Freude habe ich Ihrer Arbeit zugesehen. Das ist ein sehr aufwändiges Projekt. Nochmals vielen lieben DAnk uns allen zu zeigen wie so etwas komplexes gebaut und vorher mit viel Arbeit hergestellt werden kann. Danke fürs teilen und großen Respekt von mir an Sie , aus Deutschland.
Beautiful. Like a bolt of lightning across a dark sky. We have storms just like it in Australia. I have seen the same method of Katsugi on cracked floor tiles, so using it on wood is just another clever adaption.
This turned out so high-end looking. It should go into a multi-million-dollar home. I would love to know what price you put on it too. You put a lot of work into it, but the final product is a masterpiece.
Pencil marks...good idea! I took my students to Japan in 1999 and saw quite a few examples of kintsukuroi repaired ceramics. We also saw many examples of Shou Sugi Ban on traditional fences as well as modern houses. Table is amazing! Will you keep it? Sabarashi!
the stain is gorgeous, really brings out the character of the wood! I think the only thing that could be improved is the transition between the gold foil and black epoxy, there are some spots where you can see a repeated pattern caused by pressing the foil sheet down which is a small distraction. I think if you had mixed the gold foil with clear epoxy and used that, it would have created a more random application that you could mask off and feather out with more control. beautiful table overall!
I'm with ya. It had such a nice, 4 leaf clover-ish shape. If it was up to me, I would have left the natural shape, lay it out with the 4 pieces assembled, but leave about a 1-1/2 inch gap between all the pieces and fill the gaps with gold swirl apoxy.
Absolutely beautiful! Truly! I’ve begun watching a good deal of woodworking content, but this is genuinely the prettiest table creation I’ve seen thus far. Phenomenal and honestly perfect. Wish I could afford this for my home. God bless whoever buys this lovely piece, I believe a lot of love and consideration went into it, and will translate to the lucky owner for years to come! Best!
I stained walnut with a clear black many years ago - it looked very Japanese stylish - & so does your table - hope someone with a big foyer is looking for something like your work. Lovely piece.
Seeing your daughter in the video was wonderful! You should do a video where you two work on a project together if she's interested! It'd honestly make me so happy to see you passing down your craft to her! Each video I have seen her in, she seems so nice and happy, especially the projects you have made for her! I'd love to see her more ^^
Hi there, I think it looks beautiful. You have done a cracking job on this table. I would love to own a table like this. Thanks for taking us on your journey with your woodworking. Keep up the great work 👍
I really like this table. I would prefer the gold being more of a sprinkled effect like in the larger areas but it still is a nice look. Thanks for your videos.
using the pencil to check your sanding works fine, but try out powdered guide coat, they also have it in aerosol (I use mirka currently). A product dedicated for finding any imperfections through the sanding process. Not only good for sand scratches, but also checking for straightness or flatness. Another body mans tip! Hope this comment finds your eyes, let Cam know too!!
Magnif! I love the Japanese modern morph. Try some Japanese joinery too, some time on your under structure. I did for a bed frame made with 5/4 walnut harvested and milled locally in Central New Jersey. It turned out great but no pics. There are some good Japanese jpiner books out there.
I loved the stain on both the slab and the walnut base, however personally I liked the table MUCH better before the gold leaf. That being said, great job on both the video and on the stunningly beautiful table. Finally I want to say that what you do on this channel is nothing short of art, everything you build is beautiful and one of a kind. And thus... it is perfect.😉
Amazing build, the table came out great. Only thing that i personally think would look nicer is if the gold in the cracks wasnt just plain gold and instead had a swirly gold effect like you get if you mix epoxy with the powder pigments. Nontheless, your skills are top notch, that table looks like its the highest quality possible!
For clarity's sake, Stains are heavy pigment mixed with some sort of hardening binder that sits (mostly) on top of the wood and covers up at the grain and figure Dyes are pure pigment mixed in either water or some other solvent that soak into the wood and then evaporate leaving only the pigment, highlighting and accentuating grain and figure Dye is always a fun and good idea in Fine Furniture with heavily figured Woods, stain should never be used in Fine Furniture
Black stain will look good but I don’t think it was the smartest thing for the gold but I trust you because your an amazing artist and woodworker Edit: it ended very good Also did the survey:)
Beautiful piece. I wonder how the gold-to-black transition would have worked if you had blended gold flake into the black filler epoxy? I hope this piece finds a home worthy of its aesthetic. And you’re right about Springsteen: while I find his musical talents over-rated, he is a good guy when it comes to the working class, standing up for what’s right, and treating everyone with equanimity.
Man I love seeing your stuff, especially since your a local, doing similar stuff I am (I do metal and carbon fiber though). You are a huge motivator to get me off my bum and get to making. keep it up and stomp on the haters. Amazing builds.
The table came out great! Life is always an adventure when working with big burls and epoxy. What doesn't kill us, burn the shop down, or get us arrested, makes us stronger woodworkers! Nice that the daughter made an appearance to show you how it's done! Wait! He has a daughter, that means he procreated??? How the heck did that one happen...😉
I do industrial coating, and it’s true bugs are immediately attracted to the epoxy we use. There is an additive that helps, but not sure it would for what you’re using. You can talk to a industrial coating specialist from sherwin williams. You have to ask specifically, your local store may be a residential.
The Devil made me do it! Beautiful! Very upscale. I like your work. You teach me a lot. Unfortunately, I don't have a shop so... No matter, I'm a 74 year old retired carpenter, artist, writer, etc.,etc.(not retired from learning)
THAT TABLE IS BEAUTIFUL. IT MAKES ME SOO SORRY I'M DEAD BROKE. AND LOOKING DOWNHILL. BUT I COULDN'T LET THIS GO BUY WITHOUT RECOGNIZING THE ARTISTRY AND PATIENCE INVOLVED IN THE WORK. BRAVO!
I think the finish was perfect. The black mean the black with the gold two of my favorite colors anyway I’d love seeing those together, but I think that table came out gorgeous.❤
Really enjoyed the video and I love it that you include your "whoopses". Normally I don't like the staining of wood's natural colors, but I think the devil's in the detailing and it just worked with the kintsugi. Great work! And, I love a good "bad"-dad-joke!
I love tuning in to watch ancient Japanese crafting techniques. *proceeds to watch someone make an epoxy table in bewilderment* yes I know he uses one later.
Undoubtedly, definitely, you have created a unique, unprecedented, unparalleled, marvellous masterpiece. I , definitely, enjoyed watching your performance, and , beyond any doubt, I’ve learnt a lot. Thanks, always.
YES! My husband is a huge Bruce fan and I don't think that much of his music. It was first really big concert I ever attended and I only did it for the hubs. I'm loving this table and have a beloved cereal bowl my sister gave me that broke. Plan on doing something very similar to repair it. Oh, yeah, I subscribed!
Put a box fan beside your curing epoxy table facing slightly upward so there's an updraft away from the table surface, it'll keep most of the bugs and dust away from the surface.
I absolutely love the idea of celebrating and drawing attention to the scars that make something unique, especially when it makes the whole thing stronger. Beautiful job!!!
Seriously I love the natural beauty wood, stone and metal like bronze or chopper. I like the warmth and looks darker not blk or almost blk coloring but something like a really dark brown fir my wood. Great job
You do great work, try putting your epoxy in a vacuum chamber after you mix it (use a power drill) before you pour it into your form. Dip a vibrating tool into your epoxy while it's still wet to help it flow into crevices and remove air pockets, I learned that trick doing concrete work. You will notice a huge difference in how the epoxy turns out , and have less touch up work too.
Beautiful table! I think you pretty much had to go with the black stain, it really highlighted the kintsugi gold more so than just unstained Mappa. Great job!! Hey you really rock the beard, kind of look like 80's Bruce!!!
if you do lots of epoxy its definitely worth the $12 for a small paint mixer drill attachment to stir up your batches. its a game changer. just make sure to add a bit of de-bubbler to get out any air bubbles
I live in Tokyo, Japan. A few years ago ,on a whim, I took up a kintsugi class. We did it on broken bowls and other potteries. It's not as easy as it seems but it really worth the time and efforts !
The thing is that it doesn't seem easy to me. It must take a lot of patience! I have appreciation for people who do that kinda stuff.
That’s awesome
Kintsuge is one of the most beautiful mending methods/art forms.
I absolutely applaud you for showing your mistakes and letting us know how you fix said mistakes.
Also teaching your daughter your craft.
I can tell you're a great Dad.... Ok, annnnnyway...
This table is SO SOOOOOOOO Gorgeous.
Fantastic work Jonny.
Beautiful work! As for to stain or not to stain, each piece will speak for itself. The fact that you had problems w/ the overfill was the piece correcting your choice to bring you to where it wanted to be. This is a table I can see being put in a prestigious position in a huge office type atmosphere. Beautiful job!
I came over from Blacktail, and this is the first video I watched. Kitsugi is one of my favorite techniques, for repairing broken items, and this sold me on sticking around for a while. Thanks!

First, As a teacher, Im glad your daughter seemed interested and got to try herself.
Second, this table looks stunning. I really love the fading with the gold. super cool

I love it when your daughters in the videos seeing families being happy, and having fun makes the videos better. It’s part of the reason why I like, watching fab rats, or Matts off-road recovery
Beautiful. I think the kintsugi technique with the black stain really enhanced the natural beauty of the cookie. Staining the base the black gave it a cohesive look. Well done, I think you did a great job. I enjoy watching your channel because you're willing to try new things.
My biggest takeaway from this was at 22:55- the kaizen foam/sandpaper "dispenser". Table looks good, too...
I know, right? I know what my top drawer is transitioning into!
That gold leaf really sets it off! When done right, gold really enhances the beauty of wood. You Sir, did it right!!!
12:29 looks like something I've seen before, where the edges of the piece get raised by the sealant used around the edges of the mold. But... I LOVE the final thing, just incredibly beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

I fully agree with you on Springsteen. He is probably the most over rated "artist" on the planet. The table is gorgeous!
Agreed.

Come ON!?!? Really? Springsteen was pretty awesome. Maybe not the absolute best but certainly wasn't half as horrendous as yall make him out.

To keep the flying insects off of your epoxy, try building a frame around the project an hang some mosquito netting or a plastic sheet over the top.
I love how you’re using humor while you’re working. Beautiful table.😀
That table edge made it look like a flower and you cut off the most beautiful part of the wood. It's beautiful though.

I think the only thing that could be improved is the transition between the gold foil and black epoxy, there are some spots where you can see a repeated pattern caused by pressing the foil sheet down which is a small distraction.

The stain hides the character of the wood. You have to squint to even see the wood.
Wow this turned out incredible. I love how you repaired it. Very enjoyable to watch this table come to life!
I can’t believe you cut it into a circle with such beautiful petted structure.
I'm with ya. It had such a nice, 4 leaf clover-ish shape. If it was up to me, I would have left the natural shape, lay it out with the 4 pieces assembled, but leave about a 1-1/2 inch gap between all the pieces and fill the gaps with gold swirl apoxy.

It's a beaut! Stain looks great, and actually, the diminishing gold is quite a nice touch.

Magnif! I love the Japanese modern morph. Try some Japanese joinery too, some time on your under structure. I did for a bed frame made with 5/4 walnut harvested and milled locally in Central New Jersey. It turned out great but no pics. There are some good Japanese jpiner books out there.
Thats a beautiful table. Maybe the video doesn't show the detail but it seems just a bit dark. I love the gold leaf.
I just could not believe how he handled the slab from the palette. I saw it cracking the moment You touched it.
Beautiful work! I’ve always love the Kintsugi style
cute pic
I loved the stain on both the slab and the walnut base, however personally I liked the table MUCH better before the gold leaf.
That being said, great job on both the video and on the stunningly beautiful table.
Finally I want to say that what you do on this channel is nothing short of art, everything you build is beautiful and one of a kind. And thus... it is perfect.😉
PS: The devil made me do it.
I agree, the gold/yellow color failed.
Amazing build, the table came out great. Only thing that i personally think would look nicer is if the gold in the cracks wasnt just plain gold and instead had a swirly gold effect like you get if you mix epoxy with the powder pigments. Nontheless, your skills are top notch, that table looks like its the highest quality possible!
Beautiful Tabel ever ! Thanks from Germany
For clarity's sake,
Stains are heavy pigment mixed with some sort of hardening binder that sits (mostly) on top of the wood and covers up at the grain and figure
Dyes are pure pigment mixed in either water or some other solvent that soak into the wood and then evaporate leaving only the pigment, highlighting and accentuating grain and figure
Dye is always a fun and good idea in Fine Furniture with heavily figured Woods, stain should never be used in Fine Furniture
Beautiful work! Love the way you went about it. Very inspiring.
if it is not the wrong direction
Black stain will look good but I don’t think it was the smartest thing for the gold but I trust you because your an amazing artist and woodworker
Edit: it ended very good
Also did the survey:)
The fact that it ended up red looking, not black, made all the difference.
@@Derploop ya this is why I’ve learned to just trust him 🤣😂 it sounds one thing but he’s been working so long he knows how it will end
Beautiful piece. I wonder how the gold-to-black transition would have worked if you had blended gold flake into the black filler epoxy? I hope this piece finds a home worthy of its aesthetic. And you’re right about Springsteen: while I find his musical talents over-rated, he is a good guy when it comes to the working class, standing up for what’s right, and treating everyone with equanimity.
Well Jonny you knock it out of the park with that table its awesome, keep making the videos I find them inspiring!!!
Super awesome and more kids and puppies is all good with me. I like the black but I like the medium tone better.. the walnut was nice darkened.
Man I love seeing your stuff, especially since your a local, doing similar stuff I am (I do metal and carbon fiber though). You are a huge motivator to get me off my bum and get to making. keep it up and stomp on the haters. Amazing builds.
The table came out great! Life is always an adventure when working with big burls and epoxy. What doesn't kill us, burn the shop down, or get us arrested, makes us stronger woodworkers! Nice that the daughter made an appearance to show you how it's done! Wait! He has a daughter, that means he procreated??? How the heck did that one happen...😉
Ifyou dont know that answer, talk to an Obgyn, OR read a high school biology book.
I'm not a dad, but if I were, let her know you have viewers who are in favor of letting her being in your life whenever she wants to be
Beautiful
I do industrial coating, and it’s true bugs are immediately attracted to the epoxy we use. There is an additive that helps, but not sure it would for what you’re using. You can talk to a industrial coating specialist from sherwin williams. You have to ask specifically, your local store may be a residential.
The Devil made me do it! Beautiful! Very upscale. I like your work. You teach me a lot. Unfortunately, I don't have a shop so... No matter, I'm a 74 year old retired carpenter, artist, writer, etc.,etc.(not retired from learning)
THAT TABLE IS BEAUTIFUL. IT MAKES ME SOO SORRY I'M DEAD BROKE. AND LOOKING DOWNHILL. BUT I COULDN'T LET THIS GO BUY WITHOUT RECOGNIZING THE ARTISTRY AND PATIENCE INVOLVED IN THE WORK. BRAVO!
I think the finish was perfect. The black mean the black with the gold two of my favorite colors anyway I’d love seeing those together, but I think that table came out gorgeous.❤
I Absoloutly adore how this piece turned out to be a treasure just because of his mentality instead of throwing it away.
I can't forgive staining the walnut because it's sacrilege but that table is gorgeous. Well done.
Really enjoyed the video and I love it that you include your "whoopses". Normally I don't like the staining of wood's natural colors, but I think the devil's in the detailing and it just worked with the kintsugi. Great work! And, I love a good "bad"-dad-joke!
I feel like if you would have angled the drill points in 45 degree angles, it would have made a better connection.
Love the honesty in this video. It highlights the things that can go wrong. And pitfalls to look out for.
this table is so beautiful!
I love tuning in to watch ancient Japanese crafting techniques.
*proceeds to watch someone make an epoxy table in bewilderment*
yes I know he uses one later.
Undoubtedly, definitely, you have created a unique, unprecedented, unparalleled, marvellous masterpiece. I , definitely, enjoyed watching your performance, and , beyond any doubt, I’ve learnt a lot. Thanks, always.
Beautiful! I can't stop thinking how that Kumiko table base would have looked under this table, with the gold and organic shapes.
YES! My husband is a huge Bruce fan and I don't think that much of his music. It was first really big concert I ever attended and I only did it for the hubs. I'm loving this table and have a beloved cereal bowl my sister gave me that broke. Plan on doing something very similar to repair it. Oh, yeah, I subscribed!
Put a box fan beside your curing epoxy table facing slightly upward so there's an updraft away from the table surface, it'll keep most of the bugs and dust away from the surface.
I absolutely love the idea of celebrating and drawing attention to the scars that make something unique, especially when it makes the whole thing stronger.
Beautiful job!!!
Awesome work ! It is so satisfying
Your channel is fascinating. Your style of furniture (from what I've seen) would not go with the rest of mine, but OMG this table is gorgeous!
Seriously I love the natural beauty wood, stone and metal like bronze or chopper. I like the warmth and looks darker not blk or almost blk coloring but something like a really dark brown fir my wood. Great job
You do great work, try putting your epoxy in a vacuum chamber after you mix it (use a power drill) before you pour it into your form. Dip a vibrating tool into your epoxy while it's still wet to help it flow into crevices and remove air pockets, I learned that trick doing concrete work. You will notice a huge difference in how the epoxy turns out , and have less touch up work too.
Gotta respect your dedication to mimicking Cam from Blacktail Studio in as many ways as possible. If it works it works
The table looks great btw
Beautiful table! I think you pretty much had to go with the black stain, it really highlighted the kintsugi gold more so than just unstained Mappa. Great job!! Hey you really rock the beard, kind of look like 80's Bruce!!!
I really enjoyed the process, and the base excellent with the style and design of the table. You are truly an artist extraordinaire!
I asked my husband to makes me one of these and he laughed at me. That is beautiful. I woulds like the gold in the small torn small pieces too.
A stunning pc of furniture! What a beautiful choice of colors. Talent beyond!
if you do lots of epoxy its definitely worth the $12 for a small paint mixer drill attachment to stir up your batches. its a game changer. just make sure to add a bit of de-bubbler to get out any air bubbles
