- I’m making a dining table from ash logs and epoxy resin, and I flatten it with a homemade flattening jig. I’m also using the Shaper Origin for inlays and the Domino XL for joinery on the tablebase. I couldn't have done all the resawing without my Laguna 18BX bandsaw.
The table is for sale here:

Jespers notes about the video:
All the wood in this build is sourced 100 meters from my workshop, where about 50 ash trees have been dead for more than 10 years due to a flood. I’m talking about a customer that requested the table, and this is true. I had consistent contact with them during the build. It’s also true that the circumstances I mention in the video prevented them from paying for the table - they were especially hard hitten by the energy crisis - and so am I. It’s a real thing for all households in Europe. I didn’t want to pursue them for breaking our deal and they are really sorry about the situation - I’m sure they will be back another time when all this is over, and my thoughts are with all the brave people of Ukraine.
I’m very fortunate to have a lot of friends in the maker world. Some of them are participating in this video, and they are not being mean to me. Everything they say has been written by me for entertaining purposes. I started out making everything from pallet wood, and I love building from pallet wood. There is a pallet wood community out there, but we are NOT hunting each other down for not using pallet wood, but we do encourage each other to use reclaimed wood. I dramatized the bit with Mark Dainer, who is a very close friend, to make a funny statement about the pallet wood community and build up to a surprising end of the video. And my next video is a pallet wood build…
I have been able to get a good amount of tools in my shop over the last year. I’m not a full time woodworker, and because I also have another job that supports my cost of living, I’m able to put everything I make from the woodworking back as investments in tools in my shop. It has been all hard work, but you’re welcome to make a comment about how fortunate I am to have a shop full of woodworking tools that magically have appeared overnight. But just know that I take care of a dayjob, work in the workshop in the evenings and edit videos for RUclips many nights.

Hello Jesper,
I don't have my language in the subtitle :-) I think you forgot :-)... You are using strong and thick trees. I'm still far from the epoxy business. And someday I may try. You did the epoxy job. The use of epoxy is also a special skill. The detail is very like. Saw Mark :-) .. And Mark loves pallets :-) I love the classic hobbyist's handy leveling technique. The round swallows in the corners were cool. Epoxy prices are very high in our country. With the facilities of the place, a wonderful dining table has emerged with a more affordable cost. Your client will love this table. All the best. Congratulations. Proud of your rise. Cheers Jesper
Hello Mehmet, and sorry for replying so late. This table caused a lot of problems, but it was a very fun build, and I had a lot of fun with Mark and other of my friends, so it's all worth it. And there is no other table like this anywhere...!! I see your channel is growing also, you do a very good job! Ups I will fix the subtitles!! Take care Mehmet, see you soon.
If there's one thing I'm happy about in 2022, it's that I came across your channel. I am a beginner wood worker in my spare time, made a few things and sold them to locals, you're such an inspiration in what you do and your video quality is fantastic
That is awesome! In 2020 I was a total beginner and only made some stuff for my kids and wifey. RUclips and new maker-friends made me up the game a little. I can only encourage you to keep going and find some maker-friends...
Lol this video was made by a beginner woodworker. Throw some random chunks in a box and pour. Keep searching
@@mummsthaword1111 Hi Mike, I have never suggested other than I'm a beginner. Cheers mate
@@mummsthaword1111
Don't be a dick.
@@mummsthaword1111 who hurt you, Mike?
This is awesome! I need to get myself a Shaper Origin.
You should! And good thing you haven't got one just yet, as Gen 2 of it just released. Let me know how you're doing with it!
That hue of blue green is stunning and perfectly matched the area you’re from! My Dad prides himself on our ancestry and I can see him loving this
Lovely table. My husband and I enjoy your sense of humor. ❤
Nothing makes me happier than watching a Jesper Makes video. Obviously the woodworking is top notch, but its equally matched by an amazing sense of humor and truly impressive editing skills. Now all we need is some functioning SD cards so we dont miss out on any awesome footage!
Couldn't agree more! Just replaced them all!
Awesome vid. “If it looks straight, it is straight.” Words to live by.
Exactly 💯💯
just found this channel. amazing ingenuity, as a fellow artist and jokester i love the thinking outside the box plus the humor
Welcome to the channel, Jessica! Fellow artists and jokesters unite. Here's to thinking outside the box and a good laugh.
This is the best youtube channel i have ever found. I am so glad i stumbled on this gem of a woodworking channel. Both your humor and woodworking projects are right up my alley. Thank you Jesper.
Wow, thank you!
Inspirational and outstanding carpentry .........Your vids are a breath of fresh air
Thanks Robert...
That table is absolutely stunning!
Beautiful table
Thank you, Kevin! Glad you liked the table.
This table is so beautiful and stylish, I hope I will be able to make something as beautiful in the future
I'm sure you already can do that
@@JesperMakes ❤ Thanks for encouraging me, I'm still a noobie at woodworking but it's so much fun!
We are all noobies and just got started at some point.
Jesper this is absolute FIRE! love the canadian pat and pallet punter cameos. good luck selling the table. it's a work of absolute beauty my friend!
Thanks so much Andrew. Talk soon!
Your approach to making videos is stellar. I legitimately LOL’d at driving up to Portland.
Thanks 🙏
Luv your sense of humour guys makes it for me 😂👍good luck with the sale 👌
Thanks 🙏
Bloody brilliant Jasper, great work 👌🏼
Thanks 🙏👍👍
This table came out gorgeous, your best effort yet! Beautiful colors also....
Thank you so much!
That would look great in any viking house
So grateful DainerMade sent me over to ya. Love the collaboration, beautiful execution without even a plan, and the editing is above top notch. Time to binge some more
Thank you so much!
Jesper has a new video out, so I'll take a peek and come back to it later. No can do! I do take a peek, pause the thing and go make myself a cup of coffee...it's like a good book, you can't stop reading!
Sorry the sale didn't go through. That epoxy is some expensive stuff! If I was loaded, I would buy it for sure!
I am sure someone in your neck of the woods will step up, after all you just need one buyer. See ya, Jesper!
Thank you so much Juliet. I hope you're doing fine? See ya soon!!
It is always a good day when a jesper video is out !
Glad you think so!
So good. Love the table and the comedy from down under 😀
Yeah 😂
Now i know the reason for you to come up with a new vid after a longer period. The table is really a beauty and i love the way you assemble the legs 🙂
I wish, you get it sold soon enough. Maybe take half the costs for the build before building such a project to not get dropped of ice cold like that again.
I already annoyed you via instagram but i just love the rustic workshop, your way of creating and the way of telling a little story in a vid and the hard work. Appreciation will follow mate ;-) Greetings from germany
Hi my friend, many many thanks for your comment and support. I love to communicate with you on all the platforms, and I think it's one of the great things with RUclips, all the advice I get and all the new people i get to meet. This is my very first super thanks, and i have now set it up so I'm getting an alert if it happens in the future! Sorry for the late reply. If you send me your coordinates via DM I'll send you a little gift! This video in particular was a little hard, because so much happpend, both in regards to the project and the customer, but also in my parents house, where I needed to go and stay with them, and I still do, so I'm way behind in the comments. Thanks again!
This is crazy! I hope you got a deposit. Beautiful table.
Yeah, deposits are a must in this game, right? 😄 Ever tackled a table project that made you question your sanity?🛠☕
@@JesperMakes well I am kind of a beginner woodworker so I question my sanity every time I walk into the shop. 😂
@@coolabahwoodworking The old “what the hell am I doing” vibe. Yup. I know how you feel mate 👍
@@jackthomson73 😂😂😂😂 exactly
sounds like you both know the thrill of the "what the hell am I doing" moment. It's like a rite of passage for every woodworker, isn't it?
Im here from Mark, and now I see him in Your films, hilarious ;)
We created the perfect loop 😂
I love the music in the end
Thanks...
This is literally the first epoxy table I liked on RUclips Bravo Jesper!!!
wow really!! Thanks
Love these videos, you always make me smile.
I'm so glad!
Lovely table. Even better production.
The fact that this “client” put 3 week pressure on you to finish this build and then said “my electric bill is too high” and absolutely ditched you is a criminal act. At least you got their $2,500 deposit, correct? Maybe when this sells, you’ll work out even better in the end.
The Creative Woodworking sarcasm was really good too, lol!
Hi Richard, thanks for your concern, it was a little more complicated IRL, but it will all work out for the better. Thanks
I'd say you found your style with this one. Its unique.
Thanks Branden. Appreciate it.
And the price keeps going Up & Up💰!
Energy prices do for sure..
Great job! Beautiful table. I wish you luck in getting it sold quickly.
Thanks so much!
So good! Loved the short story inbetween 😂
Thanks, I had a lot of fun with those...
Fantastic videos my friend, very relatable in your approach to woodworking. Greetings from South Carolina, USA.
Thanks John
Just finished the video!!! So sorry your clients fell through - hope you sell it quick
Amazing work
I hope so too!
Get to the "chopper" no no "pallet wood!" Absolutely fantastic table Jasper. Hope you get it sold the shots at the sea show off what a great job you have done.
Thanks my friend. I'm really happy to hear from you mate. Cheers
That was beautiful.
What is that router magic you possess? That my amaze-balls!!!
No magic, just trial and error. Mostly error.
Oh I hope someone has bought that table mate. 👍🏻.
I hope so too 😬😬🙈
No pallet wood and now a shaper origin? Oh my Jesper!!!😂 Ill let you slide this time! Very nice table!!!
Phew, thanks!
@JesperMakes thanks for your time on Instagram today!
You're absolutely welcome
Loved the video. Nice to see you have a sense of humor. The table looked fantastic. Thanks for sharing and good luck finding a buyer.
Awesome! Thank you!
Loved the music in this one though haha! Really like the cooperation with the other RUclipsrs, keep it going!
Thanks, that's the plan . 🙏
Absolute talent and skill mad respect to you. Today I chopped up so kindle ready for the winter in the uk and made a whole basket full. Keep up the great content ❤
Nice work!
So gooood you, the guests, the work !
Thanks mate
The table is gorgeous! I love your ingenuity!
Thanks Amber. Take care ❣️
Loved it, only found you today via your Australia buddy went to Etsy but it’s sold 🎉
Awesome! Thank you!
That is such a nice table jesper
Thanks, I'm very glad to hear that...
Only half way through the video and already love it - awesome work!!
Good to know thanks 👍👍
This guy is just amazing,,,,,, the cameos and puns are gr8 too, he needs waaaaaaaaay more likes and subs
Yes he does, but he's also a patient guy... 😂😂
I love watching these videos. The amazing woodworking and witty humor always put a smile on my face! Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much!
Enjoyed the Cam mention that was funny
Hehe, thanks.
What a incredible table!!
Hi, thanks for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it. Take care. Cheers from Denmark.
HEY jESPER,
i like the style of this table, just i don't like these slices...( let me put it this way i want to be honest with you.
...not presentable... )
but i love the rest. instead of slices, i will use thick 4-inch planks and occasionally chop the edges with an ax to make it look even more rustic.
these table legs are
AWESOME...
and by the way i SUBSCRIBET immediately.
I want to see more, much more.
Thank you for being there with new ideas.
I mean it from the heart.
greetings from Germany.
Thanks 🙏 means a lot. Best, Jesper
Viking Teir Awesomeness- Beautiful table, content is always fun and enjoyable with great music.
Thank you kindly - cheers mate
Älskar det du gör! Ska försöka att starta mitt eget hobby företag när alla uppgifter är klara! När jag är redo ska jag be dig om tips hur man lyckas! ;)
Please just ask all the questions you'd like. Lykke til!
This is another great build Jesper, gutted that your client bailed out after the build was done.
Perhaps next time you will secure a hefty deposit on your next commission build project
They say that something is only worth what someone is willing to pay..... but bespoke always attracts a premium price.
Thanks Craig, good points!
I'm really enjoying your videos
Thanks very much!
This is beautiful Jasper.
Thanks!
Awesome work. and I loved the video style as well!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very entertaining video! Thanks
You're welcome, thanks a lot
As an import Dane... Yes I think it is worth it.... Dude, never change.. The content is TOP NOTCH and the product is just absolutely immaculate.
Your hard work will pay huge dividends!!
mange tak
Thanks, so glad to have you in Denmark.!!
@@JesperMakes you should do a workshop.. The Pallet kind :) ... I would 100% attend to that. Learn to make awesome life lasting furniture from reclamed wood :)
That’s an amazing build and video of course. Loves the cameos hahaha
Thank you! 😁
Fantastic work Jesper!
Thank you! Cheers!
Always a inspiration to watch your videos keep up the great work
Thanks, will do!
Love your work Men!! Cheers from Argentina!!!
Much appreciated!
Despite no pallets being used it’s one hell of a nice table! Shame your client dropped out, as others said maybe take a 50% deposit next time you get an order. I’m sure the table will sell soon though, it’s really good. Cheers!👍🏻
Thanks, very kind of you
Top stuff mate... and look at that, the resin held first time! You are learning well. You certainly have a keen eye for framing a shot and a great talent for telling a tale. Enjoy those nice tools, you have earned them.... though I hope the epoxy was sponsored on this one ;) If you had put hairpin legs on this I would have ensured the Roman interpretation of my gestures was implemented :P Now go make Dainer happy and bust up some pallets :D
James! Thank you mate, I really crossed my fixit fingers that you wouldn't be too unhappy with the way I misused your generosity. Nope, not yet sponsored by any epoxy brand .. winkwink ... haipin legs wasen't really on the table at any point, but they made a good contrast to the monsters I eventually produced! Now onto the pallet stuff!
Awesome table. Love your creativity and ingenuity 👍
Thanks Matt, this was a fun build!
WE NEED MORE PALLETS!!!!
Yes!! 😍
It looks amazing! I'm not a fan of "cookies" but with the light coming through the epoxy and that cross shape it's really dope! The legs are a really cool idea! I'm also impressed it still looks modern despite the use of cookie slices. Btw this is why I'd never do "idk make what you want with some X motives" kinda stuff, I hear "viking" and my brain goes straight to some rustic live edge/"poorly" chisel finished slab (you know, like textured kinda thing) with gnarled branches people throw in the fireplace as legs. And old norse insults carved in with a knife Haghia Sophia style lol
I have to admit I wasn't a fan of cookies either, but I have started to like end grain, and then cookies just crept in.. Thanks for your comment, much appreciated!
Absolutely awesome job buddy. One of a kind and just incredible keep it up 👍
Thanks, will do!
love the look of the table. i love to have it. what a statement piece it sell soon.
Think so, yes
God love it you guys r so funny and got so much talent and skills
Thanks Luke!
Wow, beautiful work. I’m sure you’ll have no problem selling it.
Hope so! Cheers Mark...
Great work Jesper. Viking Epoxy Table - perfect 😄 I had no idea epoxy was so damn expensive. And sorry to hear about the clients not paying - I hope you sell it soon man.
Thanks 🙏
Mate the table is great but your videos are absolutely the business !!! Incredible. Good to see you back !!!
Thanks very much!
"I do anything I can to avoid math" - that one really killed me :)
haha, thanks mate
Great video, champ :D Hope you get the table sold. And though I personally don't mind you doing other project than pallets, I have to say I do enjoy the pallet creations the most.
Thanks for the tips!
First time I see one of your video : very, very , very good. So good in fact I'm a new subscriber. I had so much fun with your video and the table is beautiful : I would have had a drink around this table with you, but I'm sure we would have been too many.
Thanks Richard, perhaps some day we will meet and have a drink..
Damn that is a very beautiful table
Thanks I was sure everybody would hate it. Cheers mate
*You're one of the best storytelling makers on youtube Jesper, and you keep getting better and better at it! Well done!* Also, I'd like to say something nice about Mark's acting... _I'd like to_ .....I just can't think of what... 😆😆
Thanks Mario, that means a great deal coming from you, thanks very much. And Mark is brilliant IMHO, I just tried to do something for Mark's video, talking to camera is not easy... And in still laughing over your micro-wa-weee 😂😂😂
Turned out great! Glad to see a video and I’m sure this will sell quickly.
Thanks a bunch!
Sorry that those people bailed on U,cause that is a very nice piece of functional art .👍😁🙏😇
It was a bit more complicated than told in the video, I gave some more info in the description. Thanks for watching Kevin!
Absolute beauty Jesper 👍. Dainer doesn't seem to be happy about the lack of pallets, haha 😆
So true! I have started a new pallet project to avoid any trouble 😂
Love your videos man! I think it's awesome the wood working community is so supportive. Keep shouting out channels
Thanks! Will do!
Beautiful work!!!
Thanks Sally
Phenomenal video, Jesper, and I can't wait to see the next pallet project!
Very soon! Cheers Silas
It really looks very nice and I personally think it's a good thing you did not use the metall legs. It simply won't fit into sun, sea and vikings.... maybe with longaxes as legs...😂
Yeah I agree
Beautiful table. After the second time I had someone tell me they couldn't afford to pay me after spending my own money on supplies I started a down payment system where I won't even start planning a build without half the cost in my hand for materials. I've not had a single person back out since then
Same here!
@@JesperMakes it's so disheartening when you're trying to make a living at this and people can't value your time. Im so glad you've started that practice as well. Your mother in law has a wonderful table anyway and nothing beats that
Beautiful!
Thank you! Cheers!
Such a great video. Love to DF700! Would love to get a shaper origin but I don’t think they are sold in Australia. Love seeing the cameos by all the different makers!
Fingers crossed!
I like the funny bits you work into your videos. Also like to see you make-do with the tools you have rather than a shop full of special tools that most of us don't have. I have learned a lot from your videos!! Keep them coming, Jesper!!
Thanks 👍 I'm getting more and more tools but I started with absolutely no tools so being creative has always been a must. Thanks!
@@JesperMakes You are welcome!!
Inspirational man and super well done table and video! Keep on keepin on!
Thanks! Will do!
Love the table and the content! You guys make this stuff fun and amusing!
Glad to hear it!
Hola 👋 That was an awesome video but an even more impressive table, well done amigo 👏Already looking forward to your next video. I hope that table sells soon for you. Take care and have a good one, Adios 👊🏼
Thank you so much 😀
Very nicely crafted table Jesper. Sucks that buyer pulled out after all that hard work. I'm no woodworker/business owner, but just a thought, can you not request a down payment before starting project? You'll still make a loss, but at least can recuperate some of the costs?
It was a special situation as I described in the description. Thanks for your thoughts matee.
Love your channel! Hopefully you were able to sell your table.
Thanks, and yes it sold!
brilliant mate! table AND vid 💪
Thanks 👍
I get so excited every time you post a new video and you never disappoint! Keep doing what you do because you're getting better every video and it is showing in your growing reach! Many thanks mate!
Thanks Sam, you are very kind. And Casey started posting again, these are exciting times!
@@JesperMakes I swear yt have stopped giving me alerts when people reply to me haha, came back to the video to watch again! Stoked that casey is posting again and back in NY!
