  • How to build a floating epoxy waterfall river table from a live edge slab. I used ecopoxy for the epoxy resin table and a nice live edge slab of cherry. This project had a lot of firsts for me including my first time to do a waterfall table, first time to weld, and first time learning how to pour epoxy resin. Enjoy this woodworking how to!

    A little LED lighting on the bottom would make that waterfall really stand out.

    • @tallman11282
      @tallman11282 6 лет назад +8

      I had the same thought, a strip of LEDs behind the waterfall would make it really pop.
      I understand not wanting to deal with a cord, though.

    • @phasegen

      @WaterspoutsOfTheDeep 6 лет назад +1

      Even better just get one of those cheap LED stripes that bend and just trim to the right length to cover the whole length of it.

    Dude, as a bonus, run some LEDs along the back and bottom, it'll just give a nice extra glow to the whole thing.
    Use RGB, not much more expensive, but you can play with more colors.

    solid craftsmanship dude. Packaging tape is something I wouldn't have thought of for keeping the miter joint clean. The few times I've done them I've used dowels joints and wood glue and a ton of sanding to clean the excess that pools out of the sides. I gotta remember this the next time I do woodwork.

  • @hal6562
    @hal6562 5 лет назад +4

    This is a different type of art. I'm intrigued, mainly because it always seemed like building was a ridged thing with little creativity or freedom with it. Always seemed very mathematical and like you needed to fit a form. It is, but it was way more expressive than I thought it could be. It's an odd perspective change.

    Brad, Great video. Working with epoxy is something I’ve always thought about doing. Your video intrigued and encouraged me. Couple of quick questions: how did you deal with the air bubbles, and do you have any projects lined up in the future where you plan to do a clear epoxy pour? Thank you for everything.

    • @Fixthisbuildthat
      @Fixthisbuildthat  6 лет назад +3

      JJ, the ecopoxy cures in 72 hours which lets all the bubbles release with no need for heat. Haven't considered a clear pour, don't really like the look

      I haven't used bitly -- same as Google short links? Or does it have advantages? Tracking the data is a great idea -- I've started using Google short links to track click throughs, and am finding that companies really like it when you can hand them the data. (Shout out to Ben for this idea in his WBC talk.)

      @Exloar 6 лет назад +23

      Because the 3/8" isn't a 10mm socket. It's a 9.5250mm socket. It's one of those make belive sizes imperialists use for some reason...
