This table arrived well packaged and on time. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxn94T8Mu1iMnsLCMNOI9srXSsLkI4JXKW Like another reviewer advised, I pulled everything out and made sure everything was included (everything was!). I built it alone and it took me about an hour. The color is great and for the price the lift part works well. As others have mentioned, it’s not the smoothest opening/closing, but it works. The screws do show, but I plan to order white sticker covers if that bothers us too much. Really happy with this table! UPDATE: it’s been over a year since we got this coffee table and we still love it! It gets HEAVY use as our dining table, foot rest, and school desk. Over time, the opening and closing mechanism has gotten smoother. I added a new photo with the white screw cover stickers. They blend in perfectly and make it look a little cleaner. 100% recommend!!!
Wow, you need congratulating on such a wonderful project, presented in such an excellent way. What a lovely change to listen to an expert without a load of unnecessary waffle. The video was to the point, accurate and extremely well delivered - well done! I loved the little trick of multiplying mm x m x m in order to automatically convert the volume measurement of cubic metres into a fluid measurement of litres - very neat! No wonder you’ve currently sold out of the product (as of August 18). Well done! 👍
Well said Neil... I felt exactly the same. This was a great video!! And now a part of my "saved" video collection. Thanks Rich for doing such a great job!!
I have watched a lot of videos on this subject - building the knowledge and confidence to have a go and I have to say this is by far the best one I have seen. Thank you!
I found building a router plane was essential. They pour epoxy and don't tell you that they wait as many as 3 days for it to dry. They don't tell you about how you can stir it for patterns in the epoxy or when to stir. They don't tell you how much it costs. I am thinking of starting a RUclips channel just to address all this stuff.
It came out great . I specially like that you took your time speaking clearly , you also explained all the tools you were using the measurements how you got it thank you so much
Great job, great result! Thank you!!! Only objection: you shoud show us more of final result in a film, allowing us to admire the table and enjoy the wiew from all sides!
This by far the most comprehensive video. Clear concise instruction, tips and information for success. I have decided to do this for my lower kitchen cabinets drawer fronts. I'm converting the doors to all drawers. Thank you so much!!!
I was so happy to see you use Danish oil and then still be able to buff the epoxy to clear again. I am in the middle of a project where the epoxy is level with the surface but I want Danish oil on the wood and also for the epoxy to be clear. Well done and thanks.
I love the table and the way you have explained this project very helpful I've watched alot of these as I'm thinking of having ago at it myself but haven't got all your awesome tools so will start small thankyou for the inspiration to do it with me luck I'll need it
Wow. Excellent channel and presentation. This is the next son and dad project! Thank you. I really like your saw. I think that listing the materials and breaking down their use in such a simple manner makes this presentation work.
I love the clarity on the finished product! I hope that some good stuff you used in those miters! I just finished my first river table and I'm pretty keen on trying it again!
That looks so good. I definitely want to give this a try! So glad that I've found this video because buying resin seems to be a minefield with other firms.
Thanks, we're really glad you like it. Yes, we are aware that there's a lot of products out there these days but... let's just say, perhaps they don't always perform as you might hope! Look forward to having you on board.
Haha, I don't think it's possible to put a video on RUclips without some dislikes. 300 out of nearly a million views isn't too bad. We're more focused on the 10,000 who appreciate what we've done and took their time to give us a like :D
Amazing video!! Learned a lot from it. I was thinking about starting this as a hobby. But never found good videos about learning it and explanations.. till now. Great video!!

You can get much cheaper resins around £60 for 10kg polyester resin if you wanted to make this. Its a really awesome looking finished piece. I wonder if you could find some way of suspending small models in the "river" of resin? You could add small lime carved kayaks or sailboats to create extra detail. Great video.
Unfortunately, polyester resins don't work for river tables because of their shrinkage although you're right that they are very cheap. Polyesters will shrink by quite a few percent during their cure which cause them to pull away from the wood. They also tend to crack when they're cast into something with multiple fixed dimensions (such as a gap of fixed length, between two planks of wood). as with two fixed dimensions. This is why you always see river table projects done using epoxy resin. Certainly you could add some interesting inclusions into the resin when you cast it!
Easy Composites Ltd Thanks that's great to know, just subscribed to your channel - videos really informative.

@@easycompositestv it's true, but that doesn't mean that following a right process you can't make a river table, i've done a few for people that don't have a big budget and they came out really good, still...I love your products tho!
If you're going to cut the whole surface off with a router at the end, probably don't need to worry about any dust settling on top at the resin curing stage. :)
This is true but there's always an outside chance that dust or dirt could sink down into the resin (below the surface that you're going to sand off) so it doesn't hurt to keep things tidy. Also, not everyone will route the surface flat, if you were leaving the whole table with a resin surface (and so you'd poured more resin over the whole surface) then you would probably be able to get away with just polishing the surface, in which case dust or dirt would be more of a problem.
Adelaide Moulding and Casting Supplies in Australia have epoxy resins available for this usage, as well as pearlex powders. I happen to work there, and can provide assistance if you'd like to inquire.
Wow RUclips is so listening to my life. I never watch these types of videos,and the past couple of days me and my mother have been sanding down a table and staining it. Well she’s talking about putting epoxy polystyrene to seal the table up and give it a shine. Well what do I know now?! I’m getting all kinds of diy tutorials on how to do it. Smh RUclips get a life and quit stalking me. Pls😂
it‘s because your smartphone is listening to you. try it. have a mock conversation with yourself about how much you would like to have let‘s say... baby toys. that you are definitely in the market for ‘baby toys‘. soon enough you‘ll see a lot of baby toys ads and your recommended feed will be full of baby toy reviews and such. same with texts emails phone calls, phisically lurking in specializeds shops (location services) and so on. AI connects the customer and the bussiness in the most efficient way. i noticed this like 5 years ago when i was looking for a job. soon enough igot hired. at a wood workshop and that's why i'm here now. working with wood has grown on me. so in a way AI formed me withits suggestions. makes you think how deep this goes...
Need to better set upyour table, use some kind of joint (domino, dowels ect) and create clamps rig to make perfect 45* angle. Simple way is using hot glue and wood scraps to make platform for clamps
lucydais x it looks like it hasen’tbeen cut straight, has a slight curve. I would make sure it’s cut straight and possibly use a thinner glue, you can see that there was glue in the middle of the mitre. There are super strong timber glues that are thin that can make seamless mitres. I use them at work for my timber joins. Lots of tape and some glue. Close the mitre up tight and tape and clamp it. After sanding should look 100% seamless.
Being a carpenter and made these tables.....your mitre joints are horrendous. Good video though for beginners looking to get into these kinda projects. Glass cast is also an excellent product
Trust me, we've got this! The difference isn't much; the relative density of GlassCast 50 is between 1.07 and 1.1 meaning that at most it's 10% different in density to water. Although generally there is correlation, viscosity (thickness) is not directly related to density. Also, GlassCast is actually pretty low viscosity, especially compared with more conventional epoxies.
After watching this I've bought everything I need to do this job.... even a rotary polisher. But is there a difference between a rotary polisher and a dual action polisher - will this make a difference in any way? Thanks
That sounds like you're talking about two different pieces of equipment. A rotary polisher is the machine we use at the end to polish the carbon fibre, you would typically be fitting the polisher with a foam pad (or wool mop) and using it with a polishing compound. A 'dual action sander' (known as a DA) is a type of orbital sander. That's the yellow machine you see us using earlier on and fitting abrasive paper to. You can't use one machine for both tasks.
You need a high quality clear epoxy casting resin for the best results. Most other resins are either not suitable for thick casting or lack the clarity or finish that the correct resins offer.
It 's really a very beautiful explanation and I congratulate you on the true creativity that you have provided and which you will provide ....In fact, I'm working on a product like this exactly and in two or three weeks my product will be ready.....But I have some difficulties in the necessary materials since I am in Arab countries in Egypt and I am a Syrian nationality....Very soon I will show on RUclips producers as well ....Thank you and good luck
Thanks, very helpful. I have acquired some old cottage doors and want to make tables from them so have been looking for ideas. I have 7 doors so maybe one will go through this process. On the website I see you have a shopping list of all materials. I think it would be handy if on the same page you can edit the quantity so we don't get the error.
Easy Composites Ltd yes the only problem is you can't add everything to the basket on the page and then adjust in shopping cart as I get an error code {"errorStatusCode":"500","errorCode":"USER_ERROR","errorMessage":"Please enter a value for amount."}
Easy Composites Ltd I'm using an iPhone so on RUclips it opens it in safari. I tested the site on chrome on my iPhone and yes you're correct it works fine. Obviously just a compatibility issue. I have now set my preference to chrome when opening links in RUclips. Impressed with the products, videos, ebooks and website, great work!
Hi, thanks again for the effort in producing these tutorials, i'm making a river table with glasscast 50 and i want to put the Glasscast 3 over the top of the finished table. If i use 240 grit paper will i lose any of the depth of the river i.e. will the scratches disappear ?
No, it will be absoluately fine. I know it's pretty scary leaving your river with a scratched (example 240 grit) finish but when you pour the GlassCast 3 over the top all of the scratches will disappear and you should be able to see straight through again.
On this table, the outer wood surfaces are NOT resin coated, only the bottom of the table and the river itself has resin on it. If you want to completely encapsulate your wood in resin, then you must leave a small gap for the resin to flood into or brush on layers of resin on the wood edge after the main pours have cured.
If you're careful with how you leave them (i.e. try to scrape the resin down to the bottom) then use should be able to simply 'crack out' the cured resin from the bottom of the buckets (it won't stick to the polypropylene buckets). Where this isn't possible then you'll need a solvent such as methylated spirits, white spirit or acetone to clean uncured epoxy/hardener.
Great presentation...very clear. Thanks for all the links to the products. The key struggle is finding the right timber merchant and I am wondering for the more technical bit that requires specialist tools I wonder if specific workshops can do this for a small fee.
You should be able to get the timber merchant to cut the wood to size and belt sand or plane it flat for you for a small charge. You then just need to to the actual making of the table as seen in the video.
Question: how strong is the bond between the wood pieces and the epoxy “river” middle? If you would put four legs in the four corners could it break along the middle? Would you need to add transversal supports between the legs?
The bond is very strong. This is because we stripped the bark and loose material from the "live" edge and gave it a good key. The resin soaks slightly into the wood surface getting a very good bond.
The resin itself when fully cured is water resistant, however it is not recommend for permanent immersion of soaking with water. So we would not recommend it for use as a bench in the bath itself but it might be ok outside the water. Steam over time may eventually cause issues on the wood, although that is very much down to how you treat and finish the wood rather than specifically a resin issue. Long term high humidity may eventually dull the resin finish but nothing that couldn't be polished back up.
@@easycompositestv excellent. A bench outside the water is what I had in mind. It would have a moderate amount of steam, but only for short periods ata time. Thanks for the tip about repolishing
Looks great and the way you explain it it looks so much easier that it probably is! You're a great teacher and your art is awesome!! Do you have any problems with bubbles in resin- do you have to use a pressure pot?...
They're not really an issue, no - So long as you have properly sealed the wood and if the resin itself is at or above 20C it will self-release air very well. You can aid it with a Blow-torch or heat gun on a low setting (as in the video) but whilst a pressure pot or vacuum chamber would do no harm, they shouldn't be necessary.

Cleanest epoxi table that I have seen, and I have seen plenty... Hats off!
What these videos never show is how much time this work actually takes. Just did my second table. Built my own legs, 40 hours work over two weeks.
Did it turn out well?? Any tips for people who are wanting to do it for the first Tim's?
First time*
I found building a router plane was essential.
They pour epoxy and don't tell you that they wait as many as 3 days for it to dry.
They don't tell you about how you can stir it for patterns in the epoxy or when to stir.
They don't tell you how much it costs.

those mitres look horribl but the rest lookss great
I agree, what did they do wrong? What would be a better method?
lucydais x it looks like it hasen’tbeen cut straight, has a slight curve. I would make sure it’s cut straight and possibly use a thinner glue, you can see that there was glue in the middle of the mitre. There are super strong timber glues that are thin that can make seamless mitres. I use them at work for my timber joins. Lots of tape and some glue. Close the mitre up tight and tape and clamp it. After sanding should look 100% seamless.
Exactly.
Nothing wrong with the miters themselves, but adding a layer of resin can make the alignment look a bit off.
yeah even tho the whole table looks awesome, those mitres rly are an eyesore to look at as a carpenter :´D
Great presentation and demonstration. Qua-li-teeee! Cheers Bro!
Being a carpenter and made these tables.....your mitre joints are horrendous. Good video though for beginners looking to get into these kinda projects. Glass cast is also an excellent product

1 liter does not = 1 Kg unless you are using a liquid with the same specific density of water
You're blowing my mind! ;o) ...It's plenty close enough for the purposes of estimating, which is all we're doing in that calculation.
You should check on it, I think with a liquid as thick as the resin is the difference would be a fair bit
Trust me, we've got this! The difference isn't much; the relative density of GlassCast 50 is between 1.07 and 1.1 meaning that at most it's 10% different in density to water.

Very well done and explained.
A really Fun project with 400€ of resine...
Well, we used 10kg of resin. Even including VAT the resin would be £166 (which would be 188€ ).
Which is $302 Canadian!!! Wow!
Cool products but way too expensive for me!!
Meddy Saber there's lots of places. Maybe not that same brand but the same process. Home Depot or any hardwood or woodworking store will have it
Arizona Heatwave and approx 12500 philippine peso. Damn thats expensive
or 13 camels! damm thats expesive
the giant saw that he use to cut the dead tree carcass in half also cost like 1000 camels
Can I use epoxy primer? Can't find any other type in my location.
You need a high quality clear epoxy casting resin for the best results. Most other resins are either not suitable for thick casting or lack the clarity or finish that the correct resins offer.

Easy Composites Ltd yes the only problem is you can't add everything to the basket on the page and then adjust in shopping cart as I get an error code
{"errorStatusCode":"500","errorCode":"USER_ERROR","errorMessage":"Please enter a value for amount."}
What version of windows and what browser are you using?
We have checked firefox and chrome and all appears fine from this end.
Easy Composites Ltd I'm using an iPhone so on RUclips it opens it in safari. I tested the site on chrome on my iPhone and yes you're correct it works fine. Obviously just a compatibility issue. I have now set my preference to chrome when opening links in RUclips. Impressed with the products, videos, ebooks and website, great work!
I think we found the problem and have corrected it now. If you have any more problems let us know. Thanks for pointing it out!

Nicely done and very well presented. I don't know if anyone else had the same thought when the miters were being cut - Pen blanks! 🙂
Hi, thanks again for the effort in producing these tutorials, i'm making a river table with glasscast 50 and i want to put the Glasscast 3 over the top of the finished table. If i use 240 grit paper will i lose any of the depth of the river i.e. will the scratches disappear ?
No, it will be absoluately fine. I know it's pretty scary leaving your river with a scratched (example 240 grit) finish but when you pour the GlassCast 3 over the top all of the scratches will disappear and you should be able to see straight through again.
@@easycompositestv awesome thanks and keep up the good work, loving the resin it's so easy to use 😁
Hi, your work is amazing. I'm just thinking how do you make sure that enough resin gets to outer (vertical) sides of wood
On this table, the outer wood surfaces are NOT resin coated, only the bottom of the table and the river itself has resin on it. If you want to completely encapsulate your wood in resin, then you must leave a small gap for the resin to flood into or brush on layers of resin on the wood edge after the main pours have cured.
@@easycompositestv to you use the clear resin or can the blue dyed resin be used??
@@easycompositestv also can you include a link for the dye. I can't find them little bottles
Stunning work and great video
excellent video, crystal clear process! loved the amazing table and you certainly got my attention throughout. Can't wait to make my own😃
Thanks Daniel! We really appreciate the comment, good luck if you do try this out yourself!
Housekeeping question, what do you use to clean the mixing buckets? Soap and water, or some kind of solvent?
If you're careful with how you leave them (i.e. try to scrape the resin down to the bottom) then use should be able to simply 'crack out' the cured resin from the bottom of the buckets (it won't stick to the polypropylene buckets). Where this isn't possible then you'll need a solvent such as methylated spirits, white spirit or acetone to clean uncured epoxy/hardener.
This really looks great. I really want to try making one of these now, but i'm really very bad with my hands....
Hello bro i really like your work does only walnut wood use in this work or any other wood also please tell me which types of woods we use
You can use pretty much any kind of wood for these kinds of projects.

It’s not a RUclips composite video without a British dude laying down some resin.
Excellent work!
Great tutorial!! I've never seen a 9 written like a "g". I was wondering how to do this though, thank you!
Great presentation...very clear. Thanks for all the links to the products. The key struggle is finding the right timber merchant and I am wondering for the more technical bit that requires specialist tools I wonder if specific workshops can do this for a small fee.
You should be able to get the timber merchant to cut the wood to size and belt sand or plane it flat for you for a small charge. You then just need to to the actual making of the table as seen in the video.
Question: how strong is the bond between the wood pieces and the epoxy “river” middle? If you would put four legs in the four corners could it break along the middle? Would you need to add transversal supports between the legs?
The bond is very strong. This is because we stripped the bark and loose material from the "live" edge and gave it a good key. The resin soaks slightly into the wood surface getting a very good bond.
@@easycompositestv Thank you!
Would the final product be water proof? Would it be suitable for use in a spa as a bench?
The resin itself when fully cured is water resistant, however it is not recommend for permanent immersion of soaking with water. So we would not recommend it for use as a bench in the bath itself but it might be ok outside the water. Steam over time may eventually cause issues on the wood, although that is very much down to how you treat and finish the wood rather than specifically a resin issue. Long term high humidity may eventually dull the resin finish but nothing that couldn't be polished back up.
@@easycompositestv excellent. A bench outside the water is what I had in mind. It would have a moderate amount of steam, but only for short periods ata time. Thanks for the tip about repolishing
Looks great and the way you explain it it looks so much easier that it probably is! You're a great teacher and your art is awesome!! Do you have any problems with bubbles in resin- do you have to use a pressure pot?...
They're not really an issue, no - So long as you have properly sealed the wood and if the resin itself is at or above 20C it will self-release air very well. You can aid it with a Blow-torch or heat gun on a low setting (as in the video) but whilst a pressure pot or vacuum chamber would do no harm, they shouldn't be necessary.
Amazing Video!
Thanks for the tutorial ! Very clear !
