I'm a Renovation Advisor with Reborn Renovations in Calgary, and we had a team building event at the launch pad recently. We were blown away by the upstairs piece. It is amazing! It was not hard to track down where it came from due to this great video. I love your work and keep up the awsome videos. Hopefully we cross paths soon.
Wow! You guys have made so many incredible pieces but, this one is absolutely the crowning jewel. Just stunningly beautiful! Watching the logistics of that move and install had me holding my breath.. I can’t imagine how stressful that moment was for all of you! The LED lights show off every inch of gorgeousness, I hope more of your clients want to incorporate them into their pieces. Amazing job guys!
I’m not sure how or why but y’all should be killing it. Your content is good and y’all do everything right. I hope y’all continue to grow so we can keep watching awesome builds.
The first thing I thought about seeing that pallet is imagining the desk and couch that could be made from it in a few years. Man, that pallet wood trend hit me hard.
That is one gorgeous bar top! I was holding my breath as it was hoisted up. it's always unfortunate when a less aware crew mishandles the product, but at least it was recoverable. Fantastic work!
Great video!!! I was sweating and nervous watching the video, I can only imagine being there in person. Really liking the start to finish format - choosing wood, pouring resin, finishing, install, seeing the piece in use!!! Keep up the outstanding work!!!
This is totally the best yet! An amazing job, great team work, a beautiful timber and resin combination, the lighting is awesome and the filming is so professional it,s a joy to watch. Wow what more can I say, you all did really well. Thanks for the video, cheers Michael.
Now THIS is what I am talkin' about !!! Full feature of the burl surface, bottom, top, sides, and all around being able to be seen with the backlighting !!!
Acrylic is a thermoplastic. You can re-melt it, which is really easy to do at the sanded face level. Epoxy is a thermoset. You can soften it if you raise the temp higher than the cure temp, but you cannot "melt" it. It will be pliable and then it will burn. You have to buff it out.
Those pieces are SOOOOOOO SICK!!!! I haven't made any resin art yet myself but I came across it by accident here on RUclips, and I want to do it, and LEDs quickly came to mind, and here it is... ABSOLUTELY MIND BLOWING!!! I heard about you from Cam at Blacktail Studio.
That is likely the coolest looking top I've seen. Great work guys. I've been a building contractor for the last 25yrs and you really have me considering a side gig and starting to learn this process so I can offer clients something "one off" and that no other can. Thanks for showing us the amazing items your team creates
You guys always do great work! Super awesome to see it all come together and how it looked. My only question now is, when is Dylan getting his haircut?
I've personally done probably 50+ Bar top resturants' bar tops and epoxy pours and every couple of years came back and done re-pours over a 20 year span for mostly the same clients/ bar owners in multiple states and abroad. One thing Ive learned through oit the years, especially in the construction phase of bar build outs is always work from the finishes backwards and complete all the prepwork in structual/ weight loads, low maintenance, water proof materials ect... the mistake on having to add brackets supports and most likely no solid backing should have been addressed by the G.C. in the framing phase . A couple 4x4 Pt stud posts @ multiple locations and marked locations on a set of asbuilt plans and alot of photos of the framing w/ Dimension spec locations is cheap and a huge time and cost saver. As for your video, a very excellent quality professional job done w/very well thought professionalism. Your company represents our trades very well. Just a suggestion : the Equipment Jacks you used I've used setting 1,000lb marble columns to lift up to 2nd floor locations. They were a back saver and I doubted the main stairs would support the weight w / just 1 column and 6 to 8 mens weight on top of that. Strap your material and use multiple lifts. A little trick I did was lay a 3/4 plywood runner coarse on the floor @ the front end wheels to compensate for the weight of my materials tipping the Jacks down. Thank you again for a great video. Always a joy seeing the youth take great pride in the trades. We are a dying breed these days
Wow, That was an intense build and installation. You have great workers that believe and practice teamwork. Question; When you use your chilling table(s) that use cold water, is the water recycled? Just curious.
Absolutely the most beautiful work of art I’ve ever seen done with epoxy and I was literally on the edge of my seat during that build! I’m beyond impressed! You and your team are the best of the best! 👍🏼💐🍷🍻👏😜😎
That’s one hell of a video and an incredible install beautiful table. I’ve got several tables I’m doing for a commercial business that’s gonna get a lot of wear and tear on the top just like yours what was the process to use to make sure the top doesn’t scratch in such a abusive environment
So Nice! -- QUESTION -- @ 1:45 What is the make and model of your table saw used to cut those large burrles of wood? I can't recognize that saw but it looks really safe.
I’m just curious if the cleaners scratched it then does the ceramic protect against this in the future? Will it be higher maintenance because of the scratching?
The ceramic absolutely makes a difference but it could still be scratched if someone runs an abrasive over it. That’s actually what happened with the cleaners, they used an abrasive cleaning pad. The ceramic also allows for easy repairability!
Sweet Lordy! What a work! I wish I knew guys like you in Finland. Such talents. Such dedication. This work is too handsome to not to watch. God bless your backs and lungs. :) Greetings.
Hey guys awesome job. I love your guys work been following you for quite a while. I have worked with those hand crank jacks more than I'd like to admit haha in setting up concert stages and big heavy trust. I have ran into the same issues you guys did where stuff wants to slide off. So either tie a lifting strap and a shackle around it so it can't slide off Or if you're in a situation like you guys were where you need to lift up and slide you guys could put little blocks at the end of the forks so that nothing can slide off and Just use a c clamp or any type of clamp to hold the blocks. 👌
Great Scott that is beautiful and you guys do a great job. Wish I had the money to afford a coffee table. I am curious, would a small autoclave work after you pour in the mold?
WOWWWWWW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU DID A AMAZING JOB WITH THIS DOOR ALL OF YOU AND WELL ESPECIALLY THE ONE WHO FORSEED IT ALL FOR THE MOST PART BUT EVERYBODY DID AMAZING AS WELL . SHOULD BE VERY PROUD PROUD PROUD FOR THE CRAFTSMANSHIP N CREATIVETY AND ALL THE HOURS OF HARD ASS WORK . BUSTED ASS IS A UNDERSTATEMENT . GREAT JOB . IT LOOKS SO AMAZING .IMPRESSIVE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow - this turned out incredible! im so impressed with how the custom lighting design worked out - it's absolutely stunning!! also I hope they fired that cleaner! haha good work guys
I know I keep repeating this but BFWC's crew are artist. that Buckeye burl adds so much depth to the bar top is amazing. I bet some of the crew had to change shorts when the bar top started to slide off the forks. LOL Stay safe
Once again you have delivered. That’s an unbelievably stunning bar. Well bloody done guys. And maybe, just maybe you could take golf lessons - that ‘swing’ was terrific 😂 ps, what did Charlie think of the bar tops 🤔
What a brilliant effort!!! Thank you for sharing it with us. My only question...how did you keep from gutting the folks that scratched up the surface immediately after installation? I think the phrase "heads will roll" was made for exactly this situation....lol

Holy cow. Not sure how you guys stayed so calm. Watching the installation made me nervous.

I love the wood. The smaller pieces with the led's look amazing. 👍👏
Thank you so much Debbie!
The sheer scope of this project is so daunting. It's really impressive that you could even attempt something this huge!
We love a challenge 😎
It’s not that BIG of a project when it pays in excess of $100K. Beautiful, Creative beyond imagination,perfectly executed!
You guys are just plain awesome!!! Those bar tops are beautiful.
We appreciate it Doug!
Whew! That lift of the large bar top was heart stopping but what a show stopper. Beautiful work.
Haha ours were too! Thanks Patricia!
You guys do awesome work! You have been one of my inspirations to grow my content creation of my business!
Thank you so much! We love to hear that we have inspired people
Absolutely great job!! Give your guys a raise for this one.

Very nice work. The lighting underneath brings the bar top to life. Worked perfectly with the slick look of the location.

Stunning!
Thank you April!

Are you concerned that the tops could be scratched again like they were right before the grand opening?
Thank you Donavan!
And not really, but if it does we should just be able to sand it and finish again on-site!
