Video

Great video. Beautiful piece. I've worked with epoxy finishes several times. My key to get the micro bubbles removed is to go over the finish two or three times with the torch. Wait a few minutes between torches. But when you torch, make sure you have a light source in front of you as you are torching so the light shines off the surface as you torch. You can see the micro bubbles and see them pop as you torch them. Just finished a click that way, and the finished surface was pristine! Give it a try.

What's with the overly fancy name. It's a cutting board, a very nice cutting board.

Even cutting cheese with a spoon will leave a mark in any surface you put on top of that piece of wood

Tell everybody not to catch stuff on the board

Been a while since the last video, that’s all I’m sayin

For when russian roulette just seems too darn safe

I haven't done epoxy coated tables but have done a lot of mold making and casting. Pressure pots are good for casting under pressure because they smash the bubbles down. This makes them almost unnoticeable in the final product. When I am pouring epoxy or using silicone I use a vacuum chamber to draw the air out of the liquid. It works better than making the bubbles small. If you only compress they just end up finding each other again and getting bigger. I also agree with another post on here since you are using the pressure pot you should do the two passes at different times with the torch. You were likely compressing the bubbles down just before the pour and then over time they joined up and made the bubbles beneath the surface.

Have you tried putting the table in a mold then pouring the epoxy into the mold, then sanding down to the level you want, then polish. It will take a lot more epoxy and more sanding but should give you that perfect finish.

Not sure how anyone could hate on this work. Beautiful job 🎉

You really need to delete title of this video cuz all you use is EPOXY???!!

You just ruined it taking bark off!!!

Great way 👍 I’m definitely going to do it occasionally thanks for showing me a safe way or much safer way to do it 🎉

In my experience, the more porous the wood, the more bubbles you'll get. Usually takes a couple of epoxy soaking and hardening cycles to get rid of those.

You are OUT OF YOUR MIND!!

I was so upset by how much you slammed the wood around… you’re going to break something!

Why is this video still up after so many people have died?

I bought a controller for extra safety parameters ,I have a Plexiglas table with 3" drip edges to contain any liquidity put a 1/2 rubber mat in the Plexiglas box to put the piece on while it's fractal burning I also wear thick black rubber gloves making sure the floor is always dry I found it also to make a stand or place to hang each electrode on separately as to mot cause a short or make a accidental touch more importantly I make sure once it's powered on its always powered off before anything else is done ! Never touch the electrodes when the system is on remember !you are the kill switch the switch will kill you!

Awesome video mate, very informative.

I think dust may have been the culprit on the first finish

Wait where are you doing it at? Home? Seriously I'm not sure why CZcamsrs think they are bloody OSHA now. Shit I probably have more safety tools than y'all have tools.

This is really dangerous. Usually done with a microwave magnetron which, due to the way it’s wired , doesn’t trip out if you touch it.

Don't worry. No one wants to try this dumb shit at home

Seriously people, the DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME warning is really important here. That is 20000 volts creating that effect, it will kill you instantly, like dead dead

That is totally cool 👍

All these CZcams police 😂

Another person that doesnt understand water popping and only does it because he has seen other people do it. The downside of lots of self taught "experts" on CZcams.

Holding the wand is the stupidest way to do this.

The expensive machine seems to do more branching, but you would know that better than I. It also burns deeper. We would really like to hear your opinion. Is the expensive unit worth it? The voltage is lower, and the current is higher, by the advertising. The finished pieces are both excellent, and your professional attitude shows in your work. I would like to hear your pros and cons. Thanks!

That table knocked my eye balls out several times before you even done the complete finish. Lol. Good vid and good work.

I do this on the daily, its not dangerous if you use common sense. But every idiot thinking they can without any knowledge of how electricity conducts should receive their Darwin award.

why would you post your screw ups???

Did you use the flame 🔥 to remove the microbubbles after each pour or the last pours?

You made a beautiful piece. One bit of info i can lend to you (or those watching) is when wet sanding is don't use dust extraction once you get to 1000 grit and higher. The extractor can make your scratches worse. Plus hand sand your last grit twice by hand in the same direction. That was a trick I learned from doing auto body work.

I think you constantly emphasizing the danger is responsible, but reminding people its electrocution, not fire/heat is also a good idea

I've been binge-watching woodworking videos lately, and this one is by far one of the best I've seen. Such precision and finesse in every cut and carve

The attention to detail in this video is outstanding. Every step is explained thoroughly, making it easy for beginners like me to follow along. Kudos to the creator

Definitely nice pieces of wood! Love it

I like the way you burnt the wood and watching is fun!

Vacuum your epoxy before poring it

I have had luck hitting it with torches I hear the carbon dioxide pops bubles

Same voltage as, if not more than the electric chair! !

It's hard to use epoxy on a cookie. I have a hard time working with epoxy don't get me wrong it's beautiful if it works out..

I like the leg/support!

My friends son just died doing this

Youre just asking for it using that table saw like that without a fence. All it takes is that blade to bite down when that wood gets just a little bit off square with that blade.

I’ve never polished the table top after it dries. Maybe I’m doing something wrong but they looked good the few times I’ve done it this way.

Have you ever tried using a acrylic coating in the top. I think it would keep it protected and it would shine very nice. Just a thought. Also I like the homemade burner there seems to be more space In Between the branches . The lightening one make s me think of Chinese painting art . Just another thought.

Gorgeous table!!

Friend and co-worker just died from doing this yesterday as a hobby and his 10 year old son found him
