Hi, I'm Glen. If you can see it, I can saw it... Broken Thorn Designs exists to make unique and functional custom designs. I blend wood, metal, resins and whatever else it takes to make that idea come alive.
Designing A Custom River Bar: Part 1 - Making and Installing I-beam Brackets
A friend of mine wanted a custom epoxy river bar mounted on a cabinet that was already installed. He wanted it made out of walnut and bright blue epoxy. In this video, I created custom 90-degree I-beam brackets to hold the custom bar in place. I used 1/8th in. flat steel to create the bracket shape and then more 1/8th in. flat steel to create the I-beam affect. If you have questions, please comment below. Thanks for watching!

When a friend of mine approached me about making this for him, he was actually asking me "How would you make this chess board?" What would make it a unique chess board? How would you think through it? How would you integrate epoxy into it? This video is my answer. This video shows how I made this epoxy chess board. The three main materials are walnut, maple and epoxy. It was incredibly fun maki...

magnifique, du très bon travail et soigné
Such a nice chess board.
Hermosamente único 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love your design! Great video. I used my wife's voice saying 'I love you', and added an LED strip. Looks great over the bed. czcams.com/video/qRlHNdCnzQc/video.htmlsi=EQpUNWzAtHjVhRJd
Suggestion, every epoxy guru uses a butane torch to get rid of topical bubb;es. Really destroyed the look of the epoxy portion of the table. Cheers.
I take the commission for the project, then sub contract someone who knows what they are doing.
Well played on answering the question in the title…
All I can is that Board is Smoking !
Thanks!
I injoyed every moment of your performance ❤
Thank you!
How much$$$$
Feel free to dm me, thanks for commenting.
How much cost sir
Feel free to dm me, thanks for commenting.
WOW, amazing detail and skill in making this, thanks for sharing the video.
Glad you liked it!
Your attention to detail and finesse is brilliant, but how does this design account for wood movement? It looks to me the bordered pieces with grain perpendicular to the rest of the board will likely split along the glue line over time.
Some people have asked about wood movement previously as well. It has not split anywhere as of yet and it has been over three years with multiple season changes happening. But, it is a good question to ask. I think that the movement is so small that it has not affecting the outer border. Thanks for commenting.
@@BrokenThornDesigns Awesome, great to know for the future. Thanks for the update :)
If you're a wood worker this video counts a Cornhub worthy. This is truly one of the most satisfying videos I have ever seen.
I hate Subbing. I barely "like" Videos but you, You sir get the bell.
Thanks, lol.
Thank you
صناعتك عجيبة وممتا ز ة
Thank you so much!
Hi from Australia. Loved the video and chessboard. My next project/video is going to be a chessboard. Have subscribed and will be watching more of your videos. Regards James One Handed Maker
Thanks James! Australia! I love Nick Pedulla from Sydney. He is such an inspiration to the craft. Look me up on insta, and send pics of your chess board
I just subbed to your channel, love the floating table top
Totally agree, Nick's work and videos are amazing. Hope to drop and say hello to him one day.
Really nice. Truly awful music though :)
I actually had different royalty-free music picked, but there were to many copywrite issues so I had to change the music. I thought it was epic before, but I agree, now it's meh...
Very nice work
Thank you! Cheers!
"How would you make this chess board?" (First part of the title to this video). I'd like to say I'd make it much like yours... but I'd be lying! I have nowhere near your skills, and only about half the tools, so... That's one stunning piece of work-- just gorgeous! I enjoyed every nanosecond of that video!
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Oh man. Your work, your machinery, talent. Just the best ever. Ive been struggling placing fillets between the cross cuts but now I can cut them in. Brilliant.
Glad I could help!
Nice work. You even donated some blood to it! It's officially yours!
That's really funny, well played.
I would have found a way to dado in an Led strip that projects from underneath to the epoxy strips. Always handy to have a plunge/hand router in the shop if not a router table. I also don't know why people keep going straight from an orbital to their finish coat. All to often an orbital sander will leave micro swirls that can show up unless sanded out by hand using a sanding block.
The LED strip is a great idea, thanks for commenting.
really enjoyed watching this build. 👍 having attempted my first few live edge resin clocks recently, I fully appreciate the time and effort gone into building this.👏👏 Would have been interesting to see what it would have looked like if you did a jet black resin between the squares, before then adding the borders and having just the white pearl resin on the borders. NOT a criticism, just thinking out loud. Bravo again!
That's a great idea, having a contrast color, nice!
Effing amazing!
Thanks!
Great Work. I have stolen your Idea with the Epoxy and did it the same way. Thanks for sharing Greetings from Austria
Thanks for commenting! Did you film any of it? I would love to see it!
👍👌
Thanks!
Great idea I think I’m gonna steal it from you and use it on my next cutting board. Thank you.
Go for it!! If you make a video for it, post how we can see it in these comments! I would love to see it.
Watched this with my kids…everyone is very impressed!
Thanks guys!! My sister moved to a different house and had a really difficult time getting into her new bedroom. TALL posts...
it is a great video , wish i can do something like that, but i can't......i was wondering how much will cost that chess board??
Thanks, feel free to DM me for a quote and timeline. I'm out about 6 months with projects.
I'd love to see it with pieces on. I've just bought a board with 63mm squares, obviously made to a price - but I hope this gets used a lot. Next problem I have is how to store it so that it doesn't get light damage. I don't want to hide it away. Super job.
The friend that asked me to make this has also requested a table or cart for it so he can display it and play it on it. I have lots of ideas concerning that table / cart... I'm the same as you, I don't want it to get damaged or hidden away.
that is nice man
Thank you!
can you make me one, I love this. The way you made it was absoluy fantastic
Thank you very much! If you are inquiring about making one, feel free to email me, in the "about" information. Cheers!
Beautiful work!
Thanks!
Really, really NICE! Simple but elegant and the epoxy really sets it off. Great job!!
Thank you!

I am making one right now using Wenge and some nice figured Maple, it's looking great so far and I appreciate the amount of work that you put into yours. I think after all that work I might be a little reluctant to route out those handles (I'd be afraid the router would slip and ruin my masterpiece) do you think those handles were necessary especially after beveling the bottom outer edge like you did? also what did you use at the end for a finish, was that just a finishing wax (that you buffed out)? great job by the way, one of the best looking chessboards I've seen so far on the tube!
Yes, the routed handles were a high risk. If I were to do it again, I would use my Pantorouter with a diy template to route them out, it is much safer from catastrophic slipping. So if I were you I would take that (router mishaps) into account. I used Rubio Monocoat pure for the finish. It's a food safe hard wax/oil combo. I love it. It's similar to Odie's oil or Osmo. I hope your chessboard turns out well, send me a link if you make a video or take pix. I would love to see it. Thanks for commenting!
@@BrokenThornDesigns thanks for the reply, I doubt if I'll video it not really into that but if it turns out well (fingers crossed) I'll definitely take pictures and post them somewhere, when that happens I'll for sure send you the link. Keep up the good work!
Nice board dude , well impressed with your top clamp system on your Sash clamps thanks bud 😁😁🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thanks, that clamping system is a prototype. It works ok but I have an idea for a better system that I will implement soon. Thanks for commenting!
That's one big ass, beautiful chess board. You could use pepper grinders for pawns. Did you make custom oversized pieces to go with it?
I haven't made any chess pieces yet, but if I do, I'll video the process. Thanks!
Шикарная доска для шахмат получилась
Thank you so much!
I like the epoxy touch. I bet a bit of gold mother of pearl would look nice in lieu of the white
To give it kind of a brass look... Nice!
@@BrokenThornDesigns That was not to imply the chessboard was not already a beautiful piece of work using the white epoxy!
@@Kal-zo5ym Thanks!
Only thing I would have done differently is to use a natural white marble inlay around the border and brass or possibly Ebony inlay around the squares. Im okay with using epoxy for curved and complex inlays, but linear inlays I always prefer to use the natural materials. Personal preference. Fabulous craftsmanship though!
Brass, ebony or white marble are all excellent ideas! I'll keep that in mind, thanks for commenting.
Worthy of a king! Beautiful work.
Wow, thanks!
This is a beautiful piece of art. Your video thumbnail doesn't do it justice! I most likely missed it, did you say what the name of the finish you used is?
Rubio Monocoat pure
Very inspiring. Awesome job 👍🏽
Thanks for commenting! Thanks for the encouragement.
WOW I can't believe you just showed such a big screw up this is a wonderful example of exactly what NOT TO DO WOW how stupid can you get
I like to show mistakes on this channel as well
Muy hermoso. No había visto un trabajo de este tipo con tanta perfección. Felicidades.
Thank you so much!
Everything. The music, the cool unspoken tips, and, of course, the piece all make this one of the most appealing wood working videos I've ever seen
Thank you! So kind...
@@BrokenThornDesigns If I may suggest one thing would be to experiment with keeping audio normal speed when playback speed increases. Idk if it would sound weird, but maybe itd be more pleasing than the high pitched sound of the tools when sped up? subbed btw
Professionalism at its finest... Wonderful video. Liked & Subbed
Very kind words
GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks 🙂
I would have whole pieces for the walnut squares instead of gluing up different pieces of walnut. Color match would be what I would want. And I would have used black metalic in the epoxy. Other than that, Nice job.
Yeah, if I had it to do over again, I would have looked for bigger pieces of walnut. I hadn't thought of the black metallic epoxy before, interesting idea. Thanks for commenting
its a very fancy cutting board :)
Bahahahahahaha!!!!! Well played
