You get a surprising amount of hate. I hope you are able to look at those comments constructively, if they offer some valid criticism, or ignore the simply hateful remarks you get. It takes a lot to share your passion on the internet, but almost nothing to comment. Thanks for sharing everything you do, bud 💖
I get that you want to keep these more accessible without investing in a lot of tools, but I think getting a wet tile saw and then cutting the edge tiles using the edge lines you made before adhering them would have made a better final result. A thicker flashing, as you mentioned would have been good. A copper flashing might have been interesting with the black. A plunge router/dremmel tied to the string might have made the circle easier. Using the metal band sticking up and doing some colored epoxy might be an interesting table design as well.
Penny rounds are a great classic look. The black on black is something I never would have thought of for tile, but it turned out looking great! Thanks for sharing!
Love this! Like so many others have said, I love how much you challenge yourself! You post the process, which can includes mistakes, and comments about what you would do differently in the future. It's so good to see this side of projects! Thanks for being so fun to watch!
I watched a few of your videos, and they all stand out to me. Not only because of your good designs but also because you discuss your mistakes and because you use basic tools where possible. Thanks!
This looks VERY doable! I think I would take the time to do a "dry placement" of the tiles first. Then I could cut, move, shift wherever I want. I think I'd even do a square one too. A square and round both on the same patio...hmmm! I agree, trying different colors...wow! I bet red would be cool. Great project, thanks!
Ive been a subscriber for a while and it’s made me really love DIY and not be afraid to try things! I’m insulating my shed and lining the walls with plywood and then building a nice workbench with 3x2’s and everything is going perfectly by watching your videos 👌👍 Thank you!
This is for inspiration, man. You can do it and learn from this "mistakes" and make it more refined. But I guess people just love to bitch about everything.
@@IsaacMaganaMusic Actually it's a DIY lesson, which SHOULD teach you what to do without the viewer having to come up with their own methods based on the mistakes of the teacher... I really appreciate the time spent making the video and the content itself, but donnie isn't bitching.. he's making a valid observation. It's a really well edited DIY video on making a table that looks really nice from a distance.
@@IsaacMaganaMusic that's a lazy excuse. Taking the time to make this video and diy channel.. you should take the time in showing you van actually do this and do this beautiful. If not, you should not be teaching imo. Sorry if i sound harsh
I've incorporated mosaic patterns in some of my projects before and the best way to get a smooth flush tiled edge is to use tile pincers which can be used as the adhesive/grout dries. It's fairly easy to do and doesn't take that much time. If you use a power tool, wait till it's cured and fully dry and clamp it down to minimise movement and cut it with straight passes until it forms a curve, similarly how a circle could be can be cut on a bandsaw if you're less confident than following the line. Overall it looks good.
Hey man I don’t know if anyone has commented this yet, but I’ve been working with tile for a while and I actually just remodeled my restroom and used penny tile in the shower niche! But if you use this product called speed set it dries in 3 hours and ready to grout in 4 hours I believe! It is great for jobs that you know you can finished in one day !
This was good timing for this project. Recently a local bar was renovating their building. The building is from the early 1900's I went down there to dig thru their dumpster 'cause I remembered they have the original white penny round tiles in the bathrooms. So, I have a bunch of them, but not nearly enough survived to tile my whole bathroom.. But, a coffee table is doable. :)
Quick set Thin-set hardens way faster depending and it can be for outside (lasts really long). Also, you could get chemical drying thin-set instead of air-drying type so it will dry even covered in grout if its still wet. Doing the tittle things really helps with tile.
I really like this A LOT, but there is only one minor change I would have made, and it wouldn't even change the looks of your table at all. I would have painted the underside of the table black, not only to make it blend in, should there ever be a need to look at the underside of the table, but more importantly, to seal and protect the wood. GREAT PROJECT!!!!!!
I’m sorry about how much hate you get. These people will sit at keyboards and shit on other people’s creations without a second thought to how much work goes into it. It might not be perfect but it’s a DIY. If they have a problem they can make it themselves. Great video.
I think a couple of reasons. First I have used that construction adhesive and it starts drying very fast so if he put all of it on and then laid the tiles down it would probably not have adhered to the tiles before drying. Also it comes in a tube so how would one trowl it all on? Squeezing it all out and then spreading it around with a trowl seems like it takes more time than just squeezing it on the back of the tiles. I also think it is easier to see how much you are working with if you are used to squeezing it out since it takes a different amount of regular adhesive than it takes tile mortar to get something to adhere. Squeezing it out on the tile seems way easier and faster than trying to trowl it on.
He even said in the video, he only wanted it on tbe tiles not in the gaps as it would show through, trowelling would end up with it filling between all the tiles
Another interesting thing could be - black penny tiles, and then get white grout and mix up a few different rainbow colors with little batches of the main quantity. You'd have to be careful about the colors mixing, but it could be pretty interesting to have the grout "pop".
@@ModernBuilds Yeah, that would be sweet. Some other extreme ideas: I wonder if you could use some kind of additive that made the grout shine in a blacklight, or adding some of that glow in the dark powder to the grout.
Make that circle cut with a router on the end of a board with the other end on a pivot pin in the center of your material. You wasted a ton of time and got an imperfect shape.
I have a piece of plywood I’ve been wondering what to do with and this is perfect. I’m thinking a black on black top like yours but with a bright neon orange edge would look awesome.
Hi Mike, you always do such great videos and this is another! The issue that you had with cutting the tile at the edge is a valuable lesson to present. That black grout almost looks slate-like where it's wider, so it might have been good to remove a few more of the penny tiles all the way around. I think if I were to recreate this, I'd probably make the table shape a hexagon though. Looking forward to more of your videos. TFS
Really like the look of this. Think you could get a similar look, with less work, using penny dot flooring. Would just need to stick it on and cut off the edge.
Hey mike! I really miss your furniture builds. Your channel is one of my first favorite channels when i started to love diy woodworking. More power to you bro and thanks for being an inspiration. God bless. Happy 4th of July.
@@ModernBuilds Wet hand circular saw marked with blue tape or a tile chipper because they are penny tiles or a schulter edge to cover up a uneven tile edge. Maybe even made the original shape a square to keep it less complicated. I like and appreciate ur content.
I would’ve done a dry layout of tile, marked where the tiles where overhanging and trimmed penny tile so it was flush all around the edge. In this case some more planning would’ve been a good choice. I don’t think the edges ruined it though because the black grout hides a lot of the inconsistencies a contrasting grout wouldn’t have.
More Bus content is on the way, This was a quick side project while Epoxy is curing for the custom Bathroom Vanity for the bus 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Yes I’ve been hanging out for the next bus project keep up ur good work
Can't wait to see the result !!! #excited

Excited
YES!!! Love This!!!
And speaking of epoxy.
Can epoxy paint be used over pvc panels (as in a shower)? 🤔

Anyone else get anxiety from the fact that the tiles aren’t spaced out correctly 😫
What do you mean? He aligned them how they came on the sheet and according to pattern
@@Jayariee the space on between should be around 1/8 and he put to close!!!!!!
Yea but after the grout it is barely even noticeable
@@ImTheSuper oh guess i didn't notice
Ya and the hack job of the metal surround. If this was his first table ever it's not bad.
Very cool table. Loving the bus project, but enjoy diy that we can all try! Thanks for another great one!

That's so perfect!!! If you build it, send a pic my way!
Why u cut the round piece from the middle of the square one?why not from one corner and you have a bigger piece left to use after?isn't that a waste?
I absolutely love this. I almost want to make a larger table for my backyard.
So pretty, I would have loved to see gold legs and gold metal banding around the table top
For cutting thin metal just flip your wood cutting blade of circular saw, it works great.
LOVEE THISSS! 😍 Your videos make me feel like I can DIY everything 🥰🤣😅
Me to it is boss but like the mint bus better😉
No you cant hes a professional youre not
@@abdullaa4428 rude!
same here ahahahah it seems like everything is sooo easy!

Why do ppl cut a circle from the CENTER of material. So much waste
Good tip. Most people dont think about it and just go for the center since it feels natural
It looks better.
Lol it hurts doesnt it
I feel like CZcamsrs do this ALOT. It's like they don't even have to think about material cost (/s)
To be honest we know he’ll reuse it at some point
That thing is SLEEK 👍🏻👍🏻

Tile nippers might be a better option to cut the edges, for anyone trying this at home.
Eh, it's not as noticeable once the grout is in. I love the way this came out! It would make a nice outdoor table.
This is so cool!! Love the black!
1-800-Super-pro! All day
Bravoo good job
Just looking at yor Kintsugi-Project. Golden grout and black or dark blue tile would look impressive.
It turned out pretty cool, i think a little contrast of colour, would be interesting to try
I love the way the table looks! Seems like it would be perfect for our backyard patio. Great build Mike!
After a recent table project I've seen, I can suggest you to sell it for 1 million dollars.
haha!!
The $6000 table right? 🤣🤣
