  • DIY end table project I made for $30 and in about three hours. I used copper pipe I got from Home Depot and some scrap walnut I had laying around. I used a finish that is fairly new to me, with great results. I ended the video with a one hour standing water test. Watch till the end to see how it goes!

    The copper legs have a 50’s 60’s furniture vibe to me. To really bring out the shine in them use mother’s polishing compound it is what we use in the sheet metal trade to polish copper. As previously stated the copper will tarnish over time, to slow that down use some paste wax to seal it.

Good channel, humble and trustworthy host. Specially when he told about sanding different hardnesses in one surface and the resulting problems, he got me. These are typical problems in any material combination, and skipped in (felt) 99.9 of youtube tutorials. So he got my respect, mentioning, what others hide.

    thanks so much for this -- it is very timely as I am just about to embark on my first Rubio adventure. About the copper legs: (1) they're not ideal for this project looks wise, but I love the experimentation (2) polishing is great, but they will develop a tarnish/patina after a while -- that might actually help the outdoorsy look, so maybe don't polish at first? (3) I juuust finished a project making a small shoe rack and I used copper piping for the internal racks so I loved watching you be far more professional on this. [I ended up using a pipe cutter, though I didn't need angles and I had a good 1/2" of wiggle room.] I really enjoy your channel and your commentary as you learn-- thank you!

And I’ll digging up a ton of them in the spring. It is still one of my favorites. Thought you might get a kick of it. Love your craft, you’re very good. Don’t particularly like the copper legs.

    With all the different wood working videos, and wood working channels on CZcams, it can be a little overwhelming to pick which ones to watch, and all the way through.
    I have thought about making one myself. To show how one can accomplish most projects with simple hand tools, and grow from there, when I would be able to afford more tools. Most people can't do a lot of what they see because they either don't have the tools, or the space to do the projects in.
    I'm slowly getting material, and content ready to start recording videos.

    In my head I've always thought copper and walnut would match up nicely so I added some copper die to some epoxy to fill a cool knot hole on a serving g board I was making, I did not like the results at all. I found a vintage epoxy die with more brown in it and tried that and I loved those results. I just ordered some kutzall dishes and am going to give power carving a try. Thanks again

    I don't consider this a failure because you learn something new every time, but it wouldn't be the first time ive put time into making something and decided to change it. The final outcome is well worth it. Also glad to see im no the only one who "torture tests" pieces, that way i have 100% confidence when building for a client, instead of relying on the brands "promises".

    Great video. You don't need the part B of the Rubio Monocoat if you don't want. It reduces the drying time from days to hours but it is not essential. Also, keep in mind that the product chemically binds to the wood fibers and does not work well is the wood is sanded too smooth. They recommend sanding to only 150 but I usually go to 180 and apply two coats for an ultra smooth finish. It is designed for flooring but works great for furniture. The time saved in sanding and finishing is worth the extra cost

    Starbond makes a dark brown-colored CA glue that's fantastic for filling blemishes in walnut. Even with activator, I have problems with clear CA "blooming" or turning white as it cures.

    I think personally the table looks awesome. I’m not a would worker by any means but I remodel homes and have had to use several different kinds of finishes in my houses. I like this finish on this table, it really brought out all the grains from super lights to heavy darks. Also by trade I’m a metalsmith, so I’m partial to the copper legs. I feel it brings out colors in the table you wouldn’t normally see had you used another form of leg. Like I said I’m partial to this look. Incorporating another element other than wood really showed another side to your work. Thank you!! Keep posting!!!

  • @dougk.5501
    @dougk.5501 Před 2 lety

    You can acid etch the legs. Or blue the legs. You can use liver of sulfur to patina them and they will look completely different.
    Personally I like the look of polished copper, but putting some age on them brings character. I guess I could go either way.
    Great video!

    The copper legs look great in the right environment, but out on your patio looked great, you’d want some protective feet if used indoors. I make timber slab tables but the leg situation is definitely the biggest challenge!

    Working on a slab table for my Nephew. It's 5''x 2' jacket slab (used to have bark on both edges), and had several punky spots. My brother and I used a wood hardening epoxy to try and fix the softer areas. It worked pretty well. We actually applied a gel stain to the wood before using the hardening epoxy so we would not end up with oddly stained areas. It worked out pretty well. We liked your use of black epoxy to fill the voids, and were mightily frustrated by the multitude of worm holes we found. They just kept sucking up epoxy. I swear the edges of this table are going to be solid epoxy! We broke down and used CA/Accelerant to fill them. We just put what we hope will be the final coat on Table Top Epoxy on the top and have to clean up the edges and attach the legs.
    Learning experience with lessons to be applied to a small stack of walnut slabs next (without the Epoxy top coat, that was for a college aged Nephew). We think we have a line on a business with a planer/sander me might be able to rent time on.
    LOVE the videos and it's always fun to spend a work break watching one!

    If you want to get your angles on point, you could get a line of chords which looks like a stainless steel ruler with a pivot in the middle. Engineers and boilermakers and metal fabricators use them for very important angles in construction.

    The finish looks great. I'm working on re-finishing a bookshelf from my childhood. It's still 100% sturdy, but also looked 100% from 1992. I want to keep using it, so I'm modernizing it.

    36" round outdoor bar-height river resin tabletop. My 14-y-o son was super inspired by you and started making tables - he's doing awesome! Our contractor asked him to make a 36" round black walnut bar-height tabletop with umbrella hole for outdoors. He's got a plan, but has gotten mixed advice on (1) whether black walnut will hold its color and integrity outdoors, and (2) whether the resin will yellow outdoors, and (3) whether the Rubio Monocoat will hold up outdoors. Seeing as you made something similar, he would be so happy to get your advice if you think this is all fine or there are better alternatives. Thank you for inspiring a child to spend his time doing something so amazing during this crazy year!

      Walnut, epoxy, and Rubio don’t do well outdoors. Wish I had better news! Can tint the epoxy light blue to offset the yellowing though

    Usually, on walnut furniture, I cut copper pipe in half and flatten it out. Then, I bend it around the edge horizontally and nail it after drilling holes... lots of holes.. with copper nails. After all this, and several other securing steps, I start hammering it to match the natural edges of the wood. Copper and walnut go well together, in my opinion.
