Round Epoxy Table Build

- How to make a round epoxy table. Step by step guide to how I made this round table from an old walnut root slab and epoxy resin. This build was a little unusual, so there are several parts that I used/invented techniques that I had never done before. The biggest improvement from my last round table build was how to make a perfectly round form with very little wood/epoxy waste. I hope you like it, and feel free to comment with any questions or feedback!

Cam, I cannot stress enough how much I admire your humbleness and genuineness. You make fantastic tables and I find your videos wholesome and entirely satisfying to watch. I am a builder here in Australia and you can imagine the LAST thing i would want to see is a work-working video when I get home from work. Yet, here we are. :D
A keynote speaker at an event I was at once said that "Aussies can sniff bullshit from 50 paces"... I think that's why the unvarnished truth (pun intended) is respected for us, and most of us are very egalitarian. I too love Cam's work. I'm so tempted to substantially increase my tool collection, just so I have a hobby. ;-)
After watching the video advert i was still skeptical. But when i finally downloaded the plans czcams.com/users/postUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG i was very impressed. The whole plan was just as you said in the video. Thank you very much. I now have a large and valuable collection for my woodworks. This is great!
No question. But your videos are therapeutic. I finish my day here in Australia, working in IT, then handling my 2 kids. By 9 pm I’ve lost will to live. Then watch your one of your videos and I sleep happy!
I just love to watch your work. I'm an old lady who really like when professionals do their best. ☺️
Cam, every time I watch your videos I realize how much I enjoy listening to the process involved in producing such exquisite works of art. I’ve seen other videos that have no dialogue and even though I’ll never accomplish producing a wooden table, I appreciate the knowledge being shared with your viewers. Thanks for your soothing voice and explaining your methods with your audience.
Cam, the close up pics on this are really showing the quality and effort you put into these tables. Thanks for sharing as always
Cam - I've JUST discovered your vids on a subject I've been interested in exploring -
as _one_ of the reasons we bought this ( our new ) property right AT when this vid was first published, right at_ a year ago.
The main feature HERE was a NICE-sized Shop which I was _hoping_ I could start doing something like what I'm seeing here in your vids . I'm glad I've discovered your vids, and hope to gain the insights necessary to make a worth-while go of something FAR more modest than - but still inspired by - your content here.
Thanks for the encouragement !
Also, the narration is a HUGE positive factor helping me (us) to understand not _only_ what we see you doing, but your thinking behind it as well .
Finding MANY of the tools and products I'll need for success as affiliate links in the supplemental portion of your post is a HUGE help , TOO ! I expect it'll save, eliminate or at least _reduce_ the side-work of experimenting with what tools , equipment, epoxies, finishes , etc. to use that "might" work ... 👍!
All the BEST from Texas ! -
Chuck .
Cheers chuck!
Cam!!!
Beautiful table. I would love to see an orange-fire epoxy added to a table like that. Maybe even add some LEDs to make it light up and really show the grain off. Just a thought.
Wonderful that our friend Cam details his failures, errors and corrections. Such integrity and honesty is rare and must be highly valued. Thanks Cam!
Been doing exterior construction for over 20 yrs..... Been burnt out for so long, so I wanna thank you for inspiring me, creating is what drives me, not content creating, just create....
So this was the second video of yours that I have watched. You’re a little over my head but I’m learning. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I'm Portuguese English is my second language and I understand everything you say. I don't think you speak too quickly, and the accent is excellent. American English is perfect, British is the worst of them all I can't understand what they say. I love seeing 'Allo 'Allo! on the BBC, but unfortunately only with subtitles. Australian English is also very good I get 95%. By the way, you are a master at your job, the tables are always perfect. 👍
I'm in the TUNNEL, can't stop watching the videos of this guy...
It's amazing that it's not just a work of art but a talent that has been formed. I'm from Vietnam and it's a pleasure to meet everyone.
I am inspired by your work,I can't afford those tools ,I own a wood mill now. I want to continue watching your videos,I tell people about your work.I am disabled, not! I am adaptable since I lost my right leg. You do beautiful work hands down. thank you
That trileg metal base was fantastic great blend of wood and metal. Although I will admit the wood bases you make that are of your creative flare are my favorites. BTW, 30 minute or more videos are all okay with me. They are so instructional I learn new things the more I watch you and listen to your commentary. 🤔👍🏻
.
Cam, I love how the finish gave depth to the grain of the wood. Beautiful piece of furniture -- congratulations!
At 1.10 you're are cleaning the UK! Good work Cam!
Cam. G'day mate. No questions just admiration. You are everything a good CZcamsr should aspire to be. Informative, creative, talented and your dry sense of humour guarantees me at least one good laugh each video. Honestly, I have sometimes burst out laughing at you banter. I hadn't noticed how fast you speak until you mentioned it, now I am almost tempted to check my playback speed. I work hard for a living in a shipyard, all toxic and sterile. I am though, a gardener by trade and nature. Watching your videos is a joy, to relax to and watch a natural media be lovingly showcased.
The epoxy side is a bit of a sore point with me though, because after years of exposure to two-pack epoxy paint as I mix it and run paint machines, often hundreds of litres per coat, for hours at a time, I have become sensitized to it and it is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Glad to hear you let it cure well before finishing. Often I have to sand freshly sprayed epoxy after it has hardened after only one day and the dust is a nightmare for me. Though I have over the last couple of years learned to mitigate the worst of it. A tip for you is, I use petroleum jelly as a barrier cream, it seems to work well.
Cheers, Joel.
Cam! I've just found your channel and binged it basically. I love your honesty about the errors and actually teaching something (because you learn the most from mistakes). Great work!
Hi CAM! This round table from a 'scrap' of wood is marvelously done by you. The only trouble is that if I used it in my house I'd have to throw out all of my other furnishings! Someday when I win the lottery I'll come to you and order something smashing and then after it's installed I'll invite all the neighbors and family over and look down my long nose at them! Thanks for showing the fascinating way it all comes together.
CAM I love all your Creations and Tables but the Rounds are my Favorite !! so From one Creative Person to Another "You ROCK " !!
I would like to take a moment to appreciate the art of woodworking. Excellent video 10/10 would recommend
Cam, I owned a cabinet, millwork and panel processing company in Huntington Beach in the 70's & 80's. We did a lot of very high end corporate conference tables with very expensive exotic veneers. We always tried to convince the customer to use resing coatings to preserve these woods that are vanishing in our modern world. If you do it right they will last forever. It was also a ongoing revenue source because we could go out and refurbish the surfaces on sight. I love your love for God's creations and your desire to respect and preserve that beauty. Thanks.
Cam, It's beautiful. I have to admit I'm seriously considering picking up this craft as a hobby. And your presentations are perfect. My issues will be room, my wife has about $10K in sewing machines and no place for sawdust in the "craft room and our garage is wall-to-wall in "stuff"(her stuff).
Lmao I can attest, sewing takes up a lot of space 😂 once I starting sewing, there was just no going back, and have less and less room for myself in my own apartment!
But maybe you can come up with storage solutions so both of you can fit in the craft room!
Time to clean out the garage 🙂
@@Angie_suv great idea 🙂
can try to biuld a shed
Za prodajo bi bilo predrago da si vse zračuna kaj je v to mizo vložil!!pod ceno pa ne more dat.potem pride na pekli vrh.SAMO ZASE..
I really appreciate your commentary. Many channels do everything without description which can be frustrating.
Cam, I was mesmerized at this video. Amazing table, love resin tables. What an artist!!!!!!
I really appreciate how detailed your videos are. I have never made one of these tables, but after watching your videos I feel confident with making my first attempt! Much appreciated 👌
I can’t believe so many people would thumbs down this. It’s beautiful man.
you forgot "a" article in the second sentence :)
I really enjoy that you talk in your videos cause I can’t watch the videos without the voice over good work
The wood transformations are phonomenal🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Thank you for being real! Sharing the challenges, mistakes and how you overcame them is such a help for everyone trying to learn. BEAUTIFUL table!!
Cam, as someone starting out in woodworking (just finished my first college course) its awesome to see the beautiful work that can be done. Gives me confidence and inspiration to aim for the skill level your at. Thanks ... +1 subscriber!!
Cam, how wonderful that you have a supportive community that you have outsourced to. Count your blessings!
Cam, been binge watching your videos. I am amazed at the meticulous care you take with each and every detail.❤
Cam,
Once again you raised the bar!
I love the voice over. Even though you speed through your videos the description of the process and the fact you talk about the mishaps makes it so informative! Thank you for sharing your passion with us all!
I try! And thanks!
Cam, this is gorgeous. My wife wants a round small table for a corner in the living room. The base will be an old sewing-machine base. Definitely going to use your methods. Will be ordering a few items from your links as well. Thank you for your lessons. I also appreciate that you put in your videos mistakes and the like. It makes it real and we all learn from that.
Man the depth the black adds is awesome. Beautiful job.
Hey, I am one , who don't have a any relation with carpantry or furnitures. But I kind of used to see your content in my free time. One this that I leant from you, whatever you do give your best, even if no one is watching. Appreciate your work.
I watch a lot of CZcams woodworking videos, and there's a real refreshing honesty about your work and your content creation. Very glad I found your channel.
I stay as far away from wood work as I can, but like these videos so much! I do often wish that you had more colors though. Like a colourful epoxy resin. I'd love to see videos of other shades
😊Beautiful, authentic American craftsmanship by a perfectionist! My kind of guy! Just love to watch the process, very satisfying 😊😘! From Suzanne, age 80
I have not made anything from epoxy resin.
But after your videos watching I will try to make a table like yours .
Cam - it's awesome how the finish brings out so much in the wood, AND softens the look of the epoxy. I love love the look of this.
Very impressive. This is the second video I’ve watched of yours. The attention to detail and quality of your work shows your level of passion towards your work. Keep up the great videos and work.
CAM! I love your work and I love watching your videos! They're not too fast for me. I never get bored and I never have to fast-forward. Stay speedy!
So glad I found upon your channel, I'm a residential carpenter, mostly doing builtins, crowns, door and window casings ect.
I've been toying with the idea of building projects like what you produce. Would be nice to be in the shop without having to intrude on people's homes and bring every tool under the sun to do the most basic jobs. Looks very satisfying to create such incredible art.
Thank you for the great camera work and attention to detail.
Cam, this round table is sensational and I can imagine a bronze powder coat finish on the base. 👍🏻🔥🔥🔥
Cam, looks great. Thanks for going at a faster pace but slow enough that you can explain everything. I’d rather watch a 15 minute video like this than a 50 minute video where someone explains every step they are doing in incredible detail
SPAN . I am breathless what you find in a piece of Walnut.. another beauty.. Thanks
Cam! French speaker here, and photographer, all of your references on this video speak to me! You are fast indeed, but after 5 years living in ireland I don't struggle at all, so I'm pretty proud!
The photos in the end are really good, keep it up!
Cam, I am intrigued with the depth of finish, as a wood turner I tend to be very sparing with the finish to ensure the wood is the main focus but the depth of shine on your product tempts me to change my life long practice. At 77 years old and 65 years practice it is good to keep learning.
Cam: I love how you show the entire process, errors and all. I get tired of the perfectly done videos that make the rest of us feel inferior! ;) Loved it, makes me eager to get my first table made.
Good luck with the build!
I live in Karachi Pakistan and I like your comment
Cam That table was truly beautiful
Cam, that table is absolutely gorgeous .
Absolutely gorgeous ❤️. I love the intricate details in wood. Every piece is different and unique. Brining out the true beauty is the hard part. You did fantastic at that.
Thanks so much!
Cam, loved the table, turned out amazing. I have been resin casting and had some issues with soft casts, which makes me rethink my mixing process. I am a big believer in mold release, it is one step that saves so much time. Thinking about how you took a tail pice to fill the larger empty section, something very similar could be done with a bunch of smaller fragments and ends. I particularly enjoy how you are learning to develop your craft and are not afraid to experiment, which can produce some beautiful and unexpected results. I liked the natural wood showing through on the burned piece, it gave it character, intentionally warping could produce some outstanding results, looking forward to joining you in your journey. Cheers!
Ml No One
I've been saving wood to make some tables for my sister I have the top and I'm also going to make the legs would I want to thank you for showing us because this was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen and I've always wanted to try stumps so now I get the picture that no matter what the wood is you can use that I cannot wait thank you so much and God bless and please remember don't cut down trees only the ones that are dead we need them to live
Cam i just love the round entry table i am retired and in Australia and by watching and learning from you i have decided to give making tables a go !
Love that!
Cam. This table is absolutely breathtaking! You’re a great artist.
Cam, such a beautiful table! I thoroughly enjoyed watching you make this and I’m now getting more excited that my husband and I will be making our own small table eventually from a wood slab from some oak trees we had to take down.
My name cam If I had not seen that piece of wood before you started I would have never believed the end results! Your work is straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Cam this table is a work of art …. Absolutely stunning
Cam, im not a wood-worker per-say but ever since i bought my house i found myself turning into a jack-of-all-trades. That being said, i know the amount of work it takes to build something 1/10th as nice as this.... you really do go above and beyond. This is one of the nicest tables i have ever seen, amazing job - congrats on *ONE MILLION* subscribers! They are well deserved, cant wait to see you get your own TV show like 'Tank Boss' or 'Restoration Pros' or even a full scale resto and builds like 'This Old House'! Thanks for the killer content, cant wait for more!!
Cam... I just discovered your channel and I'm binge watching when I have time. Thank you for putting it all together and all the hard work creating your pieces.
I was rewatching this while i was having lunch and at 10:12 you mentioned "the fact that i talk so fast can be a little overwhelming sometimes" but your videos are actually great to train the hearing aspect of the idiom because in the real world no one talks slowly and perfect so it rly helps to build up that skill
Really love your work. What skills you have. Would love to see you make a large writer’s desk. Nothing fancy. Just something large, simple, and elegant.
Cam, absolutely stunning. Im an aspiring wood worker and this is something I could only dream of doing. Really great work. Thank you for your time man.
Cam, proud of you and what you do! To do what you love and make a living is a blessing. My dad was just recently able to make his passion his full time job from home and it just makes me so happy. Love your videos and your work!
Adding that additional piece to fill in the big void was brilliant. It accentuated the whole table so nicely
Cam, because of your videos I am going to tackle my first table. Thanks.
Cam, excellent work! Love that you document both the journey of creating the piece and your journey of photography and video making. Really cool stuff and an interesting new perspective. Subscribed!
Cam, your work is excellent - I might even have a crack at doing this myself! I'll be sure to let you know how I go.
Cam,the most Beautiful tables I’ve ever seen is Black Walnut with the Black Epoxy.Your the first person that has created such a Beautiful Work of Art,Thank you my friend!
Please keep doing what you're doing. I learn a lot from your successes and mistakes.
Good job. Beautiful. Very inspiring. This is what I want to do in my retirement. Thanks for the videos.
Cam, amazing table. I am just starting my woodworking journey at that young age of 58. You are an inspiration to me. I never miss a video. Thanks for the links to all the great tools and supplies. My budget is not so happy, but maybe someday I'll be able to make some cash with what right now is a hobby!
I'm 58 and just started my journey, too! Can't wait to start experimenting with some of Cam's techniques.
@@countylinecnclinda maravilhosa
Very nearly 40 here and also just starting my journey.
Worked as a furniture designer/illustrator/draftsman for 24 years. At 50, it's time to start my DIY journey buying one tool at a time and making homemade ones.
In same age and experience boat,planning to start a river table with a waterfall project (!) in 2 months, collecting tools and watching Cam's videos.
I have absolutely no intention of making a table but I cannot stop watching these
Cam that was a beautiful table it's amazing it came out that good looks like it took a lot of work I build houses for a living and nothing goes better than natural wood furniture
Cam I'm binge watching as I couldn't sleep, and your ability to bring the beauty out of pieces of wood is amazing!!!
Cam, thank you for what you do... you’ve inspired me to finally just feet first into woodworking.. I did my first set of outdoor chairs today. Woodworking is therapeutic for me and freeing! Thank you for the videos!
That’s awesome Jay!
Good luck on you're journey!!! 👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏 NEVER TOO LATE!
Cam, this is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! God Bless!!
Cam
Incredible job. It looks 3D!
Cam, you’ve fueled a new obsession. Hopefully I can turn this into a profession one day!
Mesmerizing watching you go from wood most people would pass by without a thought to your beautiful piece of art. Thanks for posting. It was amazing to watch it come to life.
I love watching your videos here in the UK. I’m a Design and Technology tutor and I’ve told all my students to take a watch too.
Cam, again I learned about your craft! I am enjoying all your videos!
Cam, that is one beautiful table top! As always, I'm learning a lot. Talk all you want!
I’m going to throw my coffee table from Target in the river now. That thing needs to be in the air and space museum with a miniature space shuttle sitting on top!
That is one FANTASTIC looking table ❤️❤️❤️
I *gasped* when you poured in the black epoxy, but then realized after planing, brought the wood grain back.
Cam, great job. Table turned out really nice.
Linda mesa! Realmente um belo serviço! "in portuguese from Brazil"
Cam, I'm a very new subscriber to your channel and I am absolutely in love with these pure works of art that you are creating. The commentary, the shots, the brief walk through of your process all of it is just nice to relax to. Greetings from New Zealand.
Cam, what a great looking table!!! Thanks for showing it on CZcams.
CAM, NO QUESTIONS, JUST TOTAL ADMIRATION FOR YOUR TALENT AND THANKS FOR SHARING!
THANKS, TONY
Muito legal parabéns lindo trabalho 👏👏👏🙏❤ e fica com Deus.
Cam, what a beautiful table. I wouldn’t have known what to do with that slab. Turned out great!
I am a 66yrs and I enjoy watching your beautiful work , keep up the good work!
Cam,
I like this video and table just as much the 3rd time around. I've finally poured A round with wood actually I did #3 today. 14" mold for lazy susans. So far so good. Mainly, thanks to all your great instructions.
As always, Thanks
