Personal choice on my part, but I would have done the base layer of epoxy in a coffee brown. This would eliminate the bean gapping I saw which I thought was bubbles or dust for a second till a clearer shot was shown. Great work as always though.
I actually like the fact that the beans are more highlited with the clear bottom. My only critique is the choice in table support, looks a little too plain Jane. I think a custome BFW X base would have looked awesome.
Only deduction is could have used more coffee beans to help get rid of so many of those empty gaps between beans that look like bubbles almost, so like 2-3 layers thick of beans leaving plenty enough room for epoxy. Still very nice
Mmmm, a river of coffee, soo good. Love the table, looks really good, like the Pecan wood. The frame is good, minimal and linear to emphasize the top, it all comes together really well. Thanks for the video and Happy Birthday to Charlie! Cheers,Michael.
Hello - new to the channel, but just want to say that you sure know what you are doing with resin. Man, what a beautiful piece of pecan, too. Keep it up and happy 1st birthday, Charlie!
🎂 Happy 1st Birthday Charlie. 🎂 Charlie needs his moustache brushed. 😂😂 I'm not criticising Dylan but if that had been my table I would have liked more beans in it and nearer to the surface. It is a beautiful piece of work as always though. I love the metal legs.
The iconic Colombian coffee farmer Juan Valdez would have appreciated that coffee table! That pecan wood grain is gorgeous! Great job team Black Forest! And a very happy First birthday 🥳 🎂🐶 🎊 to sir Charlie 👑🎂🎉🥳🐶 🍖 🦴🎊
Beautiful branding work on the table guys! I have to say - the client picked a beautiful wood for this art piece. But most important - Happy Birthday Charlie ❤💕🎂🍰 - I love you man! 'Charlie is in the way....' No wonder Dylan's father call Charlie 'his favourite son 😂 #Keep_Posting_Charlie !
This would be really cool with a few thinner layers then some nice warm lights recessed into the bottom to diffuse light around the beans from underneath
Charlie looked happy up on the table, I wonder if an opaque ribbon made to look like creamer would be possible. Another great video thank you and have a great weekend.
Great job, great video!!! The pecan wood looks wonderful. Glad you thought to fill the empty spaces with coffee beans. When the epoxy was curing and producing heat, did the pour room smell like coffee? Hopefully, we will soon see him using the table during the podcast. Thanks for another outstanding video!!! Happy birthday, Charlie!!!
Hey Dylan, Am I dreaming, or have you done this before? I remember asking you a question about the oils in the beans. Maybe I'm going crazy.... Great looking table. Happy 1st birthday, Charlie. Hope your day was as special as you are.
Fantástico. Descobri seu canal e assisti quase todos os vídeos dele em poucos dias. Acho muito legal. Seu trabalho é uma arte. Não vi nada parecido aqui no Brasil ainda
@@BlackForestWoodCoobrigado por ler e dar uma resposta. Mesmo breve e curta, vale a pena para mim. Disse antes e repito. Seu trabalho é uma arte. A natureza é perfeita demais. Fico bonito com os desenhos criados dentro fãs árvores. Um mais lindo que o outro
Either more coffee beans or brown epoxy layer underneath which will help with the white spots also under the table the beans will not fall off in time.
Glad you realized your coffee bean pour was waaaaay too careful (I couldn't figure out why you were being so dainty), I am surprised your epoxy bean coating was so thick and glad it worked for you, manufacturers usually recommend multiple pours for that thickness
Maybe corners should be full as it is now, and in the middle less coffee beans will catch the eyes when the light go through the resin and seeing the pieces floating in the middle 🤭😍🥰
Happy birthday Charlie! Beautiful table as well. Question.... Did you "clean" the coffee beans before you added then to the table? If so, how? In making coasters with beans I find pieces of what I'm guessing is the husk/shell.
I feel like they didn't clean the beans, hence the flakes you see in the epoxy under certain angles. The one thing I think they did to prevent the flakes from floating up, is pouring a thin layer onto the beans first, effectively locking in the husks, and then pouring the final layer. Still looks absolutely stunning though, and I wouldn't be able to do it any better myself, obviously!
Hi! Degreasing any part needed, clean up, air dry them, and paint clear top epoxy on all parts? Meaby a clear primer on the parts before using epoxy is needed? Probably how I would do it, if no one gave me a better idea? Try with one metal part first that you can get a easy hold of again if needed. You know - just to get an idea of what that is the best way to go?
That table is great looking. Congrats on how well it turned out. Question: Since you put an organic substance (coffee beans) into epoxy, couldn't the beans still breakdown? The beans more than likely would breakdown from the inside out if they did. What are your thoughts? Happy B-Day Charlie. Stick the microphone in a snausage. I think he would be more vocal. lol
I wondered too if the beans weren't going to start dissolving or swelling or breaking down in the wet epoxy so that they didn't look fresh or whole under the final pour. Looks like they did not. Great job, Black Forest!
Don't think he would have not thought it twice to include it in the video. The amazing viewers like you is what allowed him to keep that part in the video.
Not bad. I would have wanted lighter color to see more into it. I would then would have added lights underneath. Happy late late birthday Charlie Chuckles.😅
When you guys trimmed the edges, did you have exposed beans that you had to cut through? I'm actually about to start a much smaller river board with coffee beans and can't seem to wrap my head around that part. Or did you even trim the edges at all?
Did you ever figure it out? I'm about to do the same on a river board. I'm just going to babysit the pour to keep pushing back the beans as it "thickens up"... or a thin piece of HDPE as a dam on each end of the river until it thickens up a bit, then pull the dam out while I still can... Then the next clear layer will go to the ends and should hide the difference in layers. If I cut close to, but not touching the beans it should look proper... I hope.
@@stevenlarson6125 You know, I still have yet to give it a try. When you do it, let me know how it goes!! I think your idea of "pushing the beans back" might be the way to go.
Armchair expert that I am, coffee beans closer to the surface. Also I've been wondering if a vibration table would further eliminate potential air bubbles.
I once hauled 44,000 lbs of coffee beans out of New Orleans to a roastery in DeMoine IA. There were in 150 lb burlap sacks from all over the world. They handled the sacks with hay bale hooks. Also, they don't have a rodent problem as raw coffee beans before they are roasted are so hard rats and mice can't chew them.
Personal choice on my part, but I would have done the base layer of epoxy in a coffee brown. This would eliminate the bean gapping I saw which I thought was bubbles or dust for a second till a clearer shot was shown. Great work as always though.
my thought too
As an after-thought I would paint the bottom black to stop the bleed though of light
I actually like the fact that the beans are more highlited with the clear bottom. My only critique is the choice in table support, looks a little too plain Jane. I think a custome BFW X base would have looked awesome.
was thinking of the samething~:)
O.M.G., beautiful. Happy birthday Charlie.
Manny happy returns of the day Charlie! 🦴🦴🦴

Or a black base coat of epoxy.

I LOVE THIS! FANTASTIC! PASS ME SOME COFFEE!
Beautiful!
This table turned out amazing, I love the way the coffee beans pick up the darker color in the wood y'all used.
Mmmm, a river of coffee, soo good. Love the table, looks really good, like the Pecan wood. The frame is good, minimal and linear to emphasize the top, it all comes together really well.
Thanks for the video and Happy Birthday to Charlie! Cheers,Michael.
Happy belated birthday Charlie! I love the work you guys do and especially how genuinely nice you all are! Keep on being amazing all around!
Happy, Happy Big Boy Birthday Charlie 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
Such a big boy! Thanks Josie!!
I love it! It makes me want to start drinking coffee. Haha. It's another amazing piece from Black Forest Wood Co. What a beautiful timber choice too!
Hahaha us too! Thanks Rob!
wow amazing idea, looks like you had a lot of fun making this one great job. love the grain on this one too. Happy Birthday Charlie.
Thanks so much!
Beautiful piece. ♥️
If I ever venture into projects that size, maybe not quite that big, I'd love to make one of these for myself. Brilliant!
Of course Charlie gets a Happy Birthday and doggy cake. You’d better show him devouring the cake next week…..🤞
Can’t wait to see this on the episodes of the Iced Coffee Hour, such a cool table.
Happy Happy birthday Charlie!!🎉😘
Thanks Elizabeth!!
Wonderful choice of wood. The golden of the Pecan and the dark brown of the coffee beans works so well. Excellent table gentlemen.
Thanks so much! And agreed, the colours go so well together!
I am glad you like your job and have a sense of humor.
Thanks Christel!!
Such a fantastic concept! I don’t drink coffee but I absolutely love this table! Beautiful and, extremely cool!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHARLIE SWEETIE!
He says thank you!!

Happy first birthday Charlie. The bean table looks amazing.
Happy Birthday Charlie! :-)
Thank you!!
A absolutely gorgeous table 😍😍 and Happy Birthday Charlie
Thank you Susie!!
Great idea. Who would have thought of coffee beans in a coffee table. Nice build:)
Hello - new to the channel, but just want to say that you sure know what you are doing with resin. Man, what a beautiful piece of pecan, too. Keep it up and happy 1st birthday, Charlie!
I would love to make these resin tables
🤩🙌🏾🦋
Beautiful table. The wood is gorgeous. Love the concept. I would’ve added more beans.
Next time!
🎂 Happy 1st Birthday Charlie. 🎂
Charlie needs his moustache brushed. 😂😂

Thanks Luke!! Hopefully he would have!!
wooooow amazing guys!!!!!!!
Thank you!!! 😄😄
A very happy birthday Charlie.❤😄
As I watch this the link for “we cast a piece of cake in resin” pops up right after you said it’s Charlie’s birthday yesterday. Happy birthday Charlie
Happy birthday Charlie!
Awsome!
Thank you!!
Happy Birthday Charlie
He says thank you!
Happy birthday Charlie.
Interesting concept. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Robert! We will!!
Happy birthday Charlie
Thanks Randy!!
Cool piece
Beautiful branding work on the table guys!
I have to say - the client picked a beautiful wood for this art piece.
But most important - Happy Birthday Charlie ❤💕🎂🍰 - I love you man!
'Charlie is in the way....' No wonder Dylan's father call Charlie 'his favourite son 😂

Happy Birthday Charlie.
Happy birthday, Charlie!!! You deserve a nice juicy t-bone!
He agrees!!
Happy birthday charlie
He says thanks Jason!!
He is a cute little pup though
I can't believe it's been a year already. Happy Birthday Charlie.
Charlie got that peanut butter delight for his birthday 🎂
DAMN!!! I ADORE this table! ❤️.
I always say I don't have a blood type, I have a roast level... So this would be a great table!!
Hahaha well we could build one for you too if you'd like 😄
I bet that was the best smelling epoxy pour that y'all have done.
Definitely the weirdest, it was such an odd smell hahaha
This would be really cool with a few thinner layers then some nice warm lights recessed into the bottom to diffuse light around the beans from underneath
The craftmanship is beautiful. I don't like the coffee bean look, but I get why the client wanted it. Nice video
happy birthday Charlie
Charlie looked happy up on the table, I wonder if an opaque ribbon made to look like creamer would be possible. Another great video thank you and have a great weekend.
Yes he did haha, that would be cool haha!
Thanks so much, you too!!
Would have been aesthetically cool to shape it like a coffee bean but practically needs to be square.
Why do I feel like I watched half of this already 🤣 beautiful result 👍
Hahaha 🤭
Krásná práce 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

It had such a weird smell of epoxy and coffee mixed together haha!
Yes we will see the table on the podcast! And Thanks John!!

Great looking table.
Happy 1st birthday, Charlie. Hope your day was as special as you are.
so nice...can you tell me about sanding process?only dry sanding on this table top?
The only thing better would be a longer more involved video! Nice piece!

another great looking table. oh charlie arf arf howl bark and arffff
Thank you hahaha Charlie appreciates what you had to say
Either more coffee beans or brown epoxy layer underneath which will help with the white spots also under the table the beans will not fall off in time.
Good job bro
Thank you so much 😀
Can your ceramic coating be put on over a polyurethane finish ?? Thanks! 👍

Maybe corners should be full as it is now, and in the middle less coffee beans will catch the eyes when the light go through the resin and seeing the pieces floating in the middle 🤭😍🥰
Would it be easier to mix your resin, then dump the beans in the resin, then pour it out?

Would like to make a river table with engine parts any advice on prepping the parts
Hi!
Degreasing any part needed, clean up, air dry them, and paint clear top epoxy on all parts?

Probably how I would do it, if no one gave me a better idea?

“Epocoffee” there’s no coming back from that one Dylan, we all heard it
Hahahahaha
Don't think he would have not thought it twice to include it in the video. The amazing viewers like you is what allowed him to keep that part in the video.
as long as it's short for "epic coffee"...
Did you wash oils off coffee beans first (& if so, with what?) Or is washing the beans not necessary?
Does the oil in the beans affect the strength of the table?
Did you have any issues with the oil on the coffee beans interfering with the epoxy?
With hindsight maybe should've done a darker base pour before the beans, can see through a few gaps in the beans but still awesome job👍
Muy bueno
Me gustaría que explicaran el porque de los pasos que siguen para aprender más
Over time how will the slight moisture in the coffee beans affect how it looks?
If they are roasted there wouldn't be any moisture
What you do use to polish the resin?
Not bad. I would have wanted lighter color to see more into it. I would then would have added lights underneath. Happy late late birthday Charlie Chuckles.😅

Does the type of coffee bean matter when using it for a pour?
