    That spalted maple gave the whites a nice texture!

    This demonstrates so well how making things looks messy until you get to the last step and BAM! It looks awesome. Really nice work.

    Watched a DIRESTA video for the first time 3 weeks ago.
    Man, I'm hooked watching DIRESTA video's.
    Me myself got a background in welding and construction work.
    Started wood work 6 months ago.
    Going back to the job market around april 2019.
    This man inspires me so much, including a shit load of lessons learned allready.
    Thank you Jimmy Diresta , I'll keep watching / learning.

    I was *just* about to comment about how it would have looked a lot better if you'd inlaid it instead of having it on top of the board. Then you started working on that absolutely beautiful border for it.
    That'll teach me not to question Jimmy Diresta. Excellent job as always.

    Amazing work Jimmy I feel privileged just watching your vids. As an amateur wood worker I have to ask. Why did you cut the strips on top of another board starting at about 2:26?

    • @jimmydiresta
      @jimmydiresta  Před 8 lety +16

      To basically "joint" them ... I left them 1/8" wide to be able to clean the glued up edge , thank you !

    • @grandolddrummer
      @grandolddrummer Před 8 lety +8

      +Happy Dad I thought the board underneath was serving as a makeshift "zero-clearance" insert. I think there was a tip in the Table Saw Tips video to this effect...or maybe it was the bandsaw one.

    Work of art. Beautiful. Was that epoxy resin you used on the top? Is that more durable than polyurethane finishes?

    • @tomalcolm
      @tomalcolm Před 8 lety +2

      Looked like two part epoxy to me. Same question.

    • @mckenziekeith7434
      @mckenziekeith7434 Před 8 lety +4

      +SyberPrepper It was definitely West System epoxy. They make a great product but it is expensive. Personally I have not had good luck using it as a finish. It builds like crazy (you can pour it on if the surface is horizontal) and self-levels, but it goes cloudy and turns yellow. If you let it cure, you can wet sand it and then cover it with one layer of varnish, and that seems to help protect it from yellowing. I think the varnish has UV inhibitors.

    I think this is your best project ever! The amount of work for this is above and beyond what I initially expected.

So much work went into this project and I think you achieved something even greater than your effort. Well done!
