    Great work! Just to save you some time on sanding. Rubio only requires you to go to a 180 grit sanding. Spread it out and let it cure for 24 hours, you can go over it with a polishing pad (maroon pad), do a second coat, and its done! Love these videos.

    That's the thing with Epoxy and other finishes - you get stressed when you rough up between coats, or do some sanding that looks a little uneven. When the liquid hits, it just goes away. I had issues with some clear epoxy on 2 knot holes and I had to drill into them, rough up a little bit, vacuum it out and refill. Came out perfectly clear, amazing.

  • @mikemonnat7368

    I've been making river keychains for a bit (no sales, but that's another story 🙂) and discovered early on that sheathing tape sucks for anything you want non-permanent. I moved to cheap, clear, packing tape, but in the end, cheap, dollar store green painters tape works *much* better. Even direct pours using the tape as the mold sides, and it peels off the resin clean. The cheap adhesive doesn't leave near as much residue as brand name painter's tape. Just my two cents 🤷‍♂ Love the content, and thanks for the tip on the drill block. Never seen one, but I can darn sure use it.

It's basically content outside my algorithm and it was one of the videos where you do free repairs for your community. I went to your channel and saw all of your other videos and you were very open and positive about your making process. My best friend gets very anxious when she has to think about things and shes told me your videos in particular are a big help and shes looking into woodworking/ ,maker spaces now. keep being gr8 and forgive my poor grammar, english is my first language but i dont care that much :)

    Hey, I would LOVE to be able to make legs like those, for these Typeset-Drawer coffee tables I'm building. Do you have a set of plans for those you'd be willing to sell us?
