This table looks so amazing!!! I think you should make that video on sealing the wood. Thank you for sharing! One love!!!
Thank you! And I’m actually compiling all my footage from all my past build to narrate
And btw...that slab is SICK! some crazy figure and colors. So beautiful! Live watching your videos
Stumbled across your channel, totally love your content. Right now I am devouring your builds.
I appreciate it!
I feel like I can get what you're going for with that channeling with the v bar. But I, for one, would like to see a dedicated video on the process.
Awesome to know!
Very nice work as usual
Awesome job, truly a beautiful piece of wood. You brought it to another level, my friend. I really like that trim router base plate as well. I too, am a classic tipper 😂
It’s by POWERTEC, I got it off Amazon! And yeah I’ve lost track of how many edges I’ve had to trim because I tipped it and gouged the edge
A beautiful table. As for the middle sections that you did not want epoxy to fill, if you had sanded and finished them with Rubio before your epoxy pour, you could have kept them safe a clear even if there was a mistake with the pour. Even if they were not "finish clean" by the end of the project, Rubio fixes up and recoats fairly easy.
That’s a good point
Very nice! Interesting idea with the angled bar, I like it. Subbed for a local Houstonian
Awesome! Thank you!
Great work
Thanks!
Ohh very nice table
beautiful piece dude @
Thank you!
Hi Lone Star ⭐️, That looks awesome, I wish I could get some of that wood, but I live in France, I am trying to get my garage/wookshop new floor laid, weather is not great,
Yeah the weather doesn’t always like us. What are some of your more common species in France?
@@lonestarwoodworking3810 There is oak walnut, but the main region is pine, I have trees in my garden, about 2 years ago I had to remove some, I have some nice pieces of ash, one tree that I was hoping to be able to use some of it to make other some shelving or some pieces of furniture at some, When it came down it disintegrated, it took me roughly 10 to 15 minutes to prep the tree sawcut chainsaw et cetera making sure it was going to go in the right direction, as it came down, it twisted hit a side of an old caravan and just literally fell apart. It was so rotten, in fact, I would think those somewhere between 6 to 8 m inside of it that was hollow, I have also Alder , which obviously is very good for making guitar bodies, I do have about 6 to 8 slabs, which I could probably make something out of and probably another year or two time, I’m slowly air drying it at the moment,
There was a beautiful large burr on the tree, I have since useless, I made a very large fruit bowl for a friend of mine who lives back in the UK, it’s approximately 30 inches long by about 20 inches wide, I found it in such a way that it left large wings on the longer ends, so I spent around two days with a very large carving gouge and chopped the end out, The tree itself had to come down, as it was on the side of the river on my property, but was higher than what the electric cables were that were going across the river, I started to remove it, by using a very large electric winch, pulling it over, and at the time there was work being done on the property next door to me, where the electricity company was working, they told me in the end that they would remove it, normally this will cost a lot of money, but it was over electric cables they done it for nothing for me. They had to turn the mains electricity off whilst they dropped the tree part above the cables., The only annoying thing is, I’ve got it set up, so it would’ve fallen onto my land, they decided that they wanted to drop it into the river, it took me eight weeks to get it out, there’s about a one a half meter drop from my land into the river, Sorry, I seem to be gambling on a bit, on my old dude, living by myself in rural France, very rarely speak to anybody as I cannot speak French, I used to run my own specialist joinery company back in the UK, I still have a lot of my tools and machinery, Most of my business over the last 10 to 15 years was barn conversion projects, making very large windows and doors, One of my windows stands 4 1/2 m in height, it took eight people to lift it and pull it up into place, I think that’s enough for me ramping on for, stay safe, look forward to seeing some more work, I no doubt other next day or so. I’ll have a look at some more of your CZcams channel.,
I appreciate it!
beautiful! not the legs though ;)
well shot and narrated! well deserved sub!
Thank you! And yeah I’m 50/50 on the legs, but it’s what the client wanted
I started keeping a tub of Flex Seal paste on hand. That shit will stop any leak instantly. It's amazing. I did an oversized charcuterie board last month and did a shot job on the mold and that stuff saved me. Get some!
Oh it was in there, I guess I either just didn’t actually plug the leaking area or it was just that bad
@lonestarwoodworking3810 always an adventure isn't it!? What makes it fun. 😊
In the beginning when you were cleaning up the slathered was alot of dust in the air even with the fan. I work in my garage also but I use a couple of different types of dust masks. You r too young to have lung issues. The table turned out great. Very nice job. Can I ask u what you sold it for.
I do have a dust mask….and while this is no excuse not to use it….. I have lung and heart issues from the military. So kinda screwed there but I appreciate the concerns.
As for what this sold for, it was built at cost in exchange for this client’s professional services. Total cost to complete was just under $4k. If I were selling this at the normal rate I probably would have listed it for somewhere in the ballpark park of $8k. My rule is I have to make enough to do the project twice. So if it cost $1500 I charge $3k etc etc
thx again for the video. You do very nice work
Did you check for moisture those yellow streaks look like what black tail studio had in his failed tables
I checked those specifically because of that specific reason. They were actually the driest areas of the slab at 8.2. The rest read around 9-10
Try pouring only one gallon and letting it set up some before pouring the rest. That will seal up all the cracks under the slab and will prevent the problem you highlighted.
I’ve seen that a few times, definitely would have saved me a gallon or two, thanks for the tip
9:16 just another reason why I’ll probably never try an epoxy build
It is ALOT of prep. And any small missed detail can. I’m actively trying to move away from it. I’d rather work with big slabs that are more or less solid that just need little touch up epoxy pours
@@lonestarwoodworking3810 best of luck!!! Looking forward to your next video
Avoiding a type of project because of the potential difficulties will mean you will never grow as a maker. Sometimes the lessons learned on something you did not like, can be invaluable on a project you are deeply passionate about.
As for the angle iron strips to stabilize the slab, if someone can not figure out and understand the process from the video, then they probably do not have the ability to implement it in a project anyway, so i dont see the point of a video from that aspect. (I dont say that as an insult, just a factual statement)
However, a stand alone video that would come up in a search when a newbie is searching for different option for their project would be well worth the time if you care about that. I myself am the sort that likes to see a process from many different stand points and options when trying to learn new things online, so with that in mind i would say that i am one for "do the video" group.
I appreciate the input!
The fact that you were sitting there running the nylon wheel on a drill with no eye protection really annoyed me.
I had my welders safety squints on
Lesson to learn wall nut dust is poisoning
I appreciate the concern and I’m well aware of the issues that can arise from inhaling any dust.
@lonestarwoodworking3810 if you are aware and work from home and have kids dust collector and a mask for you, those kids want to keep you for awhile
Sorry didn’t watch all the way should have not doubted you
I wouldn’t consider it a bad thing to doubt someone on the internet 😂😂
Watching your stabilizing method makes sense, but since it's uniquely yours, why not do a video just about that?
I don’t disagree, an excess of info is always better than to little. It’s more so showing something or creating a piece of content that people actually wanna watch.
Other than using a V channel as opposed to a U channel there isn’t to much that is unique about this stabilization method.
@@ConcreteLand also agree with this
Please don't do a video on the c channels. Lol. I'd much rather watch you build tables!
I understand and appreciate that train of thought, however there are a few specifics of the process that I have not touched on that could make the whole thing a little more clear for the more beginner demographic of my audience.
The purpose you used water popping for was probably the only real reason to use water popping on a project like this.
Anyone who water pops after every sanding grit does not understand the process and just wasting their time. Even water popping after the last sanding grit is subjective and serves no real purpose, especially if you sand or scuff between finish coats and pointless with film finishes. the only purpose is to get a subjectively smother surface if you are using a single coat finish like Rubio or a penetrating finish like BLO. Like i said, its subjective.
Good insight, I was never really educated on its purpose. Kinda had to just figure that out
