EPIC FIRE & EPOXY Table Build with a $4,000 Slab

Did that really cost 106,000$?

To hell with groming menlook better with beards it's true you know what I mean

I love the channel John I just don't knot if I could do it to that piece of wood?? Anyone?

Doesn't lacquer yellow

Always brush the pieces found with resin first.

that woodcraft store is about miles from my house

You know you could have cut a string to lenght, tied one end to the nail and one end to the pencil.and got a circle the same way right ?

The other piece of the slab looked really cool.

did you check the wood for warping after the burn?

I love it when its warped and shows the natural wood causing a orange color. Im going to try to make it and warp a side or the corners on purpose :)

I learned the yellow happens when you use the wrong resins. It cooks too fast and turns yellow but there’s probably other things that cause it too that I haven’t learned yet

I think yellow because of the spraying, best to seal with epoxy first before pouring

maybe build an star wars or star trek mini model fight scene table plate :D

I got a unreal idea for ya

A thin coat of a transparent "golden" resin would have made it all look intentional.

It hurts my heart that you took a beautiful $4000 slab and basically wasted $2700 worth of it.

sick!

One carpenter to another. You took all that time and effort to wear that gas mask and then cut wood with a skill saw maskless. I pike my tools too man. And love to show them off ☺️

Love how you can get kicked in the jolly rancher and skittles yet keep goin and making something amazing! Keep it up man love all your videos. I think I’ve watched 3 years worth now catching up

I really LIKE that base , very creative!

If you plan on using that much epoxy, try “poking” big holes in the bottom after you tip it upside down

You people and your burned wood projects...Burned wood looks like crap. Why you like this method boggles my mind. But if that's what you like, have at it.

dude so many bubbles in the epoxy

A perfect example of serendipity in my book. I was disappointed when you torched that whole slab. I thought it would be a bit plain just black and clear. Then when you said about the yellowing I was intrigued, and as soon as I saw that edge I thought, "That looks beautiful, like the reflection of fire.". It absolutely highlights that edge perfectly. Then when you cupped it and re-exposed the raw timber with Miss Piggy, I thought, "There you go, display that beautiful timber." Funnily enough Cam did the same thing with his charred table when he planned it because of a slight warp and ended up saying he loved the look. I agree with him. Like a nod to the original timber.
So, all in all, I think it actually came out more beautiful than you had actually planned.
And you gained a subscriber.

So you start by saying giving back to viewers who watch the video. Then the sleeves go up.

For whatever reason I resisted watching this channel every time the algorithm told me I'd like it. But I finally caved, did what the algorithm told me to do and goddamn if they weren't absolutely 100% correct. John and crew have quickly become my favorite to watch and learn from. Really admire how all the mistakes are shown in real time and that John is very honest about how he feels when mistakes happen. Seeing him keep control of himself under that type of stress has legit helped me better deal with my own frustrations when I'm building. Love the channel, love the work. Fantastic all around

I dont know dude, i kind of dig it tbh!
I like the look of it myself.

Sick!

I love the end result ...it looks perfect, despite the "mistakes"... it's an awesome look when you were finished work'n it!

You guys are bad ass

When you char your wood like that it tends to warp, thats probably why it was not level after the pour of epoxy. just a thought, love your videos keep up the good work!

How the heck do I Epoxy a big crack in a live edge slab coffee table?

Kind of felt like a shame to take such a nice slab and burn the bleep out of it. Fun idea for a table though.

Awe you cut all the good part lol

Love your content. I live a mile from the Wahl headquarters so was super excited to see them support you.

What is the sander are you using?

I take it the office has AC 😄 🤣 😂 great looking table, wish one could capture the flame in resin. The moment of time captured as flame kissed wood

Why didn't u drill a hole in the end of ur compass stick hehehe.

is it just mean or it seems like a painting.

Lol.. the Napoleon cut to cracked me up

woodworking plan shutter

what three character traits would your friends use describe you?

The first time I did a river table I screwed it up and threw it in the burn pile. I've continued to make mistakes but have been able to reassess and fix them and stop losing my freaking mind when these mistakes happen. I credit a lot of that to you, watching you work through problems and giving awesome tips. Thanks for saving me time, money, and frustration!

"Sometimes we forget that epoxy is like really heavy" hahahahahahaha!

How did you clean up the epoxy on the floor in your other video haha
