I'm Scott ! I like to make stuff but couldn’t think of a way to express that without my channel name sounding....well....yeah 😳😂 There isn't one facet of woodworking that I like more than others. Ok I lied I'm addicted to my lathe, but I genuinely like the challenge and zen like attitude of creating. I'm a dad, a husband, a volunteer Paramedic/Firefighter so I'll try and get projects up regularly but we will see how that works out. I hope that you enjoy what you find here, get inspired, maybe even learn a bit and if you do make sure to hit the subscribe button.
Very nice. I’m just now learning about this RS1000. So if I get one and get your cabinet plans ….Do you find that your router gets too hot in that cabinet? I currently have my router mounted to my table saw extension but my box around it, is all janky lol so it has plenty of air flow.
Keep at it! It's a great technique, but I often see people not level their fill properly. Yours looks pretty great here. Some tips to think about❤: Epoxy has a tendency to cave, especially for bigger fills, so overfilling is helpful. Also, maybe try mixing your color in with one part before mixing in part 2. Just some common ones
table has nice color etc BUT epoxy tables are soooooo gross. just use epoxy sparingly for voids etc and go with an oil finish for the actual wood. pro tip of the day!!
I don't know a thing about laser. I bought the 20watt to put on my HD520 and it's so slow, am I doing something wrong,? I wish next wave will start having tutorials. When you call tech assistance they don't know much at all. What you just did would have taken me hours to produce.
Thanks for the video. I have the Shark HD520 with the spoilboard set and love it. Having said that, flattening the black MDF spoilboard is probably the messiest thing I've ever done in my shop. Still, it's a great value as you said. I do have an unrelated question for you. How do you have your spindle set so that the dust boot reaches all the way down to the work surface. I have my spindle mounted all the way up and the dust boot fibers end maybe one inch below the bottom surface of the collet, which puts it above the work piece top surface with most bits.
Hi Gary! I don’t know the actual setting as I am out of the shop on vacation however using the compression fitting for the spindle I adjust it down so that the bristles are in contact with my work piece and tighten the bolts. There is more than enough “float” that way to make proper contact. Is this what you are asking?
@@the_crafty_studio_official Yes, it was that. I've got my spindle set all the way up in the compression fitting and still have a gap to the work surface with most bits. Thank you for the quick reply, and for the video!
I am happy with it. I do not use lasers in my workflow very often so I’m still learning so it’s hard for me to judge speed. That being said it is very easy to use and I find the learning curve to be very manageable. I haven’t tried to cut with it yet but have been using it mainly for logo burning and etching and it is a solid performer.
Why are you using clean gravel and not gravel with fines? Clean gravel doesn't truly compact especially with no water for density. Won't be a firm surface for the concrete and will end up cracking with any sort of substantial load on it
This design is exactly what I was looking for. All the other videos are with people that have the fold down tables for the open stand which takes up way more room. I too just tried to check out your website and could not find the plans. Please advise, thanks
Hi David! Thanks for asking. The design had a lot of cross hatching and was running at 200 inches per minute. As I remember it was a 5 hour burn give or take.
It seems this guy does not want to share this information. Someone else asked the same question and has received no response also. Kinda annoying that he makes money off of our watching his “informative” videos but doesn’t share information which would help us get up to speed on our own similar projects without toasting a bunch of bits/cash.
I have a new table that I wanna make after a couple practice pieces. This slab has a decent crack at the one end and was wondering if I needed to bowtie it before the epoxy or if an epoxy fill would be enough to hold it together in the future?
Hey Mike. Not at all. Great question and thanks for asking. Resin acts as a glue and has more than enough holding power therefore bow ties are not necessary.

1. Camera setup. 2. Everything done slow so viewers can see what has been done. 3. Making script, things to be said. 4. Repeat if not said correctly. 5 video editing.... Probably missed few more reasons why it's 3x more time demanding.
Interestingly enough, editing isn’t even in my numbers. That is an in between admin function that just keeps me from my tools in general. All that though, I love what I do!
I don't know about anyone else, but I like the finished ends better than a cut-off one, it looks more 'finished' to me. If you hadn't made a video about this, I would have thought you meant it to be that way. Very nice table! I'm glad I could see this process too. Blessings to A Soldier's Journey Home as well.
Thank you so much. It’s a design toss up. Some people like to see the rings on the ends. Thank you for sharing your perspective and yeah check them out. Wonderful organization 🤘🏻
