Welcome! This is Geologist Jerry Bergosh from Jurassic Play Sands and we are celebrating our 25th year in business selling our clean, dust-free sands for use in sand boxes, sand & water tables, play therapy, reptile substrates and more! Visit us at JurassicSand.com.
I kept my sand in a covered container and have not used it in awhile. I just check it. And it smells like mildew. Do you think I can get it back clean enough to use?
Thanks for the video ..you'd be quite surprised to know how many parents of special needs children are looking for these..might be worth selling these badboys 😉
Question about the first rabbet-it seems like it should be 3/4” deep and 1/4”lip, but in the video you say 1/2”. I’m super new to routers-is there something I’m missing? Thanks!
@@randallhere8122 Fairly straightforward! I needed to make a sketch of the way the lap joint fits onto the rabbet joints and am still not convinced that the text on the blog matches what should happen. I also would recommend doing a small screw/dowel on each side of the middle piece to secure it. Have fun!
@@sarakramer4122 last question I promise. Although I have found this to be such an easy project (I'm almost done it) I'm stumped on the last lap joints....the 1/2" bit with 1"depth.....the bearing gets in my way lol....did you use a router table for yours?
If the width boards are 17.5", we are having trouble understanding how the center board should be 16.5"? If all 3 pieces are fitting between the length boards, shouldn't they all be 17.5"?
‼️Disclaimer to anyone that’s going to be making this‼️ Their measurements are wrong on the width boards. Just got finished cutting and sanding all the boards and put it together only to realize the width is too big. Not sure what the right measurements would be yet, just came back to double check I wrote them down right and rewatch the video. Kind of annoying that they must have realized that, because their end result of the table fits the ikea buckets. So they must have figured out the right sizes
Hi Joann, did you finally figure out the length of the width pieces? If they cut to 17.5”, are the ikea bins going to fit? Could you please share your experience with me? Thanks
Joann, you are correct. We are sorry for the mix up. We originally listed the width of the entire table, but since the piece drops in between the two lengths the width pieces are 17.5". We are trying to annotate the video but thank you so much for bringing this to our attention.
@@randallhere8122 I did, and the pieces did fit together. But unfortunately since I don’t live near an ikea I didn’t have the bins to see if they fit inside the table correctly. I had to wait several weeks for the bins to be shipped to me.
What are the dimensions of the stock used? Only the length is listed. Looking at photos and instructions it looks like they're maybe 1.125" tall, but not sure on the width. Dimensions of the finished table would be helpful too.
Hi. My kids love the Mojave sand. Question: I recently watched a video of a woman who cleaned and “sanitized” her sand. She repeatedly rinsed her sand in a bucket of water to remove debris (e,g, leaves twigs, etc.) by pouring out the debris until removed. She then put the sand on cookie sheets and baked it at 275 degrees. Your thoughts?
I use to study ece 1 & 2 when I was in high school (2019) and now I’m going bk to studying and working at a preschool so this was a great refresher when it comes to sensory play!
Thank you! This video was really helpful. I just ordered on and is out for delivery today. Do you have a video on how to assemble the kids swivel egg chair? I picked those up Saturday but still need to assemble! 😊
Thanks for the video. I was wondering if there was enough room underneath the table to swap out the legs? Or do the pre-existing fixtures for the legs not allow that?
So, there is a bolt with a premade screw slot, if that makes sense. But if you wanted the table to be higher I think hairpin legs would work. You may not be able to screw in each of the predrilled holes, but I think there would be enough room to switch out the legs. We have a separate video where we make a DIY version of this table that you may find helpful. Hope this helps!
Hi, thanks for your quick reply to my previous question. We are trying to build the table but due to lack of experience are confused on the length measurement for the width pieces. You have the width piece cut to a length of 22 7/8 inches, can you explain how that ends up fitting? From what we see if the center piece is 16.5 inches, then the width pieces should be cut to a length of 17.5 inches, not 22 7/8. Because isn't the width piece length the same length as the table covering, which you have listed as 17.5 inches? Thanks
Hi, did you end up building this? If the length of the width pieces change to 17.5” is it going to work with the ikea bins? It is really appreciate if you share your experience. Thanks
Joann, is correct. We are sorry for the mix up. We originally listed the width of the entire table, but since the piece drops in between the two lengths the width pieces are 17.5".
Hi! We take cleanliness and safety very seriously. When working with children, especially in a clinical setting, where multiple children may play in the same sand or with the same miniatures. You want to disinfect your miniatures, sand, and trays between each session. If you are concerned with the amount of chemicals in the products consider watching the third video in this series to understand some differences between cleaning products (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PJnW-I70SdI.html). We hope this helps!
Thanks for this very detailed video! About the "table coverings" -- what type of paint/finish is on the ones you made? They look perfect and plastic-like. Thanks!
We sanded a thin piece of MDF, increasing the grit as we went to make the wood base as smooth as possible. Then we applied 3+ coats of primer, each time between coats sanding the primer down to create a smooth surface for the glossy paint to cover. Then applied 2 coats of a glossy paint to finish the piece. Hope this helps, thanks for watching!
