Mate! Great design especially the legs. Elegant joinery! I love your use of epoxy! However, it really brought out the trypophobia in me - goosebumps for a few hours!😹
Apologies for the necro thread (never used epoxy, but thinking about it)…could you just use tape around all the edges (like the leg) instead of constructing a box to pour the resin, or was this made only because the holes were completely through the wood itself?
Yes you could probably just use tape on the bottom of the slab. I used this tray only because it's something I already had and I want to get my money's worth out of it.
It will work, but it will be a darker spot. Sometimes, I fill it with epoxy, scrape off the extra, then sand right over top, and the sawdust sticks to the epoxy.
Did you use the same deep pour epoxy on the smaller voids as well? If so any issues doing that? Im working on a table that has alot of small cracks in the face of the wood that I want to fill with Epoxy as well as a large deep void.
Nice video, the router jig is something I need to build! On the smaller holes that you spread/wiped on to fill, did you simply sand the excess off or did you router that off first? I am doing a table with lots of small worm tracks and trying to figure out the best way to get the excess off.
The legs are definitely awesome. The pour wasn't the bad Idea it was the caulk around the perimeter of the slap instead of just around the holes. That's why it had that sheet of epoxy underneath.
