DIY Epoxy Dining Table Build-Part Two of Two-How to Woodworking 

Plans are perfect. Thanks Shannan!

Doc R thanks Doc, happy hunting!

Pro's would use quality tools built to last, not over priced junk like this. (In reference to the festool items)

@@Mr.SisterFisster never fails, someone has to have a negative comment.

furseisekilulz very good!

continues to complete a well done professional job...

I would more than settle for being as good as his: "not a professional"!

I’ve used that since this video. Works great!

Wow, well said!

How much do they cost for example the one like this in video?

@@mihapecavar anywhere from $1000 - $5500

@@labrikorn_3299 $11,000 is pricey for a table, but you (or me) are not his customer base. The people who can afford this table aren't fretting over the money or trying to make ends meet. The slab of wood probably cost $2K+ alone. Look at the link he provided. Some slabs go for over $6K and that's just for raw wood.

Wow, thanks so much!

I know right! amazing workmanship . I would be oh so lost doing the steps this guy just did...I can barley caulk...LOL.

Just start small. Practice with the epoxy resin and I'm sure you will create a beautiful piece.

Oh, thanks for saying so!

Thanks! I’ve actually thought a felt or velvet type of background would be better. These take a bit of editing

@@BlacktailStudio Yes, velvet(een) is the best but pretty pricy. I only used that when the BG was at the same plane as the subject and no falloff could be used to help the contrast. Felt is just thrown in a bag for location and takes no care can be folded easily and generally handles no fuss. BTW, we called this "drop black effect" and it really punches up the color, obviously. Thanks for getting back.

There’s still annoying music, just super quiet. And thanks!

Agreed!

👊👊

Wow, cheers my friend!

Not my idea, but thanks!

Oh thanks!

Thanks Simon!

Thanks man! Always new trends and techniques to learn!

Thanks for saying so!

A 'suggestion' for what exactly?

I’d be happy to make you a few 😊

@@BlacktailStudio where are you? How do I dontact you?

*contact

Wow thanks!

That’s what I’m here for!

David Kidd oh nice! We’re actually hosting workshops now if you want a little extra confidence.

Blacktail Studio oh man that would be great. Issue is I’m uk based! Unless you’re doing online workshops?

Blacktail Studio when are you planning to do the workshop and where? I live in Seattle.

Thanks so much Heather!

Thanks bob!

The walnut slab by itself was more than likely a few thousand dollars alone.

Seems justified to me. He did a beautiful job and the labor was intense.

Sounds about right for a slab that big, with that much epoxy, that many man hours, and all that back and forth to other locations.

Well there'd be at least $1000 in expenses from outsourcing steps to 2 other businesses (using that woodwork shop and getting it finished), the slab already would cost God knows how much, low 4 figures no doubt, a crap tonne of epoxy (not cheap) the steel channels, legs, and hardware would be no less than $200, probably more, so with just those things alone we're probably at about $4000 in costs, not even including fuel usage in driving all around the state. Then there's the fact it probably took anywhere from 50-100 man hours on his part (just for the making part) to earn the remaining $7,000, remembering that he no doubt has additional overheads and a whole bunch of equipment costs to offset, seeing as this is a business, as well as no doubt spending a dozen or more hours just liaising with the client before even starting the build, more hours during, and again after, including photography, etc Like, yeah that's a lot for a table, but there's a reason for it

Probably took a couple hundred hours to make and a slab that big was probably 5k already.

Awe shucks! Thanks!

What kind of legs would you recommend for a table like this? I like the look of combining wood and metal and while not a fan of epoxy, that black epoxy is something else on this table.

I love the look of wood and metal also, but when you have such beautiful wood and do so much work to make the table even more beautiful and unique, those plain metel legs make me cry.

@@nysunflower9439 the table has a lot of texture so using plain legs is the way to go. Jeez you guys have no taste or knowledge of art 🙄🙄🙄

Franz Borow being an artist, I do know something about art. One very important thing I know is that art speaks to everyone differently. Personally, I love the way the Spanish blend wood and metal. In my view, it would have worked better with legs that had some curve or scroll. But, to each his own. The table is still beyond gorgeous.

firebirdude2 My thoughts exactly. I'd probably want a sheet of toughened glass on top of table as protection. Trouble is, apart from the additional cost, it would probably detract from the table's overall beauty. Better if I stick to my beat-up pine table...

@@johncraske ecopoxy is a very durable epoxy and the finish whether it being oil or varnish ,it will be very durable and strong. no need to worry about it being delicate, though like any other wood project, always take care of it properly.

@@gcoca7450 Thanks

Thanks!

Multiple coats of satin conversion varnish.

Oh thanks! More videos coming out soon!

I don’t anymore 😉

Blacktail Studio good you deserve all the credit mate

that would be way too heavy

@@Brunn0121 Security doors can be even heavier that this one. By the way, with the right frame and hinges it's ok, it can be done.

Bill Admond I think $10,000 for a door is a bit steep, but to each his own lol

@@adammanning8882 There are rich people who own $2,000,000 houses that are ready to pay $3,000 only for a small decoration Murano glass, imagine how ready are they to pay $10,000 for the door to protect their asset. By the way, I understand this because I work in this field but for neither you nor I are able to buy such expensive houses lol

Bill Admond its not very strong 1 kick and the corner bit would come off or push the door open the bottom might snap off

Oh thanks!
