I’m usually not a fan of the epoxy river tables.. most people do a glittery effect with too much of an unnatural color. Reminds me of a bowling alley. I guess I’m more of a minimalist and earth toned person. That being said, this table is absolutely beautiful and I love it.

Amazing table and apoxy. Suggestion on best methods to a beginner project? Thanks for sharing video.

@smttate-gs3ot Год назад

Wondering if anyone has ever done a similar project for a fireplace surround? If so, would love to see photos!!!

@23stamps Год назад

Very nice. Like another individual below I am interested in the black pigment mix ratio. I think your table has the perfect balance of translucent and black. 6-9 drops per bucket but how much epoxy yu mixing at a time? Thanks

@mrow7598 2 года назад

Larger tables you'll want some type of bar on the bottom of the table to keep the table from warping.

@SuperPlexer Год назад

What type of caulk did you use?

@travisgosney4417 9 месяцев назад

Table looks absolutely amazing. I am in the middle of flattening my slabs and I’m going to use black epoxy but want to be able to see the live edge as well. Did you achieve that look by not sanding the underside as much or did you pour clear on top.

@rockler 9 месяцев назад

Hello Travis, Yes, the bottom was only sanded to 240 grit, the epoxy portion on the top was sanded to 600. Don't use too much black pigment, so it stays smokey and translucent.

@EnricoNoriega Год назад

Beautifully done! How many liters of epoxy did you use here overall?

@rockler Год назад

35.96 Liters or 9.5 Gallons.

@NunchakuTutorialsWeekly Год назад

How did you get it leveled?

@caithnessrivertables1614 Год назад

Hi Rockler woodworking. I have never wet sander but I am about to on a river table, a little similar to yours, how do you add the water, is it by spraying on the resin. Do you ever have problems with the wood getting wet. I assume the sandpaper discs are not the same as for dry sanding Thanks John.

@rockler Год назад

Wet sanding is done with a very high-grade grit sandpaper (400 and up) and is used by spraying a little bit of water on the surface just enough to build up a little slurry. The paper is called wet/dry paper and is specifically used for wet sanding.

@billrobinson8939 Год назад

Thanks. I'm on the verge of my first epoxy table. Going to start with an end table. You have answered many of my questions and calmed A bunch if fears. Love the Walrus oil finish, but why is the epoxy so dull? Is there any way to give it some shine?

@rockler Год назад

You would have to sand it to higher grits. She stopped at 240. To get a glossy surface you would need to sand up into the thousands. And may need to get into buffing and polishing for a true glass look. Some people skip all that and pour a flood coat of clear epoxy over the whole table, but then it applies that look to the wood as well.

@AyushGhimireTradeLaw 3 месяца назад

Was the epoxy and wood equally leveled or did you have to put the table through a sander or router to level it before you started the sanding process? Mine never gets leveled to that degree that i can start sanding straight away!

@ericgill5974 Год назад

You mentioned that you sent it off to the lumber yard. Will most lumber yards surface a slab for you or is that just a connection you have?

@rockler Год назад

Yes, many lumber yards offer flattening services. We recommend calling your local lumber yard or mill to confirm before going.

@ltrale1031 5 месяцев назад

Can you also share how to measure or know the live-edge slabs are ready for epoxy project to avoid crack, wrap?

@rockler 5 месяцев назад

You can use a moisture meter to check that the wood is dry enough for use. We recommend using wood that has been kiln dried.

@jimvaughn6071 11 месяцев назад

What do you recommend for finding reasonably priced live edge wood for these kinds of projects?

@rockler 11 месяцев назад

Many of our stores carry live edge slabs. You could swing by your local Rockler and check out the selection!

@LindsayEllis-ch1ic 3 месяца назад

Looks great!! I see you used 9 gallons of epoxy, what size table is this?

@rockler 3 месяца назад

Hello, We aren't sure of the exact dimensions. Cass, from Stonemill & Co. made this table. It looks like it may be around 3' x 6' and 2" thick.

@kristy508 9 месяцев назад

What are you cleaning it with? Just water.. ? But a beautiful piece ❤

@rockler 9 месяцев назад

Cleaning with water would be fine for the resin portion. Water will pop the grain on the wood though, requiring another sanding. To avoid that, you can use mineral spirits, or denatured alcohol.

@Falconsonoffurychan Год назад

Can I use a sheet of tybek with tape around the edges, or just the tape?

@rockler Год назад

Epoxy doesn't stick the the smooth side of sheathing tape. That is the key here.

@paulanascimento229 2 года назад

@mollyoconnor5376 5 месяцев назад

How wide can the epoxy portion be? Does there need to be dowels or any support system to make sure the epoxy and wood don’t come apart?

@rockler 5 месяцев назад

What does it mean to take it to the lumberyard for “machining”?

@rockler Год назад

That means she took the table out of the mold and had a lumber yard flatten the whole thing by "machining" it. Most likely it was run through a planer, wide belt sander or flattened on a large cnc router. They machine the top and bottom sides so they are flat and parallel. It looks like they trimmed and squared all the edges for her as well.

@julialemm3177 Год назад

What do you send it to the lumber yard for exactly?

@rockler Год назад

For flattening on a wide belt planer/sander and trimming the edges square.

@freedomring3022 2 года назад

did you use a router on the edges?

@stonemillandco Год назад

Nope just by hand!

@WalterRiggs 2 года назад

Beautiful piece. How does one move this around without the epoxy.wood bond popping apart? Seems like that would be a thing

@rockler 2 года назад

The bond between the wood and the epoxy is actually incredibly strong.

@stonemillandco Год назад

This is a reason why it’s super important to use the penetrating epoxy and be sure you are either sanding that after it cures, or pouring the deep pour before the penetrating epoxy is fully cured!

@davido4793 Год назад

what kind/brand of caulk did you use?

@rockler Год назад

We aren't sure. Cass, from Stonemill & Co., made this video. We would recommend using a fast curing silicone, as to a traditional caulk though.

@ericspurrell2843 Месяц назад

Can this weather as an outdoor table?

@rockler Месяц назад

Eventually, left to the elements, the sun and nature will always win. That being said, there are UV resistant epoxies and out door finishes you can apply. However, they will require regular up keep.

@morana15 Год назад

How much would something like this you would sell for+ what are supplies costs for a table of this size overall? $300? ( assuming you have wood & place to work where...???

@rockler Год назад

Hello, This video was made by Cass, from Stonemill & Co. You would have to reach out to her for more info on this. Here is her website - www.stonemillandco.com/ - Thanks!

@MostlyCreativeVideos 10 месяцев назад

Great job. A little vague though on the details for a "How To" video for example "Only adding a little to give a little color" - How much is a little among many other things in the video? Again stunning execution would just love to "Know" more ;)

@rockler 10 месяцев назад

Adding color is like seasoning with salt and pepper - Add to taste. When tinting and adding mica powders to epoxy, the way it looks at the beginning of the pour is pretty much the way it will look at the end. Mix a little color in, then pour some of the mixed epoxy into a small clear container at the same depth as the actual pour to see what it will look like.

@MostlyCreativeVideos 10 месяцев назад

@@rockler thank you. It looks wonderful with the gradation like a real river and great depth ;)

Can you share How you calculate eproxy to use?

@rockler 5 месяцев назад

Hello, MAS has a resin calculator on their website at - masepoxies.com/resin-calculator/ - Thanks

@quintonditmore1639 Год назад

I missed the part when you removed the section of wall that covered the epoxy

@GregandLiz1017 8 месяцев назад

What kind of wood is that?

@rockler 8 месяцев назад

Hello, Cass from Stonemill &Co. made this table and video, but it looks like Maple.

@Ronschulz65 2 месяца назад

Why do you send it out to the lumber yard

@rockler 2 месяца назад

Hello, Cass from Stonemill & Co. sent this to a lumber yard for flattening in a wide belt sander, and straight line ripping and squaring the edges. These processes can be done in a small garage shop in other ways, but would be many hours of labor intensive work. Whereas the lumber yard can do it in around 30 minutes or less.
