Nice Work! Pro Tip - Leave your boards long, when you dig your channels for the epoxy don't go all the way to the end of the board. When you cut your coasters, just cut off the ends. This will save you the step of having to tape the ends and will reduce the chance of a leak.

That makes so much sense, thank you

@SinkyYT 4 года назад

I'm so glad I found this video. I was going to go and try and make a resin table but it's probably best if I try making some coasters first for practice.

@lpmwalker_of_sky1903 2 года назад

I agree, the coasters seem doable first.

SHEIN had a mold for a table if you want to test it out

@reyescastellanoz4688 8 месяцев назад

This is genius yet so simple !! No need for a mold !!

How much grits did u use to sand for finishing ??and also what clear coat did u use?? And what type of wood did u use??thanks for this vid im doing a finish carpentry career

@wish8486 4 года назад

might try to make a knife handle out of this, very well done dude.

@90sbabybuddha 2 месяца назад

I’m going to try this but instead of sanding my river I’ll use the mach3 CNC to carve them out.

What was that coat you applied in the can, it looked like it eliminated the need for polish on the resin , or was polish not included in the video ?

Do they absorb water or do they hold condensation on the surface?

@gregariouswoodworks1270 Год назад

the coasters in my video I put poly on so it keeps the water from being absorbed into the wooden coaster. Feel free to check my channel out

@lomein9320 3 года назад

I've made cool coasters that I've cut out a shape & put an inlay piece in part of it. I have stained both pieces prior to gluing inlay in. I would like to now fill the void space with clear epoxy. How do I do that without sanding off the stain on the other parts? 😬. Would appreciate any suggestions, thanks

Like these Jacob, nice work! I like your use of angle grinder and flap wheel to shape River. I’ve never done that before. Any specific tips on using flap wheel method?

@jacobelliott5792 3 года назад

Well I recommend getting the rounded edge flap disc. I didn't have one when I did this and it makes it difficult to get the rounded edge on the sides of the river.

@jayesteves4907 Год назад

How thick are these coasters?

@UncleJoe1231 5 лет назад

Way easier to route a slot down the middle & then go back over it & just move the piece a little bit left or right to make the curves. That takes forever, I did mine in about 5 minutes. Just an old guy here!!

@Aaakeith 4 года назад

Do you mean that you routed the slot, and then used his method to “mess up” the edges a bit more? Your way seems much easier

@UncleJoe1231 4 года назад

@@Aaakeith Yes, just be careful & make sure you go the right way with your router. I do it on a router table. I actually make my coasters 4X4 & use a 2-3/4 Forstner bit & drill about 1/4-3/8 " deep & then just pour epoxy into them. They aren't "river" but look really nice.

@jacobelliott5792 4 года назад

Seal-A-Cell can be used as a finish by itself or topped with Arm-R-Seal. I use it because it really makes the grain pop! In this instance I used Arm-R-Seal on top.

It is definitely trial and error but too avoid most epoxy errors the best step would be to read the mixing ratio the manufacturer recommends. If you're interested in coasters, feel free to check my video out. I have multiple epoxy designs that you might enjoy!

If you make a template from fiberboard, and cut the "river" with a trimmer, especially since it is. That would be several times faster, and with a vacuum cleaner, also without dust. Nevertheless, my like 901th.
