Hey Sam, I made it! I grew up in redwood country of Sonoma county CA. In the 60's we would hold demonstrations to stop the cutting of old growth redwoods. Recently we sold my childhood home that had clear heart redwood paneling in the dinning and tv rooms. The new owner painted it white! Sacrilidge!

@Devi0urS0ul Год назад

Hey Sam, about your "meter or CM or MM" question: The standard is mm or meter in building/carpenter world. However, the sizes you work with would in whole centimeters, saving you the need to switch between them. It's a bit uncommon, but a lot easier for you and us metric people can switch easily between them. 6ft->180cm will work just fine. Milimeters are fine

@Vaterkrater Год назад

I heard they use tape measures (and building plans) with only mm in Australia. Supposedly reduces waste significantly.

@endofradio3507 Год назад

In my experience (UK), 'cm' are only used by school kids, you'd get laughed at for using anything other than 'mm' and 'm' in industry.

@MrMrXtra Год назад

a carpenter usually measures in mm at all times, atleast in sweden. u dont want any decimals involved

@Devi0urS0ul Год назад

I agree, but cm is easier as allrounder. A slab sized 18000mm is a bit much, explaining when to use m, cm or mm is difficult because we switch naturally between them, but putting it into words is hard. Using cm as a global default is easier to do and all of us mentally switch to m or mm internally :)

@MaximEck96 Год назад

Use whatever you want that's the point of the Si unit system... Easy to convert to one from another unit 👍👌 1m =10dm =100cm =1000mm I thinkthat multiplying by 10 is accessible to anyone in the world 😉 But engineering units are basically mm or m depending on the size.

@alanfreilich1256 Год назад

Sam, that is a great piece for a wall hanging. I am almost done with a 14'x3'6" dining room table using old growth redwood and epoxy. I like the solution for sealing the bottom of the table. I have chosen to epoxy the top because it is a dining table and as you have stated, redwood is soft. I have poured 2 seal coats and now plan on sanding it smooth and getting any imperfections out of the epoxy. Then use the rubio finish for the final finish as I don't want the table to look like my bar top. You are right in that the wood is easier to move and cut but you have to be so much more careful when sanding. If you ever get tired of hauling your slabs around for flatting, check out the Manor Wood RU-vid on his router sled. I built one that is 11' x 54" that I can extend to make a table 16" long and 6' wide if I need. I then store hook it up on pullies to lift it up and store it next to the ceiling. The other trouble I found with the redwood is that sometime the wood spalls when putting in the threaded inserts.

@@dylanmorgan5589 The half a million dollars in custom equipment is a rented flatbed truck and some basic soil excavation equipment. The only custom equipment you’d need is a long chainsaw chain and a strong motor to make a powered cable saw.

@dylanmorgan5589 День назад

@Corzappy really underestimating the size of a redwood here, bud. Also, underestimating the cost of a custom chainsaw capable of cutting one of those in half. Processing them part way in the forest then hauling slabs is definitely a viable option, but I'd rather haul as much out of there as possible in one trip. This would depend on if I owned or rented the equipment. If you have a flatbed and an off-road heavy duty truck, I got a winch and a Stihl chainsaw.

I was given a small chunk of live edge redwood that had been (mostly) epoxy sealed some years ago (similar to the one you reattached). I mostly sanded that off and turned it into a multi section dish, then added a similar hard wax finish. it turned out really nice!

Sam, I'm from New Jersey but living in India now. Watching your videos has been a turning point for me. I notice all the beauty of craftsmanship wherever I go now. Thank you for that. And the many fans (countless in India) you've now got, think of you as an enlightened zen-like superhero. Cheers brother and thank you so much for sharing your heart with all of us around the world.

Sam, I love your videos and when I get my recording studio built, I plan on building an epoxy table top for the studio desk. I plan on using as many of your techniques that I can. You do amazing work and your finished products are worth every penny that you charge...

Sam, I recently found your channel. I'm not a wood worker, but it's amazing how all the details create such a beautiful piece of art. It's therapeutic to watch it all come together

Great Job Sam love how that turned out, super cool to be able to take something that people thought was trash for years and turn it into something you and your family can now enjoy for generations. Well done!

Sam, that is my favorite piece. Being a guitar wood fanatic, this finish and figuring is just perfect to me. Amazing job with the softwood!

Thank you Noel from sunny France.

Sam, I'm thrilled that any old growth tree parts are used. It would be amazing to have a piece of that history. Even the cast offs are too cool. Good luck reproducing your live edge and yes, I was wishing I could stop you from damaging the door frame. Another great share. Best to you.

Sam, this piece of wood is incredibly beautiful! Typically, I am not a wood fan, aesthetically; I lean towards very clean, sleek, and bright. I remember the redwood around the inside of the skylight in my childhood bedroom, and I wish it had the kind of beauty seen here. Thank you for sharing!
