@FernandoGarcia-kq3fw Рік тому
Sawyer! Cam, I'm new to woodworking. Can you explain why the higher moisture makes this piece "unusable as a table"? I get that the table top won't be perfectly flat but is it really that extreme? Thanks in advance.
@BlacktailStudio Рік тому
That’s a great question and the effects can vary a lot. This piece with small pockets of moisture will probably get pockets of cell collapse where there will be small depressions, which could even crack over time. Larger areas of wet wood would likely lead to cupping/twisting as well as cracks. All of that said, this piece would likely be flat enough for many people and function fine as a table. Any reputable woodworker wouldn’t be satisfied with a table like this though. I could potentially wait this piece out, or kiln dry it, resurface it, and have a perfect table. That might not work though, and would be a big time commitment from me. So instead I’m cutting my losses and using it as a wall piece instead. Hope this helps!
@somethingelse4424 Рік тому
@@BlacktailStudio I'm not a woodworker, so I'm just spit balling here. What if you take it back to the CNC and mill off 1\8th inch to open the grain up, and then put it in a kiln on a very low setting for a long period? Maybe you can cook off that moisture, depending on how deep epoxy penetrates into end grain.
@HappilyHomicidalHooligan Рік тому
In addition to Cam's response, any project using Epoxy Resin should be as dry as possible since Resin HATES moisture/water with a truly Unholy Passion... If your wood is too damp, the Resin will not Cure properly and will likely crack as it cures...
@HappilyHomicidalHooligan Рік тому
@@somethingelse4424 You would need to do that before adding the Resin as the Resin will penetrate much deeper than that and with how thoroughly Cam sealed this wood, kiln drying won't do much since there's nowhere for the moisture to escape from without blowing out a portion of the resin... Epoxy Resin is a plastic once it hardens and finishes curing...

Especially with newer homes that have 20 feet walls trying to fill that space is really hard with out it looking messy or busy you need large artwork. My decorating style is organic, natural, clean, old antiques used in new ways. My favorite pieces are those that have character, and come with a great story to tell then is given a new life, that celebrates all its beautiful faults, which adds character. Celebrates its uniqueness, one of a kind, and beautifully made.

Aw Cam, I feel so sorry for you. I bet your clients appreciate your honesty as much as your viewers do. Even your supplier obviously thinks a lot of you too. Best of luck to you on all future projects. 👍

still a gorgeous piece. I'm still learning about the moisture / table connection and how it effects the outcome
@DantheDM Рік тому
Sawyer (and subbed to him); great video! I have been learning a lot watching your videos and applying the methods on a much smaller scale on my dice tower and dice tray videos. Learning new things everyday. BTW, keep showing the failures and overcoming them...I (and I am sure others) can relate. Thanks again for the great content!

Love your videos. Very cerebral approach to the projects and the content. Also, I love that you make a point of going over mistakes and explaining them. Learning to avoid errors is at least as important as learning things that work. Someone has to be the first to try new things, and it’s a noble undertaking to try to help others avoid any pitfalls discovered in the process.

Sawyer Design is a true master, it’s awesome seeing you two work together!

Absolutely stunning piece! Too bad about the moisture thing, though.. That 'cookie" was such a gorgeous piece of wood; I did feel bad when you cut the edges off, but the tabletop finish was amazing! At least you got over 6000 beans for your trouble!

A table with a unique shape will add value to our dining room. I am so imprese with your work
@valiantwarrior4517 6 місяців тому
Sawyer. You’ve definitely made it into my UKposts trust. Love this stuff. Personally, as a decorative piece, I would have no issue at all with the ‘imperfections’ the trapped moisture caused. I think it gives it character…like scars on a war hero.

Although I am a wood turner and only a hobbyist, I subscribed to your channel. I enjoy learning and applying principles and skills to my hobby from more than just fellow turners. Watching your process was a "thought lab" for me and I'm always looking for that. I've run into hidden moisture problems as well and they can create a multitude of unpleasant surprises. The end product was still very beautiful.

A fellow turner! You can do some really cool stuff with epoxy on a lathe. Many years back I made a bottle stopper as a Christmas gift for a neighbor. Starter with a block of dark green inlace acrylic, turned it down to roughly the shape I wanted, then used a parting tool to cut 3 evenly spaced bands/channels around the stopper and filled them with epoxy mixed with some metallic gold powdered dye. Sanded off the excess and wet sanded with micro mesh to finish. Came out great. This channel is giving me lots of ideas.

Sawyer seems like a really good guy and a great friend. The edge of this table is amazing. I am constantly impressed with the layers upon layers, steps upon steps in this artistic process. Since I am not knowledgeable about woodworking, your patience, gentle clear explanation, master knowledge, excellent video and editing skills are greatly appreciate by this fan. Thanks for your honesty. 💐

I love to watch a perfectionist. You don't have the best equipment so it must be difficult at times, but what a wonderful job.
@bryancaughey7507 Рік тому
Do over, thanks for the video - incredible work, nice to see the supplier helped with the replacement.
@katvills Рік тому
Such a wonderful piece of art. Amazing what project can be done with any piece of wood. I admire your work and thank you for sharing your projects online. Well done mate! 😀
@jeremyskidmore389 Рік тому
So sad to see it didn't work but I absolutely love this piece! I'm currently working on a red oak double cookie epoxy table both pieces from the same slab so we will see how this information helps me in my build! AWESOME content on this one. Definitely gonna join you for the ride man. Excellent work and beautiful piece. Again sorry it didn't work out as planned.

Details are not boring. In fact, they are what draws me to your videos.
@user-bq2ud3kn6v 7 місяців тому
You did a phantastic job!!! I am very impressed!!!
@mornystanit1 Рік тому
I think that table is one of the most beautiful jobs you have ever done. The wood looked liked a tiger stripe effect and i am sure it will look good as center piece in anyones home. Keep up the good work.
@sigguy1361 Рік тому
Don't sweat it, Cam, I know there's a few issues with it, but it came out absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for the honesty in the flaws, but don't be too hard on yourself. Love your videos, keep them coming! Cheers
@tgs989 Рік тому
Good video thanks for the important information and learning process for the moisture content. I’m very impressed with how well you worked with this wood
@barbaranelson944 Рік тому
That is gorgeous piece of work, anyone would be proud to have this in their home.
@pthanos Рік тому
What is interesting about your channel is that you are able to tell the story of the infinite detail work that goes into even the most mundane of processes in woodworking. A cynic would say that you barely even do woodworking. But even working on a beautiful top like this is so laborious and you manage to show that in your videos. Great build, don't be hard on yourself.
@Hollywood_-uy3is Рік тому
the "friendship" banter really tied this video together for me. Even in the face of failure you guys' take it on the chin. ALSO shows how close yall became as friends.
@diannewest8469 4 місяці тому
Sawyer!! I am not a woodworker, but I love watching your videos. I appreciate all the work and details.
@mzzbrowniez Рік тому
That is beautiful! It would look good with a ball and claw center table base to add to the rugged feel!
