Epoxy Coffee Table with Walnut Slabs and LEDs

This is an epoxy coffee table with live edge walnut slabs, blue epoxy resin, a steel base, and multicolor LEDs! It was a lot of fun and I love the result, especially how the LEDs shine through the epoxy and silhouette the walnut slabs if the lights are dim.

Hey bud great video and great table. A lil tip though. When you aren't "good" at welding. Learn going "uphill" by making sure u are pushing your puddle. This will give you a much better weld in the future

Beautiful job! A diffuser sleeve over the led strips would help with the “bulb” visibility through the epoxy. Very inspiring. Thank you!

The problem with people doing pours now days is they think its all about having the pretty resin in there and the wood is just a side dish. You need to make the wood look natural like it grew into the resin. All these square cuts just shows that you threw the wood in and made the piece all about the resin. Appreciate the effort put into the vid mate cheers.

My wife used a plane for the first time last week we needed to customize a door and she did amazing she starting to get into wood working even though she is allergic to wood dust and I suggested planeing instead of sanding and she loved it I got her some respirators and stuff so the dust wouldn't harm her if she wanted to sand and stuff she also is wanting me to teach her to weld so will be doing that also

As I was watching the video and seen all the time and effort you put into that table I said no way it's not worth it..
At the end I was wrong. Its absolutely amazing and will last forever.

You are my hero! Sanding resin without protection is so brave.

Love the bark showing, it really looks smart. Commentary through is great and informative, thank you for posting this

I really like how, at the END of the video you say..."please like and subscribe if you think I have earned it". It's a pet peeve of mine when someone asks you, right off the bat, to like and you have even seen the video. I know no one does but it just bothers me. So....good job!

Man, after seeing your video on calculating epoxy, I was hoping that there would be one of the pour and end result! You did not disappoint my friend!! Very well done 👍🏼

[ContractorJohn]

Very cool... Great Job.... I love how you leave real life in your videos, because everything isn't always unicorns and rainbows

This is really nice, and inspiring. Learned a lot from your detailed explanations. I would recommend for the LEDs to use a diffuser in the future. They fit inside and makes it a smooth light and less concentrated per diode, and can mount easier!

Eye Candy has GREAT different colors for mixing with epoxy. The best coloring in my opinion!!!

[PeterJames]

you're an awesome carpenter. what you did with that stain was just amazing. the wood just became something else when you put that on. The color contrast is really nice also. Good job.

[mgrantom]

Very nice work. I agree with your thoughts on the fasteners on the top. When someone spends a couple of thousand dollars they expect the little touches. Totally agree. Beautiful table.

The table came out so nice! I can see how handy the laser engraver will be to add a custom maker's mark

I didn't read thru all the comments but nothing sticks to clear packing tape. I use it all the time with fiberglass work. Good job on the table.

I used to build the plugs and molds used in the construction of fiberglass boats.
A few suggestions for you are to apply the wax directly to the melamine. It should release quite well. Also, there is a product called wax fillet strips that comes in varied radius sizes and is applied using a heated wax fillet tool.
The finished product is nearly perfect and it doesn't require any drying time.
It can be applied prior to waxing and then the paste wax is applied over it.
Nice job on the table. I admire your attention to detail.
