No Epoxy Required.
Today I proove the point that you don't need Epoxy resin to make dining tables.

You might get more money if you let people bid on the price.
I would have thought that would be a higher price, closer to $25000
Yes to the narration.
I would have thought that the table Would have cost around 25000. You're work is truly a work of art.
I went to a famous art school and I am sure they would consider this art. You are also a great craftsman, which I believe is essential to being an artist. As to your narration, I dislike totally silence, it is like keeping secrets. i prefer some explanation of your thought process from time to time , but i hate constant babbling. Your narration in this video was well done. Great table, but leaving the open slots in the middle triggered my OCD. I kept waiting for you to add glass to fill the gaps, but that is just my personal brain dysfunction. At least you acknowledged it as a possible issue for a buyer. In spite of my brain issues, it is still an exceptional piece , and thanks for not using epoxy!
As an American, I feel deeply respected for the dimensional translations. I laughed out loud at the washing machine and the Big Mac.
Agreed. The washing machine gave me a chuckle but the big mac almost killed me.
It’s been a long time since I actually laughed out loud at something but those freedom unit equivalents were spot on and hilarious
Very interesting design and well done. Narrative is nice and so is just watching. I'd prefer if you don't wish to narrate the entire video continuously, comment every so often is more enjoyable.
Same here. I am also an American and walking across the top to show feet and the washing machine reference was funny but the Big Mac made me laugh out loud 😂. Cool table, keep be curious and trying new things.
I did the same thing. This guy made my day with the freedom units.
I vote for " keep narrating the videos"! Your brutal honesty is refreshing and funny as hell! Your craftsmanship is impeccable. Love the table!
9:38
I vastly prefer narration. It's helpful. I learn stuff. He's funny. Calming voice. No e learning about the machinery too.
I'm a noob in woodworking and like the narration as well, helps to keep everything in perspective when watching!! Beautiful build!! 👍🏻👍🏻
No I prefer read the subtitles only no voices at all, become like ASMR video hearing the sound of machine and other tools stuff
Honestly i like the combination of them both, but what you could do is release the video as a narrated and non narrated version. But my preference is discussing what you are planning what you are doing and then giving a break, while i love cam i do get exhausted at the endless narration, but i also get that a lot of people love it.
Honestly, I think I’m in love! With your artistry, woodworking, commentary, no commentary, No epoxy! I just love it. I am a woodshop teacher in CO, USA, and I just loved watching you work and problem solve. I am definitely showing my students this video. Nothing in life this beautiful comes without a Ton of hard work! Most of the tedious work just isn’t shown in KZhead videos, because we all have attention spans of goldfish! Your Joinery is beautiful. Your work is beautiful. Thank you for sharing with us! On a side note, I have never seen that larger router- it looks like a helical head of a planer or jointer turned to be perpendicular to the table. So cool!
Clicked for the woodworking, stayed for the narration, subscribed for the commentary on art. Well done sir
same
Wholeheartedly agree. I prefer the narration. Outstanding work. I also suffer from aphantasia. It's why I don't consider myself as an artist or have any artistic ability at all.
Couldn’t have said it better! You gained a new subscriber.
He: "I do not want to be associated with these people". Me: Like and Subscribe
Well, I came to the comments to leave him a compliment but now I have to compliment you as well. Thank you for saying what I was going to say more elegantly.
Measurement in "Freedom Units" was the absolute best! Great build, thanks for sharing it.
Anything to avoid the Metric System. 😂😂
Standard units are objectively better than metric for building things though.
@@TehButterflyEffectwhat are standard units?
@@TehButterflyEffect I don't know what is more laughable, the fact you think freedom units are "standard" or the fact you think practical work is easier in freedom units lmao. No bozo, the entire world is using metric for a reason, it is neither easier nor practical to use freedom units unless you get all your products, labour and plans from within the US.
@@TehButterflyEffect I disagree. Fractions are a curse!
The best translations of metric to U.S. I have ever heard!
lol
i laughed so hard my wife thought i was nuts
for real
Yes by far the best 😁
He earned his Freedom Fries for that.
You are a next level craftsman. Keep narrating! You are also hysterical!
I have watched a lot of your builds and I have to say this is one of the very builds I’ve seen on KZhead period. I like the resin tables as well but this sir is a masterpiece
Dude, that was amazing. Of course keep narrating. You're humble, hilarious, and absolutely brilliant at your craft. You mentioned being an artisan early in the video because you think in terms of solving problems. I had my doubts early on, but every step made me think - wow, that's a really creative and accurate way to do that. Awesome work, thank you for making the video!
Definitely narration. I like when the craftsmen explain what he's doing, why, etc. It's a nice added bonus to all the building footage.
Definitely agree. The "why" is missed when not heard. "Here, I applied this finish because... or cut like this because..." People often put captions after, and that's okay also but they don't catch the sarcasm or spur of the moment wit.
I think i like both naration and no nariation. I like hearing your inner thoughts but its also to nice to have a moment to watch you do your thing, and let the tools speak for you.
I loved having this video narrated. It made it even more enjoyable to know what you were trying to accomplish.
For a first time viewer from New Zealand, I found your video an excellent blend of commentary and production coupled with a great sense of humour. Loved it! And to me, you are certainly an artist with wood.
Sole! Same. Red and Black. Outautahi represent.
Being that I live in the United States, I greatly appreciate you giving measurements I was able to identify with. I enjoyed the commentary.
freedom units 😅
Go work in a data center. Cat 6 is all in feet and inches and then all the fiber is in meters lol.
I liked the mix of narration and no narration 🤍 your work is mind blowing and makes me feel proud to be a human being. Bravo.
Very much appreciate the size conversion to American units. Beautiful table, excellent craftmanship.
Probably my favourite woodworking KZheadr. Great videos. Succinct and no horrible music. Much respect!
33 absolute well invested minutes. Enjoyed everything. And besides an incredable amount of perfection it was very funny too😊
You got it brother!! Perfect measurements!!!! What a wonderful table you created. And hello from Texas!
Olivier... so much to agree with and I greatly enjoy listening to what you have to say and explaining why and what you are doing. Please keep it up. Some of us are miles away from having such equipped workshops and thousands away from the equipment to do such wonderful things as you do. 🥰
I can sympathize so much with the way you describe an idea not leaving your head until you make it, and it becoming crowded! It's tough when you have more ideas than energy to make them real.
I'm disabled and I've had a bit of a 'bad health' period, for maybe 18 months... my head is about to explode with the ideas if I don't somehow use some of them soon! Funny, that was the line that resonated with me from the whole video too. :)
Not to mention money, tools, and space. Lol
I totally agree about the epoxy trend, it was cool and new for the first couple months/years then everyone kept doing but it was still cool, but now it feels like every “woodworking” table is just sanding a live edge piece of wood and pouring epoxy in it, then leveling and polishing it. I really appreciate the commitment to making a table that requires real skill and creativity.
Part of it is that a lot of people are buying the epoxy tables because they look really nice so they are what sell the best for the price they have to ask for the hard work and cost to make the tables so it is just the smartest way to make the money they need to continue
Both please. I did not expect I would enjoy the sound by itself so much.
So beautiful... enjoyed watching a craftsman at work.
I shake my head and smile in amazement.. No one can have such skills. You are a master beyond words and not only that you have such a knowledge of setting up the machinery.
This is one of the most inspiring videos I have seen on the YT. You are not only a skilled engineer but a very resourceful craftsman without forgetting a fabulous orator. Please keep your videos coming.
found another genuine gem on youtube. great video,nice woodworking, ideas, viewpoint and mentality that i can relate too. well done!
I love the narration. It's nice when you can still hear the machines in the back like you did unlike some other channels where there is only voice with no breaks. Amazing table!
This table is a masterpiece. You are a master at what you do. Thank you for your videos.
So far, it is one of the finest, most creative and engineering project I've ever watched. Congratulation man. What I enjoyed most about the video is that you know when to sh*t up and let us enjoy the creation of that master piece. Thank you man!!!
Keep narrating! Made me laugh a lot but also cleared up all questions! Nice work!
I love the narrative. Not only do I think that you are good at it, I learn so much more. And you’re fantastic!
OMG, you did manage to keep me here and watch your incredible building skills. What a gorgeous table. Thank you.
I agree Absolutely Awesome
This is the 1st time I've seen your videos, and I have to say that you should definitely narrate your new videos! You do a great job and you have a sense of humor, which is a great touch, it keeps people watching!
This is the first time I'm seeing your videos I think narrating them really does help the better explain what you're doing while you're doing it and how you feel about the piece that you were working on it's really nice to get your input
I stayed for the video, I subscribed for the freedom unit measurements. Great work, this build was awesome to watch
The Narration was engaging and humorous. The table design is absolutely incredible. Le savoir-faire est magnifique!
This is just a symphony! Marvellous!
Narration done correctly. I liked the mix
Narration 100%, c'est le fun d'entendre votre intention des movements. Merci, bien fait!
Aesthetically this table is not my style. That being said, I am in awe of your vision and artistry… amazing 😮
I really enjoyed your narrative component, at moments it was sharply funny and it made the frenetic sequences easier to watch.
One word "MASTERPIECE"!!👌 And please keep narrating...
In a world of epoxy BS, this is real craft. Totally gorgeous and a great making of video. New subscriber.
You are a true craftsman! I have been wood working for over 40 years and cant beguine to come close to this. Well done!
Absolutely beautiful! You are an artisan and a craftsman. The finish is wonderful. Excellent!
Incredibly awesome table! True craftsmanship!
My late father was also an avid carpenter; we only brought him clamps. He was also a jig man 😁. Thank you for this video; it brought back a lot of memories.
I used to love making jigs and tools. I once spent most of a week in the shop making jigs for a hall table project, and came out with nothing but sawdust and some cool jigs. Wife smiled and said, "worst carpenter, ever". I did get to the table a month later. It has stood the test for almost 15 years now, despite looking somewhat whimsical. African Rosewood and oil. Wife approves. That was the last project I did before travel and life took over. I just dusted off the shop last weekend and made some preliminary sawdust. We'll see where it goes.
Absolutely gorgeous, a great display of craftsmanship.
I actually enjoyed hearing your narration. I watch Blacktail often and really like the way you both describe your process and thoughts. Great video!
The table is stunning, the craftmanship outstanding and the commentary engaging. Your love for what you do is evident in every step.
That table is beautifully designed and fabricated. Glad it was not just another epoxy river table - it seems to celebrate the wood even more this way! Kudos!!! I much prefer narrated videos but will be watching either way.
First video I came across of yours. Great humour. Love the line "not by essential oils and windchimes" 🤣🤣😂😂 Great video, and love that you give credit to other creators!
Essential oils and wind chimes!!! That was hilarious, love it!!! Beautiful piece, awesome skills!!!
You are a true and master craftsman. I reserve this title for you because you are humble and open-minded enough to know that you can still learn new things! Your videos are always fantastic, and your commentary audio is a welcome addition. Thanks for your many hours of work, and keep it going!
When they call you an artist, tell them Alan told you to tell them you are a Master, if they ask who is Alan, tell them if you tell them you will have to make them disappear. Nice piece, just got recommended your chanel, great place for inspiration, thank you!
Not only are you an artisn, but a great narrator and comic too! Thanks!
I don't dislike epoxy as a tool, but when I seek out woodworking videos, it's to enjoy the woodworking, not just epoxy creations that have some wood in them. It's a tool for bonding, not for cheating and getting what you want out of wood. It's why when I watched your stuff, it was hard to find other woodworking videos I enjoyed because they were so heavy on the stuff. Also without proper PPE. (I also love watching dicemaking videos sometimes and those usually use epoxy resin and go into how to safely use the stuff, which these people weren't doing). I also appreciate you talking about using proper safety, cuz again, that's not something I see often these videos.
Keep the narration - but when its not required, let the work speak for itself. Beautiful job.
Narration definitely, Beautiful table.
Belgium viewer here, FANTASTIC work, enjoyed every minute. Don't change anything in way you do your youtube presentation, honest, modest, clear, funny.
I rarely comment on videos but yours has captivated me and inspired me into expressing my thoughts - and for what they are worth, also my opinions. First off, THANK-YOU for an amazing experience. Seeing the creation of such harmonious beauty is a joy in and of itself. IMO, a craftsman is a person with the technical know-how and the corresponding skills to implement that knowledge to a very high standard. An artisan possesses that same level of knowledge and skill and then expands upon them with the addition of imagination. Using those definitions, you, sir, are truly an artisan who creates beauty and marries it with functionality in a wonderfully harmonious manner.
Dude, this may be my favorite youtube video. Love the piece, love artistry, love your sense of humor 🤘🏼 and much would be lost without the narration. Very admirable work, sir!
Very beautiful professional job on this table.
Stunning! I liked the mix of explanations at times and simple quiet video at other times.
How refreshing to see someone making a cool looking furniture without just substituting wood with coloured plastic.
As an American, I appreciate the use of Big Mac’s as a unit of measurement. 💪😂😂😂
The jointer/planer combo makes the most sense ever! Loved the table! Fantastic work! You and I share the same sentiment about epoxy.. love the more natural looks from using just the wood.
The new Norm Abrams of the 21sr century 😊. Wonderful video. ❤
Nice way to think outside the box. I like the waves it makes.
You are extremely creative. I have never seen anything like this on youtube before and I really like what you have done. Congratulations on making such a beautiful table. Thank you for showing us how you made such a beautiful piece of furniture. C'est Bon!!
...no hago comentarios a los videos y no tengo paciancia para ver todo el video,contrario a esto,vi todo el video y te digo:es arte lo que has hecho ,mis felicitaciones y saludos desde España !!
Fascinating, funny, amazing. I loved the narrative combined with just the sounds of the machines. Bravo!
Just wow! This is so elegant! I think the shape and the criss-cross of the centre is vaguely reminiscent of corset strings...so there is a mystique and femininity to it that hits the subconscious with a certain je ne sais quoi!
lol, that’s art ! I couldn’t skip forward . Amazing wood art !
I like both silent and your narrative on videos. Please do both on future videos. As always this was an awesome project, well done.
Just beautiful , this is craftsmanship !!
The Mix of narration and no narration was great!
Absolute craftsman & a comedian as well, if I had a spare 12,000 G's knocking around I'd buy that in a heart beat.
I like the narrated format, knowing what you are doing and why you chose to do it that way is as important as seeing you doing it.
Amazing craftsmanship sir! It gave me so much pleasure watching your work narrated with such a great sense of humor. Thank you !
You aren’t an artist. You’re a fecking woodworking and creative genius! Subscribed! What a lovely table. I hope it sold for a lot of money, and I’m sure it did.
No glue needed, just pure creativity and skills! 👏
The table is amazing, it looks like it’s been laced up!
Spiral laced tabletop. Really cool idea!
Absolutely amazing and extremely well crafted
Keep the narration. You are very good at talking us through a project. You seem a natural. Thanks!
This is ridiculously pretty.
Not gonna lie I clicked the video fast forwarded to the end right befor the sizes ( cause I just wanted to see it finished) almost cried laughing when you said bigmac thick, then subscribed and watched it all. I vote keep the narration. Great table.
I'm sorry but your table is a piece of art, beautiful art, amazing craftmanship.
Stunning table
The washing machine and the Big Mac measurements were really funny!
Narration is good! Beautiful build!
The table is breathtaking beautiful
Наверно, я повторюсь, но Вы очень талантливый молодой человек! Я уважаю Вас и Ваш труд!
A true masterpiece! I was glued till the end.
Best measurements in "America's system" ever! I cannot stop LOL.😂
“Essential oils and wind chimes”……..hilarious. Exquisite and unique table. Well done.
Vous avez fait un travail remarquable ! Bravo !!!
