Building a MASTERPIECE For MY Wife
This table is worth $6000 or more, but I'm giving it to my family. Is a glass river table better than epoxy? I'll show you how to build this live edge river dining table with glass inlay for my wife. I could sell this table easily for $6000, but I'm keeping this one. I made this dining table out of two cottonwood live edge slabs with a blue tinted glass inlay and a welded steel mid century modern style table base. I built this live edge glass river dining table for my wife to have in our formal dining room. This live edge glass river dining table was built over the course of 8 months.

I am a beginner to woodwork, the main test I have with this bundle kzhead.infoUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt is that I think that its hard to settle on a choice of the plan and outline to use as there are a large portion of them there. Nonetheless, I like the simple stride to step directions laid out there.
This was perfect as a vanity desk for me. kzhead.infoUgkxMAlHv7-BBWMrPRm5-uEoD6rtdT7SG2Qr Especially the glossy finish. Easy to cleanI was looking for something that wasn't the traditional white and with more of a modern feel. This fit the bill beautifully. I put it together with no problems, by myself in under an hour.Make sure you double check where you place the drawer tracks before screwing down. I had one track that needed to be aligned with different holes than the rest.
I’ve never seen your videos or work before, but after watching, it’s no wonder you are sponsored by Home Depot. You, sir are a master of both metal and wood. Truly beautiful craftsmanship. Can’t wait to check out more of your vids. Subscribed.
Thank you 🙏
Stunningly beautiful....natural yet contemporary. A modern, timeless classic to come.
The fist video of yours I’ve watched was the one where you made your wife the cheese board. Thought I was super sweet and turned out beautiful. Say this video next and love these kinds io in depth videos for this type of table. Then I freaked out when you mentioned OKC, because that’s where I live too. I love finding and supporting KZheadrs from Oklahoma. Keep up the good work!!
Awesome table. Your wife showed be happy for years to come.
Beautiful table built with great love and hardwork
it is incredible how much you love your wife,hope all husbands like you
This is a very good TV show and we love it !
chatoyance! brilliant idea and its awesome having meals on your own creation. I do it as well. Great video.
Love the table! Love the wenge bow ties. Everytime I go pick up lumber I always tend to grab a couple of those imports that just are great accent pieces like that!
Your choice of color for the glass is perfect. It looks like flowing water. All good wishes!
I’m just dreading when foods and drink falls into that crack.
Another great build, and oh jeez how I love your fur babies 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍
The chatoyance in that table is magnificent!
I’ve never seen a River Table made with glass for the river accent. Always Epoxy of some sort. It looks really good.
The glass ones are beautiful. Look up Greg Klassen, he is the originator of the 'River Table' and his are all made with glass.
CHATOYANCE. I was expecting a resin poured river table, but, this is much more beautiful and unique. Thank you.
WOW!!! What a process. You are a master at what you do. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Nice! I've built both epoxy and glass river tables. Both had their challenges but turned out great and I learned a LOT. I need to try Odie's finish. I've used Rubio Moncoat and Osmo's oil as well. Possibilities are endless aren't they?
I would like to see this with a plate bridging the gap underneath and then the gap filled with varnished river stones under the glass. I'm not sure about seeng the metal support through the glass. But what an enjoyable video with the process of the glass cutting and bow tie fitting. Quite a stunning table.
I’d also be paranoid nervous about breaking that flimsy piece of glass.
@@mikemcdonald4813 The glass would be tempered I guess. Another thought would be again a plate underneath then a ribbon of LED lights and then a layer of the broken glass you'd get from a car windscreen. It could look all sparkly and undulating if the light had some movement with it. Wish I had a workshop, I'm so jealous of this man.
What a great job you have done! I love the complete imagination about it. Very, very nice. And the bow ties, I learnt something here!
Awesome table, totally worth all the hours! and her reaction made it worth every second of it for you i am sure
Awesome table, love the kind of wood you picked, and also the special unique designs or patterns, makes it a personal touch, keep doing what you do and God Bless You and Your Family
There is no god.
Wow, what a project! Love the base especially. Wouldn’t have ever thought of using cottonwood. Well done.
Really like the light blue glass insert. That you have made the 'feet' yourself - fantastic
Saw the bark on the slabs and immediately went wait is someone finally using cottonwood?! Awesome I use that all the time as it is real common where I am in Montana. If you are looking at more of it be careful for thickness of the bark. The thicker it is the more "wind checked" the wood is. This causes a bunch of micro cracking weakening the wood and normally for how fast they grow that is why they come down within about 30ish years
Great info, thanks!
Epic games sponcerd this
That's good info. Thanks
Great looking table. Happy wife, happy life!!
Wow ! Love this! The work, craftsmanship, artistry, the knowledge n skill that goes into this table is just, WOW!
Wow man that is a beautiful piece, thank you for sharing. Awesome job and something to be proud of for many many years. Keep on building
Okay....this table is absolutely gorgeous!!! It is fit for a very fine home. I am also very pleasantly amazed with the many skills that this artisan has, including his excellent use of the English language - in describing the details of his work. Wonderful job!!
Jonny, perfect. The video story really added to the charm of your masterpiece.
🙏
Thanks for the great video. Beautiful table, and I appreciate the description of using Obie’s oil and the router templates. Chatoyance! I feel like Stan Lee when he uses his catchphrase, “Excelsior!”
This is so creative and well executed. Absolutely LOVE it!! Well worth the 8 month wait for your wife :)
Awesome table. I really like how the glass looks, gives it a totally different look compared to resin.
Chatoyce Beautiful job!
Table is gorgeous, really love the look and color of the wood. Great job, you should be proud.
The most beautiful thing is to see you present your wife with the work of your hands! 💙
What a cool mixture of materials with the resin, wood, metal and glass. Another stunner from your shop, Jonny. Thank you!
Thanks y’all!!!
Great, professional and well done job my friend, it’s not just a dining table it’s a peace of art..
Turned out so good !!! Your right that cotton wood looks epic. Thanks for making my decision easy. Keep crushing it
Omg, I haven't seen or heard mention of the Husky for years! Woah that brings back nostalgic memories of when I used to live right next to the Husky like 6 years ago
That cotton wood looks really good! Next on my wish list: welding-skills and tools!
Love the table. Absolutely amazing. Quick question, why didn't you want to fill in the long crack with epoxy and bow ties?? just curious.
1st timer here and ❤️❤️❤️ that table is gorgeous 👍👍👍
Wow. Beautiful cottonwood table.
That glass tho...i hope it doesn't break in the future. The base looks good and the finish of the wood is nice
Beautiful table, love it. Love your dachshunds even more!!
Really cool table. Great job. The glass is 1000 times better than Epoxi
Gorgeous!!!!! Just stunning!!!
Your wife gets her own dining table? Thats a brillant idea. Now she dosent disturb you and the kids while she is in the cellar.
I built my first computer desk for my daughter with 2 x 6’s but ordered the legs online. Pretty much the first thing I’ve built from scratch with wood it looks great and better still my daughter had tears when I took it down to her room and installed it. That was worth it’s weight in gold, now I see her using it everyday to draw on and do her school work for college. Nothing makes me happier than to see her using it everyday 👍👍👍 awesome table build and I agree 2020 was a stinker and 2021 wasn’t much better here’s a toast to 2022 being a good recovery for everyone!!!!!
An absolutely beautiful piece of art. Bon appetite with a healthy helping of happy memories.
Just thinking about how durable that glass is. Hope the thickness is enough to suppott an accidental or intentional placement of a pot full of food on it or an utensil drop 😅
@@deanvanluven6813 and I'm sure I'm alowed to wonder
Plus were he put the bow ties why leave it with the gap in it ? And at the ends of the table nothing underneath the glass it looks unfinished..hope they soften up the edges cause it will leave it sharp edge and could cut someone
@BoldservantofJesustheChrist if you weren't sure, Jesus never existed. He's made up.
@BoldservantofJesustheChrist then*
@@anonymouscommenter7689 he is made up. Just like Greek mythology.
Fantastic work, Jonny! Beautiful table! 😃 And you know what they say... Happier wife, happier husband. 😉 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
It's a beautiful table! Great project, nice shop! I would have made the table with separate supports for each slab that are linked laterally mid-height underneath, so that no part of the bottom support would be visible under the slabs and the glass. Also, does Glazing Concept bend glass 90 degrees? I think the table would look more finished if the two ends of the glass were bent 90 degrees down to the thickness of the slabs. Hence, the corner edges would have to be rounded to conform with the small radius of the bent glass, instead of chamfering.
Yes I agree with you to would look better but also it would look better if he used epoxy
Chatoyance. Beautiful table and beautifully done. You should be really proud of yourself, considering what a ghastly year it has been. I love the bow ties and honestly, if people have an issue with it then they are watching the wrong channel. I hope you have many, many happy family meals around that gorgeous table. x
Chatoyance. Very nicely done.
It’s beautiful. Great job. I have a few slabs like that but I’m afraid to mess with them. I’ve never worked with live edge before. This video makes me want to try now. The bow ties are awesome too.
I have a similar table. Picked glass because it's much more scratch resistant.
Great. Love that u leave the cracks open
Great work with a fair amount of dealing with the unknowns, that takes a lot of confidence in ones ability. Cheers!
Chatoyance! I love the glass instead of an epoxy for the river. That looks really awesome
Terrific! Sometimes I feel like the epoxy is a little “too much” for certain spaces. This is a great medium with a similar, maybe even more sophisticated look. Great job, great video.
Absolutely
I've looked at Cottonwood before, but I've always steered away because it's so soft. I went with epoxy over the custom glass, ~$140 for epoxy, my quote here in Ohio was $550 for a similar blue glass cut on a CNC.
Looks cool.... And I not really a fan of light wood finishes. I really like the bowties, give it a really nice effect. Great job 👍👍
Love the table and a lot less messy than using a full epoxy centre. Well done 👍
Man you just told your story, the same way I want to tell mine. You definitely inspired me. Thank You for sharing your story. I hope I can sit in front of you one of these days and tell you Thank You! GodBless man!
This is super dope. If it had a little darker finish it would fit perfectly in my dining room.
I think you have created Art, young Man.
Really handsome table and base…love the glass detail opposed to a river flow epoxy finish….Well done…be safe…
I have a suggestion for all you guys working with these large slabs of wood. How about a small crane added to the ceiling in your garage or workshop???
That cottonwood is stunning
Ur so amazing ur so talented in doing that..congrats...im from the Philippines..
Fantastic piece of craftsmanship.
Beautiful table! I'm glad your wife is happy.😎👍👌
Outstanding !! Simply beautiful !!
Been watching and enjoying your mastership and creativity in your endevous. THANK YOU!!!!
You need to invest in a jack plane and a joiner plane. They are bigger than the block plane and the blade is angled for working along the grain. A block plane is designed for easy working on end grain. The joiner plane is a long thing that makes it much easier to make wood very straight
Wow! It came out so beautiful! Those bow ties! So good!
Ok the bow ties is way to much of different color..but it still leaves a crack that's not filled plus at the ends of the table the glass just sits in a groove looks like it's little below the surface plus the ends the glass may be to sharp might cut someone if not tapered some
Absolutely beautiful... Love it.
Completely awesome. I aspire to make a memorable “legacy table” at our new house, but I do not have your skillz. I will look for projects that allow me to use the space and tools I have to make a memorable table. Thank you for inspiration!
Superb Job,,😊👍👌
A work of art. Just beautiful
Gorgeous table 😍
I just watched that from start to finish! I’m a fan of using the cottonwood slabs, because most people just consider that a “trash tree.” You were able to prove that the build quality has more to do with the treatment of the material, than simply using the most expensive wood. Then multiple materials were combined (soft wood, hard wood, glass, and metal) in such a cohesive design. Amazing work!
This table is SO DOPE! Excellent work, Jonny!
Thanks 🙏
What a fantastic piece of work, unbelievable what you can make with reclaimed wood. Keep up the amazing work. Chris from the UK 🇬🇧
Chatoyance! That’s some skill you’ve got there fella! Love it.
Love your doxies!! I have two myself! Love, love, love this channel!
Chatoyance! I learned something new today that resin is not the only way to do river table design. Great job!
Your video-making skills are equal to your craftsman skills. Excellent!
Chatoyance. That is a beautiful table. I really like the wenge wood bow ties , I recently just got a new pool cue made out of from wenge.
Absolutely beautiful build Jonny! I'm a big fan of the glass river tables vs. the epoxy (personal preference) and this definitely delivered, especially with the wider part at the one end...that made it feel even more organic! And of course...Chatoyance...definitely had to pause to get the spelling right on that one haha
Thanks bud!

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL
Just one words for this masterpiece beautiful 👍👍
I was looking for a good intresting wood working channel And finally found you
Wonderful work
Loved the build, and chatoyance is my new favourite word :)
Well done! more than a guy who pushes buttons. I love the bow ties.
Learned a new term today: Chatoyance. ;-) The legs in steel are nice riff on the Japanese designer you were emulating. A beautiful job, but your wife's approval is the only one that truly matters.
Very nice table. Love your idea. Next video i want you try to make a table with epoxy. Respect!
Wonderful enjoyed watching till the end.👍👍👍
Thank You for sharing your project.
