    Definitely, genuine design. Immaculate workmanship.

    Nice job on the video! Very interesting build! New sub. 👍🏼

    Your metal alloy is 31% lead, I hope you took ample precautions when sanding it. Also would recommend some sort of sealant for the metal since its likely to be touched often.

    Pretty cool. The finished look of the piece is great. Working with a liquid T-1000 terminator seems a little dangerous tho. Excellent job.

    Just a suggestion to really secure the aluminum leg panel and lag bolt in put some liquid resin then put the part in. This was pretty cool just found the channel

    Very nice sir. Interesting technique. That metal is pretty cool. Curious if you even attempted to polish it? Enjoyed the video. Looking forward to more.

    Very interesting. Personally (it’s all taste) I love working with different materials and that alloy is a real find. I wonder if you could have polished it to a gloss finish or whether it is so soft that that is not possible? I’ve been woodworking for over 45 years and, during that time, have seen so many different finishes comes and go. I don’t think there is a single finish for every project, indoors and outdoors but. Like you it seems, I like2 pack hard wax oil for most of my interior work. Late last year, the Wood Whisperer published a YT video reviewing the 2 pack HWO available in the US. His overall winner was Natura Onecoat. It was not something I had heard of and so I contacted the makers who kindly sent me a sample. It’s not available over here on the UK - I understand the launch is this Spring 2024 - but I was very happy to try it. It is the best. I agree with the Wood Whisperer. Natura claim a minimum of 55 square metres per litre and, whilst I haven’t measured that scientifically, I think I’m getting more using the same application methods as you.

    Did I miss a step, where you poured metal for the top and the bottom? The video makes it look like you routed out the top for the leg plates.

    Hey there!:) I was watching this with my husband and we both thought this was SO AWESOME!!🔥 ❤ I'm curious to know if you can enamel this kind of metal.. either enamel (crushed glass micro-particles) and torch fire or even heat gun.. and maybe even add into it mica powder to create different metal effects such as a copperized color or whatever color we want .. maybe use a airbrush or sandblaster to evenly coat it with enamel and then fire it multiple times just like you'd do in jewelry making.. if that would work? Since this is the only low temp metal that seems to be safe to pour.. and that way it wouldn't be constrained to that specified color.. do you think that would be possible? I want to test but I'd love your thoughts on this? I don't know the first thing about this ... YET. Just a theory/ idea. What do you think?
