How to make an epoxy resin table in your shop using half the epoxy. We all know how expensive epoxy can be, so I came up with a way to get the same look of a table twice as thick while using half the resin. I have never seen this done with an epoxy table before, but people have been doing it forever with granite and marble countertops. Not only does it save a lot of money, but it saves a lot of weight. In this video I show you how to make the entire table, not just this bull-nose trick too.

    been binging all of your videos and you saying “if you’ve already seen me explain how to make one of these tables and just want to see the edge trick you can skip ahead” made me laugh, as if i’m not gonna eagerly sit here and watch you explain it and show it to me 1200 times, i don’t think you understand how much i will re-watch the entire process ad infinitum 😭
  • I love that you invest in the legs. Makes a huge difference. I have seen cheap legs that lower the quality. Yours raises the bar. 5 stars!
  • @tedpechie6642
    The bow tie adds just a touch of imperfection to the perfect table, great job
  • @blandon9748
    I'm 78 years old and have been doing woodworking for many years, yet I learn something from your videos every time I watch them. You are an amazing craftsman. Thank you for your videos.
  • @jamieirwin6783
    I really like the technique of trimming the edges to add thickness.
  • @meme5546
    I think it's perfect, it's one of best tables designs I have seen in a long time.
  • @IronMan-bn4wl
    I appreciate the fact that you are self-deprecating with a sense of humor in the face of sometimes rude or overly critical comments. Really enjoy your channel.
  • Click click save, great thickness cheater trick. I just wanted to say thank you for your openness and honesty in all of your videos. Sharing your tricks tips and mistakes along your way. Keep doing Cam.
  • @tomburns7544
    Amazing work, Cam. I love how you never try to hide when something goes wrong in your videos and how you find ways to deal with mistakes. The table came out beautiful and I think those legs are beautiful and really set off the modern feel to the project.

    I find your videos by far the best on YT. I’m an experienced woodworker (over 40 years) and think I can say that you do everything in that difficult balance between perfection and yet still needing to make a profit. Perfection takes so much time that you end up working for nothing; “good enough” is never good enough. I don’t see any other maker go into such detail about each step; the method and the reason plus taking the time to list out everything used. For instance, I suspect many YT people would not tell us where to buy those legs but keep it to themselves. That really annoys me - I don’t like videos which just say “look how great I am”; yours say “here is what I do; here is how I do it and here is what I use” I’m not a great fan personally of heavily refined pieces. However, I do accept that they are a great way to use pieces of timber which otherwise would be scrap. People like them at the moment but fashion is a nebulous beast. I don’t know what will happen when the fashion changes. Please maintain the very high standard of your videos. The quality of camera work enhances the quality of the work you show.
  • This superb table, an Eames recliner chair and a glass of 18 year-old Macallan Malt Whisky. Life does not get any better. Your craftmanship is well worth every cent.
  • @PJ-yc2kb
    Love the table. you were so right about your biggest regret. THat light spot in the middle from the planar really stands out.
  • Just stumbled on your page a month ago as I've begun to set up my shop and get into woodworking. I'm amazed how you turn what you call "blemishes" into almost unnoticeable yet unique notes in your work in a way that still demonstrates complete professionalism. Basically, you make it all look really good!
  • @jixuscrixus
    100 yrs from now I can just imagine some walnut wood and epoxy specialist doing an evaluation of the detail and workmanship on one of your tables. Great tutorials and a pleasure to watch someone enjoy their work and produce such unique furniture.

  • @tonys8997
    Man, I appreciate the honesty and transparency in your videos… especially the mistakes. I’m tormenting myself on where and how to get started with selling. Your videos are truly an inspiration on keeping us (me) motivated and continually learning techniques AND that it is okay to make a mistake.
  • @conjob8168
    Stunning table and beautiful workmanship, very impressive
  • @williamknox8438
    Love the table. Also love the technique for getting more out of slabs. Doing things this way you could get twice as many tables out of a single slab.
  • @roymoore3156
    As usual, a project finished to visual perfection! I enjoy what you do and how you make the wood scream with it’s true beauty. Myrtlewood for life!
  • @mischieffactory
    I like how you always do your videos like it's their first video. It helps solidify knowledge hearing it every time and really helpful for people getting the most out of every video regardless of which one they click on.
