The Best Thing I've Ever Made

Video Description

Blacktail epoxy table workshop: https://www.blacktailstudio.com/the-epoxy-workshop This extending dining table was one of the toughest woodworking projects I've ever taken on. I partnered with Nikon to make this video on the Nikon Z 6II which, as you can see, seriously upped my video quality. In the end, I made an extendable walnut dining table that goes from 108" (275cm) to 140" (355cm) with two continuous grain (mostly) leaf extensions to make it a totally functional expanding table. When not in use there is no visible hardware, screws, or brackets that get in the way of daily use. The wood I used is locally salvaged black walnut. I used two sequential slabs, also referred to as a bookmatch. Bookmatched tables form a symmetrical, mirror image of each other and are my favorite style of table. You could take everything applied to this table and use it with your own DIY live edge table project. Whether it was a bookmatched live edge table or a single slab natural edge table, this continuous grain leaf extension would work. #Sponsored 0:00 Intro 2:35 Festool Domino Glue-up 4:47 Filling Cracks With Epoxy 7:33 Awkward Table Flip (attempt) 8:39 Patchwork inlay 10:47 Large Slab Flattening 12:20 C-Channel Inlay 14:25 Bow Tie/Dutchman Joint Inlay 17:58 Table Leaf Extension 20:06 Huge Mistake... 24:00 Filling Small Holes in Epoxy 24:40 Finishing With Rubio Monocoat 26:05 Steel Plate Table Base 28:50 Table Installation Day 30:04 Comment of The Week Related links: Wood slabs: https://gobywalnut.com Wicked Woods NW: https://instagram.com/wickedwoodsnwllc Bow Tie Jig: https://www.blacktailstudio.com/blog/how-to-cut-and-inlay-bow-tie-joints-dutchman-joint-inlay Wood Inlay Tutorial: https://www.blacktailstudio.com/blog/wood-inlay-for-beginners-bow-tie-joint Items used in this video: New Blacktail n3 Nano: https://blacktailstudio.myshopify.com/pages/n3-launch Nikon Z 6II: https://amzn.to/3vNdfHV 24-70 2.8 lens: https://amzn.to/3ccgRM7 C-Channels: https://conceptthirteen.ca?ref=btjrt2lvnw8g Threaded Inserts: C-channels: https://conceptthirteen.ca?ref=btjrt2lvnw8g Festool Domino: https://amzn.to/3uFdovO Pipe Clamps: https://amzn.to/3vNq598 Parallel Clamps: https://amzn.to/3wTQWRe Deep Throat Clamps: https://amzn.to/3vKHPSM Wood Glue: https://amzn.to/2TCzrXf Gluebot: https://amzn.to/3ceEhjJ Sandpaper storage: https://amzn.to/3g0IFFv Glue roller: https://amzn.to/3z0gUnI Epoxy for cracks: https://amzn.to/3c9SRJd Vacuum Clamps: https://amzn.to/3wVmR3s Festool Router: https://amzn.to/3fKVsM5 Chisels: https://bluesprucetoolworks.com/collections/chisels Rubio monocoat: https://amzn.to/2Rv9eci Aluminum Extrusion: https://amzn.to/3cd0uPm Furniture bolts: https://amzn.to/34KnPnn Trim router: https://amzn.to/3cdOHAe Buffer: https://amzn.to/34E8uop Mafell Track Saw: https://www.timberwolftools.com/mafell-k85ec-circular-saw Festool Track Saw: https://www.festoolusa.com/products/sawing/track-saws/575390---ts-75-eq-f-plus-fs-usa www.blacktailstudio.com Instagram: @blacktailstudio https://www.instagram.com/blacktailstudio/ facebook: https://www.facebook.com/blacktailstudio/
