Jonathan McCully Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 Looks great Kev. Love the use of a template with guide bushing for creating the dovetails. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 One of the best subtle uses of live edge in a piece of furniture. Beautifully combines a natural curve with a functional piece of modern design. We all know Kev signed and dated this one ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gee-dub Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 Great looking table. I agree; that subtle gap for the floating top is like a delayed treat. One may not notice it till their second or third look at the table. Again, I find myself being drawn to spraying when I see how easily you spray right there in the shop. Obviously there is a level of experience and familiarity but, not having a spray booth or a finishing room has always kept me from getting serious about spraying. Sorry . . . I'm wandering. The table is a beaut and the client loves it so . . . win-win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes a little time to get the shop set up but, I think it's worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 Cover any cast iron with a blanket or 1/4" ply scraps, I cover the bench/ outfeed table/ assembly table with 1/4" MDF then put out painters pyramids and each piece gets carefully wiped down for dust with a micro fiber cloth before being set down gently for spraying. Space parts with enough room for the spray gun to get between parts. Remember to sand and spray some scraps as control/ sample/ test subjects. Test for dryness on those scraps ! This avoids fingerprints on actual surfaces that will need to be sanded and re sprayed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan G Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 That's a great looking table! What epoxy are you using to come out of clamps in a few hours? How long are you waiting after the application of the ARS to spray the ploy? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jfitz Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 Wow, that is gorgeous. The slight touch of sapwood on the front apron is beautifully done. And gee-dub stole your thunder because I didn't notice the floating top from the picture at first. I need to run outside and take of some yardwork but I'm looking forward to settling in and enjoying the video later today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was probably 1/2 a day between the ARS and poly. Because I needed to finish this and one more project before heading out for work, I did push the envelope a bit on my timing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the video when you said a few hours I thought you had some sort of super fast cure stuff! i assume you haven’t had issues going over the ARS so quickly with WB poly? what did you use GF High performance?

I'm curious as to how you got to this as 'standard' (ARS followed by WB)...is that just to bring out the color of the darker woods? Why not stick with the ARS for the whole thing? Also...how thick is the top? it looks pretty beefy....and it 'floats' very nicely. Beautifully done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not stick with the ARS for the whole thing? Also...how thick is the top? it looks pretty beefy....and it 'floats' very nicely. Beautifully done. I use the ARS to bring out the color, yes. From there, I get more protection out of the WB without changing that color that I like. Also, because there's no VOCs or off gassing, I can put it in the house or ship it to a client right away. The WB also dries quicker so I can get through the finishing process faster as well. That top is about 1 5/8" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality, it is a super easy table to build. Even the sliding DTs aren't hard, it's just a matter of steps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
