Hey everyone it's Dylan we are back again for another week here in the shop we've got a pretty
busy week ahead of us here we've got three resin pours we plan on doing so there's one
mappa burl resin pour, one Bastogne walnut resin pour and then there's a Claro walnut resin pour
which is actually our first ever round dining table that we've made with resin so we're very
excited about that that's probably gonna be some of the main focus will show you how we
built the mold for that and a few few more details on creating that piece and another thing I wanted
to tell you guys about this is actually our 52nd video which means that we've been doing
YouTube for one year now we couldn't have done it without you guys this has been such an awesome
journey there's been so much support from all of you and it means a lot to us to have all of you
guys watching and we do have something special for all of our subscribers and people watching
our videos but that will be at the end of the video so make sure you guys watch till the end
everyone so it is Monday now we're getting ready to do another resin pour this one is going to be
with mapa burl so finally something that's not walnut map a burl is actually just poplar burrow
but these slabs come from France so they call them the mapa burl I don't know why but that's what it
is so they want us to do a bow River blue and the boat river is a river here in Calgary this is our
Calgary company so we're we're going to be using this blue dye and then the blue green pigment from
Black Diamond and we should we should be able to get pretty close to what they're looking for
three two one
so we are now starting work on our next table this is actually going to be the first ever round
dining table we've done it's kind of surprising that after all the tables we've made this is the
first one but we've quoted a few but we've never had anyone actually go for one like well actually
we did do the round granite table but that was just kind of for fun because we wanted to make
it but this is it here this is what we're gonna be making Spencer just laying this out it's Clairol
walnut burl and then we're gonna probably be doing a solid black resin in here I'm pretty
sure it's solid black I just got to confirm with the client next up what the Spencer Ben are gonna
do is they're gonna trim these walnut pieces to size and then they're actually going to build the
bowl so we're not gonna do a square mold for this breast you're gonna make an octagon shape mold
just so we're not gonna be wasting like resin in these corners here we don't want to have to fill
this because it's just going to waste money so we'll show you sort of the process and Spencer
Ben are going to go through to fill the bowl will cut the slabs and then we'll do the floor
you just watch Ben and Spencer put together the mould for the burl pieces so now what Ben
is doing here is he's actually debarking all of the excess that's on the burls the
reason that we actually removed the bark is so that we can get a proper bond you know a
lot of people they want to leave the bark on because it looks good and while we do
agree that it does look good if you leave the bark on what happens is your epoxy is
bonding to the bark and the only thing holding the whole table together is the bond between
the bark and the piece of wood so we always we chip it off usually the big chunks with
the chisel and then we go at it with a wire wheel on a drill and get rid of all the debris
so we are upstairs in the poram again getting ready to do those next two ports that we talked
about right here in front of me I've got to Bastogne walnut slots in the mold so this is
going to be for a 4 foot by 8 foot final size table we usually build the molds like 2 inches
bigger one inch in each direction so a total of two inches and that is just so if there's
any if any silicone comes off the edge if we get any imperfections on the end or this bit
of this little gap here we can cut that off so this isn't it final size yet the other
poor we're going to do we're quite excited about this one it is our first round resin table we're
making we've made one with granite but this is the Claro walnut pearl that we're going to do
for a round table and that is actually the rendering there we're about to place these
ones in the mold so that's what we're going to be shooting for with this and it's probably
going to take quite a bit of resin it's going to be a nice bright blue but the the burl is
going to look really good we're gonna leave it transparent so you can still see this live edge
so the pores are done that was that was a lot of epoxy to pour all in one day I think it was
something like 240 litres ish maybe a little bit less but we got it all done here so these
pieces will sit in the mold until probably Monday or Tuesday then we'll take them out
so next week you can see us continuing work on those but beside me here this is the surprise
for our one-year video on YouTube you guys actually might recognize these pieces from
last week's video they were made by Sagar and I and last week's build your own wall art class
and we've actually decided to give them away so we'll put a few more coats on them before they
ship out but they're just nice little wall art pieces will probably machine a keyhole
so you can put them on your wall and all we're asking you guys to do to enter to win this is
leave a comment on this video and even better if you let us know what your favorite video of
the whole year was we just want to hear from you guys and hear what you liked so I hope you liked
this week's video thanks for spending a year with us on YouTube and we'll see you next week
