hey everyone it's Dylan we're back again for another week here in the shop
this week we are going to be working on a coffee table with the first-ever
resin legs we've done before um so we've made wood legs that go on coffee tables
before obviously but this is kind of like a resin cast leg we have an idea of how we're
going to do it but we're not 100 sure yet so this video is going to be the first part of
that we're going to pick the wood pour the wood de-mold everything and then next week
you're going to see us cut everything do the joinery and hopefully get it fit onto that
coffee table oh and a bonus you're going to get to see 105-liter conference table pour solid red
it's the Full Send Red that thing's going down to north Carolina so we're going to include that
so guys just saw Josiah put the first coat of finish down on this black walnut coffee table here
um now we've got to make the legs so we're actually doing something a little bit different
than we've done before uh for this table we're doing uh our same kind of style of square wooden
legs that we've done before we'll put a picture up on the screen right now so you can see
except we're going to be doing them with like resin rivers and resin casts kind of in them
so we're actually going to build a mold pour these as one long piece and then we're gonna cut
45 degree miters so that by the time we're done these legs should kind of wrap around and have
this continuous look hopefully it works I hope you guys can kind of understand what i mean but
now we're gonna go pick our pieces and start milling up those parts for the
legs
okay so now I'm going to mix up a transparent blue
for these coffee table legs these are the ones that you've seen spencer kind of working on
and they're going on the other coffee table that you saw joe finishing so now I'm going to
match the color that's in the coffee table and then we'll pour it in the mold here
okay so I'm going to teach you guys how to make the full sand red that we call it real
quick here so you need some black dye some red liquid dye and some red metallic we sell
all this on our website too so I'll put a link down in the description so you want a pretty
good portion of the red metallic in there I put about that much of the red metallic in
and then we do 10 drops of bread and two drops of black and that's it
all right everyone so we are getting ready to do a big pour we got sauger filming the live
and yeah and I'm filming for youtube and Instagram and then we got john with a bucket of resin ben
with a bucket of resin and we're gonna cast this big conference table let's go for it
now here are the legs for that other coffee table that we've been talking about so everything is
almost cured up like if you were to just come in and kind of knock on it and kind of push your
fingernail in you'd probably assume they're cured but we actually have what's called a durometer so
this is a tool that is used to measure the hardness of different plastics and other types of
materials so we use it to tell us when our epoxy is fully cured fully cured epoxy should be now
depends on the brand but at least with our brand you should be around a .85 shore d hardness so
we'll we'll use this right now to see where we're at yeah we're at about a point six right now so we
still have a little ways to go uh definitely not fully cured yet for comparison actually if we come
over here i think this had one more day so only an extra 24 hours of cure time but it's at .75
so that's just with an extra 24 hours and then another 24 hours from now it'll be pretty close
to that uh 0.85 short d so this is a very helpful tool to have if you're working with epoxy
so
okay
okay well I hope you guys enjoyed kind of seeing that process the early stages of the legs
uh next week like I said we'll be finishing those up uh and then one thing we noticed when we were
looking at our analytics it's like uh it's almost only half of you guys are actually subscribed to
us that watch our videos so go right now subscribe to our videos we do these every week and we're
planning on trying to do two a week kind of like maybe some more start to finish stuff so if you
enjoy seeing this kind of stuff leave a like subscribe really means a lot see you next week
