Hey everyone it's Dylan from The Black Forest Wood Company this week we're going to be
continuing work on Joe Manganiello's dungeons and dragons table so we're going to take it right up
before we get the finish on it because that's going to happen next week
and we're also going to show you guys the final result of that river rock table so we got it
picked up from Jeco, the spray finish is done and we finished the trestle base that's going
on there so we're going to show you guys those two things this week we really appreciate you
guys tuning in I hope you guys enjoy the video and let us know what you think in the comments below
yeah probably about the same this is going to get a polyurethane though too oh cool yeah oh
yeah, this is getting sprayed yeah it would have been you who's doing it
because he also like just came out with this full custom set of figurines yeah like characters based
on all the people in his groups yeah they're going to have to invite us all there to play
tomorrow with the guitar killing everybody, yeah I have joe's
so after we let the piece cure for seven days we pop it out of the mold and bring it down
onto our avid CNC for flattening so this piece just barely fits on there and you can see it's
just wide enough by a couple inches for us to actually be able to flatten this
but we for the first couple passes you can go faster and you can take a thicker cut but it's
important when you're flattening whether you're using a CNC or a router to make sure on your last
pass you go very slow so you don't get chip out then we're using our Festool track saw to actually
cut this piece to size another tip with the track saw is, go in multiple steps you know even though
you can cut three inches thick with this saw if you try to do this all in once the saw is just
going to bind up and probably end up blowing a breaker so we do it usually in three or four steps
it would be nice if festool made a more powerful one but that's kind of what you have to do
when you're using the track saw other than that though really really nice piece of equipment
and now ben is using a Festool router um believe it or not we're not actually
sponsored by Festool we'd like to be though! Festool if you're watching um he's just putting
the pockets in the bottom of this table for the x-base that's going to go on it
because we actually screw metal plates into the top of the x base and then with those metal plates
we use threaded inserts to attach the table to the base
so the table for Joe is done we've taken that to Jeco they need a few more days to get ready for
it. I think they said Tuesday of next week is when it's going to get sprayed so if you guys follow
us on Instagram we will be doing a live stream when that happens but now we want to show you
guys how that table from last week turned out the one with all the river rocks and the trestle base
it was very heavy but we got it all put together and i think it turned out really good
but again let us know what you guys think in the comments now over to the rock table
we've got the base components they're all finished being stained and finished with the protectant too
so we do one coat of stain followed by two coats of oil just to give it a nice sheen and now we
can actually assemble our joinery so you can see we've got a nice snug fit on the feet where they
actually fit onto the trestle and there's those two holes in the end of the trestle that will
actually accept our wenge pegs that are going to slide through you'll see here in a second and then
we have more spruce pegs that go through the top of those and hold everything together okay going
through and then there's four spruce pegs in total per leg that gets added to secure those in place
and here we're just assembling the blocks to the top of the leg on the trestle base so they're done
in a matching black and ash and we actually just screw those right on there's no joinery there just
good long four-inch wood screws and we're putting a little bit of beeswax on the end of them just
so they slide in there nicely so now we will flip the base over and do the same thing on the bottom
so the bottom of this space is nearly identical but there is one difference
and that is that we have a little recess to accept a levelling foot this is just because
the client's house may or may not have perfectly straight floors so these little levellers in
there just make it easy for the client to line everything up and get their table sitting flat
okay so we have got our river rock burl and resin table all finished up here ready to
ship out to the client so this is a piece of cottonwood burl from our friends at geoveneer
we actually would have picked this one out in one of our first videos where we went to jail veneer
and then it was what was it like 250 275 something crazy amount of resin we
we posted in a video a while back and then we also added all of these river rocks in
um so all of this makes for a very very heavy table i figured the top here is probably
about 800 pounds and then we've done one of our signature trestle bases on the bottom
the only thing a little different here with this one is we've done it in black and ash whereas
every trestle base we've done before was in walnut and then some little details here we've got
wenge wenge and spruce pegs here so those tie in really nice the wenge kind of matches the color
of the live edge and the spruce almost matches the color of the the cottonwood
so that's actually what holds everything together here there's no glue on this part of the base
but we will get this thing packed up in the crate now and get it shipped off to our client
it's getting chased by a wasp thank you guys for watching this week's video uh we're very excited
for next week to go to Jeco and finally see the finish going on that piece if you guys follow
Jeco on Instagram you might have seen on their stories that they've already sprayed the bottom
so there is a little sneak peek, if you guys want to go check that out
but like I mentioned earlier the spraying is going to happen on tuesday
so we'll probably do an announcement on instagram of what time that's going to happen
but if you follow us there on Instagram you guys can actually watch that pour happening live
and we are very excited and probably I guess in like two or three weeks we'll be going
down to LA to deliver that one so we're excited to meet Joe but thank you guys for tuning in to
