In this video I used epoxy to first fix table wobble. Then to make it look like the same table was floating or levitating. I had this idea when I was building a dining table a few weeks back. I needed to fix table wobble which is a pretty common woodworking problem. And I had the idea to fix it with epoxy, wondering if it would be more inconspicuous. That actually worked really well, so from there I took it to the extreme.

    The epoxy feet are a great add on for outdoor furniture to prevent water wicking up into the feet and eventually rotting out. Plus, the epoxy is less likely to scratch a deck or patio surface than other hardware solutions. Thanks for the great idea!

    In my projects I can usually achieve the "one floating leg" naturally, without having to chop a bit of the leg off 🙂

    "Amish and offended? Email me" put me on the ground. Good sense of humor Chris 😂
  • @mirameejung
    me 😂😂😂🤣 @ 20:45… “I’ve been to stores before… I could do it again… 💭💭💭 they probably have some other good stuff at stores that I could use…” I’m going to say this to myself the next time I have to make, yet another trip to “the stores” for a project. Anyhow- really loved this experimental build. Thanks for shari

    I thought the ‘No Blinking’ effect was what made the video. And the table was pretty slick.
  • @KevinOMalleyisonlysmallreally
    This video isn't 100% about wood so I'm going to complain and question your integrity Really nice idea man. Also the guitar with is lovely in the background.
  • @kjkuchma
    SUGGESTION: Maybe just raise the ground under the short leg. . ? Then. Anytime you move the table, you only have to raise a very small part of the planet up to the not-touching leg. Simple.
  • @chrisbmurphy
    Maybe the funniest ad read ever. Love it. Also, thanks for showing us the process.
  • @TracksWithDax
    Dude I love this Chris. The first half is just you building a really cool piece that's totally outside of what you'd typically design. THEN it gets to the fun! Love it

    As someone else noted, all epoxy yellows. Still useful, wood whisperer did it on outdoor furniture to prevent moisture wicking. I built two Paul Sellers dining tables, scaled down to German Shepard height, and did 1/4" epoxy "feet" on them years ago and they work great. To make, flipped table over, circled blue tape around tapered ends, added just the epoxy needed and then used rasp and sanding to level, shape, and clean up.

    Rounded shelves in rounded dados look really good! If you "cut" the dado a bit deeper than its radius you should overcome the stability problem you had in the dry fit.
  • @cathleenc6943
    I absolutely love the slightly silly floating legs and I would totally do this. In fact, I may go find a table to refinish, cut the legs off near the bottom, and make them float. Thanks!
  • @VeretenoVids
    I think this would be amazing as a stand for trailing plants. I find the epoxy feet interesting, but I'd want the epoxy to be as crystal clear as possible to really enhance the effect. Thank you for taking us along on this adventure!
  • @drewjohnson265
    I really enjoyed the “live” thought by thought of your approach. What if… you put a delete wraps of tape around the feet and then cast them in some kind of mold (plaster of Paris?) …the cut the feet down, then use your mold to cast the epoxy.
  • @sanderj8784
    The new, less-scripted style of the video is way better! It feels more genuine and more relatable!

    Tbh after watching for almost a year these guys are like a walking 3d printers coz of how smooth they work and they make wood work look more like paper origami.
