Love It or Hate It? You Can't Ignore It

I'm not going to bury the lead I messed up bad on this one worst woodworking mistake I've ever made by far I'm not exaggerating and you'll see it but every problem has a solution and this time it was one of the craziest things that you can do to a very expensive pair of slabs I think some people are going to love it and some people are going to hate it but I can promise you this you will definitely have an opinion so I'm going to cover it all in this video the good the Bad and the Ugly nothing hidden so let's get into it okay I would not normally start a video off like this but I think I have to this time for it to make sense so long story short at almost the end of this project I make a giant mistake and kind of ruin the tabletop don't worry I pull it together that's not good and because of that I had to come up with a solution that was very outside of the box that said there's so many other aspects to this build that I don't want to focus on that the entire time but I just wanted to address it early so that you can watch the table come together realizing that it's going to happen I'm not ignoring it but now you can experience it chronologically the way that I did so I hope you enjoy here's a bold claim this is the prettiest wood that I've ever used now I know they don't look like much right now but this is the worst that they're ever going to look all that said I guess we're all going to have to wait to the end to see how these puppies turn out so what they are is a pair of claro Walnut slabs that I picked up from my buddies at GL veneer and I got slabs 10619 and 10621 because somebody had already bought 10620 before I could get to it but that's okay these should still be a good match and the reason that I have two of them is because I'm making a really big circular dining table for a couple of clients named Horst and Angie who live in Massachusetts now what I'm doing here is positioning the SL to try to get the nicest looking Gap possible between the two and my first attempt at this was okay but I kept playing around with things and eventually settled on something like this which I think is going to look a lot better but keep in mind that these are just rough slightly oversized guidelines at this point and then normally the way that I start cutting these out is by using a circular saw to remove the bulk of the material but here I couldn't do that and here's why so you could see in that last shot that this slab is going to be mostly used up but this one I'm hardly cutting into and looking at the markings it gave me a cool idea to make this into either a desk or a vanity where you would sit inside of this Arc and it would kind of wrap around you but if I use a circular saw to make the cut ironically I can't cut a circle which means that the best option was a jigsaw which turns out was going to take forever and basically I decided that I needed a much larger more powerful jigsaw and the biggest most powerful jigsaw is a band saw so that's option b now obviously there's no way that I'm going to be balancing a big chunk of wood on this little table but I had a really good idea look at this Craig mobile workbench it's almost the right height to use with the band saw but almost wasn't going to cut it here we need almost exactly the right [Music] height and honestly we're not launching Rockets here so this is definitely close enough so I got the slab up on the table grabbed a spoonful of yogurt and as soon as I fired up the band saw this immediately felt like a really terrible idea so it was on to option C and see as in I'm going to use my CNC to cut things out and if for no other reason I'm happy that I went this way because it just makes such a beautiful sound okay so you know that saying work smarter not harder well sometimes it's actually better to just work harder yeah the jigsaw was really slow but if I just sat there for 30 minutes and made the cut I would have gotten it done and all the messing around with the band saw and cnc's was I guess maybe more fun but I'm pretty sure that I ended up wasting more time than I saved now assuming that this isn't the first video of mine that you've seen something you might have noticed is that it seems like I build a disproportionately high number of round taes I was thinking about that while I was building this round table and I had two epiphanies so the first one to quote late 90s alternative rock band The New Radicals is you get what you give and I actually think there's a good side and a bad side to this the good side is that the more you're willing to put yourself out there the more you're rewarded at least that's what I've experienced and the fact that I'm building this table is actually a great example of that the way that Hani found me and commissioned this piece was because they saw the video for this table in that one I went pretty deep into how I came up with the design and I shared a bunch of different ideas that I had along the way and one of them really resonated with Hani which led them to get in contact with me and here we are I put more of myself out there and I got more in return so that's the good side and we're going to come back to the bad side in a minute but the second Epiphany that I have was a little bit more practical and coincides with what you see me doing here on screen and that is if I'm going to be building round tables from time to time moving forward I should really try to build a form that I can use repeatedly the way that I do it now I can reuse the base but every time I have to essentially break off everything to get my slab out once it's cured and the reason I have to do that is because I always every time somehow forget to spray mold release but what I'm hoping is that this Time by using copious amounts of mold release it'll come flying out like a champagne cork at a P Diddy party and by the way Big Ups to my wife Dolores for helping me get these pieces into the form and here is the official Dolores putting slabs in the form pose love you all right epoxy time so right now the slab is about 2 and 13 30 seconds of an inch thick and I'm using totalboat thick set fathom which says that you can pour it up to 2 in in a single pore so if my calculations are correct that would mean that I'm going to need to do a second pore but that's fine honestly I almost always do a shallower first pore just to make sure that I don't have any leaks and then a day later if everything's still looking good I can confidently go ham with my second pore I guess all that is to say right now I'm just looking for a good base layer and while we let that base layer cure let's go to work on the base of the table so I mentioned that the reason that Hani reached out was because they saw a piece I shared in the other video that they really liked and I'm not going to bury you the lead it was this one that said oversharing the design process is kind of my thing in these videos and actually the version that I just showed there isn't what we ended up going with here so here's how it went down my first version of this design looked like this which reminded me a lot of a Honda Logo not intentional but makes sense I actually do genuinely love Honda and hopefully someday I can own an NSX but I would settle for a CRX anyway back to the tables I decided that I wanted to do bigger swooper arcs here so the next design looked like this then I just kept pushing that idea until I ended up here so this was the version that we had when I first started talking with hii but somewhere in there we started kicking around the idea of doing a four-legged version instead and we were kind of torn I think both versions have their benefits and drawbacks one of the benefits of a three-legged table is that they're actually sturdier than a four-legged table which can sound counterintuitive but you know how sometimes you go to a restaurant and the table wobbles because one leg is too short well it's literally impossible for a three-legged table to do that no matter what it's always going to have three points of contact with the ground and it'll always be sturdier in that sense and in terms of looks from this angle I actually prefer the three-legged version but when you view three-legged tables from certain angles sometimes the base can kind of look weird like it isn't centered on the top even though it is so factoring everything in we decided to go with four legs now something that I think is worth mentioning here is the size of these Boards of white oak because I don't think it really comes across on video so look at this piece that's a pretty typical board that you would use to build Furniture now here's something else that we're all very familiar with a 2x4 and here is the wood that I'm using for this piece and this is important to mention because the extra chunky nature of these boards might make for a few times moving forward where you'll think to yourself why would he cut that that way and I'll tell you right now it's because these boards are so thick so step one is going to be breaking our pieces down into oversized chunks and it's going to be pretty obvious to see what I'm doing here so let's use this time to game plan how we're going to make the leg assemblies so first things first you'll notice that the leg design changed from this to this which shouldn't really change the way that the table looks once it's all together and the top is on it but it will make for a sturdier table in the end and each leg assembly is going to be made out of three pieces which I can get from my material like you see here now unfortunately we're not going to be making a set of plans for this piece because if I'm being honest I just don't have the time right now and because we already have a project course for a piece that isn't the same but if you do like this one I think that you're also going to really like the Surly table so I'm going to put a link to that one along with our other projects in the description and not to toot my own horn but I think we make the best woodworking plans out there from design to instruction and support as you build we put a lot into them so if you're ever looking to build something just do me a favor and give them a look no pressure all right so our chunks are all chunked and now we're going to bring all the pieces down to their final thickness and then we can start cutting the joint faces and I want to walk you through this next part in detail because it can look a little confusing but it's actually really simple so before I cut anything I'm going to make sure that I have one perfectly flat reference face on every chunk and I like to do that by taking a pass or two on my Joiner and then we're going to start with the vertical part of the leg so this is actually the e easiest cut to make because it's designed where these faces are parallel so that you can pretty much just set your fence to the proper distance on your table saw and rip the joint face so I'm going to start here with the larger lower joint face then after cutting those I can readjust for the upper face but there's a trick here and that is to Mark out the curve as a guideline because when you cut this joint face you have to make a stopped cut so this will help me know where to stop before I start cutting into the part of the leg that I want to keep and then to clear out the material I can just use my band saw next we can cut these two joint faces and the good news is they're identical angles which means I only need to make one sled setup to cut them all out the bad news is these pieces are so thick that now that they're on top of a a sled my saw blade can't reach high enough to cut all the way through so what we'll do is just make a cut as high as possible on all eight pieces and then there's a pretty easy solution I can just take the pieces over to the band saw and cut the rest of the material making sure that I stay closer to the waist side of the wood which will just leave me with this little ledge that I can cut flush on the router table okay the downside of you get what you give so this will sound very obvious but it all kind of boils down to the fact that people are going to pigeon hole you based on what you show them now the thing is you can let that be a prison of your own making or you can use it to your advantage as an example over the past couple years these three videos have racked up the most views on my channel and because of that probably 90% of the people who reach out to me want either a round slab table or something like that desk now the good news is I love building that kind of stuff so it's been a really great calling card to have out there a few years ago on the other hand this video where I built a giant Nintendo switch was the one that was getting the most views and as you can probably imagine this led to a lot of people wanting me to build them a giant Nintendo switch which was something that was fun to do once but not something that I'd want to try to make a career out of just not what I'm particularly passionate about so the takeaway for me was well I can't necessarily control what is going to catch on with people I can control what I share and put out there and it would have been very tempting to let the success of the switch video take me down a path where I'd be aiming for weird Sensational viral videos every time but for me it just felt a lot more sustainable to make videos about things that I have a more long-term passion for so I guess ultimately just do the thing that you want to be known for because in the end that is what you'll be known for what tool in the workshop scares you the most I'm going to guess that the most common answer is probably the table saw maybe the Joiner but when I first started woodworking for my money it was the router now over time I've gotten more comfortable with I mean honestly every tool but especially the router because I probably use routers more than just about any other tool in my workshop but it's always nice to get a reminder of how dangerous they can be hopefully without actually getting injured and this project has definitely given me a good reminder here's the first so you can imagine that being your skin instead of a tabletop top and it's pretty sobering definitely reminded me to grip harder and think more as I'm finishing my cuts and I wish I could tell you that that was the only reminder I needed during this project but it wasn't and this next one's worse let's pause for a second so we can all learn so a router bit's always spinning the same way and 99% of the time you want to be feeding your material so that you're pushing against the direction that the bit is spinning if you just do that what you're about to see here won't happen now hopefully a bruised thigh and this note to myself will keep me from making this mistake again and the reason that this happened in the first place is going to sound really dumb but that's pretty much the case with every mistake but what happened was I was trying to get a shot for the video and I was standing on the opposite side of the table than I'm used to and I guess that was enough to get me turned around let's take a break from the router and get back to the slab which should be hard by now so this is kind of the Moment of Truth did the mold release do anything well to give it the best shot I walked around tapping to hopefully jostle things loose and then it was flipping time so we got it flipped on edge and then realized just how big and heavy this top was and thought you know if it does come flying out out it's probably better to have it on the ground so it's easier to keep a grip on so we lowered her down and nothing didn't even budge so here's my Takeaway on mold release if you're already using tape on your form which was the red stuff that you saw in my melamine base you really don't need mold release I mean it doesn't hurt but I don't think it really helps either and it's really if you're not using tape if you're just putting the slab right onto the melamine that's when you definitely want to use mold release so unfortunately for me that means that my dream situation of building a form once and then getting to reuse it for a bunch of projects is just that a dream in my last video I announced the return of this guy the brass chunky mechanical pencil and that I started a new separate company called Quirk where I'll be designing and making more products that share the same philosophy which is basically things that you don't really need but you might want like this pencil doesn't do anything better than this pencil and it costs a whole hell of a lot more but it's cool and it brings me a little bit of joy every time I use it well I always hate announcing things too early but I think I'm deep enough into the process on the next tool that I can say something so the next product is going to be a hammer now I'm still really early in the prototyping tweaking design phase and something that I learned from the pencil is that prototyping physical products is expensive so this time I'm going to do as much as I can digitally and I'm using Fiverr to help make that possible so if you've never heard of Fiverr you can think of them like a Marketplace for freelance Talent where you can find professionals that'll help you with pretty much any digital service you can imagine editing interior design marketing all kinds of stuff but what I'm looking for is product visualization basically making renderings of a product to help get a better idea of what it'll look like before you've actually produced anything so I'm pretty good when it comes to designing and drawing things and here's where I'm at with the hammer but when it comes to rendering I don't know what I'm doing and if I'm being honest I don't really have time to add another hobby to my plate so I searched Fiverr for product rendering and I ended up going with these three Freelancers now full disclosure this is a sponsorship so if I were doing this on my own I'd probably just go with one freelancer but I figured why not see more options and let you guys see what kind of consistency you can expect so of the cool things is you can feel pretty comfortable with just one person because they have pretty thorough user reviews and ratings you can see their portfolios and if that's not enough now you can even book a one-on-one consultation with a freelancer to make sure that you're comfortable before you proceed so without any further Ado here are the results I got and I have my favorites but honestly I would have been completely satisfied with any single one of the three that I went with they all had great communication quick turnaround and most importantly good results and my opinion is that this step is very much worth the investment I mean obviously final decisions can't be made until you hold an object in your hand to really critique things but the difference between this and this is pretty significant and if it eliminates just one round of prototyping it would pay for itself many times over so whatever it is you might be looking for head to fiverr.com % off with Code 4 eyes 24 and thank you again Fiverr for sponsoring this video all right now to make sure that this stays easy to follow along what you're seeing me do here is finalize the shape of my legs and I started by cutting a flat Edge along the top of my assemblies then I routed a chamfer that runs along the entire inside and then made a sled so that I could cut these joint faces on the ends and now here I'm putting this gigantic roundover bit into the router table so that I can cut an edge detail onto the outside of the leg assemblies that's called a thumbnail which is where you make a big round over but rather than having it be a continuous smooth Arc it has these sharp transitions kind of like your thumbnails so remember at the beginning of the video when I made the Bold claim that these were the prettiest slabs that I've ever used well I still think that and I think we're finally going to start seeing if that's true or false but before you jump to any conclusions I want to point out a bit of irony so ironically a lot of the same qualities that make a slab really pretty when it's all finished are the same qualities that make it kind of uglier when it's rough look at these two slabs I could imagine that a lot of people would say that this one is the prettier of the two I mean it looks pretty good right off the tree whereas the other one looks pretty rough the thing is the the rough one with all of its flaws and issues those are what will make it really pop in the end or maybe I just have a savior complex now obviously this is all just my opinion but factually what I can guarantee is that the rough slabs are way more work even though the initial pore that we did filled in like 99.9% of the voids every time you expose a new layer you reveal new ones I think a good analogy would be like an antill you've seen those images of what they look like underground well that's an extreme example but that's kind of what I imagine slabs might look like on the inside and you're kind of chasing your tail by simultaneously filling up voids and then revealing new voids so lots of touch-up work with epoxy Hot Melt and eventually some CA glue for the tiniest of the holes and I guess all of this is my way of saying if you thought these slabs were ugly in the beginning or maybe you still think that just don't give up on them yet they're late bloomers at this point the Top's looking pretty good obviously still a lot of sanding and touch-up work to do but this next part was the hardest part of this build and it also might be the most confusing so I'm going to go over this in detail but my goal is going to be to make it as easy to understand as I possibly can for everyone even if you're not into the technical side of woodworking or maybe you're a beginner so you just want me to watch this and see if I understand it just Push pause and then you can ask so the most common way that somebody would join a table base like this together would be with something like this but I think that one of the things that's really going to make this table Stand Out is this Hub piece that makes it all flow together so the first thing I need to do is cut out four square chunks of wood one for the top Hub and then three that'll get sandwiched together to make the lower Hub now here's where it starts to get tricky so the block for the lower Hub is going to be 10 in by 10 in and 6 in thick and I could make this shape basically the same way that I shaped the legs by making templates and then routing everything but the problem is I can't glue it into one big block and then shape it because there's no way that my table saw blades or my router bits will be big enough to reach through the thickness so what I need to do instead is shape all of the pieces of the Hub individually and then glue them up after they're shaped and since you've already watched me shape things by hand I figured I'd just do it on the CNC for the sake of variety now the other thing is remember I said that the Hub will be 10x 10 well when I cut it on the CNC I had to leave everything long because I know if I try to Route The Joint faces this is what they're going to look like and that's because the grain is running perpendicular to the cut and it'll tear out really bad so next I need to find a way to Super accurately cut the pieces down to size on my table saw and here's the sled that I came up with this will hit the workpiece at these four points so that each cut is identical as I rotate it to cut all four joint faces and actually I have to make 16 of them because right now I still have the four individual hubs okay so at this point we've got our three pieces for the lower Hub and our fourth piece for the top Hub and the next thing I need to do is join the three pieces together that'll make the big lower Hub and as you can probably imagine it's very crucial that everything lines up perfectly so my first thought here was to cut in some little dominoes between them to make everything line up and stop things from sliding around when the glue is drying so I did that and then good thing was I did a dry assembly because this just wasn't working it just wasn't close enough and The Dominoes kind of prevented me from being able to adjust things on the fly so rather than using them I just threw caution to the wind and glued them up without anything and it's probably kind of hard to tell in the shot but I'm in panic mode here because glue is drying and they're not coming together perfectly so I would say that they came out closer than they were with the dominoes but this is probably the step that I should have spent more time thinking about now something to point out is that perfect alignment here doesn't really matter it's really only The Joint faces that I'm worried about and as you can see in this shot they're not perfect and I definitely need to fix them because otherwise there's going to be some pretty bad gaps so here's what I came up with I clamped a couple blocks onto my C so that I could register the piece like this and then by manually moving my CNC over the joint face with a flattening bit it should remove the exact same amount of material from each face and even though the top Hub piece was fine I had to do the same to it because they need to be identical all right so that takes care of making the Hub piece and now we have to assemble everything so normally I would just use dominoes for this kind of joint but here I wanted to do something different and bigger and here are all the dominoes that my Domino is capable of cutting and I can't go bigger because I don't have the Domino XL so I'm going to make my own Domino Magnum and to do that I made this jig that can kind of snap to the Joint faces of both the legs and the Hub and then I can use my router to cut everything in so would the Domino have worked here I'll say 100% yes and I think this is a really good example of why some people love and why some people hate the Domino boiled down to its simplest form here I'm using like seven cents worth of MDF and a router in bits that I already have for other stuff to do the same thing as a tool that costs over $1,000 but to cut these four joints with the Domino would probably take about 15 or 20 minutes meanwhile to make the jig cut everything in and then having to make the Domino tenons probably took me like 4 hours so so basically if you were only ever going to do this once I could see where the Domino seems like a ripoff but if you're going to do it twice a month for 10 years you start to see the value I know that's simplified math but you get what I mean okay the final thing to do before we assemble is cut the matching bevel on all the Hub pieces and the only trick here is that I'm going to stop cutting just shot of the ends and then I'll refine all the transitions after the glue is dried so that takes us through the hardest most technical part of this build and my question for you is was it easy to understand and to answer on your behalf Dolores yes I mean I can't recite it back but wouldn't it so that and if you leave a comment on this video about that or anything else let me know you watched a good chunk of it by using the term thanks Dolores in your comment and if you're enjoying this video in all sincerity if you'd be willing to give it a like And subscribe to the channel I would be honored and I thank you in advance did you ask anybody yeah so I talked to Sean and Cam and we basically settled on there's two ways you could do it which was kind of the way that I did or power carving it so basically just put together a big wooden block attach everything and then just kind of power carve everything and shape it which in theory you could do I don't think I could do that I'm just not good at Power carving and you know weird way power carving a bear is easier than power carving a perfectly 90° smooth large Arc because a smooth large 90° Arc is only perfect one way whereas a bear can be perfect an infinite amount of ways you know what I mean it's funny how you associate I mean I associate that too when you said hand card I was like oh like a bear and then the other idea we had was there's this thing called a hole saw the problem is those arcs in order to cut that you'd have to have a hole saw with a probably 8 in radi or diameter and those are made for not cutting through a 6in thick block of white oak where it it would come out so terribly so that was the best I could come up with okay so other than some sanding and some finishing we're pretty much done here we're definitely on the home stretch but here comes the part of the build where I mess up really bad so you might have noticed these holes in the top stretches of the leg assemblies and these are what we're going to use to attach the base and the top together eventually but there's something that I'm kind of worried about obviously I want this table to last for generations and once we put it together the bigger chunk of wood in the top is going to be supported by three of the legs which is great but the smaller chunk is only going to be supported like this by one of the legs and I would feel more comfortable knowing that it's being mechanically supported a bit more so I'm going to cut in two grooves for c channel which will bridge the gap turn it off that's not good um I tried to stay positive but um that sucked guess chalk up another lesson learned and that would be if I ever do this again use a down cut bit not an upcut bit I thought I tightened the bit pretty tight in the Chuck but apparently not tight enough and I think when you're removing a pretty large amount of material and it's a pretty big bit half inch the upcut bit is kind of pulling itself down and it slowly pulled itself further and further out and cut all the way through this was supposed to be for a client and I would totally understand if they don't want this table anymore but I guess that is to say I can't do anything right now so I'm going to go email horse and Angie uh give them a couple options including just a full refund see what they want I'll keep building the rest of the table I'm not happy but I'll make something work okay so I spoke with Hani and they decided to take the refund which is 100% understandable and now that means we can do whatever we want in terms of fixing this thing so the first thing that I did was actually cut in the second c channel but I made sure that I used a down cut bit this time and then after that I flipped the whole table over and widened the problem area on the top side better starting point to brainstorm and speaking of brainstorming here are some of the ideas that I had so this is what we're dealing with and the most obvious solution would be to try to camouflage it with matching wood or possibly even highlight it with some white oak from the base another idea was to take Walnut white oak or really any kind of wood and do a sort of patch job which I think can look really cool but it looks better if it's more random and this was just too much of a big concentrated area another idea was to do something like this where it would create the illusion that either the whole base or just the legs of the base were sticking up through through the tabletop and then another idea was to just Lop off the entire problem area and make a white oak kind of permanent Leaf I didn't really like any of these ideas and actually there was one more idea that I did kind of like but it was just too crazy and that was to inlay a Pac-Man Chasing Ghosts which sounds pretty random but it's a call back to a joke from an older video don't worry I'm not going to do it but anyway as I looked at things and thought about it I decided that I really didn't mind the way that the line looked but I didn't like how unbalanced it was I mean I like a symmetry but this was just too much so I started playing around with the idea of adding some lines to create a little bit more visual balance and I like this one so I made the executive decision to cut it in with the down cut bit now what to fill it in with so I got this buddy named Ben who we call Wy because that's his YouTube channel name and he builds stuff out of recycled skateboards and a few years ago he gave me this big blank of old skateboards and this felt like the time to bust it out so I started off by cutting a few thin strips but I didn't want to inlay them like this because they have a bunch of gaps like you can see here so to make it look cleaner I cross cut them into a bunch of smaller pieces that didn't have any gaps like this one now I'm not going to sugarcoat it I would give myself maybe like a B minus on this I would say that the installation itself came out pretty clean no complaints there but I'm a little bummed by this weird optical illusion that it creates so from far away it looks fine and from up close like if you were sitting at the table it looks fine too but from a medium distance some of the darker pieces of the skateboard kind of blend in with the Walnut and it creates this illusion that the pieces are staggered even though they're not and as much as I wanted to like it I didn't so now I'm not out on the skateboard idea completely I think with a different pattern like Chevrons or maybe even just rotating the pieces 90° it might have worked honestly check out W's Channel he does awesome pattern stuff but on this one the biggest problem is I think it's just too much skateboard like I think something that might be cool would be to do a small bow tie to fix a crack or something and maybe I can play around with that on a future project but doing this made the entire piece feel like it was about the inlays they became the focal point and I don't want them to be the focal point so I decided I just needed to do something that won't try to hide the fact that I made a mistake but also won't make the mistake Define the project which is going to be these I called them pill-shaped inlays but I think Dolores hit the nail on the head with her description of popsicle stick inserts thanks to loris now you're not actually supposed to inlay pieces like I did there perpendicular to one another but I decided to roll the dice with this one I mean I think it'll probably be fine but I feel like I'm playing with house money at this point so I was fine using this as an experiment and if it holds up maybe someday I'll try to sell this piece I don't know we can check in on it from time to time in future videos but to wrap this one up let me recount the eight things that I learned from this project one jinxing yourself this is the prettiest wood that I've ever used is real two mold release doesn't work for me three wood that's 3 in thick is more than twice as hard to work than wood that's an inch and a half thick four remember to push the right way at the router table five down cut bit six the people at Fest tool should make a domino Magnum seven skateboards are an embellishment not a focal point for me at least and last but definitely not least people are going to pigeon hole you based on what you show them and what I showed in this project could very well lower my reputation with them as a designer Craftsman and decision maker and while I'm pretty confident that I could have left all that stuff out of the video edited the beauty shots and tricked people into thinking I'm better than I am that's not how it went down and what's more important to me than people thinking I'm good is people trusting that I'll always be honest what I talk about in these videos are the things that I'm thinking about while I'm building but if I take a step back from this project and take an honest look at it I'm really happy with how it turned out I think the base and the shape of the table are beautiful and I can't sit here and lie and say that I'm happy that I messed up the top at the 11th Hour but I can say that I'm happy that I'm not going to let that Define the entire project it's a scar we all have scars but no matter how self-conscious we are about them or how much we might imagine that other people are focused on them the reality is they're not they don't Define us and to think that they do is ridiculous thanks for watching and thank you again to Fiverr for sponsoring this video and don't forget to go to fiverr.com
