you know how sometimes you have an idea that you know is bad but you do it
anyway
so I initially had this idea a few months ago I was working on something in my garage and I saw a few broken crayons sitting in the house and
I thought I wonder what would happen if I melted and inlaid these in some wood
in fact this shot is my initial test from that day
flash-forward a couple months I'm in my new shop
I finally got things mostly organized and now I can give it a real shot so if
I'm being honest I was probably about 75% certain that this would work at all
actually that's not true if you asked me to break it down beforehand I would have
said that there's about a 5% chance that it'll go flawlessly a 5% chance that it
will completely fail and a 90% chance that it'll work out but that there will
be some compromises along the way a few bumps and bruises and maybe a couple of
regrets kind of like life
oh and naysayers let me save you the trouble this is a terrible idea it's
impractical it's gimmicky it's arguably a waste of
wood but it was also a lot of fun and that's worth something
a lot actually so so far you just been seeing me mill up my walnut and prep it
for gluing into one larger slab here I'm over using some dominoes because I want
to make sure that both of the boards stay perfectly coplanar after I gloom up
after it was dry took one more really light pass on the planer and that was
really just to get rid of any glue squeeze-out
so this one board is gonna give me the top and both of the legs so what I'm
doing in this shot is sort of dividing it into sections so that I know where
each of the break points is gonna be that way I can plan out where I want my
crayon river to flow where I wanted to stop and start and so forth the next
thing I did was take a sharpie and roughly trace out said River then my
first idea was to use the edge of my sander to start carving out the path and
as you're gonna see in the next shot I ended up abandoning this method but the
reason that I went with it is that I thought it was gonna come out looking
more natural but it was kind of slow so I figured I'd just route it instead and
this worked fine it has a sort of planned organic look that feels random
enough
while my main river was cooling I decided to play around with blending
techniques on some plywood there was a definite middle ground that I was going
for I wanted the colors to blend a little
but not too much kind of like a marbling where any to meet also if you watch
closely here you can actually see the wax turn back into a solid kind of cool
once my wax was significantly solid I came back with a card scraper and remove
anything that spilled over the edge and you can see in this shot that the wax
actually sits below the top of the wood and the reason for that is that I
thought it would be easier to get everything level with the planer rather
than by hand and I'd rather remove the wood with the plainer than wax going
through the planer caused one little blemish but luckily it's pretty easy to
repair this stuff and I can hear what you're thinking why
not leave the cran wax low and do the top in a clear resin or epoxy so I
actually tried that on a test piece and it ended up causing more problems at
least for me what it ended up doing was pulling up the wax entirely and I think
you could get around that if you did a really thick coat of epoxy but that
would have a totally different look so maybe for another day all right now
let's turn this thing into a table or a waterfall coffee table more specifically
actually that might not be technically correct but in any case a table where
the grain stays consistent where it transitions from top to leg and doing
this is pretty simple to explain but it'll be even easier with an animation
so basically I'm going to cut a pair of bevels where the legs meet the top then
on one of the legs we'll flip it around and back bevel it
and then do the same to one end of the top
after that we can tilt our blade back up to 90 degrees and cut our legs to their
final length and then we can assemble it all
so this pretty much all went exactly as planned
except that cutting wood generates heat and heat melts wax so this is where the
one major blemish of this table occurred but we'll try to fix that later try
being the operative word there
now this clamping situation might look a little weird but what I'm doing is using
the tape method that you seem to use plenty of other times and then using a
strap clamp and some squares to apply pressure to make sure that the joints
are at 90 degrees after it was dry I came back and reinforced these with some
dominoes and you could definitely get by without this but I had an idea for an
extra little color pop by shortening the Domino's and bearing them below the
surface and then filling the mortis with some more current and while I'm doing
that let's take a minute to think this week sponsor expressvpn so if you're not
familiar with a VPN it stands for a virtual private network and people use
them for all sorts of reasons personally I like that expressvpn protects me
against snooping interference and censorship and allows me to unblock
content by hiding my IP address and changing my virtual location sounds your
technical it's not for example say I want to change my location to Milan
Italy here's how I do it now VPNs aren't mandatory for life on the web but having
one definitely gives me a lot more peace of mind and some of the advantages of
expressvpn are they have the fastest speeds server locations in 94 countries
24/7 customer support apps for Windows Mac iOS Android Linux routers and more
it's super easy to connect and disconnect they're the best in class
encryption and you get it all for less than seven bucks a month with a 30-day
money-back guarantee and actually if you go to expressvpn comm slash four-eyes
you can get three months for free with a one-year package so again that's exp
ress VPN comm / 4s take back your internet privacy today by typing it in
or just clicking on the link in the description all right thanks expressvpn
the next thing that I decided to do was use my branding iron to deboss my logo
and then I wanted to fill that up with some more cracks
turns out that sanding ruined that idea I think it was just too shallow and thin
after that I tried to fix the problem area at the corner by melting some cran
into it and then scraping it flat and this didn't really work that said I
don't doubt that it could I was sort of worried about overworking things at this
point so I figured best to just live with the gap then to make things worse
after that it was on the sanding and finishing and when you stand it's gonna
really dull the cran but after you put on your maker brand simple finish with
wax gonna come right back to life

one of the most important processes or activities that enables growth at least
in my opinion is experimentation that is when you have an idea
be it good or bad you have the luxury to explore it and see where it might lead
and that was something that was really missing from my life a few months ago
because I've working full time while simultaneously trying to meet all the
deadlines in my upload schedule I couldn't really play with things
basically knowing that any misstep could set me back a couple of days meant that
I couldn't afford myself any missteps in other words the freedom to fail and of
everything that's changed for me that arguably could be the biggest difference
maker in wherever I end up in a few months or a few years from now it really
feels like for the first time in my life anything that I want to do or try a
crayon special thanks to Josh Logue Brent young Andrew Hayden Robin Mohamed
andreas pallidus and the rest of my patreon members for making these videos
possible if it weren't for you I wouldn't be able to do a lot of the
things that I'm doing experimenting with stupid ideas like melting crayons into a
table I wouldn't have the confidence to do it because I wouldn't have the
freedom to fail so thank you for giving me that freedom and if you want to find
out how you can support the show too just click the patreon link in the
