about a month ago I built this coffee table with a crayon inlay it was sort of
an experiment to see if it would even work and surprisingly it worked pretty
well that said it left me with a lot of people asking how durable it was and well
it's about exactly as durable as a crayon so I wanted to test out making an
improved more durable version and that's what we're gonna do today
so the first thing that I did was make a small version to test the technique that
I planned on using just to make sure that it would work before I spent
several days doing the real thing
and I thought the test piece came out pretty good so I decided to get started
on the real thing
I started by prepping and gluing two boards together so that I could make my
top which is gonna be about 18 inches wide and 60 inches long and after that
set up overnight I was ready to start routing my groove and melting my crayons
so the big difference between this table and the last table is that this one's
going to have a top coat of epoxy about a quarter of an inch thick and this was
actually my first time using epoxy on a project so I'm definitely no expert but
I'll throw a link to what I used in the description so that you can learn more
about it if you're interested
after the top was dry and I had knocked the epoxy back to a flush with the wood
I used my table saw to cut the whole thing down to its finish size and the
reason that I did this after I poured the crayon in the epoxy was so that I
didn't have to worry about it all spilling out since the river's go to the
edge of the table basically it made the whole process a lot more simple and
speaking of simple let's take a minute to think this week's sponsor simply safe
simply safe offers incredibly effective reliable and customizable home security
systems that are monitored by professionals 24/7 who'll call in an
emergency and send police help if needed it was really easy and intuitive to set
up and use I think a screwdriver was about as complex as it got for me and
most of the components just used double-sided tape now obviously
everybody's house is different but I think it took me like two hours to set
up and that included filming it anyhow you can tell that simply safe has taken
the time to make their system nice things like how small and discreet their
sensors are or little things like reminding you if you've left the door
window open on top of that they offer really fair and honest prices with no
contracts or hidden fees and everything is equipped for worst-case scenarios
so for example if you were to lose power or Wi-Fi or if your system is attacked
it's still gonna work personally speaking I've had my system for about
six months now and it's been great so far one of the unexpected benefits has
been the nightly routine that it provides for my five-year-old long story
short all of a sudden he became aware of our mortality and went through a phase
of being worried about locked doors and closed windows before going to bed so
every night we take a look at the blue glowing light and that gives us the
confidence to sleep tight right so if you've been thinking about a home
security system or even if you have one that you think could be better
check out simply safe put a system together and see if it might be a better
option for you just head over to simply safecom slash four-eyes or better yet
click the link in the description thanks simply safe okay let's set the top aside
for a bit and start working on the base of the table here we're going to be
using eight quarter walnut boards that will get milled down to about an inch
and a half thick
so at this point I have pieces that are perfectly square if you look at them
this way next it was just a matter of cutting all
of my pieces to varying lengths so that I could start assembling everything and
actually let's cut away to an animation so that we can see how everything is
gonna come together so what I'm cutting the length is four
pieces that are 15 and a quarter inches long four pieces that are 15 and a half
inches long and four pieces that are fifty seven and a half inches long the
shortest pieces are going to become the legs the other short pieces will be the
stretches and aprons that run across the piece and the long pieces will be the
stretches and aprons that run along the piece and then of course the top will go
well on top
you
after everything was cut to size I started assembling so here I'm marking
out screw locations and my plan was the countersink two screws through each face
where there was a connection and then to backfill those with more crayon wax and
epoxy but we'll get back to that in a minute because first I have to finish
cutting everything into the base that we're gonna need to cut in here I'm
making a chamfer to create a separation line between the base and the top which
was quick and easy to just route in and then here I'm using these figure 8 clips
which is what we're gonna use to attach the base to the top okay
let's get back to plugging the screw holes with some crayon wax
so my first idea was to just jam some wax into the holes and melt it and it
was working but it was also kind of lumpy looking so I kept melting it
further and then it seemed like it just dripped right into the screw hole so I
guess I could have just put more until it stopped sinking in but I decided to
try something else my next attempt was to melt some in this little silicon I
don't know cupcake mold thing I guess and then pour it in and this worked
better and I think with a little patience would be the right way to go
but I started to kind of sour on the idea for some reason I guess I just
figured that the top was enough color already
so I abandoned this idea all together and cut some plugs instead
you
after having tried this technique two different ways I can't fully commit to
saying that one way is better than the other but personally speaking if it's a
piece that I'm going to keep I'll go with the all crayon approach I think
it's noticeably more vibrant and I like the waxy Sheen plus I know that I'm not
gonna be using this technique in an area of my house where it's gonna get beat up
and if an accident did happen I could fix it pretty quick with a heat gun and
a crayon but if I were building this for somebody else
I'd probably err on the side of suggesting the epoxy overlay approach
here there's nothing to worry about we could have Michael Flatley Riverdance
on this River table and there's not going to be any hard feelings so yeah
that's it no real conclusion or I guess no sway from me you take your pick and
whichever side of the line you decide to color on well I guess the inside is
really all just a matter of perspective anyway special thanks to Rachel Manske
