$15,000 Kitchen Island

@blacktailstudioAbout
I’m Cam, the owner of Blacktail Studio. I started woodworking in 2016 as a hobby. Eventually I realized my hobby was expensive, so I tried selling some items to sustain it. Then I thought I might be able to help find customers if I made a video or two on the process. So in 2018 I launched my YouTube channel. This led to that, and in 2020 I quit my job to do this woodworking youtuber thing full time. Best decision I ever made though, I hope you enjoy following along!

Blacktail epoxy table workshop: https://www.blacktailstudio.com/the-epoxy-workshop This wood slab kitchen island was one of my biggest woodworking projects to date. It was also my first kitchen island/woo countertop project! Made from a single piece of locally salvaged Black Walnut and the voids filled with jet black epoxy resin. This slab started out at nine feet long and over five feet wide. Rough cut by me and the final shape was precision cut by a CNC. I even decided to deliver this one personally and help with the installation. Let me know if you have any questions about the build! 0:00 Intro 0:45 Unloading Problems 2:28 Mixing and Pouring Epoxy 3:46 Table Top Epoxy For The Top 5:13 Rough Cutting To Size With Tracksaw 5:45 How I Flatten My Tables 6:29 CNC Cutting Slab To Shape 7:53 Medium Bad Idea 8:34 Inlaying C-Channel 11:00 Client Response... 12:07 Touching Up Pits With Epoxy 14:45 How I Finish My Tables 16:48 Delivery Day Need one on one help from me? https://www.blacktailstudio.com/shop/consultation Related videos and blogs: Partial Epoxy Table Mold https://youtu.be/ShG4tNcJzFg Epoxy Clarity Test: https://youtu.be/aEoMvZe8KQ8 How to make an epoxy table: https://www.blacktailstudio.com/blog/how-to-make-an-epoxy-resin-table How to finish a table: https://www.blacktailstudio.com/blog/how-to-finish-a-table Epoxy table mold: https://www.blacktailstudio.com/blog/how-to-make-an-epoxy-resin-mold Calculating epoxy: https://www.blacktailstudio.com/blog/epoxy-volume-calculation C-channel video: https://youtu.be/FqQUlLJOTMg Bow tie inlay: https://www.blacktailstudio.com/blog/wood-inlay-for-beginners-bow-tie-joint Shop slabs like this: https://gobywalnut.com/ Items used in this video: New Blacktail n3 Nano: https://blacktailstudio.myshopify.com/pages/n3-launch C-channels: https://conceptthirteen.ca?ref=btjrt2lvnw8g Angle grinder: https://amzn.to/3pu2iXZ Aggressive wire wheel: https://amzn.to/3jUNYqk Festool Track Saw: https://www.festoolusa.com/products/sawing/track-saws Liquid glass epoxy (deep/slow): https://amzn.to/3s6GROb Table top epoxy (touch-ups/fast): https://amzn.to/3asufLq CA glue: https://amzn.to/3tiiKNu Kutzall ball nose burr: https://amzn.to/3s0iGAG Mold caulk: https://amzn.to/3k5KukY Mold release: https://amzn.to/2Znle01 Black dye: https://amzn.to/3s2BIXv Paddle mixer (small): https://amzn.to/2NyR8Eb Mafell track saw: https://www.timberwolftools.com/mafell-k85ec-circular-saw Threaded inserts (amazon alternative): https://amzn.to/3k2pift Festool Router: https://amzn.to/3cUeHBf Roundover bit: https://amzn.to/3uwTwv0 Cheaper router alternative: https://amzn.to/37jeC7d Carbide scraper: https://amzn.to/3pyAwJQ Light stick: https://amzn.to/2Znj7JA Mesh sandpaper: https://amzn.to/3ptVj1k Table finish: https://amzn.to/3bBBz6J Raw wood cleaner: https://amzn.to/3auLsnK Gem buffer: https://amzn.to/2N6qWRt Photography light (similar): https://amzn.to/2RjiMqp Countersink: https://amzn.to/3k50ROE White buffing pads: https://amzn.to/3u85vzV Maroon pads: https://amzn.to/2Ng1YyX Furniture bolts: https://amzn.to/2NdDAOg www.blacktailstudio.com Instagram: @blacktailstudio https://www.instagram.com/blacktailstudio/ facebook: https://www.facebook.com/blacktailstudio/
