On this episode I’m trying out a new woodworking technique where I use epoxy resin to reinforce miter joints. This will both increase their strength and ad a unique aesthetic. In addition to this new technique, the video covers making angled, tapered legs, creating templates, half lap joinery, and more.

How were those silhouette portraits made at 1:50? Can Illustrator or any other software generate paths like what he had with minimum custom editing?
That ad transition is as good as Steve Ramsay’s MicroJig ads back in the day. If you’re going to have ads they might as well be entertaining. Well done.
An interesting epoxy is HXTAL NYL-1. It’s a two-parter which must be precisely weighed. It is optically clear with the same refractive index as borosilicate glass. It’s used for museum-quality restoration and conservation. It ain’t cheap, but it is a fine product. It’s high viscosity, can be thinned with acetone, doesn’t use UV to catalyze the reaction, and is extremely hard at full cure. I’m trying it’s cousin, XTR311, which is quite a bit less viscous, to try to heal some cracks in several Victorian-era stained/leaded glass panels, as I write this.
Sooooo
When are we getting “Thicknai?????” T-shirts?
I am sitting here thinking……..WTF – What in privileged hell were you thinking snapping off the leg to that "DECENT" piece. Next time. Take it apart. Bubblewrap the legs. Ask one of your "Subscribers" Who would like this piece? Then have them make a donation (Plus Shipping) to your cause or your advertising campaigns and send the piece out. Someone would of bought that. Great work. You got me subscribing and that is hard to do. Look forward to the next piece you make and offer to me first. =)
Watching the test to failure was particularly rewarding. Don’t get me wrong, I really liked the whole thing, but watching the failure of the joint separate pretty much exactly how I expected made me wonder if you might revisit this epoxy joint with some routing of the interior of the joint. Keyway routing, slot, multiple slots….whatever variations you think of. It would be neat to see if there is some extra strength created in the joint by increasing the surface area of the epoxy / wood interface through clever routing.
It was ME who thought of it first. How do I know this? I just know because I’m the shit and I deserve praise for it.
Cleanist segway into a sponsor ad
Cool idea. I may try this but with a contrasting colour timber insert rather than epoxy. I like the jigsaw puzzle piece, I think it would offer the most support.
I’ve never seen so many product plugs in a wood working video. Get a better mic with all that ad money lol.
Too much filler in this video.
Cleanest shop ive seen. More like a home made pastry kitchen.
Thicknai? Thicc Nye!
I got incredibly nervous watching you operate a table saw and jointer wearing gloves.
I really wanted to see you smack out the other joints to stress test them.
This guy needs at least some education in saw safety and shouldn’t just rely on the saw’s safety features for protection. Not sure why sponsors do not put their promoters under greater scrutiny.
Has anyone ever told you you sound like Razbuten? Because I am.
I like then information, but I can’t with the Waste of handmade furniture. Why not give or sell it so it gets used.
Warning video critique: good video but a better ending would have been to perform a comparison of the different joints and the breakpoints for each.
Just curious, what’s the reason for the rubber gloves?
Great video! I love how you rep another craftsman “Cris from Get Hands Dirty”, I enjoy watching and listening to her while she works, as I do you. Nothing more annoying than watching someone work and not understanding some little thing they do. I get it adds a level of complexity to the editing but so helpful to follow along. I do have a question though- about the gloves, I am a safety professional so that stuck out to me. Not lecturing or being critical, but a serious question for my understanding- you have a Sawstop device on your saw, would the gloves delay the action of the safety feature? I get it may be infinitesimal but could it be bad enough to cause injury?
It’s "thick-neye" by the way,.
I’m sure you put a lot of work into this video and thanks for that… Having said that, it’s un-watchable for me. You just throw out the "1/8th Inch drill trick" and basically say guess what I mean….. and lots of other confusing elements…
i liked it with the red hue with the tape. 4 different coloured corners with diff shapes would look cool.
I have to ask. Pirates, cubs, and tigers… what’s up with that?!
Yeah, no. Use that CNC to cut a matching wood insert at 5 thou undersized and the just glue it with wood glue. Keep grain perpendicular to the joint. Then you’ve got a decent joint.
Nice try but stick to woodworking. Leave out the humour.
I think the woodpecker items on the side of your table saw are worth more than my shop.
I liked the boomerang joint the best, just maybe smaller would look ideal. Nice work.
The plural of thickness is thicknesses or thicknesss.
That’s right. Thicknesss with three S’s.
The best sponsor segway I’ve ever seen 😂😂😂
Wood workerr 20%, drama 30%,tools 50%. Not for beginner just like me 😁.
A refinement would be using a lexan inserts in the form of the shapes you cut in the legs.
Wears shirt saying "get hand dirty"
*Also wears doctor gloves when sanding*
Great video and love the experimentation of the CNC shaped epoxy in fill to make the joint a joint.
Was pretty surprised when you smashed it up though; why not sell it?
I even watch the entire sponsor clip, you doing good at filming.
But, let’s be honest about epoxy, in this very specific table, the epoxy resin is more about cosmetic stuff because the shape of it. Yes the join holded perfectly, even if (my thoughts) there’s no epoxy in it. But who knows? No one tested it (yet).
Your precise annunciation through the video is great to listen to. The style of humour in the "humorous" sections I don’t find believable though because of it. It just doesn’t seem to match. My opinion.
New to the channel, so awesome! Smooth style and precision patience. Like a groovey meditation. Thought you were Neal Brennan at first, ha. One of the greatest shops/tools I’ve seen. I’m a sucker for ano. Great work!
I’ve assembled sheds in time past yet this plan outlines are excellent woodplans.works This woodwork plan is second to none. I’ve never seen such. The sheds are looking extremely pleasant and the building arrangement guidelines are so gritty and exceptionally all around arranged. This is cool!
you dont want to be putting it in your eye no matter how clear it sets
ingenious out-of-focus-idea, great
Why not give the table away to a fan? Seems like a waste to me dude.
Recently I’ve started watching woodworking videos, but I may need to stop due to severe tool/workshop envy…

Thanks for sharing your work. 👍🏾
Why do i keep forgetting that this drill bit trick exists? Dammit!
the puzzle piece joint looks very interesting! I wonder if it would work using a wood piece for the connection… it would have a lot of surface for glueing.
shut up
gloves create a risk of the hands being drawn into machinery…i’ve seen it happen. not something i would recommend, it only has to happen once and the outcome is unpredictable.
Nice vid. Very handsome too
