 That gets me excited Yes Let there be power. Oh, it's moving. I'm gonna be working on a wood project for you. It's gonna be the whole process I don't know how many hours and days this is gonna be but I'm gonna walk you through the whole thing an entire video Number one. This is gonna be live edge wood. It's gonna be for my editing desk over here My corner desk that's gonna go under these new shelves that I put in Taxidermist working on some of my fish mounts right now. It's coming together awesome here in the fish cave and this company Flexi spot. They sent me these legs. They saw my last woodworking project and they were like, hey Would you be interested in checking out our legs put on a project and I was already thinking About this wood desk. I was like, you know what that would be really cool to be able to stand up or sit down While I'm editing so we are mixing modern technology with live edge wood Flexi spot sent me these legs. Normally you can get these It come with a tabletop and everything. I said, don't send me that tabletop. Just send me the legs I got the tabletop covered and it's a adjustable frame I got an L-shaped but you could also get like your standard long desk rectangular desk I'm a big fan of the L-shaped desk especially editing because I got so much stuff going on So I've already adjusted these legs to about where I think they should be for this piece of wood But it's gonna help my feet. It's gonna help my back. I spent a lot of time Sitting at a desk staring at a screen punching keys guys. You have no idea I enjoy getting out on the outdoors and I almost dread editing sometimes especially when I know it's gonna be a very very Long edit because I'm sitting on a desk all day. Is it good for your body? It's not good for your back Oh dear goodness, that is good looking y'all This is what is referred to as a live edge slab So instead of having that sharp angle edge cut This goes all the way out to the edge of the tree where the bark is so the bark and outside of the tree is Exposed that live edge this I thought was the perfect piece to go on my office desk If you choose an oak tree or something like that. That's that's not particularly straight You're gonna get a lot of cool angles. I love it. I love live edge tables like that But for an editing desk that needs to go in a corner I couldn't really use that type of wood tiger wood comes from Brazil and it is a Very straight growing tree. I saw these while I was in the Amazon usually pretty straight But they kind of have a cedar look to them Here's the edge of the wood and I'm not gonna do a whole lot to to finish this I'm gonna do some sanding. I'm gonna do a little bit of coating But the goal is to leave this beautiful natural looking piece of wood alone kind of let it do its thing That's kind of the point of using live edge wood for any of you go off on me cutting down trees in the rainforest This is a sustainable Sustainably sourced piece of wood. I'm gonna have to miter this edge and that's gonna take a chunk out of the wood Actually the original way I wanted to miter this it was gonna take way too much off this wood and this stuff is Expensive y'all this normally is $880 but I got it for a little over 500 bucks they had this piece on sale. There's this website called wood slabs calm They're not a sponsor, but I use them to source this piece of wood. I shopped around locally I wanted to find something locally, but I couldn't find exactly what I needed like this shipped from Florida And it was free because my order was over $500 anything over 500. This sounds like a plug for them It's but I promise you dad works in the trucking industry. He was like, how much did that cost the ship? I was like nothing it was free because it was over $500 he couldn't believe it normally This would be a lot to ship because it's over 200 pounds It's very heavy, but I just wanted to mention that in case you're looking for some live edge You're looking locally can't find what you want. This is it's a pretty good deal So here's the dilemma very expensive You don't want to just cut pieces off You don't have much to work with a true miter cut that I would have to cut 45 degree angles in this wood If you take a 45 degree angle over here over here It's gonna take about four feet out of that piece of wood, which I cannot afford So I'm going to do an altered miter cut where I just cut 145 and I'm gonna flip the other side But it's gonna be unique. It's gonna be cool It's gonna look awesome and it's gonna be on some electronic legs that allow it to go up and down Let's get into this thing. I've got a track saw that I'm gonna be using to make the Cut know what I found you can't just go to home depot and get yourself a track saw I had to order one of these things online But what the tracks all allows you to do cut anything at a long length and you can keep adding tracks as many tracks as you want I wouldn't got this foam from home depot I think it's a two inch piece of a foam there and that allows me to cut all the way through the piece of wood It'll cut into the foam not into the concrete. So realistically. I've got one shot to do this right make the right cut I'm a little nervous. I'm a little nervous. I might have to get my dad to come over and help me move this thing It's so heavy. Okay, I'm gonna call it right there This is my track. This is what I'm gonna be using to run a saw down and make this Not perfectly straight cut, but about as good as we can get what's going on? LFD's here. I heard miss B ran off. Yeah She made me look bad. Yeah, he's like a three-year-old running through the neighborhood She got in some hog manure and just wallowed around hog Yeah Shout out to LFD for helping me move that Could not have done that by myself take my 90 degree tool butt it up against the track Make sure that's 90 go down here taking a piece of the shelf. I recently cut Butt it up against that make sure it's flush and then I know that's a 45 Cut that on the miter saw and then I went ahead and marked it right here And I'll run that down this way and then on the other side It's gonna be very important that I do not move this track once I start cutting so nerve-racking Think we did it though. The cut looks pretty clean. I think that tracksaw did pretty good So hopefully it's the right angle. I'm gonna flip this piece over and see how it looks as an L Any different So here's the issue that I pretty much already anticipated the challenging part here when you get to the angles of the live edge like how much more that's Sticking out see and then you got different lengths going on like How is that? You know, that's that's not that's not right. We're just gonna have to Put our thinking cap on here This is the move this weird-looking situation There's there's not a whole lot I can do about it because of this tracksaw It's able to cut at different angles as you can see it laying right now. I'm gonna cut this side To be more like that angle and then that will fit in better. It'll look better. I Might actually be able to cut it at this angle here I could take it off and then do some burning on it and make it kind of match I'm not happy with you know having to cut it the way it is and then You know the inside of the board isn't gonna match up, but if I did a true miter cut We're talking about basically removing Four feet, which is about the length of that edge right there. So that would leave me nothing life is hard Sometimes you got to make these tough decisions, but I think I could live with that and still have a really awesome table That was a very difficult cut to make but we made it and I think it looks pretty good it didn't take too much off the table and It gives it that nice Matching-looking edge, and then I could just put it on the opposite way to match, but I Don't think I'm gonna do that. I don't think that's the right thing to do So now it's time to call upon my buddy Lance. I need the plunger, buddy Let's do it. That's gonna go in here This piece is already gonna drop down in we're about to bore that next This is gonna drop in it's gonna go right in there there. This will tighten down and it will pull the two pieces together So we'll do the next there's ready one two three four four more times five or Maybe nine more holes When's the last time you plunged a quality piece of wood? Well, I never have but I'm watching my good buddy Lance Do it right now with his Festur Domino XL. That's right. This thing makes connections It's a connection maker. You could call it the Facebook of tools It's it's the Cadillac. It's the Cadillac, baby. There's basically a big old What do you call those things on a Norwhal walrus face? It's a walrus a glorified router that oscillates That gets me excited it does a little dangle in there and it goes side to side it makes these perfect little oval holes And what goes in there? It's called down. It's a doubt a doubt jig on steroids. Lance has a whole garage full of these festoos They're they're German. They're very nice tools I have a bunch of D waltz because I'm just a redneck who lives in the woods One thing about being at the treehouse You never know what kind of bugs you're seeing and I got a I got an eyeball on probably one of the biggest stink bugs I've ever seen my life. He is right there on that rake Take a gander. Take a gander. That old boy there You look like five miles down the road. Yeah, I don't want to touch him. They really stink Well, I don't I don't know why they call them stink bugs, but I know they do carry something you don't want like They do make you fart. That's a hundred percent true. I'm going to put wood glue on these dominoes. Oh Dang, that one really juiced out. Yeah, I better tell. Big time. And these are these are these are just for support pieces Right, they're just gonna go in why they hold the two pieces together Monumental part of the video. I've got these pegs in these are our connectors that go on the other side that are gonna tighten down and I need to make sure these Go in here. So it looks like they line up. So I need to come up a little bit Yeah, come on pegs. Oh, yes. Oh, yeah There we go OSG helped me migrate the legs in here and now we have What is appearing to be a bottom of a table I've got to get this lined up But it's looking supreme. I do see a problem with This over here. There's a lot of real estate on this end. I don't really see that supporting all the way out here I didn't want to cut the wood and get too hasty because if it does support it, I definitely want it But it's looking pretty long. I basically just need to make sure that gravity doesn't destroy me and destroy my table So let's line up some holes and let's get this thing balanced I'm told when you're working with dense wood like cherry wood or any kind of fruit woods Tiger wood. This is the kind of screw that you want to use something with more teeth more finer refined More fine teeth. I don't know more grip basically Sanding sanding sanding time to make it smooth Have to be in-sand it matches the cave Beautifully, I can't wait to get this over here in this corner right here and start making more videos on it I'm gonna feel the warmth of the Amazon on that table. It's gonna inspire me to make amazing content for you guys So that's what I'm excited about. It's beautiful This control box Is gonna connect to I'm gonna go ahead and say the word actuators I think that's the right word actuators on the legs They simply plug in with these cables right here, and we're gonna use these plates to cover that up I'm gonna use all this space that I have and hide this cable and this plate is gonna go on top like that Okay, time out. That's a new Guggen Squad shirts Oh my gosh, you look so good. You see what we just did y'all You see what we've just Created Look at this. This table is just gorgeous. Just that natural look is so Frothy very very stable. It's even got little micro adjustments on the legs, so I can get it Just right but man, I'm out of breath. Should I go ahead and do the raise up leg thing? That's that's the cool part It's like the ooh a part. Should I do it now or should I wait? They should wait. I should wait until the entire thing is on here. I'm stoked if you can't tell I love wood I got to bring in the big guns OSG My middle school man arms Middle school man arms you do that. That's the kind of arms. I had when I was like 12 Yeah, they're like their suit not football Yeah Yeah, the fat doesn't go to your arms whatsoever She's never gonna be that old woman. That's got them flat arms not OSG. It's supposed to be like that. Yeah No, babe, what are you doing? What are you doing? We're messing with things that you don't know about come on now. All right now. Let's get this table and let's put it up Basically so I put a 220 gift grip or a little sand job on this guy This is huge. It is big that side is definitely big I mean it looks just so phenomenal Now I haven't typed it up, but oh my gosh There's no way if I let go that it's gonna support Well, I got a tripod supporting it right now Connected at the bottom and see if it's gonna hold. I think Steph's right. I don't I don't think there's any way It's gonna happen. I think I'm gonna have to End up cutting it, but it does look good I can't wait to see the action That's the fun part everybody wants to see the I especially like the edge It's just like little crusties like a little Oreo crust and then delicious cream in the middle Red Irish cream. Are you talking about wood in a more sensual way than you talk about me? Oh, you should hear me talk about fish I really don't want to do this But I'm telling you guys this piece of wood. It's a hundred pounds I was four now. I'm gonna cut it down to three on the back of the table It's gonna be like five. So there's just a lot of weight there breaking my heart But just the way it has to be So I had to do a little deconstruction y'all Not gonna lie had to had to take her down Key problem. I wasn't able to reach keyhole The main keyhole that brings I mean that's the center one of the table because this Was covering it so I'm gonna put it together on the ground both pieces This is the big moment. This is the bringing of the gap. Oh There we go. Yes Yeah, no, that's how I want it Well, we're just gonna have to cut those two two inches. I bet I bet it's two inches Yeah, good. Yeah, actually because the one at the end pulls together. It's not completely tight But it's not like the other ones Right angle like we use one point five when we really should probably use one point well one point six The main thing is you got to use an imperial tape measure. Cool Okay sounds good, thanks man These screws have a bullet point into them and when they go down into this divot It's designed to pull together, but since we did not measure absolute Perfection it's actually kind of driving apart where it's hitting and that guys is just no Way, no, I mean not only do I want it to fit together just totally tight and be great But the other thing is this thing is super heavy as you guys know So having a gap like that is is not gonna be good with that much weight Another day has gone by with the table what I have learned with wood projects Don't think you're gonna get it done in one day If you're new to it you got everything planned out you draw it out and especially working with with raw wood live edge Rough cut wood. There's always imperfections and things that you're gonna have to adjust for I'm just not gonna accept anything else Other than perfection on this table. It's just too cool See those holes right there That is what we got a match up with this piece of wood over here So my buddy Lance is coming over and he's going to help me perfectly line these up again I guess we'll use this as a Reference point you're gonna see me finish this table today. It's gonna be in this shirt. I've worn a lot of shirts and pants Different clothing during this video because it's been many days if we're 38 on this side And we're hypothetically 38 on the other side till we overcompensate and do 42. Oh Yeah, cuz we're not cutting the other side. Yeah But then and then I don't know We ended up having to go back y'all because when I measured the lines across this other piece of wood At a 45 it created a greater distance and did not line the holes up correctly Some of you may not understand what I'm talking about. I don't even fully understand. I just know that physics Was involved. You got a nice piece of firewood. We got it We are great. I could maybe make a Swiss cheese baseball bat out of that It's like about a thirty five dollar piece of firewood. What's something creative? I could do with that Lance hanging on your wall to realize that the projects are not easy So anyway, we are we were down to this it's gonna be okay for much effort and more calculations We've brought the table together y'all been some boo-boos that have happened. I Also drilled a pilot hole through the table I'm going to saw this off and make it kind of a rounded corner and Lance gave me some of these tools very refined Sanding and shaping tools that have really fine teeth on them that I'm gonna be able to Round this corner off with really shape it in a tight spot the way I want to the unfortunate thing is I'm sitting inside of the cave right now and Doing all this sanding and chopping is gonna leave a ton of sawdust when I'm done It's gonna be ultra smooth. We're gonna get this thing in the corner finally today termination skills Screw-ups, but then recoveries Woodwork knowledge learned What this tool is doing is allowing me to take off large chunks of this wood very quickly And it's it's like Velcro. It's like very very hard velcro Absolutely perfect for this situation where I've got one side that is rising up higher than the other We're proud than the other side Something's biting the crap out of me on this shirt. We're gonna change out of it I don't know what that was all about something was getting me. All right. We're almost Too smooth in this here. That's a spot one of those nails got right there So I'm gonna take that out take all these little marks out and It's just gonna be pristine I just went over this table with 180 grit sandpaper for about an hour. There's just I've just hair Roughness. I mean just tiny little little baby hair this crack. I mean you run your finger across it You can't you can't touch your nail. It is Hmm Whoo, just takes a lot of work woodworking guys. It's like it's like raising a baby Now it's time to add some mineral spirits. This basically just Takes away all the little dirt things. I'm using an old crappy rag. Oh, I got two This look beautiful y'all This color is gonna be what it's like when I'm done after I bring out all the Dirt little little things that are still in there and then put some old linseed oil in there and That is going to basically give it its final Color. We're giving the spirits time to dry Now it's time to add the bold linseed oil, which I've never used Well, I've never had some of trouble with the cap of my life. Okay, finally got it. Wow That's a harness the inner tiger of the tiger wood Says here on the can you're supposed to let this soak in to The wood for about 12 to 18 hours stuff doesn't harden or anything like that. It's literally just a It's like a wood lubricant Yeah All right y'all the table is fire after that bowl of linseed oil sat overnight Absolutely gorgeous. I'm gonna do two more coats on it But this is pretty much what the finished product is gonna look like now We've been waiting this whole time to see not only the natural beauty of the table here in the new editing corner At the fish cave, but now I present to you Some lifting action. Hold on to your nuts. Oh Yeah, oh, yeah, we put some cobi into this right now. Oh, yeah, we're going We're going up is now a standing desk. I want to sit down. We just come over here Well, we drop it back down, babe Just drop it back down a little easy a beautiful mix of technology and It is time we get back to work and do some edits y'all Thanks for coming along on today's build. There's a lot of wires that are kind of messy I think I'm gonna use some pallet wood to make a Small box to hold a lot of the the cables and just keep that wood look going in here The fish cave just continues to come together if you're interested in doing a table like this You can get some table legs from flexi spot dot com if you want to use the discount code Lake Fort guy I check out you get $15 off So shout out to them for providing the legs for this table and make sure to get dried wood This one was kiln dried, but it came all the way from Florida, which is a moist environment and here in Texas It's dry. So there was some cracking that's going on subscribe right here to the channel hit the ding dong for all the notifications You guys want to see more videos? I got some over here And if you want to get some merch and support the channel go ahead and click on the latest merchandise right there Probably gonna be a sweet t-shirt. Oh, hey, what's up? Just take it down Yeah, that's a little high Here we go
