We are trying our hand at scribing today. The best way to get a board, or mantel in this case to fit to an uneven wall is to "scribe" it. You can use a drawing compass or an actual scribing tool in order to do this and I am going to show you both ways. Adding a hardwood oak mantel is a great way to really step up your fireplace and make it more styled as your own.

I tried to pour an epoxy resin table over 5 years ago and it failed miserably. I first poured epoxy on this cookie in the spring of 2017. So we are going to see the results of an over 5 year long test. Today we revisit our failed experiment and fix all of the mistakes. We had to re-flatten and remove old finish. We had to make numerous new pours to seal everything up and then finally after all of the epoxy is poured we build some really unique tri-pod style legs for our new finished beauty. #epoxyresin #epoxyresintable TotalBoat Discount use code "SPLINTER22" for 10% OFF via link below: https://www.totalboat.com/product-category/adhesives/ My new favorite sander, this thing is a BEAST. https://amzn.to/3Td2aLT best sandpaper on the market: https://amzn.to/3Mln8pi Please checkout more about Square Splinter via the links below: FOLLOW ME on Social Media: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/squaresplinter Instagram - http://www.instagram.com/squaresplinter Facebook - http://www.fb.com/squaresplinter Website: www.squaresplinter.com

#shorts One of my customers had me build a rustic wooden cooler for them last summer and unfortunately this past spring they suffered a tornado that destroyed most of their home in Andover, KS.

It is designed to resist torsion under an applied load. A hollow core door is probably the most common example of a torsion box (stressed skin) structure. The principle is to use less material more efficiently. The torsion box uses the properties of its thin surfaces to carry the imposed loads primarily through tension while the close proximity of the enclosed core material compensates for the tendency of the opposite side to buckle under compression. Torsion boxes are used in the construction of structural insulated panels for houses, wooden tables and doors, skis, snowboards, and airframes - especially wings and vertical stabilizers. ~~Credit Wikipedia

A 45 layer Epoxy Resin and wood veneer light fixture project sounds great unless it almost puts an end to your Youtube adventure. This project got strung along for almost 10 months with me getting kicked out of my old shop and having to move which pretty much devastated my motivation. This was one of my most challenging build to date. As always this project is mostly for inspiration due to it being very difficult and also really expensive to replicate. Either way I hope you enjoy the video and I thank you for sticking with me and the channel.
