Hi, would you say this jointer is viable for a small production shop making hard maple countertops, or is it more of a hobbiest level tool? Cheers.
I bought one off Marketplace for $25. Had to take apart to get into the basement…..then daughter and family moved in (100% welcome…see granddaughter every day). Finally have room for reassembly and this helps do that.
Thank you for showing nothing useful and only showing sponsors and adds. Certifies you are a dead UA-cam channel that does not need to exist in my feed.
Wow this table is super impressive! Well done! Subscribed
how many gallons did you buy for a desk this size?? Amazing project
Absolutely fantastic. Every little detail cared for. Very talented.
Awesome job. Did you have to fight a lot of bubbles in the pour?
That's pretty extreme, and a bit cool. Your guest's kneecaps though...
Normally, I'd be upset. But holy wow, you knocked it out of the park, and made a true work of art from an existing work of art. If I had any money, I'd be offering you mega dollars for this. Unbelievable amount of skill on display here, and super creative to boot. Tons of cool ideas made real.
What kind of Epoxy you used ? I see o the internet that not all the epoxy can be used. Thanks
@buildxyz What is the black liquid that you put at 5:17s ? Thanks
Thought this said tech deck and legitimately thought you'd made a tech deck skatepark lol... sooooo how about it??
Brooooo forceee!!!!💪
Incredibile
First of all - from somebody who LOVES pinball (over forty machines in my collection) and a maker - this is a FANTASTIC build. I am completely impressed, (and just a touch jeleous!). Your sheer dedication to perfection - unreal. I am a seasoned designer of DXF files, and a huge fan of using CNC machinery when possible - but you took it to the limits man!! Very Very cool!!!! I want to design my own boards like you did for this build. What software did you use for that?
You should try to make a PCB! Its fun! I use KiCAD for personal projects like this.
That is just awesome! Really a nice work!
Absolutely amazing project!!! Great job and game!
I want to do something similar to this with hardwood and tile but was told by the installer that from his experience the wood would soak up some of the moisture from the grout and would then crack. Do you know if this is true?
this is very cool
Yeah, I do not care either way, but I was curious what the comments were like from pinball enthusiasts. Would they be horrified that this original machine was so heavily modified? It seems overwhelming positive. I think it's cool as hell. I wish I had one. I bet these would sell like hotcakes if you had the resources to mass produce them. I would definitely buy one. What a work of art.
This is a thing of dreams. inspiring.
What did you polish the top with? ive done alot of sanding and then a overpour before but never sanded and polished to get the same look
The final polishing stages are done with the Novus 3 part system
This was incredible. Can't believe all those people bullied you about this project, well at least now they're the ones with the last laugh.
13:30 What's the title of this music?
Did I miss something? I truly like this table not only my jointer but, also for my miter saw. One problem though, I can't find the plans. The link in the description does not work... Please advise.
Hi and thanks for the heads up! The link is back up now.
Absolutely brilliant! 👏👏👏
Came into the video skeptical, thinking you were going to destroy a machine. Left it a subscriber who has never seen such an amazing display of skills and knowledge. Really inspiring.
It's a shame that with all of the effort and time that goes into assembling the nixie clock kits they don't really give you a substantial discount versus buying a pre-made one. I understand it's a hobby thing but it's hard for me to justify paying the same amount for an extremely complex kit rather than something that's already finished.
Built a few of these and just use sockets for the tubes. Perfect fit every time.
When I see projects like this, I always wonder if people take epoxy seriously enough, and when I saw that right, you were not wearing a respirator while pouring the epoxy. Especially when you pour significant amounts of epoxy, this stuff is toxic. During sanding, I saw one, but not during pouring. But enough complaints. The project itself is fantastic. It looks really cool.
Dee-cals. In the real world--the one with blue skies and a yellow sun.
ok, from someone that has repaired pinball games since about 1985. I have seen my fair share of table conversions. This is the best home conversion I have ever seen. keep it up.
I'd buy this pin if it were sale commercially. So would a lot of other people.
awesome project and great filming!
I don't have to tell you, but you did an amazing job. Any pinball enthusiast is lying if they say this isn't one of the coolest machines they have ever seen. Way to go!
Take my money
I was wondering... the pinball community was pretty active ten to fifteen years ago but it was mostly old dudes who wanted to reconnect to their youth. Ergo a lot of purists. Has anyone tried building their own pinball without all the electronics? Perhaps by using RasPi or arduino?
aw, the plunger launcher is one of the best things gives us lots of control would be cool if it was like computer pinball where the longer you press the button the harder the launcher shoots out
What an awesome project!! As a location player with no space for my own machine, this is very cool! ✌️😁
The graphics looked so good on the new black trim. Sexy even. Well done on that detail mate. Great video.
How big is your desk and how much epoxy did you use?
I played pinball through the 80's and this was an eye opener. Very well done sir.
Do you have any plans you can share for this?
Sorry, no plans for this project. I didn’t think it would have much demand and also it could be too specific for this desk frame.
Very impressive. But why didn’t you play it on the video? Turn off or dim the lights so we can see how it looks and hear the sound from the speakers?
What a cool idea, nice work buddy
Have I been pronouncing decals wrong this whole time? I’ve been saying De Cals 😂😂😂
Wow!!!
Wow, Fantasic great job
Incredible!!
