These last 2 months have been a struggle to get out a consistent amount of content. But with that, we've still be working. I have a monster 20' conference table on the bench, that is eating up a ton of my time. With the comments I have been getting on IG, I wanted to bring some more valuable content to all of yinz with some tips and insights on how to make better LIVE EDGE Furniture!
I have made a lot of Live Edge tables and shelves, and made a lot of money doing so. As i start my own "saw mill" i thought it would help to share some of my experience!

    Great video, thanks for the tips! I’m about to embark on my first live edge slab project for an A/V built-in unit, and have anxiety of not wanting to screw it up. Your videos are helping ease my concerns by showing the right ways and answering my questions. Yinz’re doin great work, keep sharing your knowledge!
  • @tha3immortals
    This might be the most informative video I’ve seen on woodworking. Cheers dude
  • @cvh627
    awesome video especially the sanding tips, i struggle with swirl marks and have looked through many different sanding videos and nothing i found did as good of a job explaining steps to avoid and correct them as this did and that was just 1 of the 5 tips.
  • @kurtmann654

    Looking to get a live edge table for our dining room. You’re videos are very informative. Thank you !
  • @DocGoose1980
    Just started working with live edge doing a cabinet out of 3/4” ply with shaker door and live edge bar top made of cedar filled with clear epoxy and live edge shelves above. So looking forward to seeing the finished product!
  • Ahhh, the Maker Ranch epoxy table, that was a great one! Good itps
  • @shannonp4037
    Nice job with ad placement. They came right between each tip and didn't interrupt each segment like most channels.
  • Great video John. I know some people are getting tired of the live edge style, but I love it. It can be used for so many different styles. You always seem to nail the projects! Love those steel bowties as well.
  • @JkCanvas
    Amazing tips and tricks. I was just talking with SWMBO about doing a live edge counter top or table. Now I know the 5 Tips for Better Live Edge Slabs.

  • @bentsprockettech
    Thank you for going into detail on the moisture situation. A lot of people skip talking about that, and as we all know..... moisture in the wrong places can be a problem. Thanks for sharing this with us. :)

  • @tombaker3794
    The C channel tip is the best new (to me) woodworking procedure I've seen in a couple of years, could have used that multiple times prior. Thanks.
