Epoxy Waterfall River Table

在这种指示中，我会告诉你我如何拿一块注定的木材，注定腐烂或被烧毁，并制作一个环氧瀑布河坡。这是我第一次使用环氧树脂和我的第一次焊接，所以我有很多乐趣。希望你喜欢这个项目！

The heart of this project is this old nasty slab of wood. I saw it at a friend of the families and it was just sitting there literally rotting away. The guy had planned to do something with it but never have and was talking about just burning it. I told him I thought I could do something cool with it and got it from him. It took me a couple years to figure out what to do with it, but I finally figured it out! The slab had some nice curves to it. So to find the best cut line to split it in half, I used a string and centered it on each end of the slab.

I clamped a straight edge to the live edge slab and split it down my cut line to form two halves.

我用Jointer和刨床饰了一块板条，让他们平坦，准备下一个步骤。

板坯太厚了，很长一段时间，所以我将它们切割成我在斜切锯上所需的尺寸。

最终预备步骤是用5分钟的环氧树脂填充板坯边缘中的任何裂缝，然后砂并清理活边缘以进行环氧树脂浇注。

I used ¾” MDF for the form but plywood or melamine can also be used here. To keep the resin from sticking to the form I covered the pieces in a special tape.

我将侧面拧到外形底座上，然后用更多的胶带密封形状的内角。如果我再次这样做，我可能会在角落里使用硅胶，因为胶带花了很长时间才能获得正确的。

我把板条放在表单中，向下夹紧，然后将其拧到从下面的形式。如果你不想要在下面的漏洞，你也可以夹住它们。

我也热粘一些小缺口的slabs to keep the epoxy out. The last thing I did to prep the form was to level it so the epoxy would flow out.

为了获得我所需的环氧树脂的量，我能够在4至8个“段之间的平板之间的间隙，并将平均间隙乘以该段的长度。我添加了所有这些数字并乘以板坯的高度，以获得间隙的总体积。

I used an epoxy with a 2 to 1 resin to hardener mix. I used a two-color pour so I measured out 1.5L of the 2 to 1 mix in one container and 1L in the other.

我向环氧树脂添加了一些金属颜料并搅拌每个混合物几分钟。

I poured the epoxy from both ends at the same time. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this, but it worked for me. When the colors mixed together and it turned out amazing.

我使用1“方形管的简单金属底座。

I tacked and welded it together in a C shape with an open end for a floating appearance.

我用磨床和翻盖盘将底座上的焊缝接地。然后我在底座上钻出安装孔，涂上它，并喷洒在一些哑光黑色涂料和哑光透明外套上。

After the 72 hour cure time was complete I unscrewed and removed the sides from the form then removed the slab from the form.

I used my 13” planer to the level wood with the epoxy and remove excess from the bottom. You could also use a belt sander for this step on a larger piece.

在刨了几个空隙后出现，我用5分钟的环氧树脂填充了一些添加的蓝色颜料，添加到混合中。我在我的桌子上平方锯，然后在板上开始最终准备。

I sanded the wood up to 180 grit and took the epoxy up to 400 grit. I’d probably do this after the glue up next time though.

I used my table saw and a crosscut sled and tilted the blade to 45 degrees for the initial bevel on the larger vertical piece.

然后我用匹配的斜线将较小的顶部碎片翻转并背面倾斜。

I moved the blade back to 90 degrees and cut the larger piece to exact size for the base.

为了粘上斜线，我带着朝下的麻管机排列了碎片，并将一块包装带放在接缝上。

我将顶部翻过来并使用5分钟的环氧树脂进行这种连接，并将其自由地施加到关节的一侧然后折叠斜切并用直角方块夹紧。

我将基于油的底部涂抹在板坯中，樱桃和环氧树脂真的来到了生活。

I buffed the oil off the surface and was ready for the base.

I mounted the base upside down and shimmed the wood as necessary to fit the base. I left the top of the base open in the back so at no is the metal crossing under the epoxy and obscuring the light passing through.

这个项目真的挑战了我尝试新事物。与金属和环氧树脂等新材料一起使用很有趣，我期待将它们纳入更多的项目。
