I’m making a dining table from ash logs and epoxy resin, and I flatten it with a homemade flattening jig. I’m also using the Shaper Origin for inlays and the Domino XL for joinery on the tablebase. I couldn't have done all the resawing without my Laguna 18BX bandsaw.
The table is for sale here:

Jespers notes about the video:
All the wood in this build is sourced 100 meters from my workshop, where about 50 ash trees have been dead for more than 10 years due to a flood. I’m talking about a customer that requested the table, and this is true. I had consistent contact with them during the build. It’s also true that the circumstances I mention in the video prevented them from paying for the table - they were especially hard hitten by the energy crisis - and so am I. It’s a real thing for all households in Europe. I didn’t want to pursue them for breaking our deal and they are really sorry about the situation - I’m sure they will be back another time when all this is over, and my thoughts are with all the brave people of Ukraine.
I’m very fortunate to have a lot of friends in the maker world. Some of them are participating in this video, and they are not being mean to me. Everything they say has been written by me for entertaining purposes. I started out making everything from pallet wood, and I love building from pallet wood. There is a pallet wood community out there, but we are NOT hunting each other down for not using pallet wood, but we do encourage each other to use reclaimed wood. I dramatized the bit with Mark Dainer, who is a very close friend, to make a funny statement about the pallet wood community and build up to a surprising end of the video. And my next video is a pallet wood build…
I have been able to get a good amount of tools in my shop over the last year. I’m not a full time woodworker, and because I also have another job that supports my cost of living, I’m able to put everything I make from the woodworking back as investments in tools in my shop. It has been all hard work, but you’re welcome to make a comment about how fortunate I am to have a shop full of woodworking tools that magically have appeared overnight. But just know that I take care of a dayjob, work in the workshop in the evenings and edit videos for Youtube many nights.

I'm not affililated with any of the toolbrands I'm using in this video. Nobody paid me so say anything. However, I do like to support other creators, and often buy their merch.
I do owe thanks to a lot of creators, I will try my best to feature you somehow in future videos. The way I like to feature other creators is by making some sort of cameo that's relevant for the video I'm making, so I'm sorry if you send me your sticker hoping to get a shout-out. It could be a while before the right opportunity shows up for me.
Thank you all creators and people watching and commenting on my videos. I read all comments and will answer all. I learn a lot from the comments and will do my best to mention who gave me the good advice in future videos. Thank you.
