This episode shows how to make a DIY Star Wars-inspired coffee table from concrete, wood, epoxy resin, and LED strips. Check out Wagner Meters: http://bit.ly/329zNol I combined Death Star style lighting with GFRC concrete, woodworking, and epoxy resin that is backlit with LEDs to make this Star Wars inspired coffee table. My goal was to design a DIY concrete and epoxy coffee table that every Star Wars fan would recognize as being inspired by Star Wars, but that non-Star Wars fans would just see as a cool table design. I used my X-Carve CNC to carve foam knockouts for the melamine concrete form, then poured GFRC concrete over the foam. I removed the foam and poured epoxy resin in the gaps, which will diffuse the LED strips. I then used some woodworking techniques to make the leg and lower half of the coffee table from maple lumber. I also 3d printed clips that hold the LED strips in place under the epoxy resin. // PATREON - thank you in advance for your support! / modustrialmaker // FOLLOW ME \\ • Instagram: @modustrialmaker - https://goo.gl/F4UdEs • Blog: https://www.modustrialmaker.com // WAGNER MOISTURE METERS \\ • Orion 950 comparison: http://bit.ly/329zNol // ROCKLER PRODUCTS \\ • XL Glue Mat: http://bit.ly/2uY3GvB • Glue Roller / Applicator Kit: http://bit.ly/2wlqh5F • Thin-rip Table Saw Jig: http://bit.ly/2wtFZMg • T-Track Clamps: http://bit.ly/2oOjcH5 • T-Track: http://bit.ly/2Ilk2Ca • Bench Cookies: http://bit.ly/2LJzkCL • Pro Lift Router Table Insert: http://bit.ly/328IiAg • Cast Iron Router Table: http://bit.ly/31OkcsN • Router Table Pro Fence: http://bit.ly/2SQSKrK • Router Table Stand: http://bit.ly/2SWKg2f // INVENTABLES CNC \\ • Sign up for FREE EASEL account: http://bit.ly/2X1SDtn • Inventables X-Carve CNC: http://bit.ly/2J9u1df // EPOXY LINKS \\ GET 15% OFF TOTAL BOAT EPOXY with the CODE: “MODUSTRIAL” when purchased through http://www.jamestowndistributors.com • High Performance 2:1 Epoxy Resin: http://bit.ly/2uW7m11 • Mixol Pigments: http://bit.ly/2UYpXEm • Torch: https://amzn.to/2XEp2ug // LED LINKS \\ o LED Music Controller option #1 (sp108e Bluetooth): https://amzn.to/2T41YRy o LED Music Controller option #2 (sp106e RF remote): https://amzn.to/2STfZmo o addressable LED strip: https://amzn.to/2v0EGnO o 18650 Li-ion Batteries: https://amzn.to/2PkOy2B o Battery Holder: https://amzn.to/37SRTMP o Step-down converter: https://amzn.to/3c66Nme // CONCRETE LINKS \\ • High Performance Concrete Recipes: http://bit.ly/2srpxtI • HP50 concrete mix: http://bit.ly/2YL4MFA • Acrylic Polymer: http://bit.ly/2SRQQHk • Alkali Resistant (AR) glass fibers: https://amzn.to/31y6kEe • Cake Fondant Tool for perfect edges: http://amzn.to/2w0JCVx • Helical Mixing Paddle: https://amzn.to/2GFyxjF • Concrete mixer: http://amzn.to/2kEnZFi • Concrete pigments: http://bit.ly/2GxzWrf • 1-part concrete sealer: http://amzn.to/2xW7Gth • Black 100% Silicone Caulk: http://amzn.to/2B64iRY • Paste Finishing Wax: http://amzn.to/2kF565e • “From Scratch” GFRC Recipes: https://goo.gl/35RvFM Thanks to Wagner Meters, Rockler Woodworking, Inventables, Total Boat, and Fishstone Concrete, for supporting the channel and making this build possible. #starwars #diy #concrete #woodworking #coffeetable
