Latest Epoxy Effort - A Puzzle "In" The Table

In Images I Share

One table leads to another - both the gaming tables are puzzles - but only one of them has a puzzle literally within - covered in epoxy - and memorialized as an “idea” - it beckon.

I ain’t kidding around.

So this was the “job” I had to do - and I done it. I put the puzzle in the table - and that is that.

Now - time to go to bed.

For a short time only - a “trip” back in time shows up here now - I could put this in epoxy if need be - and maybe I will!

This is the puzzle that is now submersed in hardened epoxy. One more coat to go.

Here are a few more images I share about the process. It really was quite simple - only because I’ve been doing this sort of work for awhile now and have learned many lessons the “hard way”.

~~~~~

This is how I “imagined” it before any epoxy was poured:

~~~~~

The wood is from a Southern Red Oak we had to take down in March of 2025. It was sad we had to cut the tree was cut down, but I had a fella come over with a Mobile Sawmill and he milled the thicker pieces into useful lumber.

The white “mold” is what makes the job so much easier compared to what I tried to do in the past.

~~~~~

So basically I just needed to cut the “1 x 4” pieces to size (48 inches each), then sand it, then wipe it clean. Careful selection of the wood pieces is necessary to minimize gaps.

~~~~~

So there you have it - basically from beginning to end and done in one day. The puzzle solved is now in epoxy - one final coat to go tomorrow and then when it “cures” fully I’ll remove it from the mold (mold release was used) and then attach the legs. Then that is that. It will be the 2nd Gaming Table I’ve made and will stay here in our place in Fries, VA.

I plan on making more of these sort of tables. Let me know if you want one.

In closing here is some music:

Let me know if you can read this - I’m curious!

I’ll make it easier - cause I want to:

I love it!

Have a wonderful day I say in return!

OK - lets discuss imaginary numbers shall we? They are a construct you must know - an imaginary construct created to describe some “things” we hardly understand - cause they are imaginary.

But what if I said to you - I don’t think we need this imaginary explanation? I mean I literally think there is a physical explanation for it - it is hardly imaginary - but it does demand one is able to think outside the box of their mind!

All minds are biased - but if you can get outside of your mind so to speak - in an unbiased manner - them glory be - the future will be better!

So I think “imaginary numbers” are like an imprecise tool, but they “speak” to another way of thinking - that really ain’t imaginary - it is just our minds that can connect together if need be I reckon.

If you would like I can put this video in the table for you - and then you can play it whenever you want!

Not kidding around - but the battery might need to be replaced after watching the video a few too many times!
