5 Tips for a Better Finish on Your Next Project

So I decided I’d change up the format on my latest YouTube video. Normally I like to have them center around projects, but for this one, I completely threw that format out the window and focused solely on delivering tips about how to improve you’re finishes. Check it out and let me know what you think!

Mosaic Cutting Board Build

I realized I did a post announcing the launch of my YouTube Channel, but I completely forgot to do a post letting you guys know what my first video was all about! Apologies!

I wanted to do a relatively simple project for my first build was I was still getting the hang of the whole filming and talking to the camera thing. I finally decided on using up some of the scrap wood in my shop to create mosaic cutting board.

Pixelated Live Edge Coffee Table

My First YouTube Video and The Launch of My Channel

So I know I haven’t been very active on this blog for a while. For that I apologize. Between all the things I’ve been doing lately their just hasn’t been the time. That’s all about to change for two reasons though.

Walnut, Ash, and Epoxy Wall Clock

With a clock strapped to my wrist, in my pocket (cellphone) and on basically every other piece of electronics I own, the last thing I really needed was a wall clock. If I’m honest, it really wasn’t about adding another visual reminder of the slow, steady, ever-persistent, march of time. No, no, the point of this project was to practice working with epoxy so that I can integrate it into future projects. And boy, good thing I did a practice run, because I learned more than a few things with this project. Catastrophic failure is a hell of a teacher, so long as you don’t let it deter you from trying again.

Scroll along with me, I’ll show you how I made the clock and hopefully impart a little bit of knowledge that I learned along the way.

But first, we’ve got to handle a little bit of dirty clerical work. Do you like DIY projects? Do you like woodworking projects? Do you like photos of said projects?! Well then, look no further friend, my Instagram page is what you’re looking for. You can find it at @zacbuilds (direct link: https://www.instagram.com/zacbuilds/) I post all of my projects there, along with any tidbits and morsels of information that I glean along the way. Hopefully helping others to avoid making any of the same mistakes I’ve made. So please check it out, and if you like what you see, consider dropping a follow 🙂
