From the video

Answers: How do you build and install an 18-foot live edge walnut conference table?

• live edge walnut slab preparation
• epoxy filling for wood cracks
• modifying metal table bases
• installing pop-up electrical outlets in wood
• transporting large conference tables
• installing a conference table on-site

What it concludes

• Working with large slabs like an 18-foot table exponentially increases the difficulty of every process compared to smaller builds.
• Using a slower-curing epoxy with thin pours allows the epoxy to settle into cracks properly and cure before thicker pours.
• Modifying metal table bases to accommodate electrical outlets requires careful planning and precision work to avoid structural issues.
• Shipping large furniture pieces separately requires specialized logistics and careful coordination with freight companies.
• Hand-drilling electrical outlet holes into finished wood surfaces requires precision to avoid ruining the final product.
