In this video, we take an epoxy river top that was destined to be a dining table and convert it into a bar. We take you through our whole process of creating a base strong enough to support an epoxy river top, as well as the techniques and finishes used. As a bonus, Cousin Eddy is back in the shop and we get to play with fire!
