The video features a maker who builds a large river table conference table for the entrepreneurial center at Westminster College. They start with walnut slabs donated by the university and use an expensive flattening jig to flatten them out. The maker then designs and builds a metal frame for the table, using C-channel to make it look like I-beams. They powder coat the frame and mix and pour epoxy to create the river effect. After letting the epoxy sit for four days, they unmold and sand it down, then prep it for finishing. With help from neighbors, they use a CNC machine to flatten the table's surface and add a chamfer to soften the edges. After a series of setbacks, including a fan overheating in the neighbor's spray booth, they finally finish the table and move it to its new home. The maker thanks their sponsors, Westminster College, and the lumber donor, and invites viewers to check out the links to their products and sponsors.
