Our Client Cried When We Delivered $120k of Furniture

Hey everyone it's Dylan from The Black Forest Wood 
Company this week we are going to be doing our   largest furniture delivery we have ever done over 
a hundred thousand dollars in furniture so we're   very very grateful to our clients for letting us 
create all this and i hope you guys enjoy it too   we we're speechless you know it's not too many 
times we're actually speechless after a delivery   but we will let the furniture do the speaking 
enjoy you guys one thing i want to mention too   before we get going into this is you guys will 
want to stick around to the end of the video   because we are going to announce a giveaway winner 
we had you guys guess how much this was worth so   stick around to the end and see if you ended 
up winning so we're about to do something that   we do not recommend you uh ever really do 
unless you have the proper cooling setup   we're gonna pour our resin at five and a half 
inches thick to cast this piece of maple burl   um no water cooling even on this table 
just an aluminum mold with a bunch of fans   using our black forest resin 
and hopefully, it works let's go well we probably should have listened 
to our own advice when we said that we   don't recommend doing a pour like this 
because it didn't go exactly how we planned   as you can see there is a lot of small air bubbles 
that are kind of coming up from underneath the   bottom of this so those would have come out when 
the resin heated up it would have got warm and   push those air bubbles out from the bottom you 
know it's not it kind of makes a cool effect but   it's definitely not what we were going for um so 
i don't expect our client to have to accept this   we may have to pour something else i am still 
going to show it to her and see maybe she will   like it because it does look kind of unique 
but didn't really go the way we thought it was wow so now that all of the carcass components 
of the cabinets are finished we can actually   go ahead and assemble them so they're all 
uh canadian ash that we put a black and   finish on and those stripes you see going 
down the edge those will get brass in them   we just want to put the cabinets together first so 
now that the cabinets are together we can actually   start uh finishing the doors so all of the doors 
are in maple burl with black forest deep resin   and we're actually applying our Black Forest 
Furniture Oil to these pieces here so we're gonna   do two coats on all surfaces of the doors and 
that's going to help to bring a lot of clarity   to that epoxy and one thing that we like to do 
when we're applying is actually use a mirka sander   just to help work that in so we'll 
apply a very small amount on the surface   and then we use the Mirka just to even 
everything out and get that nice sheen so   now that everything's finished we can go ahead and 
load the stuff up in the truck and just our luck   right as we're ready to leave for this delivery 
a cold snap hit so it's about between minus 20   and minus 30 so we actually had to get a special 
heated truck so that none of the components would   get too cold there is a chance that it would 
be okay even if they got cold but a drop in   temperature causes wood to shrink and it causes 
resin to shrink so we just wanted to be safe yeah because I think now we 
can set the other card on here them get one part inside the house yeah okay lift 
it up to that do you think we can just carry it   in pick it up yeah I think we can get enough 
bodies yours would uh it would clear the doors   right there okay yeah okay all 
right we'll get the other card is that your toe yeah ooh got my toe here you can slide it over   anywhere between the two cards it might 
be gone just to give us it's probably gone   i think we should have a 
two on the bottom at least   in the bottom okay it's a little bit 
nicer oh yeah you guys just lift high you're still pretty cool you should set it on your other toes 
even though my fingers are sliding out   yeah the foam's not not the best not super grippy loading the truck all back up and that's my job 
yeah you're being lazy i am being lazy i'm going   to keep everything organized we're here at 
our customer's residence out by kamloops and   finally, the day has come it is the 22nd of 
December we promised it before Christmas   and we've done it we just have to assemble 
everything now garbage man I'm the garbage man go garbage that's it I'm the 
garbage collector go garbage wow that's beautiful yeah probably the 
most beautiful desk i've seen yeah by far   the [ __ ] we make is amazing you guys we're 
getting first we're supposed to be because   dylan designs all this stuff i have nothing 
to do with the design he draws all this did   you design the legs on these? Yep that's cool 
he does all the drawings on SketchUp and then   we figure out how to build it so give him credit 
right yeah I don't have to know how to build it the credenzas go right here okay yeah yeah 
those are on wheels okay good let's keep   them on wheels we'll just have to clear out the 
credenzas yeah they go here okay let's get the   fossil cabinets in first then so the last 
thing we bring in is the two that are here   okay no i was trying to step over that oh my god okay are we on we are on let's go nice and slow wow mirror's still intact 
all right nice okay i'm gonna wipe right now then there you go all right give me a second as you can yeah we were just practicing 
these things for 140 bucks   that's crazy i know how did 
you use them they are really oh look at that all right should we start taking foam off 
yeah we could probably do that yeah come back a little bit okay go there we go okay so we'll maybe push this over to one side and 
bring the table aside put the carts right on   the end we'll roll this under and then it's only 
a couple millimeters away from the bottom of the   table so we can just put our inserts right in but 
then we'll have to lift the weight of the table   and the base yeah yeah just for a second it's 
going to be easier than maneuvering it it will   so we'll just have it six guys will have to just 
suspend it but one person pulls all the cards away   and we'll just drop her down yeah six guys yes 
well that's all we have it's easier than holding   the table while we try to line everything up 
yeah will daniel align the base underneath   it's just gonna line these squares with some big 
you'll see the big squares cut underneath there   okay so do you want to do a 
test lift and just see how long   or how bad it is to the end yeah okay you want 
to try it yeah let's just see these people here that might be easier no because it'll 
hit on the point yeah we can't have   that right it's all got to go down 
so it's going back that way okay there is that both or just one uh the other that's it man looks sweet oh how much does the 
table weigh it's probably about 1500 pounds   just for the top and then what do you guys think 
the x space is like 150 200 probably about two   yeah so you're you're almost one ton for the 
entire table so it was easy to lift this easy yeah not this but everything else just wanna 
make sure we have enough microfiber to   set up and we're happy with that was 
this a little bit more a little bit more   yeah you want to line it up perfectly 
in the cabinet yeah there you go   yeah, that's excellent was this the 
biggest one you guys did? this yeah yeah no way like we did we did do one that was 
bigger but it was um well we've done a couple   bigger but our biggest one was like 28 feet by 
eight feet but that was no resin that was just   solid wood yeah was that all in pieces four pieces 
yeah that was in four pieces like a really long   room right yeah it almost looked like a 
castle or something it was like a castle yeah   so jack's just putting our ceramic coating 
on the edge of this table right now   and you can see it makes a massive difference 
in the clarity of the epoxy so now that full   burled edge is going to be visible and 
it's nice with the ceramic too because   that wet look doesn't it doesn't go away 
after you wipe it off no it stays nice   just tip it pick it up kinda pick it up okay get to the corner here's the inserts it's like oh no that's not an option yeah we'll be figuring something else out here now i love it with the bubbles to be 
honest it reminds me of the ocean I showed my little brother look at that would you look at that oh might be some damage 29   yeah well we have let's see what time it is we got 
here at 9:00, it's 3:30 right now so we've spent   just about the whole day here and we're basically 
done so we're going to do the walkthrough that   our clients have been amazing 
by the way i have to say that   probably my favourite clients we've ever worked 
with so let's go see what we did for them   so first thing that we see when we walk in the 
front door are two maple burl credenzas they   have fresh ceramic so i can't open them 
right now but essentially we've got one   shelf going across the middle compartment and two 
shelves on either side and then all custom brass   detailing across the front with black and ash 
carcasses so that's the first thing you see then   if you look straight in front of you there's the 
console table now this is a pore that we we said   we were going thicker than we should have and it 
got a whole bunch of bubbles because it cured too   fast but it actually ended up looking really cool 
and our client loves it too she loves the bubbles   so that's that's why those are in there but they 
they really kind of do provide this neat effect   that we also probably could not replicate 
because we would risk just cracking it   instead of making these bubbles so this is very 
unique this piece i love the brass too yeah then right next to the console table in front 
of the couch is a coffee table again everything   here besides one piece is done in maple burl 
all from the same tree matching legs of course   deep blue-black forest resin without metallic 
so this is just done with liquid dyes and it   just ties into the maple so perfectly and then 
this we didn't do this but i have to show our   client collects fossils they're absolutely 
stunning some really one-of-a-kind pieces in here   and a lot of it's from Alberta too which is quite 
quite neat now into the dining room here is our   14 foot by 5 foot maple burl table again the most 
resin we've ever used for a single pour and we did   14 custom chairs to match this so these are also 
all in black and ash and then we've got Italian   euro soft leathers on the seats and in in the 
shop, it's funny we were kind of unsure about the   color but once you see them in here it just really 
ties everything together and if you peek through   the chairs we've got our largest x-base that we've 
ever done with the brass dowel for support and   some extra bracing on the bottom too because this 
table is about 1500 pounds so we had to we had to   put more bracing in than we usually have to make 
this work and then down at the end its king John here's the cabinet so again maple burl   blue-black forest resin brass detailing black and 
ash carcass is absolutely incredible John killed it   on this piece, he did so so good and then Jack 
2 with all the finishing absolutely incredible   okay and then this piece is it's got a cool story 
so our client she actually had her daughter help   her pick out a lot of the details in this uh and 
because her daughter was so helpful she actually   surprised her with this desk for herself so this 
is going to be her daughter's study desk again   black and ash these are all just drawers 
with the soft close hinges on them   one detail I'll point out too is we've actually 
got dovetail joinery all on this outside edge here   hard to see with the ash but that's all dovetailed 
and just just a nice little detail and then we've   also got our dovetails in the cabinets we've got 
this bar that kind of helps give it that floating   look and this one is a little different 
this is white oak with turquoise resin   but it's upstairs and away from everything so 
it just looks really good in this space well   that delivery went absolutely awesome and if you 
guys have been following along for this furniture   package on our channel you remember that back in 
november we posted a video called 25 000 maple   burl dining table and we actually gave you guys 
the opportunity to win a custom piece of a wall   art with an off cut from this package all you guys 
had to do was guess the exact price of the package   and it actually was an even number so someone 
did get it exactly bang on uh it was a hundred   and twenty thousand dollars and ilarian parmet

cry because she was so just happy and in awe of   everything we obviously didn't want to film that 
and invade their privacy but she had to step away   a few times because it was just so overwhelming 
all this beautiful furniture so that's   very very humbling for us you know we've we've 
only ever had that happen a couple times before   but it just it really makes it all worth it makes
