  • 8:03 it looks like a sleepy dog 17:37 the shade of blue is what makes that look so fantastic tho, it’s so freaking pretty, it feels weird how much you called it ugly it’s so aesthetically pleasing. I think instead of ugly it’s be easier to say “not my tastes” instead of stating it as if it’s objectively bad looking, cuz it’s not

  • Like you said in your last 'disaster' here that your customer service was so on point that she went ahead and ordered a 10k dining room table from you the next day . This is why customer service is a thing. Even with the mistakes and all that she felt so good about the way you handled it that she gave you more business and most likely spread the word about how damn good you are and how you treat your customers to her friends/family. That's how its done.

    • Not sure how to convey this without coming off as "attacking" your comment because that is not at all my intent- I would not use the word "Phenomenon" to describe this condition. Trypophobia, like any other trigger word that humans feel the need to ague about, is real to the individual. Most disorders are not congenital (Existing at birth)- They develop over time or from a traumatic event, with several different degrees of this condition to speak of. I have it. I am not completely disabled by it or even slightly disabled by it, but some people are. I can genuinely say that I did recognize having it as a.kid, well before it became the new thing to talk about. Again, apologies if this came off negatively. Honestly, you are not a complete naysayer to the idea and I appreciate you. The word Phenomenon implies "unexplainable" and though I am not someone who can flaunt letters behind their name on this particular subject, the condition is indeed explainable and is something that I have had to accept for the long-run.

      @AnythingIsInteresting@AnythingIsInteresting3 ай бұрын
    • Trypophobia, despite its name, isn't a "fear," per se. A percentage of people experience feelings of revulsion or disgust when they see patterns of densely packed holes. There isn't scientific consensus around a cause as yet, but because it often coincides with similar feelings regarding parasites and parasitic infection, one theory is that trypophobia as a response to patterns resembling those created by parasites evolved to help organisms avoid infection. That makes it similar to a fear of snakes or spiders, as well as being like the tendency for people's gag reflex to trigger when someone else throws up. So rather than a phobia or a disorder, it might be better to think of it as an automatic sympathetic response that doesn't have much of a job to do anymore in most of our daily lives.

  • SUGGESTION: I wanted to share this for glass flat polished epoxy finishes(High value), on denim or pours where epoxy depth or how the wood soaks it in varies. It's absolutely essential to heat treat it at 60C for an hour or a few if it's thick(like it's done in the car industry). Otherwise, you will polish it to a flat glass surface, but in time, epoxy will keep setting and developing microrelief and stop looking like a mirror finish from an angle where you catch a sheen. Let it set first, then heat treat it, then sand it flat, then polish it for good. In car panel fixing, the depths are very small, but if we do not properly heat all the levelling epoxy products before the last sanding and primer, we get a flat finish, but after heating the last coat of paint(clear), we get crater outlines of fixes. Sometimes it develops after some time under the sun... We use infrared heating reflector panels.

  • Trypophobia is definitely a real thing. I am 67 yo, so NOT a sorority girl and I experience trypophobia in varying degrees. The worst is nausea and vomiting from viewing dried lotus flowers, Bot fly infested skin and Suriname Toads. Other, somewhat lesser reactions are elicited by images of regulated dimples, holes, etc. It is a PIA because it can sneak up on you unexpectedly when suddenly confronted by objects and imagery with closely placed holes.

I show friends or coworkers, type the word in googleimages, and I just can't look or I'll be ''shocked''. I just look with my hand covered on my eyes that are fully squinted,,,just to see if it's the right image for them to see,,,,I make sure not to see it fully! hahah weird phobia!

    • i also have trypophobia and i think it comes from wasp hive or something similar because it makes us stay away from it and evolution has made it so that humans that have an instinct to get away from survive better or something like that.

  • Got to say I didn't hate any of them. The yellowed epoxy is a really good lesson! Have you found one that doesn't yellow or have you just avoided white since then? The revenue from KZhead certainly makes the ability to refund / replace a great customer care option. You have a really good business model and the fact that most of your pieces are in fact art, makes your products unique and desirable. Waiting for more!

Still striking! Thank you for sharing both builds you weren't all that happy with for whatever reason and how well they still paid you for all the time and effort of building them, filming the process, editing, etc. Great job!

  • Tryptaphobia absolutely is a real issue. I have a mild case of it. Your table doesn't bother me at all...but one time I looked at some pics of holes in human skin (hands and feet) and it legit f$#@'ed me up for a few weeks. Intrusive, unsettling thoughts about those images that took far too long to shake. So it's real. And it's not fun.

    • The argument against trypophobia isn't that clusters of holes don't make people feel uneasy, they do for me too. I hate it. But hating something that makes you feel uneasy isn't a true phobia. As with most mental disorders, phobias are characterized by whether or not they significantly and negatively affect your day to day life on a regular basis. When I was a kid I saw a photo of of burn victim and it fucked me up too. For years actually. That doesn't mean I have a phobia of burn victims.

  • I really don’t think tryptaphobia is a “real disorder“ but I do think that clusters of small holes reallyyyy unsettle most of us, because something in our lizard brains goes “something hatched from there. Many somethings” and that’s an overall uncomfortable thought to have, ESPECIALLY when it’s in relation to food 😅

    @nicoleg2544@nicoleg25446 ай бұрын
    • Agreed. I’m someone who’s made very uncomfortable by too many small, closely spaced holes (not scared of them, that would be ridiculous, just uncomfortable), but honestly I don’t see how that stump would cause anyone to cry “trypophobia”. It looks like a hammered metal texture, not small, insectoid holes

Nice to see how your humility, and owning the mistake ended up being much better for you than had you "whitewashed" it, or just not had any problems! Keep up the great work, and videos!

  • Trypophobia is like OCD. People have a single symptom and then claim to have it. Just because you like your room tidy doesn't mean you have OCD, that's a single tiny aspect of it. Same with trypophobia; feeling uneasy when seeing holes is normal (it's commonly associated with bugs and disease), but that doesn't mean you have a full-blown phobia.

  • I hate to admit now that the blue metallic river table is how I found your channel and is still one of my favorite pieces I have seen of yours. I came here looking at filling voids in wood with blue or turquoise epoxy as I am working on a classic truck with a wood bed floor and I want to use figured mesquite wood for the floor and rather than trying to scrounge up some 7' perfect pieces I think it would be awesome to match the tartan turquoise paint to some degree in some epoxy so I have been researching doing just that (probably a few years ahead of the project being completed).

  • I actually think the burnt wood table that you are giving away is my favourite of these projects. Although I love them all. Like you say just because you as the artist do not like the finished piece, everyone has their own taste. I have created sets of nails for clients that I really dislike, yet the while having them received many compliments and the client loved them. As artists we are our own worst critics. ❤😊
