Denim, We Love Your Videos You Inspire So Many People. Nobody Dose Tables Better Than You!!!
Not sure you can be trusted after the damascus mishap.
Denim definetly. now only to make denim chairs to match this table
you have the best table tops man, I watch every episode.BUT PLEASE UP THE LEG GAME. The leather wrapped legs on the first denim table where the best by far don't you think? i know it was your boy shahin who made them but that table top deserves the best. Imagine if your leg game was as good as your table top game. SPEND THE TIME, YOUR WORK IS INCREDIBLE.
DENIM! DEFINITELY DENIM! ❤
Denim! As a textile artist with a bonafide degree in textiles I thought I’d pop on here and explain why the denim feels fuzzy after planing it. Even though it’s saturated in epoxy the long staple cotton fibers that make up the denim have been twisted into a very strong yarn. On a molecular level the cell walls of cotton are arranged in a helix around the central axis of a very long cylindrical cell. Then each fiber is made up of 20 to 30 layers of cellulose twisted by nature into a perfectly coiled pattern. Then these fibers are combed and twisted together in a factory to make single ply yarn. Then several single ply yarns are twisted together to make the cotton yarn that is then woven into the twill weave we call denim. So imagine a large rope that is made up of many ply that is coiled to nest perfectly and intricately together and those coiled ply nest perfectly together to make many multi ply ropes whose coils nest perfectly together, and so on. When you cut through this rope it’s going to fray and unravel leaving you with a bunch of kinky springy frizzy coils, much like a shag carpet. This is what denim does on a microscopic level. The blades of a planer are not sharp enough to cut the cotton yarns cleanly plus they are only cutting from one direction. The yarns are not being cut at all instead are being compressed, pushed along, flattened and eventually torn apart with each pass. So you are left with a surface that feels like very short velvet. You may have noticed that the denim felt softer when you run your hand in the same direction as the planer blade was spinning. And this my dear friends is why all your sewing friends yell at you if you use their fabric scissors. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk 😊
Denim - it'd be cool to make a kinda topographic map of a region in this technique. You could also consider different thickness of ply formers
The explanation I didn't know I needed. I don't know that I'll ever factor this in because I'm uncertain I'll ever build (is that the right word) a denim table. But the explanation gave me a really vivid mental image of what you addressed and how the whole process progressed. Really nice!
@120Livi maybe a topographical map of the city of Damascus? 😂
It's what makes denim micarta so grippy!
My mom would lose her mind when she caught me cutting paper with her sewing scissors. Don't get me started about pinking shears! And now I want to look at my jeans under a microscope. Thank you!
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1175">19:35</a> "wtf did you make now" The perfect summary of your channel, but for some reason its one of the best things that have ever happened to the internet. Keep it up Cam!
That cracked me up big time and the end of the video when he said something about a detail looking like breasts but to me it rather looks like Cookie Monster peeking out with his weird eyes XD I would buy this table solely for that detail and troll people "find the cookie monster in this table pattern" LMAO
My husband explained Damascus knives to me and was highly annoyed when I said “oh so a metal croissant?”
Mille feuilles du metaille
Never thought I’d see someone build a Damascus Jable in my lifetime
I'm going to make a denim table now and claim the title.
(' - ')7
Hi Jerry :)
That's a smart idea
which one of you is 47
@@me.unpredictable280 i see what you did there 😂
Cam, your channel is more of a 'learn from me what not to do'. Honestly, I enjoy the time and effort you put into your projects. I'll never be able to afford anything you create, but it doesn't stop me from enjoying the process
So entertaining! I watched the whole thing. Love seeing how much time and effort someone can put into such a bad idea.
Lol
Because this channel is about learning how to love what you're doing (or do what you love)
Indeed today I learned *40 things* that I shouldn't do, in just the first three minutes of the video!
I watched this video on mute while listening to music and doing chores, so did not hear any of the commentary. What is there "not to do"? The table looks really great. Its something I could definitely buy and put in my house, alas I cannot afford hand made stuff (and I don't live in the US anyway).
I've just recently discovered this channel and, as someone who couldn't fabricate a 2 x 4 into, well, a 2 x 4, I'm absolutely fascinated. I love how you present these videos, and your sense of humour is absolutely brilliant...great entertainment!
DENIM!!!!!!!!!! You are nuts. Artist cannot be any other way. Continue, please.
I never thought I'd be watching a 30 minute video about a guy building a table while talking to his friend/cameraman/director, and actually enjoy myself. I'm not a woodworker, nor I have plans on becoming one, I just love watching professionals (at least from my POV they are), do what they do best. Thank you for being my woodtentainer
Honestly, to me, the difference between amateur and professional is: professionals get paid. (Skill and quality has nothing to do with it😅)
Ice: I am exactly the same 😊
I have watched him for a year now and he never disappoints.
Woodtentainer!! Tabletainment! Woodutation!
Denim.... a chair? Make a chair to go with the table. Thanks for the video! Have a great weekend!
Yeah! And use vacuum bags and moulds to shape it! ...
Double denim.
Can we have the chair made from Plaid lumber jack shirts, please?
Would the table and chair set then be called a “Canadian Tuxedo” combo?
Yeah! A chair that would be done like the previous table (without the Damascus effect) and the but scoop would be carved out (now we would get the Damascus effect) and left without the finish so when you would sit down butt naked it would feel like you're wearing the chair!:D
One of the major wins in being an entertainer and not a how-tober: you inspire people to follow their joy 😊
Despite your warning and threat of banishment I must point out that the metalworking technique that your table most resembles is NOT Damascus but the Japanese practice of Mokume - game which uses dissimilar metal sheets heated and hammered together and then sanded to reveal a woodgrain pattern. Have a nice day😊
For anyone wondering, the reason it wouldn't actually be considered Damascus, is because it wasnt actually made in the city of Damascus.
(insert comment from a nerd saying you said “8n” instead of “in” here) edit: he fixed it btw
But what if it came from the Damascus region of France?
It's not folded and Damascus is often misleading on that subject. Very few people know what real Damascus steel is.
@@CausingChaos. Thanks lol
It's steel from a specific mine in Damascus I'm pretty sure, not just made there
I love watching your wood working, but its your humor & subtle sarcasm that brings me back. 😂
I’ll stop woodworking before I stop the sarcasm
"Master of woodworking, bringing humor and artistry together! Your creations are awe-inspiring, leaving me in stitches and in awe. The intricate designs make me salivate and admire your craftsmanship. Your signature carvings on table bases truly define your unique style. Keep up the amazing work!"
Denim- As an artist, (glass is my medium) I am completely in love with this. I think this might be one of the coolest things you've done. From making something completely new to everyone (ground breaking). To making something that also looks incredible. You not only made something new, but truly embodied what the meaning of "art" is. You knocked this one out of the park. Kudos, and bravo. I hope to see more crazy/off the wall ideas come to life, on your channel. THIS is why you're the best wood worker on tiktok. No trends to follow, no "i made this tiktok wood trend", nah. You had a vision, and executed it. I truly wish I didn't have so much going on in life. I would love to have one of these.
Didn't know what to expect clicking on "Denim Damascus" but I don't see how people DON'T make it to the end of all your videos. It's like I'm in a trance watching these, absolutely insane every time! Thanks for the hours of entertainment! You've inspired me to grab an old wooden office desk off Facebook marketplace I've been eyeing for weeks and see if I can restore it. Wish me luck!
Good luck! That's going to turn out awesome! My mother-in-law and her brother both each did their own furniture restoration. It's amazing!
I absolutely loved your IKEA “rant” about the screws at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="822">13:42</a>! So excited to see more denim projects in the future!
More of those please!
I was shocked. I heard he actually say a bad work😅😅 I had to bring it back 😂😂
“Annoying fucking little screws” got me 😂
Denim “Damascus” table is absolutely gorgeous. I’m all about denim and decorate with denim and red bandana. Thank you for creating this fascinating video. I enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed the original denim and leather legged table project. Please keep the denim projects coming. Very interesting indeed. TY
I really enjoyed your presentation of the denim table and you are right the straight grain oak is a sweet complement to the denim top!
I love the fact that you do not know where you are going. You are experimenting, failing, experimenting more, trying stuff.... the process is so nice. So much woodworker on youtube seams to do perfect stuff first try. I love that you do not even know that what you are doing is right or wrong
Denim, Wood... at this point, you've got the Midas touch. Love to sit back and watch you work .(My grandfather who passed used to be a carpenter) It's great to see a master at his craft.
Oh thanks so much
Denim
Denim Damascus Table top is Gorgeous. I love the colors and the design. Thank you for your skills, all your hard work, the lessons from your mistakes, and all your beautiful projects. You and your family/friends are truly blessed. Shine On, you all do it so well. Happy Up.
Denim PLEASE! Absolutely GORGEOUS!
Denim! There’s actually a term for this type of fabric-epoxy composite! It’s called micarta, and it’s an awesome material. In a lot of contexts it’s actually valued for that ‘fuzzy’ texture you noticed. It’s often used in knife handles, because it gives an additional ‘grip’ to the handle as opposed to other materials.
I was thinking of escrima, layers of lacquered paper. Maybe that could be the next project.
I've been making my own micartas for a while now, and I make rings out of them! It's such a cool, unique-looking material
Beat me to it, but, EXACTLY!!!!!!
I think he knows but calling it denim is just more clickable because not everyone is gonna know what micarta is
Nobody likes you so please don't bother coming to the softball team tryouts.
Hi Cam! Composite tech/engineer here! I loved the look of the table and love seeing you expand your skillset working with new meterials! Cant wait to see what you do with carbon fiber one of these days! So a couple things that would help greatly help with the layup, there is a HUGE difference between peel ply, and release film. Peel ply is intended to be directly on the wet fabric and is intended to be peeled of leaving a somewhat textured/matte but leveled surface free of resin wrinkles. HOWEVER! Perforated release film (for pre-impregnated fabrics use non perforated film) is supposed to go on top of the peel ply so it doesnt bond to your breather which is why you had a difficult time peeling it off. Release film peels exactly how Saran wrap would like you were talking about In addition, you end up losing a lot of resin in the process and can resin starve your part which could have also contributed to the fibers doing weird things. When doing your next table/project, the ideal ratio is 60/40 weight fabric to resin, that should help guessing how much resin to use without wasting as much. I also use a bondo scrapper because i found it easier to saturate the fabric easier. Lastly, for a wet layup, you dont need to have a catch bin because ideally you have the necessary amount of resin within your bag and any excess resin will get soaked into the breather through the perforated release film. Thank for listening to my Ted Talk and cant wait to see the future projects!
As someone who fabricates luminaires/lamps from driftwood and other mateeials I collect on the Namibian coast , I love the denm tables. I am also pleased to see that you take the same meticulous pride in yourwork and are humble enough to critique your own work. Look forard to watching more. I just wish I could get half the tools you have into my own workshop
I love Wrangler. I also enjoy your videos and sharp whit. I've watched a lot of videos from different bloggers. I'm still surprised to hear that people feel the need to judge, correct, or criticize. I believe we are all Teachers/ Students.as we interchange these roles in our daily lives.. Thank you for what you do and in my humble opinion do a pretty nice job. . .
Denim! I can't imagine why the entire world isn't subscribed to this channel. I'm just a regular old gal but I can't get enough of watching you do your thing in whichever medium you choose. Keep on keepin' on, Cam.
Interestingly enough the knifemaking community uses similar materials, the name brand is "Micarta", and the homebrew versions are basically exactly what you've done here, a natural fiber-based fabric (or paper) and stabilizing resin compressed and saturated. It's a preferred material for knife handles for some people specifically because the outer layer stays "fuzzy" if un-finished, it helps maintain grip when being used in damp/sweaty conditions. There are some absolutely crazy patterns that people have come up with, one of my favorites was always a high contrast twist, which almost looks like wood grain at the end. The paper versions can get absolutely insane with people using cri-cuts to add custom inclusions (like what you did with the wood deformation mold pieces), embedding finely shredded "confetti" style paper and other nutty methods. It's all really neat and opens a crazy level of customization, but as you mentioned in the video you're probably one of the first to have taken it to such an extreme as doing whole tables. Can't wait to see what you come up with next!
Thanks, I wanted to say this as well, but didn't want to be the only one thinking this. Calling it denim Damascus seems weird, there's already a name for it...
@@jeremywest5433 I mean, if you've never seen micarta and were only exposed to forging shenanigans I could see how you'd end up calling it fabric "damascus" or "mokume"
Prototyping also uses a similar canvas version called Tuffnel. Its really handy for jigs
Do continue with the denim, it is so unique and versatile. And all those things that you named you didn’t like about the end look - I think they are perfectly imperfect. Amazing job. Thank you. 😊
Denim.... I'm a big fan of bright colors and or patterns, so this is right up my alley. I love it, nice job!
Idk if im just weird but i actually like it when people tell me that im wrong and actually correct me because i actually enjoy learning these things.
Same. I understand disliking when people get holier-than-thou about things, but I feel like the "nobody likes you and everyone hopes bad things happen to you," repeated ad nauseam was super excessive and mean-spirited. If this is how he responds to being corrected on something as minor as the fact that the colloquialism he used is genuinely incorrect in the world of metalworking, I don't even want to know how he responds to more intense criticism.
That seems to assume it's something that he needs to learn. and isn't just using the term colloquially.
I just find his way of putting things kinda harsh if you ask me... people just want to share knowledge. No one insulted your mother xD
@@aasl6154 I agree 100%. If you get THIS defensive about something "technically" correcting you, the problem and insecurities are on your end. (Assuming the person who corrected you did it respectfully, ofc)
@@ybeyybey3562 Too many times the person doing the "correcting" don't know what the hell they are talking about. They just like to jump in and comment.
Denim- I think this table top looks great! I’m a map nerd and it really reminds me of a topographic map. If you do another one of these you could plan/shape/position your wood molds so you make a topographical map of your favorite area!
Maybe something out of kahki with a couple different shades of tan/brown. Maybe some more traditional cotton layers in a black to look like topolines
Rad idea! 🤔🤔🤔
I thought about that, but getting the scale right would be so hard when planing it
@@BlacktailStudio possibly using a CNC machine you could do it in blocks and line them all up. @NorCalCruiser I also had the same idea but with perlin noise, which is a mathematical function to generate 3D waveforms.
@@BlacktailStudiocould you 3D print the molds since they will be encased in the denim/resin material?
"Live edge denim" was so hilarious and outrageous i had to comment, well done cant wait to see it.
(Denim)The "fuzz" comes from the fact that the fibers of the denim are separating. They're still filled with epoxy, but because the fibers are separated from each other, and that they're so small, they can still have a bit of give in them. A toothbrush is typically made from plastic, but we still call them "fuzzy" for the exact same reason. This came out really freaking amazing. I kinda want a desk like this now..........
Exactly. The cotton fibers of the denim are essentially tiny little wound threads encased in epoxy. The planer shears the epoxy very nicely, given its homogeneous nature, whereas the denim is being frayed as it passes through the planer knives.
For $17k usd + freight you can have this table. Haha
Yup! You get the same fuzzy results if sanding into fibreglass or carbon fibre.
This is literally the only KZhead channel that I routinely refresh in the hope of new videos. I watch in totality without fast forwarding or skipping. Love the content. I’ve never left any rude comments, so I didn’t appreciate the bad wishes to your viewers at the start 😔
It was only meant for the bad people. It sounds like you’re not one of them. But I can’t be sure
This and BM Sculptures are the only two channels I watch. Mesmerized from start to finish.
One of the most beautiful table I've ever seen. Fantastic!!
Denim! That is a beautiful table. I work with epoxy on a much smaller scale but I've wanted to try layered fabric in epoxy for a while, thank you for the tips!
Denim, the combination of epoxy and denim looks absolutely stunning! I'm always amazed by your creativity and craftsmanship. Keep up the amazing work!
Oh thanks bud
I have just discover your channel and watching for like 2 days thinking you are a "classic" professional woodworker. When I learn your story of starting as a hobby and quitting your job for it, I appreciate the work even more. Thats sort of my dream too.
Denim or no denim, keep doing what you love. That's what makes your videos so great!
I absolutely only watch your channel to see something done that I could never do. I’m a brilliant musician, toured the world as a drummer/singer. I love your channel ❤
denim but with a caveat...I like that you are trying new and original things. So, I don't necessarily need more denim, but I love new/original things. Love the channel!
same!
Hey man. I just wanted to say, as a wood worker, I have enjoyed your denim table videos WAY more than your usual walnut and epoxy tables. While there’s no denying the natural beauty of walnut and how much it’s highlighted with epoxy, I really enjoy how creative you’ve been with these denim tables. Shows more skill as a wood worker and a craftsman, IMO. Plus next to wood work, denim is my favorite!
You do know that denim is not wood? Don't you?
@benburnett8109 You do realize that comment makes no reference to NOT knowing that denim is not wood, don't you? I am assuming the person DOES understand that denim is not wood. In fact, the comment kinda explains that denim is not wood. Working with denim in this fashion uses the same skills as woodworking and you need to understand certain concepts a bit to utilize them on different materials.
@@missdee153 So what you are saying is that "Denim is not wood?" Or, are you saying "wood is not Denim?" BIg difference.
@@benburnett8109can you please give a detailed explanation as to what wood is, as well as denim? Because apparently I’ve had them mixed up all these years and now I’m not even sure what’s real anymore and I dont know if I’ll be able to make a living. Please hurry so I don’t go on with my life being so ignorant
@@missdee153 please can we kick Ben off the softball team! I agree with you but please realize you or I caint fix stupid. 😂😮😊
Absolutely gorgeous! Thanks so much for sharing ❤ I love that you share all the process (what works and what doesnt) not just the glorious moments 😊 And the results of your creations are *very* glorious! Keep them coming please, greetings from Brazil 😊
Denim or no denim, I love seeing the craftsmanship that goes into everything you make. Thanks for a good video!
Denim. The interactions with Scott and the little documentary like making of sections are really nice. MORE!!!!!
YES! So glad you revisited the denim table. The previous video and the pool of denim dyed epoxy still lives rent free in my mind.
Denim, yes please. Great looking table, love watching your videos and appreciate your creative nature of trying new things.
This video was awesome. I cannot for the life of me undersrand what Scott doesn't like about this table. It is the most awesomest (yep, I made up a word) thing I've ever seen. If I could afford it, I'd love to try it for myself. This thing is friggin amazing. Thanks for the video.
I'm an idiot. I apologize. I said "Steve" when his name is Cam. My bad.
Denim - this is gorgeous. Not too psychedelic at all to my eyes, and has really made me see the fabric differently and increased my appreciation for it.
Denim. Your choice of project, knowledge-base, professionalism, and demeanour make watching your videos a real pleasure. Thanks for sharing.
I'm new to the subscription of your channel, but have watched your videos for some time now. I just wanted to tell you how much I love your videos, and your work. I have taken so much of your suggestions to make my small projects better. Keep up the amazing work!
Denim, you do amazing work. You say you aren't an expert but with the perfectionist aspect of your work there is no one else that can come close to what you do
Denim. It would be so cool if you rolled up the denim into a log, so when you cut it into boards, it would have grain identical to actual wood. A slab table would probably be unreasonable, but a panel board top would look incredible, especially with the end grain showing the denims "anual rings"
As a clothing designer, I couldn’t help but think how cool it’d be to do that with different years of denim. Denim changed a lot over the years. It’d be quite expensive on the resale market to do it but I think I could find enough years of denim through my work I could probably source enough from 20-30 of denim years for a round side table
Thanks to you I have decided to quit my career as a fitness instructor and become a woodworker. I am starting today with my mentor. Thank you so much for the inspiration. Keep up the great work!
Denim - 👍🏼👍🏼 One of the coolest, most innovative and creative projects I've ever seen on KZhead! Please do more. Detailing the epoxy infusion and finishing process would be coo as well! Outstanding job!
I love the denim. As an artist who paints in an abstract style, I NEED a table like that. Plus I just love the different shades of denim
As someone who has worn jeans for over 40 years, I love the idea of furniture that reflects the look and feel of something so familiar yet puts it into a new context. I can't wait to see how the raw edge idea plays out.
Thank you for saying what so many KZheadrs don't say "Out Loud".... The ball team will be so much happier with the new roster ..... Thanks for sharing ... Stay safe and well ... I am writing this while listening to your router I love watching your video's and that's why I am glad I am a "Metal worker" and Yes, I will watch until the end .... I like the 7/8's ... but then I liked everyone of the angles ... And I love the table completed ... Awesome.. Denim....
You said it best! I'm sick of creators going easy on idiotic commenters. Nobody likes youuuu!! haha
Adore the way this turned out! From the jump I thought I would dislike the end product but this was a very pleasant surprise! Also, thank you for your creativity and spirit of exploration! I've worked professionally with laminates and vacuum bags and know how much of a pain the process can be!
I absolutely want this table! It does have that psychedelic vibe - but that also depends on decor styling etc. I see this in a modern home with tons of raw rustic details, lush materials and a nod to African old world art and textiles. To me it’s EARTHY!! Which I love…. Love so much that it looks like hypnotic wood. Or a dazzling pool of water. Really beautiful!
DENIM for sure! I’m an old wood worker. I appreciate your humor and humility. I’d like to see a smaller denim project. I don’t have access to a commercial planer but I do have an 18” planer. Also, could you make denim legs? I might give it a try. Keep em coming.
I’d love to do denim legs
I absolutely adored your last denim table, watched it like 6 times. The world’s most anticipated sequel has arrived!
I can’t describe how excited I was to see the next denim video drop
Denim definitely. Loving these creative used of materials.
This is actually Amazing! Who knew a denim table would be so rocking cool, and stunningly Gorgeous!!!😎
More denim! The table looks amazing. I think another way to look at what you're doing is more like Mokume Gane or the process of layering materials, carving away portions to expose the layers and then flattening it to a smooth surface.
You've become quite an artist, you see flaws on what we consider is a masterpiece! Excited to see more denim furniture on your channel :)
Denim tables are very cool, love that you try out new ideas.
More Denim!! No questions, just enjoying watching!! And getting a lot of good info! Thank you!😊
Micarta is a great material and I am surprised there aren't many more people making tables out of them! I have mostly seen it for old machine parts and recently for knife handles and also frames for glasses, but never tables. Cool idea, especially with the marbled pattern!
Never heard of Micarta. I'll have to look this up🤔🤔
@@ronallen6578Search for ‘knives micarta’. You will find it on many knives out there and it can be beautiful.
I don't know how you keep coming up with the most creative projects, this looks amazing
Denim, I love the way it turned out the imperfections you don't like, I think make it even better! Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder.
That color is STRIKING! Looks great, really unique!
I love the creativity and your sense of humor. I'm glad you don't take yourself too seriously. You may not call yourself an artist, but you are one, and artists are constantly pushing the boundaries, and experimenting with new concepts. Please don't stop doing that, and also, listen to your wife. Her quality control position is priceless.😅
Denim. Definitely not a table I could have in my home, but just... Wow. I was audibly awed when you first showed the last sand down (or cut to width? I don't know the terminology). I absolutely love when you experiment and always want to see more! Best denim epoxy channel in the world!
It's a hideous plastic table
@@galvanizedgnome uhhhhh you don't have to watch then.... Did you watch the whole video just to say that? Or did you immediately comment without watching... Either way, do something better with your time?
More denim please. I love the table, thank you so much for sharing.
DENIM. This is just amazing! Crazy talent.
Definitely denim! Some people don’t appreciate what goes into quality woodworking. My Dad was an awesome woodworker/craftsman and you work the way he did. You are a fantastic craftsman as well. That table belongs in one of the galleries in the Pearl (if it’s still as nice down there as I remember it being 15 years ago). Thanks for bringing back memories of my Dad with your work. 🥹 It warms my heart to see others do what he did.
I absolutely love your black epoxy + walnut tables, but I’m curious to see how a crystal clear epoxy table would look with live edge. Keep up the amazing videos you’re definitely my favorite youtuber
Denim - As a sewist and all around fiber artist with a love of instructional woodworking content, the denim table ticks all my boxes.
Denim this stuff is awesome. And simply beautiful. I find your videos not only entertaining but cathartic.
Denim Cam your the only denim epoxy expert I’m aware of. 7/8ths on the router edge looks great.
I totally get what you said about people wanting to watch you work. I love woodworking, but often don't have time to do it myself. Getting to watch lets me feel like Im keeping up with the hobby and learning new ideas at the same time.
I honestly love the part where the small circle wood bits were the most! I'd love to see another iteration where you only use that size to form the Damascus, or maybe try a hexagon pattern, get a Damascus beehive going!
Hexagons are bestagons afterall

This is absolutely beautiful... I love it. I remember the disastrous first denim table you made which turned out awesome in the end. This one is a thousand times better, no disastors whatsoever, you flowed very smoothly. However, I'm not so chuffed with the base, I wish it was different, or if the legs were a bit bigger. It looks unstable although it not! Great work ❤
Denim: That's astonishing; I love the effect! It is absolutely stunning!
Denim... This is not craftsmanship This is plain ART!! No words! 😲
The fuzzy feeling is probably because, even though the epoxy may have saturated each layer of denim, there's still the actual threads of denim in there. So like when you water pop wood grain, it has the fuzzy feeling of the fibres, it's probably something like that
That's a wonderful perspective. Thanks.
It wasnt a comment for you. @@mikeknowlden9617
@@Sinclairbot dude! I know. I just liked the perspective. It makes sense. As an aircraft composite mechanic I can see now why Kevlar is hard to work with. I'm sory you got but hurt. I won't agree with you any more
Denim! I just found your channel and I'm so glad I did. You're a great host with wonderful projects. I love the flip between teaching and stories, what's happening and your thoughts. Your voice is smooth, the editing is amazing, and the camerawork is above fantastic (kudos to your camera person). Thanks for making these! I'm glad I have such a great backlog to work through!
That is jaw-droppingly gorgeous! I hope it finds a home near the coast, giving a beachy, hippie, psychedelic vibe. I'd personally prefer a black base that completely gives all the attention to the table top. But, wow! What a fun project.
Denim! I love your projects. My brother in law, who couldnt care less about woodworking even watches of your vids! I love that you've embraced the entertainment aspects of what you do.
Denim... Keep your demeanor and the prickly attitude/dry humor, you'll stay the king of woodworking. It shows you're a real person, and we're getting genuine thoughts of yours. And of course you make amazing art
Denim - how interesting the design on the surface from the denim, absolutely beautiful! Love your art
Denim! Loved this. So many ideas. Diffent colour combinations. Maybe carbon fiber. Patterned Fabrics. More deliberate design or abstract designs. Really looking forward to more! Overall shape and colour combo was fantastic! 🎉
Denim! This is incredible, and I absolutely love how it turned out... there is no doubt that you have the biggest and best "Denim and Epoxy" channel on KZhead, haha! Your videos are informative, very entertaining, and all-consuming! Love your work!
This turned out really cool! I'd say it's more micarta than damascus, but whatever you want to call it, it looks good. It's a really common type of material used for knife handles. Other fabrics often used are burlap, canvas, and linen. Would be cool to see something made with burlap coffee bags, as they usually have interesting stuff printed on them.
Micartamascus?
A potato sack coffee table?
I am very impressed with you boss, what you have created is truly amazing
