I do not know how your video popped up in my account, but as a crafter, sewer, and thrifty recycler... I watched every second! This process was so fascinating. And the results?! Just incredible. If you want to use the pants think smaller, end tables, coffee tables, maybe some modernist designs with curves and skinny legs. BRASS WAS GENIUS whether intentional or not, the brass mimics the studs in making of genes, and your brass outlets were just cherries on the dessert❣ and the leather is also a nod the the jeans lifestyle. All thats left is to get leather tags embossed with your branding to put your claim to these art pieces. You are absolutely on to something. And you can add design elements with your colored epoxy like rhinestones. ❤❤❤

[@InfiNoob]

I am the same. I'm not sure how I got here, but I'm glad I did. That end result was incredible! Amazing choices all around! As for my favorite brand of jeans, I'm not sure I have one. I can't remember the last time I got consecutive pairs from the same brand.

[@c.carroll5635]

The denim, leather, brass combo table is an instant classic and would fit in almost any casual space. I love the fact that the denim slab could be used as stock to make parts. I can see people using it for automotive trim pieces, gun stocks and grips and even jewelery. And you haven’t even scratched the surface of different colors or tie dyed denim.

[@colbydobransky530]

"Picasso was a horrible woodworker." 😂😂😂 Fantastic work as always. Love the denim and brass look.

[@That_Stealth_Guy]

He deserved that table 100%. Talk about a humble man. I don't know if I like the idea of using denim, or his leather wrapping skills more! Kudos to both of you for making an amazing desk!

Phenomenal project mate, and deserving recipient.

[@Sequesterer]

I agree. Well deserved! And a nice gesture.

[@shaheenseiffert]

Thank you guys so much!

[@hibahprice6887]

The main thing is that he likes it. I love this table, but I don't have space for two or more tables at home, if I had to choose, I would choose wood. This table lacks depth, something like 3D milling at a depth of 8/10, in the shape of the same jeans, with some interesting ragged relief (so that all layers can be seen) then poured with super transparent resin. Because now the table looks like it's fiberboard laminated with a single layer of denim, it doesn't feel like it's made entirely of denim.

[@TheThreekeys]

“Picasso was a terrible wood worker.”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@hermes3386]

Frankly speaking, I'm actually full of admiration for people like you who dare anything just to produce something innovative. What energy required... and what talent it takes !

[@rupalikumar2021]

Honestly, this is so dope! I think this is the first piece of furniture I was moved by. No just the efforts but the deisgn, the wishbone legs, the color contrast of denim with brown leather, the crafstmanship! Just reallyyyy amazing!

[@ruthrausch5237]

I'm an old (87) lady that loves to watch you create! I love the look of denim for the table. It gave me the idea of making denim coasters. I got too old to sell my resin items at craft shows, so I give it all away. I think you are a great artist!

[@susanwhittaker865]

[@fishbonetrunk6645]

As a textile designer this would be smart for textile waste, many textile factories give the waste fabrics for free. Smaller pieces like nightstand tops for smaller pieces, you could use printed fabrics too. It's a interesting idea to use old curtains that fall apart as a table would look awesome.

[@LuQiYun]

Yeah, agree. That way we would also save more tree for being used as furniture.

[@Exknight2]

@@LuQiYun Trees regrow (through saplings) within years, deforestation is the problem, the moment a tree is cut it frees up the sky for another tree to take the sunlight and then it's a race about which sapling tree grows faster to take the spot.

[@mfbfreak]

I think you could definitely industrially make it a useful process. Think about the Trabant body panel production, except with epoxy instead of phenolic resin - and with manually laid out strips of denim instead of shredded fuzz.

[@LuQiYun]

@@Exknight2 but the fact is nowadays human cut more trees than needed, lot of forest gone.

[@JJ-iu5hl]

That's why he said deforestation is the problem. That's the complete removal of forest. Cutting down trees to use for limber and paper is usually not bad. They don't kill the entire landscape. They just take the mature trees, which, like he said, allows saplings to mature.

[@sjgrabowski]

Wrangler - Denim Phase, yes! Love that you honor the artistic tradition. Original paintings in artist original frames, sculptures on bases, table tops on legs. May you continue to find new ways to elevate the craft and artistry!

[@snkolson]

That Denim looked absolutely beautiful after it came out of the planner. My vote is you do one like that next as a set of coffee table. Great work and as always very inspiring

[@schuylermontgomery3396]

Awesome project! Since you asked for suggestions-as an aerospace engineer, my mind jumps to vacuum infusion. It’s a pretty common technique in aircraft manufacturing, and one of the big benefits is you can completely avoid the mess of epoxy. You would basically put the whole denim stack in a sealed bag with some “flow media” as the top layer. Then you pull vacuum on the bag on one side and allow your epoxy to flow in through the other side. Once it’s fully infused, you let it cure under vacuum. Then you can peel the bag off it and ideally you have a perfect denim layup with no mess. Hope this helps!

[@jonbourgeois8390]

I've heard of that. It's how carbon fiber is made. Yes, it would probably work brilliantly!

[@goddess_bree]

I've seen the vacuum bag method work as a means to make micarta successfully before, using various materials and both glue and epoxy, so this would be great at a much larger scale like this desk.

[@Zero.0ne.]

Infusion could have made this an easy one day project.

[@isaacbrandt7345]

Bruh that’s genius 😂

[@nutsmcflurry3737]

And not expensive to set up

[@emanueladadarlat3159]

Honestly, I'm not necessarily a denim enthusiast (for things other than jeans), so I was quite skeptical going into the video. I'm blown away of how much I like it. And the stitching on those legs .....wow, such craftsmanship from you both.

[@erinaltstadt4234]

[@bookworm1052]

Oooohhh, I love that idea too!

[@killerkitkats6783]

[@alicer-w878]

Next time you make this, I would make a 3 sided mold to stop your resin leaking on the ground. And just have an opening where you have your resin container to catch to excess resin. I would make the sides low so you can still clamp your fabric together. The table is beautiful. I would love something like that. Great job!

[@QueenofMarine]

That table was so beautiful! And it was a very sweet and thoughtful thing to surprise him with it. Too bad he didn't even say thank you or "I love it" or a single nice thing about the amazing table he was being gifted. He didn't seem excited in the slightest. It was as if someone brought him a Snickers back from the gas station. Maybe I'm missing something about his personality, but that complete lack of gratitude really bummed me out.

Secondly you collaborated with an absolute artist (perfectionist) not unlike like yourself. Thirdly, you rewarded him with the gift of the work of art that you both created together. I am embarrassed that all I can do to support you is subscribing to your channel and commenting on every video of yours that I see. You are a craftsman, a gentleman and a great human being. I salute you.

[@joey2421]

This is a beautiful piece. Like you mention, the damascus look is timeless (as is denim) If you did do a levis table, imagine a double denim top (jacket and jeans) with logo sealed in epoxy. That would look insane!

[@winstonzeb2842]

This is very similar to fiberglass work! I think you’d have a lot of success with vacuum bags for the clamp up. That would also be a simple way to start making non-flat forms/molds to layup curved shapes. You could also get some biaxial fiberglass and work that into the layers to get thinner parts that have structural strength. I’m excited to see what you do on this new path, there’s certainly a lot of opportunities!

[@davidanalyst671]

i was thinking carbon fiber but yeah

[@InsufficientGravitas]

Its basically the same kinda material, a fiberous weave held to gether with a resin, pretty similar to carbon fiber too. You could probably try and imitate the construction metods used in making composits, but I fear denim may be too thick to paint the resin on and have it properly soak through the fibers.

[@nikosfil]

I also was thinking how windsurfing boards are made. He could check videos with the process.

[@bgdavisX]

True. I would lay it out, pour the epoxy then use a fiberglass roller to get the excess out. You could skip the hand wringing and reduce the mess.

[@Thinkle911]

Well, i guess technically it is exactly the same as working with fiberglass. The body of the infamous Trabant car from the communistic regime German Democratic Republic was made like this table: cotton cloth soaked in resin laminated into shapes. it does not depend so much on the fiber you are using, the working technics are mostly the same. Technically you coud also cheat and laminate the denim over a lighter weight, but robust core to safe work, time and money on resin and denim and avoid emissions by wasting ressources. maybe it wouldn't feel right, but in the end noone would ever care, even, if you tell them.

I love charity work myself, but would it have not been more generous for him to just use a slab of oak for the core, since it would never be seen again after a layer of denim went over it, and then he could have donated that $2000 dollars or so worth of epoxy and denim to like 100 other craftsmen to make cool projects with? Imagine how depleted our natural resources would be if everyone were as wasteful as this when it came to hobby crafts. Geesh wow, still smh in agony over this. What's next, making an engine that uses solid gold pistons to be put inside a Honda Civic?? Oh nvm, I'm afraid if he reads that suggestion he may actually try to do it🤦‍♂

@@Rick-the-Swift I was also wondering why he bought sooo much denim that essentially could’ve been literally any material since it would never be seen haha. Then again, it’s precisely because the entire table is literally denim that the project seems even more epic

[@AdriansHabits]

Hey BlackTail! What about laying all the sheets into a vacuum sealed bag? Almost like how they work carbon fiber. Loved the finished product :)

[@212superdude212]

with the amount of epoxy that was leaking out of that thing, im not sure youd be able to get the pressure needed to hold it without sucking liquid epoxy into your vacuum

[@apt40444]

100%. Used to build fiber glass/carbon fiber boats. Vacuum infusion would be the way to go. It’s a bit of a finicky process, but probably worth the setup. Alternatively, lots of good tutorials on hand laminating sheets. This is essentially fiber glass layup work. We talked quite a bit about making tables out of regular fabric in the shop, considering we had all the gear to do it.

[@BlacktailStudio]

ya, I've been experimenting with that a bit since this project actually. Just cant have as much epoxy squeeze out as this piece or it'll get sucked into the vac.

[@apt40444]

We used to vacuum infuse carbon fiber sheet on a sliding glass door - Apply mold release to the door, lay down your fabric (worked up to 1”+ thick), peel ply, resin/vacuum lines, vacuum bag. Suck it down, introduce the resin, let it cure. No mess, and using glass ensured the surface finish was excellent.

[@rpmrpmtube]

You can just get a bag to put in your vacuum then buy a tube you can just throw away after

Просто потрясающий стол!!! Никогда не видел ничего подобного!!! КРАСОТА!!!

[@stevesloan6775]

I skipped to the end, and was blown-out by how well all the bases were covered.💙😂🙃 You can’t say enough for post processing polishing.🤙 Time times time equals curing states. Longer the better sometimes.

[@jennypatterson6660]

This is awesome! I would like to suggest you look at a Japanese process called "Mokume Gane" Basically you would layer your denim like you did here, but on the bottom use various sized wads of denim to create hills and valleys in the top design. It comes out looking like a topographical map.

[@ng4847]

I third this recommendation 🫡🧐

[@haydenemmink3833]

Definitely a good idea and I’d like to see him try it, although it probably wouldn’t end up as a super functional piece haha

Love that you gifted it to Shaheen! What incredible work he did on the legs! Turned out beautiful ❤️

I am jealous of your dedication and amazing talent and creativity😊 Awesome results.

[@wadelewis3286]

Man, those leather wrapped legs went so well with that denim table. What a beautiful piece

[@BenAnthony_]

I didn't think I would want a denim desk, but now I do because of how amazing that turned out!

[@kersh8568]

I was ready to hate this table the second you said denim! but after the epoxy mess in the garage I was already rooting for you 😆 Much cooler than I would have handled it. Then once you polished that table and used the spray it was on another level!! great work!

[@dreamwoodsbutterfly]

This blew my mind, So enjoyed watching your process and laughed at your humor along the way. Beautiful job.

[@monkeyorchid4081]

I love it and the legs are so beautifully stitched honestly they are a work of art!

[@curiousgeorge2792]

TRULY TURNED OUT BEAUTIFUL, didn’t they???? WOW WOW WOW!!!

[@JoeyTen]

Seeing the end result, I'm rooting for a denim phase. Not only does it look incredible, but look at how much was learned, just from one project!

[@chrisfarrell8399]

Levi 501. Absolutely stunning!! So glad you’re offering another option for your workshop 😊

[@littlemountain6413]

Fabric infused with resin to make a solid material is called micarta. Very common material in knife handles and super unique. Cool to see it used on a larger project.

[@snowy2550]

I hope I'm not the only person who has noticed that one of the best things about your videos is your honesty. I know personally that there are so many points in watching people do projects that I want to ask what they were thinking when they implemented something, or overlooked errors. Keep up the incredible work!

[@MartyH]

Don't know if your a car guy, but another KZbin channel I watch is Home Built by Jeff and he does the same, admits to his mistakes and it just makes a good watch.

[@PrevailingFreedom]

Honesty? This table isn’t made entirely out of denim; he uses epoxy. So the title is clickbait and inaccurate

[@Paradise-on-Earth]

@@PrevailingFreedom 😂😂😂

[@MadeinPolandChannel]

I love the end result!

[@victorodionov]

Very cool looking project and especially the result. As for squeezing the liquid epoxy - in my country we have an old school device for squeezing laundry. It's two long tubes/drums with a handle. Take a look at a "hand Clothes Wringer" may be it'll give an idea.

[@Volt64bolt]

It’s just micarta but it’s still cool

[@spulwasser]

​@@victorodionov ah yes, the good old laundry mangle

[@kaveac]

Wow! That is unreal. That desk is absolutely stunning … top to bottom.

[@MartyKane217]

The blue denim, brown leather and bright brass is an absolutely beautiful combination. This turned out amazing. Kudos for giving away the desk too, that is super cool
