1000 Feet of Denim and 20 Gallons of Epoxy

[@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.”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@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.

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 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. ❤❤❤

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.

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

[@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.

[@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.

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.

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.

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

[@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 !

[@fnt2791]

Never thought anybody would build a denim table, Great job it turned out fantastic! You never fail to amaze us in every video

Замечательная идея, не говоря о её воплащении, методом проб и ошибок, браво!!! Привет из России.

Lee. I've never seen this before and I had no idea it would look that good. Hats off to you for putting in all that money and effort, and then giving it away to a honest guy who helped you out. You're truly an elite creator on this platform.

[@lauig]

Loved that picasso joke almost as much as i loved to see his genuine reaction and his immediate thought to his wife directly after that. Seems to me you gave away a table, but you earned a friend for life there. Power of kindness at its best. (Also, that end result was sooo neat can't wait to see what you do next with that micarta, that finish is stunning !)

[@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.

[@rufogallardo7168]

second this comment

[@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

[@afrofabbke656]

everything blended so well in the end, the denim, brass and the legs. great work. and the patience you have, phewwww. levis are my fave

[@ampiegreeff3075]

To say I am horrible at working with wood is an understatement. I have never see epoxy in real life. However, I am drawn to your movies from a creative point of view. Not only is it satisfactory to see someone create something but what people can learn from your experience is astounding. And what a great person to share all this. What an amazing channel.....

[@zentair]

reading the first sentence I thought this was a reply from that guy he insulted in the video, what was his name, of right, picasso. Picasso does not have a youtube channel. so not you. my bad.

[@BenAnthony_]

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

[@jeanduffey0757]

It’s beautiful! Thank you for being a nice person and giving the denim desk to the guy that leather wrapped the legs. God bless you and your family!

[@dhaneshgaikar8071]

I am an Indian and I am totally responding to your concept. Very well done and I heartily congratulate you for it.

[@jlgreer68]

This was my first time seeing one of your videos. I believe that was one of the best looking desk designs I have ever seen. The generosity that you returned to the upholstery guy was amazing. Keep doing you it’s awesome.

[@BlacktailStudio]

Thanks bud!

[@davespangler9125]

My favorite denim is whatever you just used. What an amazing piece, I'm glad it found such a deserving home. As an aside, I'd just like to say that Scott has really come in to his own with your channel. I love the bits of banter between you guys and he has clearly become a real asset to the channel beyond his video work. Can't wait to see more wacky projects from you guys!

The denim table is aesthetically pleasing. Excellent work.

[@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!

[@mikepetitt9624]

I’m not a denim expert so I will just say I watched to the end 😂 Cam this was a sick build! I would have never thought you could do something like this! It’s super cool and loved how you did the legs! Really love it! Thanks for always making inspiring projects!

[@coliflower6854]

Blacktail Studio is officially my new favorite brand of denim. Fantastic work, Cam, as always! At the end of every one of your videos I have to pause just to admire the finished product and dream of creating something so pristine and beautiful. If you ever see this comment, just know that I've become a true fan of your work and your channel, and you inspire me so much to try and become a great craftsman like you! Thank you for that. :)

[@AminaAlieva-c2e]

Вы настоящий бренд. Я купила такой стол и все жизнь восхищалась ее. Этаже шедевр .

[@bradleythompson6338]

I don’t have a favorite brand of denim but that Picasso joke I actually laughed out loud at. Also, your relationship with your videographer is awesome. Also, giving the desk where you did was the perfect move and the whole process from the nightmare starting to the beautiful end product was a delight.

[@joebarreto1983]

Wrangler. When I think you have exhausted all the good ideas for a table, you come up with something completely different and equally amazing. Love that you show the insecurities and mess ups. You have inspired me over the years and push me to be a better woodworker myself. Usually you co-create art with Mother Nature, but today you have done it with an equally great artist. Keep on creating!

[@BobBartman]

You don’t give yourself enough credit as an artist. This table is awesome and your creativity and humor are why this is my favorite channel on KZbin. Keep ‘‘em coming!

[@sarahorman8215]

Always Levi's!! But im a 40 yr old from the uk so they always seemed so cool when i was growing up! I have a love of anything denim so really enjoyed this video. the "leg guy" also did an incredible job.

[@Vittorio_Cova]

Elegant, yet casual, yet unique, yet familiar. Gorgeous piece of art, leather stitched legs compliment the denim like a pair of jeans do cowboy boots. I can see this becoming a future line of furniture. One of my favorite builds, well done!

[@Jojoba25]

Your such a good sport about your trials and errors 😊 not perfecting your videos and allowing the entire process be filmed is the real beauty outside of your gorgeous projects ❤

[@seanmulvany2139]

This belongs in the museum of modern art in New York. What a creative medium. Nick Schade got one of his kayaks in there. I think this is on the same level. Really inspirational stuff. Impressive. Way to stick with it! I know every Craftsman watching that video collectively groaned whenever they saw what happened to you with the runoff. Congrats. So inspired!

[@andresifrain7206]

wow man, que increíble trabajo, felicitaciones a todo el equipo..!! Saludos desde Argentina....

[@fjb4750]

Wranglers my favorite denim. I must say your way more of a true craftsman than you give yourself credit for. I used to do Upholstery after turning wrenches for over 30 years but I stopped because of health issues. I’m better than I was so I finally went back to work but I decided to turn wrenches for a buddy that needed help. This has inspired me to get my Juki fired back up and start sewing again. Thank you for picking me up and making me see I need to make myself happy again. God bless 🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸
