So much work you put in to your videos. You deserve more views for sure. This is kinda meditative. Great job, really!!

[@emilunderbjerg]

thank you so much, I'm glad you like what i do!

[@EmilsSalmins]

Awesome , i currently working on project with resin, so we are on the same wave :D i was planning to resin final prints, but when i saw this it blow me away, possibilities are endless! Keep it up !

[@emilunderbjerg]

that sounds like a cool idea as well, hope you make them!

[@imumcohelios]

Oh boy! I’m stoked about your manual skillz!

[@illustratornamedkasper]

I love the amount of attention and care you put into your work, it's simply inspiring and your works are incredible. Can I ask what you use to film overhead? =)

[@emilunderbjerg]

I'm glad you like what i do 😊 i use a homemade bracket that holds my Fuji x-t3. the bracket hangs on a French cleat that extends around the room so i can move the camera around as needed

[@illustratornamedkasper]

@@emilunderbjerg Thanks a lot. Cool with the homemade bracket. I can tell there's a good camera behind with that nice crisp picture!

[@meilingellerman2326]

The table is gorgeous, what an innovative way to give the lino block new life!

[@emilunderbjerg]

thank you, I'm glad you like it!

[@ryanboeding1318]

Was that a touch decision to know that you would never be able to print Alchemy again?

[@emilunderbjerg]

not really, we were planning to do it from the beginning so i always knew it was going to happen

[@lexieleafy]

I don't know how you could bear to part with that beautiful linocut, but the table was an inspiring project (-:

[@emilunderbjerg]

I'm glad you like it! i have one of the prints to get for myself, and i know it's in good hands so I'm okay parting with it 😊

[@blurbunny6695]

This looks amazing as usual. This is so good!

[@emilunderbjerg]

thank you so much 😊

[@BobbySpiessVienna]

Craaazy stuff dude 😮🤩 👍

[@daveturnbull7221]

Well this was an unexpected twist - I never even considered this as a use for the linocut once all the printing was finished. A year to have done all this from initial concept to printed and on to making a table is understandable if you are doing it full time but from what you said this is only a part-time thing at present. That makes it even more impressive. Thank you for sharing it with us and the very best for the future.

[@emilunderbjerg]

i wish i could do more projects like this, the carved lino is so beautiful on its own, and often just ends up in a drawer somewhere. thank you for watching this series of videos :)

[@morningdewgarden7432]

Quite lovely! Such a great way to make a beautiful piece of work last forever!

[@emilunderbjerg]

thank you !

[@ioshkatabrat5891]

What a great way to reuse the lino! Will def try it out for myself!

[@emilunderbjerg]

i hope it turns out well!
