New! I showed my husband the start of your video and said “this guy is good you should watch with me” he said “but it’s almost half an hour!” He was sucked in after the first few minutes and I think you now have another subscriber 😂 I think your table should be called “meltwater” as it reminds me of a glacial river. So innovative and cool.

Amazing! Well done. I don’t like that when I watch your videos my wife gets ideas of what she thinks I can do. I’m not even close to having any skill. Thanks for these videos. I’ve learned a ton of things.

[@Andrew-xc2zi]

PhD in polymer engineering here; you're absolutely correct about the shape memory effect around 18:50. When the epoxy was heated above its glass transition temperature during the sun-assisted shaping stage, the residual stresses in the area around the clamp were "locked in" after it cooled back down. When you sanded it that area was likely heated back above the glass transition temperature and was able to relax again, leaving telltale markings from the clamp due to the shape memory effect!

[@GustiBack]

love to see a specialist describing it!

[@cmbunton]

Epoxy has no shape memory. He just missed it while sanding.

[@kimberlyjudd1685]

Impressive. I just learned something new. Thank you!

[@joshstabler3438]

Automotive detailers talk about a similar phenomenon: the sun can sort of “reactivate” blemishes and mineral deposits which were thought to be removed by compounding/polishing.

epoxy is epoxy and epoxy melts (glass is glass and glass breaks)

[@tylerkrusemark9191]

@@BlacktailStudio Hijacking this comment thread to tag you. With my extremely limited education in my department of mechanical and materials engineering, I do know of the fact that epoxy can be altered to behave in the way you describe in the video. With a high strain inducing plastic deformation (the clamp) being released near the glass transition temperature (usually that a lot higher than 40C but in some cases it can be low) the "permanent" shape is set at the high temp, then when allowed to cool it will take on a "temporary: shape. However, this "permanent" shape is typically only recovered when heated back up to temperatures closer to what the experienced during its formation. I don't believe that event had ever occurred, the only thing I can think of is the sanding, polishing, buffing processes producing large amounts surface heat, thereby replicating those conditions. It's unlikely though. It's more likely that the strain was so excessive that the clamp stamped a shape really deep in there but it would be hard to see without the polished finish. Hard to say. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape-memory_polymer edit. Did you shine a UV light on it for a long period of time? UV can induce this kind of shape rebound as well.

I realize I am a year late watching this video, but I just recently got started playing with epoxy and am watching everything. This table turned out gorgeous and in would have called it Down To Earth or Azure Beauty. I'm a new subscriber and look forward to watching all your older and new videos. As a beginner, woodworker and epoxy pourer videos like this are an inspiration. And that you give things away is amazing! Who knows, one day I might even get lucky!

[@TheMrawesomest]

That looks absolutely amazing. The zebra wood leg looks so much better than having an acrylic leg. It adds a natural element that makes the epoxy seem like a waterfall in a jungle.

[@megawl2086]

there's something about wood/epoxy theme in furniture and i can't quite put my finger on it

[@Mikemalone7873]

New! The melting reminded me of the “Persistence of Memory” by Salvador Dali (melting clocks). So “Persistence of Blue” might be an appropriate name. Love how a casual observation leads to an amazing result! And the woodworking is amazing too!

[@anabarbulescu4043]

Loving the name. I would have gone for The Ghost of Vermeer of Delft Which Can Be Used As a Table for the obvious reason but I greatly enjoy where your mind went.

[@STEAMerBear]

That old or new is such an apples vs. oranges question! I love both. Swapping them totally changes the whole space. I’d expect to see the old one next to an old biology professor’s favorite reading chair. The new one belongs next to a pilot’s recliner covered with maps, flight logs, a big mug of coffee and an E6B.

[@BhaaskarDesai]

The old one is aesthetically more pleasing, although the new one certainly has a more modern vibe to it. This piece of art is creative and looks gorgeous. Fantastic job. I would name this epoxy build : *The Dive* Primarily due to the waterfall shape but more importantly because you took a leap of faith and were successful :)

[@carlinianam0s]

I like this a lot!! What a great name for the table. I also agree that the old table is aesthetically pleasing whereas the new has.. well .. a new vibe! My only issue is that I feel like stuff will slide off easily since it's so curved, so it would really have to be more of a conversation piece than a functional table, which is TOTALLY FINE. For me, though, I would just rather have the more functional table.

The BIG difference that makes me love your work is, that your commentary is not merely talking about what you’re doing, or how, or additional tips, but the entire thought process that goes into your decisions. That is invaluable, and makes me connect in a way one rarely feels on most other channels.

[@raragrace5040]

It kind of looks like an abstract art piece of a vintage surf board riding a wave. I really love the choice of the wooden leg, especially the zebra wood, and the way you attached it! For moving purposes I almost wish all furniture could be put together like that 😂 I’m currently in the process of joining 2 wooden bedside table together, back to back, to create a coffee table, and watching your channel for the first time makes me feel slightly less crazy and a lot more hopeful 😊

Honestly can't decide between old and new. They're both gorgeous and look good where you had them staged.

Name her something elegant as her. She deserves it. What's your wife's name again? Her high bar is what you work to impress. A perfect match by viewing your whole process. I know you'll never read this but it's my honest thought. I'm subscribing today. After being on KZbin for many years I've not hit that sub button. The like button yes the dislike many more. You're an artist, only because of mastering woodworking techniques have you honed your craft. You aren't required to know everything in woodworking to be a master craftsman. Doing one specific thing better than everyone else earns that title as long as you do the basic things relatively well. You sir are top notch mastering several. Kudos!

Old was a very cool piece. But new is definitely something that I have never seen and I don’t want to stop staring at it. It’s absolute mesmerizing in the way it looks like a waterfall. The wood leg just solidifies the waterfall in nature. Stunning. Next you should just post a video of the table on a turntable just slowly and seductively showing off the beauty of this amazing piece of art. It’s hard to look away. Well done.

New, great work!!!! I hope the person lucky enough to get it, loves it just as much as you do!

[@eegarim]

New, although that old one, that looks like a type of fungi, is really cool also.❤

[@SiaD777]

This has to be called the waterfall table! Love it ❤ And I choose old AND new because it's an impossible Sophie's choice, haha.

[@tonywillans7556]

Yep, waterfall table is what came to my mind when looking at this table.

[@donaldadams5342]

'New' has to be the number one for me. It was a pretty bold experiment that showed if you have good woodworking skills you can venture out into other mediums & they will work. I know I am late viewing this project but I would have called it 'Sunstroke'. It was fantastic to watch the 'sun at work' to warm up the slab & bend it 'so gracefully'. Love the wooden leg, it gives he project another dimension & the wooden coasters added a touch of 'class'. Well done, Don from South Australia.

I am old and I like old but I do appreciate your work and find it fascinating.

[@carolsugarbaker450]

I actually like both of them. The old and the new. Love your videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@gulcecicekbalak783]

I'm an int design student and this might be the coolest piece of furniture that I've seen recently, absolutely love it. Kudos to you

[@eitantal726]

Relax. It's literally just a bent square with rounded corners. Aim higher, friend

I love that your wife was involved. Her reaction to the pour was brilliant. This project is amazing and got me reaching for my epoxy straight away. Thank you. X

[@gonzobanjax8857]

New… no question. Please send your wonderful table to my wife on the other side of the world in New Zealand. By the way, I know you are really Matthew McConeughey.

New table is SICK man

I'm an amateur woodworker and am completely enthralled at your work and the audio that goes with it. Very inspired by you.
