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.

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.

[@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]

[@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.

[@youngpolar]

[@user-hp4tv5mh5o]

That old or new is such an apples vs. oranges question! I love both. Swapping them totally changes the whole space.

So I'm eating my own words from my previous comment on your blue wood table, because I never thought I'd ever be willing to purchase blue furniture and I would totally buy this! I love how it fades from the dark to the lighter blues. It's gorgeous. You know, a blue bar made in this style would look awesome too!

Hope there is some Zebra wood left!

That was an amazing and adorable project. Very modern and unique!

[@TheRobertohz]

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.

it's like a modern art-deco waterfall table. I love the design and the color gradient! I can see it being placed on a white shag rug. I'd love to have something like that in my home!

I'm amazed at your talent. A gift from G.j of that you've worked at through discipline and I'm going to stretch here a bit but tedious hours and tenacity brought you here. 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!

Both old and new... "Sun Kissed" would be good for this style as it isn't color dependent. I like how you don't edit out the flaws, proves how difficult this is but also how you can remedy them.

If someone says that you aren’t a real wood worker just watch they’re channel (if they even have one ) and I can guarantee you that the “haters” are usually nobodies and that’s the main reason why you should keep doing this great tables/videos , get filthy rich from them and keeps posting cause I already watched all of your videos , keep it up and great channel !

The new is nicer because of its blue contemorary shape. The documented amount of effort put into the piece adds to its provinance. Definately gallery quality piece. Thanks for sharing its creation. Vin

[@peterward3303]

mate, your work is out of this world, you are a great woodworker that does not mind thinking out of the square and takes chances, and I love the fact that you talk all the way through your videos, love all your work.

[@matthewwinebrenner6199]

I have never commented on any of your projects, but I needed to with this one. First thing is to comment " NEW " because this is one of the neatest tables I have ever seen. It's just really blew me away on how you were able to do this. I'm a beginner with the woodworking and at the age of 61, I've been watching your videos and a few others just to get ideals and thoughts to continue with, I also incorporate wood burnings into what I do as a unique design element that most people don't do that I've come across at least. The old end table that you had there was sweet but this acrylic one I just believe it went over the top as far as looks and Design. Keep up the good work and the new ideals sincerely Matthew Winebrenner

[@timclifton7098]

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

[@christiandrouin9460]

Amazing work. As much as I like epoxy, I think the old told is a keeper, but the new one makes me want to try to make my next office desk, using your technique. Keep up the amazing videos. Thanks

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

New! Awesome build Cam. The microfibre spot during polishing is definitely from the plastic “memory”. We used to have this happen when we used chill epoxy which was soft without heat. We would leave tables on sticks, the epoxy would dent, we would sand flush, and then the epoxy would push back up where it was previously dented!

[@BlacktailStudio]

Oh really?? Thanks Dylan, that makes me feel better

[@curlygrain4389]

We did this in high school woodwork class. Bent some steel wire into a shape/logo/initials and clamped it into oven heated Perspex. Then sanded it down and heated it again to make the shape pop back up

[@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

[@helenzacchia8910]

James Jim. You are very talented. Has this beautiful gift been given away?

[@vickybolduc8293]

Wow so nice!❤️ Thanks for all the comments you gave during your videos!

[@LJmangano]

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.
