DIY Micarta Black Burlap

[@kingpurell3406]

Every day is a good day when Blackbeard uploads😁😁

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks man :)

[@turbomonkeyexpress]

Who would have known Burlap could look so nice!

[@BlackBeardProjects]

:D

[@antonx9099]

Grandissimo. Stavo restaurando una vecchia mannaia da macellaio e ero indeciso sul tipo di legno da usare per il manico. Mi hai dato l’ispirazione per fare un lavoro migliore. Grazie Bro👍

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Grazie a te carissimo :) Mi fa molto piacere!

[@newby847]

Amazing!! Never seen a more efficient video covering any “how to” on KZbin. Are you a God?

[@danielmartinezcaravia6577]

Fantástico, una pregunta,la resina esa sirve para pegar las cachas de los cuchillos también?? Para no tener que comprar más pegamentos ..gracias y saludos

[@callumkristofer7793]

Watching this while listening to Rip & Tear... An interesting experience.

[@Tom_Samad]

This would look awesome as a pen blank.

[@SUPERMAR10312]

This turned out amazingly.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks! That's an interesing idea! With the corrugated part sideways right?

[@SUPERMAR10312]

I've had an idea similar to this where I would use epoxy and corrugated cardboard to make knife scales. I'd love to see you make that.

[@gregmaggert8561]

Your video skills are amazing then and now

[@Makercise]

I want to try this now.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Haha! :')

[@muddyfences5559]

I can't wait to see this one.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Me too :') Thank you

[@Nerdforge]

Great idea! Looking forward to see the knife!

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you my friend :) :) coming very soon! (possibly today) lol

[@natureboyricflair8555]

Looks so much better than mass production micarta!

[@AlumiTube]

You are a magician when it comes to making your one tools :) great video... btw BB are you satisfied with the A8 3D printer so far... :)

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you brother :) Yeah! I mean, for how cheap you can get one you can't beat it :) It needs a lot of tweaking and upgrades to make good looking prints but it's part of the fun for me :)

[@hideouseblob955]

It looks really great , if you use steel plates on the top and the bottom you won't get those divots from the clamps

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Yep! :) Would be better!

[@ГерманПетри]

That was pretty motivational. Thanks! Now I wanna get back to work.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Haha! :')

[@George-fo7yw]

Always entertaining to watch.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you :)

[@coonea1]

Nicely done. I like how the pigmented resin really brings out the burlap pattern. Don't sweat peoples comments about bubbles. That material should make some awesome scales. Or, I should say, MADE some great scales (video like 5 years old, lol).

[@georgdifalco3430]

I was making a knife and decided to use something different for the handle, so I cam back to this video, but I am just not sure what type of dye you used, was it for clothes? Or something similar....

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Hi Georg! I used pigment from a laser printer, as far as I know any dry and fine colorant would work for this :)

[@FargoFX]

Nice! Can't wait to see it on a knife.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you :) Coming very soon!

[@JunkWorkshop]

Very Nice texture! Waiting to see on a badass knife handle. Great job Bro

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you man! :) Knife coming very soon ;)

[@opasworkshop8373]

Nice job my friend that's really rugged looking.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks man :)

[@AquaDragon6629]

Great video again dude :)

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks man :)

[@GodseyKnives]

I made my second batch a while back used some antique white card stock at the last when put on knife looks like ivory liners . Good video man !

[@EpicWorkshop]

Great work bro, cannot wait to see it on the knife 😊😄

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you my friend :)

[@williamkang9475]

How is the toughness? Is it similar to linen or canvas micarta? Or is it weaker?

[@gianpreisner]

That's why I love your channel so much! It's always usefull stuff in some way! Awesome vid mate!

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you a lot man :) :)

[@David-sc8fl]

Awesome idea! It looks very great and the material is cheap. Well done! Greetings Dave

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks Dave!! :)

[@Michael-mk8nf]

this music just hearts my ears

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Tastes... xD

[@vasilieiossotiropoulos5834]

the final result seems just fine. I have a question though, if you know, is there any difference in the final result if you use polyester instead of epoxy resin?

[@TristanBehrens]

What gave you the idea for this? It looks cool

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Micarta is a common material for knifemaking :) Thank you!

[@TristanBehrens]

+Black Beard Projects I've used micarta many times but I have never seen that kind of patterning. What gave you the idea of using burlap?

[@metroplexchl]

Very cool! I wonder if you could dye the burlap black first and then put it in the resin so the brown burlap doesn't show. It does look kind of cool that way too though.

[@chickendrumstick1569]

Perfect material for my knives bro!👊

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Haha! :)

[@oneshotme]

So did it cost more or less if you would have bought it??

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Resin is pretty expensive, got the can you see here for 22€, but burlap is very cheap and I got the pigments from an used printer toner. I guess I can make at least 10 blocks with the resin I have, so I would guess it cost me not more than 3.5 € each :) The only store where I can find micarta locally sells black burlap for 30.35€ a piece+shipping! (not joking) :') So yeah much less

[@flyphishr]

What’s the container you put everything in, the black box thing? Thanks love yer channel!

[@attilafeher674]

Hey man, very nice, I like it. Why don't you try to use vacuum to get the bubbles out of the resin? Using an old compressor from a broken fridge will do the job as well. I use it to get out bubbles from casting material...

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks! :) I will try! I have a fridge pump already, just need to build the thing :')

[@attilafeher674]

Naah, no special task. Just a vessel that can be closed and a connection for the vacuum. The compressor have no special needs too, just connect the cables to the grid. Google is your friend :). Waiting for a new upload

[@rogaldorn605]

What did you put on the micarta to make it shine? Was it oil?

[@TristanDare]

Very cool! What do you think you'll make with it?

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks!! :) I'm planning a multi material handle for my next knife build :)

[@oneproudbrowncoat]

Wonder if it could be done with fine wire mesh (copper or brass), maybe?

[@andrewgoldstein1606]

Very nice. Where did you get the box?

[@BlackBeardProjects]

The box was 3D printed :)

[@stepcorngrumbleteats7683]

You might want to go to an air bag for more pressure, vacuum bagging gives VERY high quality pressure for veneering of all types.

[@georgdifalco3430]

How long did you wait for it to dry? Or did you just follow the back of the resin bottle ?

[@BlackBeardProjects]

I followed the istruction :) took 2/3 days to fully cure :)

[@alessandrothugknifeforhate4517]

mi puoi consigliare un trapano a colonna non molto expensive? il tuo che modello è? grazie

[@kee7678]

Very cool!!

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you :)

[@RobinCoomans]

Oh great! I was just thinking of making some micarta too :) Wanted to make some black and some paper micarta to get that bone/ivory effect. Nice one!!

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you again brother :)

[@xkratosxxxx7426]

What kind of box is that?? I need some for my carbon fiber work

[@serdark7706]

Hi, Is it cooking paper that you use in the box?

[@soundofnature31]

nice very good man

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you! :)

[@ski4jeepin]

That looks cool as frig! Can't wait to see the completed knife.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks Mike!!! :)

[@InkwellFoto]

Just to be sure, did you add the black pigment to part A of resin mix? Is the pigment oil based? And how did you measure out the pigment?

[@BlackBeardProjects]

I guess you can add the pigment to whatever part you want, I've never heard it makes any difference! :) the pigment I've used here is powder, usually you don't need much to color resin, but I'm no expert... You can start with little and work your way up to a color you like! :)

[@InkwellFoto]

Black Beard Projects thank you for the reply. Im looking to make a thicker micarta in purple for a pistol grip. I'm going to try and shape the pistol grip put of the block in attempt to have a built in thumb rest and magwell.

[@sbjennings99]

Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls

[@PaulsGarage]

That's a great idea! Looks really cool, I bet it'll look great with the dark woods

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks!! :) It does! :)

[@BenBlankenshipvo]

Where did you find the box you used for this? Or did you make it?

[@TheChrisWest]

love the tunes on this one ;)

[@adamwhite6003]

Nice video! Btw love the music ;)

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you my friend :) I was afraid of the music comments, so far only one xD

[@roboactive]

Haha, don't worry about the music comments, they usually just want something to bitch about. Keep up the good work. :D

[@SharkyMoto]

funny this looks exactly like an old cutting board i got from my grandma to use in the shop :D

[@BlackBeardProjects]

:') I can't wait to see how it looks on a knife!

[@derekwahkinney2276]

The box you use, what is it made of? Where did you get it?

[@tubezv]

Do you know what is a density of each material in this list? or where can I find this date? Micarta, G10, Carbon, Walnut wood, Zitel plastic, FRN plastic, Polypropylene.

[@josephrusyn9913]

How do manufacturers make scales where there is the natural shape/texture of the canvas on the finished knife? How do they not sand it flat like yours?

[@jachern]

good sound track...(name?)...and excelent micarta work

[@c3diy]

that 3d printed micarta press is really nice! I am curious tho, wich filament are you using? wouldn't it stick to it?

[@c3diy]

edit: nvm you protected it xD

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Ha! :) Used PLA, but it's too weak :( Already deformed the box xD

[@crispy-k]

Nice idea !

[@tango-bravo]

What kind of resin or epoxy do you use?

[@RatedeMods]

I had never seen this before ! is it to make resin knife handles ?

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Yep!! :) Pretty common material for knifemaking :)

[@copasetic216]

Nice. It's kind of like carbon fiber. But maybe not so strong... ha. Cool idea

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Hehe definitely :') Thanks man :)

[@tomasoscalzo1999]

Very cool!! Please do a Q&A

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Alright! I'll ask for questions in my next video :) (let's lee if there are any) lol

[@uv7pwh]

Sì vede che la mano è italiana. Bravo!

[@Fara_Bale]

Iscritto, sei un grande!

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Graziee!!

[@joolucass5]

Just a question where are you from? I read epoxi componente transparente in the beggining wich sound a lot like portuguese haha

[@110americalovingpatriot2]

What do you use that for?

[@larryw2973]

That’s so badass...how long did you leave the box clamped up before opening it back up?

[@71pieromat]

Stupendo!

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Grazie ancora!

[@tylerwalsh9020]

where can I get a block like this for clamping?

[@mattteichroeb1155]

Can charcoal be used for color?

[@luisplasencia9771]

excuse me can someone explaine me what does that object is used for?

[@jandastroy]

The last few knife builds he has had a colored strip (blue and red if I recall) inlaid between the wooden handle and the shank of the blade. Micarta can be used for all sorts of beautiful inlays.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Yep! :) I'll make a multi material knife handle soon with a piece of this micarta black soon :)

[@WarBerJr02]

Is micarta dishwasher safe?

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Yeah I think!

[@RAPTUR3WO1F18]

Can you do a samurai or a viking type of weapon build or casting vid again ples

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Alright! :)

[@OsmanAli-wr8kg]

can i make micarta using polyester resin ?

[@DustyKorpse]

Cool very cool, air bubbles, just extra grip man :)

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Haha! :')

[@br0k3nilluzion]

whered you buy this resin?

[@BlackBeardProjects]

On ebay :) che cheapest one I could find!

[@CamoGecko74]

Is that box made from wood?

[@chiragjiyani7056]

Awesome

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks!! :)

[@nicolaebarbieru3801]

What kind of oil did you used to make it shiny? If you polish it will be the same shiny result , or oil it is better ? Nice work by the way

[@KinuGrove]

is this actually cheaper then buying it ?

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Sure if you batch some. Not so sure for 1 or 2 :')

[@fnafplayer6447]

What is the mold you used

[@NA-rr7jl]

Can you lazer engrave burlap?

[@barbarascagliarini6180]

Come iscritto devo lamentare per il ritardo di questa pubblicazione ! Comunque il manufatto è geniale !

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Grazie :')

[@dennisyoung4631]

Red-brown transparent dye, and add much sawdust and shavings - for *tool handles.* ???

[@he-mansuncle7661]

That was awesome! Where did you get the pigment from? Also, congrats on your subscribers increase!!!! I remember when you were a little channel and thinking how does he not have more subscribers???? I just made some micarta from wood veneer, it turned out great! It's got the similar look of the "wood grain" Damascus! Next micarta is going to be either a comic book( either the punisher, spidey, or wolverine/X-Men) or the Walking Dead "novel", don't have any of the comics just the books of x amount of comics. I might do a couple of layers of a colored card stock to save the amount of comics needed and it'll also add some color next to the tang. Great video as always bud!!! Have you ever thought about getting your logo made for your knives and your wood work? I'm sure you've seen Glen GSTongs channel before, he knows a guy who has some legit skills when it comes to making the stamps. He recently showed the wood and leather stamp that has a heating element that comes with your stamp. It's definitely really cool looking and your logo would be awesome stamped on your projects!!!

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Haha! :) Thank you!! :) I got the pigment from an used laser printer toner. I really like you micarta ideas! :) Yeah I've seen some of his videos, I would like to! I've made 3d printed stamp with my logo for leatherworking, I could try to cast it and use it as burning stamp maybe :) Thank you again!

[@fabiox7254]

Sono anni che seguo questo genere di video.. e non mi era mai capitato di vedere video italiani di questo livello..( il commento non è legato in particolare a questo video ma ho visto che non hai I messaggi privati.. o non l’ ho trovato) non sarebbe mali poterli seguire in lingua originale.. anche perché si nota subito che non sei americano, o che quantomeno non vivi la.. la smerigliatrice del lidl e la bilancia si kasanova ti tradiscono.. comunque complimenti!!

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Grazie! :) Ci dovrebbe essere un pulsante per mandarmi un messaggio privato da qualche parte nelle informazioni del canale... Credo... Spero :') Per la lingua mi dispiace ma al momento mi concentro sulla community internazionale, che è spettacolare per quanto riguarda il making :) Grazie ancora e buone feste!

[@ThinKreaFaiDaTe]

Grande! 👍👍👍 come sempre gran video! Anch'io devo fare un lavoro con la resina e lo rimando da prima dell' estate... 😀😀😀

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Graize :) :) Anche io ho esitato parecchio prima di prenderla xD un pò costosa!

[@ThinKreaFaiDaTe]

Black Beard Projects mitico! Eh devo fare un tavolo da caffe è la parte danneggiata riempire con la resina effetto acqua.. dovrebbe venire un bel lavoro finito... adesso mi metto in moto per farlo 😀😀😀😀👍👍👍👍

[@timmoody4481]

Great music

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Glad you liked :)

[@jaarriaga1978]

There goes the table!

[@uruk-]

Love this DIY videos when it starts simple and kinda homemade then you have a 3500$ bandsaw xD

[@lez7875]

muito bom

[@NagelHausForge]

Very good demo! Question: What kind of pigment is that? I've been wondering how I can dye my resin for my handle scales. Thanks for the vids!

[@RoQu3]

Try black denim

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Yeah! I will :)

[@shepardw4981]

Can you use fiberglass resin instead of epoxy resin

[@jesuseosenhor4161]

Show man

[@evgenyivakhnik7344]

Many bubbles, use vacuum infusion and/or high air pressure camera

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Yeah I'll try with vacuum next :)
