How to Make a Forged Carbon Fiber Table Top [DIY] (Forged Carbon Fiber Skinning)

[@thinhdiezel]

Guys ! The best channel about carbon fiber on KZbin is here!

[@thebigdustin]

I love the texture of "Forged" carbon fiber. It gives me an idea to do kitchen counter-tops using this method. It has a "Black Granite" quality about it. Looks cool!

[@Freedom_is_better_than_safety]

Pro tip for ya: When working with MDF, use a sanding sealer on all the surfaces. It’s cheap, and it doesn’t change its shape or properties, but it does “seal” it when pouring resins or epoxies or even painting it. It’s very easy to use, dries fast, and once keyed, provides the same adhesion as the raw MDF in my opinion. Love the channel!

[@ECOLAPStudio]

Hello, Buddy! Thank you very much for your advice. I'll try it the next time I work with MDF. I'm will make a fun and informative video. Stay tuned to my channel. Thank you.

You should start using foam cores on some of your projects. In this case a foam wrapped table would weigh WAY less. Love your channel!

[@Lolatyou332]

This is what I've been planning on doing. Only problem is that it limits where you can screw it and you will also need to apply carbon fiber to the bottom of the table. You will have to create a mechanical lock or use glue to allow screws to be used.

[@vocks85]

@@Lolatyou332 could you drill holes in the bottom, fill with epoxy or carbon epoxy mix, and tap it? Or you could just drill holes and install rivnuts?

[@Lolatyou332]

@@vocks85 best case, you would install a metal nut that would be mechanically locked when the carbon fiber is hardened. Most feasible case is just to use rivet nuts as it would make a mechanical lock. The rivet nut becomes a potential failure point, but in reality, furniture really doesn't need that level of strength.

If you want narrow weave go narrow. With forged carbon its not the same as continuous weave. Its cosmetic not structural. Pick the cloth that has the look that you are trying to achieve. It will be light and look great, but dont count on it being any stronger than the epoxy bound with

[@joebloggs4191]

I just watched this video for a second time and still that forged carbon fiber looks real good! One question regarding the finishing, on this video I see you sanded and then used a cutting compound to get the high gloss shine but I have seen in other videos after sanding people apply 2k clear lacquer. Question is which more durable and better for car interior pieces, sanding and then cutting and buffing the epoxy resin or sanding the then applying the 2k lacquer?

[@firtree9131]

이번 영상도 잘 봤습니다! 전에 만드신 카본 테이블보다 카본이 덜 들어가나요? 카본 소비량이 궁금하네요! 아 그리고 7분 7초에 나오는 흰색빝같은거 구매처좀 알수있을까요?

안녕하세요. MDF 판재 위에 스키닝이 된 것이라 테이블 자체로의 강성에는 문제가 없습니다. 그러나 MDF 판재가 없다면 그 강성이 테이블로 사용하기에는 조금 부족할거라고 생각합니다. 하지만 실제로는 생각 이상의 카본이 많이 들어가서 롤러와 필플라이에 의해서 압축이 되어있습니다. MDF 없이 테이블을 만들려면 카본으로 내부를 채운다면 그것은 상상 이상의 비용이 들어가고 허니컴코어나, 매트코어 등 내부를 채울 수 있는 코어 재료를 사용하면 강성과 비용 모두 만족시킬 수 있을거라고 생각합니다.(그렇다고 재료가 저렴하진 않습니다) 포지드 카본 룩이라기보다는 얇은 포지드 카본 플레이트라고 보시면 되지 않을까 생각해봅니다.
