Having spent 15 years working in a school shop class environment, you are demonstrating good woodworking skills in the use of foam core. Those v’s in the curved part can be achieved with solid wood by making a series of kerf cuts, which allows the outside to bend easily. Nice tutorial! Thank you. Subbed.

It's because of the intro. The "X" sound is unpleasant, and the approach is a bit too harsh for a video targeted toward beginners. "Then this video is not for you." Oh word? Then who's it for? People who already know foam core basics? Then to show a picture of himself folding his arms with a personal introduction... I can imagine the internal reasoning for all these creative moves, but still it comes off the wrong way. That's insulting the audience, albiet unintentionally. I kept watching only because I'm eager to learn this stuff. I'm not thumbing down these videos. Just explaining why I imagine someone would. That said, thanks for making these.

I'm really enjoying theses foamcore videos, brings back lots of memories of working in and running graphic arts shops in the 90s. We used a lot of foamcore and gatorboard of course for mounting artwork but also for package design proofing too. I can remember the specialised tools we had, Xacto and Olfa made most of them like bevel cutters which were essentially a block that held a blade or two on an angle. We also had a huge Xacto panel cutter and various heat and cold mounters. There were other adhesives too, one came as flat sheets or rolls of a material that looked like a dryer sheet which was dry and not sticky at all until you hit it with heat gun or tacking iron another was rubber cement that was good for foam to foam and lastly 3M '77' that awful spray stuff that got everywhere but could occasionally do wonders. I like seeing your personal design work best but these tutorials are fun.

So for me, the OLFA Heavy duty Snap-off Knives with an 18mm blade is the best, and then I buy the high quality blade for that, its like a darker grey. It might be more knife than you need for the scale you work at but whats great is you can snap off the bad edge slide the blade up and keep working. Love the video's Eric.

I’m so happy I stumbled upon your videos. Do you have any suggestions for someone like me to get started practicing skills I’ll be learning once I transfer into a university? I’m a comm college student now and they don’t have any classes that have anything involve in industrial design, only my gen eds.

Angela Euth studying is substitute for practice, go for it, start with what you like to do, draw everyday and practice your thinking and sketching, take stuff apart and figure out how it's put together then redesign it and make it better. Glad you like the videos, feel free to share on social media. Cheers

Hi ERic. New subscriber here. I want to make fiberglass instrument panel for my boat. I like seeing your skill at make forms. Is it possible to fiberglass over these forms for a strong structure? Thanks for your efforts.

Donald Langlois yes, you could. glass the back side as well to seal it. Use marine epoxy too.

Good video! Can I assume these same techniques could be used on drywall?
