@@ariyanadumon4549 I've been there soooo many times... I remember staring at a painting without touching it with a brush for up to an hour a day for MONTHS. Eventually it just hit me and by the time I finished it I couldn't even put it up for sale. I couldn't believe how beautiful it turned out to be and I realized that I had been through too much with that thing to let it go. It might take some time, but remember that it's 100% worth it!

For future builds you can order uncoated paper sheets 38 x 50. Also, you could probably got to most local printers and they would love to sell you paper without having to do anything to it.

[@TorturdChaos]

Print shop owner here - this is absolutely true. Most paper can be ordered in master sheets around 24x35 to 38x50. You can also get rolls of 20# uncoated bond in difficult colors.

[@msudawgma]

​@TorturdChaos , just out of curiosity, what is the solution the paper is "bonded" with?

[@TorturdChaos]

@@msudawgma "Bond" paper isn't bonded with anything. It refers to basic paper with no coatings or extras. What you would normally feed into a copier. The name comes from the fact when invented it was a higher quality paper and commonly used for government bonds. Now it is considered standard or entry level paper.

TRUST THE PROCESS

[@olorin3815]

I dont think trusting the proccess worked for 76ers

[@simmyjester]

4:39 I really get that, dude. My primary hobby is crochet and I just wind up making big square or hexagon blankets in the same stitch because I enjoy that. I loved doing prescription data entry all day back when that was an option at my work, and now I'm at a big central fill pharmacy manually filling prescriptions that can't be done by robots. It's repetitive as all get out, but it's great. It's a simple, steady motion that I can do while listening to podcasts and daydreaming about Star Wars. I totally get the paper thing or things like it. :)

[@3monthbender]

Trust the Process. Something I learned in art school - about 2/3 - 3/4 of the way through a project, there's likely to be a point that you HATE whatever it is you're working on and you just want to give up and set fire to the whole thing; but if you stick to it, trust the process, and keep going, 9 times out of 10 it comes out in the vicinity of what you were trying for.

[@alinejoyce77]

Love your work and your videos are super helpful. For those talking about environmental stuff I’m an artist and work with discarded items and make them into antique style historical works. I’ve been using found/recycling cardboard and laminating it with PVA - there’s a product called EcoPoxy that I’m keen to see more about and that would def help. (Heinously expensive tho). Also I reckon it would be cool to see woodshavings and paper shreds into a paste with epoxy to sculpt with. Also recommend using a chip brush with stippling technique for epoxy - similar to how you might fibreglass and marine work ….aaaand you could use yak hair instead of fibreglass (similar to lime plaster technique). You could also use polyester fabric - from op/charity shops instead of paper. Save heaps from landfill. Happy making! *also I fully support your ridiculously complex process because I do that with my work. *also - it’d be better to rip big sheets of paper and overlap so the soft edge blends and bonds more easily. ❤

I am a First time visitor to this channel. Having been a long-time subscriber over at Blacktail Studio, where Cam produces some of the most beautiful work I've had the joy of watching him create, I guess it was only a matter of time until I found your channel. What a find indeed! Watching you create this one-of-a-kind desk/table with a sheer determination to overcome the many glitches that occurred along the way, using the most unconventional of materials, was such a pleasure. The finished article is mind-blowing, to say the least. I am actually in awe of the beauty of this creation. I have subscribed. How could I not? I look forward to binge-watching all of your previous uploads with anticipation. Keep up this great work. Like Cam, you have an incredible talent for the projects you undertake, but unlike Cam, you show a flair for the entertaining way you share it with your audience. I wish you nothing less than a fruitful, happy future. May God Bless you and your family, Connor Macleod.

Micarta is not made with epoxy. It is made with phenolic resin. True micarta as originally made by westinghouse or now by the American paper company, is made by saturating fabric or paper with phenolic resin and pressing it in a heated hydraulic press. Actual micarta is based on bakelite plastic. It is heat resistant, non flammable, and was developed as an electrical insulator. Many of the companies that make Micarta actually make table tops. A lot of fast food restaurants use micarta tables and benches. They are a lamination of paper, wood veneers and plastic laminates like formica for the surface.

I'm not sure if putting all than energy and water that goes into making paper from wood to waste by not using the paper as paper but treating it with chemicals and using it as wood could be considered more eco friendly than just using wood in the first place, but the look of the table can make it worth it. Cool video either way!

[@zwitshr]

If one would use old collected paper from e.g. newspapers, that's a whole different thing

It's definitely not, especially now its impossible to recycle.

[@gaexionbeoulve2422]

Nice work. It would have been faster to shred the colored paper into a slurry and mix it into the epoxy then pour it in layers.

Jonny, I know the chance you will read this is slim, but epoxy is non recyclable and it's likely making the planet worse. Also it's synthetic just like any other plastic and it's made from oil.

[@humansizedbirdnest9435]

[@frostyphrog4593]

The way to recycle paper is to blend it up into a paper pulp and then lay it out flat and dry it. I feel like if you were to blend a lot of paper, mix it with epoxy (or resin or whatever it is I can't remember the word), and then spread it over the area you want: maybe with a frame or something to hold its shape sort of like a mold. Then you'd be able to do this a lot more efficiently ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ it might make a cool second attempt for another paper furniture project

I like how this looks, I have a suggested addition, if you ever make a table like this again. Some sort of LED lights in the ripples, programmed to go from the center and out. Or they could be solid lit, or even turned off, but the Option of LEDs in this, would be cool.

[@timothyvandyke9511]

Love the table, but it would have been better for the environment to just use wood FYI. You added a ton of processing, shipping, and plastic to what could have just been wood.

6:56 let's be clear... Those sheets of paper are not a necessary byproduct like you're talking. They are the product. You aren't saving the environment, you're just justifying being the part of the demand that allows a business to continue creating a less than necessary product.

[@YoUtUbEhAnDlEsArEgReAt]

It's good to see an environmentalist supporting Amazon, buying up rolls and sheets upon sheets of paper, not reusing all that plastic and gallons of epoxy for a table top. Personally, I use baby seal fat for car fuel. Go team Erf! Your daughter definitely won't grow up thinking you're an idiot.

[@JadedArsenic]

Converting Paper into a Tree: run it through a shredder, toss it in a good bit of water & blend. Press out the water & let dry. Then break it up into mulch-sized chunks. Put it in a bucket, with a seed, and perhaps some Miracle Grow. Water occasionally and let it have plenty of daytime sunlight. In a few years it will start to become a tree again. When the roots start to outgrow the bucket, dig a hole outside big enough for the bucket. Remove the tree & remaining paper-mulch and plant. (congratulations, you have just participated in using up a tonne of time and resources to do what Nature does in forests worldwide.)
