    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.

  • @Andrew-xc2zi
    @Andrew-xc2zi Před rokem +822

    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!

      @@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.

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.

    Wow! I'm amazed. It turned out SO beautiful. I think the result was definitely worth the effort. I was surprised to hear that the acrylic slab had cured for a year and half before you tried to bend it. I don't know much about acrylic, so that was incredible to hear. As much as I love the OLD table, I love the NEW table as well. Actually, I think part of the reason I love the NEW table so much is because it was certainly more effort. I think you should update the description to include the name you chose from the comments and who won the table, or at least a link to the video where you tell us. Thank you so much for sharing your work with the world.

    New end table is awesome! Don’t pay any attention to the individuals that say you are not a true woodworker. You are a high caliber artisan that uses wood as a medium. Anyone can make plain and simple wood projects, but a true artist like yourself is on a much higher level. Love your channel and all the cool projects and content you provide.

    You shouldn't worry about what others say about your woodworking skills most people just copy one another . You are more of an artist which takes more skill than just making something that someone has already done. Keep doing what you're doing I think your art work is great 👍💯 in the future if you have a table you're giving away send it my way 🙏

You should name the Table after your wife, she seemed to have a pretty big influence on it and I’m sure she’d be flattered to have such an awesome table named after her(or super offended that you’d compare her to a table, there’s always a gamble). This is definitely one of my favorite works you’ve done so far and I’m stoked asf to see what you do with the mammoth tusk

      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 CZcams 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!

    It's usually hard for me to sit all the way through these long wood working videos, even when the end product is very unique or beautiful. Not sure why, but a lot of channels just don't do it for me. This was one of the few times I was actually very interested and sat through the whole thing. I think your commentary really adds a lot to the video! What a lovely table.

    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!

I am a 60 year old somewhat handicapped man that has been playing around with wood/epoxy projects for about a year and a half. Due to our climate, my disability and my very limited work space, I can only dream of gaining some of the skill that you demonstrate in every build of yours that I have watched. This project blew my mind as I'm sure many others as well. I'm going to enroll in your tutorials in the coming weeks, in hope of aquiring enough pointers to make a project that I can be proud of. Thank you for being such an inspiration. Sincerely; Dan.

    New
    table type name nomination: Clamped Ledge table
    I'm not sure if the felt clamp is unique to this table or if you've done it before, but the idea of clamping a leg to the epoxy, with a felt groove, is so cool to me.
    Could also call it a Floating Ledge? Either way the L shape could apply to many types of tables, not even just curved epoxy. A 90-degree fully wood construction would also be nice.
    Maybe the curved variant is Clamped Slide table?
    a sharp edge would be called a Clamped Ledge table?

    'New' has to be the number one for me. It was a pretty bold experiment that showed if you have good woodworking skills you can venture out into other mediums & they will work. I know I am late viewing this project but I would have called it 'Sunstroke'. It was fantastic to watch the 'sun at work' to warm up the slab & bend it 'so gracefully'. Love the wooden leg, it gives he project another dimension & the wooden coasters added a touch of 'class'. Well done, Don from South Australia.
