this is amazing Thanks David!

Wow!! Great table. I live in a van in Vancouver Bc Canada. I'm thinking of going to live in a minivan. I was thinking, could cardboard, if I use multiple layers, like 4 to 10 layers, be a good insulator?

Darn, I was hoping you would tell me what kinds of clay I can use to start with as the piece to carve. Could you please provide that info? I’ve been searching. I read articles and discover they are not creating PLASTER molds, which is my desire. I’m disabled but have a passion for making “tools.” I recently discovered that people like to have stamps to use to decorate their ceramic creations. I’m exploring the idea of being able to create stamps and reproduce them. It would be easier if I had easy access to a kiln, but I don’t.

Wonderful and helpful info, I'm always working with cardboard trying to make it strong and durable for crafts, one thing I would love to do is to make it waterproof, that would be even better when it comes to sculpting garden figures or outdoor furniture. Do you have any ideas?

Thank you sir, bought some for my kids and needed a guide

What happens if your clay is already fired?

Love it! Cardboard is my favorite building material.

Thank you! I shall use this info to build a cat tree. Our panther is a big boy with adhd, so sturdy yet cheap seem the perfect solution. Can I use some non-toxic glue? (He will bite and chew anything.) Cheers!

I was looking fo cardboard plywood and Im glad I found this.

Thank you for the advice about setting the project on a piece of wood.

Will a gas oven be of any use?

Toy clay!?

Thank you!!

For the flat sheets, what would happen if I bonded all the sheets...THEN cut them with woodcutting tools? Would the sheets delaminate or catch on the saw? For that, I would probably use a different adhesive so that the adhered surfaces would be uniform in texture and thickness.

Thank you very much for such a helpful video! Best wishes to you from the UK!

Excellent content.

Simple and too the point, Thanks :D

So can I painted before I cook it or wait

Hey! I just found your channel.. It's great! I have subscribed. You're very good teacher. And You're informative and interesting. I'm so excited I've discovered you on youtube.

A great hands-on explanation of structural engineering. Thank you.

3M can't spray glue would probably work better and so would wood glue and you could even water down the wood glue to make it more quantity

Gracias🎉

Really good sense. Adding a layer of packaging paper with a good paste (cellulose plus PVA) improves the appearance and adds greater strength. A presentation suggestion - an occasional smile would enhance the delivery! Remember, it’s FUN.

Will polymer clay bond to wood if I mold the clay onto it? What I'm making would require the clay to be on both sides of the wood, but not wrapped around totally encasing the wood. Much of the wood gets left exposed for the finished product. I'm trying to find something that would harden better then what I'm currently using now. That being, wood putty. I stated thinking, "isn't there a clay product that would work better for what I'm doing?" So there you have it, my search is on lol. I've never worked with clay but thought it could be the answer. Just unsure of what kind? I also need to be able to sand and paint after it's fully hardened. If you have any thoughts or suggestions I'd love to hear them. Thanks

that is not durable you are gluing just surfaces that after a while will delaminate, also you are using thermic glue that other than being not environmental friendly is harder than the cardboard and rigid so you are having and harder body pulling - stretching a soft cardboard surface...

the chair and ottoman you made are so cute!

Basically that´s what IKEA does with most of it´s furniture just on an industrial level. This example is pretty good. You can coat the whole thing with shellac at the end and make it really strong and sturdy and also sand and paint it, so you can even make real furniture out of it and nobody would be able to tell it is not just painted cardboard.

Very helpful, thanks!!

Love this! Thank you.

Great video, thank you so much 🌹

Thank you!

I did this and literally almost burned the whole house down! And i took it out early😩

275 F (preheat) 15 to 30 min 😊 Let it cold down Done ✅

if one is to paint or whatever it is called , what type of paint or glaze should one use?

Can you design a ramp using triangles that can support the weight of a car?

I wanna work with you

I really love you

Can you put projects in to bake if they have that sculpting wire inside them?

Thank you. Could you make the version without a glue by hooks?

Thanks dude, already baking my piece

Great idea

Dave, you are freaking awesome! Do you mean creating "Honeycomb structures strengthening the structure?"

Answered my questions thank you.

I have natural clay and I can't find specific instructions for how to bake it. I saw that 135°C and 10 mins per inch is good for polymer but some other place says 87°C and 30-45 mins per inch. What's the difference between polymer and natural clay. Can someone help me? What should I do

Thank you for making this video. It was very helpful. I do have 1 question.... What happened to the box for the parchment paper?

How swee

Nothing on this is "super" nor "thought" nor "perfectly fitted" nor "engineered", very poor work.

Nice work. Thank you for the explanations. My students will now build some cardbaord furniture. Arigato.
