- I cover some PRO techniques of how to create compound organic surfaces using Elmers FoamCore/ FoamBoard the right way, how not to cut and bend the stuff and how to take things to the next level and improve your quality and craftsmanship. I make a simple 4"x4" compound surface out of foam core with out using hot glue!
Good for everything from architects to engineering, exhibit designers to interior designers and of course Industrial design.

This completely blew my mind! I remember my teachers trying to teach us how to work with foam core way back when I was in art school, but they didn't share anything like this, or even your advanced foam core techniques! This fantastic stuff...thank you for sharing!
"White glue gives me strength!" - Eric Strebel, 2017.
In many many years, when you write your memoirs, the first sentence you write down is "When i first tried white glue, i immediately felt strength rush through my body. I was nearly invincible".
To hell with Red Bull, it's White Glue time.
Siana Gearz Awesome, Here's to white glue, have a drink on me :-) Thanks for your great comment and support, er, I mean strength....
You. Are. The. King.
Great stuff buddy! I'm hoping for success in your channel. You do what you do very very well! Cheers!
Wow you killed it! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I learned a lot.
i did like it thought hit me that could be made to be air and fluid dynamic you got the brains bubby for sure. with enough though you could brake threw about any element you wanted .
That is so cool! Thanks for sharing this.
cleaaan! Thank you Eric
GREAT PRODUCT...
I don't know if you made a video about this, but one of the things that annoyed me the most during my modeling was the inablity to make crisp and clean holes ( for windows or other openings)... it didnt matter the amount of passes i made with the scalpel, for some reason it wouldn't cut the cardboard face on the other side and i would always cut through with an angle... after i pushed the piece out, i would get a mess of around the edges of the hole with messed up foam and hairs of cardboard, regardless of the size of the cut hole and if just changed the blade....i thought i could polish the edge with a piece of sandpaper, but it turned out to be a stupid idea that made things worse...
English is not my native language but i do hope u understand what i am talking about. I also do value a lot your expertise on the subject and hope to get some guidance from you.
Brilliant.
Have you considered doing this with a triangular grid? Would the additional cuts lend any additional flexibility, and is it worth it?
nice video series! Im just a young student punk- but I was wondering how you would make a little hole- Like the diameter of a pencil?
With great glue comes great strength
How small/large can you make the grid? Is it dependent on the thickness of the foam board? Also can you just cut lines into it if you only want it to flex in one plane?
you can make it whatever size you want depending upon the material that you're using you'll have to do a little experimenting for thicker material versus thinner material
1 What brand of exacto do you use?
2 Does that matter?
3 How often do you change the blade?
4 How many blades do you keep on hand?
Ty for vids, very helpful
1: I added a link in the description 2: Yes, I think so 3, as needed to get a good sharp cut 4: I buy them in pack of 100
@@EricStrebel Thank you sir 👍
Maybe, EVA would be better for this, because grid has its own (structural) purpose
Possibly
hey i subscribed because your vids show me just what i want and need with respect to model building with one exception; how to cut round holes accurately , i.e. like windows with round tops or round windows. is there a method or tip or technique to doing so well.?? thanks in advance
Well, as I stated, a laser cutter would be the best for circles. I don't have one, so I have to cut them by hand. Print out a paper template and hold the blade at 90 degrees. I end up using the spindle sander to make the inside circles as round as possible, or the belt sander like in the video for outside circles. Circles are not an easy thing, but practice makes you better.
Hiya, thanks for the video! What are the weights you use called and where do you get them please
They are left over steel stamping tools that I used for a glass prototype. Custom made for me. Thanks for the comment, and your support, feel free to share on social media.
Thank you, that is cool.
i know this is probably a stupid question but in making Buck parts a contour gauge is used, do you ever use one Eric? its the old way of taking a 3,d profile of someone or something. now days you could just scan the object but you gotta be made out of money to do that.
Sometimes a contour gauge use but it depends on what the goal of the project is and what you need to do so every case is different
@@EricStrebel well it hit me to ask i got some projects on the back burners of my brain my american take on the old Italian speed boat you know the ones im planning to make it lower and wider and a shallower birth to be honest scale it down all together. 4 man no bigger.
im not going to keep it though it will be for sale and i plan to record the process to command a higher price. there are some types that collect the finer things in life if i can show it was built with love and attention i can name my price to the right buyer
a buck and plied strips of wood and shoulder joints and such acrylics it will be tough as nails and beautiful all at the same time is see you using a autoclave i had something like that in mind as well a heat gun would do but i want it to be perfect.
i even mean to try my hand at engraving to emboss the metal trim i plan to use. a series of sea dragons i think . so if there's a buyer im calling the shots, reasonable of course .hence the question .
I wounder if can make a helmet with foam core ? ......
Liked video. Thanks. Where can I get the square and weights and other tools you show?
The square I got on ebay from Japan. The weight are custom machined tools left over form a glass blowing job.
Motorhead ❤
Where did you buy the foam core?
Art supply store to get good stuff
what is the square that you use?
Link is in the description, purchases help support the cannel.😀
That's not a compound surface. It's bent around one axis while a compound surface is bent around two or more axes resulting in a convex or concave surface.
Yes, it is bent in two Axis
1:14 "Let me show you how you make organic surfaces", and then add a speed up video that teaches nothing because nobody can follow it. And on top of that, instead of explaining what is going on, just spend the voice over talking about how good you are. Great tutorial guide
Lol, pay attention you might learn something.
@@EricStrebel lol The video was made to be a tutorial (it is even on its title). And as far as tutorials go, it is not good. Sorry, but criticism is part of the game.
Yes, it is a tutorial....thanks for the feedback
What's with the background music, do you seriously hate your voice or do you want to show us you know how to overlay music?
Older video, iMovie and TH-cam had audio issues, should be fine with good speakers, newer videos made with FCP don't have that issue. Crappy laptop or mobile devices don't help the issue.
@@EricStrebel let me check the newer ones.
all that work for a simple curve please stop acting like an expert and throwing in the remark about being consulted by nascar thats an odd dodge no one could prove.Youd be better off saying Boeing asked your advice on contructing one of their planes. NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL! It's a compound curve BTW. 😀
Wow, rude comment for someone who came do his TH-cam channel to WATCH what he had to say!
Sok, I appreciate the response @saadsabit9665 lots of jealous trolls out there, no worries, just keep doing what you do best. Rock on!
