- I made a dining table (or it could be a desk) from 5906 sheets of blue and black copy paper. Why? Because it seemed like a cool idea. This is probably the world's largest paper micarta slab ever built. Probably. There soooo many issues during the build, but I think this is the coolest table I've ever built. What do you think.

As an artist, the works that I manage to save after being on the brink of failure are the ones I tend to love the most. That piece is AMAZING and I'm sure the struggle made it that much sweeter...
Thanks for this, I've been struggling with giving up on a project. I needed the motivation today.
@@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!
@@ariyanadumon4549 Artist? Just give up. Theres too many of you. Digitally a.i is taking all the $. Soon some crap like tesla bots will be paint brushing everything.
@@Andytlpmy man instantly went off on a tangent about how artists should suck an egg or some shit for no reason lmfao
@@Andytlp holy, at least just respect them for BEING an artist
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.
Guess who's going to hell for praying in public? You are.@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist1
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.
@TorturdChaos , just out of curiosity, what is the solution the paper is "bonded" with?
@@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.
Great info @jamesa8851 & @TorturdChaos ! Thank you!
That came out SO much better than I expected. It actually looks insanely cool as a puzzling table!
TRUST THE PROCESS
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. :)
"Trust the process" is some of the most interesting things for me to witness like how artists tend to draw things that makes no sense to most of us but by the end of it it suddenly becomes a work of art
TRUST THE PROCESS
I dont think trusting the proccess worked for 76ers
WAY more beautiful than I thought this would end up being. TRUST THE PROCESS!
What a cool idea!! I’d love to see this done with recycled paper from an office or school. I’m not sure if the ink or pencil would interfere with the process. I imagine it would have an interesting look that would be a good conversation piece.
He could just take shredded discarded paper and turn it back into wood pulp, then vacuum press it with epoxy into particle board
@@Superabound2 Yes, but then there wouldn't be those color layers.
"I care about the environment, which is why I will soak paper in about two metric tons of plastic, which I will grind down to create about 1 ton of microplastics." 🤣🤣🤣
Would be awesome to see it a pool table.
Be quiet liberal
Cry about it. 😂🤡
@@thunder4772 Why would I? *I* don't care about the environment. But I also don't lie about it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Whoa, that pattern after the first flattening pass was awesome, looked like some sort of butterfly.
pervert
i had a similar thought, but my mind went to moth as it was less 'elegant' and more 'grunge' if that makes sense. still really cool that it was symetrical enough and had 'wings'
@@emi9643 For some reason my mind went to a less colorful Ultimate Warrior face paint.
Trust the process
It looked like a Fox to me
Trust the process. You and Cam at Blacktail Studio are by far my most favourite creators. You guys make me want to build a woodworking shop. Keep up the great work.
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.
Love seeing a vision come to life- especially after pushing past the brink of a dumpster edge. Absolutely beautiful! So glad you trusted the process.
This table along with the denim one from Blacktail Studio just far exceeded expectations. Great effort and a great result. Congratulations!
Trust the process. Will have to admit was kinda not sure about this when I started watching this video but this table turned out absolutely amazing has to be the most amazing and stunning table I’ve ever seen. Absolutely amazing job Johnny would love to own this one.
Trust the process!
The builders philosophy… love it. Well done! Greatings from Austria
That turned out awesome and so beautiful!! Congrats on your finish piece!!!❤❤❤
Trust the process!!
Your unique and amazing builds never cease to amaze me! So glad you didn’t scrap this when so many others probably would have.
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.

Trust the process! Love the finished product! Gorgeous table!
That's gorgeous!! I paint on silk, which involves layering layer upon layer of ink, and have totally learned to just trust the process.
This is a truly gorgeous piece. Such an unusually amazing idea of using paper. Absolutely beautiful and truly amazing job Johnny! "Trust the process"
Very nice but wasteful
No way i could put in as much time and effort as you, looks amazing! Trust The Process
Trust the process! I’m so glad you did because this table is INCREDIBLE!
Trust the process! I’m a graphic designer and work in a print shop and I hate to admit that I love paper…but I do! And this table…wow! If I won the lottery I’d commission you to make another…and I say win the lottery because wow I’d have to pay you a lot coz that looked like a ton of work…a few scaffolds but you really did trust the process! Amazing build! Great job! First video watch btw…I’m hooked! Thanks for sharing!
This is beautiful. I now want to make something like this for myself. You're inspiring people like me, so please keep it up!
6:55 while I do worry about plastic waste a lot, I can say there ARE ways to turn wood products into fresh new wood! Between doing things like microgrinding the wood or paper products so thin that the addition of a binder turns it into a hard material that is viable for, like, wood sculptures and what have you, but ALSO! you can cultivate a "Worm Garden" of sorta if you wanna section off an area of yarding, break up the soil a bit, shred paper and wood products, and add it to the soil and let the natural degradation of it turn it back into nutrients in the soil which can then grow a new tree.
Unfortunately that is not as viable with polymers like plastics and stuff, but we can ball out with wood all we want.
Thank you! He was getting really preachy knowing full well that resin and epoxy products do way more harm than good to the environment 🙄
@@nilibookworm truly nothing is ever as black and white.
Ooo that’s very interesting :) After seeing how resourceful metalworking is with its scraps, cuz if you save these you can just remelt them and have workable metal again, I had wondered if saw dust could be reused to any degree since almost any woodworking project makes a bunch of it and it always felt like a shame to just throw away all of that precious wood you know. Good to see that it can be put to good use, just hope people do save it for these kinds of things!
Trust the process this table is beautiful it's amazing how the designs worked and everything else it's just beautiful.
Trust the process! That was a truly remarkable build. You and Cam both have an awesome sense of humour which I can relate to.
This is gorgeous, I absolutely love the ripple pattern.
Stumbled into this video and could not look away. Had to watch until the end to see what you had created. This was such a time consuming process and you just kept on going. Kudos to you and that fabulous table. Don't sell yourself short, you did indeed Trust The Process.
The end result looks so cool! Thanks for all the backbreaking labor to create such a unique piece of art (and content)
That has got to be the COOLEST table build I've ever seen!! WOW!!
That table is just incredibel!! I love your projects!
Wow, this was a truly inspiring build. I love how it has turned out with the awesome leg design and the droplet pattern in the tabletop, it fits perfectly. and it is good that you did "Trust The Process" :)
19:29 wow that is just so beautiful!!
the finished piece is so cool. not my personal style but i can appreciate all the work and time that went into it. the water effect looks so good. i really love the legs and would totally get something similar if i can afford it in the future. "trust the process" is a big mood lol.
That's a really awesome looking table, honestly. I'm impressed with how well that turned out!
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.
🙏🙏
Beautiful table, that turned out way better than I expected from the beginning of the video : )
Trust the process and I'm glad you did! Amazing work!
Trust the process! Beautiful!!! 👏👏👏 The glass sketches me out cause I just imagine it shattering but WORK!
Trust the process!
Such amazing work as always, brother.
I just came across your channel and this is the fist video I have watched. I really love how you keep us in the loop and updated on the building process. The table is amazing! I've wanted to get into building with epoxy myself and you have inspired me! Thank you for your videos and I definitely hit the subscribe button!
Another gorgeous piece!
That piece is really amazing and it was fun to watch the video. Trust the Process Johnny
Trust the process! Great build! As someone who lives by the "wing it" philosophy, I love watching you work through the speed bumps much like I do in my projects... but with much better tools 😂
TRUST THE PROCESS
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.
Would be awesome to see this process done with shreds! Confetti table!
Great idea you gave me with this build! Awesome! Smaller project for me tho 😊. A bookstand in different colored papers. Thanks for sharing your project with us ❤
looks like a butterfly!
The finished table looks incredible! The ripples turned out so well!

Trust the process... Nice table, but what a pain in the a$$...
You could have used paper that was being discarded...
@@terretulsiakDoesn't really matter in the end, does it?
Me too

"TRUST THE PROCESS "
First time watcher here. That is beautiful, if made things like thus nobody would be able to afford it and I would end up with a lot of furniture/ Art/Master pieces. 😊
This is my first introduction to your channel and I really enjoyed it! Trusting the process is amazing and I look forward to seeing what else you do 😊👍
just wait till this guy sees what they use to make paper
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.
But oil is organic... 🤔
And so is all thoseprivate planes with people in it that make millions if not billions, andyet he makes a small living off some epoxy table andyou b about it. Go protest the big guy destroying the planet big time
@@narref04oil is limited and nonrenewable
So what?
Is there any biodegradable alternative? I've held off on a lot of projects due to epoxy's nature.
Absolutely love this! So beautiful! 😮
Ironically the amount of plastic used to do this project somehow neutralizes the environmental goal of the project.
Trust the process. Jonny, you and Cam over at Blacktail are my grounding videos. I work in cutting edge tech and watching your videos reminds me of the joy you can get from working on a physical project (alongside the pain!). My father was a master carpenter and taught me some wood working techniques (all of which I have mostly forgotten sadly) so a big thanks to you guys from over here in the UK.
Thank you 🙏
Damascus paper table!❤
Trust the process..... love this! It firmed out so beautifully
Beautiful table, I’m glad you trust the process. ❤
"Trust the process" is not how I felt when I saw the CNC issue, but you pulled it together. Great job!
I hope the whole bit about being an environmentally friendly project was a joke.
I’m pretty sure it was😂
I trusted the process and wasn’t disappointed. Great build.
I trusted the process and really enjoyed watching your build! Thanks for the inspiratoin
I love the look of the white and gold table!
😂
Took me over half the video to realize the final color was what he was working with from the beginning. And your comment made so much more sense after that point. Good one
Trust the process! Man I really, really want to pair this with Cam's curved epoxy table. Something about the torture we put ourselves through for projects like this just make it so much more rewarding when its finished. Though your back may not agree after this one! Thank you for another awesome video.
Wow what a process but WOOHOO fantastic looking table! Great artistic job on this.
TRUST THE PROCESS!
Love how well it turned out!
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
Oh my god !.
This table is absolutely amazing. I for one love it ❤❤❤❤
Trust the process! I know it was a ton of work, but well worth it in the end. Great design! I love circles and water patterns like these.
You really make it clear how we have to trust the process! Love it!
"Trust the process."
Your sheer perseverance throughout the whole project is already admirable, but your ability to "trust the process" and actually power through is honestly so powerful. This is probably the second or third video I've seen from you, and I must say-- you now have yourself one more subscriber :)
Beautiful Table Jonny !
Trust the Process
Trust the Process!! I was really leary at first ... but it turned out fantastic! Love love love it!
I love this. I love where you're at in your career on here. If I've learned anything being a weekend wood working it's that I always want to try something new. I see you as our here as a front runner in using epoxy and cnc to incorporate. It's incredible. Thank you for not limiting yourself in the ways you can create these awesome pieces. Thank you for filming it as well!
🙏🙏 thank you
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.
Trust the Process! Amazing work every single time, I love watching your videos!
A beautiful table love the blue/black contrast also the pebble drop design
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!
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.
I am not an epoxy table fan, but I have to trust the process and admit it’s a beautiful build! You can turn paper into a tree. Wet a ream, leave it outside on the ground, it’ll decompose and turn to dirt. All you’ll need is a seed of choice.
So this is the first video I’ve ever seen from you. Can I just say that this is an absolutely beautiful piece that I was not expecting to look so absolutely perfect? You did a fantastic job. I do want to say though, epoxy is very bad for the environment. All art takes resources, but this is not an “environmentally friendly” build.
A breathtaking piece worth every penny!
Absolutely crazy amount of effort!
saving enviroment by putting the paper back to look like a wood, while producing tons of plastic waste, is very enviroment friendly, good job!
Satire
as an alternative to the vacuum bag (assuming you do anything like this again), could you do a vacuum chamber - basically a plexi box with a lid? That way you might be able to skip the bleeder fabric that's a pain to peel and potentially have something reusable for other projects. But as always - trust the process!
That table was a ton of work but dude, so beautiful. Anyone would be lucky to have that. Great work!
Trust the process love the design @Jonny Builds
Is he joking? Turning paper back into trees 'for the environment'? And with gallons of epoxy.
Yes sir. Yes he is joking.
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.
Joke. J-o-k-e. It's a joke.
I used to build model ships and started making the cannons for them by rolling paper around a mandrel to create a laminated paper tube that I could turn, using my drill press as a makeshift lathe. One particularly large cannon. About 8 inches long. I wasn't satisfied with the finish, so I sanded it back down after painting. The paint had soaked into the paper, but not the glue giving it a really cool Damascus steel look where all the layers had been sanded through when shaping the cannon. I really wanted to leave it like that, but had to paint it a solid color again before putting it on the model.
That was awesome. I am glad you did Trust the Process. What a beaut!!!!
The idea of this being environmental friendly is kind of a stretch. Your using brand new paper to build this project. Paper that would be made, and used regardless. You should make your next one our of recycled newspaper that's been used and most likely wouldn't be used again.
Overall cool project idea.
I mean, it was clearly a joke
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. I am not saying it's a bad table. Wonderful table, cool materials, but just know it's worse for the environment so don't let that be your reason.
Trust the process! Absolutely beautiful table!!
Discovered your channel last night, now I'm subscribed and about 7 videos deep into a binge. Keep up the incredible work 👏
Thank you 🙏
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.
Interesting project but it is funny hearing you talk about plastic straws and epoxy being the solution to a greener future, when in reality epoxy is a) plastic b) toxic (you should probably be using a respirator when working with epoxy). The result is great tho :)
Wow. Jokes must pass you by all day long
Trust the process. This is really cool and would be an amazing look for any house and one of a kind! love it!
TH-cam randomly recommended this to me and this is just. So beautiful. It's a bit weird in an amazing way. I suppose it's taught you to... trust the process.
That comment about the environment made actually zero, negative sense.
I definitely was completely serious. Especially the part about turning paper back into a living tree.
@@JonnyBuilds you're BUYING the paper though, to be replaced with other paper that other people will buy. If you FOUND the paper it would make more sense. It's like buying a car and then saving aluminum by melting it all back down to aluminum. I get the thought but it makes no sense.
@@JonnyBuilds Making random dumb statements in a serious voice doesn't mean its a joke though. So we can assume you dgaf bout the enviroment? Tell your kids, see how they enjoy their future.
