      you have the best table tops man, I watch every episode.BUT PLEASE UP THE LEG GAME. The leather wrapped legs on the first denim table where the best by far don't you think? i know it was your boy shahin who made them but that table top deserves the best. Imagine if your leg game was as good as your table top game. SPEND THE TIME, YOUR WORK IS INCREDIBLE.

    Denim! As a textile artist with a bonafide degree in textiles I thought I’d pop on here and explain why the denim feels fuzzy after planing it. Even though it’s saturated in epoxy the long staple cotton fibers that make up the denim have been twisted into a very strong yarn. On a molecular level the cell walls of cotton are arranged in a helix around the central axis of a very long cylindrical cell. Then each fiber is made up of 20 to 30 layers of cellulose twisted by nature into a perfectly coiled pattern. Then these fibers are combed and twisted together in a factory to make single ply yarn. Then several single ply yarns are twisted together to make the cotton yarn that is then woven into the twill weave we call denim. So imagine a large rope that is made up of many ply that is coiled to nest perfectly and intricately together and those coiled ply nest perfectly together to make many multi ply ropes whose coils nest perfectly together, and so on. When you cut through this rope it’s going to fray and unravel leaving you with a bunch of kinky springy frizzy coils, much like a shag carpet. This is what denim does on a microscopic level. The blades of a planer are not sharp enough to cut the cotton yarns cleanly plus they are only cutting from one direction. The yarns are not being cut at all instead are being compressed, pushed along, flattened and eventually torn apart with each pass. So you are left with a surface that feels like very short velvet. You may have noticed that the denim felt softer when you run your hand in the same direction as the planer blade was spinning. And this my dear friends is why all your sewing friends yell at you if you use their fabric scissors. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk 😊

    Hi Cam! Composite tech/engineer here! I loved the look of the table and love seeing you expand your skillset working with new meterials! Cant wait to see what you do with carbon fiber one of these days! So a couple things that would help greatly help with the layup, there is a HUGE difference between peel ply, and release film. Peel ply is intended to be directly on the wet fabric and is intended to be peeled of leaving a somewhat textured/matte but leveled surface free of resin wrinkles. HOWEVER! Perforated release film (for pre-impregnated fabrics use non perforated film) is supposed to go on top of the peel ply so it doesnt bond to your breather which is why you had a difficult time peeling it off. Release film peels exactly how Saran wrap would like you were talking about In addition, you end up losing a lot of resin in the process and can resin starve your part which could have also contributed to the fibers doing weird things. When doing your next table/project, the ideal ratio is 60/40 weight fabric to resin, that should help guessing how much resin to use without wasting as much. I also use a bondo scrapper because i found it easier to saturate the fabric easier. Lastly, for a wet layup, you dont need to have a catch bin because ideally you have the necessary amount of resin within your bag and any excess resin will get soaked into the breather through the perforated release film. Thank for listening to my Ted Talk and cant wait to see the future projects!

    WOW, the look is amazing.
    I have maybe an idea for your epoxy layups, you might try a metal fiberglass roller it has little tips, that force the epoxy in and thru the cloth and making sure that your epoxy is even and not leaving dry or air pockets. In the end you'll use less epoxy and have faster layup times.
    My only experience with glass and epoxy was repairing oil tanks, replacing bad metal sandblasting the metal, then laying up the
    the repair area with glass and epoxy inside or outside the tanks and at times both. Thank you for sharing your art builds. 😊

    Interestingly enough the knifemaking community uses similar materials, the name brand is "Micarta", and the homebrew versions are basically exactly what you've done here, a natural fiber-based fabric (or paper) and stabilizing resin compressed and saturated. It's a preferred material for knife handles for some people specifically because the outer layer stays "fuzzy" if un-finished, it helps maintain grip when being used in damp/sweaty conditions. There are some absolutely crazy patterns that people have come up with, one of my favorites was always a high contrast twist, which almost looks like wood grain at the end.
    The paper versions can get absolutely insane with people using cri-cuts to add custom inclusions (like what you did with the wood deformation mold pieces), embedding finely shredded "confetti" style paper and other nutty methods. It's all really neat and opens a crazy level of customization, but as you mentioned in the video you're probably one of the first to have taken it to such an extreme as doing whole tables.
    Can't wait to see what you come up with next!

    Denim! There’s actually a term for this type of fabric-epoxy composite! It’s called micarta, and it’s an awesome material. In a lot of contexts it’s actually valued for that ‘fuzzy’ texture you noticed. It’s often used in knife handles, because it gives an additional ‘grip’ to the handle as opposed to other materials.

While there’s no denying the natural beauty of walnut and how much it’s highlighted with epoxy, I really enjoy how creative you’ve been with these denim tables. Shows more skill as a wood worker and a craftsman, IMO. Plus next to wood work, denim is my favorite!

    Hey Cam. Your bagging technique is good. One thing I'd add is a doubled up stringer of the cotton breather under the valve running over the project. It helps soak up any extra resin so it doesn't ruin the valve. I worked with carbon fiber and fiberglass for nearly a decade. Also, if you're bagging something with lots of angles like this, a few "dog ears" would help a ton!

    (Denim)The "fuzz" comes from the fact that the fibers of the denim are separating. They're still filled with epoxy, but because the fibers are separated from each other, and that they're so small, they can still have a bit of give in them. A toothbrush is typically made from plastic, but we still call them "fuzzy" for the exact same reason.

    • @andrewhavranek7452

      Exactly. The cotton fibers of the denim are essentially tiny little wound threads encased in epoxy. The planer shears the epoxy very nicely, given its homogeneous nature, whereas the denim is being frayed as it passes through the planer knives.
