Same. I spit coffee all over my keyboard. Also - that e-mail killed me. Question though... why not just have all the layers cut instead of just the one? Was it cost prohibitive? (And - if you had your own machine, would you have done that instead?)
Looks amazing! Great work! You might consider putting the strips in a steam box for a while and then clamping them down in the forms overnight. Then do the glue up after they have already been bent roughly into shape. Helps avoid cracking.
Thanks Lee! Yeah, the strips actually bent totally fine, the crack happened because one of the pieces slipped under the form and when we pushed down, we squashed it. Total operator error!
Looks amazing! If you were to make this again, and wanted to make it more rigid, you can always cross-laminate the plys. More cutting veneer, but you can tape them together for easier glue-ups. I make plywood drum shells this way.
Glad you guys didn't get bent out of shape when the pieces started to crack. Working through some bent lamination myself, so it's awesome that you were able to shed some light on your experiences.
Great design Shaun, I like how it’s both a clean shape, while still being a bit playful. The way you made the forms is how a make tubular lamps, from plywood. It’s a bit of a repetitive process, but it works really well.
The crack just ran for a few inches along the grain of the outside veneer, so when we eventually got everything clamped up, it mostly fixed itself. As for the lights, yes they are LED bulbs.
Looks great, but did you consider using plywood for the circular frame that got painted yellow. I think the laminations in the plywood would have been a nice nod to the challenge, even if very little of the nominations in the plywood would have been visible. The contrast of walnut against the plywood would also have been striking.
Thanks! Yeah, plywood could certainly have been used for the frames. A different look than what I was going for, but would definitely have been a nice look, as well.
Shaun, you look a little bit different with the wind blowing in your hair while driving. Great looking design. Love watching you collaborating with Chris.
why didn't you use the cnc to cut all of the layers for the form? Seems like it would be a lot faster and more accurate that way since there would be no hand tracing, ruff cutting with the jig saw, then over to the band saw. Or is there something I am missing here?
Always love watching you guys collaborate and the great things you turn out. Two questions..: First, why did you not wear your pink chiffon scarf on the bent lamination roller coaster?? I think it might have helped the process or at least the atmosphere. Second, why did you not give it the Official Shaun Boyd Live Load Weight Test? These are questions many folks are asking.
Thanks Jeff! They made me take the scarf off on the roller coaster for safety, I told them I never play it safe when it comes to fashion! As for the weight test, not even camera trickery could get this one to work, unfortunately.
Thanks! I'm still going to try to get stuff out on my channel occasionally, but Chris and I have a lot planned coming up, so it might be kind of sparse.
Love the channels and both your work Sean / Chris! Why are all you guys (in USA) working in each other's shops and sharing each other's channels? It' seems all the rage 😃
Could you have used partial spacers for your forms. As in, instead of cutting duplicates of each piece for each layer, cut out much smaller pieces to make up the form for every other layer? EIther way, love the look of this!
We actually considered doing that, but eventually decided the time/headache trade-off wasn't worth it. I think the main thing is that without spacers you can flush trim each layer to perfectly duplicate them, but with spacers, it would be a little more difficult to get everything to line up perfectly.
@@shaunboydmadethis Fair play to you guys. I'm getting ready to start on my own Bent Wood Challenge project and I'm looking at ways to incorporate my CNC (Shapeoko XXL, name still to be decided!) in the project. Good insight on your process for the lamp. Thanks!
Looks fantastic! Some really neat techniques shown here! Is there any reason you couldn't laminate several layers if you wanted a thicker look? Would it be as simple as making a form with a larger gap, or are there other considerations to be aware of?
Thanks David! Nope, just like you said, the only thing that would change would be the size of the gap between the forms. I suppose if you went really thick, you would need to consider the radius of the curves as they would get tighter as the thickness increases, but that is about all I can think of that could be an issue.
If you didn't have an audience without CNCs would you just CNC the full stack of forms instead of jigsawing/bandsawing/flush trim'ing? Curious which is faster / more efficient.
Honestly, I think with two people we were more efficient doing it by hand. And we were able to be really efficient with getting the most out of the material. Though if we had a big 4x8 CNC and could cut all the parts in one go, that would probably be quicker.
I like seeing you guys collaborating on projects but I feel torn about where to send the love... The real project here were the forms of course, the light is just a byproduct.
I think either one will give you a good result. I tend to lean towards wood glue because I know it much better than I know epoxy, but the heat that day would have made using either one difficult.
I would think that with two of us we were actually faster than using the CNC machine. Especially if you factor in the time that we would have needed to do all the computer work. But who knows?
Thanks! The walnut strips didn't really need any help bending as they were thin enough. We actually cracked it by squashing one of the strips underneath the form when trying to get it into place. Totally our fault.
Thanks! Chris and I feel like we can offer a lot more by working together, both with video content and various other things. We also know that by working together it is much more sustainable for both of us from an output perspective. Teamwork makes the dream work, as they say.
Shaun Boyd yes of course working together is good. It is just confusing to have you just do a whole project here and not just post it on your own channel. But hey, I’m not complaining. As long as the videos are good and you guys are benefitting then I’m also happy.

+100 points for the "driving to Chris' shop," cutscene, but +1,000 points for the "driving back from Chris' shop" cutscene. I laughed out loud!
Haha! I'm happy you caught that! I was worried it might a little too subtle.
Yep... that made me LOL as well. reversed the video footage and everything. Ha!
Shaun Boyd , reflecting back on it, that was my favourite part.
Same. I spit coffee all over my keyboard. Also - that e-mail killed me. Question though... why not just have all the layers cut instead of just the one? Was it cost prohibitive? (And - if you had your own machine, would you have done that instead?)
perfect video length, was able to eat all my lunch while watching. 10/10 would recommend
Might be the best compliment I have gotten. Nothing like the perfectly timed lunch video!
Looks amazing! Great work! You might consider putting the strips in a steam box for a while and then clamping them down in the forms overnight. Then do the glue up after they have already been bent roughly into shape. Helps avoid cracking.
Thanks Lee! Yeah, the strips actually bent totally fine, the crack happened because one of the pieces slipped under the form and when we pushed down, we squashed it. Total operator error!
I love that you resawed the 5" board on the table saw. I don't have a bandsaw and have felt restricted until I saw this. Great build! I hope you win
Nice to see you two get all bent out of shape on a project... Looks great!
Haha, we certainly did. Thanks Rob!
Bruh
very nice
Just wondering the main reason to create the veneer. I think one 4x8. Sheet of veneer could be used here as well.. Right? Great build!
Looks amazing! If you were to make this again, and wanted to make it more rigid, you can always cross-laminate the plys. More cutting veneer, but you can tape them together for easier glue-ups. I make plywood drum shells this way.
Thanks Scott, and good call. I actually wanted to keep this not very rigid, but I can see how that would be a useful technique when building drums.
Hey! You didn’t lay down on top of this one in the end!! Gotcha.
The cinematography at the end. 👌
I Love the added thought of flipping/mirroring not only the driving clip but also the "Driving Dramatization" Text. :D
Haha, glad you caught that! I was wondering if people would miss it.
Gd job it would be good lighting for a pool table
Totally, that was kind of what I had in mind when I was coming up with the idea. Thanks!
Glad you guys didn't get bent out of shape when the pieces started to crack. Working through some bent lamination myself, so it's awesome that you were able to shed some light on your experiences.
This guy is good! Happy to be the guinea pig, and tee up some solid puns for ya!

Thanks! Yeah, it is funny how much work and time goes into the form, but that is really the most important part of the process.
Shaun can do no wrong!
Challenge accepted!
Kudos!!👍. This suspended non-rectilinear illumination device is very cool!! Appears mid-century!
Wow! That's absolutely fabulous! A piece of art! I loved it very much!
Props to Greg and Craig for doing all the work!
As usual they do all the heavy lifting.
Wow. Just wow
Brilliant! The driving Ms. Daisy reference was epic! Super cool man!
"Before I tell you if it worked out..."
The thing is in the thumbnail but also hanging behind you lol
Beautiful
Nicely done Shaun! Looks awesome! I love how it's like a traditional shade that's unravelled.
Thanks Michael! Yeah, I wanted it to really look organic like it was waving in the wind or something.
You sure are pretty while driving! 😘 Cool project, I love it. Thanks for the Hello Fresh info, it looks very interesting. 😋
I always feel prettiest in my convertible. Thanks for watching, and the HelloFresh meals I tried were seriously good!
I love Bad Snacks music! Can always recognize her violin 😁 so different from Chris's music haha love the build
Haha, I always try to find new/different music for my videos, but so often I land on a Bad Snacks song!
I love the light switch box just as much! Do a build on that.
How did you fix the crack at 5:20? Did you apply a finish or something to deal with the heat from the bulb?
I think he installed LED bulbs, so there won't be that much heat.
The crack just ran for a few inches along the grain of the outside veneer, so when we eventually got everything clamped up, it mostly fixed itself. As for the lights, yes they are LED bulbs.
that form alone is a peice of art
Haha, no kidding! It certainly took enough work!
Awesome. I really dig that walnut switch plate.
Thanks! That was a little last minute addition, but turned out nice.
I hope Chris throws that ad money your way.
Chris is a very fair business partner.
FANTASTIC GUYS... i would have choose the black for the lights but... very bright design... 4 me you'll be the winners :)
Thank you! Black would have had a cool look too!
A definite thumbs up for this one RC
Really nice lamp. You and Chris make a great team.
Thanks William! Teamwork makes the dream work.

Gorgeous design. Very cool. Makes me want to try some type of bent wood project.
Thanks Torin! Definitely give it a shot!
Shaun, you look a little bit different with the wind blowing in your hair while driving. Great looking design. Love watching you collaborating with Chris.
Haha, maybe it was the scarf. Thanks Scott, glad you are digging it!

great design Shaun
Thanks!
Whoa!!! This looks amazing....insane design.
Thanks, man! Can't wait to see yours!
Very cool. Im interested in seeing how the new four eyes goes.

Thanks man!
Man oh man killer project.
Thanks Dennis!
My hurt cracked with the wood cracking sound 😂 , cool idea bro 👍🏻
I'm glad you can feel our pain, it was a bummer! Thanks for watching!
Wow that so amazing .. so cool.😎😎😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙋♂️😎
Magnifique !
Merci!
Came out great! At first I thought Chris went through a voice change lol. Just gave Shaun a follow on his channel/socials. - Jim
Thanks Jim! One of these days I will get my Chris impression down!
That clearly wasnt dramatised footage. *You do you boo* 😘. Oh... cool build too 😉
I could only dream of looking that fancy while driving around! Thanks, man!
Very very great 👍🏻 project. Thanks.
Thanks Barbara!
Its amazing beautervul!
Great team!
Thanks! We are enjoying working together more.
Awesome!!
Thanks Ivan!
This thing is sick. Dig it.
Thanks Daniel!
what that fuck is hapenning is the 2 nd time in day isee jhon boyd on chris salomone channel!!! two fucking genius !! awesome!!
The "driving dramatization" made me spit out my lunch. Awesome.
Haha, sorry about that, but glad it got ya! Thanks for watching!
Nice! 👏 Really enjoyed the Four Eyes takeover Shaun 👍
Really appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed it.
Great video! I really like the design of it. @shaunboyd are you no longer going to be publishing videos on your channel?
Thanks! I'm still going to try to get stuff out on my channel occasionally, but Chris and I have a lot planned coming up, so it might be kind of sparse.
Love the channels and both your work Sean / Chris! Why are all you guys (in USA) working in each other's shops and sharing each other's channels? It' seems all the rage 😃

Sick!
Thanks!
Really cool concept! Enjoyed the video!
Thanks Bruce!
Thumbs up just for the xcarve email exchange.
Haha, who would have thought CNC machines know how to use a computer?
Was that Work of Saws playing at 5:20 during the *snap*? Made me enjoy this vid even more...Hi from MPLS.
loved the shape of it , wonderful 😊
Thank you!
Dang Chris your voice got deeper haha. Anyway this light looks amazing!
Haha! Pretty much the only difference between us. Thanks for watching!
Shaun Boyd haha been following your channel for awhile now as well. Love your work, Shaun!
Finally hit Puberty...
Coz, you know my name is Chris; and I like to do make formings, I like to form all day long, so come and do formings with me.😂😂
Shooow!!!
👍👍

This the reason your cars don’t work. One thirty second! Use millimeters instead. Anyways, AMAZING lamp, wow!!,
no famous shaun strength test?!
Haha, even I know when to draw the line.
Awesome
Thanks!
3.5K thumbs up!.....and 131 knuckleheads.
The Craig/Greg conversation though 😂
They are cut from the same cloth.
Greg "Step 1 - Formulate a plan. Step 2 - Raise an army. Step 3 - Take over the world" 🤣🤣
Great job. Looks amazing 😍 Like from Russia 🇷🇺
Really appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
Just to clarify the sign-off: after jumping on the bent lamination roller-coaster, do I start making curves or kerfs?
You know, now that you mention it, I think either one is acceptable.
Amazing lamp, thanks to share 👍🏻
Thanks for watching!
Shaun Boyd do you visit my chanel? I have a video of desk lamp, I hope you like it, thank you. Bye.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I need that BF shirt!!
Dang! I only have two smalls left in my stash, but I have them in my Teespring shop if you want to snag one. teespring.com/stores/shaun-boyd-made-this

Thanks Jen! We collect all the love and divide it up evenly around here, so it is all good!
would you guys use epoxy again or wood glue for binding the layers?
I think either one will give you a good result. I tend to lean towards wood glue because I know it much better than I know epoxy, but the heat that day would have made using either one difficult.
Chris looks different without his glasses.
I would say more handsome.
Awwwww, yeah! ✌🐯
👍🙌
Curious why you didn’t CNC all of the parts for the forms.

Beautiful lamp. Great video. Mahalo for sharing! : )
Really appreciate it! Thank you for watching!
What sprayer was that?? Need to buy one.. Bought a cheap one from Harbor Freight but it's junk.. Great video BTW
Haha, I hate to say it, but it is essentially the Harbor Freight spray gun. It was purchased on Amazon, but it is pretty much identical.
Any reason why you didn't soak the wood to help bend to the design? It looks beautiful btw
Thanks! The walnut strips didn't really need any help bending as they were thin enough. We actually cracked it by squashing one of the strips underneath the form when trying to get it into place. Totally our fault.

With chandelier clearly visible in background "before I show you if it worked out..." 🤔
No Sanding require. That my kind of Project
Sanding is so overrated.
What paint sprayer do you recomend?
I just use the cheap one from Harbor Freight. It is like $30, and works great for my needs!
Great job! Could have gone without the yellow tbh
Thanks Austin! I know bright colors like that are a personal preference, but the nice thing is that they can be painted whatever color someone wants.
