This guy is a true Shadow Foam artist.
With his attention to detail an the painstaking way he cuts out and removes the parts that r needed for the full effect.
Well done Jona...
Beautiful work. You make intricate details look so easy. Cheers!
Cheers Kevin, it's just practise makes perfect 👍
Like the light up bit but pinning the back shut might be a bit tricky when you need to change the batteries :)
Definitely, a great point made!
Love the product, have used it in our drawers that we manufacter, but what cutters do you use to cut the foam on a CNC machine? I think it will speed up our process of cutting out the shapes (mainly shotguns) but i need to automate the process.
They look great
Cheers mate, tempted to give it a go yourself?
great video i really enjoyed watching
Glad you enjoyed! What logo would you cut into foam?
@@ShadowFoam i would do my own logo to be honest, would look pretty cool in my studio, with the ''neon'' lights u made :) when i have enough money i will for sure order a shadow foam.
Looks very nice!! I would use LED strips to spread the light more evenly - right now the corners are a little less lighted. A box for the LED controller could be nicely cut into the back side of the foam. I would also leave a small hole in the wooden back - for if i need to take out the controller to replace batteries, etc.
All great suggestions and definitely something I’ll do once I get onto updating my logos video in the future!
Awesome mate👍
Thanks Adam, fancy giving it a try yourself?
@@ShadowFoam absolutely 👍
As if I don’t have enough stuff to make, without this jumping to things I must do right away.😂 ps love the channel
Cheers mate, let me know how the project gets on!
Really clean sharp lines, looks like a machine has done it. Great job.
Cheers Lee, I've had a lot of practise over the years!
Amazing work as always! There are a few things I suggest when doing the back lit ones, firstly is if using these lights an easy way to access the batteries. However personally I'd use LED lights in strips or a plate then all of it is equally lit up and you just need one accessible part for changing batteries etc.. Brilliant work! keep it up 👍
Definitely going to be using LED lights for the future!
Really like how they have come out. Want to do something similar for my Ryobi tools so was glad you included that one, shame the green colour isn't quite right but the light up DeWalt one looks amazing! probably would use some led fairy lights or something in the back, the battery ones would takw a lot fewer batteries!
Thank you! Well chuffed with how the light up dewalt one has turned out!
Hotel Room check! I see make House keeping clean up afterwards!👍👍
In all fairness, we took the scrap home afterwards for recycling ♻️
@@ShadowFoam That is Smart!🤓
An LED strip around the perimeter pointing towards the centre would be the most effective even lighting.
Never knew you did Makita teal!
We'll give that a try 100%!
@Shadow Foam look forward to seeing it! I really enjoy your videos and your product and fast shipping is great. I've got a lot of shadow foam for my tools and also using it for my cameras for work. So much better than the pick and pluck stuff!
Great videos. Not quite sure how you assess the depths for the cut. Is there an opportunity to add a depth guage to your cutting knife. I am thinking of the foam to protect my carbon windfoils and wing foils which are quite susceptible to damage in transit. Thanks for videos
Hi Philip, the scalpel has a series of marking on the handle that I use to gauge the depth. Great question though, happy to answer any more you have!
I like how you are doing this in what appears to be a hotel. Can tell you are trying to be kind of quiet when you talk lol! They all look great!
Thank you! Ended up starting at 11pm so keen to not wake other guests!
Hi @shadowfoam I'd definitely want to see a dedicated video on how to use led RGBIC strips to light up our foam designs.
And I would love to do it! Stay tuned!
I like it
Think you'll try it yourself?
Hi Johnathan
The waste that you cut out of the shadowfoam, is it recyclable?
100% we recycle every scrap of foam!
LED strip would make it look better.
Great content again
Cheers Jonathan, definitely going to give it a go!
@@ShadowFoam An RGBW LED Strip will give you control over colours too.
I think you would have to put in provision for changing the batteries. However great idea. I’m about to do a project in my man cave. After this video I think I’m going to incorporate this idea. It would be great to get a bit of inspiration from you guys. I have a go pro and was thinking of recording it to show the mountain bike world what can be done with a bit of shadow foam 😉
What logo would you light up?
@@ShadowFoam I’m looking at doing a tool box with draws. Rather than cut out a name to light up I think I would run some lights to light up the draws generally
Superb effect for those logos. Could add a multi-coloured LED strip behind for a lighting effect. Would need to check that they don't get too hot for the foam though.
Definitely going to give that one a go!
@@ShadowFoam Just looked up some LED strips about a 30 degree C temperature rise above ambient. Not sure how much heat your shadowfoam can handle?
What was the depth/thickness of the foam you used here? Many thanks
50mm in various colours, available on www.shadowfoam.com
@@ShadowFoam Great thank you
Awesome job, I would use some LED tape lights as they are minimal thickness and can be powered by low voltage transformer eliminating the need to disassemble the back to replace batteries.
Got any in mind for a decent price?
@Shadow Foam I bought 5m of white strip LED from B&Q for just under 15 quid.
The multicoloured are about 20 quid and come with a remote control.
Just a quick question, could Shadow foam be used to display a large collection of model diecast models?
@@ShadowFoam There are tons on Ali Express if you dont mind the wait. They come in 12v or 5v but obviously you need a power source. They can be cut at various lengths and wires soldered to them to create multiple rows for even coverage. There is even a USB variety.
jo das ist gut danke
Youre welcome mate!
You should have a chat with www.youtube.com/@DIYPerks about some sort of LED strips lighting solution for the signs.
Shall drop them a message and see if they are interested!
IFixIt ?
Give it a shot mate 👍
First
you guys are a brand every creative and organised person needs
:)
Cheers for that! Spread the word and tell your friends!
