"Because I can't do a project without 3d printing any more" sums up 3d printing so perfectly. Once you get into it, you wonder how the heck you kludged anything without it.
LOL yeah. And he made really nice enclosures for them a while back, but I just spotted a Sidewinder on the table behind. Well, that one's really quiet so I guess it's nicer to have it within reach.
@@sniperoth Didn't he also get a Prusa as well? the newer ones of those also got silent steppers, pretty sure. Newer machines seem to get nicer and quieter every year!
Don't know what I like better, the table or the video production quality. Congrats.
Really cool! I've got to try something with Jesmonite now! Also going to put that auto clay technique to use for epoxy and concrete casting.
One idea for you on the curved sides of the mold. You can get PVC trim (designed for baseboards) for super cheap at big box stores here in the U.S....its fairly flexible and definitely much less expensive than polycarbonate. Not sure if its available on your side of the pond, but might be worth looking for.
I checked the prices and it's not that expensive here. Maybe a couple dollars for that strip. I understand that in America budget is of massive concern, though. Especially nowadays.
No more Caulk Talk? ;)
How’s the build going? Can’t wait for the next Modustrial update ❤️
where do you get jesmonite in the US
A table for your computer is noice
Good Job
Beautiful! I came here for woodworking and instead found a gem of a site! Your infectious enthusiasm is definitely part of the enjoyment but your background in industrial design is so inspiring! I need to get my shop cleaned up and back up and running so I can try some of these project techniques. Thanks for what you do for the community!
This looks exactly like what you'd see in a furniture magazine, love it!
Thanks, dude✌️
This is a lie, furniture magazines don't have stuff that nice and interesting!
By that i mean, it looks like it could sell for thousands from a modern furniture shop.
It soo clean.
@Michael Pearson As far as im aware hes in Norway.
9:16 God, while making me
HAHAHAHAHAHA xD
I feel you...
I think he accidently dropped the whole bottle while doing me, maybe not accidently
A vacuum pot would be a good idea to get rid of the bubbles.
I'm so glad I'm not the only heathen to turn wood on their metal lathe.
Ah, ha !! I knew it was possible, my male friend was like nope, truth is he didn't want me in his mechanic shop with wood lmao
This Jasmonite would be interesting if you can light it from the back. Then it can be anything flower stand in many levels, but even would be interesting to have wood-jasmonite-wood-jasmonite hybrid statue also....that you enlight from inside.
It would maybe be a good idea to put the mold with Jesemite onto a vibrator to get all of the bubbles out quickly (or even vacuum it) for that perfect finish :)
That looks excellent!
man this is awesome, the only thing i didn't like is the air bubbles that caused some small holes on the surface of the table, other than that this turned to a beautiful art piece 😍
You should always brush on a 1-2mm layer first and vibrate the mould - this prevents air bubbles!
Is this material safe for food prep? Great looking table. Thanks for your content.
I just watched you other vacuum casting vid and this popped up in my recommendation after 😅
haha, great timing :)
انت مبدع شكرا لك
The obnoxious laughing every now and then gets me. Otherwise nice work.
spot on mate. it drives me mad.
You could probably save a fair amount of jesmonite and increase the strength of the top by embedding wood or another material inside when you set it
This table arrived well packaged and on time. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxn94T8Mu1iMnsLCMNOI9srXSsLkI4JXKW Like another reviewer advised, I pulled everything out and made sure everything was included (everything was!). I built it alone and it took me about an hour. The color is great and for the price the lift part works well. As others have mentioned, it’s not the smoothest opening/closing, but it works. The screws do show, but I plan to order white sticker covers if that bothers us too much. Really happy with this table! UPDATE: it’s been over a year since we got this coffee table and we still love it! It gets HEAVY use as our dining table, foot rest, and school desk. Over time, the opening and closing mechanism has gotten smoother. I added a new photo with the white screw cover stickers. They blend in perfectly and make it look a little cleaner. 100% recommend!!!
Amazing as always, Alexandre! Thanks for sharing this with us. 👏
I can't believe you're sitting on a couch that someone else made. Gotta work on that.
Can u tell me more about sanding?
Which grades did you use?
I think this channel is a perfect example of how 3d printing can be useful in every project even just as a supporting tool for calibration / framing / spacing assistance!
It also shows how you can spend 2 hours designing and printing an object that could be made in 2 minutes out of a piece of wood
@@tiloalo LMAO! Sometimes that's true, but sometimes the dimensional accuracy of a printer for these things is much better than you can get with woodworking tools. Not to mention safer than using saws on a piece of wood that size. Hopefully that part wouldn't take anyone 2 hours to model 😂
@@tiloalo depends this guy have a lot of experience designing so it would'nt take too much time but 3d printing oh god that takes a serious time, the benefits is you can make it better, with complex shapes and in the meantime you could be doing something else so I all i see 3d printing is better.
@@tiloalo i guess it took the same amount of time as the wooden one would take, just because he already knows the angle he needs for the table and a little square as a handle, so i guess it took like 10 minutes to model and some free time for printing
Maybe make an awesome hamster mansion plus cage
Really cool project! I was curious what the wall polygons are at 18:40.
So, my daughter and I were watching this a few minutes ago, and I asked her what you should make next. She said a desk. (You're still using that old door, right?) I told her a Jesmonite plank that big would be too heavy. She said the desk should be wood. Maybe a Jesmonite inlay?
After some back and forth, we came up with the idea of a wood-topped desk, with Jesmonite drawer faces. Maybe use some of your 3D printed drawer handles to trim them out?
Maybe the whole tabletop could be jesmonite with rebar as a support on the inside
I've made drawer faces out of Jesmonite before, they turned out pretty cool
@18:10 are those little bubble holes in the top? Maybe from the drill mixer or something. Would it be possible to put a thin epoxy layer on top to seal them?
Sup Al, congratulations on the channel. Sometimes on your videos I see you lifting heavy stuff like wood boards. On a long term, this can cause serious injuries on your spine. Since is something you do quite frequently, I think you should find a solution for lifting heavy items without stressing your body so much. Greetings from Brazil!
Nice project. Isn't Jesmonite a much better product than concrete and epoxi when it come to casting tops ?! I'm not sure what it takes to produce Jesmonite but I guess the fact that it's water based makes it much less toxic than epoxi, in the first place. And then doesn't it take way less energy to produce than concrete? I worked once with Jesmonite in the past (without pigments nor sealer) and found it easy to handle in terms of health concerns and the like. What are your thoughts on that ?? cheers, thanks for quality YT material.
Since everyone is doing resin this days my braing farted and thought "wait, if the clay deforms when heated once the resin starts curing it will destroy the chamfer!" Then I remembered you are using Jesmonite.
haha true! The jesmonite actually gets pretty hot too, just like plaster. But by the time it does, it's already set up enough to support its own weight.
There’s easy ways to do that chamfer without making it in the mold. Just do it on the table saw vertically and angle your blade
Can you please put the link for that formin clay/wax? Great Job! Keep it coming
I am so curious if Jesmonite can be used to make tiles for a kitchen backsplash or even bathroom floor tiles. What do you think? Would be a great video!
Super bummer can to buy in us
The sanding definitely saved it, but boy, did I clench up as you were smudging the surface with your hands.... but it seems to have turned out fine!
Next time, I would go with the more complicated mold to cast it face down, though.
This is such a satisfying YT channel to watch because all of the careful preparation you put into each project makes it so that everything turns out beautiful and elegant.
Why don't you make something for that empty spot over the couch? Like a jesmonite clock or something
that diy circlecutting tool !
big brain work here 👍🏻💪🏻
Thanks, dude✌️
I noticed how effective the sander's extraction system is working, but you really should put on a mask to make sure you don't get resin in your lungs mate(there's not a massive amount, but there's still some resin dust on that table)...
It's not resin It's plaster. Much less harmful but still you're right it's always better to keep dust off your lungs
At this rate your workshop is going to be better furnished than my house...
That Jesmonite was a huge sloppy mess, but ended up looking great!
You inspire me to try out new materials and design/build awesome stuff. Thanks for another great video!
I love hearing that, Thanks for watching :)
Nice table, I am unfamiliar with the material. Can it be used for countertops?
Jesmonite looks very cool. Haven't tried it yet.
(If you would make a 30 sec "teaser" of your videos for facebook, the youtube videos would be easier to share)
Hello..is jesmonite Nd epoxy resin same
Different from epoxy?
Could you/someone give an estimation on how much this amount (tabletop) of jesmonite would cost roughly?
great job with both the video and the project.
PS can you please link to the auto sculpting video it looks cool
Would wrapping the top and drilling through the wood circle allowed you to use the bottom of the mold (mould?) as the top?
Great vid, could you please tell me where you purchased the automotive sculping material?
I seen some on amazon
Damn man anyone would would buy that master piece for a absurd amount of money... That thing can be in a multi million hotel, love all your work man ❤
very nice work except for lack of coffee LOL, you should take a coffee on front of camera using your new table!! Bye friend:D
To save every machinist watching you from having a heart attack, please remove the chuck key from the chuck when you aren't using the lathe!
Hey Alex, Awesome project. The table looks amazing. I think your next Jesmonite project should be a chess board.
This is awesome. Definitely one of my favorite pieces you made. I didn’t even know about jesmonite until you
Awesome project and, as always, great presentation. Love your energy! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks I've just discovered this product, very interesting. A question, can I pour this onto a wood base and leave the wood, maybe 10 mm of wood and 15 mm of Jesmonite? I need to make a surface with a square hole to insert a stove panel and I was afraid that the Jesmonite alone wouldn't be strong enough to bear the tension. Would the Jesmonite bond with the wood without a release agent or would I have to staple some wire to the wood to give it a grip ? It would also save on the amount of Jesmonite. The sides of the base are about ten cms wide with the hole being about 45 x 60 so a total panel of 65 x 80 approx. Not sure if that's clear. Thanks
you are like a young Adam Savage :) #AdamSavage #onedaybuilds ! Great Videos ... not enough subscribers I think for the quality of your work !!! @Adam Savage's Tested .. check this !!!
What other pigments can you use other than jesmonite liquid pigments? All acrylic pigments would be fit?
I agree with both your initial skepticism of the pattern... and then your love of it after sanding! This is art! I understand how that leap of faith felt to "leave well enough alone" and let that pattern set. It turned out beautiful though
Hi, did you use Jesmonite Penetrating Sealer with AC100? Thanks.
When I see Alexandre has posted a video i stop everything I am doing and watch it!
Hey I really love it!! I would like to see you making a chair out of this material it would be really interesting bit I can imagine that its a bit hard 😬
You are just such an inspiration!
Just a quick heads-up, since your monitor is pretty far away from the camera, it looks pretty weird when you use it to center stuff in the frame. Your eyes go up which breaks some immersion
Thanks :) I'll keep that in mind ;)
Could you make a mirror(Ed) coffee table with wood top and jesmonite legs and stretchers?
This looks awsome! I really like the "night sky with the stars" touch, thanks to the smaller white peaces.
Idea for the next jesmonite project - as requested :)
Embedd some screws with wide and thin washers during molding, as a later attachment points. (Washers required for bigger surface, so they will not break out so easily from the final product.)
Someone mentioned in the comments that he could imagine this table as a "floating" sky. I think something like that can be achiewed, with legs with threaded holes.
Awesome build Haha Ajax and monster Mango. Average Dutch student tools xD
Did you say how thick the mold ended up being? Ty for sharing! Fascinated with all the cool tools!
Every time I watch your videos, I go.. "this guy is a genius, my god!"
I contacted the jesmonite people and all I heard was crickets. Asked them if they wanted a distributor in the US as well. crickets.
What's that Brown stuff you used in the mold? Looks like an amazing producf
How can I buy jasmine powder? Is there delivery to Saudi Arabia?
I really like your work and the way you do it... but please stop forcing you to laugh every 10 seconds... it's so unbearable.
Besides I've seen some of your first video and you don't laugh like that all the time.
Your work is very good, your ideas too, the editing too... but this fake laughter forced on everything and anything ... it ruins everything.
I'm thinking of making a worktop from jesmonite, could you do a video of that please?
everytime he uses the table saw i die from the inside, bro use a safety stick to do that omg
great vid! would like to try planters, dishes, lamp, clock, cosmos wall art, a shank..
if yu reinforce the pour with metal does the jesmonite hold together stronger?
nicely done ... 14:38 but take good care never do that again ...maybe you forgot that's the table saw still working .while you're making the video .. be safe
So how much material did you use for that tabletop ? Thanks.
This man has a metal lathe, restored industrial milling machine, restored industrial drill press, a bandsaw, and multiple 3D printer but he doesn’t have a planer or a jointer? What is your magical and confusing life and where can I get one?
Can I ask what Jesmonite you used, whether AC100 or AC730
I really want some jesmonite, it’s one of those things on my long list of ‘I’ll get some of that one day’ 😂
See lathe adapt in this video ruclips.net/video/QcL1F0kvYzI/видео.html maybe it will be useful in your future projects.
It's really good to see you using the tools/Equipments that you've made/restored in your previous videos!!
helloo everybody, do you guys think this Jesmonite thing can be strong enough to make climbing holds??? cheers
Hi. Do you know where I can find Jesmonite in the US? I only found starter kits in Etsy.
Hi. Can you tell more about Jesmonite please? You says it's like plaster and also it's hard. So is it friable like plaster, or hard and britle like stone , glass or more like plastic/ resin?
wow sooo clever definitely want to try jesmonite but probably won't start with a coffee table! LOL x
hi friend i'm impressed with your work, i'm from brazil in the city of rio de janeiro, and i'm delighted with every detail of this piece. I would like to ask you for help if it is not too much trouble, I would like to learn how to do terrazo with Jesmonite. I would like to learn how to make that little sign that breaks, please teach me. I need to learn I want to put it in my concrete pots that I use for plants
IKEA doesn’t approve the final gluing at the end.
I love you! One quick question do you have the file for the drill powerd 3d printed scooter?
ITS possible to doba normal Size tabletop for a PC, would IT hold IT ?
A little less commercials would be nice... love the project though.
you should clean the resin off your chop saw blade. its burning your wood. kerosene will clean it easily.
If you don't get all colours mixed to the same consistency it will crack along the borders to the colours especially if it is gets the sun on it. From experience in the past.
Does someone have any idea on how much the jesmonite required would cost? Is it more like 50 or 500$?
I'm curious as to how durable this material is without adding any glass fibers or the like to it? Can't really find any info on it.
Can you do a wooden and josumite two draw cabinet with the draw face being josumite. Thanks
Your enthusiasm is infectious! Keep it up!
ar you dutch?
Wow...amazing. What is the name of that clay? any link for that? Thanks
