VERY common in factory car racing. Porsche made it popular with flax fiber cayman GT4 race cars. The front and rear bumpers (most likely to get damaged during a crash or collision) are made of flax fiber to make them cheaper to replace, while still being quite light. Carbon fiber just... shatters, and is very VERY goddamn expensive, unfortunately.
Huh, nice to know that material science is marching ever on...I know more than a few people that think carbon fiber is the be all end all...so knowing that other materials that can fill the same niche as good as or better are out there is neat
"Christmas Spirit". In Jairus' words, that probably means a canon that fires tree decorations to instantly dress up a tree, a Rudolf with a laser canon in its nose or a rocket-boosted sleigh. To be honest, i dont know which one i want more...
That’s an interesting finger brace. I wish I would’ve had something like that when I cut my finger a few years back. It wasn’t all that bad, I just needed stitches. The thing that made it the most difficult was that it followed the inside of the middle joint on my index finger. The pain was nothing compared to the temptation and instinct to use my finger, especially since it was on my dominant hand, and I had to keep it bent so as not to add too much tension to the stitches. Did you come up with the design yourself, or did you buy it/copy something already available?
Never seen flax sheets before, looks like a good material for 'eco friendly' projects (also using natural resin)

Smaller things like this are cool to watch. Do more!

I'm thinking it's more likely an ugly Christmas sweater that changes colors at the touch of a button or some such.
I am from the future to tell you it is indeed an ugly sweater
So Chair us of all?
Chairless Of All
that linen fiber kinda ends up looking like wood, i like it!
ya man great vid, lots of fun energy. do more of this!
Those flax fibres look spookily like my hair...
This dude is my spirit animal and I love it
The shape reminds me of one of those old school tractor seats

SANTA IS NOT DONE YET! 😂 Good laugh bringing back that memory of the Christmas sweater.
thats it Jarius, work it til it stays up by itself!
Heh, that title sounds like the story of my life! :)
Yay Christmas sweaters. Sorry about your finger and love the stool
What is that clear coat sprayer you used?
Oh shit how did i miss this upload 3 weeks ago? At least i caught it now!
nice
Awesome - a new Christmas shirt??
I love seeing material experimentation, especially with unusual "green" materials like this! Thanks!

Rumour has it Bryce hasn't stood up since Jairus power fisted him all them years ago. So it's a good job your repairing him a chair.
epic waiting montage
really cool materials as well!
3:04 he doesn't have anywhere to sit, eh?
Sorry. What's that stuff called?
Oh boy, not another ugly Christmas sweater video! (Jk I saw your Instagram post and it looks exciting!)
So yea aquaman right?
Cyberpunk 2077 Mantis Blades part 11???
Do you have some sort of degree in chemistry? You give me that impression.
TIL: Purple play-doh is not grape flavored.
At 3:10 , since his chair wasn't built - shouldn't Bryce have been sitting on your lap?
what was he sitting on while ou waited for it to dry? .....we've been lied to chat !
You look and behave so much like an old friend of mine,you could be his twin.. are you also 33 years old?😂
So you bought a 100 dollar chair
What is the meaning of this? 3:04 … you said Brice had nothing to sit on … I am disappointed
I'm uncomfortable with how much it looks like hair
That looks like the seat off of an old tractor.
