We've been collecting forgotten about DVDs and shredding all the cases down into recycled plastic stock for our products and projects. This video is our take on a stained glass window, but using plywood and recycled plastic instead. This project was hugely inspired by Jimmy Diresta's stained glass window video.
The sheet was made using our awesome new sheet press from the wonderful folks over at CR Clarke - you can find out more about their recycled plastic machinery at www.crclarke.c... ♻️
The frame was cut using our Stepcraft D840 CNC powered by Vectric Aspire 11. We cut all the plastic pieces using our Wazer water jet cutter, which Wazer sponsored some of the purchase. Check out www.wazer.com for more details on the water jet cutter.

Oh yay, can't wait for this one!!!
You can also use the big plastic pieces and fill the spaces with glass or other colors pieces (or wood)
I would like to do all that in my country but I dont have money to buy even the cheapest machine to do any of that 😢
Just an idea - these sheets could make great ‘tiles’ to use as shop floors (or a number of other places). The plastic would soften the impact of tools dropped, would look awesome, and would have no problem handling water in the event of a small flood. Seems like a cool project and a great way to save some plastic from landfills!
Thats an awesome ideas - we better collect some more DVDs!
@@BrothersMake maybe ask your subs and fans to send old dvd cases ..
Very smart idea. You even thought of when a floor would be flooded!!! High five!
PP isn't tough as HDPE, probably tiles from PP breaks in case of a mid size impact, like a hammer falling.
So, I think HDPE is better suited for the task (and it's probably why in the industry they often use HDPE mats, for example in front of CNC machinery).
@Brothers Make I think @mrbaseball1996 is really on to something here! A shop floor is a terrific idea, and it would also be great as a kitchen or bathroom floor or bathroom countertop. (Melting might be a problem for a kitchen countertop. 🙁)
Still, I think they're gorgeous & would love to use it somewhere in my house!
What you make out of plastic that would normally go to a landfill is amazing.
The average person doesn't have the machinery you have to make these awesome items.
Please continue to share what can be made by the average person who doesn't have those amazing tools and machinery.
👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
You guys still amaze us with your awesome ideas. Keep up the fantastic work!
Thanks so much guys!
Love this design beautiful.
So many people never get answers and are told it’s in their head or your depressed or it’s normal.
So happy for her ❤❤❤❤
A fantastic build and I love the name Shreddy Kruger! Maybe make your plastic inserts thinner and add multicolour LED lights behind - will look great in low light. Even add a sound responsive circuit for disco lights!
What a cool idea!
GOOD JOB! The colours and patterns of the plastics look great!!! 😉👍
Awesome project guys! 🙌🙌 Next time you cut into ply wood we recommend you use a compression bit, this has both up and down flutes to help ensure both sides are pukka! 😎
Ah that's really good to know, thanks for the tip!
Love it! I actually thought it was a quilt when I first saw the thumbnail.
Thanks! Haha yeah it does look like one now you mention it - not quite as comfy I'm afraid!
Very good project, the result is beautiful, congratulations, thanks for recycling and showing so that people can also recycle, greetings from Uruguay, blessings. 🙏
Thanks so much! Really glad you enjoyed it 😊🇺🇾
For separating the waste, if the weight difference is significant enough you can spin the waster water down. Your abrasives should be at the bottom. You could also put it into a large bottom release funnel (in Chem we used a separatory funnel) and let it settle naturally and drain out the abrasives slowly
We’ve had other suggestions like this so we might just have to try!
I love these new Art Attack bros. They're ideas are creative, unique and exciting. Earned a sub!
You need downcut bits for your cnc to avoid tear out. There are also special upcut-downcut (compression) bits if you want to cut through the material and dont want tear out on either side.
😂just finished writing a comment about using a downcut bit for a top pass then regular up-cut for the rest. Then I noticed this. Figures… I gotta get one of thes fancy compression bits!
Wow. Wow. Wow. Love this table. Extremely cool.
Great use of the case's. With the DVDs if you have the right type you can turn them into a solar panel. You can find the way on youtube. Good luck.
That’s a great idea! Definitely going to look into that
Thanks, Mark!
This is absolutely amazing guys!
Thanks so much, Jolien!
I think the frame thats left from cutting the shapes would make nice unique photo frames😊😊😊😊
Beautiful!
The table looks awesome...!! If you guys could make a floating shelf with these plastic...It might look cool and simple.. 🤔👍
I Like the Look of the pressed flakes MUCH better than the Look from the Extruder :)
Painters tape will do wonders for the tear out for future cnc jobs
Good tip, thanks!
Yeah, I was going to say that at our local maker's space, that's what's recommended. Just positively cover the top of the wood with painters tape.
Nice. Will definitely try this
Something cool to see for complex cutting like that table top...I would love to see the black border with pieces and parts to a dragon in the same manner as the mosaic table 😊😁
You guys are geniuses!! I've been saving soda bottle lids to try to make some fountain pens like in an older video and also some dip pens. Now I want to make a coffee table too!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it is very inspiring, huh! those plastic sheets they made are stunning.
Bloody marvelous!……..😮
Thank you!
Looks great boys
I was gobsmacked with your coffee table! Just 💜💜💜 it!
Far too kind, Mary - thank you!
That could be a modern art installation at a museum!
Beautiful and amazing. Love what you guys do!
I wonder if the larger pieces would stand up to being used for cutting boards or boards for working dough?
Absolutely!
that turned out gorgeous!!!!!!! Please do another stained glass look project
Thanks so much, we definitely will!
I was wondering if all those CD Solar panel hacks had any validity to them. If so I bet you guys could come up with a great one. If not a giant disco ball build would make a great video. If not a practical solution.
You guys are really amazing. It has been so inspiring watching you guys grow and expand your recycling passion into an amazing business.
Oooh that sounds awesome!
I need to read more of these I was just thinking like pop art style wall art with the dvds or using them instead of glass for sparking mosaic art- but a solar panel type thing well now I got new things to look up o:
Very cool
It looks like something artist Romero Britto did. He is a Brazilian plastic artist.
In regard to separating Wazer waste, perhaps something similar to a gravy separator? There are different types, but I think you'd need one with a bottom release. You could build one yourselves with cylinder and funnel if the abrasive doesnt flow well. Drain out abrasive into one container, then the plastic into another, or just pour it out. Run each through a fine mesh sieve or filter.
I was going to suggest coffee filters to separate the plastic from the water
For the discs you could cut them apart and use the pieces to create a mural, with pieces of plastic to contrast the metallic look of the cds
You guys rock. That is awesome.
So cool and beautiful
Absolutely gorgeous!
Love your work!
Thanks!
That was amazing and sooo beautiful!! Loved it! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks for watching!
Very nice.
Lots of fun and very creative! Great job!
I've seen DVD's used to make chimes, (the flat disk for the top, strings hanging down, and aluminum tubing different lengths, and a dVD at the bottom to spin around in the wind to bang against the alluminum tubing, or sun catchers Very Neat Colors, The Red Would be very Cool for Retro Countertops, or they could be used for deck or flooring tiles. YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING GOTTA LOVE YA
I think this will look 😊even better on the wall.
Super cool! I believe you can turn the CD's into a shining finish so that they can function as mirrors.
Neat idea!
It is gorgeous 😍Thank you for sharing 😍 lots of love from arctic Norrway 🙌🌻🌹🌺🌼🏵
Gorgeous stained plastic tables! I love them!
furniture and flooring, lots of ideas. stain glass window made of plastic. wow
I wish i had so nice machines like you
Very cool!
wow, it's beautiful!!
Love love love the table
Place a scimmer in your watertank so you can scim the top layer of your water where the plastic is floting, and after you scimed it of filter it.
Looks cracking lads! Yeah birch ply 💰🤯😂
Painfully expensive!
Hello brothers!, nice doing by reciclying material that usually get discarded as waste for not having another use.
RECOMENDATION FOR COLLECTING PLASTIC WASTE FROM THE WATER:
I'm studying civil engineering, and one of the classes I take is about water treatment. Since the plastic sediment is fine due to the pressure of the machine, these are a couple of recommendations that I would like to give you:
* You can make a modular drainage system at the bottom of the storage tank, which leads perhaps to a bucket, with pipes of standard thickness is enough, however try to avoid elbows with turns greater than 90 degrees, since the sediment will remain clogged , and to be able to collect it, a cloth would be enough so that the water can run and the plastic waste can be collected
* To get a rough idea of how often you should empty the machine and filter it so it doesn't get to the point that looks like sand on the beach... divide the number of liters the machine can hold into an approximate amount of sediment each time that ends a series of cuts. That will give you an approximate of how many cuts the machine would do before it becomes plastic waste with water, for safety measure try to drain and filter it to 3/4 of the maximum volumetric capacity.
I hope it works for you. A hug from Guatemala, continue with such great projects. If you need any help do not hesitate to contact me
I had an idea a few years ago on recycling clothing. If you get the same fabric items in one batch and shred them, then make them into thread and then into fabric again, it would save a lot of waste. If you get a lot of the clothes then they can be sorted by color too. IDEA FOR THE DVD's or CD's: What about making a wind chime? Shiny parts scare away the birds from garden, maybe put some heavier stuff on the back so you get the chime part? I love your table! Very Cool! I wonder if you have plastic that is food safe? Maybe you could make some chopping boards for the kitchen? Or kitchen utensils?
Fantastic Job Boys! Love those colours. I'm so jealous of all you machines. 😆
Thanks so much! Haha yes we're super happy with our collection that is slowly growing 🙌🏼
I love the colours, too. When I first saw the video thumbnail, I thought that the plastic was translucent, but apparently not.
I love that the black helps the colours to really pop. It would be interesting to compare a glossy black to a matte black. I think that matte would create a bit of an optical illusion.
That looks so good!
So awesome bros!
Lovely
Great job 👏 👍
Thanks!
Wow! Great idea! The table is awesome!
Looks like a church window - beautiful
Thank you!
That is such a spectacular build! It would look fantastic on the wall too with a light above it to be a window. ❤
I am collecting to make bricks. I haven't started the melting process yet, looking for a device. But I have a form and press. I was thinking of raised garden beds, garden shed or even a house?!
Your micro's could be implemented into builds like bricks???
Thank you for all the inspiration you give❤
We’re actually working on a design for raised garden beds too :) bricks are something we’ve been thinking about for a long time. We want to come up with a simple DIY solution. We’ll let you know when we find it!
@@BrothersMake Assuming they don't have the copyright, how about Brogo bricks - supersized Lego removing the need for mortar?
Interesting! Will check those out
If you happen to be down in Essex, you have an open invite to East Essex Hackspace! We are trying to set up a precious plastics recycling station. We have also just purchased a Wazer! And have all the other things too.
This is fantastic
This is awesome
Thanks for watching Brad!
Gorgeous table!
Amazing!
Here in the US, I still can't find any colored dvd cases. We only have white, black or clear. Also, I had never seen different colored ones as a teen.
Now Nintendo Switch cases has had a few red ones.
I'd probably just recommend folks get colored straws or broken plastic folders to do the stained glass look.
Guy's it turned out awesome, I half expected you to install led lighting below the tabletop to increase the effect on a dark evening !!!
Thanks Simon! We did think that of doing that, but the sheets were a little too thick to let much light through. Maybe next time we'll either make them thinner, or cut it with some more clear plastic and then we could 💡
You have some awesome ideas guys!
Great work!
Beautiful ❤
Thank you!
You can make mosaic tiles from the dvds
So, what I've been doing, since the holographic material of the CDs and or DVDs, makes my crow brain really happy, is I have been taking off the holographic film by using packing tape.
And it has to be the heavy duty stuff, just take a large piece of packing tape burnish it (that means rubbing vigorously on the tape to ensure adhesion of the holographic film and the tape) and then rip it off like a band-aid. It will give you a nice chunk of holographic film. With enough CDs, I can probably decorate these pieces into decoupaging an item like a bookshelf. It might make it easier without the holographic film to recycle.
Didn't realise you could do that, very interesting!
Thanks for sharing!
Hello! Love the channel! I recently got a 3d printer, and leftover PLA from spool ends, supports, and so on pile up fairly quickly. There are setups to recycle it back into filament, but those are rather expensive due to the precision required and not something the average DIY user could do. Would it be possible to use a simple setup like your panini presses to turn that leftover filament into sheets/shapes that could be machined using simple tools? I could see that being fairly appealing to the entry-midlevel 3d printer user and a great reuse of material that would otherwise go to waste. Thanks!
I want countertops made out of this!
That'd be really cool 👌🏼
Id make a complete negative from them wood bits to make and opposite with a big plastic slab with cut outs for the wood off cuts.
A thought for a future design. A series of wave shapes in a mixture of blues crashing into a green recycle logo. This could maybe be donated as part of the video to be used as a raffle prize to raise money for your local beach cleanup?
Wow, a table.. Such a marvel.
You’re as shocked as we are
@@mrk9_001 What a lucky day for me.
I want one❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Now that you have a sheet press, can you make a bunk bed using HDPE? I think id be a cool test of the tensile strength of the material...
That’s a wicked idea! My kids need bunk beds 🤔
Our transit system tried to make benches out of plastic, which sagged. This might have happened due to the hot summers. Somebody should test it for a few weeks first.
@@BrothersMake Maybe you could turn ordinary beds into bunk beds by building stilts, or scaffolding, or some form of support for elevation. Each bed could have plastic chairs and plastic desks. That's a big project.
Don't forget to build a ladder out of HDPE!
For any wood, you could maybe get free wood from disposable pallets/skids/whatever.
This ìs super cool
Thanks for watching!
I have not seen coloured DVD cases all mine are either Black or White😹😹 love the table.
I noticed someone mentioned making floor tiles, now that would make for a great challenge in the near future
I've collected quite a bit of HDPE at this point... I really need to find a good way to melt it easily. I can only find wrinkly panini presses where I am. Tons of them though.
The final result on those tiles looks amazing though. I bet if you added a tounge and groove it would make for great flooring.
Save on plywood, make many different slabs and give the a jigsaw pussle edge to make the table frame(was plywood) then insert more shapes as before.
An idea: auction off the furniture you make to be able to get tools to recycle bigger and better.
Mosaic something with the dvds shiny side :)
Have you seen Morley Kert’s CD light tower? It’s pretty awesome use of CD/DVDs
How! 'bout a multi color cutting board!
Is there a way you guys could recycle plastic utensils or straw?
I like it but wondering if you could make this a stained glass window, only with plastic?
Cool the table. Looks like gypsies style :)
@@mrk9_001 nice 😁
Great ideas i want to do like you.
your science man looks like the explosions and fire/ extractions and ire m8
Are you guys using any mold release? If so, what are you using? I'm having trouble with the plastic sticking to plates ...
Yep we use PMS Nickerson mould release 👍🏽
use the same kind of settling tanks they use in water treatment facilities
Hey just a question can I melt PPE with a penini press
Hi thanks for the video. I have thousands of dvd cases now i know what to do with them. Where i live i seem to come across more Pet 1 and pp5 more than Hdpe so i was wondering can you melt pet1 and pp5 in a sandwhich press. Thanks for any help you can give
Lindo trabalho!!!❤❤❤❤

Selecting "PP-12mm" must have hurt so much
