Resin - Black Jean Micarta 

Don't worry I fixed the box.

0:30 If you're not wearing those Daisy Dukes by the end of the video, you aren't living to your full potential XD

Smart idea with the box! The first few times that I made micarta, it was such a mess! Made some great handle scales though so well worth it.

I'm glad I found this channel. Cheers! I'll be sharing this with other #makers. This gives you a nice quick little tour through #DIY #micarta #fabrication. It's such a cool material to be able to actually make, right now, at your house, starting at about $15 worth of fiberglass resin and some scraps of fabric or paper. It usually takes about a few hoyrs to cure for handling. You can almost immediately cut, sand, drill, macine, shape, polish, etc. It's extremely durable and strong. Fun stuff. :) People are stunned when I let them know that I MADE the crazy exotic wood for those knife scales. The cutoffs can be shaped into nice pendants and bangles. There is very little waste. :) #Micarta #diy #diycomposites #knifemaking #fakewood #diyproject.

Try alternating layers of two different colors of cloth, you then get a really nice wood grain look when you round it out on a handle.

Well done sir. The fast-motion stuff reminds me of old Benny Hill episodes. Nice!

I've never heard of this before but it looks great, can't wait to see how good it looks on the knives

In my lab, I actually use this method to make carbon fiber plate from carbon fiber cloth. You are a true genius😀😀😀

What type of epoxy or resin do you recommend for micarta? I am wanting to make some pen blanks

Nice little box!

uuh... why not lol Best use of old jeans xD

A prelude for scales on a new knife build... Cheers

Now I just wanna see a video about making a small box like this :)

When you were laying the jeans in the box and then took it out to do it, that's really thinking outside the box :D.

Super cool

Can someone explain me the point of this?

Those are potential knife handle materials, I'd say. Thanks for the upload, though! You've been giving me some inspiration for my upcoming projects!

Pretty cool...😎

Great video

From flea markets? Man those jeans must be itchy.

0:24 that snicker when he held them up

now you give me an interesting idea,what if we make armor mold and use old jeans to make body armor for cosplay etc?

Is flooring epoxy fit to make micarta

That looked like a quality pair of jorts

Pretty god mate!

Those are some really good scissors..

ive known about this cheat for 4 years , i feel handles made from this are slightly lighter that ebony and gripbetter

Is the light oscillating because of the clouds moving outside? Looks like natural illumination on your hand at a point. Lol.

I want to do this with an $800 pair of Japanese denim jeans.

Dude u know your gonna wear those Jean shorts. Hell I would. Suns out, buns out!!!

I thought you topped it with a sandwich there, nice work by the way!

Why are you so cool? Hahaha, Anyway, another great and funny vid. Congrats!!

Knife scales for later?

What resin is used..?

A vacuum chamber and a hydraulic press really help a lot when making things like this.

Partical mask that epoxy dust is nasty looking great . Happy trails

This would be an interesting material for a guitar

Better not skip leg day if you plain on wear those short you made lol

I tint my epoxy when making black scales, gives them a nice deep solid black. I made a simple press from scrap 10mm steel, clamp down by screwing a couple of bolts, can apply way more pressure and it is re-usable, you just have to fold the baking paper to direct the overflow out to the sides or it gets on the steel (wd40 stops it sticking too badly). Also, do yourself a favour and get a rotary fabric cutter, a special razor sharp pizza cutter, you wont ever bother cutting fabric with scissors again, massively quicker, neater and more accurate.

Thank you for slowing the video down when you were peeling the paper off, that was a great sound. But don't cut towards your hands with the boxcutter! I was worried I'd be seeing you slice your hand open!

🇹🇷✋🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I knew the box was going to die - you seemed like you were rushing it lol.. But nice handle material :P

Hahahaha wtf i like it

English longbow?

Mi carta, su carta! (Man I need friends... :( )

Poor lil leather tool box

Make a divine rapier

TIL you can make jeans into a rock

For what this one?

What was the point in doing this if you don't mind me asking ?

Whats a micarta

Make rank s dynasty londsword in darkness rises

Технология хорошая, но лучше использовать уже отжившие своё вещи. Эти джинсы как новые -только постирать и можно носить. Ещё и шкатулку разломал.

and wtf is that suppose to be ?? what is that for ?

Lol you had to make a video of making something creative when all you wanted was some daisy dukes haha

What ever happened to your cat its not in the videos as much anymore

First

hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii i came here as soon as it notified me sadly my computer died right after so im here now

Next time please use nitrile gloves. For your own safety.

no gloves, broke the mold, made a mess, long sleeves at band saw.. get your shit together...

Видимо первый раз делаешь? Много ошибок... Попробуй разные кусочки ткани по цвету например зеленые и черные слоями будет красиво и ещё используй целофан вместо бумаги )

Whats the point?
