It's good to see Sam Greene again. His new channel is great for anyone starting from scratch. I dont know how you keep finding all these different Sam's that are so talented.

[jessemarchand]

I think Sam might be an under appreciated genius. Also, I wonder if covering it in fiberglass instead of plaster would have made it sturdier and may have helped secure the handle more confidently.

Don't let new Sam go. He makes the channel

[jensstalberg]

Nice to see OG Sam in the video, but new Sam has improved so much, John and Sam are now a formidable team, keep going, I love it!

[seanpr]

Sam is 90% of why I enjoy any given video.

[Vickie-Bligh]

Oh Sam, it's so good to see you. John, you've been lucky with the Sams in your life. That was a great build, guys. Looks really good.

The added layer of foam effect on the top of the coffee just sealed it for me. It looked awesome. I have said it before but your artistic skills are top notch.

This makes me so happy to see Sam and John together in the old work shop!! I've been wanting them to do a collaboration for a while now. Now all we need is Jordan and the band will be back together.

John. Nobody tried to crush you on the comments with the bench. The wood on the bench looked great. But the stone was definitely rushed, and a rushed gift isn't a great gift when it's the first thing people will see going to someone's front door. It wouldn't have taken too long to make it sit flush and hit it with a polishing wheel. Either way I respect the effort you put into it, and it did help me learn a bit about dovetails and some other tricks you used.

With that said, I'm very pleased to see that you took the time to get this project looking perfect. It almost looks drinkable it's so good! :)

Your #1 friend when working with sculpting foam is the spray expandable foam stuff. I've watched people use it to attach the sheets of foam together to add height plus use it on mess ups to add foam and start over again.

[Jiggybonz]

I legit love how you always give Sam credit when he has a good idea. Even when he has it off camera and you could totally steal his thunder. Respect, sir. Also, ur content is dope. Thanks.

SAM!
AND SAM!

Sam with the color, and you adding the bubbling really set it over the edge. It was already looking really good, but that was just that little extra!

[MarkEmerle]

Probably one of the best builds in a couple of years, especially seeing the original Sam in the video....

[cpl_]

That is 100% like your best old school videos. Great to see Sam again too. Nothing like seeing the Malecki Academy Alumni.

[richardcooper]

Whenever I refresh the page and see another John Malecki video pop up I say "Well I guess I know what I'm going to be doing for the next little while" and never never disappointed, it's the channel which continues to entertain endlessly, A Great Big T H A N K Y O U! Love everything you guys do. 10/10.

[bnice]

Man the moment John said someone that used to work here I was like Seriously buddy you are missed.

[sureshot]

That was an awesome turn out on the project. His reaction was even better. He was so excited. Great work all around.

[MaryCumbersnatch]

That looks great! FYI, there are hard coat products specifically for foam. Haunters use them for Halloween props. Myself, I sometimes use a thin coat of mortar over foam as a hard coat. I typically use a primer coat made of watered-down PVA glue. It works well, but can develop fine cracks.

[RamDragon]

I spent a year in college learning to carve that foam for large sculptures. I promise you, there is no easier way to cut that crap. A hot wire works, sorta, but like with every blade you tried, you will get one or two decent large cuts and the wire is done. Best tools for material removal are rasps. I spent more money in blades than I ever did in foam. Decades later, I found out you can just buy giant bricks of styrofoam in any sizes you want for a fraction of the cost of insulation foam, and it almost has me wanting to make giant sculptures again.

It really feels like you should have done a fiberglass layer to hold that handle on. The foam on top looks amazing! You guys really nailed the look.

[beze]

Heart warming to see Sam back. You guys are absolutely killing it at the moment. Loving every video!
