I watch your videos purely based on how smooth, clear and enjoyable the instructions are :) People pay for details mentioned in your videos.

Another absolute masterclass on how a tutorial should be written, filmed, paced, and edited. You guys are by far the best in the space. The new tips/best practices are sprinkled in generously & appropriately therefor even after this many years I always learn something or notice something that I want to implement next time.
Cheers to you and the whole Easy Composites team!

Thank you again, guys. I made some composites projects and they were impossible without your tutoroials.

As soon as my workshop is up, I'm SO ordering some of your starter kits...

You are making these videos in a way that nobody else can or ever has

Possibly the best how-to video on YouTube

I am very fortunate to live in an era where instructional material of this quality is being given away for free! Composites always seemed like black magic to me (though I will soon be making a basic carbon fibre fan shroud with materials I bought from you), but the way this is so logically and simply explained with just the right level of detail makes me feel like even I could pull off something really cool with fancy materials. Thanks so much for your hard work.

Easy composites and USCSB are two channels I “shouldn’t” be excited about, but when either drop content 🎉🎉

I find your videos extremely well thought and pedagogically minded. Absolutely priceless to ones wanting to get the big figure before diving. This comes at the expense of ruthless efforts. Thank you so much for yours. You won a customer ! Marc/Paris

Good information! I've worked with composites in aviation now for 12 years and love watching these videos. Hello from San Diego!

Is easy composites in the US yet?

@CamiloGerber1 3 months ago

You are amazing, accurate instructions!! I understood perfectly

@maxnits9556 2 years ago

It's always a fantastic time watching your videos, thank you! I'm about to start watching the whole beginners playlist again, for the second time. You guys simply rock! 🤟
PS Yesterday I had an idea - like what if 3d carbon weave existed? Strong at any direction or angle. That could be fun!

Great video as always. This part looks like Audi R8 side blade 🙂

I bought some of your products in an attempt to make my part, but have failed multiple times. I’ve accidentally dropped the part and had to remake it a couple times. I finished it incorrectly and that led to a molding disaster. My latest attempt, after repairing again, involved sending the part to a professional body shop and they painted it with a very nice paint. I haven’t attempted to do anything with it yet because I can’t deal with another failure and the part looks so nice now. I must add that it also has a core because it’s hollow. I was warned about making a complicated part as a first attempt, but as usual I just ignored the naysayers. They were right, by the way. I saw in a previous video where you used a glass reinforced paste substance for making a mold. I think I will order this and give it another go. Your videos do inspire. Thanks
