Nice walking stick. My real passion is walking sticks and seems like that's what I do most. Thanks for sharing.

Great channel. I love what you the way you worked that staff! I learned from another walking staff maker that putting a coat of epoxy around the ends of the staff while it's drying prevents the checking & cracking. Or leaving the bark on about 2 inches at both ends. That's actually been working well for me. A thin coffee stirring stick works good for getting cracks filled in.

Thank you... I think I'm a little late for the big epoxy rush, but I havent seen it too much on walking sticks. I have a plan to incorporate it into a carving but that'll wait until the summer.

Love it...

Why did you not go all the way down the stick with the pattern? I think mixing the patters would make it look good.

@@JasonHedrich When carving out the lettering, do you still use the 5 minute epoxy or do you the slower cure? And how do you keep it from dripping out? I find myself using lots of tape and hot glue.

@@christinakindler9112 yes, for this one I used the 5 minute epoxy... it gets tricky with a round surface like the walking sticks. The hot glue or caulking works but if you time it right, using the 5min epoxy gets stiffer near the end of the cure period. So if you mix small batches and do one or two letters at a time, you can use it when its thicker and avoid most drips. Hope that helps.

Loving your work as always Mr Hedrich. What type of epoxy and pigment would you recommend? And is it hard to use?

Thank you very much. For these small amounts I’m using just the standard 5 minute epoxy, you can get anywhere. As for tinting, I’ve used a small amount of latex paint and for this one, a small amount of eye-shadow (make up) that my wife was throwing out. I find you can get creative in ways to colour the epoxy without getting too expensive. It’s easy to use but seeing it cures very fast, you have to move quickly

I like to use crushed turquoise to fill cracks on my walking sticks!

nice, haven't seen that locally... I'll have to do a search online to see where that's available. I bet that adds a nice touch to the final design

What kind of epoxy did yall use I have a similar walking stick but not sure about epoxy or epoxy resin I've never used them before I am wanting to make some walking stick toppers and cane handles any tips yall can give to help someone new to epoxy

For this one I just used 5 minute epoxy. It worked well but you had to move quick to finish before it cured. If the project is small, you can try any brand of epoxy from a hobby shop. Once you get some experience, then move into the more expensive, known brands. Hope that helped

Hi Mr Hedrich. What kind of sandpaper do recommend for sanding epoxy resin please?

@JasonHedrich

3 жыл бұрын

I first use a file or rasp to get the larger points of epoxy off, then switch to 80 grit, 150, 220, 320 then 400 grit and that works well. If you were doing larger surfaces of epoxy, you have to go for much finer grits (2000 and up). If you were thinking of doing something like a river table, there are great instructional videos on KZread (see Blacktail Studio as an example). Hope that helps
