Very nice great turning 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Outstanding demo Sam. Have not seen this type of presentation and truly learned a lot. See you Saturday in Billings. George

Great effects Sam,really like this resin piece😆😆😆😆

Very cool! The colors really turned out nice. Take care, Dave

Beautiful transparent bowl! An interesting experiment!

Another very well documented tutorial Sam. Excellent video mate. Cheers Mike

Mike, Thanks very much. Now please go make some shavings and mess up your shop....you are making the rest of us look like slobs. I am a slob for other reasons...... Sam

interesting and was surprised that the resin set up ok with all the different volumes you mixed. Thanks!

Great idea Sam and it turned out well. I think someone else mentioned what I was going to say about the maths on the mix by only using part A or B to mix the colours.

Beautiful Sam. Júlíus

would love to make something like this for a wash basin in a bathroom, not sure if it would work though

Is the resin strong enough to serve as a tenon? If so, then no plug would be needed. How about some release coating for the outer bowl to enable reuse? Alan

Alan, I think the resin is plenty strong but it still makes me nervous. Since I made this video I have done several bowls/boxes with no trouble. I did spray release on the outer bowl but destroyed it getting it off. Thanks Sam

I use plastic to stir my resin because I heard it makes less bubbles than wood. I have noticed a difference. Also can reuse them as they are easy to clean the resin off of. I found some measuring cups similar to those in the paint section of my local Walmart. :) I love them. I have also heard you can use Rit dye powder with resin. I have a bunch that a friend gave me that they were no longer using. I have it in storage though so I have to dig it out one of these days. It's at least 50 packages so I have enough dye for years if it works. :) That is a gorgeous bowl! Love the color combination. :) That bowl insert has been done already but at least you thought of it for future projects. :D I thought of something today that I had been betting had been done. It has but not in the way I thought of doing it so going to get on that to see what I can work out. :D I was inspired by a cat video of all things. *laughs* Pet toys are popular so if it pans out then hopefully it will do well. - Heidi

Would it be possible to put gold leafing on the inside bottom? I want to experiment with casting resin and gold leafing. Your work is fantastic. I enjoy watching your videos because I learn so much. Thanks.

Danny Yes, I have done some bottle stoppers with metal leaf ( not the real gold leaf-but I am sure it would work). I just mixed the leaf in the resin when I was casting it. I am not sure how you would do it so it would lay flat-if that is what you want to do.....experiment. Sam

Very cool bowl Sam. Could you use a set of cored bowls (from an otherwise not nice grained wood for turning) for your molds? Just a thought. I may have to look into casting, seems really interesting.

Cool, might make an interesting looking bowl depending on how it was profiled/embellished.

Nice. Just a quick question. Why does the surface still show some slight aberrations? You would think it would be totally smooth. Did not the pressure pot get out all of the air bubbles?

I think what you are seeing is my sanding job. I see a surface that is not perfect. I am sure they are not air bubbles. Sam

Hello sam, before pouring your mixture, did you use a lubricant into the mold for easy release? Thanks

Wow, that would be a good sink....waterproof anyway. You would need a monster pressure pot. Sam

Hello Sam. I really enjoy your videos,and was wondering I have a pressure pot but don't have a vacuum chamber could I buy a vacuum pump and use it with the pressure pot or do I have to have a separate vacuum chamber. Thanks Tom Gallagher.

@WYOMINGWOODTURNER

Yes, you can use the pressure pot AS a vacuum chamber. I do this. I bought some thick polycarbonate for the clear lid which is necessary to see into the chamber to monitor are bubbles. Depending on how large the diameter of the opening is, you need at least 3/4" thick poly or some acrylic or plexiglass. I had one actually break on my early attempt at a vacuum pot. The lid was too thin. Sam

Any "movement" on these bowls, what I mean is sometimes these resins continue to sort of cure after you think they are fully set and then maybe warp?

@WYOMINGWOODTURNER

Never though of that. I am just not sure. But thanks for the idea. I will check in the future. Sam

Beautiful work! May I ask how long you keep your piece under pressure in the pot?

@WYOMINGWOODTURNER

Жыл бұрын

Usually longer than I need to.....I'm in no rush. But I think one hour is plenty. But I would not turn it for one day so it is really hard. But a two part resin will cure outside of the pot. The pressure is to make the bubbles really small so you don't see them. So once the resin has set, keeping in the pot will not really do anything more. Sam

@@WYOMINGWOODTURNER Thanks Sam. There are lots of different pressure times people are advising. Some people keeping their work in for over 24 hours which seems excessive if the epoxy has already set.

@@ohaleceiffel Right as far as I know, the pressure is there only to deal with the bubbles....Sam

The double bowl casting was the best way I found. The rice thing really helped me stop the waisting of my resin. It's expensive stuff. I've been using an industrial epoxy, left over from a concrete job. Greedy!!!

you know that when mixing part and a / b at 50 / 50, no you took out 20% of 50 / 50 and added it latter and did not mix it in the same so it may well change the way it hardens

@wakelywanderer12

Agreed. I would pour the a and b mixture into the 4 separate cups containing the dyes, mix that, then add them to the mould. Slow set gives you the extra time you'd need.

WYOMINGWOODTURNER I know this is beating a dead horse, and all but the whole time I'm screaming in my head, please keep ratios, and that I hope it works out, I am 3/4 the way threw and happy to hear it worked. A longer set resin, is the amazing casting resin, gives 30 min of pot life and would be perfect for the pace in the video to give the time needed to make all the colors and blend and pressurized

I think Brendan stemp did something like that. I think that's his name. Spelling?

Tom Yep, I can't spell worth crap. Sam

I have an idea inspired by your idea of putting a shorter core in the center. Since you plan on covering the core with resin why not decorate the core in advance...color and or texture? The resin in that area should be fairly transparent I think. I haven't seen anything like that out there as yet.

@WYOMINGWOODTURNER

6 жыл бұрын

Yes I need to try that as well. Sam

Instead of using a round plug at the bottom, cut it at an irregular shape from the same wood as the chunks around the sides. Now you will not have a dissimilar piece of wood in the bottom. Everything will blend much better.
