Resin casting some knife handles
Thank you guys for helping me reach 500 subscribers. Now 1000 doesn't feel as far away as it first did when I started the channel. I have invested some money that will allow me to take on new projects such as making my own knife handles.
In this video I will show you the making of some knife handles as I experiment with pouring epoxy resin. This project was a lot of fun and new doors have been opened for me. I am excited to see what kinds of cool knife handles I can make. Thanks for watching.

Jake uses a different brand of resin in his videos so the temperatures I used were only approximate from what I remembered in the videos I watched.

Honestly, I’d be really happy with any of those.

Thank you
Very cool ideas. I liked the cloudy sky/not mixed blue and white the best but the Lego is pretty fun, too. Can't wait to see the other ideas. Have you ever thought of doing any of the old school 'encased' items? When was a kid I had a ring that was a posed real ant in epoxy.

That sounds cool. A friend suggested to me to make a knife handle with a mosquito inside like the cane in Jurassic Park
Don't do a typical "mix". Try a little swipe left and right at the bottom and then centre your stick and swipe directly up the middle, then slowly slide the stick out without it dripping back into the mixture.

I will probably do another video soon for some resin cast handles. I will try your suggestion. Thank you 🙏
Come by the house in SWP and pick up some beeswax finish for the blades and handles
That resin stir stick was a bit undersized. Making the poor kid work.

Haha right!!! And I'm telling him to stir faster. And make sure to scrape the bottom. Poor guy eh 🤣🤣
I am no expert and I did not watch every second< but if temp differences is the issue, I would try to mix the white first. the lesser volume probably made the temp rise more slowly.
