It seems more like " I hope it works" most of the time. Fortunately I can burn the evidence when there is a big fail. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Fusion is strong in this one!

It reminds me of the first appearance of T2 in the terminator series.

👍💓!!!!! 🔥

Your metal alloy is 31% lead, I hope you took ample precautions when sanding it. Also would recommend some sort of sealant for the metal since its likely to be touched often.

Yes I did thanks and it is sealed with a hard wax oil. I may move on to something more durable since it is lead

Thank you Sharon! My next video is based on one of the French curves used in fashion and design. It inspires a 5 ft long coffee table with maybe clear epoxy. Thanks for watching!

The Teak transforms with the finish. It is a pleasure to work with. Thanks!

Pretty cool. The finished look of the piece is great. Working with a liquid T-1000 terminator seems a little dangerous tho. Excellent job.

Just a suggestion to really secure the aluminum leg panel and lag bolt in put some liquid resin then put the part in. This was pretty cool just found the channel

Very interesting. Personally (it’s all taste) I love working with different materials and that alloy is a real find. I wonder if you could have polished it to a gloss finish or whether it is so soft that that is not possible? I’ve been woodworking for over 45 years and, during that time, have seen so many different finishes comes and go. I don’t think there is a single finish for every project, indoors and outdoors but. Like you it seems, I like2 pack hard wax oil for most of my interior work. Late last year, the Wood Whisperer published a YT video reviewing the 2 pack HWO available in the US. His overall winner was Natura Onecoat. It was not something I had heard of and so I contacted the makers who kindly sent me a sample. It’s not available over here on the UK - I understand the launch is this Spring 2024 - but I was very happy to try it. It is the best. I agree with the Wood Whisperer. Natura claim a minimum of 55 square metres per litre and, whilst I haven’t measured that scientifically, I think I’m getting more using the same application methods as you.

It certainly could polish up. There was problem with metal dust when I did not use a vac attached to sander and the metal dust staining the wood so I blue taped it. Probably have a sander set next to polishing?--try it and let me know -this stuff is really neat-thanks for watching

Very nice sir. Interesting technique. That metal is pretty cool. Curious if you even attempted to polish it? Enjoyed the video. Looking forward to more.

I do think it could be polished.There is a problem with the very fine metal dust rubbing and saturating the wood grain. I taped it off but maybe it could be finished with shellac or something.The tape and sandpaper did not get along. The ingots of "low 203" were on sale at rotometals for 5 bucks versus 16 a week ago. I think it would make a great bowl video for you!

How amazing is that metal?

Hey there!:) I was watching this with my husband and we both thought this was SO AWESOME!!🔥 ❤ I'm curious to know if you can enamel this kind of metal.. either enamel (crushed glass micro-particles) and torch fire or even heat gun.. and maybe even add into it mica powder to create different metal effects such as a copperized color or whatever color we want .. maybe use a airbrush or sandblaster to evenly coat it with enamel and then fire it multiple times just like you'd do in jewelry making.. if that would work? Since this is the only low temp metal that seems to be safe to pour.. and that way it wouldn't be constrained to that specified color.. do you think that would be possible? I want to test but I'd love your thoughts on this? I don't know the first thing about this ... YET. Just a theory/ idea. What do you think?

@leahannwhite1111

Ай бұрын

Why not just use epoxy & mica? Well... it seems that to use epoxy you wouldn't get that close of a *real* metal effect as you would with this metal.. no matter what kind of metallic mica powder you would use. Maybe I'm wrong? I don't know. But I'd LOVE your feedback! ❤

@BlueTurtleStudios

I think if you could get metal copper powder and dust on as it cools after it is poured that might be cool if it doesn't disappear during sanding (wear a mask).A young of copper powdered metal is about 20 dollars so you could mix it and see. I might do a video project of that. I don't know what pigment powders are? I think crushed stones? very interesting idea! what about gold leaf at the last moment or some type of low cost gemstones that would sand and polish-great ideas-thanks for watching-you have sparked some curiosity!!!!

Did I miss a step, where you poured metal for the top and the bottom? The video makes it look like you routed out the top for the leg plates.

No Steven That is some scrap epoxy left over I poured from the bottom because I did not like the looks of the plywood. I didn't include it because it was not a necessary thing just a what can I do with this epoxy that is left event. Thanks for watching

Not a good idea to sand lead alloys. Why not simply do an inlay instead?

Does that metal have lead in it? If so that’s not a nice product to work with.

@BlueTurtleStudios

It does have lead and you are correct! It is now sealed from any contact by multiple coats of hard wax oil and sealer!

Haha. Would have been so much easier to do a square recess for the plywood.
