Agreed!!!!

Hi Franck, Maybe you should have brush the crater with résine and let it dry before pouring in one or two layers ? Just to seal the wood and block the air inside 🤔 Beautiful video by the way.

I liked but I agree with you, the typology you CNC'd into the wood is not very interesting, being someone who has no connection to the original source of inspiration. Also bigger, it needs to be BIGGER for maximum impact!!

+1 vote on brushing on a seal cost of epoxy before the main pore, will seal up the wood a stop a lot of those bubbles.

Even a couple coats of shellac would seal the wood well enough to close the pores, and can be sprayed on. I suggest shellac because I like the tones it brings out in wood more than any other finish, it dries fast, it’s pretty cheap, almost universally compatible with any other coating, and can be brushed or sprayed. I’d get the zinsser without wax if going that route to ensure maximum compatibility.

I wondered about doing something like this.

The bubbles look like rain captured in time. In scale with the landscape they are huge raindrops. Very impressive and interesting. As most of your projects are.

To help with the bubbles coming out of the wood you can always lightly paint the service with a paintbrush with resin and allow it to cure before you set up your mold and your large pour. This would seal the wood from outgassing on your finish pour.

I was thinking if the wood were in airtight container, the air would have only one way to outgass.

or maybe linseed oil?

You make fun things! Love the bubbles above the crator.

I wonder why Frank is not on HGTV, Netflix, or even HBO yet, doing his unique show!!! " Frank Makes", makes perfect sense!

Hey Frank! I would suggest using a vacuum and not a pressure pot first! turn your wood into stabilized wood by sucking resin into it as a block first, then cnc, then pour over it with the pressure pot. This will fill all the gaps in the wood and lock any air that makes it through the drying/cnc process in so you won't have bubbles, you could even use the vacuum when you do your final pour and get all the air out, then transfer it to the pressure pot if you wanted. Thanks for the great content and all your time you put into these videos!

Hey Frank, would you ever consider doing a video on a brief overview of your life? For instance, where you grew up, your first few jobs, how you got into making things, and how you got to where you are today? I'm sure a lot of us would find the story of what got you here today interesting and maybe helpful for those wanting to pursue a similar path.

the bubbles give it an almost ethereal look. really nice piece

Nice to see you Frank. I agree with one other viewer coating the surface with a fast cure, let it cure and then make your pour would have less effect with creating bubbles. Thanks for sharing and good luck. Keep on smiling.

I have found if you use a dust collection port right behind the resin cut those ribbons will fly right in to the dust hose and it helps keep the strains off the lathe. Awesome project as always Frank.

Lovely as always. I laughed out loud when your voice over was like "the hot glue won't work". Moments like that really elevate your storytelling. So good.

The stop motion animations are absolutely insane!keep it up!

This is like a snow globe. You should do a snow globe for a Christmas / Winter episode. I don't know if you would somehow be able to make it hollow so you could fill it with water but that would be awesome

I tend to think that the bubbles make it look great. As if this was a snapshot the point in time after impact where debris is falling back to earth. You are truly a master of your craft Frank.

Really cool sphere! As a few others have said, a thin seal coat of epoxy would help prevent the bubbles. IME, without a seal coat, there will always be some air trapped in the wood that comes out as a deep pour cures. But, I kinda like the bubbles here...sort of look like the bubbles you see when diving near ocean vents, with gas coming out of the sea floor. Also, I believe when you go to the website where you download the topography, there is a parameter you can set to exaggerate the vertical topography, so it is a bit more dramatic. Looking forward to seeing you play with epoxy, topography, and wherever your mind goes next with this! :)

Very nice. I actually like the bubbles; the unexpected mistakes are sometimes the best part of a project. Again, nice.

I always look forward to seeing your videos! I loved this project!

Hey Frank my name is Derek from Detroit area. I left a long comment on the Walnut bowl with diamond pattern for the auction.. I don't know if you get those comments I just would like you to go back and read it and let me know when the next auction is?? You are an absolutely amazing human being!! The ninja Craftsman skills you possess are second to none in the KZread world!!! I've been doing carpentry for 30 years and worked with some of the best trim artist in Michigan you are hands-down the best Craftsman I've ever seen!!!.. And not to mention your editing skills are stellar! When I started watching the first video I was really wondering why everything was voice over. And as I watched more and more videos I liked the editing more than the voiceover bothered me.. now I know why the voice over.. I'm glad I have a couple hundred videos to watch while I'm laid up with gout!!

As a Yorkshireman I approve this message. Nice sphere.

Frank, you don't need to complicate your life with plywood to make a form for the cylinder of resin. Just use some polyester film, 10 mil would be stiff enough and supple enough. Do 2 or 3 turns and use another layer of 2 of tape to hold everything in place. When the resin is set, you just peel off the whole thing and you are ready to go. Several layer of paper with perhaps glue in between each layer would work too. Thanks for your videos, I never miss one.

The bubbles make it look cool

Great video Frank. Thanks for taking the time to produce them. You have inspired me and many others with your projects. Thank you.

I’ve been waiting to see you do do one of these. Thank you for your perfect posting timing by making this an After Lunch Sunday Treat.

That's fantastic, I love watching the whole process you go through

Another great piece Frank that a lot of thought has gone into! I know you have inspired me and many others on the platform! Keep it up 👏

I find your videos utterly satisfying, Frank. It’s a privilege to get a glimpse of your world. Thank you.

I've never had the honor of commenting on a Frank Howarth video with advice, but you should brush resin onto any wood you intend to cast in resin. It may be dry, but it's full of air that makes those bubbles. Seal it first, and it's all good!

Really cool project and the stop-motion animation of the chuck-jaw change was fantastic! When I was young, in the 1960s, I always found that effect thrilling and, in 2019 in the age of quality CGI, I still do. Terrific narration, as well. Thanks!

I really enjoy your resin videos, it’s always nice to see someone really skilled in one type of art attempt a similar art. The journey is very interesting.

Man this was fun to watch!

I think the bubbles make it look so much cooler

My wife and I have been on holiday in central Oregon this week and just happen to have spent all day yesterday at the Newberry Lava Park! Always enjoy your videos. Thank you

That's the coolest thing I have ever seen.

love the idea of using an actual landscape

Can't wait to see the next versions

Your videos are always such a delight! I love seeing that you've uploaded a new video, it really brightens my day. Your stop motion animations are always darling and very well made, your commentary always make me laugh, and the things you create are always outstanding. Your videos have really inspired me to get into woodworking someday. Keep up the good work and keep being amazing!

Just brilliant! Your commentary on the work is great.

That piece is absolutely beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing.

These stop motion bits always put a smile to my face. Thx for all your work Frank!

Hey Frank, You should try a vacuum chamber and stabilize the wood. Pen turners do it all the time. A lot of guys use a product called cactus juice. You submerge the wood in the juice inside a vacuum chamber, wait for the bubbles to stop coming out of the wood, take the wood out of the chamber and bake it. You can then cast it in resin without worry of bubbles coming out of the wood.

@5:52 Awesome! "...change the jaws." I loved it : D

I like the bubbles, makes it look like a snow globe

Very nice concept. I’ve always had a fascination with topographic models. I’d love to have a collection of models depicting areas I’ve hiked and backpacked of the years. Thank you for posting.

Sealing the wood with a thin layer of resin is best. A friend and I have done alot of live edge river tables and we suffered that problem. The sealing fixed it and no matter how dry your wood is it can still off gas a bit just from the heat of the epoxy curing. Pretty awesome for a first go!

Beautiful Frank!!! Some of your best work! Everybody will be making these.

Glad to see you put out a new video, it’s been a while. Nice piece, and creative as always. Keep up the good work.

Always a good day when you upload one of your gnarly videos Frank! Cheers

Frank, you continually out do yourself! That’s beautiful!

Man, I love your videos Frank! I plan on going into blacksmithing and carpentry later on in life, and watching these kinda keeps that dream alive, and gives me lots of useful insights into the process. It's also great to share these videos with my friends, who all love yours sense of humor! Great video!

the bubbles look like a galaxy. love it❤

As always, an entertaining video and I'm chilled whilst enjoying the craftsmanship at play!

It looks cool. I do agree with the mountains idea, but this does look great. Now you need to make a stand to place this on. As always, your videos are inspiring and entertaining to watch... no matter what you are doing in them. 👍

Great video. The entire process was fascinating. Thank you.

I like the idea of a mountain instead of a crater. Miniature trees? This project still turned out very well. Thank you for sharing.

Usually you paint on a small layer of resin on the surface of wood and let dry. Then it seals off anything inside the wood. You won’t see a line where the 2 layers of resin meet. Great channel!👍

Frank, your a great source of inspiration pal, really admire your work 👍

Beautiful piece as always!

I don't think so many bubbles are the result of wood moisture. In my opinion there must be something wrong during the pressure pot procedure!

The bubbles would look like stars if you made the sphere with a galaxy in it. It came out great, Thanks for the video.

Couldn't help but think as you were cutting the tenon section off that it would have looked amazing as the top of a Newell post on a staircase

great job and great video. Very ingenious. Thank you for your time and work.

I really like the bubbles. I even like how they stop at a certain altitude, that's how the actual atmosphere works, so it's fitting to have it in your model

I live near new berry crater and can actually see it from my house, the fact that you had a machine carve the topography of it into a price of wood is just sooo cool to me. That place is awesome, I would never think of something like that. Cool video.

The sphere is so mesmerising with all the bubbles in the light.

I made wood countertops with a marine epoxy. I poured a thin layer first and hit it with a torch to pop the bubbles. The second thicker pour was done by holding the container high enough that the epoxy thins to a stream. This ‘ribbon ‘ puts a shear force on the bubbles that pops them. Vacuum degassing is tricky as some of the components in the epoxy are volatile and can boil off effecting the chemistry.

What a cool idea, always fun seeing your imagination at work. Doing a city skyline would be neat! Thanks for sharing, Frank!

Looks nice Frank. Well thought out.

The resin turning is very satisfying.

Really cool idea, i hope to see you explore/troubleshoot this more in the future

The bubbles give it an almost underwater feel, as if the landscape somehow flooded, really cool piece!

Nick Zammeti uses that Yorkshire Grit on most of his projects and they turn out real nice. Your sphere did, too. Someone commented about sealing the wood with resin to stop the bubbles, and that was my first thought as well. I would have molded with the square portion at the bottom. Sure, more to remove, but easier to seal up.

Nick Zammeti uses Yorkshire Grit all the time. I love the way projects look after using that. Great job there Frank.

I have a great idea for you. Use wasp hives inside resin as decoration for your wood-turning. Wasp hives are always spectacular to look at. There are several videos on KZread on "wasp removal job" that will show you what wasp hives look like. Wasp hives are preferable to bee hives because bees use wax and wasp use wood pulp and their saliva to create a sort of dense cardboard. So wasp hives will preserve indefinitely inside resin. Also, wasp hives have bigger hexagon cells. They are nicer to look at that way. It does't really matter because people will think it's a bee hive. If you use wasp hives inside resin, you will have to inject the resin with a syringe in each hexagon cell in order to avoid bubbles. This idea of using wasp hives inside resin to decorate wood turning art has a huge number of variations. You can spray-paint the wasp hive to make them stand-out more and for variation. I can imagine a bright yellow or pink or grey or black or metallic-gold color for coloring the hives. You can have a different colors for different sections side-by-side. Imagine a bowl or vase with a big section missing (like 1/4 to 1/2 section missing). You can then use resin to recreate the missing part. Inside the resin, you can put bit sections of wasp hive of two colors (pink/grey or yellow/black, ...etc)). That would look great!

If I had one tenth of your of your creativity, I would be a very blessed man! I like the bubbles too :-)

For people like me that have no experience with what you are doing; Thanks for the commentary....!

Shellac makes a good interface layer for epoxy. Seals the moisture away without building up too much finish. I have used this with moist barn board with great success. Stops any clouding or bubbles from the moisture or contaminates that may have existed in the woods surface.

I really enjoyed the stop motion in this one, you have really improved your ability to have consistent increments so the final animation is very smooth

For all the "failures" I really like how it turned out. And if you had not said they were errors, I would have thought you a genius for the results.

Brilliant sir! You are such an artist.

Absolutely awesome!!

I'll never get my head around people actually pressing dislike on a video like this.

Nice work...looking forward to the next video.

Amo i tuoi video Frank. Campione del mondo.

Those bubbles are a bummer! I'm loving your sphere obsession though. Cheers! Chris.

Beautiful piece!

neat project Frank, well done! always enjoy your lathe work.

absolutely beautiful!!

You can do it with hot glue. I use it to seal molds all the time. You just need to blob it on liberally around the entire base. I usually do about 1/4" bead or so when sealing mold containers.

*@frank howarth* I love and appreciate how you add the natural sound effects to your stop motion bits. I do that too. 👋👍

The bubbles were caused by taking too long to pressurize the 1st pour, hence the separation line between them. And you can seal those plywood pores if you spread hotglue on the inside, BEFORE clamping the slated plywood around it. Cool project, loved the finish you got on it.

Frank you could probably seal the wood with a thin layer of resin using a paintbrush, and when you do the bigger pour, it may reduce the bubbles that are coming from the wood; also to create an enclosure for the resin, you could use mylar and seal it with clear tape.

It looks amazing.

I LOOOOOOOVE this piece!!!!! And I loooove the bubbles!!!!!

When encapsulating high voltage electonics eliminating bubbles is mandatory. What we generally do is first pull a vacuum for a few minutes which causes bubbles to enlarge and float to the surface and pop. When the foam subsides, put the piece under pressure and any tiny bubbles that remain shrink and may even dissolve into the solution. Don't know how much setup time you have when curing the resin ("pot time") but this may be something to try.

The minute you put the wood blank on the cnc I knew you were going to do a landscape and I got so excited!

Amazing..!! I want oneeee ❤️ם❤️ Your spheres are always so incredible! I love the bubbles too!! I get this empty feeling at the end result cuz I just want to hold one while watching your videos! 😝

Nicely done keep them coming

Very nice video and very nice sphere ! Thanks a lot !
