Woodturning - Can you recycle old resin shavings?
Ойын-сауық
In this woodturning video I will recycle or repurpose some resin shavings from previous projects. Mixed green and red shavings to provide good contrast and casted in clear epoxy resin. Used a nice piece of burl for the base and once it was out of the resin pressure pot it was time to shape the blank using my woodturning lathe. For this application I used my negative rake carbide bits and finished with resin top coat for high gloss premium finish.

The kind of wasteful approach to wood is one of the things about wood turning that has weirded me out. Most craftsmen who work with wood pride themselves on creating little waste. But just grinding things that could clearly be cut out whole during the design phase down to sawdust seems to be the way most people in this craft go. So this is refreshing to me, too.

And the circle will not be broken
Its a never ending paradox, the more shavings he uses, the more he makes, he will never run out
Further evolution of the idea could be a real winner!
Absolutely STUNNING!!! ♻️ Recycling ♻️ at its finest!!! 👍🏾👍🏾 That beautiful vase looks so natural, like you dug it up from the ground! 👏🏾👏🏾 Thank you for sharing.

Very cool! Though it got me to thinking; what if you made a lamp the same way, but used blacklight reactive dye in the resin? I'm curious to know if that would turn out good 🤔
Stunning, love your work & a great inspiration

I’ve never worked with resin and I’m curious about the tape. Could you just put one piece over, pulling it super taught, do your pour and then quickly add the rest of the tape? Also, a beautiful outcome! And, that is one Percheron of a Forstner bit 😱✅ Thanks!
Super work❤❤❤❤❤
Obviously you can turn resin shavings David. Well done.
That is so cool. I love the way you left the top. Happy New Year 🎉🎉🎉

There's not a lot to add to the comments below, the finished vase looked really great. But how did your steady fix to the lathe? And did you make it yourself?😊
Nice project David, but are you going to be recycling the recycled shavings? 😅 All the best for 2024, Mike

@@DavidsWoodturning Haha, I get the eco comments a lot as well
It is very beautifully made from shavings, but it is clear that the edges of the vase are not finished and not processed.
Looks lovely! And finally a good use of the shavings! How many voids appeared? There was pretty much area for the bubbles to stick at
@DavidsWoodturning

Thank you 🙂 Yes there were some this is why i went with a resin top coat finish. Also many bubbles within the shavings. Would have been better to put in the vaccine pot to suck the air out them into the pressure pot to further help with the bubbles
What manufacturer of scraper are you using at 5:12. Looks like negative rake but a huge cutter. Do you have a link please. Nice piece.

Brilliant! I'm curious - is turning epoxy harder on your tools than turning wood?
@DavidsWoodturning

Not really, carbide bits are super durable
So you turned something out of resin without any wood? Or how did you separate the shavings?
@DavidsWoodturning
4 ай бұрын
The resin had some wood still but not very noticeable. I collected this shavings from the early stage of turning when mainly resin on the outside
So the answer is: yes you can. HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎈
