In this video I make a piece without the use of a pressure pot and explain why I prefer to use one. Luckily the piece came out pretty good, but I will not be trying this again. I feel a pressure pot is a requirement if turning with resin. Thank you very much to Simple Woodturning Tools for providing the scraper and rougher used in this video. They worked fantastic and I’m sure to get a lot of use out of them in the future.

@brucetempleton9071 2 ай бұрын

Great looking piece! It gave me an idea for something similar with pentagons. I modified my vacuum chamber so that I could pour resin in while under vacuum. I usually leave the wood in for as much as 12 hours before adding the resin without breaking the vacuum. I then wait for the resin to degas, after which it goes into the pressure pot. The result is absolute clarity. I also use glue my project to a piece of sacrificial OSB.so that I don't have to screw the flange into the work piece. It's easy to part off the OSB when the bowl is all but finished, then flip it and hold it by the rim for the final work on the bottom. Much less material, particularly resin, is wasted that way. Keep up the good work!

@sturdyboneswoodworking Ай бұрын

@liquidrockaquatics3900 Ай бұрын

The short version of using a pressure pot versus a vacuum chamber is that a pressure pot shrinks bubbles really small so they’re hard to see while a vacuum chamber performs a different function entirely; with a vacuum chamber, it will force air out of the wood into the epoxy, and this will cause more bubbles that must then be popped. If you wanted, you could stabilize wood first, then use a pressure pot and it basically eliminates any bubbles, but presealing the wood or using a deep casting epoxy will give time for any stray bubbles to get to the surface hopefully. I don’t stabilize wood myself, but I love watching wood stabilizing videos and seeing what people create

@GregoryVeizades Ай бұрын

If large enough you can let the resin cure under vacuum. However that will replace the air in the wood with the resin in use so you might have to stabilize first. A slow curing resin cured under vacuum will be extremely free of bubbles.

@scottdahlberg4890 Ай бұрын

Well I am a purple nut. So I love it anyways. The finished product is just absolutly amazing. I would be pround to own it. Love the production work. Your are right about the pressure method, I have seen lots of videos of where it (the project) came out better. My hat is off to you Sir.

Hello. This is the first time I've watched one of your videos. work is really fantastic, and I liked that in this video you both illustrated how to create the piece but also the tools required to do it, and the reasoning behind your preferences. I do have one general question: Are you able to do anything with the wood and/resin 'shaving' that comes off as your working? I know virtually nothing about woodworking, but it seems there would be a way with more resin and the pressure machine to create an interesting looking piece.

Another gorgeous project! Do you typically use Alumilite resin for casting these projects? I have yet to cast with epoxy. I agree that curing under pressure is preferred. I just purchased a vacuum chamber and Cactus Juice from Curtis Seebeck with plans to stabilize the wood for these projects.

@squareandlevel 2 ай бұрын

Thanks Tim! I have moved away from using the Alumilite for now. The Epoxy is just must easier to work with. I’ve found little to no difference in the way it turns or effort needed in finishing. The stabilizing process definitely helps with the alumilite but it is a multiple day, if not longer process. So It makes the fast cure time kinda pointless. Wish you the best of luck in your turning projects. Thanks for watching, hope you have a great day!

Hi Amy, I used a hexagon calculator on my phone to determine what size the pieces need to be to start with, ( I’m not smart enough to remember that kind of geometry from school. It was too long ago). The pieces were actually supposed to be 1” x by .866” but that’s getting a little more precise than I need to be considering there is resin in between all the pieces. 7/8” is close enough in this instance. If the pieces were 1” square the sides of the hexagon would not have been equal. They would have been lopsided. Thank you very much for commenting on all my videos. Much appreciated. Have a good day!

Question: Is there a reason you couldn't have it cure inside of a vacuum chamber? As far as I know resin, unlike glue, doesn't cure when exposed to air, but it's a timed chemical process. So you should be able to cure it in the vacuum chamber instead, and use that to get out all the air. Or maybe pull all the air out of the whole item using a vacuum, and then, for any air that happens to still be there, let the rest of the curing still happen under pressure. Just a thought.

I think you are going about this differently than I did. I was not concerned with diameters. I laid out the center line first using a straight edge then worked off that as a reference.
