Nice vase, PF. It is good to see that you have some sponsors to your channel. Your hard work is beginning to pay off. Also, the ad ponsorships go to show that you have gained trust with advertisers. That means you are doing a good job. But, I wish Carter & Son tools would offer a sponsorship since you have gone out of your way of promoting their tools for quite some time FREE of charge and out of the goodness of your heart because you believe in their products. At the least, they could say THANK YOU.

@boooshes 8 ай бұрын

A technique that I routinely use for epoxy resin filling that helps minimize the voids (without using a pressure or vacuum pot) is to heat the wood around and in the cracks with a heat gun (not to extreme, but you want the cracks warm), apply the sealing tape, then heat the epoxy resin with the gun as you slowly pour it in. This significantly refuces the viscosity of the resin (making it act more like water) and the capillary action of the small cracks will draw the watery epoxy in, rather than resisting being filled. You do not want to use fast cure hardener and never heat the epoxy to a temperature where it starts to smoke. It works well for me to use a heat gun aimed ar the stream of epoxy as it is leaving my mixing container. Warming the wood first ensures that the epoxy doesn't cool too fast as it makes it's way into the cracks.

@tompuskar4426 8 ай бұрын

Great job, Peggy. Te vase looks beautiful. Have you ever considered making a hot glue "dam" around the cracks instead of using the tape? Would probably allow you to fill the cracks in a single pour with less mess. I've done it a number of times with good success. Just a thought.

Yes I have, I tend to have better luck with Tuck Tape.

@tomcollier2444 8 ай бұрын

I do similar work filling long cracks with resin, and find filling from the end grain traps a lot of air causing voids. My method now is to rough turn to a parallel cylinder, ie no curves. Lay the log flat and fill each crack one at a time. When pouring I agitate the resin in the crack with a long stiff wire. Still get those annoying 'pin' holes but nowhere near as bad as those you demonstrate here. Coincidentally, much of my current output is cherry, being as I have so much of it at the moment. A fellow turner informed me that cherry is prone to develop fine line cracks during sanding, which I have experienced more than once. Like most woods heat can cause this but this guy is of the opinion that cherry is worse than most. I'm inclined to agree! Anyway, I love your end result, cherry is so well figured and the pieces I have at home mellow with age and the grain becomes more defined. Gotta love a bit of cherry!!

@PFWoodturning 8 ай бұрын

Yes, I don't get a lot of cherry, so it's nice once in a while. Thanks for watching.

I struggle with the EWT hollowing tools sometimes. I have a set of John Jordans if you can still get them (I think his wife still sells them) They are HSS tips and can do a great job with aggressive hollowing without the chatter you may get with EWT on harder woods. That said, I think the EWT #1 is the best hollowing tool they make.
