    Thanks mike, nobody else on UA-cam explains things as clearly and concise as you do. One suggestion I will make is to do some of your early programs now that you have built up your audience I feel that they are missing out on a lot of tuition that we can not get anywhere else. You have helped me a lot.

    Mike- have worked with epoxy for years as manager of a boat shop and wish to pass along a couple of tips, the slower the set time = easier management. You don’t have to rush and bubbles are less frequent. 😅A hair dryer is enough to manipulate the popping of any bubbles. A wee bit of warmth gives best results, too much will cook. 😢The thicker the mass the quicker it sets up. So a paper plate ( we used hot dog or French Fries containers) to allow using one corner to mix and then allowing the epoxy to flatten while “resting “ during application. Cheers!

      @MikeHolton  Рік тому +2

      Thanks so much for these tips!! This is what I love most about reading the comments, when someone with way more knowledge than me helps by sharing tips for me and everyone else to take onboard to make the process better. Thanks my friend, I will adapt my technique accordingly. All the best, Mike

  • @lv_woodturner3899
    @lv_woodturner3899 Рік тому +6

    The bowl looks terrific. Nice wood colour and grain. The inlay really sets it off. I like your technique of putting the swarf on after filling the groove, this provides more of the swarf at the surface.
    Tips for the viewers. Check the swarf for oils, especially if obtained from a local machinist. Brass is normally machined dry, but the lathe bed normally has oil residues from earlier machining of other metals which did need lubrication. If the swarf is oily it is best to clean with solvent and let dry.
    Any tool can cut the brass can be HSS or carbide.
    I like using two part epoxy, I prefer longer set time just to give me more time. I do not recommend the use of a polyester resin such as used on fibreglass, the type which uses a couple of drops of MEK (methyl ethyl ketone) for hardener. The reason is that any air bubbles or voids in this resin cannot be fixed with CA glue. I found out the hard way. I used a product called InLace which looks terrific. I had some voids after cleaning off the rim and tried to fill with CA glue, but the CA glue would not cure. I do not know why, I just now avoid polyester resins if possible.
    Dave.

      @@MikeHolton Hi Mike. I haven’t had any issues with that but, according to Jim of Sprague Woodturning (he really knows his stuff), it helps to put some finish in the groove first. Check out some of his older posts. You’ll be very impressed 🌞

    Another great vid. As a baby turner, I haven’t tried any finishing yet. I really appreciate that you explain each step that you take. How do you chose what finish to use? there appear to be so many. Watching a guy who makes huge wood and resin tables, he uses charcoal when mixing a black epoxy as the colour doesn’t run into the wood like some dyes/powders do. 👍🏻😃

    • @MikeHolton
      @MikeHolton  Рік тому +1

      Yeah, I've head that about charcoal, I'll have to give it a try. With regards to finish, if the bowl has more of a natural feel then I will try to use oils and shellac if it more of a presentation piece then I like to use a hard wax. 😃

    This morning I was watching 'Escape to the Country'. at 6 a.m. They check out the kitchen of one house when the camera shows a wooden wall hanging that looked similar to your tree logo! How cool is that? As for your stuffed doggie; I've been noticing that. It's given me an idea. I love PhotoShop and if I get some good screen grabs of you in action, I would PhotoShop myself in them. I'd be small of course. Gotta love Irwin Allen's shows of the 60s, including Land of the Giants, which is cool. LOTGiscool. Watching a giant Mike do wood turning? Awesome! The bowl is another beauty! That metal inlay really makes it top notch (excuse the pun, LOL)!
