Genius pulling the head stock south.
We call that conquering a senior moment.
😆
LOL yup!! I finally had the light bulb go off 🤣
I've watched so many HOURS of vids. My favorite piece I've ever seen done. Well done kind sir .
Very Lovely Wooden Work......16//02//2023....... GURUWAR (THURSDAY).......
Hurrah! My favorite format! Thing for the banding machine fire! Vase fly away! Bow from Belarus! :)
Thank you 😊
I learn something new,or a few new things,every time I watch your videos!! Thanks!
Honestly, after seeing that blank, I thought it was going to look like... um... crap. But nope, I was shocked at just how beautiful it turned out! The top, which looked like cones trapped in ice, melting its way down the lamp to spring. Absolutely gorgeous!
Although I will say it looked far better on its own as a vase than it did mounted on wood with LED's inside of it.
The outsides of blanks can be really deceiving, it's what's inside that counts 😀 I was really tempted to switch gears and just make that into a vase, but I really wanted to see the original project idea through to the end. Overall, I'm really happy with the lamp, but I am definitely making a vase sometime down the road
So beautiful winter alpine vase
Winter wonderland. That is beautiful Zac. You make it look so easy
Thanks Phillip! Well, overall it wasn't too difficult to make this one. The hardest part was the deep hollowing, and I set myself up as best I could with the steady rest and stabilizer, and I just took my time and kept my fingers crossed 🤞 😉
This is super nice! I was surprised to find out how much I like pinecones cast in resin.
Thanks Carol! Yeah, those pinecones really look cool in resin, one of my favorites 😀
That looks awesome Zac👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Scott 👊😀
ZAC THE VASE CAME OUT AWESOM GREAT JOB. FROM DOUG
Thanks Doug!!
That is one amazing lamp! Certainly worth the wait
Thanks Jerry! Glad to finally have gotten to make this one 😀
What a beautiful piece. Great work Zack.
Thanks Twyla 😀
I respect the leaps of faith you make in exploring new ways to wrestle resin into creative pieces of art.
That is amazing the colour with those pine cones is outstanding well done Zac
Absolutely stunning!! Beautiful Zac!!
Thanks Rick!!
Amazing project Zac. Inspired again.
This video was so worth the wait. I love watching everything you make but this might be my favorite. Merry Christmas, brother!
Took a while, but I finally got it done!! Glad you enjoyed it Tony, Merry Christmas!! 🎅🏻🌲
An outstanding work of art sir. Simply stunning, the colors are just great. It's a beautiful piece indeed. The LED light work great with this piece. Thanks for all your hard work on both sides of the camera. And thanks for sharing it with us. 🌿 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
When the colored light comes through the lamp it reminds me of the Northern Lights! Daaaaang
Love the flashing lights in there, just a little extra fun 😀
Purple mountain majesty popped into my head when I saw all those gorgeous colors intermingled. Beautiful piece!
That's a good one, definitely goes well with this one 😀
That is absolutely gorgeous.
Thanks Chris!
WoW, That turned out Beautifully 😍
Thanks Connie!! 😀
Just gorgeous!!! There are not really words, just a dropped jaw and wishing I could do something like that!
Thanks Natasha!! If I can do it, anyone can. Just take your time, and you can accomplish anything 😀
That turned out fantastic! Great work! I use a cup turner to coat slow clear platters with ACC to make them food safe. I made a small tapered glue block that I tape to the bottom of the plate then put it in the pvc then coat it.
That's perfect! I got the idea for the rotisserie from the cup turners 😀
Nuostabus meno kūrinys 👍👍👍👍👍
Linkiu sėkmės kuriant naujus meno kūrinius.

That really turned out awesome. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it Mark 😀
Someone must have kidnapped Zac! That is not him in the Video!
I know this because the video is under 30 minutes long.
LMAO! Well done Zac. Have a Merry Christmas!
It was short!! LOL Merry Christmas Matthew 🎅🏻😀
Makes me think of the Sierras! I do miss looking out seeing them. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. 👍🇺🇸
I hear that!! I love our beautiful Sierras 😀 Bout time to get up on the mountain and do some snowboarding once all the vacation crowd goes home. We had a pretty good Christmas, hope yours was awesome too!!
Zak, this piece is amazing. To me, it looks like you are at the bottom of the ocean,looking up to the sky. The colors are beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much 😀
I know its an older video, but this thing looks awesome, great job
Great project! Gives me so many ideas I think I will try to rig something up with a rotisserie motor.
Thanks John! Yeah, those little motors can come in really handy for all kinds of fun stuff! =D
@@ZacHiggins I am going to try a 'latheless' setup. If it actually works I will send a pic 😉
Beautiful piece, Zac!
Thanks Billy!! BTW heard the news on the stream tonight, and I"m sending all my good thoughts your way brother 👊🙏💪
WOW that is a very Beautiful pinecone and resin led lamp Zac! Thank you for sharing the video with us! and Merry Christmas!💖👌👍😎JP
Thanks for checking it out, have a Merry Christmas 😀
Your very welcome Zac! Thank you :) You have a very Merry Christmas as well my Friend!🎄🎁😎
Very cool, nicely done Zack. Stay safe.....
Thank you! You too =D
Oh my gosh Zac, that is simply A mazing. Turned out really awesome. Take care and wishing you and gretchen a very Happy Christmas.
Thanks Val! Have a Merry Christmas!!
Very beautiful job
Great job Zac. Truly amazing.
Beautiful project Zac! I have to put that on my list of things to do. Thanks for the video.
Definitely do, it's a fun one. After turning the lamp though, now I want to make a vase hollow form. Really loved that shape!
I love the look of pine cones in resin gives off. I mostly turn pen blanks with pine cones, but this case is insane. Great work, Zac.
Thanks Robert!! I love using pinecones with resin, they always add such a cool pattern in it 😀
Thank You so much! Thats really Kunsthandwerk! Danke.
It looks absolutely awesome. Merry Christmas
Thank you J'Lyssa. Merry Christmas 🎁 🎄 🎅🏻
Beautiful
Beautiful!!
SOOOOOO good!
Bro, that is amazing!!!
Thanks so much!! Really fun to make and made a great gift for my Mom for xmas 🎅🏻
Very nice, great job
Thanks Vern!
We had a sled like that in “Wood Shop” back in the 70’s - it just a cross cut sled with “V” blocks. The idea of cutting off slices is a great idea - will steal that one from you. It’s cool to hear you talk about a project on the pod cast and then get to see the video - keep that in mind for future pod casts and projects. Interesting how you drilled, then ‘smoothed out” a section at a time- nice technique. The finishing technique is awesome - looks great!!. Your color choices and placements is great - looks like tree tops at the bottom followed by snow and then a cloudy sky. The purple is just a nice addition. Great tips in this video. All in all - bang up job - came out fantastic
Thanks so much!! Yeah, this one took a while to get totally completed, so it got brought up a couple times on the podcast. Glad you were excited to see it after I mentioned working on it.
That's awesome work, I love it.
Hi Doug!
This is a gorgeous piece of art! Absolutely love it! 😍😍😍
Thanks Becky 😃
So cool buddy! Merry Christmas to you and the fam!
Thanks Gage!! Merry Christmas 🎁 🎄 🎅🏻
Absolutely LOVE the look with the pinecones and everything. Absolutely gorgeous piece!
Thanks Mishelle 😀 I love the look of pinecones too, so much fun!!
That Came Out Freekin' Awesome Zac! Merry Christmas Brother!
Thanks Brother!! 👊 Merry Christmas 🎅🏻
Woohoo FIRST!! Zac, that is SO PRETTY!! I really love the way it turned out. And man, that base is purddy too. Such a great project. Merry Christmas!!
Thanks Kris! I had this project planned in my head for months, so glad to finally get it made. Merry Christmas 🎄 😀
That’s absolutely stunning Zac, now The other half wants one 😂
Haha!! Well, can you blame her? 😉
I love when the green lights came on. It almost looked like the northern lights. You did an awesome job. Merry Christmas man!
Thanks so much!! Yeah, that LED adds some fun in there, great little accent lamp 😀
Zac..really nice design , craftsmanship and excellent video. Using thin coat of resign for the finish is great technique and have done flood coats on flat work, now ready to try on my turning projects. Merry Christmas! Bill
Thanks Bill! I'm really loving the resin finishes, they just really pop like nothing else I've tried 😀
@@ZacHiggins It is really strong and waterproof too. Your lathe speed appears to be perfect as well. My variable speed lathe does not go that slow so going to build a slower turner out of a rotisserie motor.
Have a great New Year! Bill
Its pretty
dang this project is crazy awesome. and i learned so much just by watching. maybe you’ll find the time between 3d resin printing and livestreams to do something like this again soon? 😆 (i love watching all that stuff too of course)
Hi Zac, that is bada$$!
Thanks Bruce! Finally got this one completed, definitely digging how it turned out =D
@@ZacHiggins definitely diggin this one!! Like them all though!!
I just finished watching this project from beginning to end and I keep saying "OMG OMG OMG" how exquisite! I love it and am so inspired by it. Wow, thank you so much for taking on such a memorable project. I want to make this so bad but I think I better see if I can turn a hollow vessel first. Just amazing.
Great job. Beautiful
Great Job Zac, I'll share it for ya, you have a Merry Christmas buddy.
Thanks Doug!! I appreciate it. Merry Christmas to you too 🎅🏻😀
Ooooohhhh that's pirdy, I like
This is your best work yet Zac, absolutely ridiculous man! The purple color jumping out of the snowy green colors looks great! With pine cones added It's like seeing the night sky off of a snow covered mountain top! Merry Christmas sir!
Thanks so much!! I really had a blast making this one, so many fun things went into it 😀
Great video Zac. You have given me some very good ideas on how to do some of my own projects. I'm in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia. I have almost finished making something very similar to this, but with a lid, as an urn for a friend's father's ashes. I don't have any fancy hollowing system, so I cheated and hollowed from both ends, and then made a jarrah base and recessed the body of the hollow form into the base. I got the brass threaded inserts for the lid sent to me by Carl Jacobsen in the States. Coating the inside with clear resin is definitely much easier done as you said by just dumping some in there and turning / working in your hands, and then pouring out any excess. There's a couple of minor imperfections in mine that I'm going to sand out and then re-coat, but if it comes out looking anywhere near as good as yours, I'll be very happy.
This is awesome!
So awesome!!!
Awesome project Zach,. I am just starting to try using resins, so have to say your video have been great help. I am really interested in how you made your slow turning motor. I have been thinking about something like that for a while. Thanks, and keep up the great ideas!
Thanks David! Glad to hear you're playing with resins and that my videos have been helpful. I'm posting a video on that slow motor tomorrow that shows everything in depth =D
Wow Zac! Great project!! You should be really proud of this one!! Always inspiring! thanks again! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Thanks Amy!! I am definitely proud of this one, going to be a great xmas gift for someone special =D Merry Christmas!!
Very cool
I just use 2 smaller vedges or vedge cut pices infron and back of the round peice I am cutting
Awesome!
I liked everything about this video, including the length. Looking forward to learning more about hooking the slow turner to the lathe. Do you know how that clear cast resin would work on the inside of drinking vessels?
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm not a proponent of using resins on things that you will be drinking out of. I just don't know enough about the food safety issue, so I personally steer clear of using resins on things that you would eat/drink out of
Cool thanks 🤩 r Ricky
Hi SIR..BOY THATS THE BEST LOOKING SET OF COLOURS IVE SEEN TO DATE IN EPOXY...REALLY LOVE THE PINE CONES IN IT TO..WE ARE IN .. N.S.W. AUSTRALIA. AND THEY HAVE REAL BIG CONES HERE SO WOULD LOVE TO TRY TURNING SOME IN THE EPOXY...WOULD YOU MIND IF WE ASK YOU A QUESTION WE WENT AND BOUGHT A VACUM POT THIS WEEK AND AS IT HAS A BOOKLET IN IT SAYING THE SIZE OF NO MORE THAN FOUR INCHES WIDE AN NO MORE THAN EIGHT INCHES HIGH IS STATED.. THAT DOSE NOT SEEM MUCH AS I DO GO A BIT BIGGER THAN THAT AND WHAT YOU HAVE MADE IS ALSO....HOPING YOU MAY BE ABLE TO ADVISE...THAKS FOR GREAT FILM AND GREAT THANKS...DAVID..
Really nice Zac. Did you stabilize or otherwise dry the pine cones before casting them? BTW just ordered the Carter band saw sled! Thanks for describing it. Merry Christmas and best wishes for a happy, HEALTHY New Year.
Thanks Tom! Glad the miter mill is something you can use too, it's the perfect little sled for round things. I did stabilize the pinecones, definitely helps stiffen them up. Merry Christmas!!
Wow! It came out pretty sweet Z. I know it's sacrilege to even think this... but I'm wondering if the base might match a little better with some color. (Just a thought...) 😊 BTW, any chance you can share with us where you picked up the light you used? Thanks, V
Thanks Mike! Yeah, some color in the base might be pretty cool too. Oh yeah, I forgot to put links to the LED light, thanks for reminding me, here's the link... amzn.to/3ayrkBd
Beautiful turn, Zac. Did you stabilize your cones? I do not on my mills but I do keep filling them with CA while sanding. I do spray them with lacquer before pouring to seal them up. It seems to work well.
Cheers,
Lee
Thanks Lee! I believe they were all stabilized, maybe one or two snuck in that weren't. I usually stabilize things like that so I don't have to worry about them holding moisture in, and they turn a little better than non-stabilized cones too
Wow! Love it! Did you pour the resin all at once or in stages and did you stabalizethe pinecones? Merry Christmas!
Thank you. I poured it all at once using Alumilite Clear Slow, and I did stabilize the pinecones. Merry Christmas to you too 😀🎅🏻
great looking finished product! I like how the light shines thru.
it looks like it'd be easy to accidentally knock over, tho.
if you drilled a few holes around the opening of the base and the bottom of the lamp, plugged the holes in the base with dowels that extend an inch or so, and then sat the lamp on top of that, do you think that would make it more stable without detracting from the overall finish? or do you think the dowels would be visible through the resin when the light is on?
That's a good idea, definitely couldn't hurt. It's pretty stable as it is though, and we placed it where you won't accidentally hit it. So, I don't think I'll change it, but I'll keep it in mind for next time
Awesome Zac! You are an inspiration for a newbie resin turner. Is that rotisserie motor connected to the outboard side of the headstock?
Thanks Craig, I hope you give something like this a try. Yep, the motor is hooked to the handwheel on the other side of the headstock. I'm putting a video together showing the setup soon, keep your eyes peeled 😀
Zac this is an amazing piece. When I saw the shape I thought you had made a vase but it looks good as a lamp too. Almost makes one wonder if you misjudged the depth when hollowing and changed course to save the project.🤔 Either way its awesome.
Thanks RB. This was intended to be a lamp with a through hole from the start, but it sure would be a great way to salvage a mess up too 😉
Love this piece. I noticed the mold you used was PVC pipe. What was the piece on the bottom of the mold with hose clamp? Looked like a rubber cap. Where do you get those? Thanks
Do you have a video on installation of the rotisserie?
When u dried out the pine cones how long did u do it for ?
You can avoid the sagging in your absence by leaving the item on an electric bbq motor. ✌
That's exactly what I did, but I think I set the timer for the wrong amount of time
im off subject of this video, but i got a problem. i used 1 of those silicone cake pans for my 2nd pour ever. it leaked some from the seam. it was the same pan you used in a prior video. my real problem though is the glass bottom is stuck like chuck. any suggestions? thanks Fresh Air Woodshop -Kansas
That's a total bummer! I had one leak on me too, they can be hit or miss. I never had an issue with the resin sticking to the glass, I'm not sure what you can do other than try to wedge a putty knife or something in there to pop it off
@@ZacHiggins i put it in the freezer. i took my thinnest putty knife to it. it was pretty intense. i felt like the glass was going to shatter at any moment, but i prevailed! i do think freezing it helped. next time ill test the pan to see if it hold water, if not maybe ill silicone the seam where silicone meets glass.? thanks for the reply!
Beautiful piece. The music is distractingly loud.
The form is lovely but I can't watch till the end as the music is driving me mad. I'll skip to the end but won't like and subscribe because of the music.
