  • 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.

    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!

    @liquidrockaquatics3900 Місяць тому +1

    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
      @GregoryVeizades Місяць тому

      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.

    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.

      I jam chucked the piece with scrap pine and some anti skid drawer liner material. Tightened down on the live center in the tail stock and carefully removed the tenon until there was just a little nub left. Removed that with chisel and hand sanded the bottom. Lot of extra steps that I didn’t think added anything great to the video so I cut it out. I figured no one would even notice. Apparently I was wrong….

    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.

      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!

    being spectrum blind (cant see certain colors, ie navy looks black to me and certain reds and purples look different to me) i can tell you that that looks blue to me in the finished product but is still very beautiful to me.

      Looks blue to me as well but it’s because blue and purple look identical to me. So I chose to think it’s blue. I’m sure you totally understand what I mean. Thanks for watching! Hope you have a great day!

      @@squareandlevel yes i do, i made a hand sewn tunic that was meant to be blue when i was younger and a friend of mine told me it was purple but still went well with the blue rope belt i made... certain greend look blue or yellow to me and certain oranges look red or yellow to me and there are times i cant tell certain shades from each other. so i get it. which is why i ask my kids what color certain things are. makes picking out school cloths and matching things an interesting challenge. So are you spectrum blind or cannot see certain colors at all?

      Thanks Steve! While I am free to travel, I am not a traveling man. ( I’ve been asked that same question a few times over the years). Our paths never crossed. Definitely had some inspiration for my logo though. Thank you for watching sir, I hope you have a great day.

    What is the diameter of your base ring? (the sunshine ring) and the width of your segments on the first ring. Trying to an idea of how to start the ring layers.

      @squareandlevel  2 місяці тому +1

      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. Once all pieces were laid out I could get diameter of entire piece so I could find a good sized tube for the outer mold. Hope that explained it. Thanks for watching. Hope you have a great 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'm confused, did you not put the piece back in the pot to cure? You say later in the video that you do that with the pressure, so this seems a little unbalanced for comparison. Also if you don't use it with resin, what DO you use the vacuum for?
