Really like your calm, no nonsense no hype no music style. Much appreciated.
I think it's such a lovely, selfless thing you are doing here, showing everybody how u do the beautiful stuff you do, especially when you actually sell it yourself.. I myself just came across this kinda accidently & have no intention, nor probably knowledge/equipment to do it. But it is very interesting & stunning. So thanks for sharing :)
Thanks Casey, learn something new every time I watch your videos. Beautiful blanks!!!
The silver leaf looks absolutely beautiful.
These are amazing! Smaller versions of these would make awesome pendants for jewelry.
02:07 Wow, how many times have a thought "when I mix my resin it's going to look cool like that" when I see a cool resin color transition. All the time. And when I visualize me mixing it's with a popsicle stick. You just saved me time and $$ not having to figure that out after 3-5 unsuccessful tries and still in the back of my mind thinking... I need to mix with straws or something lol. Thanks buddy!
Love the designs! Stimulates the imagination, Thanks!
I very much enjoy your videos I like the preparation part. Gives you an insight to what you can decide to do with these blanks. Very nice videos thank you
Wicked!! Those all turned out awesome, great walk through on making them and some great tips in there!
Thanks Zac!! They’re honestly some of the most fun blocks to make
Those are beautiful! I love that red Maylee Burl with that intense red metallic resin! Beautifully done! Thank you for sharing. Many blessings on your Etsy store also!
Thanks Tracy!! I love how they look too!
@@CaseyMartin707 hi Casey, I am looking for some custom pieces. Should I contact you through etsy to discuss this in detail?
I am feeling inspired after watching this and very excited to be getting a lathe this weekend!!!! :)
Michelle Lynn are you still using your lathe?
so how innit?
The green and red were amazing!
Hello Casey, your work is amazing, you know I work in jewelry, I make silver rings with gold for the lost wax system and your art has good applications for jewelry (the text I did with the google translator), regards, is beautiful your art.
Saludos y es hermoso tu trabajo, lo miré en los links, Feliz fin de semana
Just went to your Etsy account and those blanks look fantastic!!!!!
Love it Casey , you actually gave me some ideas on using Resin and doing DIY art using that !
Thanks Palvika!
Can you make a block
1 1/8"× 1 1/8× 10" with a cool burl and translucian neon green?
Dope. Love the colors
Hello men, amaizing micarta, increíble! Grettigs from Colombia, nice video, tks a Lot for sharing
Love the pine cone ones.
Outstanding color blending yet do sharp & clean looking. Interested to see your pressuring process.
Very Nice! I love all the color!
Quick note from an Aussie (who happened to grow up in the region those burls are from), the soft-emphasis is on the 'Mal' in Mallee, like how the soft-emphasis in 'resin' is on the 'res'. Beautiful work, Casey!
I will have to listen to a correct pronunciation so I can get it right! Thanks for the tip Dan!
These look amazing
They look like they would make awesome knife handles
I loved the red 1 but the green 1 is cool also
Wonderful projects!
So that's how beautiful stab wood squonkers are made!
Luv the white x
Super cool man!!!
You just plain do some fine work!
Thanks Rick!
amazing work.
Trop trop beau j'adore, je vais tester merci
Mr. Casey, May you please tell me how you treat the burl before you add it to the resin? How is the burl "turnable" on a lathe without disintegrating? Thanks
New sub. Love your pieces. Hope to use one in a future vid.
Very interesting! What measurements do you have for your moulds?
Hi Casey. Wonderful work. May I ask where you got these molds? Are they sillicone?Thanks a lot?
Are there any videos that show how you select, cut and anchor the wood in the mold?
Hey I'm trying to get into allumilite casting like this and I'm just wondering what's the difference of using dyes and pigments in your resin.
I just bought a mold from maneater.com. I bought the knife scale mold and I liked it so much, Tom is making me a custom size for knifes.
Awesome. I make my own molds! Much more cost effective, but obviously takes time
Beautiful
Where do you fing your burl pieces for these blanks? Just curious. I want to give this s try.
Great video. You've got me wanting to do this.
I'm sure nyou know that you do great WORK!!!! how would you use it for Jewelry making and what are the pricing?
Magnificent sir
when you cut the blocks after the come out of the pressure pot and the wood is exposed ,does the wood has to be treated after that or is it still surrounded by resin?
Great Video! Which Resin you use exactly..which pot-life and demold-time? And which pressure/vacuum-pot? thanks a lot! :)
Lovely!
I would one of those blocks on its own and just some rgbw lights underneath
I'm defenitely buying off of your Etsy shop for my knife handle scales (I'm a bladesmith) they're dope af.
Thanks man I appreciate that! Would love to see one of yours made with them!
@@CaseyMartin707 Will def send pics
Hi Casey, can you tell where is a good place to buy wood blocks, burls pieces, etc, not yet stabilized ?
I'm a new guy to this and was wondering where is the best place to shop for nice burl like your use?
Gracias! Muy bonito!
Nice Job Man! Also i have a question. Where i can find this kind of wood? Thkns!!
If i make it lika that too can it be made into a box mod vape?
It's like a little cloud nebula from the Hubble Telescope.
these are Western Australian banksia seed pods . i feel you could do some amazing art with these
As I was watching I recognized them from etsy . I really like the white one. I have a question on this material. How thin can I cut this material? I need to band saw a block into 1/8 thick strips.
You can very easily cut it that thin. The Alumilite is stronger than most woods actually so thin cuts are practically the same. I’ve cut it that thin for knives a few times with no problem
Nice job, one question do you use silicone mold for those?
awesome blanks they are beautiful can you share where to buy wood to make blanks of knife handle scales im new to this thanks Mark subbed and liked
I like to see more knife blanks
Great 👍🏽
What’s the name of the spray that u used after !?
Qué belleza 💝
Nice work my friend...What kind of wood you used?
Good work
What are these used for? They look incredible, but do they have a use? 🤔
Nice video Jacob... I mean Casey!
Hahahaha thanks Parker!
Amazing. What’s the size of each blank ?
Great video! Do you have instruction or a materials list for what you used to make the casting form?
I have a video on how I make my molds!
Very nice
Does anybody know if these can be cut to 1/4” - 3/8” thick pieces lengthwise,? On a bandsaw?
Don't know if you're still reading this but i'll ask anyway: is there a reason that you're using a Pressure Pot for resin casting and a Vacuum Chamber for Stabilizing Wood? You can't do the resin casting in the vacuum chamber? And great video btw!
Maybe you could use a sifter for your powders.
Добрый день, подскажите из какого материала у вас форма белого цвета,которой закрепляете на саморезы?
Hey how are you Thanks for everything you offer us I want to ask you Are you mixing Rezin only ?? Mixture or epoxy؟
Not sure exactly what you’re asking. Epoxy is a form of resin. So is Alumilite. I am only using Alumilite, which is a polyurethane resin.
отличные работы!!!респект!!!
Did you stabilize the burl before adding the resin?
Do you stabilize the wood before you cast them?
Very awesome! Where can I find wood like that?? Can you order it? Prolly a dumb question but I'm new to this just trying to find some interesting wood types
Yes you can online
I don't have any grape vine or dry enough wood burles but I have a bunch of Y'S from small branches..
beach and white birch to be exact..
I had the idea before I stabilize them for casting to let some of the peices soak in blue dye..
Would it be easier to dye the birch vs the beach?
My idea is to dye half my pieces, leave the other half natural and use red alumilite... merica!
Sounds like an awesome plan brother! Honestly I have no idea. Whichever seems to be denser, and have really tight grain, is probably the one that would be harder to soak dye into. But that just means you can let it soak for longer. Good luck man!
Ok man.. I'll try dyeing the birch, I'll post up a video of my end result if it comes out decent lol..
Now which one of these blanks was actually used to make that watch from that watch company
Is Their A Main Website Where I Can Purchase All These Resin Products To Start Making My Own Products?
Amazing work, Casey. I’ve got a question. Where can I source stabilized wood like this for pen blanks?
I stabilize all my own wood. Not sure where you can buy already stabilized live edge pieces.
Ebay
Hi! Great works!
I’m trying to do something similar but I’m finding many problems with the mold. What material is it of? Any problem when you remove it? Only remove the screws and open the mold?
It’s made of HDPE. I have a video on how to make them!
Thanks ;) I found it!
Tenk og lage kjøkkenbenk i fine farver og i tileg tåler vannsøl og ser pent ut inne på ett kjøkken?
Trabalho lindo❤️🥰👏
nice video. Any chance you can share the link where you got your block molds? thanks
I make them myself. I have a video on how I made them!
Have the mallee burrs been stabilized first? I appreciate spalted woods which are porous need it, but mallee seems so dense to start with.
I have stabilized some of them, but some I haven’t for the exact reason you’re mentioning. They’re so dense and hard to begin with I didn’t really see the point.
hola buen dia ,,,,,,,,
que tipo de pintura utilizas , de que marca y características son ????
Amazing video and very well explained! Is it necessary to use a pressure pot or is it possible to make nice blanks without it? :)
Absolutely necessary for Alumilite. Not necessary for some epoxy resins like Liquid Diamonds for example. But most casting epoxies don’t cure as hard as polyurethanes. That being said it still works great for a lot of purposes
thank you for your answer it really helped
cheers
nice! I looked on your tools page and didn't see what you use to frame-out the casting (looks like milk opaque plexi or something?). What is the material you use as the box around the wood when you pour the resin?
It’s HDPE plastic, which is on there! I also have a video on how I make the molds too
@@CaseyMartin707 thank you! I don't know how I missed it. & will watch the vdeo on making them. Cheers
What kind of material do you use for your form?
Brilliant work, what blade (number of teeth) do use in your table saw for cutting Alumilite blocks? Thanks
Diablo ultra fine 80 teeth
Casey Martin Thanks for replying, does that blade cope well with stabilised wood within the resin?
Yes. The resin is harder than stabilized wood. So the resin is actually what is harder to push through
Сам контейнер, где происходит формирование бруска, выполнен из фторопласта?
Can you make a blank 1 1/8×1 1/8×10". And 1"×1"×5" transulciant neon green with stabilized burl light like maple or tge stuff in this video
Интересная идея. Спасибо.
Hey these are really good...
But i am a bit confused that what exactly these can be used for...
Do mind telling me please???
It’s for making things out of. They can be made into pens, knife handles, or anything imaginable
Nice technique!
What kind of saw is the red one? Is it typical wood saw?
It’s a Grizzly table saw. Any table saw will work fine, or band saw
@@CaseyMartin707 thanks! Maybe the thing is I used different epoxy. I think it was too hard and fragile. I couldn't get clean cut...
where did you get the burl wood from?. and do you have a link as to where to get it?. thanks!..awesome video tutorial
I get it from a lot of different places online as well as from friends or special relationships. Just google burl caps online and you’ll find them everywhere from companies and on eBay.
@@CaseyMartin707 thanks for the reply. i live in Canada and just getting started into resin casting and really love the burl mallee look..beautiful. any ideas as where i can search from here?.. i know a long shot..but every time i search it sends me on a wild goose chase. i really like the texture and that's what i'm looking for. i even started searching wood shops in Australia.any help in direction as to where i can find would be much appreciated...thanks in advance
Dam, you have the fastest mixing hands in the west!
What size are the blanks you are making?
Is there a standard size for knife handles?
They are roughly 2” square or 2.25” square and 6.5” long. Standard sizes vary. Usually around 1.75”-2” wide, around 5” long, and thickness varies. Usually for one scale around 1/4-3/8” is standard. I’m not a huge expert in the field since I don’t make the knives myself, just sell the material, but that’s what I’ve seen the most
Thanks
what are the approximate measures of the blocks ??? congratulations for the work !!!
Depends but if I utilize the full size of the mold they’re 6.5x2.5x2.5 inches
The Alumilite link is now dead, can you tell me what you use?
This is fantastic! How did you make the mold though?
I have a video on making them! I made it pretty recently
@@CaseyMartin707 Thanks, yeah My sister found it for me :) parts ordered, will try and build one tomorrow!
