Good presentation Jake. Well worth my time viewing. I watched another vid of yours on converting a painters pot into a pressure pot which I will be doing myself tomorrow. I am in Australia so dimensions are in metric so will have a guy helping me. Stay good mate. Cheers, Dave, Beachmere, Australia
@@JakeThompson I wish I could send you my first orb that I made I've made some mistakes on it and it's been a hassle to clean up plus bring it to a shine plus also got some Thin layers I need to sand off so it's equal
Just a question on reusing the silicon mold. You said that with the hand mold, you'd be able to take it apart. You'd put the pieces into another mold. Basically, it is 100% reusable with other molds if you are unhappy with it. Is this correct?
As long as it doesn’t have mold release on it… you can also wash mold release off.. I use scrap pieces of silicone all the time as fillers when I don’t need to use new silicone for the entire mold. I also make sure the silicones are a similar hardness.. I wouldn’t mix super different silicones together.. I hope this answers your question 😊
Nothing wrong with using water.. I just didn’t want to have to dry the molds out before I poured some resin. Stay tuned on the molds.. I want to get them perfect before I sell them .
Lots of great mold making information here! Thanks for sharing it. Just one suggestion. The use of rice is really not a very good choice for approximating the required volume of resin. The best would be a liquid since it is the most dense and so the most representative of the actual volume of space you are trying to fill with resin. Do it once, let the mold dry and you know accurately how much resin each mold requires - literally to the millilitre. Next best would be fine salt or sugar. I guess you're satisfied with the casts you get using pressure alone, but degassing first and then finishing with a pressure pot will make the resultant blanks perfect (might be overkill if you use sufficient pressure).
Thanks.. I didn’t use liquid because I really didn’t want to have to dry it before I cast into it.. I was on a deadline for this video… I do very beginner videos and try to not get too technical.. but you are exactly right
Great video! I just have one question. What's the reason for using rice instead of water? Seems like water would be exact. Is it because you don't want any moisture in the molds?
Amazing Video Jake! The Molds look super cool! If I had a CNC machine I would try myself. If you do pursue the idea and decide to sell them, I will defiantly buy one. I like the #JakeBlanks on the one mold. The blanks look amazing. Cant wait for the 30K video, and all others you have coming up! Great Video as always.
Have u ever made a mold where the object you r making had a hole down the center? Pen blanks have to be drilled why not make them so you have the hole in the center? Saves on acrylic, especially for duck call or goose call blanks?
I didn’t want to get the molds wet.. I was filming this and didn’t have time.. after I’ve made a cast I just weigh the cast .. the resin I use is by weight so it works out.
I probably missed this but for prototyping purposes why not fill the mold with water? Surely that's the best way to get the volume of it? I know rice is the go-to for molds you can't get wet and/or want to use right away but in this case it's a silicone prototype and you can just leave it to air dry Great video otherwise, much better audio!
I appreciate the compliment on the audio.. I’m starting to get somewhere on that.. I normally just use the rice.. so it was kind of just habit.. I am going to fill them with water to know exactly how much resin.. pretty much just left it like that to show that there’s always something to change.. I said in the video that I knew it would use more resin and I just left it like that to show that the rice leaves you a little low, but gets you in the ballpark.

I sure would like to receive one of your blanks! Great job... I'm trying to make some tomorrow!!!
@@alpell2547 Thank you 🙏.. you got this
Awesome video Jake
Thanks Donald I appreciate it 👍👍
Beautiful pen blanks! I love your videos!
Thank you Renee, glad you enjoy the videos 😃
Very good prototype video Jake! 👍
Thanks David!! 👍👍
It has been great watching your continual growth through your RUclips career. 👍
Thank you Robert.. it’s been a long and awesome ride. No end in sight. 👍👍

Thank you David. Glad I can help out.. Welcome to the channel 👍
Good looking molds Jake. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Doug.. I’m glad you enjoyed. 👍👍
That's a lot of work Jake. But, I know you and you're having FUN.
Yes sir.. lots of fun 👍👍
Thanks for the info.
Absolutely 😀😀
GREAT GREAT DEMO JAKE .THANK YOU FRO ALL THE INFO .FROM DOUG
Thank you for coming by Doug. 👍
Awesome response Jake very nice I love it
Awesome prototype if you ever decided to cell the multiple blank mold I would buy it
Stay tuned.. let me play around with these for a while.
I second this! Would be great to fit my 5 gallon pressure pot!
I would be interested as well to put into my new 5 gal pot!
@@77Nails I have some things to catch up on and then I’m probably going to make a few.
@@kandiecandelaria1423 I will let ya know.
Great Video sir. I will be trying Skillshare very soon.
Awesome Matt!! 👍👍👊
Thanks Jake, great info
Very welcome!! 👍👍
Great video, and an awesome process! Love the rack too, makes it so easy to get in the pot
Thanks Zac.. I was spilling things everywhere.. I was like . Why don’t I fix this? Lol
Thank you so much for showing us this process, I have an idea for a project & this was incredibly helpful, you ROCK 🤘😃🤘
🦾🦾🦾
Can't wait to make some molds like that myself
It’s pretty fun and you make it how you want it
@@JakeThompson I wish I could send you my first orb that I made I've made some mistakes on it and it's been a hassle to clean up plus bring it to a shine plus also got some Thin layers I need to sand off so it's equal
As always, fantastic!!
❤️❤️❤️
Great video Jake. From Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
Thank you for coming by Michael. 👍👍
Looking forward man 👍

Awesome 👍🏻 The possibilities are endless 😊
Absolutely CC 😊😊

I would buy one of those from you!

Man, how can I get one of your cool molds for pen blanks! Also, does the rice really work that well? Why not use water? Oklahoma here

I am from the beautiful island of Guam. “Where America’s Day Begins.”
Thank you for hanging out with us today Kris. 😀😀
Nice job. Thoughts about making large molds say 24”x48”??
That would be crazy expensive to make.. HDPE plastic might be a better way to go 👍
Great video! I just have one question. What's the reason for using rice instead of water? Seems like water would be exact. Is it because you don't want any moisture in the molds?
After I made a few of them, I used some water.. you are right.. I really just didn’t want to get the mold wet.

Thanks Buddy... we will see what happens coming up.. 👍
Where can we get your molds?
Can you send me a message on Instagram or Facebook
Souith Florida Here
Florida is on the list of places to go. 👍👍
Have u ever made a mold where the object you r making had a hole down the center?
Pen blanks have to be drilled why not make them so you have the hole in the center? Saves on acrylic, especially for duck call or goose call blanks?
I haven’t made any but I think they are out there. 👍
I know their are molds out there just have not seen any anybody do one with a way so they do not have drilled!
Love your u tube channel.
@@lorimartin1936 Thank you Lori.. I don’t think they would be hard to make .. I just haven’t done any. 😁😁
Use water to fill your molds to test the area. Rice has way too many air spaces and fulgurations in those gaps depending on how you handle it.
I didn’t want to get the molds wet.. I was filming this and didn’t have time.. after I’ve made a cast I just weigh the cast .. the resin I use is by weight so it works out.
Wow, Jake. You've got advertisers. Cool.
Hey Wayne, yeah..have a sponsor.. 😀😀👍
Kansas here
Whoo Hoo Kansas
Can i buy them from you

How much are your molds

Thank you, I’m just getting started with resin casting look at my Facebook page Isaacs creations please let me know what you think
Do you sell custom molds?
