    Despite decades of travel, I had never heard of a banksia seed pod. Quite certain I've seen them, but this was an amazing creation. The textures beneath the resin and the colors made for two brilliant candle sticks. Your work had me glued to my screen. Am still amazed at the beauty you created. This was truly a phenomenal project and video. Thank you for sharing.

    Really love your banksia project. Beautiful work as always. Youve inspired me to turn a BP I've had sitting in the shop for too long. Thanks for your videos. Can't wait for the next one. I very much appreciate how clean you keep your shop and how well you respect and care for your equipment. So many makers don't. I think that's an important part of true craftmanship. All the best, G

    • @squareandlevel
      @squareandlevel  2 месяца назад +3

      Thank you very much George. I actually spent majority of yesterday cleaning and doing tool maintenance. Cast iron surfaces all needed a good cleaning and fresh coat of wax. I agree some people underestimate the importance of tool maintenance. Not only does it significantly lengthen the life of your tools, but greatly contributes to their safety when being used. Thanks for watching. I hope you have a great day. And good luck with the BP!!

    Beautifully done! Very elegant design. Think I might give those a try but for my design after the resin is cured I’m thinking of hollowing them out and putting a small led tea light inside so the light shines through the holes in the banksia. 😊

I always gave him some minced meat, which he enjoyed. He loved having his head, & back gently stroked. He came to that tree for years’………🇦🇺

    Another great video! A few questions: 1. I looked on the website for the deep pour epoxy you use and it appears the instructions are more for table top pours. How long of an open time? How long do you keep it in the pressure pot? 2. Regarding the Clean Armor UV resin - did you get that nice coat in one go? No trouble with air bubbles? 3. I know you often use tubes that are cement molds, is that what this is?

    • @squareandlevel
      @squareandlevel  2 месяца назад +3

      The deep poor epoxy has an 80 minute working time. I leave true pieces in the pot for at least 72 hours. This is only the second time I’ve used the clean armor so I’m still figuring it out, but I seem to get best results with a foam applicator. Applying 3 coats. Wet sanding with 1k grit before 3rd coat. I used cardboard shipping tubes lined with strips of packing tape for the mold in this video. Thanks for watching. And as always hope you have a wonderful day!
