Lighter thinner pours + cooling time will not make the resin boil = no bubbles :) Then finish off with a torch to pop the small surface bubbles. Also try tyvex tape over your resin casing box, it will pop right off without the resin sticking. Love the video tho!
Although if you are doing multiple layers, add the next layer once the resin hits a gel phase or wait for it to harden and scratch up the surface with sandpaper. Sorry if you already know this and it looks like I’m trying to be a jerk.
nicely done, i've seen a bunch of others but a common flaw most lamps have that this one doesn't have is that they put the led's inside the epoxy so once the led string stops working it ruins the look of the lamp or what ever in question. with your's you can replace the bulb still making it a much better and more practical design.
That was a lot of work. It was educational to see what all went into it. A good outcome and I cannot say I could have done better. I would only suggest that you reduce the amount of wood so that more light can come through in the future.
Love this type of work. Curious if you have given any thought of using a wax then a pva film on your molds like they would with fiberglass? It was just a thought don't know if would work the same way
I liked seeing that come together, beautiful lamp and picking up common sense tips I didn't think of like tracing where the screws go hahaha, enjoyed watching your meticulous work. Thank you
Chris at OKF I have one, but this piece didn’t fit in it. It was the sped up footage of overheating reaction. It was intentional move, to form that bubbly look of the resin. Not everybody likes it, but client did ;)
This is the first time I've seen your videos. It's a nice lamp. However just from watching you one time I can already tell you can do better. Went so good until one single light at the bottom that doesn't illuminate all the beautiful work throughout the art. Single RGB LEDs waterproofed through the lamp from behind frosted epoxy top to bottom would've made it stand out more. Never the less, good job.
Sean Smith thanks man! I wasn’t fully satisfied when I inserted the light from the button. My second thought was just as yours, that some sort of lightning though out the whole piece should be added.
@resin timber: Why mail the sheets instead of using screws? When you use screws you have less friction when taking the sheets off. ( when unscrewing first off course)
1:56 It would be more beautiful without too much foam. You should put a thin layer of epoxy on the wood surface before pouring the glue to avoid unnecessary bubbles
Interesting. Seems like you would get better lighting with a LED strip through the whole thing though. Inspiring though, want to try this with a larger piece.
Looks great. May I suggest you pour the resin in stages, or did you want the heat for the cracked ice effect ? Would have looked great clear, all that wood would look great and the light would have gone all the way through.
TheAsylum100 thanks for the insight and the tips. I guess I’ll have to try it out;) but in this case, the client wanted this cracked and bubbly effect. Otherwise I use prolonged setting time epoxy.
Neat end product however, a smidge wasteful on materials. Also were any of the epoxy batches measured or just eyeballed for mix ratio? Did the first batch end up running away thermally?
DujiN I am glad you’ve liked it. Well I am not aiming to mass production. It would almost be impossible from my perspective because the wood piece dictates the size and form of the product. Every creation gets full custom processes during the build. And that’s what makes it so fun, because every time I start with fresh mind and let the piece decide.
Jeremy Broussard that’s a plywood coated with phenolic film. Just a fine surface plate so the resin wouldn’t have much to grab onto. And the tape is aluminium tape. I found it to work best. It sticks strongly and prevents the leakage. Overall you aren’t the firs to note that it’s a bit confusing to watch my video since there’s no explanation. I promise to make another video with more details explaining along the build.
Oh to have the gear, and the excellent skills and knowledge/experience to know what and how to do stuff like this, with such clever tools. I’m very impressed and in wonder. Great skills on show.
naturally I would say. I poured more resin than it states on the label as the maximum amount. When reaction kicked in resin simply overheated creating bubbles and cracks. Then I made the bigger mold to seal all the sides and cracked part with more resin.
@@Chiselsplay I've been looking for that wood and everywhere I find it, it's very expensive and I noticed that you used it just to make the mold which makes it almost scrap wood after that and its very pricy, I am just curious as to why you used it since it is expensive and/or if you have somewhere to get it for cheaper. (Sorry if that sounds rude at all, I couldn't find a good way to word it properly) Thanks for responding so quickly!
Reece Calia well I get it rather cheap. I found a place where they sell cutoffs of about 0,2 square meter (about 2 square feet). It costs 1euro per square feet. So if the pieces after demolding are big enough, I salvage them. Otherwise it’s just a waste.

shootinblanks007 thanks! There’s nothing much to learn about wiring. There’s just two wires a switch and a light bulb. Anyhow RUclips is perfect for any kind of tutorial search.
Maybe over engineered a bit? Huge project for a very unimpressive “lamp”. Simplify your process and work to achieve a better outcome. Very nice concept. I think improve on it and it’s solid. Good effort
David Mathews II thanks man. I already improved a bit after this build and will be making another version of this type of lamp without over engineered parts. Thanks a lot for insights.
ryan barker if you are asking about that super thin resin you put on porous wood to stabilise it, then the answer is no. But if you look closely, I’ve made a second pour to completely incapsulate the piece. So I guess no worries about unstable wood.
@@Chiselsplay i did notice the second pour, yes. yeah, i was referencing cactus juice, i believe it's called. i didn't know if the moisture still in the wood would cause issues down the line.
ryan barker well the wood I use is dried. It must have a few percent of moisture still, but I had any issues with that so far. I have a few 2 year old test pieces and they seem to stay fine.
I agree and I'm sure in retrospect he feels the same. If you noticed the amount of "extra" work he put in, then you should also be familiar with the myriad of extra steps we ALWAYS take when realizing our vision for the first time. If he makes another similar lamp then each one he makes he will shave time and reduce the steps for completion. Essentially your an asshole go fuck yourself you negative Nancy. ;-)
Greta video thanks for sharing, you've just gained another sub. Have you considered narrating your films? After what looked like the main sanding - I can guess you went up thru a few grits, what was that spray you used at 5:47 ? Is it some kind of lacquer? Maybe a way of protecting the finish? Varnish even?
Gordon Chapman first of all sincerity thank you. Second of all the answer is YES I am gonna explain the process in future videos. You were right, I was sanding up to 320grit. Then I’ve used a glossy finish lacquer. Nothing too fancy. I could have polished the piece, but my polishing machine was broken at the moment. And it’s quicker with the lacquer since you can skip from 320grit straight to finishing. It filled all the tiny scratches from the sanding and makes the piece transparent.
@@Chiselsplay Oh thanks for such a quick and informative reply. I've always wondered after whatever resin piece is complete, what is the best protection to use on it before it's life as an ornament. I see I can learn a lot from your channel 👍

Thanks man! At least somebody is paying attention to the practical design solutions. Cheers!!
Very nice! That looks like a lot of work!
Thanks, there was some love poured into the process:DD
That was a lot of work. It was educational to see what all went into it. A good outcome and I cannot say I could have done better. I would only suggest that you reduce the amount of wood so that more light can come through in the future.
Thank you!! I will definitely increase resin to wood ratio in the future projects
People dont realise the work this takes like in the comments 🤦♂️ brilliant work my friend 👌👌
johnnboy1000 🙏 thanks
Fantastic result. Well done and thanks for sharing.
Steve Forrester thanks man!
dude's a pro. got tools for every single thing!
Excellent attention to detail. Love the wood and concrete combo.
BasedShark thank you!! I am also in love with concrete and wood duo
Good job 👍
Ibel Art thanks
Very very Cool!!!
Shaun Morin thank you!!
Came for the video, stayed for the music. Nice tunes
Did you intentionally leave the Apoxsee cloudy? Or is that just the way it cures?
This was done intentionally. Technically epoxy should cure clear
With this setup, I can create another universe!!!!
sourabh altekar i was thinking the same thing!!
you are a master
Divide by Zero some day maybe
Love this type of work. Curious if you have given any thought of using a wax then a pva film on your molds like they would with fiberglass? It was just a thought don't know if would work the same way

Ted Bat thanks!!!! Will be more:D
super impressive work. Love the cement base. Never seen that before.
Guido Bonelli 🙏 thanks
At 1:48> is this in a pressure pot? Looks like it’s de-gassing. I see the bark was left on so that’s why I ask.

Very nice work!!!
Ciao molto bello come hai fatto per avere quell effetto hai messo più catalizzatore?
Awesome design.
Do the fumes get you off your box ?
@resin timber: Why mail the sheets instead of using screws? When you use screws you have less friction when taking the sheets off. ( when unscrewing first off course)
Peter van de Meent I totally agreed with that. It’s just faster with nails. If I would use screws I would have to predrill every screw hole.
Just perfect project 👏👏👏
Make Stuff with Little Devil thanks
even a simple box is cool and well made ..
josie thomson thanks 🙏
Great work! I love the sheer perfection and the details. Looks awesome!
Marcin Lendzion thank you!!!

Watched the whole thing. Should consider adding captions on videos like this. A lot of times I couldn’t follow what you were doing from visuals alone.
Jeremy Broussard indeed. Thanks for the suggestion.
Maybe drill a cavity throughout the center of the piece to get better light penetration
that's an idea worth considering. thanks!
LOVE the music! Video was too fast for me (I’m old lol), so I just listened until you were finished. Beautiful piece!
Connie Buchwald one of the warmest comments! Thanks a lot
I liked the music as well. Does anyone know the songs and artists?
Beautiful results. My Grandsons would love that. 👍👍
Hard work, lots of steps and great piece!
Neat end product however, a smidge wasteful on materials. Also were any of the epoxy batches measured or just eyeballed for mix ratio? Did the first batch end up running away thermally?
rudiedcr thanks! I measured ratio by weight. And you’re right about the first pour. It overheated, but on purpose. It creates an interesting effect.
What did you spray on the wood/resin after you sanded it, to make it transparent again? Great attention to detail. Good job.
Real Detective51 🙏 thanks. It’s just a smooth finish lacquer. Nothing too crazy about it:D
Great music choice, used a lot of extra wood though. Neat project
Jack Smith thanks
Beautiful. I like it.
前田日明 thanks!
Excellent craftsmanship
Nice!
Drill a deep hole from the bottom, and place an led strip inside instead. Would work much better as a lamp i think.
Koala - Not a Threat thanks for an idea;)
@@Chiselsplay No problem :) Very nice work you do.
Hi, awesome job and result ! What kind of resin do you use ?
Thanks! ELANTAS EC141 was my resin of choice
Great video
Amazing talent
G Moore thanks!
Well shit, I came here for a simple idea, not a full time job. It looks amazing I'll give you that, it's just way above my skill set or tool arsenal
Hahahaha yes and waaaaaaaay to long.
Love it, but commercially it seems insanely expensive. Beautiful work regardless!
DujiN I am glad you’ve liked it. Well I am not aiming to mass production. It would almost be impossible from my perspective because the wood piece dictates the size and form of the product. Every creation gets full custom processes during the build. And that’s what makes it so fun, because every time I start with fresh mind and let the piece decide.
Is that mdf for the molds? What kinda tape is that silver tape?
Jeremy Broussard that’s a plywood coated with phenolic film. Just a fine surface plate so the resin wouldn’t have much to grab onto. And the tape is aluminium tape. I found it to work best. It sticks strongly and prevents the leakage. Overall you aren’t the firs to note that it’s a bit confusing to watch my video since there’s no explanation.

What type of epoxy is it.... Is it casting expoxy...?
This was casting epoxy. (For up to 40mm depth pour)
@@Chiselsplay ok... By the way great job.. 💓
entertainer s thanks!!!

Amazing !
MUY BUEN TRABAJO
Hi, can I use part of your video to my compilation of the most interesting woodworking projects ?
WOW!! That's amazing. I can't imagine how much that cost with so much work
Please write in a short sentence, what you can NOT do, your handywork is quite impressive. Your editing gives the video a nice dynamic!
Adrian Gronau wow! Thanks a lot! And for a sentence you’ve asked: I can not not understand quantum mechanics:D
@@Chiselsplay so you are unable to NOT understand quantum mechanics? Explains a lot... 🤣
BOOM....look't dat...is so easy !!!
Nice tunes...
wow! How did you get the crack effect inside resin?!
naturally I would say. I poured more resin than it states on the label as the maximum amount. When reaction kicked in resin simply overheated creating bubbles and cracks. Then I made the bigger mold to seal all the sides and cracked part with more resin.
Awesome! Thanks for explaining! :D :D
Good job
Hope you keep your fingers. Free handing a log, no push stick ,reaching to remove wood from spinning blade etc. Get a SawStop .
It won't matter if he can't see anything, because he didn't wear safety glasses either.
What is the wood that you used for the mold and where did you get it? (The wood with the black laminate) Great video btw!
Reece Calia thank you! I’ve used plywood laminated with phenol.
@@Chiselsplay I've been looking for that wood and everywhere I find it, it's very expensive and I noticed that you used it just to make the mold which makes it almost scrap wood after that and its very pricy, I am just curious as to why you used it since it is expensive and/or if you have somewhere to get it for cheaper.

Fantastic!!! And really well filmed and edited too.Top work fella.😁👍
thanks a lot!
To all woodworkers, I appreciate your skills, but do you ever plant a tree with the same regard as you happily cut/sand/chop them?
wow
Nope..... never. But chopping em down sure is satisfying!
Has to be the dumbest comment ever.

Dude rolls with Big Rock Johnson there. No saw guard, no face protection, no planer projects, no respirator .. #1920 when men were men.
what was the overall cost of the production?
