Look, as a long time Shop Time watcher, when you bust out the Micro-Mesh, I've come to expect the whole spiel. It's important to me that new viewers know that Micro-Mesh uses it's own grit system, that starts at 1500 and goes to 12,000.

The common saying is that the wife is always right, but to be honest, seven years with my guy has taught me if he wants to do something a certain way, I probably shouldn't mess with the process 😆😆
or what if you could have one sacrificial magnet completely covered in filings, and then try to center it in the resin using other magnets outside the cup to constrain it. The other magnets might mess up the pattern or make it cooler!
@@jackweinrieb My exact thought was a spherical ball magnet, to create a spherical blossom. Floating it with outside magnets, sounds brilliant! The human brain is pretty good at thinking up new solutions to problems that didn't even exist a minute ago. Sad to say I got rid of my lathe. It was free and had a 4 foot bed, but I just didn't have the room to set it up. - Cheers
You could probably use a spray glue on the shavings before resin to help hold the shape. Nickel filings would be softer and easier to turn than steel or iron.
@@joeshmoe7967 Glue the magnet to the tip of a thin plexiglass rod and hang it in the center of your cup, then apply iron filings to make a round "flower, and gently pour in the resin. That way, you wouldn't have the external magnets deforming the flower. When you finish turning, the rod should blend in and be nearly invisible. With the "flower" suspended in the middle of the sphere, you would not have to cut into the filings. side thought: Even if you used a square magnet, the "flower" would take the shape of the magnetic field, not the magnet.
@@Scott_C while yes, we do need iron to live, I don't recommend swallowing iron filings. They're too large for our body to use properly and can damage the GI tract.
@@Dalenthas while yes a person can make a joke and a movie/book reference but often times it's too subtle for a person to properly understand and can damage the ego.
@@peterbrownwastaken Once you added that last drop, the one you said took it almost too far, the color actually finally looked amazing. Before that... U'r in trouble.
I'm a 21 year old student living in a tiny flat in Germany - i will likely never EVER have a workshop or even try things like wood turning or resin BUT I enjoy your content so much! You seem like the nicest person ever and it's so fun watching you try out bizarre projects and having fun yourself. It's incredibly relaxing and funny! I've been watching for a couple of years now but never left a comment so here you go - keep up the good work, Peter! Lots of Love
After the first casting, I was convinced your were going to do a second one, join it back to back with the first, and make the "blossom" a sphere as well. Not sure if that would work, but I LOVE your finished product! I always enjoy the feeling of surprise and unpredictability in your videos. Nicely reflects the making process itself!
I really love how looking through it obscures some of the pillars, like some kind of aliens landscape or something. Great work, it's seriously mesmerizing!
Mr. Green here, another great job Mr. Brown reminds me of some sort of forbidden dragon ball, infact i have a request for you to make a dragon ball! Since you bought the special tooling for spheres and you got the process down might as well lol
Aw man, I was REALLY hoping to see you roll it on a flat surface just to see if it would always self level with the iron bits being at the bottom. Anyway, thing looks great!
Wow, that is gorgeous! Now that you know you're able to turn a resin sphere, I think it would be really neat to see another one made out of secret wood.
The greenish yellowish reminds me of mountain dew, which made me get this idea: You should dip an entire bottle of soda in resin and have the inside of the unopened bottle preserved
Love the result! here's an idea for a small variation. do the same thing twice, and join the two blocks where the magnet was, it will look like a metal shavings dandelion/explosion, and then turn it into another sphere again
I discovered your channel about a month ago, and have watched a lot of your videos since then. You, sir, are a MASTER at what you do. You make it look so easy, even when you make a mistake. We can all learn from you. Keep up the great work!
How hard would be to join 2 half spheres? I'm thinking doing the same process twice, and having the 2 blooms combined to form a "fluff ball" inside a resin sphere
Your dipit series is so much fun and really inspiring! It definitely makes me want to experiment more and try out new things. Also, I agree with everyone else, Wizard Staff!!
That totally reminds me of...hair 😉 Crazy cool result though! Would the magnet be able to push the filings at all once it's already in resin? I'm thinking if it's possible to make some cool iron filing patterns by moving the magnet around after the resin has been added?
I was thinking of trying to extend the filing pattern by hanging another strong magnet from the top or gluing some smaller ones to the outside of the cup. Maybe you could get some cool swirl patterns by sticking part motor under it and then messing with the RPM. You could try to match the viscosity of the resin with sugary water so that you could test things out for hours without wasting the filings.
That looks gorgeous :D I have a future idea, too. Drill down into a piece of burl wood and sink a magnet in that hole, sprinkle iron filings on that then encapsulate the whole thing in resin before turning to a sphere
Yeah, as he was starting to talk about this I was thinking about maybe I should ship him one of the giant hockey puck size magnets I have... Then He continued talking and I realized that I probably shouldn't just give out 2500 lb magnets without having a good conversation with the person first.
My dad and I have been working with resin alot lately, experimenting and just figuring it all out. I think you just gave me an idea for a chess set and dice set!
This looks amazing! I'm surprised this is your very first resin sphere ^^ If you'd ever re-visit this project, how about making two, shallower castings with the iron dust, and then stick both sides that have the iron together using more resin, so the sphere will basically have a full "spherical" blossom at the center of it, if that makes sense 😁
This is really cool! I thought you were going to have a magnet suspended in the resin with the spikes coming out at all angles, like a iron spike ball, maybe a future project now that you're mastering spheres?
It reminds Me of something that fell from space...You found it in Your backyard and thought? Ummmmmm... I can turn this on My lathe. Definitely a very cool conversation piece. Great job Man!!
i would so love to see this but like a newton's cradle that would be so awesome, have the frame in some super cool wood and the spheres each in a different colour
Just found your channel but wanted to stop in and say thanks for doing this for all these years. I am enjoying going back through the catalog. Really fun stuff.
next time mix the resin with the iron filings so when u add the magnet at the bottom they will all settle down withouth getting deformed also warm resin should help i.g
Looked quite interesting. The next two of ten destinations, 1) round magnet suspended tightly by fishing line so the bloom is entirely in the middle and 2) mix some glow dust in with the iron filings before you add them to the magnet :B
Great results, Peter! Good call on dyeing the resin yellow, it really gives that 'trapped in amber' look. A magnetic field, frozen in time. Though now I'm wondering, would it be possible to rig up a bar magnet in the middle of the cup, showing the toroid shape of the magnetic field, and then turn a cylinder from that?
Lately, I've been struggling with some existential angst, and today, rewatching your videos helped calm me down and snap me out of it (at least for the time being) Thank you Peter.

Haha.
I wasn't going to tell them that was your idea.
That’s how you know your wife loves you: she takes the hit for you on your globally-seen video.
You would think that having the last name of Brown would mean you were already sensitive to picking up color jokes...
The common saying is that the wife is always right, but to be honest, seven years with my guy has taught me if he wants to do something a certain way, I probably shouldn't mess with the process 😆😆
I'm a staunch supporter of the yellow! With the green tint the iron looks like a forest or an underwater plant. Very cool, good choice Mrs. Brown
That would look great on an evil villians scepter.
EXACTLY what I was thinking. Badass walking stick topper.
YES that would look beautiful!
I just got an Arbortech grinder I want to play with. This might be a good project...
huge villian vibes ! I agree! def should do a project of that somehow
You could say it's...Maleficent!
I'd love to see a sphere like this made from two hemispheres with shavings in, so the blossom appears to float in the centre

I love how the iron filings container looks exactly like a spice container from the grocery store
Gold paper/leaf comes in a book. Maybe gold dust could be used as a metallic tasting medicinal spice?
The jar those fillings came in looks like a spice jar. Iron filings, the forbidden spice.

Beautiful and captivating. Very happy you explained the Micro Meshes again, it makes me smile every time, those familiar words. Why? I don't know.
It’s very comforting in a way ^^
The final product reminds me of those old bullet impact videos.
It's like a small forest viewed through a glass ball. It looks amazing and mystical.
Oh yeah
That looked excellent. Those micropads you used at the end... what grit are they and do they correspond to regular grit scale? just wondering like...

If your pee is that colour then you need to drink more water my friend 😝
Me: Why are you not wearing gloves!?
Peter: Why am I not wearing gloves?
Me: phew!
I love seeing the polish with the micro mesh. Its like watching metal get a mirror shine, there's something so pleasing about it
“And near the end I finally get good at it.”
Guess that means you need to do more spheres. Great job!
I was expecting two halves of the domed filings stuck together to make a complete sphere of spikes in resin. This definitely also looks cool too!
When Peter said “what am I doing” Jenna Marbles came to mind with the “too much gene”
Omg, Peter! Your yell made me jump lol
Same! When he said that I was like "Is he a Virgo too?"
This is the crossover I'm here for 😁

I love the way this one turned out! It reminds me of a post-apocalyptic cityscape

Peter, this is beautiful. I hope you make more spheres. I would love to see a "secret wood" one.

Drill down into a piece of burl wood and sink a magnet in that hole, sprinkle iron filings on that then encapsulate the whole thing in resin before turning to a sphere

The curvature does a great job of magnifying the little details so you can really appreciate the iron filings.
It looks like something straight somewhere out of lord of the rings
Watching Peter make resin snakes on the lathe is more satisfying than anything else in life.
This is really cool!
I thought you were going to have a magnet suspended in the resin with the spikes coming out at all angles, like a iron spike ball, maybe a future project now that you're mastering spheres?
Gorgeous! I'd love to see a similar project where you do 2 casts and glue them together so the center of the sphere is a star burst of iron filings
Aaaah, you're thinking of Lemonade... I was thinking of something else.
Great outcome nonetheless. It looks magnificent!

Awesome job as always man. See if a magnet will stick to the bottom of it still. Peace and love from Tennessee
What about mixing the shavings into the resin, then stick it on the magnet? Wonder how that would change it.
I also want to know how that would play out.
Yes
i was thinking the same or put the resin in first then the shavings so they get pulled to the bottom.
Yes this! I want to see what that would look like, I think the shavings would be a lot more spread out and wispy.
I would love to see an updated shop tour, I know u have changed alot. From RUclips world it looks like your shop is huge!

I don't know, it's probably room temperature.

Did you finish the sphere (wax, etc.) or are you looking for a rust layer on the exposed shavings?
I love the sort of mossy green look it got in the end!
