    Wow! What a choice day: Not only do I stumble upon an intriguing and unknown wood-prep technique; but I then have it eloquently explained and clearly demonstrated!
    This is a pretty rare event! What a fascinating process...
    I think Matt is a skilled presenter and experienced teacher: It's not easy to set a good pace AND maintain a consistent level of info... kudos to the editor too.

    Just a tip…you can use a desiccant that you can pour into the box during the cooling period to help with moisture content. It attracts the moisture so the wood doesn’t and changes color over time as it becomes saturated. You can reuse the desiccant by drying it in the oven.

  • @samwinstanley6820
    @samwinstanley6820 6 месяцев назад +3

    From a pure physics point you can dry faster with the vacuum pump alone.
    Water will boil below room temp at sufficiently low pressure and the vacuum will help extract the moisture.
    This will avoid talinising the wood which makes it harder to work with cutting tools

    You could always put the oven on a scale and zero it while empty, then you should be able to monitor as the wood dries

    I used cactus juice on a punky, spalted and burned piece of pecan wood (limb) that I dragged out of a burned pile from a landscaping project. The weight increase is impressive. My piece will be a base for some smallish sculpture (not yet decided) that I will do, maybe a fish or bird. This video was fun and informative, Thank you! and Greetings from Texas!

    Q. Did you ever tried long set liquid glass? Although its viscous, its penetration and surface tension properties look very promising. Remember, the scale reads +/- 1g.

  • @tom314
    @tom314 6 месяцев назад +1

    Nice to see the process, I'll probably never do it myself but it was interesting and I learnt a lot.
    A decent roughing pump can be left running happily by itself, I think the longest we had one running permanently was 4 years (should have changed the oil before that point.....), the more time it's pumping atmosphere the shorter the oil change intervals though. Does your pump have a bleed screw on the second stage? This can be used to reduce the foaming of the oil in the pump if you run into those problems.
    On a time saving point, I mean this in the nicest way but watching you measure the average is slightly painful, personally I'd have just weighed them all at once and divided by the number of blanks. You then weigh a few test pieces.

    Hello. Is their any room here for a beginner? I have a circular saw, a router and a jig saw. Also, hands. Do they help? Honestly. My only dream hear is to learn enough to build some really nice kitchen cabinets Myself. Thanks for the video's and your representation. Your doing great.

    What happened if you stabilize a wood that has water in it?

  • @JMcMillen
    @JMcMillen 6 месяцев назад +1

    Question, what happens if you do this with wood or other material that isn't dry enough? A vacuum will usually cause water to boil at room temperature so it should just mostly evaporate off.

    Feels like deja vu, I'm sure I watched this a while ago?
    I've always wondered, does working on the stablised wood dull your tools quicker due the the added 'hardness'?

  • @thijspluis9998
    @thijspluis9998 6 месяцев назад

    can you also do this with bigger pices? I saw the video with james wright and rob cosman making a saw with a purple maple handle, is that the same proces? and would you recomend colouring it before working on it or after it is done shaping just finnishing left?

  • @QuercusMcFercus
    @QuercusMcFercus 6 месяцев назад

    How deep does the resin penetrate? Would it be valuable to pre-turn the wood to rough shape before stabilizing?

    Sorry, your math is wrong :)
    Original 35.5 average..
    Final 52.2 average.
    Increase percentage wise is 52.2-35.5 = 16.7
    16.7/35.5 = 47% increase.
