When I first got into resin casting about 2 years ago, I purchased Vevor's 10 gallon pressure pot because it was the cheapest 10 gallon pressure pot I could find. Sometimes you're in for disapointment when buying cheap tools, but that wasn't the case with the Vevor pressure pot. Fast forward to today... Vevor reached out asking what product I would be interested in, and without hesitation I requested the same pressure pot. I guess they were phasing out their 10 gallon pots, but their 8 gallon pots are half the price of the 10 gallon pots and worth every cent. The pots are intended for paint pressure applications, so used @JakeThompson 's video as a guide for updating them for resin casting: https://youtu.be/Az-00xUVUP0?si=UoOYQN2-OXVD302P The Vevor pressure pots seem to be very well made, and in my experience they have been very reliable. If you're looking to save $$$ you really can't beat that.

This manzanita burl was staring at me from the shelf for quite a while. It was the type of gnarly piece that has tons of interesting characteristics, so many of which are, sadly but inevitably, reduced to dust. The struggle of working with pieces like this is that the majority of spikes and protrusions, although interesting and dramatic, must ultimately be sacrificed for the sake of the larger form hiding somewhere in the overall form of the burl. The other problem is determining how much resin to use or, perhaps more accurately in my case, to abuse. Keeping the majority of the gnarly features attached to the burl meant that I had to make a larger resin pour in a larger bucket. Yay, more silly string! Perhaps if I had known exactly how the final piece would look like, I would have been able to minimize epoxy waste and optimize the casting. But I'm not a prophet, and I don't like to remove options by chopping away too much of the burl ahead of time. The wood always takes precedence over the resin, and the focus should never be on the resin but on the wood itself. The resin is purely there to enable the wood to be all it can be or at least to enable the wood to be more than what it could have been without the stabilization prowess of plastic. In the end, I was going for a more curvy version of a hollow form with slender base, a well-defined neck and shoulders.

Unknown quantities of dirt, rocks, and sand do not make for a great turning experience, and I certainly learned a few things the hard way with this one. For starters, the manufacturer of the casting resin, @superclearepoxy advised me to expect resin chipout when turning at high speeds, so I have grown accustomed to intense, hand-scarring resin shrapnel for the first rough shaping passes. (Hence, this was also my first time using gloves while turning.) In the past, I have had problems with carbide bits loosening, but I had never before had a carbide cutter break. So, my initial assumption was that I had hit a rock or a piece of metal, but nope, it was just super hard SuperClear epoxy. @EasyWoodTools was great and replaced both the carbide cutter and the screw for free. I eventually resorted to an angle grinder to negotiate the dirt, and I knew there was more dirt and rocks potentially inside the piece. While hollowing the piece, I could tell that a significant portion of the material was dirt/sand/and small rocks, because there were very few clean cuts and lots of vibration. @Lyle , the manufacturer of the hollowing system, had some great advice for me regarding proper hollowing techniques, but we eventually agreed that this material was becoming unworkable and potentially unsafe. However, with the help of Starbond CA glue and SuperClear Tabletop epoxy, victory was within reach! Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoyed this project.

Deep pours of this size require active cooling to avoid thermal cracking, and I really had no idea what I was getting into with this one other than that I fully anticipated that the resin would crack. I was not prepared for just how much cracking would take place, and I think that alone made the project much more difficult. I was also warned by a SuperClear representative that their resin is known to chip in woodturning applications, but I think the chip-out was exacerbated by all the extra voids left from the thermal cracking. In the end, the results speak for themselves, and I think all that extra work was worth it for a truly unique poisonous cauldron! Thanks for watching, and I hope you enjoyed me experimenting with a new (to me) fog machine! I'm not the first to coat burls in contrast-color epoxy before casting in resin, but this was my first attempt to emphasize the natural edges of the burl using glow pigments in epoxy. I also attempted to use glow pigments in the casting resin, but as expected, the glow powder drifts to the bottom of the mold and most of the pigment was lost. This was also the heaviest blank I have ever turned, coming close to 80 lbs. Fortunately, there's a nice core blank for a future project! Thanks for watching this video!

This olive burl cookie had some nasty surprises on top of the tool-torturing nature of the wood itself, but it was well worth the fight. This was a commissioned project for one of my favorite clients, and so this piece is not for sale. One of the goals of this piece was to maintain the natural edge of the burl. As I found out in my recent video (“Exploding this burl for art”), it would have been almost impossible for an engrain olive burl to remain intact on the lathe without some form of stabilizer. TotalBoat penetrating epoxy was on point for this one, and of course my trusty Minwax wood hardener and Starbond CA glues were indispensable. Even though I got plenty of chip out from the end grain, I felt lucky when the piece was finally done. Please let me know what you think of this project by leaving a comment below!

Congratulations to Helen and Forrister, for whom this piece was a commissioned wedding gift! Located in the backwoods of Maine, this cherry burl was attached to a tree that was standing dead for what might have been decades before I was lucky enough to find it. Not surprisingly, this burl included plenty of punky and rotten wood, which required the stabilizing and void-filling prowess of Total Boat's finest. The vase itself was made to the specifications requested by the customer, which included the use of resin to waterproof both the inside and outside of the vase. Resin finishes are one of the more painstaking and time-consuming finishes, but if you're going for shiny you can't be disappointed!

This amazing piece of myrtle burl was the subject of a concept I have wanted to try for quite some time. Given the unique shape of this burl cap, it was difficult to reveal a gentle curving shape while also maintaining some of the more interesting features of the natural edge and wood grain. It was a delicate balancing act of approaching the final form one millimeter at a time until the shape felt correct. In the end, I was left with one of the most annoying sanding jobs of my life, trying (and mostly failing) to avoid those nasty points and edges, being relegated to hand sanding for upwards of 6 hours. When my wife saw this piece for the first time, she said it looked like a meringue or a Hershey Kiss, hence the title! Please let me know what you think of this piece by leaving a comment below! I cannot always respond to every comment, but I make time to read each one. I always appreciate feedback, positive or negative. A lot of people as where I find unique wood and burls to turn.

Another burl too weird to get by without using resin, and this time I decided to aim for a purple-ish starry night type of color scheme. I am still learning how the color pigments react with one another and with the different long-cure-time epoxies from Total Boat, but this time I definitely overdid the black pigment because the purple was almost drowned out in the end. Ultimately, I do prefer subtle colors to bright and bold colors, as I think muted colors tend to let the wood speak for itself, complementing the natural colors rather than competing with them. It was unfortunate to have lost so much of the gorgeous burl in the process, but I focused primarily on refining the curve of the piece and removing any saw marks or unnatural edges from the final shape. Let me know what you think of this piece and whether you would like to see more hybrid projects like this one. Also, let me know in the comments what epoxy colors you think best complement the natural wood. I cannot always respond to every comment, but I make time to read each one. Thanks to Total Boat for the thickset fathom epoxy! This stuff worked wonders and did not crack, even though I poured over 2 liters of resin and an 8 inch pour. As usual, the Starbond CA glue (discount/affiliate link below) came in handy with filling the stress cracks and voids in this burl.

This is the Christmas project I intended for last year and was prevented due to injuries, so I have been planning this project for almost 2 years. I had originally intended to electroform copper onto a pinecone for use as the "tree" but that ultimately failed, and I'm glad it did. I then tried to woodturn a tree using the inside-out concept I used on the snow couple, but it didn't work as I intended. Fortunately for me, this pinecone was a life saver, and it seems to button up the piece well enough. Needless to say, my wife has claimed this piece and it will not be for sale. I hope everyone has a blessed and merry Christmas and holiday season. Thanks for stopping by!!!

This piece of Ash was one of two cookies I cut from a fallen tree here in Maine. It is the adjacent piece to the cookie used as a centerpiece for the cake at my wedding this past summer. My goal was to keep this piece as natural as possible, cracks and all. No epoxy, no gap filler, other than emergency use of Starbond CA glue (link below), which seemed necessary in order to prevent the piece from disintegrating. Somehow, this piece stayed whole, but it was quite the stressor. I hope you enjoy the final result. It is rather rustic compared to my prior turnings.

There were so many ways to orient this unique piece of Manzanita root burl on the lathe, and I had originally intended not to use epoxy resin. However, when it was clear that I could not achieve the shape I was going for without losing too much of the character from this wood, I had to bite the bullet, as they say, and throw this piece into some delicious plastic. Let me know what you think of this piece by leaving a comment below! I read all of them and respond to as many as I can. Thanks to Total Boat for the thickset epoxy! This stuff worked wonders and did not crack, even though I poured almost 3 liters of resin and a 7 inch deep pour. I never had to fill a single crack with filler or CA glue (discount/affiliate link below).

Cheers! And thank you for stopping by! This piece a jewel of nastiness every step of the way. Given how rotten the burl was, it required thin epoxy with an extended curing time in order to fill all of the gaps and saturate the wood. However, the longer the curing process, the greater the risk of losing color separation in the resin. I found this out the hard way after hoping for more distinct purples and golds in this one. The inside of the vase is not spectacular and rather rough, but it was necessary to leave some wall thickness given the fragility of the wood. I expect this piece is fairly sturdy, given all the stabilization that it needed. Anyway, life is a learning process, and nothing is perfect. But this piece will hopefully find a comfy spot in someone's home. Thank you again for watching!

Watch to the end to see a surprise! This video is dedicated to my fiancée, and yes, she was quite surprised! I hope you all enjoy it! This ring box is made from Asian Tiger Eye Burl, which is an evergreen species native to Southeast Asia. To my knowledge it is not endangered, but the wood is sometimes harvested for medicinal purposes. I had originally planned to use brass barrel hinges instead of the exposed hinge and latch. It was almost 2AM when I decided to try installing barrel hinges and I completely botched the process. So the bandsaw came to the rescue! Thank you for watching!

This piece was the product of a few days of staring at the woodpile and wondering which piece would fly onto the lathe and inspire me. In spite of the fact that nearly all of the sap wood was rotten and punky and insect-ridden, this piece of wild Maine black cherry eventually decided to sprout the most annoying wings ever sanded and then required a pedestal in order to sit upright. I'm fairly pleased that both the project and I came out of this one piece, respectively, without losing too many chunks of wood or knuckles. This is my 31st filmed project! Let me know what you think! A huge Thank You to those who helped out during my recovery the last few months.

On November 5, 2020 before sunrise, I was climbing a tree to my deer stand when I lost footing and fell about 25 feet to the ground. I woke up 20 minutes later thinking I had taken a nap under the tree for no apparent reason. I soon realized my back and right hand were broken, specifically my L1 vertebra burst fractured and my right index metacarpal broke in 5 pieces. I was able to walk about 100 yards out of the woods to my friend's waiting canoe and was taken to the hospital. God was very merciful. I could have become paralyzed or worse, but I am slowly getting back on my feet and hoping to make the best of 2021!

Watch until the end to see the bonus pieces!!!!! The star of this video is charred burl that was salvaged from California after a wildfire. It is either Manzanita or Madrone burl. I don't usually go for thin walls, but I have seen this concept done and was curious if it could work for these pieces. A few of the blanks had saw marks, which meant I had to curve the walls and move the center to ensure complete natural edge around the piece. As might be expected, the pieces turned out fairly delicate and also rustic at the same time! This video is lucky #30! Let me know what you think!

One cube becomes a vase with 6 wings and 3 feet! Thank you all so much for watching! Yes, another month rolls by and my hopes for a quicker project turnout were dashed... but that's my life right now. On the bright side, I got a new camera after the old one stopped focusing on objects more than 5 feet away. Let me know if you like the new picture! This is my 29th filmed project. I had been wanting to try another cube theory project, but the amount of wasted wood from the typical cube turning drives me nuts. So, I chose to waste resin instead... literally. It started with a horrible miscalculation, in which I mixed exactly twice as much resin as I needed, and when I realized I had a bucket of resin left over and a ticking clock, it was too late to do anything about it. In fact, I tried mixing in more pigment and before I knew it the mixer pulled out a glob of curing resin. Check out my Instagram (@adamsen_woodcraft) for the pic. Anyway, the project went fairly easily until I decided to use lacquer as the final finish. Well, it's getting too cold in Maine for lacquer to cure properly, and it got somewhat cloudy. I don't think the final finish is horrible, but it isn't ideal. I simply ran out of the time and patience required to fix it. Again, thank you all for watching. I appreciate your comments, even though I can't respond to all of them. You are the best audience anyone could wish for!

This Hawaiian Kiawe wood is used as cooking/smoking firewood, which supposedly imparts tropical flavors to grilled or smoked meats! The more you know... Thank you all so much for watching! This is my 27th filmed project, and it was quite a beast! Not only was this wood far more dense and hard than I anticipated, but it also was completely end-grain, which meant my Tormek sharpener worked overtime. It wasn't until late in the making process of this piece that I realized there was dust behind the lens of my camera, so I sent it off for cleaning and repairs. Sadly, that means I am without a decent video camera for a few weeks. So if my next upload is a bit late, then that will mean it has taken ages to get my camera back... Yep, first world problems...

Thank you all so much for watching! This is my 26th filmed project, and it was a year in planning ever since my friend, Michael, scored a par 4 hole in one at 265 yards last year in North Carolina.

Thank you all so much for watching! This is my 25th filmed project, and it was my first ever epoxy resin casting! The star of this video is the black cherry burl that I harvested from a standing dead and rotten stump, and although the wood was dry it was also rotten and filled with voids. So I feel like it was the perfect candidate for my first ever resin casting! Now, I am not going to pretend the final finish is amazing. At the time I made this piece, I did not have a legit buffing system, and I also had a deadline by which I needed to complete the project. Hopefully, there will be many more resin projects. Personally, I want to use resin sparingly and keep wood as "pure" as possible. But there are lots of hybrid-style projects I have in mind in addition to the 100% wood projects. Hopefully, you all will enjoy them and give me lots of feedback! Cheers to all! Let me know what you think! If you're new to the channel, please consider subscribing!

Thank you all so much for watching! This piece of Chechen Burl was given to me by one of my viewers, John Miller, a retired professional woodturner who now works by commission doing custom woodturnings. Huge "THANK YOU!" to John for sending over such a beautiful piece! This is my 24th filmed project, and in my efforts to do justice to this amazing piece of burl, I promptly made the project ten times more difficult than it could have been by taking the wrong first pass with the bowl gouge. That meant I lost some of the natural edge that I intended to keep, which also meant I was forced to undercut the rim in order to save the natural edge. By the way, don't sand with two fingers against the spin of the lathe. It's not smart, and I ended up nearly spraining my fingers after catching the sand paper on the piece. Anyway, black palm is not wood. It is insanely brittle and aggressively unpleasant stuff to turn. Actually, palm is not even technically wood. It is a non-homogenous monocot, similar to grass and held together by what is called "parenchyma". The eagle-eyed may have noticed that the splinters coming off the black palm were almost like needles and just as hard and sharp. But all that work and headache is an afterthought when finishing.

Thank you to all my subscribers and viewers! It has been a few weeks since my last upload, largely due to shop upgrades and general craziness. I hope everyone is well! This is my 23rd filmed project, and it was new territory for me in several ways. I have never turned black locust before, and it is tough stuff! Yes, it turned my lathe into a bucking bronco until I could tame it with my sharp bowl gouge. And yes, undoubtedly, there will be some who wish I had not neutered that gorgeous piece of bloodwood by carving and piercing it with the dremel. But I have wanted to learn how to carve and pierce turnings for a while, and this seemed like a suitable candidate. I hope you enjoyed the process. I sure had a bunch of fun in addition to all the fretting and self-doubt as to whether it would even work out without destroying either the lathe or the piece or me... The eagle-eyed might have noticed a clamp attached to the banjo. Well, half-way through the project, I realize the screw bolt that tightens the tool rest in the banjo quit on me and lost its threads. I eventually realized I could switch it out with the tail stock bolt and it works okay now. Now, I'm looking forward more than ever to a lathe upgrade... some day... maybe... Cheers to all!

Thank you to all my subscribers and viewers! I truly appreciate you all. I can't believe we are about to hit 30,000 subscribers! Wow! Thank you so much! This is my 22nd filmed project, and it was chosen based on an Instagram poll out of 3 upcoming projects. I hope you enjoyed this one. I find that I gravitate to the more artsy side of woodturning. This piece of Siberian Elm burl was very dry, and due to all the voids and holes, it would have been impossible to use wax and high friction without getting pieces of disintegrated paper towel stuck in the piece. So I ended up sanding to 600-800 and applying multiple coats of oil before letting it sit overnight. It is a fairly rustic piece, and I hope the finial complements it well. In hindsight, I should have ripped that piece of pink ivory a few times in order to save that precious material, but I had a plan for the shape that required the full diameter of the blank. Funny how plans don't always come together... Cheers to all! If you're new to the channel, please consider subscribing!

If interested in purchasing this item, it is currently under auction on eBay, ending 5/30/2020: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Texas-Ebony-Lidded-Pot-With-Brown-Mallee-Burl-Finial/353060169526 Thank you to all my subscribers and viewers! I truly appreciate you all. I can't believe we already surpassed 26,000 subscribers! Thank you! This is my 21th filmed project, and it was also my first time turning Texas Ebony. This log had been laughing at me for several months before I decided to tackle it. It was bone dry and measured about 6x6x12 and probably weighed about 20 lbs. I was not mentally prepared for the fight this thing would require, and I spent probably more than 6 hours on the hollowing alone. I had to stop frequently to get my bearings, let the carbides cool down, and check that my lathe was still in one piece. It was quite the test of mental fortitude. I hope the process seems more relaxing in the video. It was certainly a difficult project. I also had one finial attempt fail because I turned the burl too thin, and neither CA glue nor epoxy would hold it together. Those of you who follow me on Instagram (@adamsen_woodcraft) will hopefully see some bloopers in an upcoming post. Cheers to all and have a blessed day!
