Carving a Figure out of Epoxy & Wood

#Epoxy #wood #carving . I carve a human torso out of a massive block of epoxy resin and wood. I sculpted the torso using a chainsaw, angle grinder and die grinder. I used English Walnut, Brazilian Rosewood, White Oak, Cherry and Epoxy Resin. I used MAS Epoxy "Deep Pour" resin. Huge thank you to MAS epoxy for supporting this build. This was my very first chainsaw carving I have ever done. I am beyond happy with how the end result turned out and I cant wait to do something similar again.
GIVEAWAY!!! WE HAVE A WINNER! Congratulations to Roni Langley!!!
The block weighs 78.4 LBS!

[@LMB237]

Remarkable craftsman, I used to be a so called “patternmaker” it’s art that died years ago? As the machines / computer era took grip, I HAD to change roads … now I’m just a security guard, but I’m making a good living for my family. I miss the ability of our hands! It was a standard finishing task to our apprenticeship to make a table using all the different wood rests … and another college made a front door 🚪! Magnificent work! All my respect!

[@Lisa-jh1os]

I really loved watching this I'm utterly impressed by how talented and thoughtful this project was.. I'm used to being impressed by furniture but a sculpture is awesome. Really inspired to go make something with wood.

Please dont lay your handplane on the blade but on the side when you are done with them :) it hurts an old carpenter :) Love from Denmark

[@adamwolf2376]

The blades job is to cut through wood, how is resting the blade in wood going to hurt it

[@mortendamgaard1977]

​@@adamwolf2376 the blade can get pushed up and you can get uneven cuts. Some times it takes a LONG time to make the handplane cut perfect. I learned to put them on the side so I do it every time because some day you don't have a wooden table and then you forget to put it on the side. But I see your point👍😃

I can’t tell you how much I enjoy your channel, partly because it brings back special memories I have of my dad’s woodworking and spending my childhood in his workshop,but the other reason is because I could very easily have ended up sculpting in wood for a living, I actually did for a few years, in a very similar manner to you in fact, but I chose another path and I’m not sorry but I do enjoy vicariously living my parallel life through you.
