Watch an Eagle Come to Life: Carving with Spray foam

[@Brittany0909]

This is gorgeous. My husband died two months ago and we loved watching your channel together. He was a logger by trade and I think this one would have been his favorite. I love watching your videos they give me peace in a time where I need it thank you for all the beautiful creations they are lovely to watch.

This is absolutely amazing, I love how all the feathers are equally aligned and overlaid, the most important part of creating or drawing in my case an animal is that it looks exactly like the reference, and this is absolutely spot on

[@ines83altdelrosario5]

Yo pienso es sierto

[@msb5775]

Paint sprayer tip: if you’re painting with a dark color and then are doing a sealant/top coat over it, mix a little bit of your paint in with your sealant before spraying. Otherwise the color might become cloudy or you’ll be able to see streaks of the clear coat. Not an issue for light paint colors though.

[@mikesmadlife8029]

Thanks for the tip I know it helped me

Yes! This works great for furniture painting too with a brush. I’m a furniture artist. I find this piece absolutely gorgeous!!!

Blake, you are one heck of a person. The idea, the creativity, the craftsmanship along with your hardwork and dedication is something out of this world. I can't imagine the time and patience that takes in creating those amazing sculptures that you do, it's truly admiring.

[@j4xart105]

What a cool piece! Love how the smooth texture from the steel contrasts against the texture of the tires.

[@BMSculptures]

Thank you very much!

[@sapphirejade5029]

All the work you do brings back old childhood memories. A family member of mine would always be in the garage and the whirring of the machines was a way of knowing he was there. As a kid, I was terrified of the machineries he used and afraid he was going to get hurt. Yet, as I grew older, he let me help him. I loved it and felt right. Sadly, it's been over 2 years since he said his final goodbye. Everytime I go to the garage and work on my own personal projects, I feel him. I'll always be his little girl. I miss him, but I know he's always there.🥺

[@David-Field.Stuff01]

Very impressive work. I do a lot of foam carving sculpture and one handy thing I learned was that if you use a home plant water mist sprayer to lightly mist the sprayed foam it will cure faster. This is particularly helpful in climates where there is very low humidity or if your workshop is really hot. Also, if you are planning to inject a lot of foam into a hollow space, spray some water mist into the hollow space first. Then fill the hollow in layers and mist each layer lightly as you go. This prevents the foam from curing solid on the outside but staying wet and uncured in the centre. Love your work.

[@thistlechisel9965]

As a clay medium user, I'd never thought recycled tires can be use as medium for sculptures, it is superbly done, wow!

I made an eagle from a foam football and a Styrofoam ball, armature wire and foam sheets.lots of glue. I loved how it came out. Love watching an artist such as yourself.

Outstanding! This is not just craftmanship, but artistry (or should I say "This is not just artistry, it is craftmanship"?). We plebeians do not always realize that extraordinary lengths you must go to--nor the various skills that must come into play--to create something wonderful. I got to thinking that you might be able to hire a neighborhood kid to do a lot of the tire cutting for you. In any case, I am very much impressed. THANK YOU for sharing your gift with the world.

[@kennethblackmon66]

I love art that looks like something and to be made of tires it's incredible

[@lisanidog8178]

Using tire material as textured feathers is brilliant! This why I love watching artists. They use such neat things one would never think could be used. Only thing I do is use cans, soap and baking soda boxes as bases and envelope paper as covering. But it’s recycling like you do.

[@macstuntsable]

Thank you Blake for the wonderful sculpture... I feel inspired by this one particularly... it was great to watch your craft start to finish!

[@tylerdowling]

Absolutely stunning how you can make literal tires into genuine and impressive pieces of art. Amazing.

[@Immortal_BP]

wow the tire gives really nice feather texture, having been around a lot of eagles while in Alaska one thing i noticed is their furrowed/deep brows are one of the most defining features so other than missing that it looks great.

[@ines83altdelrosario5]

It's cool I live in north western PA. I occasionally get to see eagles around the Allegheny and Clairion rivers sometimes while I'm riding my horse or driving. I'm always in awe of them. I feel blessed and thank God, when I get to witness them.

[@StephenNesbit]

I love watching your work come to life, but I had a bit of a question! Instead of having to paint those thousands of crown staples, why not purchase the black versions? They have black and hyperblack crown staples that would potentially save a lot of time / effort.

[@rcpilot3990]

Polyester resin will eat the foam, but if you use epoxy resin, such as West systems or Total Boat, you won't have any problems, it doesn't smell and it cures faster, depending on the hardener you use and it's wayyyyyy stronger! I recently repaired heavy rust damage on my car and used spray insulating foam to reconstruct the missing form lost to rust, shaped it then epoxyed and glassed over it, a little bondo and paint and the repair area looks brand new, very impressed with this method. If you don't like pink foam, try EPP foam as a sub structure material. It comes in two densities, heavy and light. Hope you read this, I think these alternatives will help. I used West Systems, btw from West Marine.

That is quite something...I used have that passion years ago and drive to follow something as intricate through to the end. It`s just seems like a lot of hard work now.

[@Michigan_Tactical]

That looks amazing. I used to work at a radio shack. We would take the RC cars outside and play with them. Or sometimes we'd have a return when the customers got bored with them. Either way the tires would be dirty. We would spray pledge furniture polish on them, let it dry and just crumble off and it made them look new again. It might work for you too. Also I used to do spray finishes in a factory and your painting looked pretty good to me. I really enjoy watching you make these.

Killer job, again! Paint spray tips, the trigger will engage the air first, then paint second. Takes practice, but you can partially release the trigger, find the paint cut off point, this keeps the air flowing, and will stop drops when you re-engage the paint/trigger. Also, start your first spray pass off to the side of the object, not on it. Cheers

My favorite part is when you use the spray foam, which is messy at first, but you make it look good at the end
