Casting Dried Flowers In Resin to Make a Vase

[@autumnlafite秋天]

Amazing!!!!

[@jencstephens5452]

What resin do you use? The 30 min green? 24hr glitter? And 3hr coating? What kind of brush are you using to apply the coating resin? How many coats does it usually take? Do you sand between? (Sorry for the ton of questions, but you said we could ask 😉) The end result is beautiful, and I would like to attempt something similar. Any info you can share that may increase my odds of success would be greatly appreciated. 💕

[@DavidsWoodturning]

@@autumnlafite秋天 Thank you 🙂

[@DavidsWoodturning]

@@jencstephens5452 the green is Zap 30mins epoxy resin, then the deep pour resin was Vista Ocean and the coating was Alumilite coating resin. Only did one coat as turned out pretty nice. But sometimes i apply multiple coast then you must send after each coat. 180grit will do fine. For the brush it doesn’t really matter just use something what doesn’t loose the bristles easily. You can even use the foam type of brushes. Some people use hands with gloves. Due to centrifugal force it will even out. And yes you have to run the lathe at lowest rpm (mine is 50) until the resin cures partly that it will not run once the lathe is stopped

Wait - people say negative things about your accent? This is the first video of yours I've seen and I loved it from the jump. As an English speaker, I am always impressed by those who learned it as a second or third language. I understood you perfectly and it is very endearing. Keep putting out great content!

[@Dreamskater100]

His voice is grating . Not everyone is suited to narration. Be better with subtitles/graphics.

[@comradewindowsill4253]

nothing wrong with the accent, but he needs a new microphone. the sound quality is painful even at 5%

[@JunpakuKarasu]

@@Dreamskater100 Yeah, today's a good day for me, but audio processing disorder makes understanding people even without an accent a bit difficult. Wish everyone would think to put subtitles.

[@margaritaWM]

Beautiful work and beautiful accent. As an English speaking from another country, I am never ashamed of my accent. I speak four languages and I think communication and language is about the message and the kind heart you use to speak to others. Beautiful to see your work and hear your comments

[@MelissaM83]

Thank you for showing great resin practices by WEARING A MASK/ RESPIRATOR!! So many people don't realize that resin is still a chemical and should be used with great care! So many go yrs of doing resin art in small enclosures with no air flow and end up really really sick! So thank you for showing everyone how you're supposed to work with such a beautiful medium like resin! Great video! I absolutely love it!!

[@cinder7183]

Please, take care of your lungs. You can't live without them.

[@ShlisaShell]

"Green slime and dried flowers... what?" LOL Heck yeah! Right up my ally. Mine will begin... Dried fish and mushrooms... what? I get excited too. But we must let our epoxy finish hardening. 😀🙌 I really really enjoyed this!

[@leannecanty8821]

Wow. I did not expect the finished result to be so vibrant. Took my breath away!

[@lynnm6413]

Half of it is because the video was oversaturated…It didn‘t show the colors as they are, I‘m pretty sure

[@summersands8105]

David, your English is fine. To be honest, you speak English better than a lot of people out her where it's their primary language. I love how this piece turned out, especially since the flowers maintained their color. Other projected I've seen with flowers, end up with the flowers becoming dark and losing their color.

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thank you so much 🙂

[@stj971]

Czech?

[@jerrimcc6520]

I don’t think I have ever seen such a beautiful vase. Gorgeous! Thank you for the great video so we can see it happen. Your accent is very nice, and your English is very good, not difficult to understand at all. Learning multiple languages is a skill I have never had, and I’m very impressed with those who can. Please don’t let obnoxious people get you down.

[@Lucklaran]

Very nice piece. The glitter makes it look like dust motes of pollen in the air around the flowers. As for your accent, I don't envy anyone that tackles the task of learning a second language, as I know plenty of people that struggle with English as their first. Wonderful job, clear communication. Thanks for sharing your time and talent with us.

[@ceMwah]

Stunning wood grain! Beautiful vase.

[@fugueine]

This is the coolest wood+resin woodturning project I've seen in any woodturning channel so far. Love the experimentation. Your eye for flower arranging gives you an opportunity for a side gig. :)

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thank you so much 😀

[@dinkvjr]

Completely agree! Arrangement is just beautiful

[@brianbuckley6713]

[@thekarmafarmer608]

Would have liked a turn of the finished piece at the end. It`s so breathtakingly beautiful! What a creative idea! It worked really well. Well done!

[@Ladywolf2263]

Oh my goodness…this is the most beautiful vase I have ever seen ! Wow ! You make it look so easy, but I know it’s not. Takes lots of time and a wonderful idea ( then find a way to execute said idea ). If I came across this in a shop, I’d BEG my hubby to buy it for me…and I don’t beg for nothing ( I’m rather spoiled). Sir, this is fabulous !

[@christineg8151]

Oh, what a pretty piece! The wood with the flowers is gorgeous, and I appreciate your explanations as to what you're doing while you're working. I have no experience with woodturning myself, so a bit of extra info as to what is going on is helpful.

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thank you so much 🙂

[@LadyKatJPhillips]

This vase is so breathtaking. Please do another.

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Also thinking on making a lamp with flowers casted in resin but certainly will have other vase/bowl made as i like how it turned out.

[@patricklilly2520]

TOTALLY BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@Brad_R_LiveFit]

That vase turned out wonderfully. The vibrant colors of the flowers paired with the brightness imparted by the resin finish on the burl is a lovely combination. As for people making snide comments regarding your accent and English as your second language, ignore those fools. Some people will try to find anything they can use to validate their own jealousy to themselves. You keep putting out great content, and exploring your creative side. Let those haters fester in their own insecurities. Fantastic work, David!! 👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉👍👍👍

[@robertharrison723]

What can I say that has not already been said. Perfection is the only compliment I can give you.

[@zzydny]

Really lovely--would like to see another flower piece sometime. Your accent is charming, and your English is excellent. Your speech is very clear so I never have to use Closed Captioning with your videos, although I often have to do so with other YT people who are native English speakers. Is your accent perhaps Hungarian?

The sheer beauty of the result actually motivated me a lot to get back into my own hobbies again. Often, these kinds of videos impress me but somehow leave me a bit pessimistic concerning my own possibilities and skills. This one left only positive thoughts. Thank you very much! (EDIT: I hope I don't come across like I think your amazing art is just a "hobby", sorry. I was just thinking of myself.)
