Epoxy + Wood + Chainsaw = 🐴

[@simeon7450]

I love that the wood is in the direction of the face, very well done. Gives the feeling as if the horse is in motion somehow, if that makes sense

[@BMSculptures]

Thanks Simeon. I think I will be doing a couple more in this way.

[@MRCOLOURfilld]

@@BMSculptures yes I like this way. The wooden pillars rising up into the epoxy is a beautiful look but having the grain of the wood more prominent in the face of the animal is visually interesting.

[@wangcockdickspecker622]

U would love the wood

[@BeanWolfe]

Absolutely it does! It’s using leasing lines to indicate motion. Very common in photography and animation in fact

That finish you put on the horse head just gives it that special touch. When the light hit it in the right places it just makes it more amazing looking

[@BMSculptures]

Glad you like it!

[@thesmokedeck]

The 4x4 was a space filler to cut down on the amount of epoxy needed. I would have thought it was there to keep everything upright and prevent shifting but you built that box really well

[@djdishwasher]

Exactly, plus it was going to be cut off anyway and that would have been a waste of resin

[@BMSculptures]

BOTH winners!

[@RoyalMela]

4x4 did not want to feel left out by all the fancy woods.

[@laser6170]

It’s insane how precise and lifelike you shape a hunk of wood and epoxy with mainly just a chainsaw. I kept thinking you were going to cut too deep and ruin the piece but you never fail to amaze. Beautiful work and artistry!

[@BMSculptures]

I always think I'm going to cut too deep too 😩. I use the templates and stick outside those lines and go from there.

[@BMSculptures]

Thanks Jade. I keep going back and forth on the glossy look. I love certain aspects but dont like others. I think it will be a sculpture by sculpture basis. The bubble blaster will get another topper of milk for his efforts 😂

I love how after day one of carving it looks more cow like simply because of the extra bull. This is. A gorgeous sculpture, kudos!

[@mitchellkleckner5203]

Incredible sculpture Blake! I am always amazed at how early into the sculpt you seem to have a visual of where the final product is located. One note though, you may not want to pour epoxy in your home, especially with a small kid in the house. One of the primary reactants in curing epoxy resin is the plastic Bisphenol-A (BPA). This is a plastic that aerosolizes in epoxy fumes and builds up in your body over time. Because BPA dissolves into fat cells, it accumulates in your body over the course of your life and does not get excreted, and can have some pretty nasty cumulative health impacts, ranging from infertility and PCOS to potentially even breast cancer. While one epoxy pour isn't going to kill anyone, its best to pour in a ventilated space or with a respirator. While BPA itself is scent-free, a good indicator of air quality is smell: if you can smell it in the room, it is probably best not to spend too much time there. Because of this, I personally would not cure large blocks of epoxy in my home, although this is not to say that you must not as well! Everyone of course can make their own decisions on personal safety, and this comment is simply meant to provide background in order to make an educated decision. If anyone is interested in reading further into this, there is a great 2015 paper called "Health Risk of Exposure to Bisphenol A (BPA)" by Konieczna et. al. where I got most of my information on BPA. Just a note that you will find a lot of conflicting information about BPA out there, and some epoxies claiming to be BPA free. Investigate that deeply, as I have seen at least one manufacturer claiming to be BPA free because all the BPA (the primary ingredient in one of the two parts) is "fully reacted" in the curing reaction, meaning that the final product does not contain any. This ignores volatilization during the curing reaction, during which inhalation exposure is a risk.

[@BMSculptures]

Thank you for the detailed information. I did not know this to be honest. I Luckily I just got a large refrigerator chest outside in the shop where I plan to do most of my future pours.

[@mitchellkleckner5203]

@@BMSculptures Thanks for the reply and glad to hear that! I would definitely do your own research as well over just trusting what some random guy on the internet says -- sadly this information is not well discussed outside of research papers, and I know those can be difficult to understand without a background in environmental engineering/occupational health. This sadly also is not the most researched of chemicals, so I could not find any papers specifically talking about inhalation of epoxy fumes for a hobbyist/small-scale professional, but from what I understand, after cured, the health risk from epoxy lowers significantly, but the curing process releases BPA in medically significant doses for professionals who work with epoxy paints and similar products. It is in a whole load of "foodsafe" products as well though, like take-out containers and the linings of aluminum cans, so it is not really possible to cut out all exposure. Some industries (including consumer grade epoxy resin manufacturers) have begun transitioning away from BPA as bad press starts to leak, but it looks like the replacements, called BPF and BPS are essentially the same thing and equally unsafe but entirely unregulated and unresearched. Best practice is most likely to try to limit exposure to curing epoxy, and to do so either outside, in an area with good ventilation (i. e., a shop with exterior-facing vents and fans), or in a space with a ventilation system not connected to where people are living (a shop in a separate building to where people often sleep and eat)

[@zonderbaar]

Good point ! Here in Europe it's been over a decade that food items are declared bpa free, (2011), every parent knows. Over in the US things often are delayed in that regard

[@cpl_0503]

I love the carving videos. The way you can take a cube and turn it into a recognizable form is just amazing to me. But then again, I'm a guy that considers cutting my grass in straight parallel lines to be an artistic victory. Great stuff. Thanks for sharing!

Wow all I can say is this beautiful sculpture took my breath away!!! I been suffering from really bad depression. I lost my house I owned for about 12 yrs to a fire. I didn't realize my insurance lapsed so I lost so much of my life was in my home. I am thankful no one was home when the fire happened but I don't sleep at night my mind goes crazy..lol but I started watching your channel and it helped me get my mind off of things and watching you actually relaxed me.. I am going to subscribe. Thank u for showing us your beautiful work !

[@tracybowling1156]

Hi Blake! First things first, you have the CUTEST assistant in town! All other helpers beware! 🥰 And 2, you're channel is my very favorite maker channel! It's always the best fun watching what you can do. And 3rd, regarding the 4X4, is it to keep things centered? Or maybe to take up some space so you can use less resin? I have a million guesses. But I will stick with those, my friend! ☺️

[@BMSculptures]

Thank you so much Tracy! My little helper is quite the babbler now. You are correct! The 4x4 is to take up space (since the horse head will not be carved in that section) so I use much less resin. Winner!

[@tracybowling1156]

@@BMSculptures Yay, I got the winning answer! Woohoo! You know, before long, your little babbler will be your little shadow. He will be pouring the resin and learning a bunch. That's got to be exciting! BTW, I hope your wife had an excellent Mother's Day!

Another reason I like minimal is because I want the wood& epoxy to really shine. If I did really detailed work, all those small curves would reflect and not show the inside of the sculpture. Thanks for noticing, and Im slightly irritated it took you so long to subscribe 😩
