Resin & Charcoal: Creating a Charcoal Bowl

[@peterbrownwastaken]

Lets quickly address safety. I don't recommend anyone turning charcoal. You need a respirator (which I had), and some way to contain the dust! I had both a dust collector and a full overhead shop air filter running. I filmed in short spurts, and this took me almost a full afternoon to turn as I keep the sessions to a few minutes at a time. Be safe, Don't try this at all.

[@redfox4524]

An absolutely fantastic finished product. Great vid.

[@aynun1647]

Thanks for the heads up! I think this is my favorite bowl you’ve made.

[@Thukfudo]

I don't know if that's true for any "wood" turning. But if you do this be sure there are no sparks or open flames nearby. You can look up a lot of videos on dust explosions here on KZbin.

[@seamonster4554]

SooooOo... ... cam i have it?

[@TheEveryMaker]

Under blacklight, this might be my favorite piece that you've done.

[@handIe_THIS]

The blacklight part surprised the heck outta me. :Clap: :nClap:

[@chrisburklow3969]

Very cool.

[@daddyspooge1]

Me too! Is it the stabilizing resin or the charcoal the fluoresces?

[@VTRAddict]

@@daddyspooge1 there's an additive in the "Cactus Juice" branded stabilising resin that glows under black light so you can see how well it's penetrated into the material when you start cutting into it.

[@cathrinebutler9114]

Mr brown: *turns off lights* Me: HOLY MOTHER OF GOD WITCHCRAFT

[@devilskiss8421]

Cathrine Butler he doesnt turn off lights he turned on black light

[@GglSux]

@@devilskiss8421 I HIGHLY doubt that the resin glows so strongly that the footage of it "glowing" was done without turning the the lights off. So I would venture that he: Turned the black light ON, AND turned the regular lighting OFF. Best regards.

[@zp6097]

My jaw literally dropped when he hit the switch! So awesome!

[@hellfire3509]

U mean turns on blacklight

[@Wordsnwood]

I thought the charcoal looked cool. Then I saw the lathe shaking and shaking and I thought it was going to blow up in your face. Then at the 12 minute mark I could see THROUGH the bowl as you were sanding it. Awesome. And then you turned on the black light. I salute you, Mister Brown! I think you were as surprised as we were. Wow. Hmm, have you tried a duct tape bowl? crumple up some duct tape and soak it in resin. Its got a light side and a dark side and it holds the universe together...

[@dayoldpepsi652]

Wordsnwood (Art Mulder) I would say it makes the world go round but I think it’s just holding it in place

[@ghostbeebuilds]

It's very rare that a piece of art literally takes my breath away. I forgot what it felt like until you turned on the black light. Phenomenal.

[@notanimposter]

Ah, that'd be the charcoal dust. You should wear a respirator.

[@gourrythecrazy]

Probably the best bowl that you have made so far. Even beats my old favorite, Secret Wood Bowl

[@peterbrownwastaken]

Thank you! I think it's my favorite too!

[@nowonmetube]

This one? kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z367gGp_ituLa9k

[@Bolverkr13]

At first I was like “ah cool charcoal”. But then you put it under the black light and I was like “ah cool the souls of the damned”

[@grahamcates5212]

My girlfriend and I both love the way the bowl turned out in blacklight. She wanted me to express the idea she had of putting the bowl on a lighted stand, but have the bulb be blacklight so you can see the effect on the bowl.

[@TheRisskee]

I second this motion! Sounds like a perfect idea. 😎🤙

[@AllanSBishop]

Hell yah that would look amazing

[@janisi9262]

I had the same thought!

[@AnomalousZoologist]

Your lathe can't complain that much... I mean it's TECHNICALLY still turning wood. And HOLY COW! That stabilizing resin made it so much cooler!!!

[@evok_trip_toke]

Izices if youve seen his recent fb posts his lathe actually broke. So i would say it complained enough. HA

[@hexyoutubeaccount]

When you turned on the black light my jaw literally dropped that’s incredible!!

[@zp6097]

Hex's youtube account - I did the same thing! And my jaw doesn’t like to drop, but it did it this time! 😁

[@bowserk.44]

Even still knowing that the black light was in the video, my jaw still dropped seeing it like that.

[@ValadiaKristoffersen]

Yeah, right?? Me, too!! So cool!!!

[@Granite]

That black light effect was amazing.

[@Stuntman2304]

So use the stabilizing resin, some charcoal, regular casting resin, and a black light bulb....use some really cool wood, make yourself the coolest light fixture ever and use the “bowl” as the “lampshade”

[@truthfulkarl]

DO THIS!!!

[@stephenadams5293]

I think that would be awesome to see. I think you could pull it off

[@Cameron_arts8699]

You'd have to be careful and make sure there's some way for heat to escape from the top, if resin heats up too much it'll become malleable and loose its shape

[@debrabosch3362]

Is the black light only in incandescent or is it available in L.E.D as well?

[@wjspade]

Debra Bosch They make black light LEDs.

[@larissaorozco3255]

Rob from threadbanger and Peter have a thing for bowls.

[@SafetyPinner]

Rob needs to pour a bowl blank and send it to Peter to turn. I hope Peter is okay with blood.

[@monster_xml]

They should have a bowl making bowl competition

[@raf42]

I know this is an older video, but I just wanted to say that when you turned on the blacklight, I let an audible gasp. Truly a stunning work of art.

[@evok_trip_toke]

WOAH. When you turned on the blacklight i audibly GASPED. It went from a 10/10 to a 1000/10. I love your videos and following you on facebook. Been a longtime fan and ill never stop.

That bowl is beautiful! I can´t wait to see what you are going to do with the fact that the stabilizing resin is fluorescent under blacklight. I imagine we will see some crazy projects in the future. Regarding your broken lathe: Have you thought about getting in contact with "this old tony"? That could be a nice colab and your lathe can probably handle solid steel after he is done with it..

It is indeed a beautiful bowl, it makes me wish I had my lathe actually set up (and also a stabilizing resin system). I love the depth that you can see in the charcoal and the crystal clear resin that surrounds it. And then you turned on the blacklight and my jaw dropped. Between the two modes to viewing it you have a work of art.

I wonder if the blue hues and highlights could be a result of the stabilizing resin displacing some of the tars and oils that remain in charcoal. You should ask Cody's Lab. He did a video about activating charcoal, and mentioned the oils and tars that are present in "raw" charcoal.

[@darklordofapathy]

Maybe the resin is acting as a sort of diffraction grating with the surface of the charcoal?

[@jairusswint6703]

@@darklordofapathy that is what I was thinking.

[@Lunatikhex]

Could also be that the black that the charcoal has is a blue based black

[@jairusswint6703]

@@Lunatikhex my argument against that is, that it was once wood and therefore organic. Most organic things turn brown when they oxidize. Fire is a rapid oxidation reaction and charcoal is made with it, so I politely disagree. TL;DR: Nah, wood is brown.

The blue color on the charcoal could be oil residue that didn't burn off when they burn the wood into charcoal and the stabilising resin bought it out and and put it on the surface of the charcoal

Probably more the stabilizer than the oil. They make a point to use dryer types of wood in charcoal production. However I can't physically inspect the charcoal to verify that.
