Hi Will. Well you know that I've just started turning & I'm still building up my kit but resin work does interest me & I can see myself playing about with it in the future. I don't know much, in fact anything really, about it so I found this video very interesting & informative. I will need to look into a pressure pot & find out how they work, how to operate them & what other bits of kit I'd need to do so. I already have a compressor so I suppose that's a start. Thanks for the info'. I enjoy all your videos but I really enjoyed this one. Cheers Will 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Cheers buddy. appreciate you watching. I'm very new to all this as well so we'll all muddle along together, Cheers From Will 👍

[@andykargans2885]

Fantastic content again William, keep up the great work. Are you allowed full fat milk in your house,…. I remember those days,

[@William_Kenny]

For sure 😁thanks for watching Andy, Cheers From will 👍

[@PeteTwistedTrees]

Oh William, William, what a dangerous path you tread 🤣

[@William_Kenny]

I know pete but it might be fun 😁

[@inspectr1949]

What keeps the pine cones from floating?

[@William_Kenny]

I trimmed them up so they were a tight fit in the moulds, and also they were stabilised so a little bit heavier than normal, sometimes one might float so I just put a bit of scrap wood on top for a weight, Kind regards From Will 👍

[@andykargans2885]

Have you ever done corn cobs, never done casting myself, but will get there at some point

[@William_Kenny]

Never done them Andy, Never done any casting before it's all new to me😀

[@joeribak]

Corncob husks make for very pleasing pens. Husks need to be free of corn and seeds of course. And definitely dry and maybe Cactus Juiced!

[@William_Kenny]

@@joeribak sounds intriguing 👍
