The Charcoal Ring

[@ursamines7643]

Doctor: you have black lung. Do you work in a mine? Peter: no, I have a KZbin channel

[@ursamines7643]

Well it was a joke and both are a carbon fuel source. Black lung is the build up of dust in the lungs. Similar to Silicosis which can be from silica and asbestos.

[@superstefan9991]

I love you show mistakes. The problem solving has helped me so much in my projects. I used to have a I messed up throw it away start over mentality and now it's more of what what can I do with this so thank you

[@aquadonia]

Agreed. I don't do any if this particular kind of work, but I do enjoy watching folks create, and I quite enjoy these videos because of the mistakes and 'detours'. Seeing all of the 'everything is according to plan' shots and the finished product videos around is cool, but part of the process is the screw ups--it's where one learns from the mistake and improves that process for the better. Seeing wonderful things created and while seeing these detours and learning the process along with the humor and honesty makes it for me. Thanks for that, Peter. 😊

[@ieuanhunt552]

It's really cool that he shows his mistakes. I shows the people who are inspired by his videos that he often has to try multiple times to succeed in a video. And they should not give up if they fail.

I wonder if he could do just the two kinds of resin to create the swirls, and leave out the charcoal. Looks like a clear bangle in lights, but flares under black light. 🤔

@@annswarmfuzzies did you not watch the video completely?

[@annswarmfuzzies]

the cyan platipus I did. Twice. Why? Did I say something wrong?

[@JustOneAsbesto]

It's kind of... almost like making a fossil. The charcoal process burns out most of the cellular filler in the wood, and you're filling the leftover structure with resin instead of minerals. A ring made of petrified wood would be amazing.

[@JustOneAsbesto]

Now I'm wondering if you could actually make fossils like this. A really high vacuum probably wouldn't be enough to empty the cells out on it's own, and then you'd probably need a REALLY high pressure tank if you wanted to mineralize it in anything short of a geologic timescale, but you could ostensibly do it with like, table salt. Or... Sugar? Maybe? Like making rock candy. Sugar fossils. Peter, I have business proposition for you.

[@korvincarry3268]

Dude, id be so down with petrified wood. I like wood grain and its look, but it just doesnt feel right to me. It always needs some leather or metal accents, or colored resin. But i feel like petrified wood would be an absolutely beautiful object to see once crafted into something. You just never see it.

[@PaullaWells]

That is so cool! IDEA: Long flat piece for a coffee table or side table top etc. (even maybe a wall art piece) with that exact charcoal. Then adhere strips of black light led strips to the underside/backside/hidden topside to highlight some of that really cool effect.

[@TheLicktysplitz]

Great idea!

[@seonaelizabethcoster8465]

That would be AWESOME!

[@maxximumb]

Or maybe a charcoal resin river coffee table. Tint the resin a transparent blue.

It is so cool that y’all like my idea. Maybe we will get to see what they come up with. 🥰

[@AreBelongToUs1]

"Did he forgot to spray mold release ?" 2 sec later "Oops and I just realized that I forgot to add mold release..."

[@GoblinKnightLeo]

Maybe for the next project: grind up the stabilized charcoal into powder and mix with the casting resin? Might get a more even distribution of the blue highlights.

[@ezequielcattalin7402]

Mmm maybe the powder would just float on top.

[@MinnesotaExpat]

@@ezequielcattalin7402 The regular charcoal powder didn't, but no idea what would happen with the stabilized powder. Or even if you could grind it up.

[@Spiralem]

anything can be blended with blendtec blender

[@dogma13gaming]

Just cast the powder in a little resin let harden then add more on top since the charcoal floats

[@runikvarze6191]

Could try grinding the charcoal to a powder then mixing or swirling into resin. May have some really wild effects under the black light.

Try Binchotan Charcoal. You think there is ONE type of charcoal?.. Think again. It's so dense it sound like glass. Takes immense skill to make.

[@insectdude1258]

Should have Bobby Duke make something with the charcoal you made. After all, it is still wewd, it's just burnt wewd. And doing something stupid is right up his alley.

The effect afterward under the blacklight is stunning, for all the frustration of the material.

I come to your channel most often when I am feeling highly anxious or have a lot on my mind. I find that your videos help to calm me so much and I must thank you for that!

I think you need to make an integrated black light into that ring because it looks so cool! I don’t know how you’d do it other than strapping a flashlight onto your forearm, but it would definitely be a conversation piece.

I don't normally watch this kind of content but I really love this channel and have been subscribed for over a year and get really excited over every new video. I think Peter Brown really has more of a personality and he talks through it, sort of experimenting while his audience watches beside him. It's way better than just watching hands do stuff silently. He's also just got a great personality haha

Yes another Peter Brown video! Can't wait to see how this turns out!

[@gavinm7446]

You should making a little scene of a house and little trees and a little road and make a miniature scene of something and then encase it in a tall cylindrical resin tube with a dome top (around 10 in diameter and like 1 foot and a half tall maybe?) And have birds or clouds or a plane or soemthin flying around near the top of the resin with the ground and the house and stuff at the bottom of the resin....just an idea. You could also make clouds out of charcoal to look like a storm and then have a black light shine through the bottom to make the clouds glow like lightning.

[@BrettTFassbind]

I've got a project that would look amazing in this material. I've got a bunch of cactus juice and alumilite clear on hand. Let's see if that black light effect will happen with different chemicals!

Hey, instead of taking large blocks of charcoal and breaking them down, what about cutting wood down to thin sticks and baking them into charcoal? They might be a more regular size and you can bundle and cast them like you do pencil rings and whatnot.

New bowl idea: have a white sponge or foam with large air pockets and use black resin or use contrasting colors like red sponge and blue resin. I believe it will give a great marbled look

[@jincyquones]

I still think it's final effect is worth experimenting with. What if you tried breaking the charcoal into smaller pieces before stabilizing? With smaller pieces, maybe the resin with penetrate more completely and you won't have as much of a problem with it falling apart on the lathe.

[@scottsimpey2965]

That has such a cool effect. Great little project. I’m sure it was a challenge to not just want to curse it out and smash it when it wasn’t working how you hoped.

[@wuerfelschmied6906]

Looks very nice, I might give that a try on my dice if I find this stabalyzing resin. But maybe you need to give the epoxy more time to fully cure. Some resins take days or even weeks to fully harden. I would say the gummy first try was just too fresh. Heat might help as well, so put it for some days in a warm place. Or it might be the interference between the two different kinds of resin that won't like eachother.
