@@mikewestman78 Yes, the good resin. If you are an OG Nick Zammetti fan, you may remember he used Resin4art resin, which was really good and did not tear out all the time while turning. Now he uses that crappy entropy resin that tears out when turned. He must be sponsored by makers of crappy resin.

Rather than turning old shirts into shop rags I have been saving them to make some larger micarta blanks for bowls and handles.

The layering reminds me a lot of Fordite. If you've never heard of it it's a manmade agate from layers of car paint that's a side product of car painting. It would be cool to see how something like that could be used in resin art.

[@nan9712]

Nick. Given how chuffed you were with a flat stack of similarly patterned fabric, I reckon you would get even bigger thrill if the fabric set in resin was on the diagonal, or even folded in different directions. More diverse fabrics, e.g. sequins, lace, and the like would add to the effect. It would co e out awesome

I remember learning about micarta from Peter brown's channel, he made a hammer out of that and gave it to Adam savage. Not to undermine the content you have on this video, what you made looks beautiful.

[@Excitable67]

That is really, really cool! Certainly not what I would have expected! What a cool idea they had for setting the material in resin! You could do similar projects with quilting material bundles, too, I bet! They'd be smaller, but still possible to make neat stuff. Maybe even just something egg shaped would be cool!

[@Charlielizard]

That turned out fantastic. I've seen micarta scales made the same way for knife handles, but those are 1/4 inch or 6.5 mm thick. That bowl took me back to my days in the 60's when everything was tie-died and multi colored. Nick, you're the best! Love your channel and share it with my friends. Thank you for making my night/day a very special one. Good times and wish you, Charlie and family the best. ✌

[@ronpeters506]

It looks so cool. My Father worked for General Motors and used to bring home chunks of paint they break off the frames that the cars travel on through the paint booth and or dip tanks. It builds on on the frames and they would chip it off every year or two but it is thousands of layers of baked on paint no resin needed.

[@dhammer73]

Greetings from Canada. Enjoying all the creations. Inspiring me to make something myself.

[@michaela8437]

One trick I use to add a killer "shine" at the end is using an auto polish once I'm finished with my micro-mesh pads. After I micro mesh it down, I add a bit of Griot's 3 in 1 polish and it really makes things glow on resin or CA. It would shine that up even better and it would glow at the end even better!

[@NobukiPhu]

Dude, this looks fantastic! It's brilliant that the handkerchiefs floated ever so in he setup, to allow for the layers to come through. Side note: Several other VPNs offer the ability to run on multiple devices, on a single subscription. I'd be careful making false claims in this age, as those other companies might push the issue.

Looks a lot like some stuff that gem cutters here in the USA call Fordite. Fordite is a bit of serendipity, the built up layers of resin/paint that was on the walls of the various automotive manufacturers' paint shops, after millions of vehicles. It's really special and getting to be in short supply, now that painting methods and paint formulas have changed over the decades. I like how it turned out.

Idea for a future project.... Cast a tall, narrow, cylinder of clear resin - with a wooden core. Turn the cylinder to a vase shape. Wrap the vase with yarn (e.g a colour-changing wool yarn that's 'fluffy') then re-cast that in clear resin again. Turn the vase again to remove surplus resin, so you just leave about 1 cm/0.5 inch shell of clear resin on the yarn, then hollow out the vase, removing the wooden core so it looks like the yarn is just floating around the stem of flowers🌺🌻🏵
