Woodturning Lovely Maple Resin Bowl

[@squareandlevel]

I had this scrap maple left over from an old project. I milled it into 1/4” planks and spaced it with 3/16” paint stir sticks. The mold is made from 1/32” polycarbonate sheet. I am using urethane resin for the pour, not epoxy resin. I almost ran out of time for the pour. This resin only has a 12 minute working time once mixed to get it into the pressure pot, but is cured in 4 hours which is amazing. I didn’t have the guts to open it at 4 hours and waited until 5 hours had passed. Had it on the lathe in about 6 hours from pour and roughed out the blank. I have to admit I am a little disappointed in the color of the finished piece. I was hoping for a darker blue with the pearl being a little more vibrant. I am still learning and every piece I make, I gain confidence in working with resin and turning as well. I know I have a long journey ahead of me and am looking forward to new challenges and improving my skills on the wood lathe. Thank you for watching! I hope you have a great day!

[@rudlterranigma5386]

Don't be disappointed by the color. I saw this translucend resin and thought by myself that this was a perfekt choice for this design! I will humbly copy that for one of my own projects and subscribe to your channel for future 'mistakes' 😊

[@squareandlevel]

@@rudlterranigma5386 I wish you the best of luck. Hope it turns out amazing. Thanks for watching. Hope you have a great day!

[@TheBlackfire89]

I would also have loved to see it more blue metallic but is still awesome work, and you can always do it again and make version 2 ;)

[@bretteee]

Couldn't agree more

[@WoodworkingTop535]

thanks

[@TomWhi]

As a semi-professional woodturning watcher (I watch a lot of these sorts of video) I don’t think I ever considered how much time goes into the preparation! Kudos for making such an interesting video!

[@COUNT.BLISS.1234]

this guy's shop is much cleaner than my house. woooow!!!

[@rosellabill]

🤣 Mine also

[@editingproofreading4575]

Everything was wonderful. Your shop, your silent no nonsense video, your skills, your style, your imagination, and of course your creation. A beautiful work of art. Thank you for sharing. Please indulge us with more brilliant videos!

[@squareandlevel]

Wow, Thank you very much!

[@Suntecma]

even the music was perfect !!

[@gempoo3733]

I've been watching this kind of videos for over 5 years, and seen this one today was 🤯!! I loved how neat and clean you are, I loved you don't waste and have an exact idea of what are you doing. THANK YOU! This is the way things must be done. From the first video I have watched until today, this is the very first time I'm leaving a comment in a woodturning video. I can't wait for watch more of your videos. ☺

[@squareandlevel]

Thank you very much, I appreciate the kind words. I’m glad you enjoyed it. I hope you have a great day!!

[@willku9000]

There is an old adage that any form of significantly advanced technology could easily be confused for magic. Well watching this i can honestly say the same can be said about an incredible amount of Skill. Even seeing damn near every step in this video it felt like i was witnessing wise and experienced wizard, skillfully polymorph and shape their materials into an amazing and mystical object. Your skill at your craft is Truly awe inspiring.

[@squareandlevel]

Thank you very much for the compliment. I hope you have a great day!

[@NTRprojects]

Wonderful design and execution. I love the floating, weightless look of the maple.

[@squareandlevel]

Thank you very much sir. Thank you for watching. I hope you have a great day!!

[@martinbalke1843]

Nice to see someone who clearly cares about the level of professionalism they put into their work. Going as far as to have a vacuum chamber for your resin.

[@johnemmett2969]

Absoloutly stunning and, as one commentator remarked, the whole exercise was enhanced further by non intrusive talking your craft said it all. Thank you. A pleasure to watch.

[@squareandlevel]

Wow, thank you! Hope you have a great day!

[@BlueTurtleStudios]

great video--I like that you did it with no voice over-a lot more serene than having to keep a conversation as it explains itself in the process

[@squareandlevel]

I appreciate that! Thank you for watching . Hope you have a great day!

[@brianderiggi4408]

One of the coolest bowls I have seen. Color is awesome

[@MrCasutherland]

That sled as a bottom drawer is just nuts❤

[@yall2743]

Wow, you are meticulous, organized, creative, patient and with a passion for colour and woodwork. Im in awe. I would just sit and stare at this if you brought it to my table. I wish i could do this as well.. looks so much fun.

[@addictiveaussie]

That was an absolute pleasure to watch. You are a true craftsman, and one knows from the moment you set eyes on the immaculate condition you keep your workshop, that something special is coming, and I was right. That is a stunning piece.

[@squareandlevel]

Thank you very much! Appreciate the kind words. Hope you have a great day!

[@Turandot29]

Amazing artistry .... and his workshop is so NEAT and CLEAN!!!!

[@squareandlevel]

Thank you!

[@360SunTzu]

Great work on the bowl, love the music too.

[@Eke817]

Love the music….dont change it….my Grandkids are watching along with me and learning…Thank You

[@zeejimi4044]

I am a hobby woodworker, but I don‘t possess a lathe, and I will say that this is the most fascinating piece of wood wizardry that I have ever seen ! Such a bowl would fetch a good price from people who can appreciate fine art. Congratulations! 👍🌳👍

[@chipsteinberg5046]

Great teaching video. Too many of today’s turners concentrate on the turning and not on the stuff that has to happen before you even get close to the lathe. Great presentation of prep work beautiful piece and color combinations.

[@squareandlevel]

I agree. Thanks you for watching, hope you have a great day!

[@peterrauch6604]

Very nice! I enjoyed watching the steps you took to make the piece come together. Thank you for sharing your skills and techniques.

[@squareandlevel]

Thank you so much!

[@wayne5022]

Absolutely stunning! It is always a pleasure to watch a true craftsman at work. Thank you for sharing.

[@hilkom2]

When i first saw the thumbnail i was like “howd they do that??” The process was so much more intricate than i thought itd be. Awesome work!!! 🎉

[@RobynPerryCreations]

This is one of the most beautiful bowls I've ever seen! Bravo; just stunning!! 😊❤❤❤

[@olawiig-hanssen3317]

Agree!

[@squareandlevel]

Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it! I hope you have a wonderful day! Scott

[@lanceward1460]

I love how precise you are. You can really tell in the finished piece. I enjoyed every minute.

[@squareandlevel]

This is out of this world. You had me wondering what this is going to turn out to be. OMG, what a surprise. Well done, I love it. You are very talented 🙏❤️

[@squareandlevel]

Thank you so much!

[@AD270479]

So the title & thumbnail, where it tells you & shows you what it is, wasn't a give away then?

[@Roosters-rants1977]

So jealous of your shop. Also , So happy you have such a great set up.

[@TosaNewsense]

My goodness! I can't believe that started as scrap maple!! Incredible work!

[@clintmyrick4128]

Very nice video production; it told a story very well. I did not speed through it as with many of the videos I watch. Loved the table saw sled too!

[@squareandlevel]

Awesome, thank you!

[@oneminer]

Turn out to be one beautiful bowl good job

[@philstevens9914]

1) Excellent choice of background music. This guy is obviously influenced by several other acoustic players and his style in the end is really good. 2) The style of your video is relaxing and almost therapeutic, relaxing. I could see watching this while listening to the music with a nice glass of wine after a frustrating day at work. 3) There are a lot of guys (and girls) doing this style of bowl turning with resin now. I think you have to be skilled and creative to stand out. This stands out. Excellent work, and excellent video!

[@squareandlevel]

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave this comment. I truly appreciate the feedback and kind words. I was having a bit of a rough day and your kindness just made it a little better. Thank you for watching and I hope you have a wonderful day. Scott

[@philstevens9914]

@@squareandlevel Cheers Scott. I have a woodworking shop myself. I have mainly Felder machines. I have a 10' x 5' CNC router with ATC also. I originally grew up in the UK and live in Pennsylvania now since the early 90's. I picked up an old Union Graduate wood lathe recently on Long Island. I will restore it over the next few months before using. I have only turned on a wood lathe for 1/2 an hour in my entire life and that was at the age of 16 (in 1981) just before I left school. That was on a Union Graduate lathe, so now you can understand why I bought it. This is going to be interesting! I retired from the Corporate world at the age of 57 and am finishing putting my shop together. I intend to develop some sort of business from my home using the shop and work 25 hours a week. Not sure what I will do yet, I'll come up with something even if it is making drawer fronts and doors on the CNC for the cabinet industry in my area.

WOUNDERFUL WOOD AND RESIN TURNING WORK. THIS IS A UNIQUE IDEA. I USED SOF AND HARD WOOD CUMBINATION FOR SAME STYLE OF BOWEL. BUT THIS ONE IS MORE ATTRACTIV.👍😎👍

[@kingtrimmer]

Very cool Idea!

[@colinmacdonald404]

Thanks👍Great looking piece I like the way you left it transparent.

[@squareandlevel]

Thank you! Cheers!

Stunning. So creative, and the blue shades really make the piece look so “light”

Cheers from French Quarter New Orleans....bowl looks pretty cool to me. But being an artist who works in textile, I too - will often look at something, stand back, and go, 'nahhhh, it's a little off.'..Drives the old man crazy. This is a unique, lovely piece...

[@radamus210]

Beautiful piece from scrap while still figuring it out! Damn fine. I wasn't sure how that would work, with "blue and green makes yellow" but stacking and not mixing pulled it off! I mess around dying/stabilizing woods for knife handles with a vac pot - I can say, that it never comes out like you thought. You don't know until you know :D and that's the fun of the journey.

[@Mr.HYd3]

Amazing idea! Also I love maple. 👍
