Woodturning - mixing resin cubes to make a small funky vase!

This project was inspired by a subscriber, which is really cool. I mixed up lots of different colored resin cubes/circles and then placed them in another load of resin to make this funky vase.

Now you could collect all the colorful shavings, put them in resin again and create a counterpart-vase for this one, haha :) love that funky little thing, so amazing! It never gets boring seeing you create things and show the process - it's so interesting and entertaining to watch! ♥

[@karaivie6484]

SeelenfresserMiles I second using the colorful shavings for a second piece!

[@adamwilliams7074]

Just thought the same thing

[@azyfloof]

And then save the shavings from *that* project, and on it goes 😜

[@thehelpfulcraftsmanmormon9647]

I thought the same thing

[@scotttrandem8308]

I was thinking a similar thing. But I think more colored shavings.

[@gwynneclark6372]

Another very entertaining project ,please don’t edit the video “if it’s not broke don’t fix it” your videos are a breath of fresh air thanks from South Australia

[@SupportMensMentalHealth]

I love how even if it is a complete fail (look for his slime one) he still posts it and says he's learned, very unusual for a youtuber to show everything, warts and all

[@mamabearssheshedtracykeato6941]

I believe it would look smashing if you would put a small LED light inside of it! Many blessings to you and your family!

[@shaynecarter-murray3127]

beat me to it :) !

[@jeffhiggins4478]

Exactly what I was going to say! LED tea lights are super cheap on Amazon too.

[@CynthiaPrice79]

Tracy Keaton I was thinking he could cut off the stem and use it as a light globe! 😂 GMTA!

[@Meekimotosyoutubechannel]

I concur

[@jeannehinrichs5734]

that what I was thinking

[@esmev.3656]

To be honest I don’t know how this channel got on my timeline but I’m loving it. Man he’s handsome!

[@compasscenterforfamilies7645]

My friend asked me if I watched because of the accent and I was like, nope. Its his face. So hot!

[@wanetawentz9162]

Hes a married man ladies...geesh!!!

[@Lilly12]

Isn't he just.... When I go to my friends and we watch KZbin I say put my hubby man on, she knows I mean ☝️😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 He's gorgeous 😍

[@almandinine]

OH! *enthusiastically raises hand* That was my idea! I had it when watching your Lego pen #2 video. And today when I saw this one pop up I just thought "wow, that sounds awesome!" and then you said it was someone's idea and I went "... hang on!" and went to dig up that comment. :D This turned out really awesome, so thank you for using my idea! Now I wish even more that I could come to Makers Central, but I live in Sweden, so... Also, I think if you washed the "cubes" (semispheres is the word you're looking for there!) in alcohol or something before putting them in the resin, it would adhere better. Various layers of grease or dust or something might be involved! ;)

[@allieg6401]

I LOVE this project! I wish I had a set for my crochet, sewing, scissors, pens etc... All lined up on my desk!! Would look amazing I'm a bunch of different sizes! AMAZING!! 😀

[@homespuntools2115]

OOOOOh you need to save all those rainbow shavings and put them back into resin. It would make tiny flecks of colour.

[@katiehardy8212]

My daughter, who's not yet two, and I love watching your videos. She loves it when your working on the lathe.

[@vharrald]

Drop a little tea light inside for a psychedelic type light

[@Treesah35]

I just found your channel yesterday, and here I am again today. You are now a daily joy for me to watch. Thank you so much!

[@SatanSupimpa]

Now you shouls try clear resin cubes and fill the rest of the space if dyed resin.

[@J.watkins_01]

It looks like it could be a disco ball! 😄🙂 Looking forward to Makers Central. It's going to be great seeing all of these amazing creations and meeting the makers!

[@sethcragan6908]

Something you might want to look into his those silicone ice trays come in a wide variety of shapes. Everything from the half spheres you were using to guitars, Hearts, puzzle pieces, death-stars, skeleton bones, and pretty much anything you can think of. It would be cool to use some of these shapes Within a project. Even come binding different shapes such as hearts and puzzle pieces to make a Valentine's type project. You know, you're the missing piece mushy stuff. LOL.

[@wolflynnx4]

Seth Cragan Yeah like those LEGO pieces !!!

[@sethcragan6908]

Heather McGuire exactly.

[@biancabrooks280]

3 words Gummy bear mold

[@sethcragan6908]

Bianca Brooks .. assumed people's do resin molds with actual gummy bear in them. But I suppose you could not put that on the lathe and turn it. Unless you then put a protective coating of resin around the exposed gummy parts. And you could also do any color you wanted you which would be cool as well. I think it would be really cool to use some of the other shapes. Like they have Star Wars ones that I think would look awesome.

[@laranelemans651]

Seth Cragan Peter Brown made an axe handle out of gummie bears in resin, you should check it out.

[@kathyjones9389]

It's a joy to watch you and your sense of humor.

[@lorenmws]

You should set up a couple LEDs in the bottom, so that when you fill up the vase with water or something it lights up.

[@jbean1035]

You are a creative genius! Seriously, thank you so much for sharing your imaginative talents with us and making the world a more beautiful, magical place. Love from Canada❤️

[@That1Guy741]

This was beautiful. Next you should try and make small resin cubes and adhere them together like a rubix cube. That would make a great piece to turn.

[@stacydolan2223]

clay womack I love that idea!

[@inmyopinion4584]

I am so hooked on watching your videos! I wish I had all that equipment to make some cool stuff. But I can't afford any of it so I'll continue to live vicariously through you, lol. Great work and I love your sense of humor.

[@owdjockey4459]

Hi Nick, I have a bad habit of sometimes mixing up too much resin on my projects. However, I do have silicone ice-cube moulds on standby to pour my surplus resin into to put aside for future use, like this particular project.

[@tanyabarker4406]

I would call it a small rose bowl. Ideal for miniature roses. Love it 😍 👌🌹. Would also look great with a small tea light in it.

[@chillaxter13]

I love all of your projects, but these fan/subscriber inspired ones are my favorite! Great job on another funky creation! Keep up the awesome

[@Lil_refresha]

It could be used as a planter for small succulents

[@angelafrazier1256]

Ash PS OH YESSSSS

[@shannoncharlton46]

I think you should do a resin pot with a secret compartment in the bottom for rings and trinkets I think that would be amazing mate cheers

[@chillaxter13]

Shannon Charlton Great idea! I'd love to see that too...

[@janetdeloach4712]

That is a groovy looking bowl. What a funky piece....

[@ScheelesGreen]

Max Headroom!!! 💖💖💖 Also the vase is awesome, too!

[@cahproductions4695]

That looks like a light fixture from the 90s and I love it 😄😃

[@jonsucrese]

That would have made a nice lamp color full and neat

[@_GreenSkies_]

Omg I'm in love with this... this is my specific brand of funky 😍

[@rontorkelson4534]

I think the term you were looking for is Hemispheres.

[@mikestevens3247]

Or pucks?

[@Stephapokus]

Thank you lol

[@michaelsherwin4964]

Or DOME

[@daemonCaptrix]

Dalek pips

[@vivianbrooks1939]

Turned out beautiful. The cracks make it unique. Thank you for the wonderful work.

[@pinkcharpie]

So I haven’t watched all of your videos so you’ll have to excuse me if you’ve done this before but have you ever considered making something out of the resin shavings from when you are turning? Their streamer-like look and really light colours could look cool ?

[@user-uc6hg5tp2h]

CharweBear Peter Brown did this. The resin shavings turn clear in the liquid resin. Though it might make a cool effect with the colored shavings.

[@lynniev]

Domes. That was the word for the half sphere things. Fun project!

[@candiwalkowski7480]

Now do the opposite concept - a vase made of clear resin hemispheres suspended in colored resin. Maybe make them a set, and use one for holding paper clips and the other for pencils?

[@jupekai4601]

Hemisphere is what they are, it looks awesome!

[@mojosbigsticks]

Who else was screaming "HEMISPHERE" at their screen?

[@purplemykka]

Or cabochon?

[@mojosbigsticks]

Ooh yes, a much better word. Use that one.

[@ladykayla7417]

Me!

[@GaryLane080157]

Semisphere..lol

[@mojosbigsticks]

Arcane gaming reference there!

[@EricWilliams-ms3ro]

Loved how this turned out. Was really funky indeed.

[@yvonneasquith9771]

This would of looked Amazing asa wine glass x

[@SirGuido]

Yvonne Asquith Have. Would HAVE. Not would of.

[@allieg6401]

I'm so with you there!

[@EdOfTheNorth]

Small spruce, tamarack or pine cones make a very nice filler as do the needles themselves. Colorful leaves in autumn as well if placed properly and you heat your mixed resin in the microwave prior to the pour to facilitate the resin soaking into the leaves also looks amazing. I've done this with whole flowers and rose petals as well and found good results. Just some ideas which might be to your liking. Mosquitoes, ants, and yellow jackets also make for some amazing pieces if you fix them with two separate pours. Just clear resin or a cylinder of wood for the center cavity which is all to be cut away, and then the insects fixed to the wood and then a larger pour around this, making sure your resin is thick enough to shave without touching the insects. Cool as cool can be.

[@MildredCady]

So do all the shavings of resin just turn white with no color? If they reliably retain some color, it might be fun to mix them into a pot with some resin and suspend the shavings.

[@Notoriouspink1]

You're fabulous! My daughter and I love you! We're watching you from Hawaii!

[@cavalierguy6754]

hey buddy, resin will not easily bond to cured resin, your Colored HEMISPHERES. sand them before mass pouring or take out HEMISPHERES before fully cured and do mass or final pouring then. that is a great project but needs to be larger for sure. maybe a tall vase, 3-4" wide or 8-10cm wide at base and top lip! a wooden base with a mild led base light would be a knockout project! nothing short awesome though, really like it! try this idea, sure you will be very happy and inspired to experiment more!

[@pinkporcupineknits]

Ronald Kurtzhals I was checking to see if someone else made that suggestion before I did!

[@IilaStarfyr]

Every time you said "cube" I broke into giggles. This project was lovely! I've seen several comments about colored resin poured around clear resin domes/hemispheres and I am hoping you'll do something like that in the future.

[@suefraser3611]

Hemisphere is the word I believe you're looking for... :)

[@ClownSahdovah]

or dome :D

[@rachelmedhurst1986]

Cabochon?

[@kerithforeman6301]

That's So Cool, An Upside Down Vase!! I Love It!!

[@bmemike]

I would love to see a small tealight inside of it. You can get small battery-operated ones if you don't want to deal with an open flame. Might look cool to have it glowing from the inside.

[@valeriepurcell5229]

Talented, gorgeous and you know Max Headroom?!?!?!?! Dang! The perfect man right there! Love your channel!

[@tinabeegle8871]

I just love the different colors in this piece..I tip my hat to the watchers that gave you the great idea💗💗💗

[@Lovealllife369]

Put a tea light in there.

[@vivianbrooks1939]

Catching up on vids I missed. That is really funky. The cracks give it character. Still beautiful

[@zodefamily4382]

Fab video! We love watching your makes. Could you put a candle in something like this? Or would it affect the resin?

[@lindahobbs5545]

Love the pot. Your love of pencils crack me up!

[@Oakhart76]

Nick, just found this channel. 2 thumbs up and greetings from America. I just watched your vid where you made use of shavings from various tree/wood species and had an idea. What about obtaining small samples of wood from each continent, turn a sphere to be used as a globe, create reliefs in the shape of each continent then fill them with resin mixed with shavings from each continent's corresponding native species. Perhaps you could make an easier version by creating a rectangle "world map" instead of the globe. This was my idea for something meaningful to be given away to a lucky subscriber in celebration of this channel's 100,000 subscriber milestone. It could represent the common interests in woodworking that is shared among so many of us which brings us together despite our many geographical locations or other such things like fundamental differences in culture that so often work to divide us. I don't know... just an idea. And to address the elephant in the room concerning how to fill areas on a sphere with resin but without it flowing away from the reliefs where the resin is intended to remain... I believe if the reliefs were small enough, and kept shallow, you could wait for the resin to thicken a bit, have the sphere remain on the lathe, pour the resin into the relief, then set the whole thing spinning at a constant slow rpm (perhaps 10-15 rpm maybe?). Use heat lamps to accelerate the resin's set time and once it's hardened, clean up any excess resin by turning it one last time using a finishing tool of your choice or a series of sandpaper grits. Keeping the layer(s) of resin shallow should help with bubbles and manageability. Anyway, love the content and am looking forward to seeing the channel grow! Cheers. *Note: I have never attempted this myself and I am NOT a master craftsman in this area of woodworking. This is ONLY an idea and should be treated as such.*

[@MorrahaDesigns]

Kilroy was here your screen name is fantastic!

[@mvdiazs]

Yay! I always wondered what that would look like. I think this piece would be great for those small battery operated candles.

[@wolflynnx4]

I also noticed that you can turn the vase upside-down into a LED light(s) & put a smallish serving tray/plate (metallic or see through) filled with sweets, hors d'oeuvres, or centerpiece

[@wanetawentz9162]

Love the little resin vase resin thingy Nick!!!💕🙋‍♀️💕🇺🇲😁🤗

[@chaoslordgodzilla2708]

Try and do confetti or even layers of diffrent color resin

[@carolynnwaud7146]

I've never had much luck with resin here.I love your ideas.

[@tysonmadding8559]

Nobody gets my max hed hed hedroom references.....I thought maybe I imagined him

[@JADufault21]

I remember watching Max Headroom on Cinemax (USA) in the mid-1980s.

[@rainbowplay481]

I watched so many vids and only now realized that „this TURNED out well“ goes very good to a wood TURNING channel xD

[@ItsLadyJadey]

"I should've probably mixed them in cups." -Proceeds to do it the same way again anyway.

[@margaretgrover-rb3ed]

It looks like a mini brandy snifter. It looks really cute

[@KAMIIINCHEN1]

i think this would be more funky with another ice cube form. I mean there a fishs or other animals for example

[@christinacw621]

This is AWESOME!!!! You should do more like this!

[@tommysdreamhamilton3216]

Can u use the shavings in a piece one day. Grt piece by the way.

[@LostWhits]

I love your plywood pressure pot (Tray? stand? miniature bookcase?) Thingymajiggy . See so many people struggle to put stuff in their pressure pots.

[@spoplehughes]

love me some max headroom

[@spoplehughes]

talking of which ,what with the rash of re-makes with movies i am hoping they re-do max . If they do i think christopher titus is a shoe in for the max role he wouldnt need any make up even lol

[@sylviebergeron7429]

I keep thinking it's a nice candle holder. I love it!

[@pogostix6097]

If it makes you feel better I tried to say "Fermented Dairy Product" the other day (I was describing cheese) and said "Demented Fairy Product" instead.

[@jaysonschor]

Needs a light in there now! Beautiful!

[@Turb0tron]

If you’re like my roomies, you’ll put the trays back in the freezer empty!

[@wraithe85]

That vase was SOO PRETTY!!!!!!😍😍😍🏺⚱

[@juliebaker6969]

Why not reuse all of the shavings from various colored resin projects and use them like you did the tinsel, bright and metallic colors would look especially good I think.

[@GaaraJunkie]

The hemispheres look pretty fun as well

[@carldavis919]

Think it would been better to drill out the bottom and add a light

[@stevedimond267]

They look like the popper things you turn inside out we got as kids👍👍

[@101akafox]

Domes would be the word your after

[@ijmodified]

Andrew Fox wouldn't dome imply not solid

[@3d_alliance]

first name last name no a dome is a half sphere most of the time it is hollow though

[@nicolle4578]

I think it would make a cool candle holder, the flame from the inside would make the colors light up beautifully

[@dallaswoiken7533]

Now caste all the shavings in resin lol

[@tinajorucker4369]

That's my favorite piece you've done! If you put some of those little resin dots in a container with a nice piece of wood and covered it with resin then turned it! Badass it would be!

[@jitsujim]

That is so cool! That would be a really cool design for goblets or wine glasses

[@candye4291]

I think it's really cool. Kinda like a gumball machine. Awesomeness!!!

[@SBDScott]

This idea should be re-visited on a larger scale, with your newer techniques, and increased experience. It turned out awesome, and I think if done again could be even better!

[@906mixy]

Its SO BEAUTIFUL! you should do more of them!

[@brat2004brat]

I think it wld look so cool with a candle in it. It will make the colors pop so well. I wld love this

[@pennymartin3821]

I think vase would make a groovy light too! I love it Nick Thanks.

[@justinhughes889]

Resin tumbler cup was what I was thinking that would’ve been awesome
