Woodturning Scrap Walnut Surprise

This is my first attempt at turning a true hollow vessel. I used some scrap walnut off cuts from the legs of my end table build. This was great fun and I plan to make more hallow vessel type pieces in the future. I got some new tools I am using in this video, I plan to go over all of these as well as the new finish I am using in a video soon. This may be the last time I use the urethane resin for a while, I want to go back and try the epoxy again now that I have had some experience with the urethane. Hoping to get a solid technique locked down so I can share some useful information. This was the closest I have come to having a mold fail in the pressure pot. I don't think I will try a diameter smaller than 7" with the polycarbonate sheet. All and all I am pretty happy with how this piece turned out. I really liked the black mixed in with the blue resin. I think the proportions are a little off in the finished piece, but I may just be too hard on myself. Will definitely be trying this one again down the road. Thank you very much for watching and I hope you have a great day!

"Maybe too hard on yourself"????🤔 I think that the colors looked great. And others do too!!!!! 😃

[@thereseremus6849]

The blue you use compliments the wood, but as a redhead I'm partial to green.

[@silviagracielastaviaky8590]

Muy creativo!!!! 👏👏👏💖💖💖🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

[@UncleFrankie]

Absolutely beautiful. Congratulations on such a great piece of art. Thanks for sharing your talent.

[@lukephillipsfurnituregener9818]

Lovely! By the way, I believe the heat from the resin caused your hot glue to soften and fail. If you just reinforce with something a bit more heat resistant, like a nice strip of gorilla tape or equivalent heavy duty adhesive strip on the outer edge of the overlap, you won’t have that problem anymore. You can even go smaller, although I think the resulting mold will be less circular.

[@Schnellanie]

Using a laser pointer is brilliant, never seen that before!

[@kellywilkins8043]

Great first attempt!! Can’t wait until you’re well seasoned! Absolutely beautiful!!

[@scottaker6103]

Turned out absolutely beautiful. The colors really compliment the piece.👍👍👍

[@timtorkelson7201]

What an artist! Beautiful for sure!👏👏👏👏

[@TheUnvarnishedTruth-]

*What an absolutely amazing result! Thank you so very much!*

[@squareandlevel]

Glad you like it! Thanks for watching. I hope you have a great day! Scott

[@greyman1k]

You are, without a doubt, a true artistic genius.

[@mikemurphy2764]

Beautiful

[@kimbersal1]

These epoxy art pieces are really beautiful, but so many people do it now that it’s kinda pedestrian. Don’t get me wrong; these guys have way more talent, skill and vision than I will ever have. Beautiful piece. Plus, I’d probably put some chicken in the cooker too. Two birds, one stone!😜

[@daniellossmacieira3684]

Que espetáculo, uma verdadeira obra de arte. Meus parabéns

[@MrPod15]

Oh my goodness, why did I not think about using a laser? Thank you. Loved the turning too, novel and covetable. Got my like anytime!

[@glencrandall7051]

Very nice. Very good shape. Good proportions. Very good color. Good production. Don't care for the music, but I don't like any music. I like the sound of the tools. I would like some commentary or at least a few captions. What brand of resin and the source? What thickness of the polycarbonate and the source? How long in the pressure pot? Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

[@davebender8901]

Simply beautiful!!

[@squareandlevel]

Thank you!

[@JOSEMIGUEL-kq8rk]

Muy bonito el jarrón, un saludo desde Granada, España

[@Rdavis6593]

Fascinating. That is a beautiful work of art. It would have been nice to see what the piece looked like at each change of tools.

[@2ndchance431]

The way the wood layout gives a beautiful spiral effect. Also, the spacing enhances that as well. Excellent in all ways! Looking forward to seeing future projects.

[@jennydrumm7223]

Stunning!! You are very talented!

[@jimputnam7539]

That is one of the most beautiful vases I’ve ever seen turned!

[@squareandlevel]

Thank you very much! I hope you have a great day!

[@carolineecou]

Very nice. Love the color.

[@joerash9020]

Nice love the blue with walnut

[@hairychest7865]

You are a talented and handsome gentleman. Blue is my favorite color. That vase is stunning.

[@CedricKarlFonk]

Beautiful!! 🎉

[@gregjohnson8486]

Beautiful vessel!! Thanks for sharing 👍🏾

Thanks for watching!👍🏻

[@pathardage1880]

striking piece. thank you.

[@davidpickens3117]

That is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS

[@jaydee5447]

Absolutely beautiful turn. It’s obvious you’re very meticulous with the entire process. The blue with that walnut contrasts beautifully. Fantastic work.

[@squareandlevel]

Thank you very much!

[@elliottsimkins74]

Great job with the General Lathe!

[@techdatamexico4530]

tasteful creation nice work!

[@gerrysmith4493]

Outstanding! Beautiful! Will done!!

[@squareandlevel]

Thank you kindly!

[@sturdyboneswoodworking]

Looks awesome Scott! Love how they spiral out from the base. Your new laser thingy is sick!

[@squareandlevel]

Thank you Mr. Bones. The “laser thingy” was a good purchase. Glad I picked it up. Thanks for watching! Your next video almost done? I hope there are more amazing water color plan paintings.

[@peterrauch6604]

Beautiful piece! Well done!!

[@robertjacobs5553]

Beautiful.. !!

[@elizaleroux9173]

Absolutely brilliant!

[@davidpickens3117]

I love your creativity. I especially loved the bowl you made in a previous video

[@jimrosson6702]

Wow absolutely beautiful love the colors and the way it turned out. Great job

[@squareandlevel]

Thanks so much 😊

[@christrees8576]

Undeniably excellent execution of a challenging project. But what a consumption of epoxy resin and nearly all to go to waste! 😢 Tempting as colour may be, just use different contrasting wood species. ❤

[@NoLumberLeftBehind]

Very nice! It would be interesting to see how a piece turns out if you torch the wood before adding epoxy.

[@squareandlevel]

Definitely something I will be trying in the future. It’s on my list for future video ideas. I’ve always really liked the way resin looks butted up to charred wood. I’ve made some pieces in the past using electricity to burn the wood and back filled it with resin. It is a very cool look. Thanks for watching! Hope you have a great day!

[@IanStreten]

Beautiful work. May I say also very brave!! Turning this vase without a lathe steady was very courageous 😮

[@douglasemerson9017]

Beautiful work.

[@squareandlevel]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@JOHNSmith-pn6fj]

Very nice work. Those colors go great together. Well Done!!

[@dtork47]

Nicely done piece. I also have used A. slow cast for a long time. Have always turned urethan and never epoxy. I do get some major chipping with slow cast if to aggressive with my larger diameter carbides! Enjoy your videos, stay safe.

[@JayZee66]

Dude, you are an Artist. I like your Designs and your Handwerk to get beautiful Forms from 2K mixes. Thanks from Germany.

[@squareandlevel]

Thank you very much!

Beautiful piece

[@alex-E7WHU]

That is absolutely stunning mate. Nice one.👍

[@squareandlevel]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@stewartmills8595]

Magnificent cent. A lot of work well worth the results.

[@turdferguson5300]

Brother I believe you've done this before. After watching a few of your videos I'll subscribe to that. Thank you

[@squareandlevel]

Thank you sir. Much appreciated. Hope you have a great day!

[@wh0tube]

May God give you patience to do more of these! 😁👍👍

[@squareandlevel]

More to come!

[@graygrand]

Very nice. Lots of work.

[@pascalch9297]

incredible, magnificent

[@squareandlevel]

Thank you!

[@johnfromleeds]

That is the best combination of wood and resin turned into a vase that I've seen. Still a bit confused about the original "off cuts". The dimensions seemed to be pretty accurate or is that just me? Anyway, congratulations. This was brilliant.

[@squareandlevel]

Thanks for watching. The off cuts were from a previous video of building two end tables. I did cut the pointy ends off so they would fit in the pressure pot, but I just got lucky the angles worked out. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. I hope you have a great day! Scott

[@TheScubaboy56]

That's lovely !

[@davidboettcher4367]

Stunning!!!

[@brenda3768]

Great job! Maybe I should try.

[@rafaelfres8745]

Beautiful!!!!❤

[@stevefoudray487]

Nice!

[@christophrossner1766]

Thats resin turning😮

[@squareandlevel]

👍🏻

[@scotter_dotter]

Another great turn. You need an art exhibit.❤

[@squareandlevel]

Thank you Mr Franklin. And as always, thanks for the kind, encouraging comments. Appreciate you always watching my videos.

[@marioduchesne1564]

Wow wow very nice

[@barrybarkley1316]

I have a 12 and 20 general lathe, i love mine

[@dannyweldon1389]

I think it’s great. I saw the thumbnail and had to watch the process. I really like the colors. Now I have to subscribe.

[@squareandlevel]

Thank you!

[@davidperelstein9708]

Nice skills

[@robertstark3326]

Beautiful piece. Was that a laser pointer guiding you on the wall thickness? I've never seen that before, Ingenius. I love the whole blue/black streaks/walnut blend...it really works well together.

[@squareandlevel]

Thank you very much. The laser pointer is part of the simple hollower kit. There should be a link in the description to their website as well as that specific tool. Thank for watching. I hope you have a great day!

[@mdaley3102]

A very elegant piece with the wood and resin shapes. I can’t wait to hear about your tools. I have a Jet midsize lathe and am wondering if there is a hollowing system I can use for deep pieces like this. I also noticed you using a buffing pad of some kind. That is also something that looks interesting to use for a smooth and perfect finish. I am enjoying your videos and hope you add some narration or subtitles down the road. Thank you

[@squareandlevel]

Thank you very much! I do plan on adding some narration In the near future. Possibly the next video. I struggle with it a fair amount and it makes the videos take significantly longer to make. We will see. I am also considering making a second channel. One for no talking and I’ll use this channel for talking. Still trying to figure this all out. Thanks for watching. Hope you have a great day!

[@eugenematison5571]

first stage of gluing - just use thin CA glue on prepared "composition". Much more precise and easy

[@squareandlevel]

👍🏻

[@equinoxproject2284]

You got lucky that the form held. Next time wrap a with tape to prevent failure.

[@squareandlevel]

👍🏻

[@BlueTurtleStudios]

Great video-This gives me some ideas for table legs with walnut blades and epoxy. My coffee table legs are usually 17 inches starting out. What is the max height of that pressure pot? Thanks love the blues!

[@squareandlevel]

This pot has a max height of 12 inches. I ended up choosing this one because of its height too. It was pretty much the biggest one I could find before the price increased significantly ( think I paid $70 for it). Good luck with the table legs. Hope you have a great day!!

[@Gus0046]

Excelente trabajo muy bonito 👏👏👏

[@Alyssa-cg9fw]

Very cool 😎

[@spindlesworkshop9744]

Love it

[@dtork47]

Very nice piece. I have used slow cast for a long time. Curious as to how you will compare it to epoxy for turning? Stay safe.

[@squareandlevel]

Thanks, will do!

[@pethoviejo]

Wow!

[@peterbarlow8912]

Nice. Please lathe guys stop the turning regularly so we can see how it develops. I zoom by a lot of the endless turning to the stopped moments

[@LeslieGallivan-mp5qi]

Some of us want to watch his tool technique while turning

[@peterbarlow8912]

Just suggesting stopping the spinning regularly to give us a look.

[@minajones1635]

This is stunning! Incredibly beautiful! That blue is mesmerizing! Do you sell your work?

[@squareandlevel]

Thank you so much. I’m sorry, but I do not sell any pieces at this time. Hope you have a great day!

[@steveroberson1855]

What and where do you get the plastic you use to wrap around the project?

[@cristiancamacho4773]

Artista puro

[@Amybaumgart]

Another amazing piece! You sure got lucky when the secondary glue failed on your mold!! I notice the pieces of wood you used all had the same “twist” to them. Was that from the design of the table legs you got the cut offs from? Did you polish the inside? Or what did you do there? Your precision is inspiring and clearly a sign of the exacting craftsman you must be with “flat work.”

[@squareandlevel]

Those scrap pieces were exactly how they came off the end tables I made. Wasn’t really a twist to them, those were just the angles I made the table legs at. Definitely glad I didn’t fill my pressure pot with resin. That would have been a unfortunate mistake. Thanks for watching! I hope you have a great day!

[@jaygriesser5009]

What angles were the table legs cut at?

[@JohnMark61355]

Beautiful work. What finish do you use?

[@JoseFrancisco-qo7wh]

Parabéns meu amigo vc trabalha muito bem serviço de qualidade muito bom meu nome é José Francisco Alves da Silva moro em João pessoa paraíba eu vejo seu trabalho

[@morgancalvi6675]

The machine hum almost gave me a heart attack. My stove just caught on fire and then I heard the hum and thought it was the refrigerator. I honestly had no clue there was a difference between urethane resin and epoxy.

[@morganclare4704]

I'd pay 100's for that piece. cheers

[@RichieTyndall]

My heart skipped a beat at 12:27

[@incy55]

Did you know that rubbing alcohol will release the bond of hot glue?

[@glen3257]

Wow!!!! May I ask how much the resin for this project cost? I am new and interested in resin turning, but a hobbyist turner.

[@squareandlevel]

I’m sorry I’m not sure of the dollar amount of resin in each piece. I buy the resin in larger quantities so it is a bit cheaper. 3 gallons of resin will usually make 3-4 pieces depending on the size.

[@daviddavies6844]

Hi YES I LIKE IT A LOT...ITS A REALLY BEAUTIFUL LOOKING VESSEL.. DAVID N.S.W. AUSTRALIA...

[@trjb-th8oj]

Beautiful you should be proud

[@G65t5]

If it doesn't bother you, use the advice Place a “container” in the tank in which you will lower the product. The additional capacity will protect your main tank if the filling compound leaks. Otherwise, what leaks out will remain in the tank forever, and this is sad

[@landroveraddict2457]

WOW!😃

[@williamkerr3350]

Great entertainment thanks

[@squareandlevel]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!

[@kenhorner4023]

What is the flexible clear plastic material you use to enclose your epoxy casting?

[@jimkline9461]

Looks really nice, and yes, you are to hard on yourself.

[@franksocia5974]

how much would you sell these for

[@squareandlevel]

I currently do not sell any of the pieces I make. This one was given to my daughter and is being displayed on her bookshelf. Thanks for watching, I hope you have a great day!
