Woodturning - The Purple Piece

In this video I needed to make a purple bowl with highlights of black onyx. I use oak for the base then mix Black Diamond Purple Haze and Black Onyx to make a pretty cool visual. It looks like the purple is fire with the black as burnt background.

[@caribbeanhi]

Question for you, Just got into turning and watch your YT constantly enjoy your antics. Anyhow just made a resin with pine cone vase and being new and stupid forgot to place a wood block in it to cut a tenon. My question is can I glue a wood block to the resin to hold it in the chuck while I carve out the center and if so what should I use as an adhesive so it won't go flying off into the atmosphere killing all in its path. Thanks

[@MoonpieCreations]

@@williamellis8993 I think I will if I can just find some down time. Got a lot going on at work. Ain't got time to breath. lol

[@catamures1]

Very nice. I have a question. From the resin specifications, the casting layer is small (Maximum pour depth per layer: 2:1 Slow Hardener - 1/4", up to 75°F, for larger pours, slabs;) and the bowl is at least 3 inches. How does it harden so thick?

[@MoonpieCreations]

So the thickness has nothing to do with it hardening. But the larger amount you pour the quicker it hardens. lol So this type of resin hardens through a chemical reaction that causes heat. If you pour more than you should the resin will heat up extremely fast and hot. This will cause the resin to cure very fast , which causes the resin to retract. This causes the resin to crack. You can see what happens when you pour to much here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6C6Y3lrqa9-otE

[@catamures1]

Thank you for the answer👍

[@jauthement]

Do you have to sharpen your forstner bit? I ordered one from the link in your Amazon list and it was dull as all get out. Even drilling a 2" hole then widening with the 75mm (3") was useless. It just made noise and got hot.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Out of the package? I would send it back. The ones I got are very sharp. I only have to sharpen after coring out about 30 or so bowls. P.S. Remember you are talking a very cheap forstner bit, their quality standards are not like Freud or Whiteside. But they should not be dull outside the package.

[@robertdicarlo4490]

Are you the turner who used to start every video sharpening his 3/8 bowl gouge? If not do you know who that was ?

[@MoonpieCreations]

No not me. Not sure I’ve seen that sorry.

[@topazsuperwashwash3718]
