Welcome to Square and level, my name is Scott. Turning wood to saw dust and constantly cleaning my shop takes up the majority of my free time. Making unique pieces from scrap wood and resin is what I like best. If you enjoy the process of blank preparation and turning this is the place for you, thanks for visiting! @superclearepoxypartner DISCLAIMER : Woodturning and woodworking can be dangerous, When using any tools/machinery always read & understand the manufacturer's guidelines & safety instructions.

Video Description

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.
