Experimental sea snail and epoxy resin pendant

 























Tools and materials I propose:

Hot glue gun

Vacuum chamber kit

Resin colors

Buffing kit

Micro mesh sanding pads

Foredom Woodcarving Kit

Diamond Cutting Wheel Discs

Buffing Wheel Set

Mini machinist’s lathe

Jeweler's saw


In this video I make a pendant inspired by ammonite fossils. I made it out of a sea snail shell and epoxy resin.


First of all I hot glued the shell on a base to keep it steady. I used a scrap piece from a woodturning project. 


I then filled the shell with resin and de-gassed it in the vacuum chamber. 


I tried turning it on the lathe but it was too hard to turn. 


So I decided it to sand it as much as possible. Then I used a diamond disc on my rotary tool to cut off a slice. I used water to cool the piece down. I then choosed the most interesting piece.


I sanded from 100 to 320. Then I wet sanded from 400 to 1000. I polished it with my polishing pads and finally I buffed it. 


I used my metal lathe to make a brass ring, I added a leather stripe and my pendant was ready. I think it came out really beautiful.


But that was it. See you soon with a new project video.
