Tools and materials I propose:
PROXXON Longneck Angle Grinder
In this video I make a planter on the lathe out of olive wood. I finished it with epoxy to make it water proof. It was a pretty challenging project for me, but I think it came out really nice.
I begun by cutting my wood roughly to a circular piece using my chainsaw.
I then planed one side flat so I could mount it on my face plate.
I then urned the exterior using a bowl gouge.
Next I hollowed the planter as much as I could. I filled all the cracks with dust and glue and sanded the piece.
I used my carving grinder to carve four legs on the bottom of the planter. These would help water evaporate a little better.
I then turned a small platter to act as water collector.
I finished everything with a coat of epoxy. I sanded the outer surfaces from 400 to 1000grit. And then I buffed them to make a nice satin finish. That’s because epoxy is pretty glossy and I don’t like that.
This was a lot of work for a small planter but it came out really really nice. But that was it, see you soon with a new project video.
