Woodturning an epoxy resin and wood ring holder

 























Tools and materials I propose:

Lathe

Wood turning tools set

Chuck kit

Vacuum chamber kit

Resin colors

Buffing kit

Micro mesh sanding pads

Bandsaw

Tormek T8 Sharpening System

Tormek Woodturner’s Kit


In this video I used a really old dry piece of wood and epoxy to make a hybrid blank. Then I turned it into a ring holder.


I begun by cutting the wood to size on the table saw. I then cut the curved parts on the bandsaw. 


I prepared my mold by hot glueing the wood in place to prevent it from floating. I then filled my mold with resin and de-gassed it in the vacuum chamber. 


I then glued the blank on a scrap piece that fitted my chuck using 5 minute epoxy. 


I think with hybrid blanks carbide scrapers work best. 


After shaping my piece I sanded it until 300grit. After that I wet sanded with mineral oil until 1000grit. I then used the micro mesh polishing pads and the buffing wheel to achieve a mirror finish.


I then made a conical piece with the skew for the rings. I epoxied it in place and my ring holder was ready.


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