it's go time things are happening oh I didn't even think about that hey guys
we're Evan and Katelyn and today we made this resin geode table so before we do
any of the fun geode resin stuff we have to process this cookie first step and
you need to flatten it out but we don't have the tools to do that in our shop so
we're gonna go to our friend Jason's shop from Helmwood Urban Lumber and he's
gonna help us out yeah Jason's also the one who got us in touch with Chris from
Harvest Lumber Company which is where we actually got the slab from we'll have links
to both of their websites in the description below but for now let's get
to flattening the slab so we flattened this with a router sled it's basically
two rails and a sled that sits across them and you go back and forth with your
router little by little until the whole thing is flat the most important thing is to
make sure everything is level and parallel it creates a lot of dust and it
takes a long time but it totally worked
so we flattened almost all of it and I know you're saying almost what are you doing
is these two little bits right here this is gonna be the bottom where the legs
you're telling everyone our- that's our secret you're not supposed to tell people
I mean no worries we're just flipping it yeah it's 100 percent done not 98 percent
all right so while we're doing the final sanding of this we're also gonna be
removing all of the I thought I could get one ah all of the bark nailed it
after many hours the slab is done and the next thing that we are gonna do is
power carve into it which is a little bit painful so we took out our
inspiration for these these guys that we made here a little bit ago we're gonna
see how they mesh together so these are resin geodes we made a couple weeks ago
to practice for this exact project it's just too underwhelming it's too
underwhelming this is a better size still feels like a little bit not enough
big kahuna this is gonna be way too big we do wanna do crystals in the
middle and like actually you do a cutout like this one oh no it's not that much -
I think it's way too big imagine all of this wood gone maybe just leave a border
three inches thick oh my gosh that's so much smaller what if we photoshopped it
or something that is a really good idea
okay so we decided on a design we're using the rings of the tree to dictate
where our geode's outlines gonna be and where the hole is gonna be think this
will look good even though it feels so wrong to be drilling into this we're
gonna start with the center get this good work out from there
to get the hole drilled all the way through properly aligned I'm gonna
extend this quarter inch hole all the way through the backside and then come
up on the other side and join the two holes basically dual-wielding
slightly thicker than our hole saw can handle let me see if I can gently persuade it
come on oh yeah!
it pooped tree poop is valuable
so Arbortech is sponsoring this video
and you're gonna be seeing a few of their tools first up
is their Mini Grinder which might look a little bit small but it's really powerful
the Mini Grinder can really eat away at material but you can also sneak
up on a precise line
woo did I get it all off haha no
so the next step is to carve a recessed area out of the
cookie so we can pour our resin in there but before we do the original one I did
some test pieces we wanted to figure out should we do a hard edge around that
curved recess area or should it kind of slope out gradually so you can probably
see it best on this one I think we're gonna do a hard edge cuz it contains the
resin better we noticed it really easily spills over the sides and you have a
gradual pour and we don't want this kind of mess going on so I'm gonna do
a hard-edged slight recess this area we're going to use our next Arbortech
tool this is the TURBO Plane it's the same one we used on our ripple bench
which we'll put a link to that it cuts on the bottom but not on the side so
once I have that outside edge defined I can go deeper without worrying about
cutting into my side it'll just cut down alrighty
let's get some chips flying yeah
okay we're done carving somehow got super late but we have to
pour tonight so what we're gonna do first is prep a few things we made sure
that this is all level we're gonna tape off the inside to make sure resin
doesn't pool inside here and we're gonna tape off the underside anywhere that
there's cracks so that it doesn't go all the way through and glue this to the
wood and if you have a lot of questions about resins and dyes and all that stuff
we do go into that a lot more in another video we'll link that below and we have
a video where we just do a resin geode so we'll link that to but for now we'll
get taping and then it's resin time
it's too short
there we go is this overboard I don't know
this is what we go into panic mode yeah this has about like a 30 minute working
time until it turns kind of gel-like so we got to go this beginning bit is
always like one of the most nerve-racking because like the timer is
started but we haven't poured anything yet cuz also like it feels like it takes
forever to mix I know and you're like ahhh things are happening
I'm gonna start of the first pour of clear look at the color change
it's like finishing it but permanently permanently
I'm gonna use the hot- the hot- the hot air gun words
I have this feeling remind you to pour more than we think look it just like
absorbed his end grain is thirsty oh I didn't even think about that
I think that's good you can start doing that I'm gonna mix it up another batch of
clear I'm going relatively heavy on the white because it always gets squished year
we always need more white
so it always looks terrible at the very beginning what is this did a child do this
oh this looks so bad
try to do this black right along the very edge we mixed some real pretty
colors I think I'm gonna go ahead and start yeah
you wanna do like outwards from the center
can you pass me that green ink green ink I'm gonna make some cells the alcohol
ink does crazy stuff
whoa look at that bloom going on there
might need to do more cuz otherwise
it's gonna look like a face with two eyes and a mouth
muh! gimme more resin!
oh that's cool whoa Katelyn look at that
whoa that makes it look super geode-y
apply it a little bit more yeah it looks more like eyes
I think let's flame it hahaha
we did it we can't touch it anymore I want to it's so hard to stop super excited though
I'm excited to see how this edge did wait I want to like admire it for a
second it'll be even cooler once this is gone though you're right oh my gosh
that looks amazing oh yeah that looks so much cooler
Wow that's looking like something it's probably
kind of hard to tell but there's definitely little cells
that appeared overnight little concentrated areas you have like these
large cells created by the gold drops we did I love how the gold is kind of like
at that edge right here speaking of edges
this wasn't level we made sure that this is all level so this side is higher than
this side are we gonna try to sand this down at all or do you think just pour
clear over it I think pour clear over it but before we do that we need to add
some crystals on the inside actually I think we should I think we should bless you
I think we should sand this before we do the crystals
because it's gonna be hard to get dust out from
the crystal area and we don't want to seal it in forever so
there's a little bit of an edge from where the tape contacted we're gonna
knock down that sharp edge real quick
so before we glue the crystals down we're actually gonna paint
the inside of this sparkly white so that if any of it
shows between the crystals it's not gonna be dark and contrast-y it should
all just kind of merge together so we have some white acrylic paint
und some glitter
how much glitter is too glitter? haha how much glitter is too glitter
unicorn poop going for that goo video type content now
maybe it will reveal itself when we paint it now it won't it's lumpy now!
just try it just try it
why would you make me do this? attempt number two
attempt 3 yeah that looks better that looks a lot better
but we're about to get a little crazy we're gonna add a little bit of
teal and green and some of the colors that are in there oh yeah
yeah I like it can I add a little surprise
what is your plan here
whoa look at that look at that oh it looks magical
that looks so good now we have to decide how we're gonna do crystals I don't know if
we need to record all this we don't really know what we're doing yet BRB
what I'm thinking is layer of larger crystals at the bottom as we get closer
and closer to the top we can do smaller and shorter ones
let's do it we'll timelapse it
so Katelyn's been having a hard time gripping these little ones so I have an idea
here you hold this like this you're crazy hot glue hack videos hot glue it
at the end now let's try it again with the modified ones
oh my gosh that's freaking perfect
that looks so pretty oh my gosh I've spent probably
the last two hours in my life individually placing crystals
it's worth it looks like there's an actual gem
all the way through this tree trunk yeah it
looks like that's like a magical tree that was growing inside of the normal
tree I'm so glad that we painted it because you can see the gradient of that
teal to the white underneath and behind the crystals yeah also if it had of just
been wood that would have been very evident that it was just a layer
okay this is finally done
yeah now we're going to do another clear
coat of epoxy over the entire thing and somehow figure out the sides I don't
know if we know what we're doing there yet let's just
epoxy over the sides let it flow over it's not gonna flow over some of these sides go
kinda we'll paint it on we'll figure it out as we go
I am ready we are going to be using epoxy again the same epoxy that we used
for the initial pour and hopefully this will unify everything well the reason
we're using epoxy instead of varnish is cuz since it wasn't perfectly level the
last time some spots were a little low in some spots were a little
high so we're hoping the epoxy which is a little bit thicker will even it all out
all right let's go so funny you remember how like a few
seconds ago I was like oh I mixed up plenty I mixed up extra we're gonna be
totally fine that's it here I'm gonna spread it a little bit and you use the
heat gun okay
it's a thirsty cookie look at this crack right here just soaking it up
I can't look I'm on a mission oh my gosh remember when I was like we
should get the next bottle is it out
can you get this area over here
oh my gosh
it needs a bit more mix up more
alrighty well we were so intent on getting everything finalized
that our camera died but everything is looking really really nice
it's looking like
98% good it's really close there were a couple areas on the top where the wood
was a little extra thirsty and soaked in the epoxy so what we're gonna do is
actually cover those with varnish we could do epoxy but we don't really
wanted to do a whole another layer and cover up some of these natural places
where it's sunk into the bark inclusion and the cracks because we really like
that so we're gonna see if this works if doesn't work I guess I'll just cover it
with epoxy anyway but hopefully this will work and we're also gonna use the
varnish on the outside edges let's do it
all righty guys this is looking great after two coats of varnish we're just
gonna flip it over clean up the bottom and add the legs and then we drop it we no
which way are we flipping it this way
we need to make sure there's no goop on here
it's gonna be tropical themed
all right I just got to remove a little bit of tape
alrighty for the legs we wanted
something easier Lowe's hooked us up with some metal legs
that they're selling those look perfect gonna be really
hard to tell without like flipping it how does that look
those are upside down
well thank you guys for sticking with us through this whole video I know it was
pretty long so you get bonus points for things thanks for watching and we'll see
you guys next time bye all the way through the backside through to the backside
oh still recording dang it they record the first one like
it has to pee yeah
