Box with resin top

Pen pencil block. Semi transparent space between pencils is like 1,5mm I have problem because shims stuck between pencils and I need use thin knife to remove them.... It was painful job. Now those are cut to pen blanks... but I dont have circular saw so I use mitre saw ant some of block dont...

Its change from beads blanks to pen blanks.

Ant the adapter is ready... Nova chuck is ridiculous tiny.

New pencil block for pen turning. Also boxes... brown looks amazing.

I want made next pencil block for pen turning... but for mistake mix to much resin. So add some colors and made buttons my new mold... But still I have too much resin. So old boxes, those was for throwing out. So new project to made. 2 days later and resin is still too soft for sanding.

Haha me to... So now I know it's everywhere if you use lacquer to secure it... starts dissolving.

Trim on saw, sand, sand, sand.... polish...

Funny that you mention that. I have a idea to cast luminescence rods.... But need to made silicone mold for that.

Pressure pot change small(that wasn't escape) bubbles to dust particle in clear cast. But big ones will only shrink to small bubble. So if you don't prepare resin and cast properly you end with bubbles even if you use pressure pot.

I first de-gass resin using vacuum pump. For full remove bubbles its take hours and resin open/working time depend of type 10min to 60min. So its too slow. Also wood is full of air so during resin curing proses it will give away bubbles, when resin soaks inside wood.

Bigger = better I have cheap 10L pot inside dia 24cm x 20cm ... but fast found its too small. https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/threads/bubbles.128389/post-1440152

One of my first mistakes...

Repair and modify original banjo and made some toolrest's. Pipes with welded screw. Also my vacum pot made from old pot... its too big.

There should be no difference. You remove all hardware from cover. And install air intake and safe valve. https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/threads/bubbles.128389/post-1440152
