Junk experiment

[Adam Pinson]

Doodads and plastic cr@p from the local Asian bazar all glued together, let's see what occurs......

Check your insurance before stepping in line with that.

I think he maybe planning to encase it in resin

I mixed a little resin with wood shavings and slapped it on, looking a bit odd right now....

Perfectly safe if you don't switch the lathe on

Come on, Adam, you're such a tease!

Postponed due to bad weather, i can only work outside due to lack of dust extraction, you'll have to listen to the cheesy elevator music a while longer, sorry

OK.... not quite what i was expecting, but it gives me a few ideas for future projects, i think the most difficult part was hollowing due to all the random inclusions, some quite severe, that's why it ended up as a flowerpot instead of a lidded box i had envisioned, overall not too bad though......

Interesting piece!

 

[Adam Pinson]

Interesting piece!

Cheers Greg, it's ok for a prototype.....

That's really rather good considering what you started with, certainly interesting.

Cheers Fergie, it has potential, i'm enjoying hunting down materials that will both look interesting and save money by taking up Epoxy 'space'.... i'm liking the cheap transparent plastic doodads available at the Asian bazaar, coloured napkins are a winner too.....

Looks like fun, like the fact that you really have no idea what it's going to look like until you cut into it, brilliant !
