Nebo, due to your Project's appearance. A Barren planet lacking vegetation is dry and has little to no atmosphere the surface is Rocky with common features like mountains Canyons plateaus and craters.

Thanks buddy.. I cast it hot intentionally expecting thermo shatter in the resin. I would have liked more to be honest.

@@JackMackWoodturning Yeah, I agree, the thermal cracks really add interest. 👍

It’s a technique I’m planning to explore in much more detail 😊

I was going to ask what made the cracks but read the comments and learned something today why doesn't it do that more often

@@billhatcher2984 it only happens if there is too great a volume of resin and too much heat generated. I’m still experimenting with how to manipulate it to be honest.

The offcuts are in my burl bin.. many different things happen from the burl bin, you’ll have to keep watching to find out 😉😉

Have you considered using a solar powered lathe in order to save electricity?

Solar power doesn’t save electricity Chris. I think you might mean save using fossil fuels to produce electricity.

@@JackMackWoodturning No,I meant solar,a tongue in cheek response to becca*MHGH’s concern about wasting 8 inches of pvc pipe,good grief.

Truly one of the most suggestions ever.

Thank you. Did you like the finished piece ?

Thanks a lot Josh, very much appreciated buddy. What sort of stuff are you editing?

Me too Josh, way over here in South Africa

Art is out of the time!

why a waste?

A Waste was your comment

Thanks I seems like the only logical way to do it

Thanks S. Do you like the colour?

@@JackMackWoodturning yeah, it goes well with the wood, I think.

Yeah me too. I nearly went for orang but I’m glad I didn’t

Thanks H. That’s a mighty impressive beard, how long you been growing it?

@@JackMackWoodturning Actually I've been clean shaven for awhile now. I just like the picture where I looked monk like. And that took the better part of a year to grow. I used to do a lot of woodwork, including turning on a lathe, a lot of years ago. Although I'm recently forced into a wheelchair I hope that one day soon I will be able to turn again. Just need to set the lathe closer to the ground, or get a high chair. Your work is amazing and inspiring. I've already thought of several projects I want to work on now. Including a whole series of exoplanets. I've never worked with or turned epoxy. It looks very exciting to work with. I'm still going through a lot of your videos, I've gotten about half way through including a several hour binge today. I'm hoping to one day use my VA loan and get my own place. Since I can't drive anymore I will have a wood lathe, for sure, in the garage. Thanks for your videos. I might also try and pick your brains for tips on working with different materials.

Thank you for the lovely kind words Susan. So glad you enjoyed it.

What is the mold made from?

Are you suggesting I’m an alien? 👽

@@JackMackWoodturning Artists with this sensory system for art and products come from a higher spiritual path. You are brilliant in this field and keep it up.

Thanks B. Glad you are along for the journey 😊👍🏻

Thanks Monique. Glad you like this one 👍🏻

Thank you. So glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻

Thanks Patti. I think iv got a good idea of what viewers want to see but it’s always very useful to hear it first hand

A dragon egg perhaps?

What? Just kiddin!

Thanks for the kind words

Wow thanks for the very kind words Stacey

Thanks 😊

Thanks rite. What would you use this for ?

Thanks AH. Where are you watching from? Middle Earth?

🙂 Not too dissimilar - mountains of Western North Carolina.

Yeah.. can be different every day 👍🏻

Thanks Alex. That’s very kind of you 👍🏻

Thanks for the kind words m. This piece will be on sale on my website very soon Www.jackmacwoodturning.com

I know everyone will think this is bollocks but I did it intentionally.. like for real. I felt clear resin is over done and I wanted more Going on innit.. iv cracked many castings unintentionally mind you. 😆

@@JackMackWoodturning You've gone to a whole new level if you did that intentionally ... now even more impressed! Not done any epoxy stuff like this before, but can you generate extra heat by adding extra hardener?

I’m not sure about that.. but I know that if you fill 1.5lt of resin into the pressure pot and then sit the pressure pot in a very warm greenhouse the results are beautiful thermo shatter. In the video you do not see the filling of the cracks. After rough shaping the ball I took a syringe full of clear epoxy and filled the cracks that were visible.. once it start to leak from any of the cracks I covered the crack with thick CA and a quick blast with CA accelerator seals it over instantly.. left over night and you can’t see the openings where cracks run outside… PLUS.. you’ve just bonded the full structure back into one mass. This was my first shot at thermo shattered resin, it’s not going to be my last. 😊

@@JackMackWoodturning Which was my next question, did you full the cracks, because I then thought they'd disappear, but using clear against the tinted would stop that ... brilliant :)

There is no explanation… 🤔

@@JackMackWoodturning Wood type, resin mix ect, if you are dumb, don't make videos.

Thanks May, much appreciated. Did you like the colour?

@@JackMackWoodturning Yes, I did like the color.

I wasn’t sure. Think maybe blue next 😊👍🏻

Thanks V. Would you prefer it in blue?

How’s it going so far?

It’s so kind of you to ask. I’ve made a hollow form and put lights in it to take to my Son’s friend in France from the UK. At least he likes the photographs and we travel travel tomorrow. My current project is in two pieces to make into a box in the shape of a globe. I’ve mounted each piece on a base plate with the view of eventually plugging the holes with super glue coloured with pigment. I tried a glue block but it wasn’t successful attached to resin. But it takes me a week to do a days work and I don’t have a jig to make it round. Just as well I have the time 🌞

So glad you enjoyed it a learned something new. I’d be happy to pay to ship this piece for you if you wanted to buy it. Or offer you a special “Pamela” discount 😉 Will be on my website soon. Www.jackmackwoodturning.com Email me if your interested Jackmackwoodturning@gmail.com

Hahah.. yep, planet Mack. Where do you live? I publish at midday here.. but You get them first thing?

Great to know Florida wakes up as I publish. That’s awesome. I’m happy it makes you happy

Thanks buddy

Thank you 😊

Thanks R. You in Alaska?

Thank you

Cheers 😊👍🏻

Thanks K. Did you like the colour choice?

Thank you julee. Glad you like this one too 😊👍🏻

​@@JackMackWoodturning❤

UK OR US mr HipHop?

I believe that function of a piece is apparent and self evident once it insights such a conversation about the reason for its being. 😊

Are you a diver?

@JackMackWoodturning No. It just looks like one of those movies. I am curious and interested though. I'd like to learn wood burning... wood art in general. Any leads?

Nice! I hadn’t thought of it as amber. What would you call it with blue colouring?

@@JackMackWoodturning Dawn’s sky jewel.

@@JackMackWoodturning The Blue Saffire Eye of The Cosmos.

I would call it the cool wood, resin, and epoxy yellow ball.

​@@BarfyMan__362 same

Cool. Glad you like them. Feel free to ask any questions you like. Always happy to help 👍🏻

For me...no narration (yapping) is enjoyable.😊 Often times I mute videos and just absorb the 'show.' Thanks!👍

@@philmickey7247 , I agree with you. Narration takes away from the video.

Plus … who really cares about what I have to say.. non of you are here for a lesson 😆😆

@@JackMackWoodturning Guess I'm a 'show me' person. Thanks!👍

Thanks man. What sort of racing do you do?

Nice one P. What’s the weekend got in store for you?

Thanks man. Do you think it would be better in blue?

Thanks David. Very kind words

Thanks joe 😊

Thanks P. That would be fantastic! Did you like the colour?
