Jim! I GOT TIRED JUST WATCHING! Seriously, I got tired FOR you. Man, that was a lot of work but the results are spectacular! Those fishtail boards are stunning! The hypershift in the black resin is beyond words. The pinkish red tones are especially beautiful! I'm with you, I like things that spin! I can watch you do the flat work but I'd turn into a madman if I tried it! It was a fun video and someone got themselves some really nice pieces of art! Well done!
Wow! You really put your creativity to the test here. The boards are incredible. I love your “stick to it “ attitude, you really achieved some amazing looks in these pieces. Great work Jim!
Hi Jim, this may have already been posted, but making a template for the inside of your mold might be as easy as a layer of fiberglass cloth saturated with resin while it is in the mold. Pop it out, once it is cured!
Those really are a lot of work. Thank you for showing us how you do it. It's good to know what you're getting into. That silicone mold really worked well.
They are gorgeous. Another possibility for getting rid of the bubbles is a long neck lighter. A torch or alcohol can shorten the life span of the mold. As well if the flame from the torch gets too close to the mold, it can glue the mold to the resin
The Six Million Dollar Serving Board! "We can rebuild it. We have the technology. We can make it better than it was. Better, stronger, prettier!". And a new coffee mug concept to go with your breakfast rolls: 'I like to do things that go round!" After more than a thousand comments, I'm sure folks liked the fish tail serving boards the most - they looked easier to do and those hypershift colors were fantastic! Thanks for these, Jim!
Even if they're not your favourite things to make, the boards look awesome, and the convection patterns, especially on the fishtail boards, are really enhanced by the hypershift pigment!
While realizing they're not your favorite type of art, all of the boards look fantastic with those colors and woods. Please keep supplying us with your passions of combining woods and designer epoxy.
❤ the colors and hypershift are outstanding! Really appreciate knowing just how much it takes to make these boards. I see the value in the silicone molds, very educational. Thanks again Jim
Really nice work Jim. Worth the effort. Made a number of river style charcuterie boards, and never used an epoxy top coat or finish. Finish sand to 1000 and then apply a butcher board wax. Rightly or wrongly.
Changing things up every now and again is good for the soul. It also shows us the breadth of your creative skills. That black pearl board is just so cool! And yes, silicone is a game changer, no matter what medium you're working with. Fun stuff, Jim! Thanks for giving us some different flavor :)
And people wonder why boards like these are so expensive! 😆 What a ton of work. They're very beautiful though. I love the Everest green, hope it makes another appearance soon!
Wow,Wow,Wow! I love that light green serving board! As my mom always said, do it as I told you, not as I do it 😂 they are beautiful,Jim! My husband does cutting boards. You're right they are a lot of work. He makes his own wax also, same recipe as yours. Im pretty sure. Bee's wax and mineral oil. He doesn't have fancy cans though,😅😅 he doesn't sell it.
So So many steps, Jim, but what a happy ending!! That hyper shift is awesome. I learned a lot about making serving boards and thanks for showing us all the steps in detail. Other you tube videos seem to cut out a lot of the steps. designer epoxy
@@SpragueWoodturningyeah you definitely put the time and hard work in on these! Turned out beautifully and well worth it imo, bc I'm not doing the work of course. And now you know what to do and what not to do if you ever do it again. Someone might drop alot of money in your lap for one and you can't refuse!
The resin is outstanding, love the black one. Just great works of art that's usable. Thanks for all your hard work and sharing it with all of us.🌿 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hi 👋, Jim , I hope you are keeping safe and well, I’ve only just started watching I thought I better say before I forget, if you put your mould down onto the board and draw around the outside of it, that’s the mould that is, then measure the thickness of the wall of the mould and then reduce the drawing that you’ve done around the outside of the mould by the thickness that should give you a pretty good size piece of board to go inside the mould, it should work he might have to titivate it about a little bit 😂,
You could trace the outside of the mold and cut out the template then use a divider/compass with a pencil set to the width of the side of the mold then trace it around the template to get the inside dimension. Then trim it off on the band saw. The other idea is to pour a half inch thick board made from Designer Epoxy resin and use it as a template.
Designer Epoxy Funny I started a few boards a week ago, went on a holiday vacation up to Canada from Cali seen you uploaded this conveniently and answered the burning questions in the back of my mind 😂
Just found your channel about 2 months ago. I absolutely got hooked instantly! This is my first time commenting. My dad was a wood worker, welder, and loved fishing/hunting when it came to his hobbies. I learned alot from my father when it comes to shop and outdoors. We lost him 4 years ago to an aggressive brain cancer that took him in a fast 6 months! Not a day goes by where I don't think about what ive lost and cant get back. This video just made me think of him so much. The black fish board was practically made for him and I. First off a fish are favorite past time both fishing and fish keeping. Bright green my favorite color with black. Purple my father's favorite color over black. He always said dont be the type of man who says you can't love purple or pinks. I wish one day to have or create such a beautiful piece of art to remember my father. I would hang that on my wall with his name and years carved in it. Sorry for such a heavy message as my first post, but thank you for this sir. I was smiling the entire video and felt like I was watching it with my dad over my shoulders. Thank you 100% subscriber for life!
Wow, thank you so much! Sorry for your loss, he sounded like a guy I could of had a few drinks with and talk about woodworkings and tools! Thanks again!
Every Friday I think to myself, I wonder what Jim’s up to today? Serving boards! The green is by far my favorite…looks like someone just jumped into a lagoon. Gorgeous!
Those pieces are truly a work of art. I love that you are always teaching. I love that even when things go wrong, you use it to teach and you show how to make it work. I’m impressed with the whole process. Way to go.
Can’t say these serving trays bring out your artistic skills anyway near your round work. However, the tray you did for your wife was the most artistic. The contrast between the very dark epoxy & the lighter wood with the dark veins was almost like a picture. Somehow reminded me of a forest at night, but that’s my brain!
I am in awe of your talent you really know your craft. Love,love,love the green suppose to be black fish board. That hyper shift is some amazing stuff.
Hi Jim it's Dale again one thing to consider when you're casting is a Silicone mold Will keep it's shape up to over 500°F were as PPE Will warp about 120°F 😮 I know this because I left one of my Table Saw Jigs out side in the Sun and guess what 😮 you guessed it. It warped! I put Silicone molds in my oven and bake them at some were between 300°F and 425°F and use them over and over Thank you and PLEASE Keep turning I love your you tube Channel I am just learning to Turn but I love it!
Someone is addicted to hypershift, lol. I like your sanding table, gives me an idea. Great job on the boards, even after the cheap mold gave so many issues. Way to go Jim. Designer epoxy
Another great video. Very nice, I love the Hyper shift and the blue laguna. The silicone mold from Designer Epoxy is great, but I do not like the very narrow guitar shape at the top. The colors are all great. The videos are never to long. Many thanks.
Jim, Awesome job! I was trying very hard to tell you not too put the swirls in and I know my mouth fell open when you did it! BOY WAS I WRONG!!! I'm jealous of whomever got the green fish! Great call on your idea!
your flat work is very good. The turning work is much better, you also seem much more at ease and creative with the lathe work. I absolutely enjoy watching a craft maker who loves his crafting as much as you do. Thanks for the chance to watch and learn from you.
Ok. First of all I am sorry my comment is so late. Was a little under the weather and nodded off during the premier. I am sad that those are spoken for. Beautiful work as always. Like you I love the hyper shift. It just adds something special. I find that one of the frustrations and joys of being a maker is when things don't go as planned. Having to make corrections drives you crazy. But there is a certain satisfaction in seeing the finished project turn out well. And you Learn something to boot. Excellent and wonderful creations.
Yes they were a lot of work but they turned out great and it tells us you are dedicated to doing a great job and making them look the best you can. Thanks Jim
I started watching you a couple months ago. Just learning to turn wood after using resin for molds and tumblers for quite a while. I love the beauty in spalted and what others would call ugly or rotten wood. I ordered some designer epoxy and turned a spalted branch then cut it about 6 inch lengths (3 pcs) and cast it using my vacuum chamber and cold method. I just got some carbide tools today and hopefully will try to use them a bit tomorrow on some old stuff. You inspire me. You are doing the things I have been dreaming about! Love the polka dot bowl!!!
Hi Jim Beautiful boards! Although they were challenging for you especially for the ones you put handles on, your excellent precison attitude to getting right is commendable! Like anything which is new or one doesn't do often, one is slower -practice makes perfect, as the saying goes. I know they spoken for but if I owned them I would never use them just display them
... regarding the template, now that you have made one board with resin you could used that one as a template. Also just a suggestion, your mindset is off a bit, as the main focus of Exposy Resin firm mounds are to add resin -a liquid (not wood & resin) so their clients would just add liquid resin to the mold which would flow to the shape of the mold therefore no template needed. However the company should have a template for making the mold -ask them for a copy of their template. Yes I hear alcohol does put a like-petrol stain on resin, but one lady I watch she quickly & sparingly spray alcohol on the mold before any resin is added. Therefore surface tension is broken not trapping any bubbles. By the time she pours the resin the 100% alcohol has evapiuraed. Hope that helps
I've only seen & heard the other lady say the alcohol -I've not done it. It also is the bottom of the thing she is making & with the hypershift it is not noticed.
Also I was sent a request from someone whose address looked the same as yours, to "buy a big thanks from" you with quick responses to select the of money to send to you for a "big thanks". I ignored it. Just letting you know. Please delete this message off your TH-cam
Pour a clear epoxy 1/2 deep is what some are saying is the easiest to make a template, then you have a router template as well. I was under the impression they were spraying the alcohol on the top surface to pop the bubbles. In the future, if you see one of these fraudulent messages, click the three dots to the right and repot it as spam. It would be a nightmare to try to go through my video library to report all these spam accounts. Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!
@@SpragueWoodturning Hi Jim I hear the speaking on the top of your resin does pop bubbles but it often leaves a petrol-in-water-type mark. But quickly spraying the mold before putting in the resin breaks the mold-surface-tension & bubbles don't stick to the bottom but float to the top which is then taken care of with heat-gun as normal. That's what a lady who makes ornaments out of resin (eg animals where the details like faces & ears would be affected by any bubbles -she seems to do before she mixes up the resin. In your case anyway, as you alway sand the bottom you would loose any discoloured resin. Plus with hypershilf you would not see it, I believe. For me, your integrity comes through in your videos so I know it wasn't you. It was a separate notification to this one. The person must be pretty thick if he/she thinks he/she can get money (out of me at least) for me to receive a "big thanks" by paying money. But it looks so so like your site -that's why I was telling you. I closed down everything & restarted it & it wasn't there. I will report it as spam next time. Thanks. Have a good rest if your week

Don't understand why this is called craft instead of art. But can hear your heart and how much you love your work!
Thanks again!
I don’t feel bad missing my chance at a serving tray; your bride waited a year. Merry Christmas to the recipients 🤗
Lol. Thank you very much!
All boards are cool & magnificent, the blue lagoona & the green looks like flowing water or ocean.
Why don't you make a template out of resin?
Jim, sometimes you are just too hard on yourself. What is a big mistake/flaw to you is a beautiful piece to us 😊🥰
Wow, thank you

I was in too deep, lol. Thanks
Many times when I’m done, I say , well that took longer than I thought; I knew I wasn’t alone. The boards look great, thanks for sharing the process.
I e said that a time or too as well, lol. Thanks
Very cool. You don’t have to apologize for the length of your videos. I’d watch no matter the length.
I appreciate that! Thanks
I really love how the hypershift highlights the convection cells and flow patterns in the fluids. Great video as always, Jim!
Thank you very much!
Deep purple and high speed hammering, 2 of my favourite things in 1 video! Nice change up video Jim.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Those dark, deep colors are beautiful. Love to watch the flat work occasionally. Maybe a bowl to match that dark green…😉
The dark green is a hit. Thanks

Thank you very much!
Jim, you have made me swap from Superclear to Designer Epoxy. Beautiful boards!
Great to hear! Thanks!
Wow. That is a lot of effort. Thanks for including the entire process. Beautiful boards! Designer epoxy.
Thank you very much!
They’re gorgeous boards, the colors are beautiful. Lot of work yet it shows your skills you have in your trade. Excellent 👍❤️
Thank you very much!
I look forward to your projects each week. The serving trays look great, but they do look like they take a lot of time to make. Designer Epoxy.

The hypetshift is quite hypnotic, couldn't see all the colours until the very end😂. Thanks again Jim
My pleasure! Thanks
Good morning. Your boards are beautiful. I would use the trays as wall art.
Most probably would. Thanks
Great work. Especially love the black with hypershift board. Designer Epoxy
Thank you very much!

Doing a pour is the best idea. Thanks
Those fishtail boards look like ceremonial shields for some tribe from a fantasy film. I adore these pieces.
It does! Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!
Awesome boards! Hyper-Shift takes these beautiful colors to the next level! 💚💜
I think so too! Thanks
Well they say , change is as good as a rest. The boards are looking super nice and gotta love Designer Epoxy. It's the best that I found and use.
Totally agree! Thanks

😊 Great video! Thanks for showing us how to remedy troublesome problems.
Happy to help! Thanks
Drill some holes in those two bread boards and you have a couple of old school paddles🤣😂🤣
I had the exact same thought! 😂
Not a bad idea, lol. Thanks
Since I seen you on TH-cam for the first time I've really got into watching woodturning I can't believe how beautiful they.
Welcome aboard! Thank you very much!
Love your work the fish board are very pretty and the trays are very beautiful too
Glad you like them! Thanks
These are beautiful Jim! ❤
Thanks Molly!
Lindíssimo. 🙌🏻🌟✨🇧🇷
Thank you very much!
Your boards are beautiful...thanks for sharing!!
Glad you like them! Thanks
Black fishtail and dark blue square are my favorites….was wondering about feet, glad you addressed that…nice work Jim…
Still haven’t found them, lol. Thanks
The black with hyper shift and designer epoxy is the one I liked best, but they are all vibrant and colourful pieces of art Jim.
Thank you very much!
what an amazing end product. Love them.

Nice boards. The hypershift definitely adds complexity to the epoxy.
Thank you very much!

Also that wax made the hyper shift come alive like tiny little sparks of light
Thank you very much!
The black, green, and purple one is Brilliant!
Thank you so much!
Hi Jim it's Dale again one thing to consider when you're casting is a Silicone mold Will keep it's shape up to over 500°F were as PPE Will warp about 120°F 😮
I know this because I left one of my Table Saw Jigs out side in the Sun and guess what 😮 you guessed it. It warped!
I put Silicone molds in my oven and bake them at some were between 300°F and 425°F and use them over and over
Thank you and PLEASE Keep turning I love your you tube Channel
I am just learning to Turn but I love it!

Cool, thanks!
The hyper shift in the black pearl is absolutely stunning. Awesome video and craftsmanship as always. Designer Epoxy
Thank you very much!
Whew! I see why these are a labor of love, so much work goes into them! They are beautiful!
Thank you so much!
Lovely work. As for making a template....maybe you could use your first cast to mark one out.
Yes, that certainly an option. Others have said to just pour a 1/2” deep clear piece, then you have a router template as well. Thanks
I have all the supplies to make my own boards but have been putting it off. It was so nice to see someone I follow make some 😊
You can do it! Thank you very much!
I love the black one. It reminds me of the iridescence you can find in a black bird feather sometimes. Gorgeous.
Yes, it does have that vibe. Thanks
Another great video. Very nice, I love the Hyper shift and the blue laguna. The silicone mold from Designer Epoxy is great, but I do not like the very narrow guitar shape at the top. The colors are all great. The videos are never to long. Many thanks.

That purple is to-die-for!
Agreed! Thank you so much!
Silicone molds are the best. These look amazing. Nice to see that peoe see what actually goes into making these. Justifies cost for sure. Great job
Thank you very much!
That hypershift is so unreal! Love it. Designer epoxy.
It really is! Thank you very much!
Beautiful as always, and I can't blame you for not wanting to do more flat work that was a lot of work.

Yes I hear alcohol does put a like-petrol stain on resin, but one lady I watch she quickly & sparingly spray alcohol on the mold before any resin is added. Therefore surface tension is broken not trapping any bubbles. By the time she pours the resin the 100% alcohol has evapiuraed. Hope that helps
I've only seen & heard the other lady say the alcohol -I've not done it. It also is the bottom of the thing she is making & with the hypershift it is not noticed.
Also I was sent a request from someone whose address looked the same as yours, to "buy a big thanks from" you with quick responses to select the of money to send to you for a "big thanks". I ignored it. Just letting you know. Please delete this message off your TH-cam
Pour a clear epoxy 1/2 deep is what some are saying is the easiest to make a template, then you have a router template as well. I was under the impression they were spraying the alcohol on the top surface to pop the bubbles. In the future, if you see one of these fraudulent messages, click the three dots to the right and repot it as spam. It would be a nightmare to try to go through my video library to report all these spam accounts. Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!

Hi Jim
I hear the speaking on the top of your resin does pop bubbles but it often leaves a petrol-in-water-type mark. But quickly spraying the mold before putting in the resin breaks the mold-surface-tension & bubbles don't stick to the bottom but float to the top which is then taken care of with heat-gun as normal. That's what a lady who makes ornaments out of resin (eg animals where the details like faces & ears would be affected by any bubbles -she seems to do before she mixes up the resin. In your case anyway, as you alway sand the bottom you would loose any discoloured resin. Plus with hypershilf you would not see it, I believe.
For me, your integrity comes through in your videos so I know it wasn't you. It was a separate notification to this one. The person must be pretty thick if he/she thinks he/she can get money (out of me at least) for me to receive a "big thanks" by paying money. But it looks so so like your site -that's why I was telling you. I closed down everything & restarted it & it wasn't there. I will report it as spam next time. Thanks. Have a good rest if your week
