No problem Joe, there will be better and more expensive bits out there I'm sure,but these work for me,regards to the talking,my problem is slowing down so people can understand me..😂😂
Hi I have watched all your videos when I seen the last one I felt a bit sad thinking it was the last one on your shed but I hope u do more project s soon they are brilliant I got a router and the stuff that you have just waiting mill end bits coming care my friend all the best keep doing your magic project
What I like to use to spread the epoxy out with, is an old expired credit card or gift card. You can even use your Dremel to cut thin notches, to evenly spread the epoxy, very similar to a trowel. Very nice work on this project!!!!!
I've gone from 120 grit to 2000 before on other projects, to much like hard work,so clear resin works for me,I wasnt to sure how the water and wood together,how it would go.😁👍
So basically fill the routed out area with sand to the max,then empty the sand into a cup,mark of the level,tip out and fill to the level with resin..thats the way I see it,I surpose salt could also work..cool idea.

Hello I’ve finished my piece of art and have poured my clear resin over and dry patches have appeared when I know it was all fully covered . Just wondered if you knew what has caused this and how to rectify it . Thanks Alan
I've had this happen to me before, with me I simply hadn't put enough resin on,as resin cures it shrinks slightly so you get dry areas..or could be some oil or something on the wood,however if you had sanded it all first then I'm guessing it needs more resin you can lightly sand the top again and repour more resin over the whole piece..😁👍
Sorry to hear this Paul ,apart from sanding the whole piece down ,not sure if it would work ,or painting the wood not alot I can help you with, sorry 😐
Got to be my favourite, you make it look so easy! So you milling them to 3mm? been looking on eBay as you suggested for the CNC bits 15, 20 and 30 degree, which I have now ordered and the adapter. Just the milling bits, what do you recommend? There is a set for about £7.99 and has 1.1mm to 2mm milling bits, any good, are do they need to be wider?

Nice work!!! I had watched ur videos in the past, and they motivated me to try and do some router work. (So far just pyrography.) Can u let me know wish one are the second set of bits? The ones u used for cleaning.
Excellent work Sir. I've just come across your different projects, and I'm very interested in trying this. May I ask, How deep your initial router cuts are, and do you make 2 passes to get to the final depth, or do is your bit set to the final depth of the cut? (That question applies to your painted projects, and pouring in of epoxy as shown here,.....if different depths apply). Cheers for the help and Happy New Year.
Sorry for the delay in answering Robert, each project can vary in regards to depth of the routed out sections, but 3mm,the same thickness as a dremel bit seems to be a nice average 👍
@@fishtank5050 ok because my wood drinks the resine and even afer sanding i have trace of resine ( excuse my english) and i don't know what to do to make it deasaper
Brilliant !!! I've just started doing a few small projects myself. I'm actually going to the hobby store and buying stencils but they're pretty expensive. I was wondering how you get your prints that big. I've used the printer for words because you can change the font size and used your method with the carbon paper but I'm struggling to get the images big enough to fill the whole of the paper. Is there a particular web site you use to down load the images. Thanks and I really enjoy your work !!!
Thank you Darren for my larger projects I use an online site called rasterbator, you can go as big as you like .Once done I download it to my phone then send to my printer, it prints with margins or little marks so you can tape it all together, I do everything from my mobile phone.. rasterbator.net/
@@fishtank5050 Excellent. Thank you for getting back to me so quick. I'll give that a go. I'm like you, I like to use old pieces of scrap wood i Find lying around.

@@Toddypkc the dewalt 611 is popular, bosch are also good,but also expensive. I personally would start with a none branded palm router to see how you take to routing, I prefer something small to work with you can get plunge routers, but are a little to big for me..

another beautiful carving, with the resin, it came out great, with the purple, gave it character, it's the joker
Thank you Donny I appreciate the comment, I got lucky with the purple resin 👍

I don't remember where I have seen this but someone used sand to measure how much resin they would need.
