Lighter thinner pours + cooling time will not make the resin boil = no bubbles :) Then finish off with a torch to pop the small surface bubbles. Also try tyvex tape over your resin casing box, it will pop right off without the resin sticking. Love the video tho!
Although if you are doing multiple layers, add the next layer once the resin hits a gel phase or wait for it to harden and scratch up the surface with sandpaper. Sorry if you already know this and it looks like I’m trying to be a jerk.
nicely done, i've seen a bunch of others but a common flaw most lamps have that this one doesn't have is that they put the led's inside the epoxy so once the led string stops working it ruins the look of the lamp or what ever in question. with your's you can replace the bulb still making it a much better and more practical design.
This is the first time I've seen your videos. It's a nice lamp. However just from watching you one time I can already tell you can do better. Went so good until one single light at the bottom that doesn't illuminate all the beautiful work throughout the art. Single RGB LEDs waterproofed through the lamp from behind frosted epoxy top to bottom would've made it stand out more. Never the less, good job.
Sean Smith thanks man! I wasn’t fully satisfied when I inserted the light from the button. My second thought was just as yours, that some sort of lightning though out the whole piece should be added.
That was a lot of work. It was educational to see what all went into it. A good outcome and I cannot say I could have done better. I would only suggest that you reduce the amount of wood so that more light can come through in the future.
I liked seeing that come together, beautiful lamp and picking up common sense tips I didn't think of like tracing where the screws go hahaha, enjoyed watching your meticulous work. Thank you
1:56 It would be more beautiful without too much foam. You should put a thin layer of epoxy on the wood surface before pouring the glue to avoid unnecessary bubbles
Interesting. Seems like you would get better lighting with a LED strip through the whole thing though. Inspiring though, want to try this with a larger piece.
I agree and I'm sure in retrospect he feels the same. If you noticed the amount of "extra" work he put in, then you should also be familiar with the myriad of extra steps we ALWAYS take when realizing our vision for the first time. If he makes another similar lamp then each one he makes he will shave time and reduce the steps for completion. Essentially your an asshole go fuck yourself you negative Nancy. ;-)
Love this type of work. Curious if you have given any thought of using a wax then a pva film on your molds like they would with fiberglass? It was just a thought don't know if would work the same way
Oh to have the gear, and the excellent skills and knowledge/experience to know what and how to do stuff like this, with such clever tools. I’m very impressed and in wonder. Great skills on show.
DujiN I am glad you’ve liked it. Well I am not aiming to mass production. It would almost be impossible from my perspective because the wood piece dictates the size and form of the product. Every creation gets full custom processes during the build. And that’s what makes it so fun, because every time I start with fresh mind and let the piece decide.
Looks great. May I suggest you pour the resin in stages, or did you want the heat for the cracked ice effect ? Would have looked great clear, all that wood would look great and the light would have gone all the way through.
TheAsylum100 thanks for the insight and the tips. I guess I’ll have to try it out;) but in this case, the client wanted this cracked and bubbly effect. Otherwise I use prolonged setting time epoxy.
shootinblanks007 thanks! There’s nothing much to learn about wiring. There’s just two wires a switch and a light bulb. Anyhow TH-cam is perfect for any kind of tutorial search.

@resin timber: Why mail the sheets instead of using screws? When you use screws you have less friction when taking the sheets off. ( when unscrewing first off course)
Maybe over engineered a bit? Huge project for a very unimpressive “lamp”. Simplify your process and work to achieve a better outcome. Very nice concept. I think improve on it and it’s solid. Good effort
David Mathews II thanks man. I already improved a bit after this build and will be making another version of this type of lamp without over engineered parts. Thanks a lot for insights.
Nice work!!!👍👍 these lamp are crazy viral 😁😁😁
Thanks! Yeah, I agree:D
Fantastic idea,👌👍love it!! thanks for sharing
you are a master
Divide by Zero some day maybe
Good job 👍
Ibel Art thanks

Thanks man! At least somebody is paying attention to the practical design solutions. Cheers!!
Very very Cool!!!
Shaun Morin thank you!!
With this setup, I can create another universe!!!!
sourabh altekar i was thinking the same thing!!
People dont realise the work this takes like in the comments 🤦♂️ brilliant work my friend 👌👌
johnnboy1000 🙏 thanks
dude's a pro. got tools for every single thing!
Excellent attention to detail. Love the wood and concrete combo.
BasedShark thank you!! I am also in love with concrete and wood duo
Very nice! That looks like a lot of work!
Thanks, there was some love poured into the process:DD
Fantastic result. Well done and thanks for sharing.
Steve Forrester thanks man!
Nice!

dude, that video rocked
Well Suresir thanks
Very nice work!!!
Came for the video, stayed for the music. Nice tunes
Awesome design.
even a simple box is cool and well made ..
josie thomson thanks 🙏
That was a lot of work. It was educational to see what all went into it. A good outcome and I cannot say I could have done better. I would only suggest that you reduce the amount of wood so that more light can come through in the future.
Thank you!! I will definitely increase resin to wood ratio in the future projects
A lot of hate in the comments. I think it came out nice.
Ian Thomas thanks for support;)

thanks for the wonderful comment
Nice tunes...
Just perfect project 👏👏👏
Make Stuff with Little Devil thanks

Amazing Art thanks for a tip
cant trust a guy with trousers this clean
Great video
WOW, Very talented and amazing lamps
thank you!!
Beautiful. I like it.
前田日明 thanks!
super impressive work. Love the cement base. Never seen that before.
Guido Bonelli 🙏 thanks
Watched the whole thing. Should consider adding captions on videos like this. A lot of times I couldn’t follow what you were doing from visuals alone.
Jeremy Broussard indeed. Thanks for the suggestion.
Amazing !
Good job
Very good!!!
Excellent craftsmanship
Amazing talent
G Moore thanks!
Well shit, I came here for a simple idea, not a full time job. It looks amazing I'll give you that, it's just way above my skill set or tool arsenal
Hahahaha yes and waaaaaaaay to long.
Interesting. Seems like you would get better lighting with a LED strip through the whole thing though. Inspiring though, want to try this with a larger piece.
ted rebel thanks, I should definitely try it with LED strip.
Made that 100x more work than it need to be...

THE HURTS 🤣 You’re the internet vigilante everyone needs.
Austin Brown labor of love my friend
exactly
Yes it can be done with less work, but the details and finish of this piece is amazing and complex against a simple version of this.
Looks great. Thanks for showing
Sascha LB thanks
Beautiful results. My Grandsons would love that. 👍👍
LOVE the music! Video was too fast for me (I’m old lol), so I just listened until you were finished. Beautiful piece!
Connie Buchwald one of the warmest comments! Thanks a lot
I liked the music as well. Does anyone know the songs and artists?
Hope you keep your fingers. Free handing a log, no push stick ,reaching to remove wood from spinning blade etc. Get a SawStop .
It won't matter if he can't see anything, because he didn't wear safety glasses either.
WOW that is the best built I have seen for a long time, thank you for sharing your work.
Ted Bat thanks!!!! Will be more:D
Great music choice, used a lot of extra wood though. Neat project
Jack Smith thanks
Many dislikes from some sad ppl. Good work. Ignore these crybabies.
Made me giggle:DD Thanks!!!
MUY BUEN TRABAJO
respect, for the effort that went into that product.
Thats exactly whag i said as well. Its amazing
Hi, can I use part of your video to my compilation of the most interesting woodworking projects ?
Great work! I love the sheer perfection and the details. Looks awesome!
Marcin Lendzion thank you!!!
Maybe drill a cavity throughout the center of the piece to get better light penetration
that's an idea worth considering. thanks!
Hard work, lots of steps and great piece!
Love this type of work. Curious if you have given any thought of using a wax then a pva film on your molds like they would with fiberglass? It was just a thought don't know if would work the same way
Nicholas Peter thanks man.
Oh to have the gear, and the excellent skills and knowledge/experience to know what and how to do stuff like this, with such clever tools. I’m very impressed and in wonder. Great skills on show.
Thats exactly whag i said as well. Its amazing
Drill a deep hole from the bottom, and place an led strip inside instead. Would work much better as a lamp i think.
Koala - Not a Threat thanks for an idea;)
@@Chiselsplay No problem :) Very nice work you do.
Amazing! inspiration
Marco Arque thanks man
BOOM....look't dat...is so easy !!!
Love it, but commercially it seems insanely expensive. Beautiful work regardless!
DujiN I am glad you’ve liked it. Well I am not aiming to mass production. It would almost be impossible from my perspective because the wood piece dictates the size and form of the product. Every creation gets full custom processes during the build. And that’s what makes it so fun, because every time I start with fresh mind and let the piece decide.
Ton of work for one lamp, but awesome outcome! Also impressive editing and filming 👌🏼
Mason Hoza I am still improving the process. And sincerely thank you!

Dude rolls with Big Rock Johnson there. No saw guard, no face protection, no planer projects, no respirator .. #1920 when men were men.
WOW!! That's amazing. I can't imagine how much that cost with so much work
Nice BTC sign
Very creative 👌💯 💕
when it looks like a lot of work here, then its a ton of work in reality.
I bet it took him at least 3-5 days
Great result. But for someone who needs their hands, 0:23 is awfully risky! 😳🖐
The Never Ending project
Excellent job man!! B-)
Call me old fashioned i like my lights to illuminate things .
Great soundttack
To all woodworkers, I appreciate your skills, but do you ever plant a tree with the same regard as you happily cut/sand/chop them?
wow
Nope..... never. But chopping em down sure is satisfying!
Has to be the dumbest comment ever.
Martin Richied you haven’t been on youtube very long, have you? this is rookie level ignorance!!!!
Worry about cleaning up your third world shit hole instead.
Do the fumes get you off your box ?
Looks great. May I suggest you pour the resin in stages, or did you want the heat for the cracked ice effect ? Would have looked great clear, all that wood would look great and the light would have gone all the way through.
TheAsylum100 thanks for the insight and the tips. I guess I’ll have to try it out;) but in this case, the client wanted this cracked and bubbly effect. Otherwise I use prolonged setting time epoxy.
Great vid!!! Any suggestions for learning to wire a project like this??
shootinblanks007 thanks! There’s nothing much to learn about wiring. There’s just two wires a switch and a light bulb. Anyhow TH-cam is perfect for any kind of tutorial search.
Aw shit I guess this is going to be Do it with Dan next project
ziauriai per dauga darbo idejai :) Saunios dirbtuveles, potencialas didelis :) Tik kad gal reikejo padaryti maza testa paziuert kaip sviecia, atrodo kiek nepraktiska :(
Aleksandras Borovskis ačiū už nuomonę. Gal kiek daugiau šviesos ir man norėjosi. Pasitempsiu ateities projektuose:)
bravo !!!!
Fantastic!!! And really well filmed and edited too.Top work fella.😁👍
thanks a lot!
What did you spray on the wood/resin after you sanded it, to make it transparent again? Great attention to detail. Good job.
Real Detective51 🙏 thanks. It’s just a smooth finish lacquer. Nothing too crazy about it:D
Красиво получилось )
@resin timber: Why mail the sheets instead of using screws? When you use screws you have less friction when taking the sheets off. ( when unscrewing first off course)
Peter van de Meent I totally agreed with that. It’s just faster with nails. If I would use screws I would have to predrill every screw hole.
Pro!
Way Cool, Mate! Congrats!! Lots of work, though! How much would you consider selling such Custom-Made and Unique lamp ?
you did a great job, you spend more time to make the finish. I said its luxurious finished product. superb man, keep it up.
thanks a lot!
Absolutely beautiful!! :D - Heidi
Your telling me led lights haven’t made it to some parts of the world?
Coltiviamo la stessa passione per la resina io pero ho poca esperienza

Absolutely awesome
Hi, awesome job and result ! What kind of resin do you use ?
Thanks! ELANTAS EC141 was my resin of choice
Did you intentionally leave the Apoxsee cloudy? Or is that just the way it cures?
This was done intentionally. Technically epoxy should cure clear
Did I see „Atlas”? :D słooodko..
GORGEOUS - love it. thanks for posting. If there is a chip or scratch, what brand is best for reshine? thx
handworked local art
Nice pice the only thing is I kept asking myself what the heck is he doing then I told myself to shut the hell up in watch and I'm glad I did
Is no one going to talk about the super sketchy use of the table saw at the beginning of the video?
What're you talking about? My buddy Bob "Three Fingers" McGee does that all the time.
Too much work 4 that project
yes;but upcycling maybe good idea:good things take time he
Do you really need to spend your energy being a hater? Some projects are made for the sake of making them. Go make something.
Agreed lol but came out very nice.
I think this it TOTALLY badass! What kind of epoxy is used tho?
Jeff Ammons I’ve used Elantas resin from my local distributor I think it’s an Italian brand.
So it was a long time for a little lumi. Hehehe
I always try to watch the whole process, but i end up skipping it to the last minute....🤷🏻🤷🏻😂
