- The "Crystal Cave" Vase, was inspired by the Crystal Cave in Mexico that was recently discovered with care sized crystals and amazing formations. The vase was made with cracked blue resin, mounted on a cherry wood vase and set with clear resin.
I basically spend my free time dreaming up ways to express my artistic side and simultanously to raise money for Operation Underground Railroad. O.U.R. funds, supports, trains and guides rescue missions for children who are in sex trafficking slavery and free them to better lives with their amazing after care program. We cannot support O.U.R. enough. (OURRESCUE.ORG)

Love your work and the motivation behind it .
Get some cheap plastic buckets, cut the bottom of, make a lateral cut and you have already a peace of plastic in a round form malleable in a tampered form put that form on a peace of perspex, plastic and seal it of with silicone caulk

invest in a release agent for the foam used in the mold
Good idea....
is there any way you can re-post this without all the talking? i love just hearing the natural sounds of the tooling and the machine. The talking detracts from the overall video and enjoyment.
Thank you for the feedback!

If you hand mix your resin and then drop it in the vacuum chamber... fewer bubbles... also dusting it with a torch also helps pop em
We are so amazed at the ability and vision you have. Your patience is amazing! We enjoy watching your videos and now that I found your TH-cam page I'm going to watch more often. I pray that the fundraising goes well and the work that is being done will continue and someday it won't have to be. Prayers for the best for you and your family keep up the good work doc!
Thank you so much Patricia! Much appreciated.

38 Thousand views and only 360.00 raised to fight CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING? Really? This low dollar donation number smacks of people who want something done. Want SOMEBODY to do something, so long as THEY don't have to do anything. What a sad testament of today's American Society.
It's definitely a conundrum....
How did I happen on ur channel? Idk. lol But wowza. Amazing work. Love this!!! So I started reading ur bio. I've been fighting child sex trafficking for yrs. Must be God bringing his earthly warriors together.
Thank you! I'm grateful for your support!

This is an amazing piece, very beautiful and a great idea. I am familiar with this cave in Mexico, have read several articles about it. Cherry makes really beautiful vases.
Thank you very much! www.artgivinghope.org/currentauctions
Vases! I collect vases not races! I am although racist when it comes to your beautiful blue vases....🙄🤣😂🤪 ... All kidding aside, I really must have one!
Ha ha! They would be awesome! Here's my latest: www.artforour.org/our/p/troubled-feathers-vase-13-in-tall-x-11-in-wide-macaw-feathers-in-cracked-and-bubbled-resin-mounted-in-birch-wood
Красивое решение.Технология не совсем отработана.И такая быстрая съемка не приносит радости.🤷♀️Начинаешь нервничать.
Thank you for the feedback
What a "moving" project!
First, it moves me because of the shapes of blue resin shards. The blue and browns look very, very nice together. The seafoam blue green again the chocolate brown which is a fashion fad these days, makes me want to vomit! These colors are amazing!!! The next movement is the shards really impress me, similar to the quartz cave in Mexico. The shape of the bowl/vase is ideal for all sorts of purposes in the home. The clear resin seems to provide a window into that quartz cave. The light you have shining on the project is that single item which showcases all of your work!
For your next project, do something similar, but larger and with FISH, goldfish. The orange of the fish and the blue/violet of this piece would really go great together!
Thank you!

hi. I have a question sir. is a 1000W machine is enough for epoxy-woodturning? or a more powerful one is needed?
thank you
I'm not sure about that.... mine is 1.5 horsepower . My beginner was 1/3rd HP and I destroyed it. Sometimes I wish mine was 2 or 3 HP...
My current specs: Electrical: 1.5HP, 110 Volt, 60 hz
Motor: Induction, 1725 RPM, TEFC
VFD: Delta S1 Variable Frequency DriveRecommended Breaker: 15 Amp
Watching you video with my 5yo son then you started talking about child sex trafficking.. the questions I'm going to get now.
It's unfortunate I can't just sit back and just make art! There are too many kids that need our help in this world...
Even though you think a silicone mold might be a waste I don’t think smooth on has a lot of products that are inexpensive you make the general size mold you want it to be you put your project into that silicon mold draw your vacuum after pouring the resin in and even if it isn’t 100% perfect you’re gonna turn it anyway you’ll waste less material your existing process looks a bit time-consuming if you made standard molds of standard size projects whatever that may be just a thought great videos great cause . Are use a 5 gallon pressure pot for spray painting I reverse the plumbing so it’s drawing a vacuum just holds bigger projects you can’t see it foam up but you just do it about as many times as you remember doing it with The side glass thanks again.
Thanks a Mike! I appreciate the advice and support.

Always worth mentioning that using Cyano glue like this should be done in a well ventilated place or with breathing apparatus. I did something similar and the fumes ended up making me seriously sick. This is cyanide based.
Thank you for the input!
Artforour.org
I haven’t even watched the whole video and I already feel the need to comment. So you’ve had this idea of what you wanted to achieve and some things didn’t work as expected so you’ve had to do a policy on the run project? Ok got it. I thought was just me.😜
The imagination that goes in to these projects is just amazing and I’m glad to have stumbled across them. I’ll watch the rest of the vid now.😂
Thank you for watching! I appreciate the support.
Artforour.org
I would like to see the shavings cast and then turned!
The idea is good! But you can do better! I'm pretty sure the naica vase#2 Will be perfection on a vase I Will be waiting for
Thanks! I appreciate the support!
Artforour.org
May I suggest you get your own sheets. So you can leave the kitchen ones alone? This way if you have the same stuff that you need as what is in the kitchen. You won't need to buy several dozen of flowers in apology. Or what else you buy if you two fight due to various things.
Good idea! Fortunately I married a Saint!
Artforour.org
That’s really cool. I think the thick pieces made it look very realistic and the violet color is spot on. Nice job Dan.
Thank you Michael!
Artforour.org
That would make an awesome light shade! Gidday from Melbourne, Australia
Thank you!

Amazing! with a little Brass Hardware this could a unique wall sconce.
Not a bad idea!
ArtGivingHope.org
With the silicone mold you can cut it up and put the pieces in the next mold you make if it's not one you feel you'd be using again.
Not a bad idea!
ArtGivingHope.org
Wonderful! In Germany we say to arts&craft Kunsthandwerk. You are one of the best artist!
Thanks!

Until the penalties become greater sick people will not stop doing sex trafficking. At the moment the penalties are so low they are not a deterrent. Too many people get away with it and that is the main reason why sick people keep doing these horrible things.
The victims have to live with the damage for the rest of their lives. I think the people trafficking, pedos and abusers should get a life too. I am thankful for all the help there is out there now for the victumes.
Agreed!
Artforour.org
I’ve only watched a handful of these. I’m curious about vac chamber vs pressure pot as far as the outcomes.
The vacuum chamber really helps sink the resin deep until cracks and pockets in the wood. The pressure pot helps squeeze micro bubbles to get clear resin. I usually use both...
Hail to the Master Artisan of creative beauty. Dan you never cease to amaze us all with your wonderous creations. Much continued support to hear about your humanitarian work. You've captured the Crystal Caves in this excellent piece. Blessings to you and yours. 🙏🕊️
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!☃️❄️🎁🎀🎄
Thank you so much Ferro! You are very kind.
Artforour.org
😊
I've watched many turners use a vacuum chamber first to pull the resin into the wood.
Yup. I discovered that a while after this project.. 😀
I really enjoyed watching this. Your talent is amazing! Never stop creating!!
Thank you very much!

If you use negative rake tools you will not have as much chipping and shards.
Excellent point!
Artforour.org
The trafficking problem is horrible… and what is really sad is that there are families that sell their daughters because they need the money… it makes me sick…
Truly.
Am l an idiot , in the initial first cleanup cutting when it’s dangerous, l would be tempted to lay a running chainsaw blade on the piece when it’s running to rough it into shape
I've often thought as I'm working on the lathe that in the future, they'll probably be using a whole different set of tools...powered etc. Who knows...
Beautiful! I love the crystal cave too! It’s to bad the temperature in there is deadly, it would be an amazing place to see. I know what you mean when you say honey consistency, I’m also in Northern UT. I’ve let my resin bottles sit in a sink filled with warm water prior to mixing. I don’t let the temp get higher than 80 degrees. I’ve had it go off on me if it’s too hot. I also made the mistake of not paying attention to how full the sink was getting.. I looked over to see my bottles bobbing.. luckily I didn’t get any water in them 😅 Great job!
Nice! Thank you!
Artforour.org
should have done up another batch of the blue to fill in the cracks and make it look like the crystals were veining thru the wood to the deposits
Dang! I need you around as a think tank!
Artforour.org
this is definitely the best resin idea! a lot of respect for the master👍
Thank you so much Di!
Artforour.org
You should not speak so much in this kind of movies. Just leave only the sound of your instruments 😊
Thank you for your feedback.
Artforour.org
You should do your Crystal Cave but turn it into like a table light. It would be awesome.
Good idea!
Artforour.org
would look better if the crystals were chiseled into the wood next time rather than using glue.
Agreed!

This project turned out so beautiful and intriguing, and the concept is even better. Too bad the wood split like it did, but this idea definitely deserves another run. Strong work!
Thank you! Much appreciated.

yes, I saw that happen and felt bad for him.
What do you operation Underground Railroad, please explain that.
In short, I raise money for Operation Underground Railroad. They fight child sex trafficking around the world. Check them out at OURRESCUE.ORG.

Hey nice pc.try warming your resin it also takes the floats you see in resin,peace
Thanks Mike!
Artforour.org
I think it’s the humidity because that’s what grows the crystals the dampness and the heat 👍🏻 yes very beautiful
Thank you!

Agreed. I've since solved the problem of air bubbles...
Artforour.org
Beautiful work!
All credit to you for your work for this cause.
The resin is so clear I expected your cloth to get stuck in the cracks 😅
Ha ha! I'm glad it had that effect. :)
Artforour.org
So much plastic and all that beautiful wood discarded......
True. But that's the art form I set out to make in the beginning isn't it?
Artforour.org
Second time doing this. go thinner and lighter? make a lamp shade.
Definitely an option!
Artforour.org
This turned out really nice. It's so pretty with the light inside. I like your idea of making smaller pieces of blue resin so they seem to float a bit more and so you can see the spaces in between. I was thinking that it would look cool with a cloudy/ creamy white/clear translucent section in the middle epoxy filler section (think candy marbles) and to hang this upside down as a lantern over a table with a dimmable old school looking Edison bulb inside or maybe those fancy Philips smart lights that mimic light based on time of day. I almost started imagining an underwater scene in there because it looks like reefs and lava tube caves. Wonderful work!
Thank you so much Risa! Great ideas!
Artforour.org
i had teen sprit blasting in the background it kicked ass with this video
Nice! ✌
Superglue the cracks before you oil it, superglue is a great filler ,
Good idea!
How did you get into resin work and how long have you been doing it?
I started doing resin work 2 years ago.. just watching TH-cam videos
*OUTSTANDING! KUDOS!*
Thank you Gailm!

That'd look pretty with a fat candle inside.
Agreed!

For your bubbles forming you could also take and mix your resin 50-50 with acetone and then paint the wood .
The resin and acetone mix it will soak in and it will dry a thin coat on it I’ve done that on punky wood and on dampwood to seal it up. It orks really good.
50-50 mix resin and acetone
Thank you Dave!

Not at all saying I know more than you do, however, the "crystals" may not have gotten 100% cured because you may not have let it set up 100% before you poured it. I've found it it's at all cloudy prior to my pour, it goes to the flexible stage rather than how it is supposed to be.
It is absolutely gorgeous tho!
Thank you!

Thank you for sharing!
I know that cave. I showed a video about it to my Earth Science students. It's a very unique place. I tried to do an Amber project for my students made with resin and some plastic flies I found on eBay. It was hard. You should try to so a project using the resin and something in it to make it look like amber sap. Wow that Crystal Cave vase turned out beautiful. Are you selling it or another one? I love thinking outside the box.
Thank you! That was a fun project...
Here's what we have currently available: artforour.org
@@artgivinghope Ooh! I went there and bought something. I'll keep buying.
Awesome! Thank you!
OK who is playing the awesome blues?
It's the Unicorn Heads .
That's GORGEOUS!!
I admire your creativity!!! A 2.0 would be fantastic.
I've seen other woodworkers "pressure stabilize" the wood ( I think mostly Sprague woodworking)...
I don't wood work, I might if I were 20-40 years younger!! 😂🤣😂
It's mostly for the ASMR now.....but I did make some cabinets many moons ago...
Thank you!!

Saw the work, was interested in actually supporting the cause but it’s too high tech for me at the moment. I actually wanted to buy a vase but I don’t k ow anything about crypto wallets and I’m not going to set one up just to buy a vase because I’m most likely not going to every use a crypto wallet.
I'm not sure what led you to believe you need crypto. Everything for sale at ArtForOUR.org is just regular credit card etc.
@@artgivinghope , through one of your link it sent me to a site that suggested that I needed to use crypto in open sea. It was very discouraging. I click on a link that had the word ArtforOur. I finally found a different link in your list.
There is a site to buy NFTs, but the main website is Artforour.org, all of our art is for regular purchase, and all raises money for Operation Underground Railroad
Plexiglass too make ur molds and a hot glue gun
Good idea. Although one leak with that technique and $200 worth of resin on the floor and you'll be doing it like I do... :)
You have to be the most creative turner I've ever seen in 25 years of being a woodworker!
You are very kind Mark. I appreciate your support !
