Love what your doing to inspire fellow artists! As a creative myself I appreciate and have benefited from watching your videos. Seeing your talent, your kind and funny demeanor and your helpful instruction is very motivating to even me as I am not a wood worker. I also have a TH-cam channel. I started it earlier this year and try to inspire or help fellow crafters thru my vidoes. Its quite rewarding to hear when folks watch something you've done and are so thankful. My creative passion lies within home decor and floral arrangements but I enjoy watching all artists create beautiful pieces. I just purchased one of your bowls to use as a feature piece on my dinning room table decor... Can't wait to get it in the mail! Keep up the great work Nick, your inspiring the masses!

Eu sou marceneiro de móveis planejados aqui no Brasil, eu sou um grande admirador do seu trabalho, epóxi com madeira !!!!! Lindas obras , parabéns !!!!
Love your work and your energy. Awesome bottle stop project. Love woodworking myself. Hope to one day get a lathe. Keep up the awesome work. Cheers from Alberta Canada.
Nick, absolutely love it... I just recently started turning, mostly because of you and your channel... I just got into bottle stoppers and they are my favorite to turn... keep turning, you are a great inspiration for this as of us that are new!!
You can get a Mandrel that holds them where you drilled the hole then it’s a lot easier. I really love waking up and watching your videos. I am 15 and I’ve been turning for about 3 years I have fallen in love with this craft. So thank you for making your videos.
I love your work, I can definitely tell you're a ♍ for sure. Self critiquing is your forte. But don't be too hard on yourself 😉! Those were absolute gorgeous pieces of work.
Hey Nick, another great resin vid. Just for more suggestions; get a piece of 3/8 all thread or a long 3/8 bolt, cut about 2" of thread off and chuck it up in the lathe which will give you access to the whole blank at once. You may have to use your center for the heavy turning but overall it's certainly the easier way for bottle stopper turning. Keep waffling on. Russ in Knox PA.
Hi Nick, if you don’t have a bottle stopper mandrel you can cut the head off of a bolt that is the same size thread. Thread it into the blank put the bolt in the chuck and turn away. Great vids.
Absolutely awesome. Im lovin the shiney things. Ive jst completed my first Pen and Toothpick holders out of my first bit of acrylic. Ur the Man Nick!!!!!!
These are beautiful! I've only just found you and started working through all your videos. Very enjoyable! Also, spiders are the guardians of the workshop! We must live in harmony with them! My dad had some massive spiders in his shed. They all had names...
Hi Nick, if you tap the end of the blank and then add a piece of threaded rod you can use that to hold the blank while you turn it, love the videos and hope to get my own lathe some day.
I really enjoy watching your videos it giving me a lot of ideas of projects I am going to do with my daughter once I get all the tools and such :) thank you
i dont really do wood turning all down to the cost of the machine but i do like watching these videos there entertaining as well as educational and like you say you cant beat making things your self and a good sense of humor goes a long way (-;
For even clearer looking epoxy resin finish try wet sanding (up to 12,000g even). Epoxy doesn't like the heat build from friction so the wet takes care of it. You know it's to warm when the epoxy turns white when you're sanding. Awesome job! Nice wood.
noooo not baby birds! oh , burrs ah that's okay then hahaha. your reaction to that spider was hilarious. I loved the wine stoppers especially the one that looks like amber. really beautiful wood. all your projects are great, even the ones you think aren't. too modest. keep calm and stay weird 👍
HI, I'm not a woodturner but I like your work & videos. Saw the thumbnail for this video and my first thought was a pair of Nunchakus. Maybe a future project.
You might not think the video is that great, but for someone starting out I think a little project like this is less daunting and more do-able. So thanks for sharing. :) See you at Makers Central
Of course, me nan likes her port n lemon and she could definitely find a use for one of these. She said she likes the orangey one! And she was tapping her foot whilst watching the vid 😂 💃
Another great project Nick! Adding the pigment to a stir stick instead of directly to the resin can help get a brighter, more balanced color, just like you did on the amber one... As an idea, maybe something with Micarta? I like the idea of tap handles, especially if you stacked a bunch of paper with the same design so it would show a picture I'm there final product...
Nick, your artifacts are amazing, congratulations. I recently discovered your videos and now I can't stop watching themy. You have become increasingly "crazy", you are the best. I have only one question, how many time do you leave the products with resin in the pressure cooker? Thankyou.
Heath Knuckles Hi Heath! Love your work too! And these bottle stoppers are awesome, think I'll give it a go! Both of you keep these awesome videos coming!
I'm fascinated by all this turning.......those turned out so very lovely.......thank you......I have a suggestion or request.....have you ever thought of stacking old Computer CD's in resin and making a little Pot I think the hologram of the CD's would be striking! Thank you for your vids!
I use a bolt with the head cut off and put it in my drill chuck for my lathe. Make sure you use a nut on it so the bolt doesn't bottom out. I also use glue in inserts also
They are both beautiful, nice work. You got me interested in the woods you use and I like to look them up to see where they come from. Would it be possible to put their name on the screen, especially when you are not sure of their pronunciation? Research is fun for me. Keep on keeping on Rick, your channel is fun for me too.
For projects like these, could you make the molds upright and glue the wood to the bottom so it does not float up? just wondering and thinking it might make things better/easier! Keep it up!! I love watching you!!
In reference to your aim to keep doing videos on different things. This is my current list. I have done some and not others yet. I’m not working through them in order. Would be interested to see your version of a few. The urn was a great aunt - a celebration ornament rather than a mournful jar. Wood turning ideas 1: Urns (Adult around 4L capacity - 4 Kg = 244lbs of person) Pet Urns exist and can be same price 2: Lazy Suzanne 3: Lamps 4: Mini lamps... 5: Night light. what about night nights... battery colour changing LED or even mains to LED... 6: Toy box 7: Trinket box 8: candle stick holders 9: salad tongues 10: phone/ mobile phone stand 11: desk tidy 12: baby rattle. 13: wall clock 14: desk clocks 15: pocket watch 16: coaster set 17: bed side table/children’s bed side table 18: Coffee table 19: coat hook/rack 20: pan rack 21: salad bowl 22: decorative bowls
Hey Nick I know you said you don't know if you will make anymore but..... they do make bottle stopper mandrels. So you can thread the blank on, turn, and finish the blank all at once. So if you decide to make more get you want to be a little easier on yourself.
Love these. I’d love to get something similar to use as a cane / walking stick topper... like a fire crystal look. Nick, I’m gonna make/carve my own staff, just unsure what wood to use. I’m a really big dude (6’5”, about 500 lbs) and need a good hardwood. Any recommendations besides oak? Continue waffling brother, even the wifey loves your silliness 😝👍🏼
Ask Rene' to send you the chuck that threads into the bottle stopper. It has the diameter of the stopper made into it. I turn them sometimes. I cast items into the resin, like football stickers and Mardis Gras king cake babies. I have some of maple burl like that and I just throw it away. Not anymore! Thanks for the inspiration mate
#10,703 viewer w/ #661 comment. I agree Nick, I like the red/orange one better as well. Being able to see the wood inside the resin is quite beautiful. With a bright enough light you can probably see inside the blue as well. the blue just got so dark with only one drop of dye. maybe you might need to mix it like you did the red, put the drop on the stir stick and just touch it here and there? they are both quite nice though.
Would like to see you make some instructional videos on the stuff you do I know there are some out there but would like to see you do some with your fun and entertaining ways
If you would get a bolt, or a piece of all thread with the same thread as the stopper kit you could make a mandrel that could hold the blank and you could turn it all from one side
Those are wicked cool would love to have something like that for the shelf since I don't drink anything to stop up Sweet tea doesn't come with a top that small LOL Like you I really like the red one the blue one is just to dark and would have looked a lot better if it was lighter But great job on your little project!! Thumbs Up
I love these! I went to your website to look at purchasing them but it wasn't listed??!! C'mon Nick! Make my Christmas list wine-ier ?! lol. Lots of love and blessings from Miami FL USA
hey nick you should not use the chrome ones in wine, they will pit after a while. looks like you had a stainless one that is what you should use for wine
Loved it. BTW, it's pronounced am-BO-ay-na - REALLY expensive burl from Southeast Asia. Has a wonderful aroma when you turn it and some amazing results. Give it a go.
www.traedrejerbutikken.dk is a Danish webshop. The name means woodturners shop - traedrejer (trædrejer) is woodturner and butikken means the shop.
Such a great idea! Those came out beautiful! Once again, I love the colors and wood. 🚨🎈🚨🎈🚨🎈🚨🎈

Those turnings for the bottle stoppers would also make spectacular shift knobs for cars too. Sweet! 🇺🇸

I love watching these after work, it’s really interesting to see what you can make.
Very pretty! Love the orange one as well.
Thanks for sharing!

I love the resin wood combinations... Always make me think of far off planets or under the sea caves... So awesome...
Nick! Your advice to the young folks to get involved making things would be great as a reminder in today’s COVID world. Cheers!
I love your work, I can definitely tell you're a ♍ for sure. Self critiquing is your forte. But don't be too hard on yourself 😉! Those were absolute gorgeous pieces of work.
Awesome!!! Love all the resin projects! Keep up the great work!!!
Loveeeeeeeee the wood and resin blanks ❤️❤️❤️
Love the bottle tops. Now you need to make the wood and resin bottles.😉😊

I'm not even 5 minutes into this video and I'm so excited about it it's ridiculous!!!
Hi Nick, if you don’t have a bottle stopper mandrel you can cut the head off of a bolt that is the same size thread. Thread it into the blank put the bolt in the chuck and turn away. Great vids.

Man! You are having so much fun. Loving your work!
Gareth Martin thanks buddy
Haha, i love watching your videos Nick it sets me up for the day!
I love the amber red bottle stopper best but both are fantastic! 👍🏻🇺🇸
geepers those turned out nice! blue one reminds me of the deep winter midnight sky
More great stuff! Your idea's keep me inspired.
Those are gorgeous! Use the blue for vodka, the reddish one for whiskey.
As always, learning, learning and learning with fun 👍🏼😊

Beautiful ❣️I love your sense of humor❣️
You make some amazing things. These are really nice.
Jean Grice thanks so much
I love the hybrid look. Can’t wait to finally do one.
For even clearer looking epoxy resin finish try wet sanding (up to 12,000g even). Epoxy doesn't like the heat build from friction so the wet takes care of it. You know it's to warm when the epoxy turns white when you're sanding. Awesome job! Nice wood.
Lovely job Nick. Would make a lovely gear knob as Well!
Nice one Nick. Grip the threaded bar as a screw chuck.
They turned out great, Nick!!!
Ooh! That looks like amber! Nice!
Awesome as always, good work Nick...
noooo not baby birds! oh , burrs ah that's okay then hahaha. your reaction to that spider was hilarious. I loved the wine stoppers especially the one that looks like amber. really beautiful wood. all your projects are great, even the ones you think aren't. too modest. keep calm and stay weird 👍
Hi Nick you can get a bottle stopper mandrill to put in the threaded end then put on your chuck
very beautiful bottle stoppers!
HI, I'm not a woodturner but I like your work & videos. Saw the thumbnail for this video and my first thought was a pair of Nunchakus. Maybe a future project.
Great Video Nick. So true about doing it for the fun of it and not worrying about mistakes. Being creative is great, lets keep making!
You might not think the video is that great, but for someone starting out I think a little project like this is less daunting and more do-able. So thanks for sharing. :) See you at Makers Central
Of course, me nan likes her port n lemon and she could definitely find a use for one of these. She said she likes the orangey one! And she was tapping her foot whilst watching the vid 😂 💃
That would make an excellent shifter knob for my Lamborghini, the fire one
Another great project Nick! Adding the pigment to a stir stick instead of directly to the resin can help get a brighter, more balanced color, just like you did on the amber one...

I have only one question, how many time do you leave the products with resin in the pressure cooker?
Thankyou.
Awesome! Wish I could buy some of these!
Hi nick, if you do any more, you can put a piece of allthread in the tapped hole to hold it in the chuck.
Nick, there is a chuck made specifically for bottle stoppers and comes with the threader.
Love these videos. Unfortunately I can't really do any of these as i don't have workshop or these mega power tools, but it's still fun to watch!
Thank you for not killing Spidey and re-homing him/her instead :) Real men protect life , no matter what size :) :) :) xoxoxo
Spider-Man! 🤣 That’s great! Beautiful bottle stopper brother! 🤘👌
Heath Knuckles haha thanks dude

Hi Nick when making bottle stoppers you should have used a bottle stopper mandrel to hold the blank on the lathe cheers ian
ian mills ahhhh that’s what I was missing lol 🤗🤗😬
The amber one is my favorite!
I use a bolt with the head cut off and put it in my drill chuck for my lathe. Make sure you use a nut on it so the bolt doesn't bottom out.
I also use glue in inserts also
Love them so many fancy bottles have lost there stoppers.They are vintage or antique.Can buy them cheep at flea markets yard sales
They are both beautiful, nice work. You got me interested in the woods you use and I like to look them up to see where they come from. Would it be possible to put their name on the screen, especially when you are not sure of their pronunciation? Research is fun for me. Keep on keeping on Rick, your channel is fun for me too.
I would love to see a stool like you would use at a workbench, but the seat made from resin and wood much like these bottle stoppers.
Cool bottle stoppers also
For projects like these, could you make the molds upright and glue the wood to the bottom so it does not float up? just wondering and thinking it might make things better/easier! Keep it up!! I love watching you!!

I did put that in the box for him, think he overlookeed it :D
You could make one pretty easy with a piece of all thread
5:21 & 5:27 Bottom right corner... you've got another friend lol They really like you today :)
Love these. I’d love to get something similar to use as a cane / walking stick topper... like a fire crystal look.
Nick, I’m gonna make/carve my own staff, just unsure what wood to use. I’m a really big dude (6’5”, about 500 lbs) and need a good hardwood. Any recommendations besides oak?
Continue waffling brother, even the wifey loves your silliness 😝👍🏼
Spider was just joining in on a video. Poor thing wants to be famous too 😂😂
Am supporting u by watching the full advertisement videos and visiting their link 👍🏽 keep the great videos coming dude 🌹
HAHA Hey cheers dude. very kind of you man. glad you like the videos . all the best
I saw that spider sneak up on you. yeah, he tried to kill you. lol 😏😜😅😅😅😅😅 good video 🙌👏

Fala meu amigo, sou teu fã!
Assistir todos os seus vídeos, eu moro no Brasil 🇧🇷
Looks good Nick !
They both turned out beautifully Nick, nice one mate :)
Cheers
Mike
you are creative . always you have new idea . like!
Great video as usual Nick, and you cracked me up. Try a stopper mandrel next time😉👍
A drill chuck and a 3/8 bolt in the head stock makes a good turning mandrel.

There’s a mandrel that holds the blank for making bottle stoppers. It makes the job much easier.
Hey Nick you should try to use mammoth ivory powder and resin to make your own ivory blanks.
If you would get a bolt, or a piece of all thread with the same thread as the stopper kit you could make a mandrel that could hold the blank and you could turn it all from one side
Ok so I’m the new (old) kid on the block but I love your approach
What size drill bit did you use
They look great
Those are wicked cool would love to have something like that for the shelf since I don't drink anything to stop up Sweet tea doesn't come with a top that small LOL Like you I really like the red one the blue one is just to dark and would have looked a lot better if it was lighter But great job on your little project!!

Hi Nick, nice project, can you let me know what pigments you use for the resin, and where you purchase them from ?
hey nick you should not use the chrome ones in wine, they will pit after a while. looks like you had a stainless one that is what you should use for wine
Loved it. BTW, it's pronounced am-BO-ay-na - REALLY expensive burl from Southeast Asia. Has a wonderful aroma when you turn it and some amazing results. Give it a go.
Where did you get those sanding pads? Love your bottle stoppers by the way...
I'm surprised that amber looks as good as it does - I had assumed the blue would look more striking
Nick, check out the Coroplast Coro Claw Deluxe Knife for cutting you plastic. It used to make boxes.
Those are amazing
Nice work Nick.
