Woodturning - Can you recycle old resin shavings?

In this woodturning video I will recycle or repurpose some resin shavings from previous projects. Mixed green and red shavings to provide good contrast and casted in clear epoxy resin. Used a nice piece of burl for the base and once it was out of the resin pressure pot it was time to shape the blank using my woodturning lathe. For this application I used my negative rake carbide bits and finished with resin top coat for high gloss premium finish.

    • The kind of wasteful approach to wood is one of the things about wood turning that has weirded me out. Most craftsmen who work with wood pride themselves on creating little waste. But just grinding things that could clearly be cut out whole during the design phase down to sawdust seems to be the way most people in this craft go. So this is refreshing to me, too.

  • Its a never ending paradox, the more shavings he uses, the more he makes, he will never run out

  • I’ve never worked with resin and I’m curious about the tape. Could you just put one piece over, pulling it super taught, do your pour and then quickly add the rest of the tape? Also, a beautiful outcome! And, that is one Percheron of a Forstner bit 😱✅ Thanks!

    @rudlterranigma5386@rudlterranigma53864 ай бұрын
    • Thank you 🙂 Yes there were some this is why i went with a resin top coat finish. Also many bubbles within the shavings. Would have been better to put in the vaccine pot to suck the air out them into the pressure pot to further help with the bubbles
