Love how you show this systematically
Excellent job with your resin. And see I agree you do make it look so easy. Thank you for sharing 😊
Beautiful work! You make it look so easy.
Wonderful tutorial and stunning, realistic results!
This video is great for starters. Thank you so much 🙏🏼
Awesome tutorial thank you so much for sharing, loved every minute of your video perfect for a newbie to resin!
Thanks this was amazing, I am going to try it out today and if I get good I will be marking some large tables and possibly counter tops. 😁
This is a really good tutorial and very well explained, thank you so much!
Love it...I never did it like that...so beautiful and easy
Man your work is awesome. Congrats 👏 please keep on making more videos.
Thanks for the tutorial! I’m curious if you prepped the cutting board? And if so, how?
Thank you soo much, I tried this method but still had issues using using the West Systems epoxy that I usually use, so I tried a different epoxy I pulled out some UVPOXY from Ecopoxy and it was night and day, my very first try looks amazing, enough so that I'm going to make an ocean table after I've done some more practice, again learning from a PRO is never a bad option
Thank you for making this look easy enough for us to try! Great tutorial! I’m definitely a subscriber now!!
These are very beautiful. I showed them to a friend and she wants one. I have just finished by first river table and have experience making canoes with epoxy. I want to try making one of these. It looks like the cutting boards are finished. Do you have to sand the areas where the waves go? Or will the epoxy stick to the finish without sanding? Thanks for the video!
Beautiful! I would imagine those would sell like crazy at Christmas time. How much would you sell those for? Cost to make? Great video!!
Wear a respirator even of there is no smell the chemicals are bad in the long run for your lungs.
I’ve just found out about resin art and I think this is a good start for me. Very nice tutorial u can have 1 extra subscriber from me and look forward to seeing more of these
This was fascinating to watch! Love the boards, they turned out great. You have a new friend.
This is amazing! I was going to book into a workshop to do this until I saw it was $140 australian. You have just saved me at least half of that. Thank you so much!😃🇦🇺
Hope it helps!
Thank you so much for this amazing video RIver!!!
Great video. Looks good! Thanks for making the video.
Love this effect.
Moms love everything! Lol🤣. Looks great! 💙
Amazing. Thanks for posting!!
Love your work! Could you tell me what brand and product you are using for the white waves ?
Great video, I really want to try doing that, it looks so beautiful. Thank you for showing me how to do it step by step.
wow!!! excellent work thanks 😊
Really nice tutorial thank you!
Fantastic job, very creative.
Absolutely fantastic 👏 👌 Sir.
Thank you for sharing man.
And beautiful work!!
Wow!! Amazing. Thank you.
Superb mate. Love it! 👌😎🇬🇧
This is amazing!!😲 Did you prep the cutting board in anyway before adding the epoxy? Or did you just use it as is?
Amazing, how do you remove the hardened drops of resin under the frame?
Oooh lovely! You could make some nice earrings with that runoff!
I’ve never even thought of that! What a great idea! I think you could just put cups to catch it.
A Dutch pour with epoxy. Cool! Do you have to use a torch or would a heat gun work?
Great can you use a heat gun instead of a blow torch? Love this art wood work. 😉
Awesome, thanks for sharing.
Chris, what do you do to the bottom to keep resin off? Do you take it?
This is so beautiful. Thanks for the tutorial.
sir, you are an absolute genius. thank you so much for sharing🙌🏾🙌🏾
love the tutorial very good video im subbed
Can you please tell me how you prepare the back side of the board? Thank you. They are beautiful!
Hey Man! Super Cool Effect! What material is the plastic sheet you are using at minute 17 ? I'm trying to find something similar here in Italy... Thanks
You did an amazing job! And I really appreciated that you did step by step for us and didn't leave any thing out thank you so much for that!! I had one question for you. The wood your using is it pre-treated with anything?
Yes it was waxed and oiled but I sanded that off
@@PourMeARiver Thank you for answering 😊
Hey great job! Silly question, how many Watts is your hair dryer?
Great work. Plus Good Job explaining. However did you sand before adding the 2nd. Coat. I don't think the first coat had time to dry. I was just wondering before i try this project
No I didn't sand. I waited 12 hrs and directly poured the 2nd coat
Wow pretty dang cool!!!
Great video, how much blue was in your second coat?
Is there any special prep to the boards before pouring resin?
Ur a god damn artist bro. Your videos make my day better. Keep it coming man!
Beautiful ❤️
“I’m gonna give it to my mom anyway.” “Moms love everything” 😌
Yeah...that part..lol
She hung it on the wall. Lol
Amazing!!
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! Genial!!!!!! Excelente idea para hacer artístico un objeto cotidiano. Excellent idea to make artistic a daily object. Tky for sharing.
Did you tape off the back? I use 2 different blues for depth.
Is there anything on the board before you pour the epoxy on?
Love it! You’re so helpful! Thanks!
I’d add a couple of tiny sand dollars on a top corner! I’m gonna make one! Thanks for sharing!
Great idea! Maybe add them before the 2nd coat so their protected and you can still see them!
Do you make glow in the dark pigment. I have an outdoor project in mind (mailbox) and I wanted to do glow in dark for numbers.
Great work
Amazing!
What did u use for mixing the white? resin hardener and what kind of white colour? , it get little white pixel all day long and no waves
Can you use a heat gun in replacement of the torch?
Which products did u use? AMAZING
Are these for decoration or can they be used for food?
Fully watched 😀👍
Buen vídeo, enhorabuena.
How do you make it flat after all that resin on top? Do you leave it uneven or?
How do you keep the resin from collecting or creeping around to the back surface of your cutting boards - and if it does, how do you remove it please ? I know nothing about this stuff and havenever done it but your work is fabulously talented ! 👏
I let it drips. Some people tape the bottom. I don't because it never comes out clean. So, I let it drip then I place it upside down on a foam pad and sand the drips off. After that I oil and wax the bottom back to a nice finish.
I love your instruction, but I had to watch it several times(I'm new at this). Anyway I have two questions.. first I tried to use a bamboo cutting board and the resin did not stick!! Weird. Do you have to use a certain non coated board? Second how do you deal with all the drips on the edges???
I sanded the board first. When you buy them they are waxed and oiled. You need to sand it first or buy them uncoated.
Very nice!
This is totally amazing, thank you. And thank you for making it look so easy. I have a question; is that butcher’s paper that covers your table and working area?
lol it's so simple, nice
great skill boss
did you scuff up the boards to make the epoxy stick better
If i don't have a torch and only used the hair dryer which blows hot air would it be enough cause I've been facing this not cell looking waves problem cause i used to blow it cold
I didn't notice wether you use hardener or not. Is it all right if we do not use hardener in epoxy resin?
By the way do you use the same resin for the flood pour and for the waves? Coz i want to try the resin but I was told that casting resin is meant to sink and so table top shld be used for waves. Id like to know if the resin you use can be for both casting since river tables use thick volume anyways and I see you do the waves too.
Yes. I use the top coat for both. You could also use the craft
magnificent👏👏👏
Nice. What is underneath them as table cover
Have you ever considered using something to catch the run off resins and put them to use, such as in mounds or something?
My wife uses the scraps.
@@PourMeARiver what does your wife do with them please?
@@777sgiles maybe to catch the blue resin for other products. Have the smaller size product below catching the resin.
how long did this project take you?
What did you seal the boards with before you did this? Do you have to sand the finish before you make the wave also? Ty
Best tutorial ever.
Thank you for sharing, please what colors r u using exactly. Is it specifically for resin or what
Everything I use is from Www.pourmeariver.com
Are those store bought boards or did you make them?
What is the kind of white for the waves pls ? May u make it more clear ? Thanks
I have mica pearl white , would that do for the waves?
Do you let the resin run down the sides of the board ?
Wow 🤩
How much epoxy would I need for a 4x6 table 1/4 inch thick
What white do you use please? Thanks
Can i use heat from hair dryer to make cells ?
Hey what type of pigment are you using?
If i use more colour blue to be opaque wont it spoil the resin ?
I love this! Question, I notice you are not wearing a respirator. Do you skip it for video's or just never use one? I LOVE resin & have 2 gallons of it but never use it because the stuff scares me.
I never wear one with the epoxy I use. But I don't have any reactions to epoxy. I always suggest you use one. I just don't, it's voc free but still I tell everyone if they have allergic reactions to epoxy, then always use ppe
So it doesnt need final sanding, wouldn't the ocean pour be higher than the board without sanding
