 We'll give it a couple minutes for everyone to come on before we get started John's already here Good day, sir Welcome Wednesday one o'clock. I'm excited to do these again. We got a couple things Dude look at my hand. Oh, why that's from bringing the burnt wood in from the truck So for those of you that are new we try to do this every Wednesday one o'clock. It's a live video in the studio I'm David behind the camera is Jeff. It's up So if you comment Jeff would try and Respond back or take your questions exactly John says hello Dave and Jeff It's been a while John hey free spirit, what's up ashen Asian Look at this a day's laid out all the burnt wood that he did last week with his daughter So we're gonna be talking about the burnt wood in this fact it's called shu suki bomb shu suki bun shu suki bomb. Okay, and I guess that's some sort of I guess I think it's Japanese technique Of you burn the wood and they use it on the outside of buildings And apparently when you burn the wood when you charge it it lasts for way longer Oh, no, but we've had customers our customers asking about it And I think it's because there's this YouTube page called black tail studios and he's a guy that has lots of big tables with resin So he was experimenting with shu suki on Tables just because it looks nice So that's what we're going to do today. We have Plus one thing we're going to do today. Okay is resigning. We're going to do our first coat We're just going to be sealing it not a thick coat just sealing it if we were to put a thick coat right now So much of the resin would just absorb in and it'd be kind of a waste of money Because that's a big waste of resin so coat number one for all this will be sealing it Then we'll probably we'll sand it down a bit then we'll do a nicer coat And that'll be able to really see the effect that we get and the sealing also helps with the breathing in the bubbles Yeah, exactly. Yeah, so once we seal it then the next coat won't have to worry about the breathing in the bubbles. Perfect Exactly. Cool. So that's one thing we're going to do. This looks good Uh, we're trying to work from a list of things And then if if you guys have any suggestions or ideas we can add it to our list So from last week, we're going to be reviewing. We did one technique to make your resin look like marbled if you're doing countertop Next week When Hannah's back, we're going to do another technique. Just there's three main techniques. This is another one It's a bit more complicated We'll do that next week on this nice big piece of wood Oh, you're doing monster one. Oh sweet Different marbling techniques. Oh cool. Just just show how to do that Nice. So stay tuned. There's a little preview everybody. Yeah Um, so today we're going to review the marble from last week We're going to look at a cell phone case that we also marbled. Mm-hmm We'll resin the shushugi bond and we'll resin just a piece of art going back to art resin basics Yeah, just a piece of art on a canvas So why don't we start by looking at the marbling we did last week? Look at this. Look At that So it turned out amazing looks for really good. Yeah, and with so many things with resin and with color less is more Less is always more and it's hard to go back to it. So this turned out great And then we experimented on a cell phone case Which is one of your guys suggestions. Thank you for that. Good day. Dominic. Hey Dominic So we made this I'll show you the process we made a box You can make your your box for duplicating objects out of anything out of cardboard lined with packing tape Out of uh plexiglass is a bit more advanced one. This is just foam core lined with packing tape. Mm-hmm And it's it's a bit bigger than the size of a cell phone case So perfect. Here was the process we glued This down to the bottom so glued the flat part down then we poured The two-part mold making material over top Then once it's cured you flip this way you pull out your original case And then we filled it with the same Resin we used for this countertop. It turned it turned out pretty good The only issue is these rough edges. So Uh, you can kind of trim it with a knife carefully To get off the really big parts and then sand it down and Again, we haven't gotten a perfect case yet. We're trying to experiment but This is getting pretty close The next the next thing we'll figure out how to bring the shine back to this So I don't know maybe a final we'll do a final coat of a spray varnish or something I don't think you want to apply more resin to this. Hmm, but I think that turned out great Oh, I would try it on my phone, but just pass my phone. Okay Well Perfect. Boom. How's that feel everyone? There you go. Boom snap done. Yeah, let us know how that felt Comment below. So that's that Right. Nice. Yeah, that's that's pretty basic tight fit. Yeah, there's a tight fit action patient boom But there you go. So there's marbling There's a marbled Cell phone case cell phone case. Yeah, we just kind of we'll keep playing around with how to make This edge perfect the whole because that's a thing a like that that's the thing we should probably do is is Like there's so many different Results we've gotten of things that whether we've molded or just done a resonating of something And it has a rough edge that you want to trim off. Yeah, even coasters, right? So, yeah finding the best way to finish those edges when you have to sand it or trim it Yeah, and get the shine back. Yeah, so that's a good thing we should do I think that this might be the work. It was kind of Sepulexus in Detroit. Oh, welcome to Detroit. So we're up in Canada About an hour West of Toronto Yeah, and the world's just started to open up the government is easing back all their rules It was quite strict up here But we're starting to see life come back and people celebrating being out With other people good timing with the good weather because everybody wants to be out, right? So yeah Hi, Greece. Happy trip in Greece. Greece. Yeah, all Greece is Greece. Oh, we're in Greece because I was in Oh god, I gotta whack my brain here. I was on a greek island called Oh starts to see what am I saying? Oh, I forget. Oh my lord No, no Uh Oh, wow, that'll come to me Exactly And it was amazing and did this incredible like Walk from down this, uh, gorge. Oh and walk to the ocean. Yeah, it was incredible. It was incredible Were you there with your wife or with friends? Uh, family. So family went whole family went. Yeah, like it was a Friend had a friend of my dad's had a place there Please add translation to all of your videos. Oh, we'll try happy trip. Yeah, I guess greek greek. Yeah It's greek l.a. Yeah, greek isn't it? Yeah I forget that one. Oh coffee. Thank god for coffee. I already done I do not Okay, so let's move over here. Okay. Here's the actual resume that we're going to do today We are again experimenting with sushi bun. So there's a live video from last week where I was torturing on So you can see that for us. It's quite easy. The torch that I used was bought at a hardware store and it was used for Killing weeds. It's just a big long Torch on a pole Okay, you can even do it with something like this and burn it so this One is a wooden canvas or stator wooden canvas. You can get any art start. I believe it's made of a birch And this all came smoothly But for some reason this part did on the fire and it went through one layer two layers down to a third layer It almost looks like they crisscrossed the grains when they build this See the grains are going this way then they're going this way and they're back to that way So but it kind of looks cool. So we're going to resin over this The sand it down maybe we can do a painting on top of it. So this will be a nice black background With the wood grain still in it. Yep, so still can make use of it. Absolutely So all of this stuff is just for how it looks like it just looks kind of cool I don't know what we'll do with it. I'm thinking maybe this one will turn into coasters or something Oh, okay. This is called purple heart. I left half of the wood unburned just so we can see the difference between burnt and not burnt This is a beautiful wood hard wood That's right. Art is art Art is art Don't worry about anything you might burn something but you just turn it. Yeah, something else. All right I was listening to a podcast and they they were talking about how Hard it is to be a creative person. I'm not sure like main income source But it seems like the secret is Just you have to produce volume to stop just make stuff make stuff make stuff make stuff make stuff and then some and then something might hit But it's just that process of just constantly making stuff And that that kind of needs to feel better when you just you don't know where you're already going But you just keep creating it keep creating and keep creating and making stuff And that and through the only through that process that you find something that Fits with the zeitgeist Of our times, right? That's it and then and enjoy the process. Don't get frustrated. Try not to get frustrated But enjoy it and that enjoyment will come out I also saw this thing that that there's this correlation between creativity and depression Oh, yeah, like a very strong one. So so creative people have a more difficult time But you just have to create right? That's true. So this is actual Oh, it's uh, oh that's been purchased Oh, wow. That's uh, yeah, and so this is actually what's on the outside of the shed Is the shishiki bottle So, yeah, I'll write a little chart So you can actually buy this stuff in the store So we're gonna present that so you can purchase the next piece of shishiki bottle All right, they said let's go. Let's resin. Okay, almost there So this is just a piece of wood I found out in a forest And I had a drawing. I thought I'd use this one day. So again This one has really deep indentations from just years of weathering in the forest And this is an old fence board or like a barn board That's been fired I didn't notice that when I went along What's this called a knot lots of like, uh, I guess sap came bubbling to the surface. Oh, interesting And no one's flowing down here and created that that thing. So And this is just another scrap piece of wood that's been outside and weathered for a long time And again, I was thinking I want to be resin and they will cut it and make coasters This this piece. I think we'll cut and then put them side by side and make some sort of board Okay That's resin Yeah, so it's on A canvas which isn't ideal for resin and just take the edge of the masking tape just to take care of The drips right and I'm I'm having this one up off of the Up off of the surface So this is probably the smallest you anything bigger than this You would probably want to support the middle if it's a canvas right to avoid the pooling But this is at this size you can get away with Anything larger than that we would recommend supporting the back with some cardboard or something just to To keep it strong so that the art so the resin won't pool in the middle and create like a deeper cavity here I love it too. Alexis. See she says she loves I love it and I I she says I love that I And I said I love it too Yeah, it's really smart. You're right. Yeah, right dad humor there. Oh boom right there Really really great stuff Okay, so this is the resin holy cow. Okay, so resin one. Oh, okay, I'm gonna boom then he's gonna mix Big jug time, right? Absolutely tool tim Okay, is anybody here that's on our live with us right now watch tool tim. That's what I want to know Dave loved tool tim Oh, sorry if that blew off anybody's ears, but that was exciting. Come on sports sports Sports sports miss. No, come on asian. We're doing what we can. Yeah, that was pretty good for uh in and out in and out Michael close it was close. Yes I have yeah, and it's a rabbit hole. I don't like going down It's terrible. It's just a terrible What's that Yeah, yeah, yeah What and it like tiktok's a smart right like it knows um What you watch so if you do stay and watch something longer, then I guess that that's what it puts in your face, right? So I didn't know there was like so you can actually just click on somebody who is actually live right then in there and just watch them Yeah, and then you start scrolling through only live. Oh good lord. There's lots of there's lots of men wearing Lipstick like in live videos. I found maybe they think that that's what I really like Men wearing makeup like really elaborate makeup. Okay. That's what my feed was free spirits here said that she saw someone doing like Uh elastic bands around watermelons and white until they explode Yeah, because you want to see it explode you're if you're invested you're gonna stick around until Good for you. I I think I'll be doing the same Well, you you eyeballed it a little bit I was trying to do math this morning Have I what have I done math? Yeah. Yeah I've done math I'm scared now of like this of all this new math that they say they're teaching the kids so as my kids grow up I have to learn again. What do you mean? Well, it's all new math like some was saying like they don't do the multiplication tables anymore So or or the yeah like so People don't know what five times five is they don't learn these the multiple the simple multiplication So they have all this new math which takes like An hour to answer a question when if you learn your multiplication table math is a lot quicker Are you sure? Uh, that's what I've heard but uh, I don't know because my kids are still young They're just in kindergarten No Yep, I'm not saying anything New math Cryptocurrency and oh, yeah Bitcoin Is it legit like are you like it just sounds weird to me. I don't know what it is for you, but Ethereum coin in order to pay for gas To to mint Your artwork into an NFT that can be put onto a marketplace. So there's marketplace like amazon There's like amazons for NFTs like the biggest one is called open c open sea. Uh-huh. So you it's just a marketplace You can find you can create your NFTs and buy and sell them Well, that sounds I think I But you're not getting the artwork you're getting a Getting a digital file that you that you store in a wallet A digital wallet and but that's you but you're the only owner of that file The process of minting your artwork Yeah, turns it into a file that there can't that file can't be duplicated that lives It's almost like your artwork is almost like a currency Yeah, keep in the same place as you keep your And what do you do with that original piece of artwork? It can exist in the real world It's completely separate completely separate from a digital file. Yeah, I don't know. I I'm gonna I'm gonna need some time to Yeah A thousand percent I mean I'm interested like I I would like to know more about it because to me it doesn't sound As valuable So I'd like to know why there's their value in that. I think that's a really good thing Let's talk to everybody here too as well. Just so we know Everybody knows the basic process of art resin, but just in case you don't Dave is mixing resin and hardener equal amounts measured by volume not weight He's gonna stir it for three minutes making sure he scrapes the sides in the bottom And then he's gonna pour all over all these things and as we said, we're gonna seal these woods today We're not actually creating a layer to Uh to resin or have a final coat We're just doing it to seal and then Dave's gonna actually put a final coat though on his eye here. Yeah But that is what we're doing. No problem. We're starting to go down the rabbit hole But I like the rabbit holes. Let's go back to it because I want to know more about this stuff Yeah, that's interesting. That's really so are you interested like is it something okay? You say you want I mean obviously it's important to know about it because that's where the eye The world is going digital But do you see value in that versus an original piece like this eye here that versus a digital piece of this eye Well, it's a different marketplace. So there are people who are buying owning So why do you want that nft though? So you can what make a copy of it So if you own it, can you now make a copy from that file and and replicate it? No, but you could like print it out into the real world They're displayed on the screen But there's only every one of them that exists Is the nft that's the whole point of it and the reason people want them is because in theory they actually have value You could put it back on the marketplace and resell it and if it's If it's like a relevant piece of Whatever the nft is Then people it should increase it'll hold value over time and increase interesting. Okay, so it is like it's a currency almost Right, right, right which is Which is something that's just a round period that people do with anything You own a piece of art people just want to buy a piece of art because it's like I own it. I yeah So if they have the nft, it's like, oh, yeah, I have the original file of uh, Dave Zach's eye But that being said, I was reading an article that was saying that Like 99 of nfts that are being created are going to be absolutely valueless 95 percent 99 I couldn't I couldn't I could see that because I'm I'm struggling just to find value period well, it's almost like your nft has to be culturally significant to the times So that there's almost a narrative in the story around it So if your nft has talked about in places, then it stays alive Otherwise these I think most nfts will just be digital things that just kind of disappear So having conversations about it Gives it value. Gotcha. Yeah. Okay. Yep. Yep Wow, man Yeah, we should this is good. Well Let us know everybody and make comments below if you guys want to hear more because we'll we'll research and then we can try and talk But it's more because we're just I'm well, I'm definitely know nothing about it Okay, let's go there you go so You're not gonna dome it right you're just gonna let it run off. Yeah. Oh, because you tape. Did you tape the bottom? You said yeah Cool, so Dave taped the bottom so that the resin runs off it'll drip But he'll be able to pull the tape off in 24 hours. We have to pull it off tomorrow Yeah, so it doesn't stick to it And here we are just sealing these woods Yeah So we're not gonna be a base coat It's almost like if you were if you had a sponge and you cover the outside of it in resin Then the the next coat you put on top won't be able to soak into the sponge Does that make sense? Yep. This one even has like nails still on it But it might be cool And I'm not sure what we're gonna do with these We're just seeing what the effect looks like Yeah, the purple heart looks nice people are Like I mean it shows up the color shows nice into the resin. Yeah Start spreading the resin So yeah, if Dave wanted to he could dome it as I mean, I don't know I'm trying to figure out if doming is a term that we created or if that's been around the world But I think it's been around in like for jewelry mostly. Oh, okay Do you have doming? So yeah, so doming is just yeah where you would instead of letting it run off you would just push it Easily right to the edge so it didn't fall off if you wanted to and so you can control it a bit more But It's also just easy. Just let it run off a little bit pull the tape off tomorrow. Yeah, exactly Yeah, use it with jewelry. Yeah So the other thing what was that technique called where you mixed golden with it? Oh Shoshugi or she she I forget but I I'm brutalizing it but it's something that it's really Kinsugi, okay, kinsugi fix things that are broken with gold Which is the technique called kinsugi Look it up
