ReCreations

Welp.. Todays learning is that it looks like an electric hand planer will level this resin out real nice like. Second part to that is I will have a garbage bag of fake snow when I am done..

I have learned over the years to never expect what you envision on the first go around. And thus is why I am doing this one as a TEST table.. Next time I will seal the wood, it released a bunch of air. The resin didnt shrink as much as I thought. And when you buy GOOD hot glue it will stick to wood really well.. I am going to still work this and see what I can do..
Oh ya, extra resin poured into moulds could turn up some cool things too..

Got some things in the mail.. Was able to get back to the table project. Well really, it's a tester table. And I even went with a test piece for the test table. First time dealing with resin. Little bit of a learning curve so far..

Last night was truly awesome. Got to see a demo of a spectacular Russian blacksmith. His name is Anton Yakushev and is doing some cutting edge art in metal work.. The leprechaun had the tiniest of hands and feet. The praying mantis has amazing detail. I get to go work with him and others and make this praying mantis in about a 4ft size this weekend.
Truly inspired tonight. While I am waiting on some table materials to show up I decided it was time to get to work on rebuilding my forge tonight..
