Let's get to know each other! Comment below sharing where you are in the world, a photo of your workspace or project you have working on 😊 I’m excited to have you here! In this short guide, I’ll explain who this community is for, share a few important ground rules, and show you how to get your first project underway with confidence. Who This Community Is For This is for creators who want to master epoxy resin and woodturning — not just as a hobby, but as a serious craft. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to level up your skills, you’re in the right place. If you want to create one-of-a-kind resin and wood pieces you’re genuinely proud of, you are at the right place! Community Ground Rules To keep this space focused, supportive, and high quality: 🚫 No selling (direct or indirect) 🚫 No self-promotion 🚫 No engagement farming 🚫 No negativity 🚫 No unrelated links This is a positive, skill-focused environment where we support each other and celebrate real progress. How to Get Started 1️⃣ Head to the Classroom section and watch the introduction training 2️⃣ Start with the beginner resin dragon egg module what contains so much useful information that will be very handy later on as you progress through the modules. 3️⃣ Share your first project or goal inside the community so we can support you I’m genuinely excited to see what you create. Let’s build something extraordinary. David 🔥

Going to give this one a go as my next project. Have the burl on its way, need to order the ZAP 5-Minute, and find some dried flower kits. Everything looks pretty self explanatory - any tips before starting?

I get this question a lot across my socials. How strong is the bond between wood and resin. As you can see here, using a little off cut from the desk I am working on it is pretty solid. But this why good preparation is important. Removing the bark (this was a live edge slab) or any loose parts to allow the resin to bond with the hardwood.

Cannot believe after all these years this was my first ever attempt top coating a dragon egg like this. Previously it was applied on the lathe then I had to run the lathe for hours to allow the resin to cure to a stage it no longer runs if the lathe stops. With this method I can finish multiple eggs at the same time without running the lathe. This egg was only sanded to 80grit so saves also plenty of time

So this is my first crack at a river table, and I have some undulations as it's shown in the video, it seems to be anywhere that there was a hole like the river or holes in the wood. It's where the epoxy was deeper than the pour level over the wood. I think the problem is anywhere the pour was deeper it got a little hotter and it cooled differently. Maybe if I had poured a little deeper over the redwood. At any rate should I just lightly sand this and pour bar top over it or should I sand it all really level? I'm thinking it would be OK because bar top is self leveling. How do you feel about a coat of bar topper? Regards Jim. 🐐
