Kay 3,709 Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 In the last few months I hAve been tatting with epoxy resin . I get cable reel tops from work and fill the holes and put resin on them this is an on going project and takes roughly 3 to 4 weeks to complete . This latest one is 11 1/2 diameter x 3/4 inch deep. I have filled small holes with wood filler and wedged a milk bottle lid in the centre hole which I will fill with resin tomorrow then when it's dry I will cover it in wood filler. Sand it really fill where it needs it before priming it then do my resin work The bottom pic is an 18 inch round I have made for my parents 54th wedding anniversary . It's fast becoming a passion. Thanks for looking 8 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chaff 3,414 Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Very nice Kay, like that I have a mate who does all sorts of weird and wonderful stuff with epoxy resin including a coffee table covered in Penny's which looked amazing so we are now without a coffee table in the house as I'm prepping it to try and do the same 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have you seen the beer bottle top tables as well they look brilliant . This resin stuff is so versatile ain't it. Will you stick a pic of your table on when you have done it 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pesky1972 4,926 Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Nice stuff. I’ve always fancied having a go at making something with resin. Maybe a bit gimmicky but the turned bowls using coloured pencils look smart. I like this guy’s guitar too. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
