Epoxy Skull with Wood Brain Wood Brain by Lindsay Zuelich In today’s video I’m showing you how I made a life size epoxy skull with a life size walnut wood brain to fit inside. I started by making mini skulls first and figure out what worked and what didn’t. I started by figuring out how to make silicone molds for casting. This took me awhile to figure out which products and methods worked best. I found that using a pressure pot set at 35-40 PSI when making the silicone molds gets all the tiny bubbles out for a perfect casting. I also used the pressure pot when I poured the epoxy and left it in the pressure pot for 24 hours before de-molding. I used Total Boat thickset for the epoxy, which worked great. I used BBDINO platinum silicone 1:1 mold making for making my silicone molds. Once I figured out the epoxy skulls I moved onto making wood brains to fit inside on my OneFinity CNC. I then used a Dremel to carve out the underside of the brain so that they fit in the epoxy skulls just rig

In today’s video I’m sharing with you how I made a wooden arch backdrop for a friends wedding, using a jigsaw, miter saw, circular saw, and a scroll saw. Wood Brain by Lindsay Zuelich I started by making a circle jig for my Dewalt battery powered jigsaw. Then I cut a 1/2" thick 4'x8' sheet of plywood down to 3'-6"x 7' which made it more manageable to work with and move around with. I used the cut left over piece from the plywood to build a base for the backdrop. I framed it out with 2x4's to give it more weight. I installed heavy duty L-brackets to the base and added two 2x4 pieces to the backdrop to give myself something to drill the L-backets into. Once everything was built I painted the backdrop with a white primer. while that dried I move on to cutting out the wood lettering for the backdrop. I used an over head projector to size the lettering and traced letters onto the wood I would then cutout on my scroll saw. I made each word to cut out more manage
