Epoxy Skull and Walnut Wood Brain

Image
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

How To Build An ARCH Backdrop

Image
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

Wood Brain Documentary

Image
Check out this youtube documentary that Justin Call Me Mabie made of me. Call Me Mabie Lindsay Zuelich, otherwise known as Wood Brain, is a maker from Torrance, California who makes MAGIC with her hands. Lindsay quickly recognized that woodworking was a growing interest of hers after originally aiming her career towards that of an interior designer. However, the passion for making with her hands led her in other directions. Wood Brain is now a successful YouTube channel and Instagram account where Lindsay catalogs her crazy builds while showing audiences how they're done along the way. Her projects and content are vast and offer something for everyone. Lately, she has become more experimental as a maker and has dedicatedly spent significant time developing new skills and new products, especially geared towards epoxy resin. Becoming a full-time woodworker, maker, and content creator didn't come easy but it is definitely paying off in the Wood Brain universe. Enjoy meeting Lindsa

Ultimate Garage Makeover With Xyla Foxlin

BEFORE Check out my YouTube video of the transformation of Xyla‘s garage while you’re at it check out her video as well. Ultimate Garage Makeover Wood Brain by Lindsay Zuelich In today’s video I’m sharing with you how I helped transformed my friend @xylafoxlin newly rented garage into a bright and functional workshop. Because Xyla is renting but has a one year lease, we wanted to try and do as many renter friendly things as possible, and we ran all the other ideas by her landlord in advance for approval. We started by giving the garage a really good cleaning then painted the rafters of the garage with white paint. We opted to not insulate the walls … I KNOW!… I’m sure I’ll hear about it in the comments. But we didn’t insulate. After we put the walls up (without the insulation) we painted the walls white and hung wallcontrol on the areas that we wanted to hang tools. Once the walls were addressed we tackled the floors. The rear section of the shop has some weird floor damage to the co
