Epoxy Skull and Walnut Wood Brain


Epoxy Skull with Wood Brain


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 right. I finished the wood brains with Total Boats Wood honey, which really brought out the colors of the wood brain. It took a lot of trial and errors to get the final results but over all I’m very happy with how they turned out. I’ll have a limited run of the epoxy skulls and wood brains for sale on my website. I hope you enjoyed this video and found some useful information. Thanks for checking out the how the project turned out over all.

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...
