Popular Post Jaguarguy Posted March 30, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 I just did this Steve Good 3D puzzle. Pretty quick cutting. I had the most difficulty actually putting it together after I finish cutting!! He had posted the pattern yesterday - today he had a video on how to put it together! I also have been working on a charcuterie board with epoxy river (I know - not a scroll saw project - but fun anyway!). Pics of both sides of the board.

RabidAlien Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 Nice!!! Saw the puzzle yesterday, considered downloading it but then looked at the pile of other patterns....LOL Looks like a quick, fun cut, may have to print it out for a frustrating day when I just need a project to complete. LOVE the cutting board. Someone needs to do a video and post it up in the training section of the forum (cough, cough)! Jaguarguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the first cutting board AND the first time I have ever used epoxy - so it isn't that difficult. I'll try to video next time I try one.

I didn't get a good seal on the base, apparently, and the color flakes I mixed in clumped up and just piled up everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition to accurately measuring, I think the key is to stir it good, then stir it again, and then finally stir it again. When did you stir in the color flakes? I put them in after my four times stirring - and then I stirred that four times. It took 5 days for it to cure in the mold.

pet-design Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 I think I must make the puzzle for my grand daughter....and avoid that my wife sees the board! Very well done! Jaguarguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It leaked all over my cardboard box before it had a chance to set up. I'd sealed the bottom with shelf contact paper (it was a round mandala pattern I'd cut and had no idea what else to do with it, so no open ends, no need to build a mold). I stirred the heck out of it, it was the sealing that did me in. I'll check Amazon and take a look at the IceCast Epoxy, maybe give it another shot.

I purchased a mold from Black Forest Wood Company ( https://blackforestwood.com/collections/reusable-epoxy-resin-form/products/reusable-epoxy-resin-form-rectangle ). It was easy to use and board came out fairly easy after a whack with a rubber mallet on the bottom (their recommended method). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
