How to make a beautiful thing out of production waste? The master makes various objects from wood and epoxy. In the manufacturing process, waste remains that the master decided to use again.
Tools and materials:
-Wood epoxy waste;
-Press mold for casting;
Epoxy resin;
-Libra;
- Sticks for stirring;
-Plastic glasses;
-Color;
-Glue;
-Plastic bag;
-Varnish;
-Set for the manufacture of ballpoint pens (upper and lower parts);
-Plastic container;
-Compressor;
-Camera for casting;
-Set for polishing;
-Lathe;
-Band-saw;
-Cutters;
-Drilling machine;
Step One: Form Preparation
Waste must be cleaned of dust and dirt. Then the author puts them into the mold.
Step Two: Casting
Knead epoxy according to instructions. Pours into several glasses. Adds different colors to glasses. Pours resin into the pockets of the mold in layers. Residues from the resin master fill the scraps in a plastic container. Puts the mold and plastic container in the chamber. Under pressure, air bubbles escape from the resin.
Step Three: Turning
After solidification, the resin removes the workpiece. A band saw cuts the tile (from a plastic container) into four parts. In the blanks makes a through hole. Sets the workpiece in a lathe. Chisels give blanks a shape. Sanding the workpiece with sandpaper. At low speeds, it covers the workpieces with super-glue. After the glue dries, it polishes the workpiece and varnishes.
The middle part of the handle is ready.
Now you need to install the lower and upper part.
Such a beautiful and exclusive thing can be made from seemingly garbage.
You can see the manufacturing process of the pen in more detail in the video.
