Glad to see you found your shirt halfway through.

@DerSeppi84 5 лет назад

First thing in my mind... :D

@nimbly1693 4 года назад

I am always gratified to see people comment the same crap I think up. I was gonna say "start out with fiberglass resin and no shirt".

@ErichHaubrich 4 года назад

You, sir, are a master craftsman and wonderful teacher. Cheers. Thank you for this valuable insight and instruction. You have been inspiring my micarta projects for a while. I now teach and share with others.

@DIYeasycrafts 4 года назад

Thank you so much for the positive feedback. really appreciate it.

@PaulHathawayRetired 7 лет назад

Good job! A bright yellow "Scotch Brite" pad plus a red modeling paint might make something that looks like flames!

@DIYeasycrafts 7 лет назад

Im going to have to search for yellow scotch bright pads!!

@jdsol1938 7 лет назад

i have been playing with resin for a long time this is new to me i can hardly wait to use the process you have demonstrated

@SICresinwrks 2 года назад

I may be 4 years late but i love the look of that scotch brite pad in the resin. Now im trying to figure out how to incorporate it into one of my resin projects

@sistersarann3819 Год назад

I have been watching how to make Micarta for 3 days and was so upset. Then I ran across you and wah lah I have hope :) LOLOL Thank you :)

@DIYeasycrafts Год назад

You can do it!

@Eric_Shaun 6 лет назад

thats fucking genious mate - I will try this tomorrow with my worn out scotchbrite i have lying around everywhere

@Gonzo.S.Thompson 6 лет назад

Very cool idea and looks great. I was amazed when I learned how easy it is to make micarta. You can't go wrong with a material that is very strong, looks expensive when done right, and you can make it yourself while spending little money.

@brian-8674 7 лет назад

This was a great idea for micarta and it looks incredible. It looks like colored, stabalized wood but better.

@tbrew8222 2 года назад

Beautiful. I think I like it better stacked on wood rather than I would as a whole scale. The contrast of old/ modern and natural synthetic, really compliments eachother and makes them both stand out. I might try this with blue and green. It may make nice pendants and other items too.

@DIYeasycrafts 2 года назад

Thank you very much!

The Scotch Brite looks awesome!

@turkeycreekknives133 7 лет назад

@DIYeasycrafts 7 лет назад

Thank you. I should really show some of the failures LOL.

I’m making pink handles like this for a friend

@e.collins2768 7 лет назад

@eljefe6758 Год назад

Great video. I will definitely be incorporating this idea. Thanks!

@DIYeasycrafts Год назад

Awesome! Thank you!

@darrellford3279 4 года назад

I really enjoyed this video! A LOT of good information! Ty. I have been reluctant to make my own micarta due to shop size and MESS involved, but this has REALLY tempted me to give it a shot. Thanks again for the information!

@DIYeasycrafts 4 года назад

Go for it!

@mr.mickles 2 года назад

I’ll trying this to make beads. Thanks

@NoahCline 7 лет назад

Really cool. Reminds me of an electric blue. It would make an interesting inlay material for instruments.

@randallsummers6551 4 года назад

Truly cool look to the handle!!! I think mixing it with the wood and brass really set the micarta off!!! Take care and God bless

@andrewfisher1051 5 лет назад

That turned out really good, and with less hassle than some other methods.

@bsrobinson 7 лет назад

Looks great! You sound like a young Stan Lee! Thanks for sharing!

@ishnifusmeadle 4 года назад

Just found this vid. Glad to see how "gangsta" ur shop is. Mines a cluster***k, but i know where everything is. I see so many creators with thousand dollar hammers, bridgeport mills and lathes, huge forge/furnaces all in pristine condition and in perfect spots. Its nice seeing how far one can get with good old fashion elbow grease, alittle creativity and some will. Good job. Ps. Love the safety flip flops 😉

@thatkyleguy1289 5 лет назад

This was amazing!! Thank you for the video, I'm off to the shop. Beautiful blade by the way

@terrypeters3220 7 лет назад

Good idea, Thanks for passing it on I will be giving it a shot soon

@smoakngun 6 лет назад

You might want to use a dusk mask grinding the micarta. Just looking out for you. Great video and the variations are limitless!

@bumstudios8817 7 лет назад

What a genius idea! it turned out great!

@ErichHaubrich 4 года назад

He is so precise and structures his explanations with eloquent and simple phrasing. He has a style that reminds me of my favorite TED talks. I learned how to make micarta from this channel and ones like it. Stay tuned, and go make some cool stuff. It's never 'perfect', and doesn't need to be. Every day you create and explore you get better at both. Cheers, #Maker. Go make! :)

@thomasstarkey7354 6 лет назад

That turned out pretty sweet looking. Been thinking about making my own Micarta for some time now. I kinda like the idea of creating my own unique scales for my blades.

@jaybee6318 7 лет назад

That looks great! I would have never thought to use a Scotch-brite pad.

@Heiryuu 7 лет назад

I hadn't thought of that... I know what I'm buying tomorrow

@dougalexander7204 5 лет назад

Very good craftsmanship. A beautiful knife. Stay awesome.

@schneider1492 7 лет назад

I bet Copper wool miacarda would look awesome.

@DIYeasycrafts 7 лет назад

Tried it. Did not work at all. When you polished the micarta little strands of the wool stuck out. very disapointing

@piperbarlow1672 5 лет назад

@@DIYeasycrafts what if you polished the micarta and then painted resin over it?

@BennyCFD 7 лет назад

Absolutely brilliant. Seriously.

@turkeycreekknives133 7 лет назад

If you learn from things you try that don't work then your ahead of the game from head to hands sometimes something got lost I'm going to try something like that thanks for information..

@Robert-ko6wr 4 года назад

Excellent successful experiment! Thank you for sharing! Well presented tutorial also! Cheers.

@RelativelyBest 7 лет назад

Very pretty for something so simple. Nice work.

@LetsPrepTogether 7 лет назад

Great idea! I will have to try that out!

@ErichHaubrich 4 года назад

Check out your local #Makerspace. You can be working on stuff like this any time you want. It made my life happier as well as more interesting. Lately I fall asleep thinking about prototype project parts to make on the CNC or collaborative projects with the other #makers. Do a search. If you can't find a makerspace (or similar situation) close to your location then you can easily join the online maker community, find other makers, and #MakeOne. It is very worth the effort to have a space to pool resources, share creativity, and make ideas into actual things, that you can hold in your hands. Cheers, fellow nerds and makers! :)

@olinseats4003 5 лет назад

some finely shredded gold leaf mixed in would make for a nice faux-lapis look.

@COMICBOOKJEDI1 6 лет назад

I noticed that when you were grinding your handle that you were not wearing so kind of resperator or at the very least a dust mask. Dust from micarta is very toxic . So do your self a favor and were protection ...

Buenísima idea,me suscribo

@paulwilliams819 4 года назад

Would fiberglass resin be strong enough alone or do you need to add materials like cloth, paper, burlap and such? Is it possible to just make solid colors by just adding the modelers paint to the resin?

@DIYeasycrafts 4 года назад

The resin really gets its strength from the fibers. Yes you can use a few drops of paint to color the resin

@michaelsanchez8519 7 лет назад

Very cool idea bud. Now what happens if you mixed a red scotch pad, silver enamel paint, and gold flakes??

@CrashbladeKnives 7 лет назад

Well done.

@JOSEPH-vs2gc 4 года назад

I doubt the blue dye in the skotch brite or in the construction paper will last, for sure its going to fade in to a pale color.

@uninspiredrambler 6 лет назад

I got like 3 huge sheets of scotch brite from a buffer. Wonder if I can use one for a quick and effective sword handle? Like sandwich wrap it around the tang with a overlap seam.

@notlayjeno6258 9 месяцев назад

been searching the internet for micarta made from shiny wrapping paper or even better that wrapping paper that has hologram patterns on it... do you know of any such project and if not would you be willing to try that out???

@DIYeasycrafts 9 месяцев назад

Shinny paper unfortunately will usually not absorb the resin or stick together will. I do not think it would work as micarta. You could always cast it in clear resin

@jamesball7322 7 лет назад

Not bad ,good work

@JeromeBill7718 6 лет назад

May have looked tackey if it was all micarta. I don't know but it looks nice.

@colsoncustoms8994 7 лет назад

huh, that's really cool man.

@JoshuaC0rbit 7 лет назад

It's beautiful but I hate working with Micarta or anything resin-based because the dust is ridiculous. I did kirinite handle scales on my last knife and I'm still cleaning up dust.

@poweredbyestrogen1166 6 лет назад

Could you use a piece of wood for a backing while making this scotch brite micarta? (while you are pressing it and making it).

@bakdrft2009 7 лет назад

clean shop

@DIYeasycrafts 7 лет назад

LOL Clean and organized is something no one has ever accused me of. I spend most of my time just looking for tools!

@sethswain6401 7 месяцев назад

Wax paper? or Parchment paper?

@DIYeasycrafts 7 месяцев назад

I used parchment

@GodseyKnives 7 лет назад

love it, how do you limit air bubbles in material ? thanks for sharing

@GTL5427 7 лет назад

This is so awesome! Thanks for all the info, I really appreciate it. What kind of resin are do you use?

@DIYeasycrafts 7 лет назад

I just used regular fiberglass resin. Got it from Home Depot

@ivengideonv6428 4 года назад

Wow ,ill even say it backwards woW

@BobBlarneystone 7 лет назад

try baking parchment paper instead of waxpaper. It's easier to handle.

@mikeh9037 5 лет назад

Check out scotch brite micarta

@lazyh-online4839 6 лет назад

Any good places to buy the resin online, he said his were from home Depot but none of the hardware places in my little town have any and even the home Depot in the nearest city somehow doesn't know what fiberglass or epoxy resin even is.
