It has been a while since I have done any sort of scrap wood project and since it's spring now, I figured what better time to share with y'all one of my favorite things to turn using it. So I picked out five decent pieces from my new scrap wood shelf and show you from start to finish how I turn one of my favorite items to make using just a few small pieces of scrap wood.

Wow - your “small” scrap wood is bigger than most of my biggest turning blanks! ✌🏻🎨☕️

@brendadriver2702 Месяц назад

I love them all, but the live edge with all that spalting going on is my favorite! Thanks Andrew!

@andrewmccarn Месяц назад

Thats my favorite as well! I think I will be keeping that one for myself lol

@FenMan1985 Месяц назад

That's a great way to use scrap wood. Beautiful planters! And thanks for all the tips, especially the one with epoxy inside of the planters. Cheers!

@andrewmccarn Месяц назад

Thank you & glad I could help!!

@barbfilion5646 Месяц назад

Awesome, me I love the spalted ones turned, especially the live edge. They all looked great and I love your scrap wood.

@andrewmccarn Месяц назад

That live edge one is my favorite as well! Since I have made this video, I have been trying to keep all my live edge scraps for future planters now lol

@karenmaverick8476 Месяц назад

They are all beautiful, ur live edge is my favourite, cactus 🌵 look great too 😊

@andrewmccarn Месяц назад

The live edge is my favorite as well! I appreciate the kind comment!

You taught an old guy a new trick. I had no idea you could use epoxy on the inside of planters like that. I thought the chemicals might leech when exposed to water for long periods of time. Shows what I know. lol. Brilliant as usual my friend.

@andrewmccarn Месяц назад

Im glad I could help! I will say, I typically would wait until full curing though before really using them or selling them but at the end of the day, I have never had a single issue with the epoxy. I made my dad a larger version of this idea for one of his plants a few years ago and its one of best growing plants he has. Maybe plants like the epoxy! haha

@chromeelder3479 Месяц назад

The spalted bowls are beautiful. Nicely done.

@andrewmccarn Месяц назад

Thank you!

@VickiAndersonwoodturning Месяц назад

Definitely the natural edge. Great video.

@andrewmccarn Месяц назад

Thats my favorite as well & thank you for the comment!

@William_Kenny Месяц назад

Beautiful little pot's Andrew nicely done 👍

@andrewmccarn Месяц назад

I appreciate that!

@boydblack9087 Месяц назад

Andrew, great video. My two favorite pots were the short ones. Both because of how well they showed off the spalting and the natural edge feature. I tuned into this video for ideas regarding how to finish the inside of a planter. Thanks for the suggestions and demonstration.

@joeehrlich2898 Месяц назад

Andrew, another great video friend! I had a couple laughs and a cringe. I am sure as being a wood turner, you know the cringe part because we work so hard not to make funnels ! Still very cool! I am always making a project and realize I'm out of something I need to complete it! Obviously, my favorite pot is the spalted natural edge. I have thought about using that nanotechnology wax for water protection over the resin on the inside. That stuff is so expensive though. I look forward to that outboard coring video! Thank you so much for sharing with us! I really like your content!!

My fave is the spalted natural edge. Great idea for scrap wood, meitaki maata. loe your work Andrew

@andrewmccarn 14 дней назад

Thanks John, that ended up being my favorite as well!

@tf484 Месяц назад

Excellent video and great looking pieces. I had thought about trying some pots like this for all the succulents we have. (South Africa is succulent heaven) I think you could probably get away with using cheap 5min epoxy to line the inside of the pots.

@nemoemanon6679 Месяц назад

As a wood turner and avid gardener the more calabash shaped bowls are my preference. The cylinders wouldn’t really work for most plants because they need more horizontal rooting area than depth. Nice idea.

@andrewmccarn Месяц назад

I appreciate the feedback! Would they work better with something like a small cactus like I have here?

@nemoemanon6679 Месяц назад

@@andrewmccarnYes, most house plants need more horizontal space than vertical depth. That’s why most plant pots are almost as wide as they are deep. House cactus plants usually don’t get large so the shape isn’t as important.

@BrickhouseCraftWorks Месяц назад

Great video, brother! Love the pieces!

@andrewmccarn Месяц назад

Thanks bud, I appreciate that! & thank you for the comment!

@padan3729 Месяц назад

Very cool idea! Thanks for sharing!

@andrewmccarn Месяц назад

& Thank you for watching!!

@Chipswoodworking Месяц назад

I have a bowl waiting to be completed that just looks like it should be a planter/pot. I never even thought to use epoxy on the inside, I was wondering what I was going to use. I might have to give the epoxy route a try. Great video!

@andrewmccarn Месяц назад

Go for it! It seems to work really well for lower maintenance plants like succulents but I would like to see how well it holds up to something that needs more consistent care. Let me know how it works out for you if you decide to try it out yourself!
