What did you cut on your Shapeoko/ Nomad today?

@robinhartleywillows

First off…I enjoyed the video! I picked up a few ideas for my shop and learned some stuffs. And it was a great chill video.

I’m always curious how people handle epoxy:

  1. How deep was your carve for the epoxy to fill?
  2. Did you find you had to do two coats of epoxy to get the grooves “full”?
  3. Have you you ever used a planer to surface the epoxy?
  4. How did you finish surface it? 220 grit sandpaper?
  5. Have you tried other finishes? Polyurethane?

I love doing this technique… epoxy in a carve. Fantastic looking coasters!

A couple follow up questions after the video.

  1. Have you done other coasters in the past? And if so long term how did the thinness of the wood hold up? Any problem with warping?
  2. Could you share pics of your shop set up here?
