Simulating Embossed Metal With Cardstock and Epoxy
Vložit

- As part of a commission for Suicide Girls, I needed to recreate an embossed metal plate for a vintage candy machine. So, I took a gamble on MDF, cardstock and epoxy resin to replicate the raised type.

OTHER NOTES
▶ I used plain manila file folders for the cardstock, which I cut using my old Craftwell eCraft plotter.
▶ Before coating the type with epoxy, I actually added a fourth layer of cardstock off camera for a little more depth.
▶ Before painting the cured epoxy, I cleaned it with soapy water and sanded it with 320 grit.
▶ To rust the iron paint (see above), you can use Modern Masters' own Rust Activator solution, but I use a simple mixture of 1 part white vinegar, 4 parts hydrogen peroxide, and salt.

I had to subscribe when you said "It's a hundred and balls degrees in here". Great skills and a great sense of humor.
John Hansen Isn’t 100 and “balls” an engineer joke (wordplay)? My father is a civil engineer and he uses that term when we’re measuring and doing projects together. It always makes me chuckle.
Paul Lewis yes, balls meaning double zero usually.
I subscribed for the same reason :) oh and also the skills and stuff
You are putting so much effort into these videos that it blows my mind. Love your style
I almost forgot about this style of 3D printing. In high school, I took an engineering class. One project we had take a piece of Lego, modeled it in software, used a slicing software and plot cutter, and built the layers up in much the same way.
Not really 3d printing in today's standards however. Still very much the same idea
Exceptional job. I love the oxidizing paint.
That is a great idea. I had not thought of that before. Thanks for sharing.
You are too cool for one CZcams host. Not a lot of endless chatter, no techno music with fast forward video... I wish I had teachers in school like you and I might have been a multi-millionaire at age 21; que sera... AND you're doing work for the Suicide Girls, DAMN!!!
Nice technique. Really digging your videos man.
I'm so glad you did the 2x4 vid. It's how I found you and I spent a few days watching your entire back catalog. You are an AMAZING craftsman and a great camera personality to boot... stack that on top of excellent vidiography and editing skills and DAMN you habe a great channel.
I also found him by the 2x4 challenge and have also gone though a bunch of backlog videos. I am honestly surprised that Wesley isn't more popular given the quality (and that he has kept with making these videos with only a few hundred subscribers for so long...) Hopefully things start taking off for him CZcams wise.
Dude this is awesome. You're super talented to come up with this and execute it.
I’m not at this level but I’m learning to reproduce things for old equipment. Thank you!
Liked and subscribed.
i was inspired by this and recently set up a simulated embossed logo for my archery case using a similar method, but with laser printed paper, spray glue and wood glue. came out incredibly well!
"A hundred and balls degrees".......I was laughing SO hard! You've made my day with that alone! But your video was quite exciting as well!
So clever, its almost 'naughty' - brilliant!
Awesome work
I wish I could like this more than once. That technique and the results are amazing.
You're definitely among my top five favourite You Tube channels since I started following you a couple of years ago. Great imagination .
Beautiful work, I love these old mechanical vending machines and it’s nice to see them repurposed.
Wow looks downright perfect! Very impressive!
wow! layering that card stock was meticulous work. great job. it looks amazing.
100 and balls degrees in here, thats all i needed to here to hit subscribe, haaaaa
Congratulations on all of your new subs! Your work speaks for itself and I won't be the least bit surprised when you hit 100k.
Maybe Dave Wes deserves **Doctor No voice** One MILLION!!
What an amazing arsenal of skills you possess...
I see that this is an older video but the finished product you made is impressive. Very creative solution.
Man this guy is a regular badass. I love seeing people with a completely different skill set then mine.
Tha's the coolest sounding machine ever! (The vinyl cutter?)
It's oddly soothing, isn't it?
Beautiful work and I live by Cooperstown and it was cool to see the card you have
I dont know of yours can but my vinyl cutter can do thicker things like craft foam. I have seen craft foam with an adhesive backing that you may be able to use to get the thickness you want. Would solve having to line so many layers up and wouldnt soak up the epoxy in the same way and get jagged on the ends. Not speaking from experience but may be worth a try.
Neat project! That machine is looking great!
Every video you make makes me smile. Great job and thanks for sharing your successful experiment with all of us. Joel.....
"Its 100 and balls degrees in here" is the single statement that earned a sub today LOL!
God bless you for not destroying that old machine and respecting it’s integrity by not making changes that can’t be undone to it!!!!!
That old thing is so cool! Professional results - well done!!
I'm very happy I happened upon your channel. Looking forward to checking out more of your projects. Love your style of presentation!
That is Amazing technique(S)! Thanks for sharing it.
That was a great job you did. Can not tell the difference.
So glad I'm not the only one who tends to get a little overzealous when hammering back on paint can lids, lol
Very cool solution. Bravo
Dude you made me subscribed ..I like your sense of humor , I think 💭
You are a genius, a true alchemist! 🇬🇧
Nicely done. That plotter makes wonderful sounds.
You gave me a great idea on how I can use my powerplasma cutter to create some unique designs. Thank you.
Very entertaining, the video editing and progressive audio is fantastic. Really quite professional. It's like if Norm Abram was born with a sense of humor. Subscribed.
That looks fantastic, super accurate.
That is very cool. Nice work.
you are amazing. I just found your channel a few days ago and have been binge watching. Thanks for sharing
This guy is awesome. Cool, interesting little projects. Great narration and humor.
Thank you. SUBSCRIBED. 👍🏼
I love what you do. I could watch all day.
Wow, the weathering is identical!
Lmao I lost it at "100 and balls" I live in Houston so I know that heat
nice work of art
Wow I saw that work in person in L A at their office ! Awesome stuff .
Looks great!
LOVE THIS VIDEO!! I would love to see more videos on items that you make, but make them look like they came from the 40's and 50's. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
Audio problem was on my end. Awesome stuff. Cheers! Chris.
100 and balls degrees in here!!! LMAO Dude you are amazing!! my new favorite tuber!
Nice project with great result. Subscribed.
great job ... just wow
Nice Stoner machine with gum wheel... You can sell that Fresh Candy piece on eBay if you still have it .. hard piece to find. You do great work..
I stored it in the bottom of the machine. I felt they should stay together.
You are my new favorite person, lol. Love these videos. Learning a LOT and laughing my ass off
Smart man amazing talent
I'm coming to the party late but I'm thoroughly enjoying your vids!
VERY WELL DONE!
Very impressive.
Dude that was amazing
Woah, Wesley, some really... *old-school* language there. Pepperidge Farm remembers.
I'm gonna have to use this method, with corresponding high temp materials to try and do some valve covers.
I have missing part of the shelf, would u like tonoake close up look?
This looks awesome! You are quickly becoming my wife and I's favorite CZcams maker.
Fantastic skill. I staying around for more.
OMG that is amazing!
You're a gigantic badass Wesley. Diresta ain't got nothin' on you.
GoHawks Diresta is child’s play compared to this guy!
Both are great... its all about the willingness to get out and make stuff!
Great job
I laughed out loud so many times in this awesome vid
You're an artist, thumbs up !
Man I thought your vids were great! Watched every one the 1st day I found the channel! Keep up the great work and I'll keep watching! Peace!
I gotta say I really am surprised how close to the original that turned out. Most of the time getting something to just look good is hard but getting something to replicate the look of an aged material takes it to a whole different level.
Great job! Greetings from Portugal!
Nice job! That came out really well in the end. BTW, it would be nice if you would mention some of the extra detail in the video, rather than just pointing to the notes. Nothing wrong with a bit of a voice-over. Watching through your back catalog here.
I forgot that I found this channel glad i subscribed
this was the best 'how to' video ive seen in ages, brilliant, just found it by luck, regards man
Nice job! That was fun!
that's abolutely awesome! Great job on this project. Greets from a new sub from Germany
Hi Wesley love all your videos you have amazing talent keep up the good work
Is a hundred and balls a metric or Kelvin measurement?
Brilliant!
So great! Congrats!
Great job on this! Just subbed.
Very talented man .
Liverpool UK here 😉
holy moly... and you have ALL THE TOOLS
Very cool process here
I really need to buy myself one of those cutting machines.
Finished product is awesome 👍
Road trip? Ooh, stop at Carlsbad Caverns if you haven't been.
Noticed the machine is vintage, but the business card stated "Cable TV" LMAO Have to wait another 20 years before cable becomes vintage!
That's a cute cutter.
cool job!
That's amazing man!
You are so rad!
Can you tell me what the machine was that you used to print the graphics?? Some sort of stencil cutter?
Maquinas para tudo deve ser cansativo kkk bom trabalho
Your the guy people ask if you can make something for them? ,. And you say, "Hey im already half way done" !. 🤯
What was that cutting machine?
