Milliput Bowl Inlay
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 06. 2024
- Start with a hunk of walnut firewood, and add some two part epoxy putty and you've got a very striking looking bowl! Milliput is awful sticky stuff to work with, but it's hard to argue with the results!
A very interesting inlay and some new material to play with.

"nothing sticks to parchment paper"
10 seconds later the black milliput stuck to the paper
Many Thanks for the shout out Peter, your bowl looks great, I thought it would turn out fine, they often look a bit muddy after you've packed it into the wood. I tend you use sanding sealer before placing the Milliput, then less dust gets into the pores of the wood. It is tricky to work with but you get used to it. Milliput has so many creative possibilities ! All the best, Jim.
Jim, thanks for introducing us all to this technique! I think it's got loads of potential. I like the sanding sealer idea! I ended up using a sewing pin while watching TV to pick out a bunch of the stubborn bits the air didn't get out....
Thanks again Peter. I have got another video on coloring Milliput coming out soon, which I think you will find interesting ( if it works as well as I am hoping ). I'm glad Pyro Wife didn't get your bowl. All the best, Jim
I noticed a few people suggested wetting your fingers to stop it sticking, this works Ok if you are using a single colour but it is not good with wood or working with 2 colours, the water and Milliput can produce a coloured slurry that will get well into the grain and it will blur the colors. Smoothing with a wet finger works very well when using Milliput for general repairs ( I repaired a birdbath this afternoon using that technique). Cheers, Jim
+Jimson's Stuff Seconded! I read all those 'wet your hands' comments and thought 'then he'll have hands covered in milliput gunge'. And if you thought dry milliput dust in the wood pores was a bother...
Theres this other stuff called sugru. Im not sure if its really usable in the applications but id like to see an attempt with it. And to all of you guys including Carl. I really enjoy watching your work. You guys have amazing talent. Peter you particularly have been very inspirational for me. I have done a bit of work with wood myself but nothing like your work. I have never had the opportunity to turn wood. I will get there eventually. Thanks for the awesome stuff to watch.
Wow, that finish really made the putty-pattern pop.
I was about to say that myself and I highly agree.
Thanks! Yeah, the walnut really darkens up with a little poly!
I was waiting for the putty to catch on the tool and come off
Me too and I was afraid it would happåen. I'm glad it didn't.
+TheDepsey "happåen" lol
Yeah I work with clay so it made me so anxious to see him doing that XD
Todomo but milliput doesn’t behave like clay.
thats because its NOT clay, its epoxy.
I'm imagining Rob from ThreadBanger trying to do this stuff and chopping his hand off
First Name Last Name Just the hand?
First Name Last Name knowing rob, he'd probably lose both hands and a toe somehow
First Name Last Name and he would get blinded by the shavings
First Name Last Name or he would die from inhaling the wood and milliput savings
I think Corinne would try to help him
Given the weird shit you _normally_ turn on that lathe, I'd say the wood is the weird material here! :D
That 'put looks fabulous, I gasped audibly when you applied the wipe-on PU. the shine from it!
Thanks! It was fun to turn a wood bowl again!
Peter Brown I bet while turning you was all "Man this feels WEIRD. I mean, I can breath properly and everything!" :P
PyroWife would be a great name for a metal band
You know you're a wood worker when you get jealous of a piece of wood given to a CZcamsr by someone....lol...i want that slab!!
haha me too
Firewood* lol even worse.
you can dip your finger tips in water to keep the milliput from sticking, mostly modelers use it
So many memories of smoothing out green stuff with water lol
+Captain Limabean I always used vaseline for green stuff, and this milliput seems pretty similar--a pain to work with initially, but pretty great results
i always use very soapy water to work with epoxi putty, silicone, sugru and the like. also works great for cutting rubbery materials, that like to grip blades
I was brought up just to use spit. My dad's weird.
spittle works great, but uncured epoxi isnt particularly healthy, even though it smells oddly tasty
Very nice. I like the way you got a natural-looking pattern from an artificial material -something about that contrast of ideas really pleases me. I wonder if the Milliput can be rolled into strands, then braided to produce a basket-like pattern when cut back...
That would be really cool looking!!
"we're going to try something interesting", like I come to this channel for anything else
Hi Peter, if you ever get that problem again where the dust is filling the pores - just wipe on a coat of sanding sealer, or shellac and then once its dry carry on sanding (or start sanding). The sanding sealer or shellac fills the pores and stops the contamination, this also works on woods with contrasting colours.
I was thinking the same ;)
That's a good tip, George. I had an issue like that a while ago. The sanding sealer would have solved it. Thanks!
Thanks for the tip! I have it sometimes when I'm wet sanding knife handles. The 600 grit fills the pores of the wood especially with ash or other light woods it looks really ugly
Peter!! You're on the CZcams trending page!!! Congrats 😀
WhooHoo!
+Peter Brown why do you put those 2 lines on the bottom of the bowl
visual interest for one, and secondly, that's where I will end up signing the bowl. imgur.com/a/vMsDp
Peter Brown thank you for answering
+Peter Brown I have an idea! Do leather with epoxy for a video.
Does your family use the dishes and such that you make? Or are they more like display pieces?
We use a lot of the things I make. Drunken cutting board, batman spatula, salt lamp, HDPE scoop, tissue paper night light, but this bowl is just for decoration....
Gorgeous piece. Love the natural pattern of the grain. And you aren't the only one who gets excited about receiving pieces of wood from people. My mother gets super excited when she receives fence posts and pallette boards lol.
Spiffy.
Please note that different Milliput "colors" are actually different materials. White one is super-fine grain sculpting putty, while black one is meant for high-temperature environment (say, filling holes in boilers and stuff). I'm happy You actually managed to make it work.
I would add one thing - a ring of putty known as Green Stuff (Kneadatite) inside rim, as sort of glue to the wood. Green Stuff is actually a little rubbery, so not very fit for direct tooling... but it sure does great work at sticking other epoxy putties to any material.
btw, You can dye Milliput with water-based concrete dyes - I have few globs of "filler" component dyed in different colors, it helps me with sculpting layers over layers of details for wargaming miniatures.
Thank you for the great information.
I have a load of epoxy pigments and dyes, I bet they would work too. I'm sure I'll give them a go at some point...
All I could think at the beginning was the shavings flying off when you are turning it looked like Coco pebbles cereal. I'm so pregnant...
*shavings
Congratulations
Congrats.
LOL
hahahaha congrats on the baby but that's funny.
I can see Milliput using this as a commercial XD
Milliput: STICKS TO EVERYTHING!!!
Silicone? Sticks to it!
Parchment Paper? Sticks to it!
Walnut? Sticks to that!
Fingers? Sticks to them!!!
Awesome, Peter! The result exceeded expectations! Very cool, I love such contrasts. Applaud your creativity!
There is a special moment when I return to my computer, fire up the old youtube, and see a new video from Mr. Brown! Thanks so much!
that's a really nice bowl! man I need a lathe
Go get one! Its great!
If you are anywhere near a Grizzly store. I got a 500 dollar Shop Fox lathe for 70 bucks at their tent sale. I am not sure what the deal was but it came with a bag of enough stuff to make a fully functioning lathe.
Man, using walnut as firewood seems like such a waste. It is such a beautiful wood.
Richard Smith doesn't burn worth a crap either
Richard Smith That's America for you those people are tripping over beautiful trees that make amazing blocks of wood. I would love to go over the pond to buy a load of wood
Yeah, i know it's a terrible firewood which makes it worse. The big problem with walnut though is how knotted up it can be. Gives it character but can make some felled trees difficult to work with.
+leuan Hunt Walnut is not a rare tree over here in the US, so it's pretty common to see it in someone's stack of firewood.
Wow. That looks amazing, especially after finishing. I don't mean that surprised tone against you, by the way. I was worried it was gonna come out badly when you first put the milliput into the groove. I'm glad it didn't. Nicely done sir.
I was pretty surprised too! Thanks!
That came out fantastic! Love the look and the experimentation!
Awesome mate. love how this one came out. ive done a few of these also. some came out ok and some not.. haha. but I agree this stuff sticks to everything. but its a great product. All the best
I just checked out your video! Nice work man!
Thanks buddy, I really appreciate that
You are both awesome turners and both so much fun to watch. You're both wonderfully nutty
Coming back to this years later…still such a good bowl. Nicely done!
always love when wood gets worked on. the epoxy stuff is great but sometimes the basics are needed.
I don't how much more you've worked with Milliput or if you've moved away from it, but as someone who builds model and miniatures you become quite familiar with two part epoxy putties. Keep a container of water on hand for when you're working with the stuff; water will help it to not stick to things like tools, the table, you, etc. Some people have suggested using petroleum jelly, but as I've not tried it I can't say one way or the other about how effective this is.
If you like turning wood. Then you might enjoy a pottery wheel.
I absolutely love woodwork. Especially on the lathe and bandsaw.
These videos are really satisfying and ,in a way, inspiring
I saw Jimson's videos last week, and I totally thought, "This seems like something Peter Brown would do!" So I was pretty excited to see this! Great job, it's lovely!
you should seal a flower in epoxy
You should try to turn a mini bowl. With mini tools. A mini challenge lol
this is why I love your channel, an experiment that turned out so beautiful. a person could make those for years and do really well at craft shows.
The contrast between the putty and the walnut is really sharp. Such a cool material. Love these videos!
thanks!
i imagine a little water on your fingers might make the putty not stick so much, or maybe even stick it in the freezer for a couple hours (of course, that may completely destroy the hardening properties of it, but what do i know.)
oh, and cool bowl!
If you watch the original video he mentioned why using water is a bad idea. Apparently it penetrates the wood and removes the sharp edges.
Sweet bowl Peter. I'd like to know more about your band saw sled.
Thanks Derek. Maybe I can do a review on it a some point. It does have a bunch of clever features...
+Peter Brown yes please
yes please
i'd like to know more about your "donut"
+jim renderer Me too, I love donuts
That is so cool, will go see Jim now. I can't believe you use Walnut as firewood it's like gold here
Not milliput related, but the long shavings from the wood turning, I wonder what they'd look like cast in epoxy and used as a material for turning?
The bowl reminds me of Africa, I can see it next to one of them crazy wooden masks.
agree!
I was thinking Native American
The black and white reminds me of zebra print
I was thinking Native American
Ikr me to
Rich Bowl Inlay Piana is my favourite natural project
Waxed paper is what nothing sticks to. I love the pattern and I applaud your venturing outside your comfort zone and trying new things.
miliput pen?
We demand videos of your fails being burnt
I see how that is interesting. But i also like his succesful projects. This one was awesome, dont you agree?
he has one on his channel! his wife burned some milk plastic he tried
I do like Burn its...
Always cool to see firewood being turned into a masterpiece.
I love this project. The poly made the bowl shine, especially the putty. I hope to see another project with it. I'm glad you've *stick* with the project.
ha!! Nice....
+Peter Brown Thank you. I'll be here all week! XD
Jesus fuck, it must take you eons to clean up after your projects
So, I found you on here and have now watched almost all of your videos. My wife is starting to get tired of hearing me talk about how I "need" a lathe. She may not appreciate you as much as I do.
Been watching peter brown for years and this is by far one of my favourite bowls he has made here.
Every time i see a new video on my feed from you i get so excited! Seeing things come to completion from beginning to end is so fascinating. Keep the videos coming!
I will never have the equipment, finances or skill to do any of these projects but I love watching these videos 😍 gorgeous bowl!
Thank you!
Love this stuff. Made a 13" beech platter with a 10mm black Milliput band and everyone that sees it loves it.
The inlay turned out fantastic, and the end result is beautiful.
I love how you have a picture of yourself in the background. Nice bowl, cool material. Awesome commentary.
A picture of myself? Where?
Thanks Shawn!
+Peter Brown I just realized it was your channel icon that popped up at 7:48 - it looked like it was on your workbench
The milliput looks zebra-striped and cool, but that walnut is some of the most gorgeous wood I've seen in a long time. OMG.
My favorite project on this channel. Love it.
Ooh yeah, that looks amazing. That pattern on the putty is great.
I don't know why I'm so enthralled by all your videos😂I stumbled upon your channel and just realized I've been watching for 3 hours😂👌🏻
It came out really good. The design is absolutely fantastic!
Wow I love this pot! Every time I see one of your videos, I consider turning my garage in a workshop.
You know you're a wood worker when you start looking at your firewood and seeing other things that it can be, and suddenly have a pile of 'potential projects' bigger than the previous firewood pile! I can't imagine even considering burning walnut!!!
I learned a new word - Milliput, and I like it! Thanks Peter!
Nasty stuff, but great results!
This is one of my favorite finished products. Great work, Peter!
That really did turn out with a great look. A win for sure!
I don't even remember how I found your channel but I am so glad I did! Everytime you come out with a new video I get super excited! Keep up the great work!
Amazing work. Milliput is fantastic, I've been using it since the 80's.
That came out fantastic. Really like the sharp contrast.
That turned out really awesome Peter, nice work! I was a little worried halfway through too, but I had the advantage of seeing the thumbnail beforehand! Thanks for sharing a cool product and project!
LOL, that's so true about the firewood! I've found myself making a "Check the grain" pile when I'm splitting my wood haha!
I love the "get it off my fingers" pattern lol
Wow, that bowl looks fantastic. Good work Peter!
My brother used to use milliput to modify model cars, it is very versatile stuff.
would love to see more wood carved items, they always look really nice.
I watch you all the time and I'm finally starting to mess with wood more! best best thing besides the sense of accomplishment is the smell
Wow! Really love how it turned out!
It's so satisfying to see wood turned on the lathe
Yes more milliput! Great looking bowl.
I think a bit of cornstarch on your fingers will help with the sticking. It sure works for polymer clay- we use to "fill in" your finger print so you don't have a finger-printy finish , but also as a release agent for silicone moulds.
I love the finished piece though! Has a very tribal feel to it!
I like the cornstarch idea! I'll give that a go.
Peter Brown Water also works as a release agent for polymer clay, but depending on the material it could make it more sticky. I think cornstarch would be the safer option.
"...My Pyro wife" Lol! Great project! Congrats on your success. You made it look fun!
Great job. I really like the way it turned out. Can't wait to see what you do with the Milliput next.
Oh wow. That is absolutely gorgeous.
Dude, Peter, that looks awesome! The combination of the random black and white next to the Walnut is amazing!
Keep up the good work!
That bowl is beautiful, you're so clever!
The end result looks incredible!
"I *really* like it, I was *really* worried, I thought it was going to look *really* ugly... but it doesn't". Definitely my favorite Shop Time quote
One of my favorite projects ! It looks great !
I just want to let you know how much I love your videos. I watch quiet a few other people on this site but I always get so excited when a video of yours comes up in my feed. I absolutely love your crazy DIY's and your beautiful wood-working skills. (Contrary to what some may say/have said--I appreciate your one-video-a-week-ish schedule, it makes them that much more special ^u^) Please keep up the good work, and I look forward to your next curious adventure!
What a stunning bowl absolutely gorgeous
Wow, that thing looks amazing!
If it is anything like Apoxie Sculpt, dipping your fingers in a shallow bowl of water will prevent it from sticking so badly. Cool build man! Looks slick!
beautiful work!
You’re so clever Peter, I’ve rewatched this video like 6 times
That came out gorgeous!
When working with Milliput (or similar modelling masses) simply water your tools/hands/table a bit to prevent it sticking. It might dissolve a bit (before hardening it is actually water-soluble), but since you sand of the oute layers it should'n matter. So keep the tools/hands wet with a few drops of water (but keep the Milliput and wood dry so it actually sticks) and you should have far less trouble with it in the future.
Oh and the bowl looks fantastic.
Peter I still love the shavings on the powerbar behind the lathe! ;)
Yeah, I ordered some I can mount easier on the wall. That's just asking for a fire!
+Peter Brown Indeed! But with a "pyro wife" one can never be too careful ... damn life insurance policy! :) Have a great weekend!
beautiful bowl! Strong work, Peter
Perfect looking bowl! You are so creative!
Wonderful job Peter! That bowl looks so damn sweet!
That's such a cool effect, Peter! I always learn so much from watching your videos. Keep up the awesome work!!!
Love your Wood working and miss watching it. Love the crazy stuff, but the wood is just amazing.
That's incredible! It looks really polished.
thank you!
You truly are an artist when it comes to these things. Love the videos keep up the good work!
