Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
The epoxy fad needs to go.
Damn, thats a lot of work for a really shitty payoff.
Seems like it'd be faster and get the same result if he just poured epoxy straight into a spoon mold.
all I can think of was wow look at all that microplastic.
This sucked.
Alright... I'll bite. These are terrible, ugly spoons made using an incredibly inefficient, pointlessly time consuming method. Also apparently some types of pine cone are toxic and that goop he poured into the mold is what exactly?
Wow, that was a lot of time, effort, and wasted epoxy to make something that's going to sit inside of a coffee can unnoticed by most of your guests unless they watch you go in to scoop out some grounds.
To my knowledge, epoxy is extremely difficult and nearly impossible to recycle and it isn't biodegradable.
I just can't appreciate the final product after seeing the amount of waste produced from it. The craftsman is very skilled and made a pretty spoon. Honestly, I would rather see him carve a spoon out of an entire tree over this. At least the wood chips and saw dust could be reused in other things. Or not, it's biodegradable so even if you do nothing with the waste, you're still doing better for the environment than this.
Don't wear a ring while working a lathe. I get with his application the risk is still low, but just eliminate all risk.
There used to be this Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck Loony Toons cartoon where the loggers were cutting down trees, and they'd go into this factory, the entire tree would be consumed and a solitary (metal?) spoon would come out the other side.
It looked so wasteful, but even at a young age I understood that wasn't how resources like that were actually used, until I watched this.
All that one time use plastic, the resin, the energy used to compress that cylinder, the spinning, mostly thrown away to make two spoons... :/
