YouTube Content About Interesting Epoxy Subjects and Interests

I am the leader of a Special Interest Group (SIG) for the San Diego Fine Woodworkers Association (SDFWEA) the focuses on Epoxy.  The SDFWA Epoxy SIG focus is epoxy as it is used in woodworking.  With that said, we do not limit our discussions to just that area.  

I have only a limited set of experiences in what I do, but I do watch lots of YouTube videos on various interesting epoxy projects.  As such, I decided to put a list of YouTube Content Creators together on things I find interesting relative to epoxy projects.  

I plan on expanding this list of YouTube Resources to other areas in the future, but this list is focused on epoxy projects.  It is not even close to being exhaustive but things that catch my eye, tickle my fancy, or I believe the SDFWA Epoxy SIG members may be interested in seeing.  As such, I figured if they are interested in seeing these things, other people interested in epoxy may also be interested and decided to share this via this website.

In some cases, you will see specific videos linked up.  These are generally there because I shared the video at one of our EPOXY SIG meetings for easy reference.  I wasn’t always good at capturing each of these. 

If you happen to find something you think I should add to the list, please message me or reach out and I will consider adding it to this list.  The format I chose to use was to explain a little about why I linked the channel and things these Content Creators do well in my opinion.

Below are YouTube Resources for Epoxy Work Efforts:

Individual Videos of Interest

Live Demo- Curtis Seebeck- The Science and Art of Stabilizing and Dyeing Wood  – this video is a presentation at Turners Warehouse in Gilbert, AZ that goes deeply into stabilization of wood, with some quick discussion about dyeing wood at the end.  He ran out of his allotted presentation time so got rushed at the end of the presentation.

https://youtu.be/MiefiXxMdEY?si=A6UIw5dYDQGj1xl0 Video put out by Trotec Lasers about using a laser with epoxy to create art and projects.

https://youtu.be/Py7Ya1rRXU0?si=30y2nISGyF5lRFNK This is a video by Corbin Dunn – a very talented woodworker.  The video shows how he uses a combination of wood and epoxy to carve a heart shaped box on his CNC.  

The effect is pretty awesome.  He does have files and instructions for sale on his website (I bought for $10) if anyone feels adventuresome and would like to try doing this themselves.

I purchased his files and did a similar bowl.  My instructional video on this can be seen at the following links:
