In this video we will
create an interesting table
and try to make the
most realistic picture
of the human eye
from epoxy resin.
But it won’t do without
alterations, mistakes and failures.
This is a must
see, enjoy watching.
In order not to mess up and not
make a mistake with the proportions,
a model was originally drawn up.
And already starting from it we cut
 out the necessary templates.
To simulate the pupil, we cut
out a circle from black plexiglass.
And for the base
we cut 8mm plywood.
Never mind the engraving,
this plywood is
from an old project.
If someone guessed from
which one, write in the comments.
I glue the countertop with
tape along the contour.
In such cases, it’s better to use a
good, more expensive adhesive tape,
You can buy it in
stores with car paint.
This is the easiest
formwork method,
if the resin layer is not
large and the resin is thick,
then this formwork
is the best option.
Then we try on the pupil
and slightly round the edge
so that there is no
clear edge after filling.
A couple of drops of glue,
and now the plexiglass
will definitely not
float away in resin.
For the first layer, I
take the thickest resin -
this is "Extra Honey" -
and tint it abundantly 
with white dye.
As you can see,
this layer is very thin,
a kind of primer, in order
to insulate the plywood,
add colour and
check the formwork.
And it coped with
all 3 tasks perfectly.
And the next day, when
the resin has polymerized,
I matte it with 240 sandpaper.
The next step, I decided to
make an imitation of the capillaries.
To do this, I tint the
resin with red dye
and gradually try to draw
them with a toothpick.
As planned, they
should be voluminous and
subsequently filled in
with translucent resin.
And to look realistic
in theory, but in theory.
In general, I fiddled with them for
half a day, poured with tinted resin
and realized that I was not
at all happy with the result.
In order to make
the iris, I take the ring
that we cut out at the
beginning of the video
and glue it in the same
way as the pupil formwork.
Then we fill in the
same "Extra Honey" resin
and start drawing the iris.
In the process, the resin began to
protrude from under the formwork,
since the hot glue
created a large gap,
and as a result, most
of the resin ran away.
Plus, there was a
mess with capillaries.
And I make a wilful decision
to make everything anew.
[Let's do it again, Misha. 
All is bullsh*t.]
taking into account mistakes and
having some kind of experience.
With the first layers,
everything is the same,
I already put the formwork
on a good layer of sealant.
When the sealant is dry, trim
off the excess and remove.
And again we take up the iris.
In order to make
the picture bigger,
I decided to fill it
in several layers.
The first two layers are white
stains on a black background,
which I tried to
control. Subsequent
layers will already be coloured.
As you can see after
adding coloured resin,
the painting looks more
and more like a real eye.
As a result, after the coloured
layer, we have the following result,
and this is my
favourite stage of work,
since you have to wait a day
before removing the formwork.
And of course this is the time
to get stuck in some TV show.
I recently discovered
a streaming service
with TV series - Filmsclub.tv
Here are collected
series from all streams
(Netflix, HBO, Disney+,
Amazon Prime Video, etc.)
Yes, yes, it's all in one place.
For me personally, the most important
thing is a high-quality HD picture
and no ads of bookmakers,
casinos and other things.
Just like on our channel.
There are also apps
for iOS and Android;
in the app, you can download
serials and watch them later
on the bus, subway...
in general, offline.
Professional actors
of the TVshows studio
work on the
dubbing of the series.
By the way, they also have
their own YouTube channel.
Now, sit down if
you are standing,
since the first two weeks
of watching TV series
will cost you only 1 rubble.
In general, appreciate the convenience
and capabilities of the service.
Register on the
Filmsclub.tv website,
activate a special rate
and watch TV shows
without restrictions for
1 rubble for two weeks.
And we continue,
well, not immediately,
as soon as I finish
watching the season.
After the colour layer
was dry, I decided to add
a little more volume, and
as a result, another layer.
Then a series of
failed experiments.
In general, I made
some porridge and
decided to remove
it until the resin dried,
but I still left a few
successful stains.
Well, now we remove the formwork
and remove the traces of experiments.
I cut off the sharp edge
that remained from the
formwork in order to
get a smooth transition.
Now we need to bring
everything to one level,
for this I use compound 
"Crystal Epoxy" from Artline.
After looking at more than
a dozen photos of the eye,
I realized that there are often
such dark spots on the iris,
and we are trying
to imitate them.
In the final, I stretch
the resin slightly
so that there is no clear edge.
And now let's move on to
the most interesting thing:
I matte the surface, and transfer
the blank into the hands of the artist.
Many thanks to Lena for her
help and participation in the project.
Here is her Instagram,
there are many interesting
works, so take a look.
After the paints have
set, I cover the entire
countertop with a
transparent glossy varnish
so that the paint
doesn’t tint the final
layer of epoxy, and
leave it for a day.
The next day, when the
varnish has already dried,
we remove the pupil formwork.
In order not to remove
traces of sealant and paint,
I tint some resin black
and hide all mess.
Here is such a life hack
from Sanya, make use of it.
When the resin in
the pupil has cured,
fill the entire countertop
with a final thin layer
of the same epoxy
and get this picture.
Personally, I’m
pleased with the result,
but your opinion is
really important to me,
because the videos
are shot just for you.
In general, it even became
somehow uncomfortable
for me to make a
table out of this, since
I think that this is
a complete picture.
But since the table
is already declared,
then I screw the legs to it,
and now you can
evaluate the result.
According to channel
statistics, half of the views
on the channel are views
without a subscription.
Therefore, check the
presence of the bell and,
if interested, look
into my Instagram,
projects are published
there that will never
appear on YouTube
due to the format.
Thanks for watching and
catch positive attacks from Axe.
