Sawill log pond poured

I did some more work on the sawmill pond & complex.

I added some wood chip debris around the log dump and glued in place with artist gloss medium. I also add around the pond surface, since there would be a lot of debris (hunks of bark etc.) floating around the pond.

After the gloss medium dried

I cut logs in half for the pond surface and hot glued them down, then coated them all with gloss medium, since they would be wet from rolling around the pond.  I also added gloss medium to the surface of the jack slip and the logs on the jack slip.

Then after everything dried I did the Envirotech lite pour. (Actually two pours 16oz each, totaling 32oz. )

And now I wait with it covered, to protect it from dust for a day until it sets up.

Its a work of art Al. Should be in the Albright.

I grew up in Oregon, thats how it looks.

That really looks good!

Thank you guys. I hope it sets up well. The good news was I didn't spring any leaks.

Looks great Al! Okay, now I’m convinced you’ll be on the tour! You’ll be happy to know I’ve taken the first step to installing my turntable! 

That looks awesome Al, very realistic. Good job!

Thanks Jim and Mark. 

Jim, I’m not doing the tour this year, next year. Glad to hear you are getting to the turntable. I was going to call you and see if you wanted to stop over. I am going to start working scenery this coming week.

I’ll take you up on that! Give me a call when you get a chance.

Beautiful! 

Yeap! Beautiful work. 

It is nothing short of tremendous. Awesome work. 

Al, super nice work!

Again the sawmill is truly fantastic.

Thank you everyone. It was a bit nerve racking doing the pour. I have never done a water pour before and was worried I would spring a leak. I was also surprised in the amount of resin needed, since I only planned on doing an 1/8" pour over the area. I'm going to add some Mod Podge later today after resin is dry to add some ripples around some of the logs and a splash where the log is coming down the log dump where it is hitting the water.

Really nice work! Was the saw mill a kit?

Thanks Sean,

Yes it was. Made by B.T.S. they have an Encore version of the kit. It's called the Coon Gap sawmill.
