I made a guitar out of LEGOs and epoxy resin, aka – the Legocaster!! I’m so excited to share this Lego epoxy guitar build. I had no idea how the Legos would hold together with the epoxy resin, but in the end, I think the guitar came out pretty sharp looking. The most challenging part of this guitar build was creating a solid guitar blank from the Legos and epoxy. I put the Lego pattern on a backplate, and put the Legos face down into a partially cured layer of epoxy, then poured more epoxy to halfway cover the Legos. After this epoxy cured, I could remove the backplate that was holding the Legos together, pour more epoxy resin over them to fill in the backs of the Legos. While the epoxy was still fluid, I added a second layer of Legos, and finally came back to fill in the entire form with resin. After I had the epoxy Lego guitar blank, I could just use standard woodworking processes for guitar building, to shape the guitar from the epoxy Lego blank. I also added some custom Lego touches with a truss rod cover made from Lego base plate, and replacing the knobs on the guitar tuners with Legos. // FOLLOW ME \\ o Instagram: @modustrialmaker - o Blog: // ROCKLER TOOLS \\ o Pro Lift Router Table Insert: o Drill Press Fence (w/ T-Track table plans): o Cast Iron Top: o Pro Fence: o Router Table Base: o T-Track Clamps: o T-Track: o Bench Cookies: // HIKOKI / METABO HPT TOOLS \\ o Multivolt cordless Miter Saw: o Multivolt cordless Angle Grinder: o Router: o Router: o Drill & Impact Driver Kit: // INVENTABLES CNC \\ o Sign up for FREE EASEL account: o Inventables X-Carve CNC: // SPRAYWAY – Silicone Spray (Epoxy mold release): // EPOXY \\ GET 20% OFF Total Boat with the CODE: “MODUSTRIAL” (when purchased through ) o Total Boat Thick Set Epoxy Resin: o Total Boat High Performance 2:1 Epoxy Resin: o Vacuum Pot: o Vacuum Pump: o Torch: // EPOXY POLISHING PRODUCTS \\ o SurfPrep 5” random orbit sander: o SurfPrep 4”x3” rectangular random orbit sander: o SurfPrep foam sanding pads (to 320 grit): o Wet sanding discs (800-2000 grit): o Trizact Sanding Pad 3000 grit: o Trizact Sanding Pad 5000 grit: o Rubbing Compound: o Finishing Compound: Thanks to Hikoki, Rockler, Inventables, Total Boat, Sprayway, and SurfPrep, for supporting the channel and making this build possible. #lego #guitar #guitarbuild #epoxy #epoxyresin #resin #resinguitar #epoxyguitar #legoguitar
