@@binghobson7122 thanks Bing. I think these should become a craft fair favourite 🤞

@@megangumkowski3181 Hi Megan. Glad you like the pens. If you’d like one, I’m sure we can sort something out 😊. Please could you mail me at severn.driftwood@gmail.com and we can look at options, thanks, Gareth.

@@mcmilge thanks Megan. These are my first pens and really enjoyed the process, so will definitely be making more 😊

Thanks Bing. Family holiday last couple of weeks, so decided on a compilation as I couldn't take my lathe on the plane 😊

@@binghobson7122 thanks Bing. I agree, but some people, unrealistically, expect pristine. Not always achievable with a natural product that has been floating in the river Severn for goodness knows how long 😂

@@uk_phil a couple of my friends said exactly the same thing when I posted it on Facebook. I am using these comments as inspiration for future projects 😊

@@uk_phil thanks for the suggestion. I do like the improved opening to my new videos. Really appreciate the feedback Phil 👍

@@binghobson7122 Thanks Bing. I get my "non driftwood" from a local timber recycling center, so do sometimes find some nice items 😊

@@megangumkowski3181 thanks Megan. You always leave such nice feedback. It's really appreciated 😍

@@francesjames1520 Thanks Frances. Really appreciate the positive feedback 🙂

@@binghobson7122 thanks Bing. Yes, sticking the felt on the inside was a bit of a challenge. Thank goodness for double sided tape 😊

@@binghobson7122 thanks Bing. It funny how some projects that are just thrown together at the last minute, end up being rather nice ☺️

@@megangumkowski3181 Ahh, thanks Megan. That's quite a compliment 😊

@@binghobson7122 I got sick of my watches collapsing in a heap every time I accidentally nudges the cardboard tube they were wrapped around 😂

Thanks Bing. Tung oil does look lovely, but it does take a while to dry, especially if you want to add multiple coats. For wooden items that might be used in a kitchen, it's a great product though 😊

@@uk_phil thanks Phil. Yes, I'm quite wary when I work on those edges - softly softly does it 🙂 Thanks for the feedback; really appreciated. I've been using the same intro right from my first post on TH-cam and it could definitely do with an update or full replacement. Something short and sweet I think 😁

@@binghobson7122 thanks Bing. I've made a few of these live edge shaped bowls; I'm always wary of catching the tools, or more importantly, my fingers, on those edges as they whizz past at over 1000 rpm. Worth it though, as they do look nice 🙂

@@maryharris5925 why thank you so much ☺️

@@mcmilge thanks Mel, really appreciate the positive feedback 😊

@@binghobson7122 thanks Bing. The resin colour was supposed to be bronze, but it did turn out quite nicely 😊

Thanks Mel. I've been loving working with these branches; such lovely markings and texture 😊

Thanks for the feedback. I had a dilemma about putting music on my videos. I try not to make the videos too long, so need to fast forward a lot of the material. Like you, I love the sound of tools on wood, but when the video runs at 4 or 6 times speed, it become a high pitched drone. I also play a local radio station in my workshop, so not sure where I stand with having their music in the background that I'm not license for. I know its not to everyones taste, but I opted for music instead.

These branches came off my big Eucalyptus tree about 18 months ago and have been sat in my drying shed since, so should have been pretty dry 😊

Thanks Bing. Sometimes you make something and think "yes, I really like that". That happened with this one, even though it's only a small bowl 🙂

Thanks Bing. Working with old branches can be quite challenging, as you never know how easily they will turn on the lathe. As long as you don't look too closely, this one has turned out quite nice 😊

Thanks Megan ☺️

Thanks Hans. I like having two bowls that fit so closely together, as there’s so little wastage 😊

Fanks 🙂

Thanks Mel 😊

Why thank you so much 😊. I was going to turn them on their sides and give them wings and little stings 😘

Thanks Bing. They are close, but not identical.. I use cunning camera angles to hide the differences 😆

Hiya Bing. Thanks for the feedback back on recent videos. I must admit I'm really enjoying coming up with ideas for these SS GB deck planks 😊

Hi Derek, thanks for the great feedback. It's really appreciated 😊

Hi again.. yes. I've been selling at craft fairs and at a local cafe near me (West Country in the UK). I'm looking to potentially start an Etsy shop as well. If you ever see anything that you like, you are welcome to ping me and I can tell you if it's available or if I can make something similar for you 🙂

Thanks for the great feedback. I've got a bucket list of tools I'd like to get. A wider planner/thicknesser is on the list. It would feel so satisfying to watch the excess resin disappear with a few passes 😊

Yep, I was right! Looks great! Nice job!

Hi Phil. Thanks for the great feedback. I couldn't agree more about the background sound. Shame it took me 70 odd videos to work that out (or rather , listen to feedback) 😂. I'm contemplating adding my voice to videos rather than typing comments, assuming my viewers can handle my West Country accent ☺️

Thanks Mel ☺️

Hi Mel. Thanks for all the great feedback. Really appreciated the positive comments 😍

I totally agree!

Why thank you so much for such super comments ☺️

Takk for kommentaren. Jeg håper google translate har rett 😊. Jeg er aldri sikker på om musikken er det riktige valget, men den originale lyden høres ikke bra ut etter at jeg øker hastigheten på videoen. Jeg lurer på om ingen lyd ville være et alternativ

Jeg har nettopp lest oversettelsen på nytt. Jeg antar at du mente at jeg skulle legge til muntlige kommentarer til videoene mine. det er et godt poeng, og jeg har sett på å legge til et stemmespor til videoene mine i stedet for tekst. Jeg håper seerne ville være ok med min sterke aksent 🙂

Your video software may allow you to separate the audio track first before you speed it up the vision., Then you can then overlay bites of that over the music, which you can reduce the volume of during the voice over.

@@CraigMackey222 Hiya Craig. Thanks for the suggestions. I'm guessing I have that option as the editing software seems to have lots of functionality. I'll dig a bit deeper. I generally have a radio playing in the background, so might need to check where I stand with music licensing. And even worse, I think my strong UK West Country accent might put lots of people off my videos (and I'd have to stop cursing every time I make a mistake) 😂. Perhaps a voice over audio track added at the end is an option. Thanks again.

I like the music 😊

Hi there. Thanks for the great comment. I sold this little vase at a craft fair last Christmas. I can't remember the exact price, but it was around £35 I think. Were you asking because you wanted something like that? 😊

Hi Bing. Thanks for the comments. The wood is called Jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata), from Australia. When the ship came back to Bristol in 1970 it didn't have a deck, so this timber went on it in the 90s. I don't remember it (being only 4) but my grandparents took me down to the harbour to see it's return in 1970 😊

@@severndriftwood5338I’ve taken my grandson there too. He loves it!

Why thank you. I do try 😋

Fanks 😁

Thanks Bing (very Bristolian comment 😊). Yes, it's beautiful and I didn't want to see those columns go to waste. My missus suggested candle sticks 👍

Thanks Mel. When the resin started to heat up and bubble whilst it was curing, I thought it was going to go pear shaped, but I was lucky 😊

Thanks Bing, yes I must admit I do like these metallic pigments 😊

Thanks very much. Just checked out your channel and looking at the quality of the stuff you make, I'll take that praise all day long 😁
