As a turner I can't tell you how much I appreciate you keeping all the pitfalls and fixes in your videos. Your experience is priceless. Thanks again Jim.
The integrity that you demonstrate in the process of making these videos is amazing. So many people have lost sight of the importance of living with integrity.
I'd love to see the "dog" or "bear" smoothed, polished and shined. I know you can't really turn it. But, it looks like it's almost already shaped. I see the eye and everything. Of course, I'd love to see some of those really gnarly pieces turned into vases, or bowls, or urns. You do those things, really beautifully.
You never disappoint. You take a split chunk of log that most people would look at and call firewood and turn it into a stunning masterpiece. Well done.
I so appreciate your taking time to talk and show us through all the processes, mistakes and all. And what a stunning piece. I don't turn, or make anything, but I do enjoy watching your videos, your humour and the journey you take to make the beautiful turnings you create.
One of the things I appreciate most about your videos is that you recognize that learning what NOT to do is just as important as learning what to do in the first place. Please, keep helping us learn by teaching us where you fail. This is a spectacular piece!
I named my cat 'Lightning', as it is my favorite part of a Thunderstorm. the power of lightning and the beauty of it have kept me in awe since childhood.
"I'll just watch the first few minutes, I gotta sleep".. Aaaaaaaaaand I watched the whole thing. Damn that's a pretty sick vase. Thank you for introducing me to woodturning, now that's something I definitely wanna learn and do. Thanks Jim for sharing all your experience and knowledge! It's priceless
Yes I've experienced some pitfalls with epoxy too. Nothings ever easy or goes to plan liked we hoped, but we improvise through it just like you did. Came out great! Love your old school lathe.
I love how dark this wood is! It looks absolutely stunning with the dancing blue and purple. The cheeky sense of humor was awesome, it was entertaining to hear you contain yourself!
I got the flu yesterday, and was looking for something relaxing while I fight off this fever. I know nothing about wood turning but found this both interesting and calming.
I'm impressed with how you work through the problem and are honest on how to fix the problem/mistake. My wife loves your work. She is addicted to your talent! Do I need to worry? 😂
Knotty! Knotty! 🤣🤣🤣 The round burl could make a really nice cauldron. This piece is gorgeous! The resin colours came together in such a stunning way. Another amazing piece!
Your videos are really interesting and informative. Love the explanation of every step involved in the process. That’s an absolutely beautiful vase. These techniques should be classified as a fine art medium.
Love thes videos. Just to see the skills used to create the transaction from one beautiful object to another in the creator's hand. Awesome. Love the object lessons.
Wow, I just have to agree with you on using the gold in the smaller veins!! Fantastic, happy ending experiment there. I think it touches off on that most beautiful blue you've used here, and as blues go with yellows so well in the first place.... well you certainly have put the explanation point on this note!!! Perfectly executed journey from start to finish! Thank you kindly 😁👍.
Wow super beautiful piece. Feeling sorry for the mishaps with the leaks but at the same time also very muhc approving of you levaing those in. That's the things that really make you legit and authentic in showing your actual process and giving people a real chance to understand how things are going (or not going). great choice going with the gloss this time too. Love how shiny it is
Jim, this is beautiful! Love the Japanese gold technique!! Great explanation / tutorial on your methodology. Always great to see the challenges, it allows me to relate :)
I know I'm late to the party on this one, but I had to comment while catching up on all your amazing content/creations. I am SO happy to see you tried the faux-kintsugi technique. I absolutely love it as a style and was one of the (many) folk who suggested it a while back, so it really made my day to see that you'd tried it here. It looks STUNNING! You really nailed it. I think it was kinda poetic that the project fought you so hard and you used the kintsugi technique on it, along that whole making something beautiful out of a broken thing philosophy. I've also got to say; the fact you stayed so calm and chill when the resin kept leaking, and to come into your workshop and see that river of purple... I might have lost my mind, but you calmly sorted it and in the end have created something truly beautiful and yeah, you're an inspiration Jim, really glad to have found your channel :) I also really loved the trailer section where you talk about your new pieces from Troy, your cheeky giggles at /that one piece/ made me laugh alongside you! :D Between the difficult project and seeing you overcome the challenges, to the playful levity with the wood from Troy, yeah, this is one of my favourite videos from you. Really great stuff :D
The old saying "no pain no gain" but having to clean your work bench is a lot of pain and no fun. Well you won over it in the end. Well, now I know I'm a dirty old man...LOL Some very nice burls to work with, can't wait to see some of those posts down the road. With the gold at the bottom the resin does look like lightning. The walnut is stunning, as is the entire piece. Just an outstanding work of art sir, very beautiful indeed. I know this piece was a lot of work and thank you for that and your work behind the camera. 🌿 ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡
The translucence of the resin when looking from the inside of the vase out is really nice. Also, I think the spruce burl has the makings of a very fine cauldron.
1st time seeing your work and I must say that it is beautiful! I subscribed and am looking forward to many more of your creations! Ps: the one piece that you found and made you giggle made me bust out laughing 🤣 can't wait to see what comes of it!
I think the only thing you can do with the one piece is to make what it wants to be you wouldn’t have to show what you make of it kind of a private piece no pun intended 😂
It's really good to see just how much the colour and chatoyance are brought out in the wood, the resin looked really good and it was hard to see where the blue stopped and the purple started. The gold crack resin looked really good, might of needed a small pich or extremely small cutter or carbide burr in the engraver to give the crack a bit more depth in the centre. I think outlining the resin would look good too, sometimes it's hard to improve on nature though lol. Really good finish, think you should get powdered metal i.e. aluminium, bronze, copper etc to get a nice metal inlay look about it?
I was lucky enough to purchase this truly beautiful piece from Jim. Even after the British Taxman charged me £200 to import it😡it was worth every penny. Jim is a true craftsman. Many thanks 😊
Wow, I’m sorry to hear this! Is this Duty that was charged or just a tax of some sort? If so I was under the impression that duty didn’t apply to art pieces which this is? Thanks again for you’re purchase!
@@SpragueWoodturning Hi Jim, yeah they applied Value Added Tax to it, a sales tax. But hey, that’s the British system for you! I was going to challenge it but I was worried the vase was in some bonded warehouse with things getting thrown on top of it! Didn’t want to take the chance. It was still worth every penny. Keep up the good work and I hope to add another piece in the future. Thanks again Jim.
I have just recently subscribed to your channel and have watched a lot of your videos and this one right here is my favorite so far with all the curve balls it threw at you and not just at the start all the way till the end and your never give up attitude turned out a very very interesting and incredibly beautiful piece of artwork!! I have never came close to turning anything but I stumbled across your channel and I am very glad that I decided to watch that first one!! Thank you so much for making us a part of your world!! Your an amazing wood turner!! Again thank you keep the amazing videos coming!!
Like other commenters, I don't actually turn, but enjoy your commentary as you go. I don't know how you stayed so patient with the leaks - I would have given up. Another gorgeous piece, belongs in a palace.
Now thats (Class!!) Thank you for leaving that teaching moment in the video and not hiding it from us. Not one of us are perfect and even after years of wood working I still make the simplest of mistakes. 😊
The mistakes are invaluable experience. I personally love that you and Nick Zammeti leave them in, because when I start I'll have that base knowledge. Like you said, if you leave them out, we don't learn!
Of all the TH-cam videos on Woodturning yours is the best! That was a gorgeous vase you sure can take a piece of gnarly old wood and make it into a piece of art!
It’s the best watching experienced tradesmen running into problems and sharing the entire process with us in their videos!! Bravo 👏🏼 it shows that even the best have to troubleshoot as they go!! Great work mate 👍🏼👍🏼 from Australia 🇦🇺 🦘

Hi Jim you have impressed me yet again with turning this beautiful vase. I liked the journey around your workshop looking at your different bits of wood you have some fabulous pieces of wood. The way you advice us and show us what is good for you and might be helpful to us when we do our turning thank you Jim. This piece of wood and the resin are cool the wood has fantastic grain, marking and cracking we're the resin goes into and colouring, I love the piece of walnut wood. Take care Amanda xxxx
WOW! This is so lovely! There were some interesting pieces in the trailer. You know we are all thinking it! I am truly dissapointed that I didn't get to see you fight to get out of a bucket though! I would love to see footed bowls from you!!!!!
You sure worked for this one. The walnut goes good with the purple and blue for sure. I don't know what to do with the odd ball piece without getting a laugh out of it. I don't think a piece like this would be prudent. lol Cheers, Lee

I like whacking your video thank you very much.
@@williamblackgoat5675 WATCHING? if not what is whacking?
Agree. Thanks for keeping the faux pas in the video.
I agree David
The integrity that you demonstrate in the process of making these videos is amazing. So many people have lost sight of the importance of living with integrity.
A very true statement! Thanks!

Of course, I'd love to see some of those really gnarly pieces turned into vases, or bowls, or urns. You do those things, really beautifully.
Yes, some will need to left intact. Others will look great with resin. Thanks
Yay, got to watch a new video from Jim on my birthday! Looks great!
Happy Birthday! Here's to many more.
Great! Happy birthday!
EVERYONE makes mistakes. You just move on and deal with it. .happy turning.
Thank you very much!
You never disappoint. You take a split chunk of log that most people would look at and call firewood and turn it into a stunning masterpiece. Well done.

THAT PIECE IN THE BACK OF THE TRUCK IS SOOO A FEMALE LION!!!! 🦁🦁
Can’t argue that! Thanks
STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL! YOU ARE AN EXCEPTIONAL ARTIST! WE ALSO LOVE YOUR "SLOW-MO"! IGNORE THE HATER/S!
Thank you so much!
My Husband and I just love watching the love you put into your projects...
Thank you very much
Really enjoyed your turning, people don't believe that the wood talks to us, but it does, thanks again, Cliff
It certainly does and this one was telling me it didn’t want to be made into anything, lol. Thanks

Sometimes we just want to throw in the towel but the artist in us sees beyond the struggles. Another beautiful piece, glad you stuck with it.
Thank you very much

it was a pleasure watching an artist at work today, what a treat!

I definitely appreciate you including your mistakes, Jim. I not only learn from them but am encouraged to know I'm not the only one who makes them!
