    So there seems to be some confusion as to what I said in the voiceover. This channel is not changing, it will be here, I’m not changing it one bit. I see the need for these long instructional videos and I will be here for you each week! My plan is it to start an additional channel that will feature the same project but in a condensed format for people that don’t need or want the instruction. I’m sorry for any confusion that this may of caused! I love my loyal subscribers, safe turning! Jim

      @@SpragueWoodturning I think a second channel would be quite popular for those who just want to see "the magic" happen. It would be ideal for those who just want to see a hunk of wood turn into an amazing work of art in a dozen minutes. I have noticed there are turners who quite successfully entertain their subscribers with witty banter, jokes, and antics (Nick Zammeti for example) but again, I think those turners are more focused on entertaining rather than instructing. I personally am not a wood turner, but I love watching it done. I am one of those strange people who enjoys learning things so I'm quite snug as a bug in a rug not only watching "the magic" happen, but also learning from you *how* it happened. I'm one of the weirdos who watches documentaries for fun. 😂 I love your channel and appreciate all your hard work and that you patiently explain so much. I also think your idea to start a second channel would do very well. (I managed to worm in a bug reference in honor of this video's project. 😉) As one of your American subscribers I'm especially looking forward to both your July 1st and 4th videos. 👍

      I thought the distinction you made was clear. I like these long videos because the turning is so soothing to watch, and I love to see the beauty which emerges. The information is fine too, it's interesting. So I like the long ones for entertainment; and I suppose short versions would have an attraction for many people. Thanks!

    Sir, I enjoy your videos exactly as they are. That said, per your question around the 20min mark, I'm an analytics person, and like your idea about the 2nd channel. Let me recommend, a potentially simple solution. All of your pieces are great and you currently do a lot of video editing (speeding things up, talk overs, etc. ), which is all very informative and helpful to the aspiring turner', but may dissuade some watching for ASMR purposes. Therefore, rather than having to create separate content for each channel, just provide two separate edits. This channel (like it is, or shorter to target a different audience), and the other would include all that footage that currently either speeds by (i.e. minus the time lapse), ends up on the cutting room floor, or has speak - overs. Analytics suggest a large media market in ASMR related engineering and hand-made craftsmanship.
    Again, I enjoy your videos currently, but you probably have the footage you need already to appeal to/target a potentially larger audience. 👍 keep up the good work!!

    • @SpragueWoodturning
      @SpragueWoodturning  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This bowl is beautiful! Your color choice is perfect! It’s worthy of owning!
    I really like the voiceover that you do. You answer the questions I have. I find your videos enriching. I can see the value of short videos for the viewers who are not interested in the full process of how or why something is created. There is also something cathartic about watching something being created with or without ASMR. I am guilty of skipping over portions in other videos where the presenter strays off topic or when random movie clips or other platforms are in inserted. I tend to avoid the channels that do that.

    Additional option on wormy wood (if solid) is to turn the bowl, and remove the surface frass with air, brush, and/or pick. Then brush or paint a fast resin on in stages to fill the now cleaned surface holes. Still takes time, but uses less resin. I heat treat my wood or run it through the pressure pot dry to make sure the bugs are dead. Give the short option vids a try and see how they are received. May not be worth the extra editing time, but then you will know! 10-20 is my preferred, unless it is a step by step which requires more full detail. Btw, bowl turned out great.

You get to hear/learn so much, especially about the types/figures of wood prior to the project. Yo also get snippets about the person themselves which draws the viewers in and make them apart of the channel by getting to know you. I get lost in watching all the steps so I’m oblivious of the vid length, I like the content exactly as it is.

    I’m a beginner and love your videos. Sometimes I watch them several times and always have the option of skipping ahead to get to the part I want to focus on. Thank you for these!

    My attention span is getting shorter but I watch your videos all the way through and thoroughly enjoy them. With the marvels of modern science people can always increase the speed up to two times should they wish. I am happy to sit quietly for forty minutes or so in awe watching a master at work 🌞

    Great result. As for video length - I often go for shorter videos, but there's a few channels where I watch the longer videos cuz I know I'm guaranteed to learn something - yours is one of those. To me, it's worth the extra time - I just watch them when I'm in a position to dedicate the time and maybe make some notes.

    I think that your videos are great the way they are but you do what you think is best. I am not a wood Wright or turner but I do like details on how your bowls are made. You are really talented and thanks for sharing your ability, tips, etc., with your viewers.

    I get a lot of useful info from your videos as they are. As the nearest club to me is over an hour drive away I've learned most of what i know about turning from videos, reading, and practice. Keep up the good work with your videos.

  • @misfit4777
    @misfit4777 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I watch your entire videos and don't mind them lengthy and detailed. A condensed version would be cool to go back over sometime in the future to remember certain tricks, techniques. My main hope is you keep doing what you're doing!

  • @soniaminter6665

    I like your videos, I am a carpenter by trade and like watching people who knows how to use their tools. You are not doing anything that I cannot but you are doing it better and I am striving to get up to your standard. (I am getting there). Very nice bowl.

  • @ronjohnson5477
    @ronjohnson5477 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Neat looking piece with the resin in the bug holes. I understand that some may like to see shorter versions but I like the longer instructional videos myself. Glad to hear you will continue making them. I always wait until I have time to watch them all the way through.

  • @RyanVenegas
    @RyanVenegas 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I think the second channel is a great idea. Personally not a wood turner or necessarily interested in the details, but I do enjoy to watch things being made, and also find the sounds soothing. If you do another channel I wouldn't speed things up and i would make the sound of the work being done as clear as you can. I follow some "restoration" channels for similar reasons. ASMR for many.

  • @rogercoker1938
    @rogercoker1938 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    As an novice wood turner I really appreciate your video and some of the banter and chitchat on how you create things the marble trick was pretty awesome I'll have to remember that for future projects that I do. As far as the condensed version I think that those would be nice to see as well

  • @polo86cfahrer
    @polo86cfahrer 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Another wonderful bowl. Filling the wormholes with resin was a great idea. The video length is just right. I watch the woodturning videos for relaxation to see how it's done and how the bowl is made. Short videos aren't that relaxing because you have to be attentive all the time. Then this is not relaxation. :)

  • @JiggsysShed
    @JiggsysShed 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    There was a lot of places for that resin to soak into. Really interesting bowl and the wormholes give it so much character.

    really enjoying your videos.

    Most us are not lucky enough to have access to the equipment that you are working with. Therefore for some of us a 20 minute video with short descriptions and some music will be very relaxing 😌. After watching we could get back to our day job 😀.

    Interesting project! I'm not a turner, just a want-to-be, vicariously enjoying the art, through your videos! You know better than I, how much I've save in buying a lathe and cutting tools, this way!! LOL!! Surprised you say, 2-3 good cuts and then needing to sharpen tool again!! That's an extremely short live span on your tools edge!! Especially interesting, watching you is, I'm left handed too!! Didn't realize it made a difference!! I'm liking the details of, how-to explained!! Think, if folks want to see end results, they'll just fast forward through to end!! Great looking bowl and finish work!! NO!! It's ART!!! Not used for salad!!

    • @SpragueWoodturning
      @SpragueWoodturning  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It’s not easy being a lefthand turner, all the tools are made for righties, if your great with both hands then your fine. The 20” General I work on has lefthand threads on the outboard end so you can stand in front of the work comfortably and do our left handed awesomeness, lol. Carbide is where it’s at when dealing with theses resin/wood combos. The Hercules is an awesome tool and highly recommended it. Thanks 🙏

    Turned out really cool, Jim. I like the longer videos personally but I get that many people might not want to spend as much time as that on a video so a sped up version might keep more viewers. I for one will be watching the longer teaching versions. Thanks!
