I have only been turning for about 9 years, I have learned more useful information from your videos than can be recorded. I am coming up on 80 my goal is to make one piece as nice as yours. Loved this Vaise, every episode is just loaded with great tips and great designs. Thank you.
I hope he is selling these one of a kind pieces for tens of thousands of dollars, because man, you talk about time, effort, energy and creativity! Wow!
This turned out gorgeous! My favorite color and the texture of the wood is stunning! I love that you are unafraid to admit mistakes happen and you effortlessly pivot around them and make them a feature of the piece. In the future, if you want to draw contrast with colors via any cracks like you did here with the white, try using silver or gold for your resin color! It'll be very similar to kintsugi, which is intended to create beauty out of something broken using precious metal to repair broken pottery.
I'm just at 7 minutes through the video and you're talking about making mistakes and "that's on me" and so forth, and I just wanted to thank you for pushing yourself, your tools, the resin and everything else. These are the voyages of discovery we make in our lives, Jim. They're beautiful and wonderful in their own right, and sometimes we arrive on the far shore to discoveries like the gorgeous vase I saw in the thumbnail. Thank you for your journeys, and thank you for bringing us along with you on them.
Mannnnn, what a beautiful piece of art. Functional art. There's a lot of crap that gets passed off as art, but something like this is timeless. In 1,000 years, someone could dig that up and it would still be a treasure. Great job! High fives all around!
@@SpragueWoodturning Yeah, and something else I'd like to add. Sometimes you don't know how something is going to turn out and that's the greatest part! You're learning and through that process WE learn. Lots of people make good videos but they don't show mess ups and projects that didn't turn out the way they wanted. Something I've learned in life is that if you don't know something for sure, say something to someone and they'll do their best to help. At the very least, they'll know you did your best. Well, you state that you aren't sure how things will go and you try anyway. We need more of that attitude. Keep up the quality work buddy!
@@D1NKERR It's very true. Sometimes I'll start a piece with a really good idea of where I'm going with it, but it usually turns out differently than I envisioned it and gains a lot of elements along the way. My ideas often start out really simple and gain complexities that make sense with the core of it along the way. And you're totally right. There's a LOT of crap passed off as art. I look at it and go..."Why?! Just...why? Why would you feel the need to do this, and then feel the need to inflict it on other people? My eyes feel assaulted now!" So it's nice to see art by people who actually know what they're doing.
I think this vase is beautiful. If you wanted a contrast filler for cracks, you could use a strong gold colour, similar to the Japanese art of Kintsugi which uses gold to highlight repairs, rather than hide them.
@@lindalu8463 Yeah, that was my feeling too. All colors should work in concert on a piece. Wood goes with purple. Wood goes with red. Red does not go with purple. It changes the tone of the piece too much from the soft, proud beauty it is to a loud and in-your-face rebel. And those two feelings really don't work together, causing chaos. Which I'm pretty sure your wife knew intuitively. White adds sweetness, which works with proud beauty. It's just unfortunate the white didn't pop more. Oh well....
Your pieces are beautiful. The fact you are comfortable with your perceived errors is great, it helps others know that no-one has perfect outcomes all the time and the fact you identify what is wrong, why and how it to fix it is fabulous.
Glitter purple. Who would have thought it would produce such a lovely result? It contrasts so well with the soft gold tones of the wood. Love the wavy top edge!
As I was watching I kept wanting you to make multiple globes , this design would look wonderful as globes for planets. Then I changed my mind as you got further into it and i decided that a lamp base with an interior light would bring out the beauty of the piece more. Then i saw the completed piece and fell in love with it as is. wonderful work
I’m glad you didn’t go with the red to fill in. It may have been beautiful but the white made the purple on the sides lighter than the purple at the top. That was amazing.
*Wow!* I don't have words. "Pretty" understates it by magnitudes. "Beautiful" is too mundane. "Lovely" is too insipid. "Gorgeous" comes close but.... "Outstanding"? "Awesome"? "Incredible"? All of them I think. I am not even an amateur at woodworking/turning, so this astounding to me. The look of the maple could keep me mesmerized for hours, I think. (I *adore* wood with gorgeous grain!) Thank you for your work on this piece, & for recording it for us to enjoy. Keep turning please.
Great video, if your finding tricky to seal the wood that causes the bubbles my grandpa he will leave the inside of the vase unsealed in the hopes of the gasses taking the path of least resistance and bleeding out from the inside rather than outside of the bowl
When you do the work the way you do, then I’m not surprised at the million views. I said once and I’ll say it again. You are the best resin turner that I have ever seen. Now going for 2 million.
Omg! I can't stand it anymore! Every piece you make is more beautiful than the last one. Your simply an amazing artist. It makes me wanna learn how to do that. You must be making a fortune off such uniquely exquisite pieces .
The beautiful piece is bursting with an entirely different charachter from every angle! List is long of every detail I am impressed with, to include how you simply flow, creating as you progress.
Well done, magnificent craftsmanship, resulting in beautiful art. When I was at school, my favourite thing was wood turning. I left school in the year 1969 and haven't turned wood since. Your excellent work is inspiring me to be more creative. Thank you and Best Wishes, John.
My Man I am also an accomplished wood lathe person. And your ideas are great I did most of my turning before the Internet and I can't wait to get cracking on some of these projects !
I’ve just found (Wood Turning) videos. There are quite a few out there, but I’ve found your work to be on a completely different level. I mean your pieces leave me speechless! It’s like they need to be in museums! I would make it the centerpiece of my home, with lighting shining on it from all directions. Wow! 👏🏼👏🏼
Hello from New Zealand. This turned out fantastic, well done! I have seen a lot of great wood turning bowls and vase made on youtube, but you actually explain what you are doing which makes this video a lot more educational. Thanks commentary and for sharing.
My wife and I are new to lathe turning. We’re very excited to learn and love your videos. She has terminal cancer and we’re trying new things. We don’t know how much time she has left so we’re fallowing or dreams. And wood turning is at the top of our list. Thank you for the great videos
I thought I could see what you were planning and thought “oh well your going to hollow out the overheated epoxy anyway and then all of a sudden you flipped it on it’s side, was so confused and then just had my mind blown.!!! Soooooo beautiful.!! Thanks for sharing your craft.!
Looks amazing!! Love the translucency of the resin. You said you would show the finished piece, I cannot wait to see it. If it’s any better than this, it’ll be priceless!
This turned out to be an incredibly stunning piece of artwork! The translucence in the purple with the white is magnificent! Truly special & almost gem like. I love watching your videos with all your trials & how you're able overcome & fix them. It's very interesting to watch & then see the end product. Also, congrats on the million views, man! Very cool!! Keep killin' it! Take care & God Bless!!!
Just found your page and enjoy watching. I made several things in high school on the lathe and always wanted to do it as a hobby but never did. But now I'm interested again being retired and needing something to do. I will keep watching and learning and hope to share something made in the future.
The vase is amazingly beautiful! I LOVE the color. It looks like periwinkle, which is my favorite color. I really appreciate the narration, explaining what you are doing, why, and how. Thank you so much for posting such interesting and informative videos. You really have a special talent!
I'm completely mesmerized by the lights reflecting off the finished pieces from above while it's on the rotisserie ... any chance you could linger on this for a minute or so without any other movement? It accentuates the natural look and shows just how amazing our world is!
This piece is just SO PRETTY! Very thankful to TH-cam's algorithm for once bringing me to something I really wanted to see! Also, congrats on passing 1.5M views on this video! :)
Wow! This vase is so pretty in so many ways. I love the wood grain. The wood openings on the side are so interesting. I love the pretty, translucent purple epoxy. The fish-mouth opening on the top of the vase is amazing. I think this vase is one of your top most beautiful pieces.
I rewatched this video and loved it again. Turning the wood piece from the side created some beautiful windows into the vase. This one is a winner! Artists don’t make mistakes, they incorporate them into their work!
Gorgeous piece! You're right about the bluish tinge on the internal lighting. Gives it this really mystical indigo glow. So amazing. Really plays off with the lilac and lavender hues 🧋💖 The photos at the end look like a magical landscape through an arcade. Very beautiful how that came out
Been watching you for a while now, but rarely do I ever comment on a page, but this is one of the most beautiful pieces you've made! I am truly in awe! Beautiful!
I can't get over how beautiful this vase turned out! I love the variations in the colors next to the wood and that finish is amazing. Great job, Jim! 💜
MAN that is so cool. Also love to see long videos showing process of both thinking AND manufacturing, as well as admiting flaws and noting corrections for future times. Edit: Also, the editing being a bare minimum of speedup and voiceover. It really helps focusing on the actual video without any external annoyances like the generic music everyone uses.
Absolutely stunning piece and purple is my favorite color so I love that aspect very much! I never thought a piece of wood could be turned into something so amazing! GREAT JOB!! 🧡😊🎉
Love it. Just beautiful. Re. thermal cracking, have you thought about building some kind of cooling rig. The guys over at Black Forest built a cooling table for their deep pours. I use designer epoxy as well but am no where near pushing the boundaries like you!
This would be a tricky thing to do, the epoxy needs 70 to 75 degrees to cure and you would need to keep it at that temp. If it got too cold it wouldn’t cure. Talking to the owner today, he recommended casting on the bench when doing these really deep pours, that way it won’t crack. Thanks
I have had luck with using an old air handler from a houses air con system wired it up in my shop. I turn it on and have it forcing air over the piece to help remove the heat the epoxy is generating . You will on something that thick like a 5 gallon buck how well it would work I have no idea I use it to blow over by deep pour tables.
Thanks for the chatter. I have watched a bunch of these and see what is happening but never get the reasoning about the decisions to do this or that. Your info helped it make a lot more sense. Thanks for the post.
Man i never thought in resins in over 40 years. Good work and great ending. Wish i could still woodwork but my lower spine collapsed 5 inches 7 years ago. I miss it so much with such great new id
@@SpragueWoodturning no i cant sit long either maybe after i get a pain pump installed but i dont know in major pain keep chipping away. Don Freebird Gregg
Very impressive!!! The color is similar to the Tanzanite which is just the best color I've ever seen. Your videos are outstanding. Your work is even better. Our family is picture framing, & it's always feast or famine, so your comments on making a living are an understatement, to say the least. That commission on that squatty looking bowl & the river table are exquisite! Im watching them all now! Thanks for sharing!
This vase is fantastic. I’m a recent viewer of your projects and love the resin work you do. Keep up the good work for all of us who just enjoy your work and easy banter you have with the viewers.
There is nothing impossible in the art of lathe, it is life, and when you accomplish a wonderful job, you feel extremely happy, well done
Thank you very much!
I have only been turning for about 9 years, I have learned more useful information from your videos than can be recorded. I am coming up on 80 my goal is to make one piece as nice as yours. Loved this Vaise, every episode is just loaded with great tips and great designs. Thank you.

I hope he is selling these one of a kind pieces for tens of thousands of dollars, because man, you talk about time, effort, energy and creativity! Wow!

I turn it on and have it forcing air over the piece to help remove the heat the epoxy is generating . You will on something that thick like a 5 gallon buck how well it would work I have no idea I use it to blow over by deep pour tables.
Absolutely gorgeous! Love the combo!
Thank you so much!
Loving this piece. About a third of the way done with the video, and am so excited to see the finished piece!! So happy to be able to turn tomorrow
Thanks for watching
I absolutely LOVE this piece. Just when I think I’ve seen my new favorite you make another beauty!
Thanks 😊
Джон, замечательная работа! Я только начинаю работать в этой области. Такие работы вдохновляют!
Thanks for watching, Jim
Thanks for the chatter. I have watched a bunch of these and see what is happening but never get the reasoning about the decisions to do this or that. Your info helped it make a lot more sense. Thanks for the post.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching
Beautiful piece of art. The shape and colors are absolutely magical. 💜
Thanks 😊
Wow just started watching and I find this so soothing. Beautiful piece. Such talent!!
Thank you so much! Welcome aboard!
This turned out to be an absolute beautiful piece
Thanks for watching
Man i never thought in resins in over 40 years. Good work and great ending. Wish i could still woodwork but my lower spine collapsed 5 inches 7 years ago. I miss it so much with such great new id
Well that sucks! Oneway does make a sit down lathe if that would be beneficial to you? Thanks for watching
@@SpragueWoodturning no i cant sit long either maybe after i get a pain pump installed but i dont know in major pain keep chipping away. Don Freebird Gregg
Very impressive!!! The color is similar to the Tanzanite which is just the best color I've ever seen. Your videos are outstanding. Your work is even better. Our family is picture framing, & it's always feast or famine, so your comments on making a living are an understatement, to say the least. That commission on that squatty looking bowl & the river table are exquisite! Im watching them all now! Thanks for sharing!
Wow, thank you!
This is really a beautiful piece! I absolutely love the resin color, that it's translucent and the open areas of the wood show it off.
Thank you very much!
“For those of you who thought this was gonna be the top
Of the vase….. Nope” 😂
They came out beautiful
Always keep them guessing, lol. Thanks 😊
This vase is fantastic. I’m a recent viewer of your projects and love the resin work you do. Keep up the good work for all of us who just enjoy your work and easy banter you have with the viewers.
Thank you very much!
