I love aqua blue, midnight purple, crystal purple, rainbow blue and mother of pearl. You should use a combination 💜💙💟 of these colors more often. Love them 😊🥰🥰
i love that professional woodturners watch the same channels as a casual viewer like myself. ben worx is always entertaining. also i have never seen someone use an electric frying pan full of glue but that is ingenious. great stuff.
My mom would have loved this light. She loved green and christmas and always decorated a lot for that time. But that year 2020 she was in hospital because of a hard brainstroke. Sadly she passed away in my arms 24 of december 10.30 in the morning. Hard time followed all of 2021. But also i took up woodturning and learning about Epoxy and thanks to you Jim i learning from every of your video. Thank you. Greetings Hans Olav
It is wonderful 🙂 A little trick I use to get the resin strands off the spinning piece, without having to stop the lathe over and over, an old toothbrush will make those pesky strands get off and out of the way in a quick and simple way 🤠
A balloon might have gotten a more "snow globe" shape and there would have been a larger gap between the edges of the tree and clear epoxy. Loved your mix of glow in the dark and solid pigments, definitely captured the decorated tree look! 🥰
For your first attempt I would have to say it came out really nice. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas day!!! Let's hope 2021 is a whole lot better. Thanks as always for sharing.
It’s cool even if the tree shape was distorted by the outer resin. I like it. Thanks for your commentary too. I see u are at 15,000. Congrats! Happy 2021 🥳
Happy Christmas and a bright and easier new year from Fleetwood, uk.. made my Christmas coming on here at 10.15 pm, to watch your tree light make, I do hope you try again I love your makes.
Hi Jim, this morning I decided to subscribe and support your work. The cost is so small and, that my Bank balance won't be affected. I love what you do and believe that I should be helping you. I can't afford anything you create, but it's fun watching you. Even if I've already seen the video, I use your voice to help me sleep 😴💤. You just have a calming effect on me. I have no family alive, and I sorta include you as family. I've also included Nick from his channel on Nick's Garage. I love MOPAR, and that's mostly what he works on. I'd like to take a trip up to Canada,just for fun. Thank you very very much,have a great day!😊
great video mate, when you make this again, maybe define the branches a little deeper so they stand out more in the resin. have a great christmas and new year. Keep making and creating.
I was thinking the same thing. Also, casting the tree in two different colours of resin - a slim cone of medium green (like in this video) for the core, and then a second cone of darker green outside which is carved into, should mean the light will pass through the centre easily, while the varying thickness of the darker resin will define the "branches".
Awesome project Jim 👏👏. Definitely need to think things out ahead of time for that one. Congrats on getting to the 15k subscribers. Now I can finally get your mussel shell bowl!! 🤪. Merry Christmas.
What an awesome piece . I really like all your videos your pieces of work are fantastic you are very clever and you always make your videos interesting

I wasn't so sure about those chopped up pieces, but they actually turned out pretty good! I personally would've done them in ball form with colored glue sticks in my hot glue gun (if I could find or make any) but your way was a lot less labor-intensive. That was a really good idea on how to make the tree. I think it might have been easier to see the definition between tiers through the resin if the cuts were a little deeper, but you did great drowning that treat in multiple waves of colored resin pieces so that it looks very full of lights. Super Christmas-y! That's also cool that you just got a few electrical components off Amazon and cobbled them together into a lighted base! I know a lot of people have that kind of knowledge, but I didn't really learn much about electrical work. Mostly just to turn off the power before trying any of it and how to match connections for swapping a light switch.
Great project Jim! What a cool idea. I especially liked the dedication to making Christmas lights. I especially liked that the lights were put on afterwards to ensure they had definition under the clear epoxy. Merry Christmas to you and your family!!! 🎄🍁🎄✨
I like the idea, every project is a learning expierence and I look forward to your next one. Maybe frost the tips of the branches with some white resin to define the branches, just a suggestion. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
So sweet, wish you could more clearly see how you tampered the branches. Maybe if you do it again you could tapper more and only put decorations on the bottom portion of the branches????
Thanks Jim for sharing another beautiful project.. Watching on Boxing Day, so it’s helping to maintain that festive feeling.. P.S. you probably already know this but acetone is great for removing resin (from fingers, brushes etc) - I’m always pinching my daughters nail varnish remover 😊
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from your neighbour in Simcoe County, Jim. Considering how long you've been working with resin, it turned out pretty cool. Like you said, the clarity of the globe pour is awesome!
You've really outdone yourself on that one, great job, i'm looking forward to seeing future projects. I'm not a woodturner myself, but i've done a bit of carving and been watchin woodturning videos on youtube for years, but i've never seen others come up with similar ideas as you. That creativity is really refreshing, i hope you make it big. Greetings from Germany
I know they're not exactly standard workshop equipment, but for cutting up those little coloured pieces you used as decorations you might want to try toe-nail clippers.
Also, a fan fixed to the lathe to blow the resin strands strands away from the chuck end might deal with the problem of them wrapping around the piece you're working on, although they'd probably end up wrapped around the tailstock instead if that's being used. Happy Christmas!
I love aqua blue, midnight purple, crystal purple, rainbow blue and mother of pearl. You should use a combination 💜💙💟 of these colors more often. Love them 😊🥰🥰
In large castings I find the MOP tends to weaken the other colors when added, thanks!
The night light came out beautifully! That is so cool and to think it has a light built in is so cool! Great job!
Thank you so much!
i love that professional woodturners watch the same channels as a casual viewer like myself. ben worx is always entertaining.
also i have never seen someone use an electric frying pan full of glue but that is ingenious. great stuff.
You can’t get enough volume from a glue gun, this is why I use the electric frying pan, thanks

Excellent and very clever looks fantastic thank you.all the very best for Christmas and New year 👌👌👌👌
Thanks Richard!

I was using the air hose too, thanks
This came out beautifully. I love the tree. The resin bits as ornaments and lights is perfect. What a beautiful little Christmas light/ decoration❤
Thank you so much!
I'm so glad that I'm going back further in your videos!!! I love this!!!! This is too cool!! ❤❤❤❤
I'm glad you like it, thanks!
