Absolutely stunning mate..well done..love your stuff..always inspiring me. Update on the new lathe..i have now bought a steady rest, the coring jig, a hollowing rig and a shed load of carbide tools. For the love of god, don't ever meet my wife!!!.....🤣🤣
You're not the only one that's followed Jim's recommendations for turning tools. Between the Oneway vacuum chuck system and coring system and a couple of the Hunter tools he's recommended, I think I could have bought a new truck. The good news is, they all work as advertised and were worth the investment, but Jim better not meet my wife either.
I really love the walnut shell faces. I really like all the ones you've done with shells and pinecones and so on. I feel like they have more character because of the way you see them differently (walnut shell "faces," pinecone "flowers," etc.). Such a beautiful piece this week!
Definitely one of the wildest pieces you've done. Been anxiously awaiting this since you posted the teaser the other day, and as always it was well worth the wait. The nuts kind of look like individual pictures from a CAT scan showing different levels through the skull.
Omg right? I thought the same thing about the CT! I named the "creepy" face Creepio, and those are his CT results. ^_^ ...But couldn't comment for some reason. idk if today's comment mentioning it actually posted.
I have never watched wood turning before and this has absolutely mesmerized me. It's like watching magic and I will definitely be back for more. Greetings from the UK
Right? What a pairing of two gorgeous burls, and then the walnut sections, and the resin bringing it all together - with a little extra zazz via colour, glow, & sprinkles! And that narrow collar piece is such a beautiful piece made with exemplary skill! (I hope I'm using that word right. Brain fog!)
Jim this is awesome! Doing those casting often don't go as plan, but resolution is always an opportunity to take the "design" a step further, and this is week project is certainly showing that! I LOVE it! Have a great week! 😊
Amazing hollowform. Yet another project that you have hit out of the park! I really don't know how you manage to consistently keep 'one upping' yourself... but I'm sure all your subscribers and viewers alike are glad that you do. Have a great weekend Jim 👍
Sweetness! That is a super cool hollow form. Love the faces, the look of the wood and the surprise with the glow in the dark bits. Super fun, unique piece!❤
OMG, OMG, OMG, Jim!! This turned out absolutely magnificent!! You have created a truly beautiful piece of ARTWORK!! You should be very proud of this piece!! Thank you for taking us along on this journey!
Even though you edit your videos so people watch them through, but it is nice that you leave as much as possible. It shows us just how much care you take in your projects. The walnut faces look like Jack Skelington from A Nightmare Before Christmas 😮🥰
Jim that is AWESOME,the burls are stunning, it's a piece that would look wonderful in a Tuscan kitchen.😘😘 Jim I hope and pray that the fires in Canada will soon be under control and that you and yours are safe,the devastation is truly awful.sending love and prayers to canada.🙏🙏🙏🙏
Another spectacular project, Jim. I like the Designer Epoxy "feature ring" with the walnuts. Some of the facial features remind me of Michael Keaton's Beetlejuice character.
I’m amazed at the variety of materials that you use in your projects. You show what you’re going to use and I think “how is he going to make that look like anything”. But you never cease to amaze me. Thank you for the hours of entertainment Linda
I love the little grinch faces 😂 the contrast between the wood and the resin is amazing and I especially love the green specs of glow in the dark above the purple. Amazing work
I am always finding half walnut shells that squirrels bury in my garden. I always think they resemble owl faces. Yours look like the Grinch to me! Very fun piece.
That's a very nice hollow form, the walnut shells make it unique. I was particularly impressed with how the resin with resin pieces blended with the red resin to eliminate any witness line.
I absolutely love those laughing faces! It makes me feel good. We all need a little good feeling. Those black walnuts really make that a beautiful piece. I also love the red in it. It's beautiful!
Watched the premier this morning, but had to get to work and couldn't comment. Beautiful piece Jim, loved the glowing faces. Your designs always amazes!
love those walnut shells... so neat looking with the faces... some of them look like Grinch smiling faces... LOVE love love it... good save with the second resin pour ... almost looks like you meant to do it...
Man, that's a lot of prep, but was it ever worth it. What a gorgeous piece. And you're absolutely right about the chatoyance.....spectacular! At the risk of sounding redundant, I don't think there's one of your videos that hasn't provided with a tip or good idea. Thanks.
VERY cool indeed! I agree with another commenter that each walnut shell looks like a slice of a brain scan, which I think works perfectly with the scary faces, the colour scheme, and the general theme. And the burl is truly stunning! Thanks Jim, this was a really fun watch!
Awesome looking piece Jim! Love those laughing walnut pieces even though they were a lot of work. I was on edge as you were cleaning up the inside. Thank goodness it all held together. Cheers
This is such a fun piece i love the grinch faces - the glow in there is cool too - glad you put the little pieces in there too add to it as well - such interest one piece
Great piece Jim. Actually gave this one a thumbs up which I don't do often as it seems with the algorithms the more thumbs up the more commercials for stuff I don't want or need.
Absolutely amazing looking hollow form. The faces turned out great. I really like the fixture you made for holding the nuts while cutting them. Definitely going to make one for my next project. Once again, great job Jim 👍👍👍👍👍.
This one is very very cool. What a good idea - you obviously put so much time and effort into placing those walnut shells individually and then sealing them with the UV resin but the results speak for themselves. Thanks for sharing - all the best!
Love this, especially with the bits of resin added. It kinda looks like it was added to begin with. They just look like they're suspended in the red. Such a cool effect. Also very cool how it glows. Fantastic piece as always😊
Absolutely stunning mate..well done..love your stuff..always inspiring me.
Update on the new lathe..i have now bought a steady rest, the coring jig, a hollowing rig and a shed load of carbide tools.
For the love of god, don't ever meet my wife!!!.....🤣🤣
That’s funny, haha! Thank you very much!
You're not the only one that's followed Jim's recommendations for turning tools.

Another incredible trip in the land of epoxy!!!
Have you found an alternative to the OneWay laser pens that keep breaking?

I agree, several of those faces reminded me of The Grinch. Love this piece, Jim. The glow in the dark chips were a neat surprise!
Thank you very much!
The burls are just stunning and the walnut shells are amazing natural forms ... the combination of the two together is just fantastic 👍
Thank you very much!

Such a creative use of material. Love the end product!

Great idea!! Thanks
That's a very nice hollow form, the walnut shells make it unique. I was particularly impressed with how the resin with resin pieces blended with the red resin to eliminate any witness line.
Me too! Thanks!
Oh boy, every week I have a new favorite piece. The new red is just beautiful. The grain on the top makes it look south western.
Thank you very much!
Really love that Jim… the colour is really . Those happy faces ❤️❤️
Thank you very much!
Love the two different burl grains.
Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!
Beautiful wood and fascinating band. Good luck with the rain.
Thank you very much!
Love this, especially with the bits of resin added. It kinda looks like it was added to begin with. They just look like they're suspended in the red. Such a cool effect. Also very cool how it glows. Fantastic piece as always😊
Thanks so much 😊
WOW. You have patience, tenacity and a ton of other adjectives to come up with this. A lot of work to achieve a beautiful piece.
Thank you very much!

I think so too! Thanks
Very nice. The walnut shells are a lot of fun.
Yes they are! Thank you very much!
Some of the faces in the shells, especially the very first one, looked like the Grinch from Dr. Seuss. Always a great project!!! 😊
Thank you very much!
Phenomenal job Jim!! PmWe are raying for Firefighters, People of Canada for relief and better days ahead. God Bless You!❤🙏
Oops edit....we are praying
Thank you very much!
Another work of art! Hava Goodun Jim!
Thanks, you too!
If it was green it definitely would look like the grinch. Beautiful designer epoxy.
Yes! Thank you!
Absolutely love the onion burle. I'm glad it turned out so beautiful, after the fight it gave you. One of your most interesting pieces for sure.
Thank you very much!
Love the look. Beautiful and whimsical. Love the grain patterns
Thank you so much!
