I finally had the chance to show your videos my elderly father yesterday! He absolutely loved them. (I did have to fast forward for him a few times… he was getting anxious to see the final products. Lol). We sat and talked about everything he saw for hours. He didn’t know anything about Designer Epoxy so I told him what I’ve learned and tried to look up things he asked. It was an amazing day. He wants to teach me a few of his skills (I don’t know if he really can). So thank you! I just wish I would have recorded him talking.
My wife and I just started watching. I’ve watched several wood turning channels and she has never really been interested until we started watching you. Thank you for your content.
It didn't crack because you jinxed it!! 😅 I have to say, I was just as shocked as you were!! I've been dying to see a mother of pearl cast, and a clear one with your spare bubbles in it, so thank you Jim!! You knocked one off my wish list!! This is GORGEOUS!!!!
I'm home alone with my dog all day long. I don't enjoy talking to myself, I do enjoy learning & creative processes. I specifically watch your videos because you have voice overs and it keeps my dog from whining at me all day long. Thank you & keep up the excellent work!
This is beautiful but the Ocean Cave is still my favorite piece. You're right,that first coat really brings things to life. Please keep the voice overs Jim. I'm just an old lady that loves your channel and I know nothing about turning, so hearing you explain things as you go makes it more interesting. Stay safe in all this cold.
You are a lady who is old. But you are not “just” an old lady. No such thing. I agree with you that the Ocean Cave is my favourite, and Jim should keep the voiceovers. - an old lady
I'm not a wood worker, and I dont know crap diddly squat about resin, but the way you do these and explain it throughout the video I find it very interesting, so I give it a like, threw in a comment and hit the subcribe button. Well wishes and cheers to many more subscribers!
I am totally captivated by your work. I’m a city girl who has some small town roots, so even though I don’t do any kind of wood working, I very much appreciate the skill. I also love your voice and even if I use it to lull me to sleep, I always rewind and watch the same video over and over until I see the entire thing. I have shared your videos many times and look forward to your future content.
I just started watching you a few days ago and I cannot stop. You are simply amazing and very talented. I wish I could afford one of your pieces but I’m a single mom with a fixed income but thank you for showing people you’re awesome work.
I can’t explain the lack of cracking but I can say it’s an absolutely stunning piece!! Please don’t give up the voiceover. As a non turner I very much appreciate it and love your explanations. Thanks for the videos 😁
The voice overs are a large part of why I watch. As a wood turner, your discussions about tools & techniques give me insight into your processes and inspirations for techniques I might consider.
Jim, I personally love your voice-overs. You provide me with very helpful information and tips that save me time and $. If someone does not want to listen they can mute you. I am using a lot more Designer Epoxy these days thanks to you.
always blown away from your work. never get rid of the voiceovers!! its one of my favorite aspects of your videos bc i absolutely love your commentary on your thought process with your work.
It is FANTASTIC.. I LOVE IT. I learn so much from your voiceovers. I will never be able to do woodturning due to circumstances but I love to watch and learn the wording and guess what you are doing next. Thanks for the entertainment..
Yay! Keep talking! There are plenty of wood turning channels with no voice over for people looking for that. I love hearing your thought process as you work.
The contrast between the Designer Epoxy and the wood really stands out and when you put the Waterlux Gloss on really makes the whole thing just jump. WOW! Don’t drop the voiceover, I like them!
You deserve at least 600 subscribers every day. Your work speaks for itself and your demeanor is spot on. On top of that, you have inspired me to start using resin with my turnings. I love my Friday mornings with Sprague wood turning.
I love your voice overs. Could listen to you for hours. Often fall asleep watching your videos, and then waking to them too because of the algorithm. Don't stop being you. Truly love the joy you've brought to my life with these videos. Currently watching now. 3rd in. Take care Jim. Much love Katrina UK x
I'd much rather hear you talking and discussing your design, the method of how things work, and all the things you tell us OVER the horrendous music some people expose us to. THANK YOU JIM for everything you and share with us!!! To allow us to come into your workshop and peer over your shoulder while you do your hobby and create beautiful masterpieces of art, WE are the blessed ones to receive such gifts from you!!!
I just love watching your videos. As a jewelry creator myself I start with a design and work toward it. But you change your vision as you go...I find it intriguing to see you go through your process. Such talent.
I’ve been watching your videos on my large screen TV fora few months now, and I have really enjoyed your lessons. I always wanted to learn to turn, but never had the opportunity so I am watching vicariously now. I have wanted to comment several times but I finally realized that I could use my not so smart phone. So hopefully this won’t be my last comment. Thank you for all your beautiful work and creativity. Cleta
This reminds me of a piece of chocolate and caramel hard candy. The yellowing works well with the hyper shift. I love it. Please keep the voiceovers. They really add to the video. Another great piece.👍
I love that you use challenging wood, scrap pieces and such. Gives beginner, and cost conscious, wood turners options they might not have thought to try! Ways to make money from low cost supplies is always a win. Also, I love seeing how these projects turn out because it highlights your amazing skills, experience and eye for design. 🎉 I’m also enjoying hearing the technical details of the turning process.
Yep, wow. Lovely turquoise mother of pearl. Thank you for sharing, Jim. As you are an artist, you are a teacher as well; you keep on doing what you do, please.
Beautiful piece🤩 really like the yellow. Compliments the blue&purple. And I agree with another comment I read, if people don’t like the voice-over. They can turn down the volume. Keep up the amazing work 👍
A pressure pot can increase the temperature in the resin, not always the case it is a factor. a vacuum chamber causes the resin to have a lower boiling temperature but helps with penetration. I think the minor cracks are because the wood acted as an thermal insulator holding the heat at that point while the open thick resin area just moved it out to the shop temperature. This is from my experience anyway. also i would suggest checking out rusty design and their slowq epoxy - never had any issue when i switched over to them and its made in Ontario (or so they say)
Thank you again for treating us to a master class start to finish. I call it a class because you do take the time to teach. Now I will probably never turn a piece of wood in my lifetime, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy your commentary. There are plenty of channels without commentary, they aren't my style. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Great bowl Jim. Please don't give up the voice over. I always learn something from listening to the commentary. That's why i watch ever week. Designer epoxy.
Designer Epoxy...I love your voice and learning about this craft. The whole reason I quit watching 2 other youtubers is because they never talk while making things. Love that hyper shift!!!
I'm a potter and crocheter so I completely understand how pricing artwork is hard because most people don't understand the time that goes into it. ETA: I love the end result of this piece. It kinda reminds me of the inside of an oyster shell.
Please do not shutup. In joy your voice over, I get a lot of info from them. The Hypershift looks great, the amounts of wood is great, on top and bottom. I even like the yellowing on top. Great job. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎
Hi Jim, I totally love the vase. The colours are very pretty. Turned out beautiful. Don't stop the voice overs I enjoy them. Walnut is a gorgeous wood and the colour shifts totally Amazing. Have a great weekend.
Do not give up the voice overs. I like to hear you describe what you are doing as another masterpiece takes shape. I found this one very different. Beautiful “sparkle and shine”, and I love the purple touch.
Jim, another awesome piece. And please! Do not stop the voiceovers! I watch to learn and find your commentary extremely valuable. Keep it coming and recommend the ‘mute’ button to those who prefer to watch in silence.
DO NOT give up the voiceovers. I don't know how long I have been watching these videos but it was from before you started using epoxy and you even showed the making of the odd pepper mill 😂. People can use the volume control if they feel the need. I enjoy listening to you rabbiting on. Don't stop.👍
DESIGNER EPOXY: Don't you dare listen to the nay sayers, your voice overs are the reason I like your channel, keep them up. Plus I like the play by play of what you are doing. I just drove a 1000 miles to pick up an old Powermatic 90 lathe. I worked on one years ago and really liked how sturdy it was. Of course I did pick something else up while there that was a large fork lift for my business. I learn by watching and doing. Books are great but hands on is really how we learn the finer points of a craft. Keep showing us how so I can learn by doing. Thanks, love your channel
I don't think there's not enough wood. The word contrast with the hyper shift is amazing. It's the purple and blues and that are so cool. I would hope that no one would complain about it. It is a beautiful piece.
I'm not a wood turner I like your videos because of your creativity and your voice overs are very informative I have tried watching other channels but I don't care for them because they don't explain why or how their piece took shape
Jim I love that hypershift!! I'd love to see a dark color with extra hypershift!! Like a dark blue, black, maroon or purple. As usual thank you for another great video! And for the people that don't want to hear your commentary they can mute of cut the volume down but I want to hear it and I appreciate it. You actually teach something when you speak or have interesting things to say. Your true viewers enjoy your videos exactly how they are. So thank you!
I am shocked that there wasn't a ton of cracks all over that piece.. I would have never tried using a piece of gnarly wood like that either. WOW!! Jim, this piece is a little payday for those pieces that shouldn't have had problems, that did! I love the way you do your videos as they are. Dont let the naysayers try to change what you do. You are the one with all these subscribers. Once again thank you Sir!!
There is some new tech in concrete where they are using nano-particles to strengthen it, and I am wondering of the hyper-shift flakes may be doing something like that in this case. The way that the pattern appeared (small circles on top, and long features on sides, seems to indicate that it bubbled, or rose in small thermal columns, which made me think the hypershift was involved.
I agree with you that more wood would have made it even nicer. I do love the color shift. Thanks for sticking with the voice overs. As I have said before, I truly appreciate them. Designer Epoxy
I would love to see you beginning to make a hollow form, taking it off the lathe, and taking a sledgehammer to it multiple times. The gold repair would be fantastic.
Wow, so many new subs! Guess a lot of people love watching you turn big resin projects. You really have come a long way since your early days of walnut bowls with different rim inlays. Glad Designer Epoxy is making it all possible for you to produce these unique turnings. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love the hypershift! Despite the "yellowing," I don't think it really detracts from the piece. This has to be among one of my most favored of your turnings completed with resin! As a woodcarver I appreciate your willingness to "step out there" and try something new. It's all a learning experience!
I’ve been watching for a long time. I don’t usually comment because I’m watching on TV and there is nowhere to comment when you watch on TV. You do great work. The underwater cave piece was by far my favorite. I like the transparency
Every week I think you have completed your masterpiece and then the following week, you create another. That hyper shift is magnificent and the walnut ain't bad for wood that wasn't even fit for the fire. Adding this comment before you decide on a name - if it were mine, I would call it The Cinnabon 😊 beautiful.
I love your voice overs! Your videos help me sleep, though I do tend to fight sleep while trying to watch cause your projects always turn out beautiful, I have an extreme anxiety? I guess? When it comes to hearing mouth noises when people talk. You're one of the few TH-camrs I can watch with earbuds in because you don't make many mouth noises when you talk. I appreciate you and your work!
It turned yellow like that because of how old the resin was. Once it gets past 12 to 14 months it will get progressively more yellow...even more than what you achieved. It can be a great look so it's worth using the older resin. Not only will a dark color mask the yellow but you need to be careful which color you use. For instance purple is opposite yellow on the color wheel and opposites can give you grey or even brown depending on the opacity and if it is a red or blue purple. You can also achieve more colors if you add pigment that is a complimentary color. For instance if you add a touch of light blue you will get a really cool green color. I do resin art and not wood turning but I have been watching your channel for over a year...I believe you had 40k subscribers when I started watching. I just become enthralled throughout the whole process. And to those who think there isn't enough wood. Variety is the spice of life!!! Not every piece will need a majority of wood. Sorry not sorry...just saying! Designer Epoxy
Jim, I'm very pleased that you are going to keep doing the voice overs on your videos. You are right - even for non-woodworkers like me, it is fascinating to hear how you make your decisions and all the information you pass on. Regarding this piece, I'm not bothered about how much wood is in the hollow form. The piece looks amazing, and the colours are beautiful. Again the Hypershift is doing most of the heavy lifting, and, man, it is good! I'm not surprised you love it and use it as much as you do!! Once again you have taken a piece of old wood that wouldn't even be good for firewood and turned it into a beautiful piece of art! Well done, sir, very well done!
It feels more golden than yellow to me, a nice warm tone that goes really well with the wood. The pattern in the epoxy is amazing as well. So gorgeous. 🙂
This piece reminds me of opals! Opals aren’t exactly pure white. They have hints of purple, blue, and pink. You’ve just added the amazing element of wood. Beautiful!
I just came upon your channel this week. I say, keep your voiceovers. It provides information of what you're doing and why. Your explaining your work makes it even more interesting. I almost want to learn woodturning. I knew of woodturning but was never interested until watching a few of your videos (I basically binge-watched several of your videos back to back). Watching, has made me value the work and skill behind woodturning.
I really like the Opalescent look of the hypershift! Please keep the voice overs. I am one of those people who gets valuable knowledge from them. Designer Epoxy
😮😊 I like the yellow, it shows off the wood and other colors. KEEP TALKING PLEASE! If folks want silence there's a volume control. Thanks for the beauty you bring to us
Never give up the voiceovers! I agree with other commenters, if people don't like it then they can turn the sound off! I don't understand why people bother complaining, such a silly issue 🤷♀️ I love this piece! I love the shape, I love the wood, I love the yellow colour! Maybe it didn't thermal crack because it knew it had that gorgeous shimmery honey-gold already and didn't need any extra sparkle 😂 The patterns the hypershift made are glorious too, I am a big fan of the swirly iridescent depth. Thank you Jim, beautiful work this week. I'm sure someone will snap up last week's beauty soon as well. If it were purple instead of pink I'd be pining for it, I adored everything about it except the pink! And congrats on hitting 115k, you'll be at 200k before you know it!
I love this piece and I particularly like the voice over, this is what elevates your channel above the many other woodturning channels. Keep up the good work Jim, you’re a star.
Jim, my wife and I really enjoy your work! We are picking up tips along the way as we want to start integrating epoxy in with our wood turning. Thank you for sharing the videos! Blessings, Jay & Patty
First off, I love your videos and am constantly learning and gaining new ideas. Thank you! Not sure why it didn't crack, but I have been turning with table top pours for several years with very few issues.
I very much appreciate the voice overs! If folks don’t like hearing you talk…it’s called MUTE!
Agreed, thanks!
I agree with you. I love the voiceovers.
And I'm so glad he doesn't put music over it. Big fan of voice and ambient sound.
🙌🏼👏🏼🙌🏼👏🏼🙌🏼👏🏼
BTW Do NOT shut up. I’m here to watch you AND hear you discuss your work.
I finally had the chance to show your videos my elderly father yesterday! He absolutely loved them. (I did have to fast forward for him a few times… he was getting anxious to see the final products. Lol). We sat and talked about everything he saw for hours. He didn’t know anything about Designer Epoxy so I told him what I’ve learned and tried to look up things he asked. It was an amazing day. He wants to teach me a few of his skills (I don’t know if he really can). So thank you! I just wish I would have recorded him talking.
Oh wow! That is so nice! I’m happy my videos inspired a special memory with your father! Thank you so much for sharing!
What a sweet memory for you to treasure forever! What will it be that your kids will share with you?
My wife and I just started watching. I’ve watched several wood turning channels and she has never really been interested until we started watching you. Thank you for your content.
Wow, thank you! And thanks for watching!
It didn't crack because you jinxed it!! 😅 I have to say, I was just as shocked as you were!! I've been dying to see a mother of pearl cast, and a clear one with your spare bubbles in it, so thank you Jim!! You knocked one off my wish list!! This is GORGEOUS!!!!
Thank you very much!
I am 83 years old, never worked wood, but look forward to your videos and voice overs. Fascinating and most beautiful. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
I'm home alone with my dog all day long. I don't enjoy talking to myself, I do enjoy learning & creative processes. I specifically watch your videos because you have voice overs and it keeps my dog from whining at me all day long. Thank you & keep up the excellent work!
Love that! Thanks!
This is beautiful but the Ocean Cave is still my favorite piece. You're right,that first coat really brings things to life. Please keep the voice overs Jim. I'm just an old lady that loves your channel and I know nothing about turning, so hearing you explain things as you go makes it more interesting. Stay safe in all this cold.
You are a lady who is old. But you are not “just” an old lady.
No such thing.

That hyper shift is absolutely gorgeous especially combined with the walnut ❤ . Awesome job Jim ❤️ keep the voice overs coming, I love learning ❤
Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!

Awesome! Thank you, and welcome aboard!

Wonderful! Thank you very much! Much appreciated!
This piece is absolutely stunning. My absolute favorite.
Thank you very much!
I just started watching you a few days ago and I cannot stop. You are simply amazing and very talented. I wish I could afford one of your pieces but I’m a single mom with a fixed income but thank you for showing people you’re awesome work.
Thank you so much! Welcome to my channel!
I can’t explain the lack of cracking but I can say it’s an absolutely stunning piece!! Please don’t give up the voiceover. As a non turner I very much appreciate it and love your explanations. Thanks for the videos 😁

I only wish TH-cam would let me put more than one thumb up.
👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you very much!
The way my jaw droped when you pulled the casting out and there was no thermal cracks... Just wow. Great piece!
Thanks so much!
I just love watching your videos. As a jewelry creator myself I start with a design and work toward it. But you change your vision as you go...I find it intriguing to see you go through your process. Such talent.
Thank you very much!
Excellent.! Like hearing your voice -overs.

@@donaldciccarone5519 sir. I think you mistakenly replied to my comment instead of making a separate one. Best try again if you want epoxy draw 👍
OMG! THIS PIECE IS STUNNING! It’s in your top 5! More like top 2! GORGEOUS! STUNNING! You have outdone yourself!
Wow, thank you!
My mum and I loved how the old yellow resin and the hyper-shift made the resin look like mother of pearl. We loved it
Yes it does! Thanks again!
Jim it’s always a pleasure and sometimes I look forward to watching every week…… you are such a hoot! “You’re Not In Charge, I Am!” 😂
😂😂 Thank you so much!
I'm in love with that pigment! This one is beautiful!!!!
Thanks so much!

You are absolutely right! Thanks!
I know nothing about wood turning but love to watch you make beautiful pieces.
Thank you very much!
Yep, wow. Lovely turquoise mother of pearl.
Thank you for sharing, Jim.
As you are an artist, you are a teacher as well; you keep on doing what you do, please.

WOW, that hyper shift is fantastic. The yellow is like gold. Just the right shade.
I think so too! Thanks
I love your voice overs! Please don't stop doing them.
Never will. Thanks
DO NOT give up the voiceovers. I don't know how long I have been watching these videos but it was from before you started using epoxy and you even showed the making of the odd pepper mill 😂. People can use the volume control if they feel the need. I enjoy listening to you rabbiting on. Don't stop.👍
Thanks for sticking with me! I will keep on talking! Majority rules! Thanks so much!
I love how you have a bucket from the same place you got the glue to glue the wood in.
I carried the glue out of the store with it too, lol. Thank you very much!
Designer Epoxy I love what you do and don't stop with the voice overs, like me.. we enjoy learning new things.
Awesome, thank you!
DESIGNER EPOXY: Don't you dare listen to the nay sayers, your voice overs are the reason I like your channel, keep them up. Plus I like the play by play of what you are doing. I just drove a 1000 miles to pick up an old Powermatic 90 lathe. I worked on one years ago and really liked how sturdy it was. Of course I did pick something else up while there that was a large fork lift for my business. I learn by watching and doing. Books are great but hands on is really how we learn the finer points of a craft. Keep showing us how so I can learn by doing. Thanks, love your channel
Awesome! Thank you very much!
I ran across your videos by accident this weekend and watched like 10 of them. Your work is amazing. I love the mix of wood and epoxy
Thanks so much! Welcome!
I definitely like the voiceovers. It's a whole lot easier to learn when there is some explanation! I really like this piece. It may be my favorite.
Glad you like it! Thanks
I don't think there's not enough wood. The word contrast with the hyper shift is amazing. It's the purple and blues and that are so cool. I would hope that no one would complain about it. It is a beautiful piece.
Thanks so much!
I'm not a wood turner I like your videos because of your creativity and your voice overs are very informative I have tried watching other channels but I don't care for them because they don't explain why or how their piece took shape
Thank you very much! Great to hear!
This reminds me of light covers from schools back in the day. Only better!
Thank you very much!
Unbelievable that people actually tell you to shut up?? It’s like they think they can say anything… 🤬
I enjoy your commentary. I find it comforting.
Lots of aholes in the world, lol. Thanks
Jim I love that hypershift!! I'd love to see a dark color with extra hypershift!! Like a dark blue, black, maroon or purple. As usual thank you for another great video! And for the people that don't want to hear your commentary they can mute of cut the volume down but I want to hear it and I appreciate it. You actually teach something when you speak or have interesting things to say. Your true viewers enjoy your videos exactly how they are. So thank you!
I agree. That’s what the mute button is for. 😂. Thank you so much!
What an unusual look, but pretty in its own right. Designer Epoxy
Thanks so much!
I still think your work is genius! God bless you for letting us see it all!
Wow, thank you!
I love when things don't go as planned, but beauty is still accomplished
Thank you very much!
At least your voice overs pertain to your work. Some turners ramble about their personal lives. Keep doing what you're doing. Beautiful piece.
Thank you very much!
The peice is great. When I could see the hypershift working, wow. The Designer epoxy gives a nice finish. I is a deep clear finish.
Thank you very much!
I am shocked that there wasn't a ton of cracks all over that piece.. I would have never tried using a piece of gnarly wood like that either. WOW!! Jim, this piece is a little payday for those pieces that shouldn't have had problems, that did! I love the way you do your videos as they are. Dont let the naysayers try to change what you do. You are the one with all these subscribers. Once again thank you Sir!!
There is some new tech in concrete where they are using nano-particles to strengthen it, and I am wondering of the hyper-shift flakes may be doing something like that in this case. The way that the pattern appeared (small circles on top, and long features on sides, seems to indicate that it bubbled, or rose in small thermal columns, which made me think the hypershift was involved.
Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!
I agree with you that more wood would have made it even nicer. I do love the color shift. Thanks for sticking with the voice overs. As I have said before, I truly appreciate them. Designer Epoxy
Thanks for watching! And I appreciate your comments!
All I can say is it is absolutely beautiful! 😊❤
Thank you so much!
I love the look of the hypershift in this piece!!!!!
Thanks so much!
I would love to see you beginning to make a hollow form, taking it off the lathe, and taking a sledgehammer to it multiple times. The gold repair would be fantastic.
This can be done, and you never know, you just might see it here, lol. Thanks
Wow, so many new subs! Guess a lot of people love watching you turn big resin projects. You really have come a long way since your early days of walnut bowls with different rim inlays. Glad Designer Epoxy is making it all possible for you to produce these unique turnings. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much!
Love the hypershift! Despite the "yellowing," I don't think it really detracts from the piece. This has to be among one of my most favored of your turnings completed with resin! As a woodcarver I appreciate your willingness to "step out there" and try something new. It's all a learning experience!
It is. Thank you so much!
I’ve been watching for a long time. I don’t usually comment because I’m watching on TV and there is nowhere to comment when you watch on TV. You do great work. The underwater cave piece was by far my favorite. I like the transparency
Thanks so much! I watch mostly on TV as well! Thanks for your comment!
Thank you very much!
Every week I think you have completed your masterpiece and then the following week, you create another. That hyper shift is magnificent and the walnut ain't bad for wood that wasn't even fit for the fire. Adding this comment before you decide on a name - if it were mine, I would call it The Cinnabon 😊 beautiful.
Wow! Thank you so much!
This is another beautiful pot. And I love your voiceovers. We learn as much listening as we learn by watching.dont stop teaching
Thank you, I won’t!
I love hypershift colours too… please don’t stop the voice over, I like it and always pick up good tips. Thanks
Thank you! Will do!
I know nothing about this and I'm fascinated.
Lol. Welcome aboard! Thanks
I love your voice overs! Your videos help me sleep, though I do tend to fight sleep while trying to watch cause your projects always turn out beautiful, I have an extreme anxiety? I guess? When it comes to hearing mouth noises when people talk. You're one of the few TH-camrs I can watch with earbuds in because you don't make many mouth noises when you talk. I appreciate you and your work!
Happy you enjoy my videos and are able to watch them! Take care!
That HyperShift is GORGEOUS!!! It makes the piece come alive.
Thank you very much!
Jim you have a knack to bring out the best in each piece. Love it🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
Thanks so much!
Very nice piece. Do NOT eliminate the voice-overs. They are a valuable accompaniment to watching you create your art..
Thank you so much!
It turned yellow like that because of how old the resin was. Once it gets past 12 to 14 months it will get progressively more yellow...even more than what you achieved. It can be a great look so it's worth using the older resin. Not only will a dark color mask the yellow but you need to be careful which color you use. For instance purple is opposite yellow on the color wheel and opposites can give you grey or even brown depending on the opacity and if it is a red or blue purple. You can also achieve more colors if you add pigment that is a complimentary color. For instance if you add a touch of light blue you will get a really cool green color. I do resin art and not wood turning but I have been watching your channel for over a year...I believe you had 40k subscribers when I started watching. I just become enthralled throughout the whole process. And to those who think there isn't enough wood. Variety is the spice of life!!! Not every piece will need a majority of wood. Sorry not sorry...just saying!
Designer Epoxy
Thanks so much and for watching all this time! Much appreciated!
The color of the wood and the resin compliment each other so well. I love the organic look of this piece ❤❤
Thank you! Cheers!
Jim, I'm very pleased that you are going to keep doing the voice overs on your videos. You are right - even for non-woodworkers like me, it is fascinating to hear how you make your decisions and all the information you pass on.
Regarding this piece, I'm not bothered about how much wood is in the hollow form. The piece looks amazing, and the colours are beautiful. Again the Hypershift is doing most of the heavy lifting, and, man, it is good! I'm not surprised you love it and use it as much as you do!! Once again you have taken a piece of old wood that wouldn't even be good for firewood and turned it into a beautiful piece of art! Well done, sir, very well done!
Thank you very much!
This is by far my favorite love the yellow
Thanks very much!
It feels more golden than yellow to me, a nice warm tone that goes really well with the wood. The pattern in the epoxy is amazing as well. So gorgeous. 🙂
Yes it is more gold. Thank you so much!
This piece reminds me of opals! Opals aren’t exactly pure white. They have hints of purple, blue, and pink. You’ve just added the amazing element of wood. Beautiful!
You are right! Thank you very much!
I just came upon your channel this week. I say, keep your voiceovers. It provides information of what you're doing and why. Your explaining your work makes it even more interesting. I almost want to learn woodturning. I knew of woodturning but was never interested until watching a few of your videos (I basically binge-watched several of your videos back to back). Watching, has made me value the work and skill behind woodturning.
Welcome aboard! Wow! Thank you so much for you comments! Much appreciated!
Welcome aboard! Wow! Thank you so much for you comments! Much appreciated!
Good call on the voice over. I've been watching you for a couple of years and I'm still learning from you.
Anyone who complains has a mute button.
Agreed, thanks!
I really like the Opalescent look of the hypershift!
Please keep the voice overs. I am one of those people who gets valuable knowledge from them.
Designer Epoxy
Will do! Thanks
It almost looks like alabaster or mother of Pearl! Beautiful!
Agreed, opal is another one people are saying too. Thank you very much!
😮😊 I like the yellow, it shows off the wood and other colors.
KEEP TALKING PLEASE! If folks want silence there's a volume control.
Thanks for the beauty you bring to us
Thank you, I will
Never give up the voiceovers! I agree with other commenters, if people don't like it then they can turn the sound off! I don't understand why people bother complaining, such a silly issue 🤷♀️
I love this piece! I love the shape, I love the wood, I love the yellow colour! Maybe it didn't thermal crack because it knew it had that gorgeous shimmery honey-gold already and didn't need any extra sparkle 😂
The patterns the hypershift made are glorious too, I am a big fan of the swirly iridescent depth.
Thank you Jim, beautiful work this week. I'm sure someone will snap up last week's beauty soon as well. If it were purple instead of pink I'd be pining for it, I adored everything about it except the pink!
And congrats on hitting 115k, you'll be at 200k before you know it!
The pink is quite muted and only seen a certain angles. Thank you very much!
I love this piece and I particularly like the voice over, this is what elevates your channel above the many other woodturning channels. Keep up the good work Jim, you’re a star.
Wow, thank you!
Jim, my wife and I really enjoy your work! We are picking up tips along the way as we want to start integrating epoxy in with our wood turning. Thank you for sharing the videos!
Blessings, Jay & Patty
That is awesome! Thanks so much!
First off, I love your videos and am constantly learning and gaining new ideas. Thank you! Not sure why it didn't crack, but I have been turning with table top pours for several years with very few issues.
Thanks so much!
If the camera doesn't show the hyper shift as much as in person... WOW! Love it
Thank you very much!
