When your creation broke, I was dozing off (sorry, but I had worked hard and I was really tired!) I jerked awake very quickly, not understanding at first what woke me... it took alot of courage to share your disappointment 😞! I respect you all the more for it...
Beautiful! A gorgeous piece! I kept thinking that it would have been nice to see the broken edge pieces glued back in place - like an old Greek vessel - until the finial appeared! Thank you for sharing.
Hey that’s one of the beauties to doing this I would think. The creativity that goes into this. I’m amazed at the quality and brilliance of the different designs. I’m not someone who does this type of Art. Watching these I’d love to give it a go. Perhaps at some point as I have no option as of now for an place to do it. Keep up the videos please. Their a joy to watch. Thanks.
Bob Ross used to say “We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents.” Watching Sunday afternoon matinee! Much better than Gone with the Wind! We really enjoyed the show. Thanks!
Wow, that is absolutely stunning. The wood grain and your turning are in complete harmony. As the great man Bob Ross would have said we don’t make mistakes, we make happy little accidents.
I’m re- watching all your old videos.. definitely, there’s no dull moments to every project to make! Your dedication, your artistic approach, your talent- Hats Off to you, David!
Mr. DAVID ADAMSEN, I've been IN THE DARK until I VERY RECENTLY discovered your VIDEOS displaying CRAFTSMANSHIP that I FORGOT EXISTED. I am THOROUGHLY ENJOYING your EXCELLENT VIDEOS with the FITTING and BEAUTIFUL MUSICAL ADDITION. I am DRIVEN to REPRIMAND and FORGIVE MYSELF for just happening UPON this ARTFUL CHANNEL as if I were LIVING under a ROCK these PAST FEW YEARS. With that, I THANK YOU for SHARING your BLESSED TALENT as I FEEL JOYFUL and INSPIRED being REMINDED what BEAUTIFUL CREATIVITY our EXISTENCE is CAPABLE of. Sure, there are other channels displaying similar content, however, YOUR CHANNEL is MY FAVORITE...GOD BLESS YOU and GOOD LUCK young man. WORK SAFER as YOU have ANCHORED your LATHE to the FLOOR....
Of course you made the best decision, you went with your heart and it is beautiful.. 'Make the Wood Gods laugh, have a plan"! Where in Maine? Millinocket is my childhood home.
You are the artist and the call you make is always the right one. I would have liked you to leave the live edge, even broken, because the true essence of nature is chaos. And nothing in nature is perfect either. :)
Oh man! David, sorry to see that happen. When that tool cut loose like it did then I'm surprised that there wasn't a lot more damage happen and I'm happy you didn't get hurt out of the deal. Proof positive that it takes just a fraction of a second for an accident to happen. Good video just the same!
When an artist uncovers the unknown, we get the good with the bad. It's not what happens, it's what you do about it that counts. What we leave behind is ultimately important.
A professional still makes mistakes, they just have the confidence to fix it. It would be beautiful either way, like all your projects. Thanks for sharing your projects.
I love live edge pieces BUT with that said THAT FINEAL OMG 😱 it was an architectural achievement in and of itself and made that piece extraordinary!! I held my breath the whole time you were polishing it....I can finally breathe ahhhh 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The way you MASTER the piece of wood, any for that matter as I have been watching the way you go about turning a boring little piece of wood into an amazing masterpiece. Regardless of any accident during the process. Your control and expertise shine through. Congrats on your achievements . Jose from Melbourne Australia.
RIP natural edge. You were sorely missed for about 15 mins until that GORGEOUS and delicate finial was placed on top! WOW this entire piece is just amazing.
You create, you put your heart and soul into something that is meaningful to you and others. Don’t look down when there is a little mishap. Your intentions are good as you share your love for the job and the caring side in sharing your experience and expertise .Be proud that you are touching lives . Everybody who watches you knows that . Keep on doing what you are doing so beautifully . Big clap to your achievements . I used to paint but could not make a living but keep in honouring your gift. Thank you for sharing 🎸🎻🏆
In light of the missing edge piece, taking down the live edge was the best course of action. Besides the beautiful rolled edge you created really topped off the vase. Personally, I did not care for the purple lid but with that finial, it was fabulous. That is the most beautiful finial I’ve ever seen. Thank you for sharing your art.
Absolutely mesmerizing to watch this unfold. I just couldn't guess how the blackwood was going to fit in but it was triumphant. The myrtle burl was beautiful despite the loss, outstanding recovery.
Your a true artist. Only an artist doesn't give up when the original plan didn't turn out successful. Instead, an artist will see that as only a transition to a better idea. That turned out magnificent
Again I find myself here, lost in your work. Such a treat to watch this transform. Yes the live edge would have been ideal, but when we succeed from less ideal situations, maybe we grow a little more. It’s absolutely beautiful.
I think the natural edge would have been beautiful, however, the finished piece is very beautiful too. with the natural edge and a few lost pieces, i really like the way it turned out. mainly the beauty is mainly in the eye of the maker. great job.
Still a stunning and one of a kind piece... It's extremely unfortunate that happened. my heart broke when I saw your tool catch! I could only imagen how you must have felt in that moment. personally I would have glued the few pieces I had then used a torch to wood burn the "live" edges and the new edges to make them look unison. again you make absolutely stunning and one of a kind art out of the blank's you turn. I've just recently found your page and honestly can't get enough I've literally spent the past few day's watching various videos from your collection!!!
I have a different opinion than many have expressed. The lid with finial is lovely and skillfully done, though I think it would be better on a more plain bowl. It draws attention away from the beautiful burl, which is such a piece of art all on its own!
For me to watch you work far exceeds the end result. If you fail to recover, adapt and proceed for most people ends their project in failure. No one would have known of the mishap if it was not shown. This not only is a great skill piece but frees you up to go farther the fear factor once over come will allow you to go far beyond and your dream piece will start to take shape. Looking froward to seeing your skills which are already top notch push the envelop and make your art sing.
Just beautiful. If there is one thing turning has helped me command, it's patience. When mistakes happen, sometimes you just have to go with it. Thanks for sharing your work.
Wowza! This is so beautiful. I didn’t think it was going to look good without the live edge, well I was wrong! This turned out to be a great masterpiece; it’s because of your patience and knowledge of the skill that brings your creations up a level or two! Love your hard work! It’s absolutely gorgeous! Bravo!
Such an organic, Folsom looking for Norm. The kind you might see cookies in at your grandma's house at anytime I love it. You showing as many times your skills at making the finials but in this case when you attached it to that shape it took away from the project for me. Those hardlines against that soft shape just didn't work out for me. Still a thumbs-up on the project though for sure.
Man I love that African Blackwood. When you're sculpting I picture different chess pieces. Excellent execution and beautiful imagination. Best on the tube. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Super video! I applauded for $10.00 👏👏👏
Thanks so much Theodore!

She is beautiful and sophisticated now. You absolutely made the right call.
Thank you Gail!
Beautiful! A gorgeous piece! I kept thinking that it would have been nice to see the broken edge pieces glued back in place - like an old Greek vessel - until the finial appeared! Thank you for sharing.
I think you made the right decision. Whatever you made it is beautiful. Accidents to happen you recovered great.
It turned out beautiful but the best part was you didn't get injured. The watch word is CAUTION!!
David, by now you should know that turners NEVER make mistakes, but at times we do have to deal with unexpected design modifications! Great piece!
Haha thanks Howard. Yeah I always have a plan before I start a project but I’m learning that flexibility is key.

We really enjoyed the show. Thanks!
Thanks Kevin!
Sad accident, but you turned disappointment to delight with your creative recovery. Great work!
Thank you for showing the reality of turning. That’s the real art, figuring out how to work with the fallout. Bravo!
Thanks! I appreciate you!
The works of your hands are amazing. Bless your hands and your heart. 🙏
Have'nt used a lathe since junior high ( about a thousand years ago ) but would sign up for your class in an Adamsen second. Great work dude !
I think you made the right course in removing the live edge. It looks fantastic. I love it.😘❤💚💜💙💙💜💚❤🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹. It looks magnificent.
Thanks Margaret!
Thank you for sharing that beautiful piece of work.
Wow, that is absolutely stunning. The wood grain and your turning are in complete harmony. As the great man Bob Ross would have said we don’t make mistakes, we make happy little accidents.
Nice recovery. It still turned out beautifully.
Cheers! Really appreciate that!
That bowl has a huge amount of interest without the live edge. You made the right call.
That's one hell of an accident! I wish I could make accidents like that. Absolutely beautiful piece. Thank you for sharing.
I’m re- watching all your old videos.. definitely, there’s no dull moments to every project to make!
Your dedication, your artistic approach, your talent- Hats Off to you, David!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! Never a dull moment in the shop!
There is a giraffe at the top of that beautiful jar. Love It

Thanks, Jason!
My heart stopped and I yelped . You know you still managed to save the oeuvre d’art. Fabulous.
Of course you made the best decision, you went with your heart and it is beautiful..
'Make the Wood Gods laugh, have a plan"!
Where in Maine? Millinocket is my childhood home.
Beautiful. I have subbed and I also have been binge watching you all day. LOL
You must be very happy doing these. I am happy watching you result.
I just had this happen this weekend. Out it back and make it part of the embellishments. Your work is very impressive.
Nice save.... original exquisite...
Nice save! Much of woodworking or wood turning is being able to change course to fix mistakes. You really came through on this piece. Gorgeous!
Love the lathe tunes🎼
You are the artist and the call you make is always the right one. I would have liked you to leave the live edge, even broken, because the true essence of nature is chaos. And nothing in nature is perfect either. :)
You sir are not a wood turner. You are a wood sculpture. Your minds eye is amazing and you are a great inspiration to others.
Wow, thank you very much Russell. It's the wood that is beautiful! I'm just looking below the surface. Cheers!
Kismet. Things happen for a reason and we learn from it. It came out beautifully. I absolutely love the finials you make.
Now that is beautiful 😍
Hi, I am new to your videos, I liked the intros of these earlier ones. I lived in Maine as a very small girl. It was a really nice place.
Oh man! David, sorry to see that happen. When that tool cut loose like it did then I'm surprised that there wasn't a lot more damage happen and I'm happy you didn't get hurt out of the deal. Proof positive that it takes just a fraction of a second for an accident to happen. Good video just the same!
Nice save! Absolutely gorgeous
The elegance of the finial takes my breathe away.
Remember me a buddhist reliquary.
Accidents do happen. However, you made a great recovery, ending up with a lovely vessel, which is a great testimony to your skill. Well done!
Thank you Stephanie!
This was no accident. Don't encourage bad work habits.
Beautiful turning and nice music
Thank you Josephine!
When an artist uncovers the unknown, we get the good with the bad. It's not what happens, it's what you do about it that counts. What we leave behind is ultimately important.
Nice recovery I love it
A professional still makes mistakes, they just have the confidence to fix it. It would be beautiful either way, like all your projects. Thanks for sharing your projects.
Yup, losing that live edge sucked, but at that point, you had no choice. Leaving it with missing broken pieces would have looked worse. Great work!
I love live edge pieces BUT with that said THAT FINEAL OMG 😱 it was an architectural achievement in and of itself and made that piece extraordinary!! I held my breath the whole time you were polishing it....I can finally breathe ahhhh 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You are sitting on the lathe! Great idea! I will try it too))
David, A very stunning bowl, lid, & top piece, thanks for sharing your video.!.!.!.
Thank you so much, Jerry!
Are there meaningful prizes for beauty? You made a nice Save, and won that prize.

Thank you Jose!
Nice!!! extremely talented.
Absolutely gorgeous.💜💜💜💜💜💜
RIP natural edge. You were sorely missed for about 15 mins until that GORGEOUS and delicate finial was placed on top! WOW this entire piece is just amazing.
Thanks! Yeah I wish the live edge had survived but it made to design changes! 🧐
You live in an amazing place brother !!!also you make a great video and vase !! Thanks a lot for sharing !!
Thank you so much, Kostas!
Watching you work is a true pleasure. Thank you.
I'm learning so much from you ❤ Thank you soooooo much, Mr. Adamsen❣️❣️❣️
Thank you too!
What a heartbreaker! But your finished piece was gorgeous, so all things considered, yes, I think you made the right decision. :)
I personally think that it was even more beautiful after the accident. You create such awe-inspiring artwork. Thank you for sharing it.
Brilliant choice
Goodness me that was epic but a wonderful end result.
This one’s just SO beautiful
The end result was still just as impressive and fantastic ‼️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Your original idea would have been lovely, but the reduced edge is still spectacularly handsome. Thank you.
Had not seen it all when I made the comment. What a fine retrieval
Thanks Bill!
You create, you put your heart and soul into something that is meaningful to you and others. Don’t look down when there is a little mishap.

Wow, thank you Jose! I truly appreciate that!
I'm glad there was no red! And the piece still turned out beautiful.
Great job, very nice.
Thank you, Jeff!
I love the music....it is the best yet. Very comforting.
Thank you!

The finial King does it again!! That's what impresses me the most. Beautiful
Absolutely mesmerizing to watch this unfold. I just couldn't guess how the blackwood was going to fit in but it was triumphant. The myrtle burl was beautiful despite the loss, outstanding recovery.
Thank you, Dan!
wow, that's some gorgeous wood pattern!
Cheers! I wish i could take credit for that, but I can’t. 😅
This piece turned out Beautiful!
Your a true artist. Only an artist doesn't give up when the original plan didn't turn out successful. Instead, an artist will see that as only a transition to a better idea. That turned out magnificent
Wood workers adapt, and you handled it well. Awesome piece!
Thanks, Mitch!
Again I find myself here, lost in your work. Such a treat to watch this transform. Yes the live edge would have been ideal, but when we succeed from less ideal situations, maybe we grow a little more.
It’s absolutely beautiful.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Sometimes there are happy accidents... Cheers!
Wise words. If our endeavours were perfect every single time, how would we learn what to do when things fall apart.
Great save.
I think the natural edge would have been beautiful, however, the finished piece is very beautiful too. with the natural edge and a few lost pieces, i really like the way it turned out. mainly the beauty is mainly in the eye of the maker. great job.
yes, it’s right decision, it’s beautiful piece of art anyway!!,
Looks like a nice recovery.
The live edge matched the void so well but you were faced with a decision since the oops happened so still looks like a awesome piece 😎
Still a stunning and one of a kind piece... It's extremely unfortunate that happened. my heart broke when I saw your tool catch!

Thank you!
Hello David! I really like your vases and bowls. It's fine! Please tell me how you cover the finished product? Thanks! Sincerely, Alexander.
It's perfect! Your regret for losing the natural shape of the wood is the work of art!
Thanks Marcia! I appreciate that.
I think it added a classic line to an artful turning. Lemonade from lemons.
Clearly you made the right decision, it is an awesome piece!
Stunning piece! I'd love a yarn bowl like this
Super bowl and a great lid & final even without the natural edge. Outstanding project.
Thanks Brent! It didn't go as planned, but then again, most things in life don't. Much appreciated!
Great One Dave
I don't know what impressed me more, the beautiful save of the bas or the exquisite finial on top! wonderful piece!!!
Thank you very much, David! I appreciate you!
Man I love that African Blackwood. When you're sculpting I picture different chess pieces. Excellent execution and beautiful imagination. Best on the tube. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

EPIC SAVE DAVID!!! Beautiful piece brother and your skills are an inspiration 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
