- Thanks for watching and subscribing! This is my 5th filmed project, and it was a doozy! In hindsight, I should have kept the face plate on the piece in order to line it up with the tail stock in order to avoid being so off-center on the mortise.
Let me know in the comments if you think I made the right decision to remove the remains of the live-edge. It's a pity to have lost so much of the burl in that process, but I think the end result is pretty nice.
Please consider subscribing, liking, commenting, and sharing! It helps my channel grow, and I very much appreciate the feedback and support.

Thanks again!
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.
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.

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.
Exactly. Blessings.
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!
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!
Thanks Kevin!
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!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! Never a dull moment in the shop!
She is beautiful and sophisticated now. You absolutely made the right call.
Thank you Gail!
The works of your hands are amazing. Bless your hands and your heart. 🙏
Watching you work is a true pleasure. Thank you.
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...
Kismet. Things happen for a reason and we learn from it. It came out beautifully. I absolutely love the finials you make.
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.
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! 🧐
I think you made the right course in removing the live edge. It looks fantastic. I love it.😘❤💚💜💙💙💜💚❤🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹. It looks magnificent.
Thanks Margaret!
Sad accident, but you turned disappointment to delight with your creative recovery. Great work!
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.
I think you made the right decision. Whatever you made it is beautiful. Accidents to happen you recovered great.
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
There is a giraffe at the top of that beautiful jar. Love It
Your original idea would have been lovely, but the reduced edge is still spectacularly handsome. Thank you.
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!
Thank you for sharing that beautiful piece of work.
That bowl has a huge amount of interest without the live edge. You made the right call.
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....
Thanks, Jason!
My heart stopped and I yelped . You know you still managed to save the oeuvre d’art. Fabulous.
David, A very stunning bowl, lid, & top piece, thanks for sharing your video.!.!.!.
Thank you so much, Jerry!
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!
I didn’t realize I was so emotionally attached until the live edge broke off. I was devastated 😢
Aw thanks! I was pretty discouraged at that point.
Same here Bomb. I sat up in my chair and said WTF?!
Lastman Standing the interwebs a funny thing huh? 😂
@@tbs1533 Yes it is. FYI, it's past midnight here and I've been watching wood turning videos for the past two and a half hours...with no end in sight! Guess you are hooked too. 👍
The elegance of the finial takes my breathe away.
Remember me a buddhist reliquary.
That's one hell of an accident! I wish I could make accidents like that. Absolutely beautiful piece. Thank you for sharing.
I'm glad there was no red! And the piece still turned out beautiful.
My heart broke when those edge piees went flying, but with the lid and oncredibly delicate spire were attached...magic happened!
I personally think that it was even more beautiful after the accident. You create such awe-inspiring artwork. Thank you for sharing it.
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!
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 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I'm learning so much from you ❤ Thank you soooooo much, Mr. Adamsen❣️❣️❣️
Thank you too!
Nice recovery. It still turned out beautifully.
Cheers! Really appreciate that!
It turned out beautiful but the best part was you didn't get injured. The watch word is CAUTION!!
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.
Thank you Jose!
Humans make mistakes everyday so removing the live edge was correct!! NO reason to advertise the error and it still came out beautiful. I like it with the end results.
I love the mix of woods. It’s a beauty. ❤
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!
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.
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. 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 🎸🎻🏆
Wow, thank you Jose! I truly appreciate that!
I've literally started trying my hand at wood turning two days back, for the first time; this is one of those inspiring videos & also not to give up after making mistakes - 💪🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much Kelvin! That’s right! Never give up until you are satisfied. As some people like to tease in comments, there is no such thing as a woodturning mistake, just a design modification opportunity! Just be safe, take your time, challenge yourself, and have fun!
Kelvin Appelgren try making some pens they are ez and fun to make and they sale good
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.
Wow thank you so much! I appreciate you!
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 must be very happy doing these. I am happy watching you result.
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.
I love the music....it is the best yet. Very comforting.
Thank you!
I think it added a classic line to an artful turning. Lemonade from lemons.
Beautiful turning and nice music
Thank you Josephine!
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!
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.
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 😎
Stunning piece! I'd love a yarn bowl like this
The finial King does it again!! That's what impresses me the most. Beautiful
Any day in the shop without blood or dismemberment is a good day.
The end result was still just as impressive and fantastic ‼️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
What a heartbreaker! But your finished piece was gorgeous, so all things considered, yes, I think you made the right decision. :)
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.
Thanks Daniel! So true...
can you just make an hour long video of that landscape... BEAUTIFUL...
Works both ways…since there is a void in the side of the piece, a jagged rim would have been fine, but your decision to remove it and add the lid and finial gives the piece a unique style…love the combination of rustic and finished…👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you!
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!
Another stunner‼️ Beautiful ‼️🦦🌈
Thank you Judith!
Yea, sanding the inside with the spinning live edge was entertaining. I think you made the correct choice in removing the remnants. Looked just beautiful when you finished.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
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!
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 !
Beautiful outcome as always I loved the live edge too!
wow, that's some gorgeous wood pattern!
Cheers! I wish i could take credit for that, but I can’t. 😅
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.
It's a shame that the live edge broke, but what you did with it looks fantastic. Isn't that what art is? Making beauty from what we have? Good looking piece!
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. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Thank you very much! I really appreciate that! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
I just had this happen this weekend. Out it back and make it part of the embellishments. Your work is very impressive.
Oh you did a Good job and saved It. Beautiful
Thank you!
Goodness me that was epic but a wonderful end result.
Beautiful creation👍👍👍 even with all the issues
Thank you!
Clearly you made the right decision, it is an awesome piece!
What a beautiful colour and pattern.
Thank you!
Absolutely gorgeous.💜💜💜💜💜💜
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!!!
yes, it’s right decision, it’s beautiful piece of art anyway!!,
No accidents just happy beautiful result ❤❤❤
Thank you!
I am a visual artist, and I'm not happy little accidents when painting, but I do love a piece of unwanted construction when it gives strenght to the piece. This vase looks even better with the crack, it has depth. I fully support not patching it up with resin, IMO resin turns a beautiful piece of wood into a chinese cheap shop knockoff. Love the outcome.
Thank you! ✌️
Super video! I applauded for $10.00 👏👏👏
Thanks so much Theodore!
This is a great original masterpiece that's the best thing about this it comes out how it comes out & you accept it for what it is. Great Job !!!!!!
Thanks so much, Skee!
Love the lathe tunes🎼
You are sitting on the lathe! Great idea! I will try it too))
EPIC SAVE DAVID!!! Beautiful piece brother and your skills are an inspiration 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
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!
That is one gorgeous "accident"!
Sometimes you just got to go with the flow. That’s what art calls us to do.
Thank you so much, Cheri!
Yes, you might have done a more original piece without breaking the tip of the vase, but originality and authenticity are flexible terms my friend, you've saved the piece, that what matters the most, and after saving it, you revived it like a phoenix from the ashes to a beautiful masterpiece... Well done Dave :)
Thank you so much!
You Sir, are a master wood turner. I think that's the most beautiful piece I've seen. It deserves to be in a high-end art gallery.
Thanks Alan, you’re very kind!
Superb you are a Master Craftsman David
Thanks so much Ray!
An extraordinarily beautiful work of art. I also enjoyed the music very much. Thanks for both.
Thank you so much, Pat!
Absolutely beautiful! Definitely the right decision to remove the live edge 👍
