As a pastel and charcoal portrait artist I never, never thought resin or epoxy could make a fine art piece. Boy, did you make me change my mind. This piece is so fine! lol
Watching this I recall a colleague’s comment of me (I’m a software engineer) - ‘you never make stupid mistakes, only very very clever ones’. Ha! Great recovery!
Thank you so much for sharing your gift with us. You say your videos are to long but they are not. Your videos go so fast because your teaching and making us laugh. Another beautiful piece.
I'm glad you don't pretend to never have a problem with your work. You share the problem and how you fix it. You teach as much as you create your pieces. THANK YOU .
I rarely ever comment, but I wanted to tell you how much I love your commentary. I have watched other woodturners, but after watching you, I always come back to rewatch your videos because you explain what went wrong, how it didn't turn out to your vision, and how you problem solve. As an artist, I find it encouraging. Let's be real, it's not often that projects happen without incident. Painting, charcoal portraits, whatever the project, there's always something that happens. I find you inspiring. Thank you for sharing both the ups and downs of your process. Please don't ever stop.
I like it when creators show the mistakes that happen in the videos. I agree with you, Jim. You show your repairs and mistakes. Thanks for the excellent content and your works of art!
Always show the "not what I intended" and how you deal with it. Nothing more frustrating for someone new or learning than only showing the perfect stuff. Tends to inspire the I can't attitude when everybody else seems to make it perfect every time.
As a machinist who's medium is almost always metal/steel, your internal work is very impressive. Anytime while boring you lose rigidity on your tooling immediately. Your steady rest and laser are very intriguing. Nice work.
I don't get to do nearly as much woodworking as I want, but even as primarily a knitter and household DIY person, the creative process of rescuing a didn't-turn-out piece is super valuable and relatable for me.
Just amazing. It seems the more tortured the wood you choose the better your result. In your hands anyway. Again, amazing amazing results from materiel that would have been considered garbage a few years ago. Thanks for the commentary as well. Can't wait for next week!
Okay, this is gonna be a longer comment... sorry (kinda). First, you share your "failures", and self-stated pain, anguish and disappointment. I LOVE that. You keep it real and let the rest of us beginners know that if it happens, its okay and fixable (for the most part). Next, You EXPLAIN the process and give the whys behind it all. THANK YOU. Not everything is perfect, nor should it be. The length of the videos is perfect, because it shows the whole process and that, to me, is wildly interesting. I also dig that your explain about temperatures, since I'm in Colorado, it gets cold here, as it does in Canada. Lastly, final results?? STUNNING. Stunning, stunning, stunning. Did I mention it is STUNNING?? Its gorgeous. Side note, my nickname that an old friend gave me a while back is Kintsugi, because I've been through A LOT in life and I keep fixing myself into a better person, but keeping that perfectly imperfect. So, there you go. Thanks, Jim. Take care and Much Love from Colorado Springs!
Love your format, it makes your channel what it is. One of the best turning channel on TH-cam. This piece is beautiful, the maple if stunning. Thank you for all the hard work you share with us.🌿 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
If you do another shaving piece, maybe add a center spacer block to keep some separation, especially if it will be a hollow form. This one is beautiful!
That turned out lovely! And what is great about your channel is the teachable moments. I learn so much from you Jim. Thanks for all your works of art you share with us in the TH-cam world. ❤❤❤❤
I'm not a wood turner, merely an appreciative watcher, but I really like your commentaries. If a mistake is made, it's important to know how to fix it or change it, or even turn it into something else. I enjoy seeing all the incredible objects you produce. You are very talented and very appreciated.
It's very gratifying to see you using those shavings...thank you. I appreciate your sticking with your own aesthetician rather than listen to the peanut gallery. And, yes, I did appreciate seeing how you did the "fix," and generally how you work!!
Exactly, we can fast forward if we get impatient. But I for one find you correcting “mistakes” the most entertaining bits. I love your work and following your creative journey.
The spalted maple never disappoints. Love the video, all the work, and fixing make this piece worth even more. Thanks again for your transparency, I learn so much! Love my Friday mornings with You!
I'm not a woodworking person. However, I'm a quilter and coming from a quilter perspective I like when other quilters leave in mistakes and how to fix the problems is a great learning experience. You do great work!
This is outstandingly lovely, Jim. Did you notice the tiny owl peeking out of the wood on the bottom half? That is what made it so fascinating for me, and a real selling point!
I dont do wood turning and never have, I watch your videos just for the sheer art work you produce, I love watching you create such amazing pieces which truly are works of art. Love this piece also. Hi from Australia!
I’ve said it after every video you’ve made lately but I mean it when I say that I’m continually amazed by the beautiful work that you do! I keep thinking that the next piece can’t possibly top your previous work but it just keeps getting better! I just love your work and look forward to seeing your videos each week.
Another fabulous piece. I like that you keep the mistakes in. It's interesting to see how you fix them and it shows that mistakes happen and can be fixed, and a beautiful piece can still be achieved. :)
Sorry I missed the Live show, but I really love your Super Fine Vase and how much I learned too. That's what I enjoy the most, is the teaching and how you rebound from an almost error. I'll try to set my alarm for next week. Take care and try to get some time off for you and the Mrs. Your work is always beautiful, but family first. These are the ones you have when the work is over. Bye bye.❤
We saw a lot of new steps in this one. It always amazes how much time it takes to create these masterpieces. I never tire of watching you create. Thanks Jim. 💕
A Gorgeous piece of artwork Jim! Beautiful! Keep growing Jim! We all learn from our mistakes! Thank you for sharing yours. You are a spectacular teacher! 👏👏👏
Seeing how you overcome the challenges adds another layer to the artistry of these beautiful pieces. I'm so glad I found your channel. It's become my go-to relaxing before bedtime viewing.
Jim struggling to get a casting out of the bucket used to be my favorite part of the video. Now, it's him getting covered with resin shavings. 😊 beautiful piece as always!
What a stunning piece, I love everything about it. The cloud effect of the shavings is awesome, and just the form of the vase too. Thanks again so much for sharing your work with us.
I've said it before, but I'll reiterate that I think that the hollow forms are where you seem to just let yourself have fun and get really creative. Such a beautiful piece! The color difference between the bottom and the collar wood is so dynamic and adds so much beauty and character. When you first started to rough out the shape, the flat plane right below the collar was reminiscent of a Greek amphora and I got all excited. I would love to see that shape done at some point! Frankly, I don't mind the longer videos as they let us see the full process. I like seeing the mistakes and fixes, how you go about the whole thing. But I also really appreciate seeing the creative process others go through when they make a thing. All in all, another amazing creation ❤️
Absolutely love the colour separation achieved by using the different resin shavings!!! Pencil line spalting is one of my favourite ‘effects’ that occurs in wood!
Several headaches but turned out phenomenal. It looks like wood marble. So many colors. Thank you for the great work Jim. AND please leave as much footage as possible. Your videos show the WHOLE story. Cutting out parts would interrupt the flow & disorient folks. Another beautiful piece Jim. Among the very best. 👍
This is an amazing showcase of your skills. Thank you for showing how you fix these issues it helps us see different ways than what we may think. Your videos are aiways educational and fun. Please keep them coming. 105k is just around the corner,and you deserve it.
Watching your videos on Sunday afternoon has become a bit of habit in our house. I love that you share the challenges you face as you create these stunning pieces of art. This one didn't disappoint!!! We are not woodworkers and really enjoy your talking us through your thought processes. Amazing piece!
I love the fact that you show all the various things to turning wood. It helps me personally understand what you are doing and WHY you do things the way you do. Gorgeous piece. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Jim. This is a truly stunningly beautiful piece. The spalted maple is awesome and the middle band reminds me of pictures of far away galaxies photographed by JWST. Really, really amazing. As always, have a great weekend buddy!
I appreciate how you explained the spalting. I’ve heard you say it many times but never understood what it meant. Every project is better than the last. ❤
Designer Epoxy. I for one, am glad for your “warts and all” approach. I have probably learned more from watching you solve problems than any other part of your videos. Thanks for the great content.
I love watching you talk through your decision process, and how you think your way through problems. Other people can do the "wood-lathe-presto-bowl" algorithm pleasing. Anyone whose interest is sparked by their videos will want to look deeper afterwards, and here you are 😄
Beautiful pot. You do fantastic work. I always enjoy your videos and learn something. I am not a woodturner, but many of the things you do can be applied to even the simple woodworking that I do. I appreciate your thoughts on any problems and solutions. I laughed when you said pain and suffering. I actually stop working on a project yesterday due to frustration because of a project not going how I wanted it. I was getting tired also and think we all should be careful at that point in our work. My project turned out great today, so all is well. Thanks for the fun and information. Keep them coming. This is just an awesome piece you just finished.
From my brain to yours...I was so pleased you fixed that line. If that had been my project the line difference would have driven me bat sh*t crazy! I also just adored the shape! It's something different and I loved it!! I also am glad you show your mistakes as well. You should! No none is perfect and it's important to see how different people handle different situations. Beautiful beautiful piece Jim. Something you should really be proudful of!!! Thanks for another great video. I learn so very much from you! Designer Epoxy
Designer epoxy Wanna throw my name in the hat for the giveaway. I don't do woodwork, but I've been watching your videos for a long time, I've seen many of them multiple times. I love that you talk, explain things, and aren't afraid to show the things that don't always go right. It's true that if you build it they will come. ❤ your channel and overall demeanor.
I love the inclusion of when things don't go as planned. Errors, mistakes, and accidents (or simply changing your mind!) are part of the creative process. I think they have the potential for making a video more interesting even if they make it longer.
Don’t stress too much on the analytics, TH-cam viewers are fickle. One week they’ll love something, next week hate it. 😅 I love your videos that show your process through learning new techniques, mistakes and all. I also love your voice overs. Personally, I’m not a fan of the sounds of just the turning because it’s so high pitched and sensory issues protest 😬 but, that’s just me. 🤗 I’m so excited to see your new shop I can hardly wait! ❤
Love how this turned out. I'm also glad you upgraded your toaster oven. I may or may not have respectfully raised my voice at my computer screen that you needed a bigger one.
I love watching how you bring a new life to wood most of us just can’t imagine. You are a true artist. The best moment after watching all the changes each project goes through is when you wipe it down with the denatured alcohol. Wow!
The scenes with the view of the toaster oven, with all of the knowledge you shared about stabilizing, was great, as was all the info about spalting. It’s wonderful to be able to use such beautiful pieces of wood.
I was a little worried as you turned more and more of that top piece away but the spalting still showed beautifully! Love it! I've been watching old videos from before I started originally watching and it was fun to watch your first resin bowl and see how you've changed your methods and refined the craft over time. Excellent work as always!
That spalted maple is absolutely gorgeous!!!! Love the artwork as usual!!! Thank you again for keeping the “repair” footage in the video!! Excellent job!!!
Realigning the top piece of maple was definitely a good choice. It adds just enough order to the chaos of the spalted wood and resin shaving clouds to look intentional.
Everywhere you look there was something pretty to see. Sometimes creations become something more that you could ever hope for. Here's to many, many more beautiful moments. Thanks for what you do and share. Keep well..
Designer epoxy. I think your choice of color really gave the piece an aged look that blends so well with the spalting in the maple. Good fix/redo. 👍🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Out of all seven different wood, turners that I watch videos making bowls, and this is the most beautiful bowl I ever seen thank you for the great videos. I learned a lot and hopefully one day I can start making them like that.
I love it.. ❤❤ I also love the shape of the neck compared to the normal hollow form. Keep in your problems it good to see how you solve them. For new woodturners it may help them to sort out problems they have.
The splatted maple was just amazing and it is always a learning experience watching you turn wood. I love how you keep everything in that counts as then I understand the why’s and what’s of the creation.
I got a chuckle from you not liking how it was uneven between the wood and the shavings and thought to myself OCD much?😂😂😂 but know that I love watching a master at his craft! All of your videos have shown beautiful objects! Thank you for sharing your works with us!
As a pastel and charcoal portrait artist I never, never thought resin or epoxy could make a fine art piece. Boy, did you make me change my mind. This piece is so fine! lol
Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!

Glad you like them! Thanks
I'm glad you don't pretend to never have a problem with your work. You share the problem and how you fix it. You teach as much as you create your pieces. THANK YOU .

I concur ❤
AMEN!! 😍😁👍👏
Your unhappy little accident you couldn’t live with turn out to be an ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS piece! 💕
Thank you so much!
I like it when creators show the mistakes that happen in the videos. I agree with you, Jim. You show your repairs and mistakes.
Thanks for the excellent content and your works of art!
Thanks so much!
Always show the "not what I intended" and how you deal with it. Nothing more frustrating for someone new or learning than only showing the perfect stuff. Tends to inspire the I can't attitude when everybody else seems to make it perfect every time.
Agreed, thanks!
Most people watch these videos to learn problem solving. Leave the mistakes in please. It a big help .
Done, thanks!
As a machinist who's medium is almost always metal/steel, your internal work is very impressive. Anytime while boring you lose rigidity on your tooling immediately. Your steady rest and laser are very intriguing. Nice work.
Thank you very much!

Thanks so much 😊
Such a perfect work of art Jim, you outdo yourself I'm every video! See ya next Friday!
Thank you very much!
I know I say this all the time but this looks like it could just be my new favorite. I love the flare in the neck of the vase. So classic!
Thank you so much!
I love that the soft, rotting wood becomes something this gorgeous with the cool spalting -- and that it can be saved -- and glorious!
Thanks so much!
Beautiful
Just amazing. It seems the more tortured the wood you choose the better your result. In your hands anyway. Again, amazing amazing results from materiel that would have been considered garbage a few years ago. Thanks for the commentary as well. Can't wait for next week!
Thank you very much!
I am glad you have Designer Epoxy as a sponsor. That is how I learned about them. You are a talented turner, I really like your stuff.
Thank you! Cheers!

Wow, thank you!
JIM, YOU WERE RIGHT! To cut it and ensure the band was straight!! Incredible work!! Amazing how you can *see* before it's made! *Outstanding Job!!*👍
Thanks so much!
If you do another shaving piece, maybe add a center spacer block to keep some separation, especially if it will be a hollow form. This one is beautiful!
Thank you very much!
From two pieces of bad firewood to hi art. Thank for the show
Thanks so much!
That turned out lovely! And what is great about your channel is the teachable moments. I learn so much from you Jim. Thanks for all your works of art you share with us in the TH-cam world. ❤❤❤❤
You are so welcome
You are the Wizard of Wood. You know how to turn something ugly into a woek of art.
Thank you very much!

This is outstandingly lovely, Jim. Did you notice the tiny owl peeking out of the wood on the bottom half? That is what made it so fascinating for me, and a real selling point!
No I didn’t. Thanks
I feel you’re completely right Jim, the balance is there now.. the wood is beautiful … The whole design is just gorgeous ❤❤
Thanks 👍

Love how the hollow forms, with the large curve increases the grain variety. And, the spalting is amazing.
Thank you very much!
It has been said that you learn more from your failures, than your successes. Thank so much for leaving them in.😊
You are so welcome!
Another fabulous piece. I like that you keep the mistakes in. It's interesting to see how you fix them and it shows that mistakes happen and can be fixed, and a beautiful piece can still be achieved. :)
Thank you very much!
That spalted maple is really something else! Fabulous! And keep showing us the good and the bad… in the end, it’s all good. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
I always says sharing is power. You share the good and the errors. Thank you for sharing. Your piece is also a work of art.
Thank you so much 😀
Wow Jim! I love how true you are to showing mistakes. Keep on going. 😊
Thank you! Will do!

Been a few comments about the amphora form, didn't see it at the time, but I certainly do now, lol. Thanks!
work of art
Lol, thanks

Several headaches but turned out phenomenal. It looks like wood marble. So many colors. Thank you for the great work Jim.

Another beautiful piece Jim. Among the very best.

He's so underrated imo. He should have way more subs! Right?!
Thank you very much!
That was entertaining and informative. I love that you teach. Awesome work as always.
Thank you so much!
The spalted Maple vessel is beautiful Jim. Nice work,as always.

Hi Jim. This is a truly stunningly beautiful piece. The spalted maple is awesome and the middle band reminds me of pictures of far away galaxies photographed by JWST. Really, really amazing. As always, have a great weekend buddy!
Thank you very much!
I appreciate how you explained the spalting. I’ve heard you say it many times but never understood what it meant. Every project is better than the last. ❤

Awesome hollow form! I love the way the translucent shavings reflect in the epoxy, gives it a "magical" sparkly affect.
Thank you so much!
With the spalting the color and shape, looks almost Native American. This is absolutely gorgeous. I love all parts of these videos.
Thank you so much!

Spalted Maple is one of my favorite woods that you turn. Using the resin shavings is so clever and thrifty as well. Waste not, want not!
Thanks so much!

One week they’ll love something, next week hate it. 😅 I love your videos that show your process through learning new techniques, mistakes and all. I also love your voice overs.

Me too, thanks!
Wow, the spalted maple looks amazing. Awesome hollow form
Thanks a bunch!
What a terrific vase, the commbination of that fantastic wood and resin ... it is a 10 / 10
Thank you so much!
That is absolutely beautiful. So glad you chose that design.
Thank you so much!
I think that the color definition and the detail of the wood grain is absolutely amazing. This is truly a lovely piece.
Thank you very much!
That wood is SOOO very pretty!! The resin shavings look like clouds, so pretty!! I also love the spot near the top where it turned out transparent.
Thank you so much!
I've said it time and again, and I'll say it again, absolutely beautiful I love the spalted maple and the resin is fantastic
Thank you so much!
Love how this turned out. I'm also glad you upgraded your toaster oven. I may or may not have respectfully raised my voice at my computer screen that you needed a bigger one.
Lol. Thank you very much!
I love watching how you bring a new life to wood most of us just can’t imagine. You are a true artist. The best moment after watching all the changes each project goes through is when you wipe it down with the denatured alcohol. Wow!
Thank you very much!
I took a long break from watching, but I see now why I enjoyed them so much in the first place!
Welcome back! Thanks
The scenes with the view of the toaster oven, with all of the knowledge you shared about stabilizing, was great, as was all the info about spalting. It’s wonderful to be able to use such beautiful pieces of wood.
Awesome, thank you!
With the light on inside it looks like a sunrise.
For my money its one of your best pieces to date 👍🏾
I appreciate that, thanks
I was a little worried as you turned more and more of that top piece away but the spalting still showed beautifully! Love it!
I've been watching old videos from before I started originally watching and it was fun to watch your first resin bowl and see how you've changed your methods and refined the craft over time. Excellent work as always!
Thank you! 😊
From two narly pieces of wood to a beautiful hollow form. Great job Jim!
Many thanks!
That spalted maple is absolutely gorgeous!!!! Love the artwork as usual!!! Thank you again for keeping the “repair” footage in the video!!
Excellent job!!!
Glad you like them! Thanks
Realigning the top piece of maple was definitely a good choice. It adds just enough order to the chaos of the spalted wood and resin shaving clouds to look intentional.
Agreed, thanks!

Jim I love theses videos where things don’t go as planned and how you go about correcting the problem. Beautiful results as usual.
Thank you very much!
Everywhere you look there was something pretty to see. Sometimes creations become something more that you could ever hope for. Here's to many, many more beautiful moments. Thanks for what you do and share. Keep well..
Well said! Thanks
Designer epoxy. I think your choice of color really gave the piece an aged look that blends so well with the spalting in the maple. Good fix/redo. 👍🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you very much!
I love that you share the issues and how to correct or avoid the problem! Thank you
Thanks so much!
Spalted maple is awesome! Thanks for sharing the “Oops” moments and how you deal with them. That is really helpful. Designer Epoxy
You are so welcome!
Out of all seven different wood, turners that I watch videos making bowls, and this is the most beautiful bowl I ever seen thank you for the great videos. I learned a lot and hopefully one day I can start making them like that.
Designer, Apoxsee
Wow, thank you!
I looked back on this today and decided it is one of my most favorites.
Thanks again!
I love it.. ❤❤ I also love the shape of the neck compared to the normal hollow form. Keep in your problems it good to see how you solve them. For new woodturners it may help them to sort out problems they have.
Thank you! Will do!

The spalted maple is truly beautiful as is all spalted wood.
Great job , keep up the great creations.
Thank you very much!
Working on new superlatives, this one is delightfully elegant. Love it. Best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧
Thank you so much!
Only 1 word to describe this piece...GLORIOUS!!! Its beautiful, Jim. Thanks!
Many thanks!
The splatted maple was just amazing and it is always a learning experience watching you turn wood. I love how you keep everything in that counts as then I understand the why’s and what’s of the creation.
Thank you so much!
Stunning!! I love how the shredded resin adds texture to the piece.
Glad you like it! Thanks
I enjoy the intersection of art and equipment. I also wanted to say that I appreciate the “long form” format. Beautiful piece.
Thank you so much!
Beautiful the lighted pictures at the end really showcase the piece. Wonderful as usual.
Thank you! Cheers!
I got a chuckle from you not liking how it was uneven between the wood and the shavings and thought to myself OCD much?😂😂😂 but know that I love watching a master at his craft! All of your videos have shown beautiful objects! Thank you for sharing your works with us!
I think you may be right about the OCD. Ha ha! Thanks!
