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.
Thanks so much! Good to hear this!
I concur ❤
AMEN!! 😍😁👍👏
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.
Glad you like them! Thanks
Your unhappy little accident you couldn’t live with turn out to be an ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS piece! 💕
Thank you so 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 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!
Such a perfect work of art Jim, you outdo yourself I'm every video! See ya next Friday!
Thank you very much!
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.🌿
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Wow, thank you!
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
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!
Thank you too!
With you 💯
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.
Wow, thank you!
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!
Lol, thank you very 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
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!
Thank you very much!
From two pieces of bad firewood to hi art. Thank for the show
Thanks so much!
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.
👍
Many thanks!
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.
Thanks so much 😊
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!
You are the Wizard of Wood. You know how to turn something ugly into a woek of art.
Thank you very much!
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! 😊
New t-shirt design coming in an alternative future from Sprague Woodturning: "My therapist said I have adhesion issues since resin came into my life." Thank you, Jim, for taking us through the entire process in creating this beautiful hollow form. It made me appreciate the end product even more!
Ha ha! Thanks so 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!
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. 💕
It certainly does, thanks!
I agree with leaving in the mess ups and repairs / fixes. Gives variety as well, plus learning opportunities 🙌
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!
I feel you’re completely right Jim, the balance is there now.. the wood is beautiful … The whole design is just gorgeous ❤❤
Thanks 👍
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.
Thanks so much!
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.
Awesome, thank you!
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!
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!
Wow! Thank you very much!
work of art
Lol, thanks
Designer Epoxy
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!
Jim that piece is amazing ,I can’t believe the shavings you used turns out the way it did ,awesome piece of work
Thank you very much!
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.
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!
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
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 😄
Thank you very much!
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!
Thank you very much!
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! 👏👏👏
Thanks so much
Absolutely AWESOME I love the shape of this piece so nice to see. The Spalting is really wonderful. Jim I am so happy that you liked this piece and I do hope you will continue to use the resin shavings. Thanks for another great video. Please keep safe and well.😘😘💖💖
I'm glad you like it, thanks
Designer Epoxy.
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!
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.
You are so welcome! Thanks
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 ❤️
I agree, Jim’s hollow forms are absolutely stunning! All of his work is fantastic but his hollow forms are exceptional.
Been a few comments about the amphora form, didn't see it at the time, but I certainly do now, lol. Thanks!
I love the fixing things because it shows us that you are able to be ok with stuff. You are calm.
Thank you very much!
All the adversities is part of the adventure ;) I like seeing all the parts that don't go as planned . Makes the final product even more impressive :) Love the line pattern in the neck. All the colours ended up perfect together
Thank you so much!
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.
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!
Oh man Jim’s toaster oven has all the toys 😂
Ya just never know when you’ll need a rotisserie in the shop, lol. Thanks
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.
Thank you very much!
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 😀
The spalted Maple vessel is beautiful Jim. Nice work,as always.
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
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!
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!
This is officially my favorite piece of yours! It's absolutely beautiful! Everything about it is exceptional. Great work, Jim!
Thank you very much!
Mistakes can happen to everyone-not everyone can turn them into art. You always turn them into something beautiful. Thanks for that.
Thank you so much!
I love hearing the process, all the commentary, etc, and I'm not a wood turner at all.
This piece is stunning - I love it! Love all you do but Designer Epoxy takes it up a notch!
Thank you very much!
I appreciate you showing how you fix mistakes. This is a great way for all of us to learn new things. Great work on this beautiful hollow form.
Glad it was helpful!
The shavings looked like Easter lol. I enjoyed seeing the mistakes, it shows how you fix problems and that you are still learning. It came out fantastic
Thank you! Cheers!
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!
Wow Wow!!
Excellent work. You sir have taught me I’m not the only one who makes mistakes and can’t go to bed knowing that it there and not fix it.
Cheers from
California.
Thank you very much!
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'm so glad you like my videos! 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!
This one turned out to be a lot of work but turned out to be a fantastic bowl! Love the shape of this bowl and the spalting is beautiful! I appreciate seeing the speed bumps, as they come up, and what you do to resolve them. Agreed, helps everyone to learn. Thanks for sharing those with us.
Thank you very much!
Only 1 word to describe this piece...GLORIOUS!!! Its beautiful, Jim. Thanks!
Many thanks!
I took a long break from watching, but I see now why I enjoyed them so much in the first place!
Welcome back! Thanks
That adjustment was certainly worth the effort. I’m glad you followed your instincts. This is another beautiful piece!
Thank you very much!
We step-children need love too, lol. Glad you found a lovely use for the casting leftovers.
Yes! Thank you!
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!
Another beautiful piece. I love that you took the time for explanations as to why you cut the piece in half. Turned out great!
Thank you very much!
Just checked in from Edmonton. What have I missed. Oh man that first sip of coffee 😊
Thanks for watching!
Your channel has become my therapy
Great to hear, thanks!
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
Designer epoxy.
The spalted maple is truly beautiful as is all spalted wood.
Great job , keep up the great creations.
Thank you very much!
I'm glad you straightened it out! It's so beautiful! The wood grain is the best! I like the fact that you work thru the pieces showing the good & bad... then finding a fix! Inevitably, it's a masterpiece in the end. Thank you for making the videos you do. I like the learning process it gives us all! I love it! ❤
Thank you so much!
The amount of steps you’ve taken to get this piece perfect is on another level of craftsmanship! Stunning work!
Thank you very much!
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!
Gorgeous piece again! The wood is the star of the show in this one, but I like the cloudy effect of the tightly packed resin shavings too. Also, I really like the shape of this one!
Thank you very much!
Good morning to all. Tea and muffin at the ready.
Same! Coffee and a bagel here! ❤
Thank you very much!
I love going back and looking at these older videos and looking at these beautiful works of art all over again. Never ceases to amaze me. I love being reminded of how beautiful they are.
Wow, thank you!
Beautiful hollowform! Thank you for showing all of the ways that you adapt and overcome. Watching from your experience has helped me so much as I begin to turn. I always look forward to each video you put out.
Wow! So nice to hear my videos help 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!
Leaving the "mistakes" in is educational and also a life lesson of sorts. Things will not always go as planned. You can give up and throw everything away, or you can look at alternate possibilities and see what happens.
Thank you very much!
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.
Awesome! Thank you!
I love your videos!! I was every second of them. Mistakes happen all the time and seeing them being made and fixed is utterly amazing. You do such a wonderful job on all that you do!
Glad you like them! Thanks very much!
Another favorite! I look forward to each video. Don't cut out the problems you encounter, it makes it even more interesting.
Thank you very much!
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!
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!
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
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!
From two narly pieces of wood to a beautiful hollow form. Great job Jim!
Many thanks!
You are a teacher doing teaching. We are learners doing learning. And you are learning by teaching. Just the simple fact that you teach how... no, why... to reason before crashing and trashing a challenging issue, with self-patience and a true desire to find a solution is inspiring.
Wow! Thank you very much!
Just discovered your channel today. Popping colors and Designer Epoxy. Who could ask for a more beautiful piece?!?
Thank you so much! Welcome!
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!
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
Thanks so much! I really appreciate it!
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!
Awesome hollow form! I love the way the translucent shavings reflect in the epoxy, gives it a "magical" sparkly affect.
Thank you so much!
Hey Jim love the piece as always! I couldn't agree more with leaving in 'errors' in your videos. It's always great to see how to rectify and learn from them. I love the longer videos also!! Thank you for all your hard work and explanations!
Glad you like them! Thanks
Love the classic shape. The resin shavings are a very interesting focal point. The star for me is the spalting. That is just spectacular. The warmth and depth of this piece will make it a great focal point in any home. Definitely one of your finer works.👍
Thank you very much!
Mighty nice! A beautiful shape and I love the resin stripe. Leaving in all the problems and the solutions makes your videos very educational. I’ve never turned anything and I never will but I just love watching your artistic endeavors.
Awesome, thank you!
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!
