The sign of a true craftsperson - to have a disaster but then work out a way to still end up with a truly amazing piece of work. And even better - it has more of a story to carry with it - so stunning!
@@DavidAdamsen I'm not sure you'll see this but I was wondering how you would have applied the epoxy if it didn't break? Just hollow out the centre again filled with wpoxy instead of the replacement wood?
I just stumbled on your channel for the first time. I am breathless! Even though you put "disaster' in the title, I was not prepared for the extent of devastation, But your recovery was far more astounding. The piece is breathtaking!!! AND, the camera work is phenomenal. Wow! I just subscribed after one video.
Thanks for staying with it and going back to create an awesome piece. My gracious, I cannot imagine how your heart must have sunk when the original piece fell apart. The hours and days invested are way beyond what is captured in your excellent 20-minute video. Superb job!!
Our society really needs more channels like these to be recognized. We are losing how valuable and important it is to have craftsmen and women who are proficient and passionate in their works, as seen here. Truly, a magnificent redemption to a beautiful tragedy. Be safe! Keep spinning! ;D
Less computer games, less franchised sports, less Hollywood drivel, less advertisement's ! And more Arts and Crafts Please. The Celts were famous for their artistic output. What will our generations be remembered for ?
Using the black resin with the olive wood was magical !!! It turned out so beautiful !! I only wish I could buy something as wonderful as this, but all I can do is tell you how great your creativity is!! I absolutely LOVE this, you are a true artist !!😍
I can’t even imagine how upset you must have been when that broke. Especially since you were so close to being done, but I’m so glad you came back to it. It turned out beautiful!
With that many cracks and voids, I'd be scared to death to work on something like that. Braver man than I. Glad you were able to salvage and finish it. Looks amazing, as always.
That is beyond words of how stunning this piece is. Firstly, olivewood is MY FAVOURITE wood to turn. I almost exploded when it exploded off the lathe. However, this a great example of how a turning mishap can turn into something magnificent. Thanks for sharing your journey on this olivewood piece. 😍😍😍
Absolutely Gorgeous Piece David. The original turning was just beautiful. My heart sank when it blew apart. Love the fact that you didn't give up on it. The outcome of your final turning really pops. Thank you for sharing this video.
Before the project started it’s major splitting I thought it would have made a spectacular light fixture. The light shining through the various odd cut outs would be beautiful.
Aw - such a beautiful piece. I know you’re going to save it. . . I didn’t know if I’d like this piece, so I just watched as it was sanded and polished. And I love the Grecian beauty of it. The colors and the shape are pure Athenian. 🪵🍂🌑🍄🟫
Yes, very nice work, but the most valuable part of the video, and the skill I most need to understand, is how to attach wood by running it backwards through a band saw, like you did at 0:14. 😁
Ouch! That hurt when it fell apart… A troublesome project also when the screws broke on you… yet an absolute gorgeous piece of work. Again. Yes, the piece itself is nothing short of a beauty also your way of videoing it. Many thanks for sharing!
What can I say that others haven't? When a bowl explodes like that, who would think of trying to recover? Nobody. Nobody except David Adamsen, of course. What a great recovery David. You have enhanced my respect for your skills, perseverance and sheer "bloody mindedness"! Well done mate! Well turned! Re-watched on 04/09/2022 (UK). I've fallen in love with, the execution, the skill of the turner, the brilliance of the video production and the sheer artistry of the whole experience! My go to vid on a lazy Sunday afternoon with a glass of Croft Original Sherry. Well done David! 🙂
I had to watch this video twice. I just couldn't believe how much work and patience went into this piece. This is truly one of the best artworks I have seen. Thank You so much for sharing.
VIDEO OF THE YEAR.... NOW THIS IS THE TRUE MEANING OF NOT GIVING UP, NOT TO REGRET ANYTHING, NOT TO LOSE HOPE, NOT TO HATE YOUR HOBBY WHEN YOU FAIL, THE RESULT IS PURE SUCCESS. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I was holding my breath watching you turn off the tenon. When I saw the count down come on, I gasped. I know it is isn’t how you intended to turn out, but is absolutely beautiful. You continue to amaze and inspire me. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work.
I was holding my breath the entire time you were turning the bare olive burl. The explosion was expected but still saddened me. The phoenix that arose from the pieces is spectacular!
Wow! Incredible recovery, David. I liked the bowl before it blew apart. But now, I like it even more. If it were me turning the bowl, the pieces would have ended up in file 13 or the fire wood pile. But you, took a bowl full of lemons and turned it into lemonade. You came up with a very ingenious way to save the turning. This is why I think you are becoming one of the best wood turners in TH-cam. And believe me, there are many great wood turners on TH-cam and you’re among the best.
You have great talent! Not to mention that your patience is far better than most everyone I know. You can make a beautiful masterpiece out of anything! Awesome job! I love it! Bravo!
This piece is incredible, David! It was devastating to see it break, but I think the re-turn of the bowl actually enhanced its beauty--like Japanese kinsugi! This reminds me of Bilbo's poem with a little twist: "Renewed shall be bowl that was broken". Well done--a thousand times, well done!!!
Truly remarkable work. It’s such a beautiful piece. Your vision of its destiny after the disaster is a reflection of your talent & experience. Congratulations on a piece worthy of a museum.
Stunning! That had to be a very old Olive tree. That burl was big & wildly patterned. Kudos for finding solution to burl flying apart. It looked great in the end. Patience & perseverance pays off.
Beautiful piece, David. I'm glad you weren't injured when the explosion occurred. Even though you didn't want to use resin, I think it really added to the overall beauty. Just my opinion. Take care. Bill
Good evening. Wow! I love everything about this video except the explosion. The reworked piece is very elegant. Perfect! Your mold for the pour was incredible.
Easily one of the most amazing bits of turning I've ever seen. Not just the initial turning (which was incredible!) but the rescue. Holy cow! That was brilliant! Making that form to glue the pieces to was probably quite a task in itself. Did you get a bit of deja vu hollowing it out the second time?
wasn't it though? absolutely brilliant, and once you see how he did it, you think to yourself, well of course that's how you would fix it, but I never in a million yrs would have thought of that on my own.. what a creative mind..
With such a horrifying explosion and destruction of the bowl, you are the master of recovery. Beautiful bowl and awesome video photography, you’ve turned out another masterpiece.
Outstanding save! Very glad that you were not hurt when it let go. My father made beautiful turnings as well. Some made it into museums and given as prestigious gifts to "VIP's". Beautiful work!
As soon as that timer came up on screen near the 8 minute mark... my head was in my hands! Kudos to you brother, you saved the project and it looked amazing. 👏👏👏
....Wow! Just wow! You are one highly skilled individual. The way you saved the piece after it broke.... then when finished you left no evidence it ever broke and can't tell it ever had..... WOW! Amazing work!
Incredible David. My heart sank when it came apart. I wouldn't have even got that far. LOL. I think the end result is just stunning mate. Amazing recovery. Take care David. Cheers, Huw
The resin turned out very well. Love the iridescent black voids. What I wish you would've shown, was how you so accurately made the pine form to glue all the pieces to. Such a great save. 7:42 And you were so close in being done with it.
This is a masterpiece! You made a wonderful rescue of this scattered wood! Although I would have chosen a blue colored resin the result is breath taking!
AS the saying goes: "Never let a good disastergo to waste" and you made the most out of it. Congratulations on a striking beautifully crafted master piece.
I can only agree with everyone else in thinking that the bowl is simply stunning. I also noted in the video when you were covered in resin threads. What a great look for Halloween!

Boy meets burl. Boy loses burl. Boy gets burl back again. A classic, timeless story. Well told!
Perfect!

Thought you were quitting after the piece broke love how you repaired it and continued on… you didn’t quit… fantastic piece of art
