British Columbia has been on my bucket list and this video confirmed that it is a place I must see. Keep up the great work you do!
Thank you so much for leaving such a nice comment! I appreciate it and I know Jackie will appreciate it too
Great documentary. It’s really nice to see a profile of a Canadian maker (and western Canadian is even better 😉). Great work capturing the gorgeous natural setting around Blue River too! 👏👏
Woohoo! Thanks so much for watching 🇨🇦
Good one Justin. Thanks for introducing me to Jackie’s work. I appreciate the connection of nature and storytelling and I love the idea of finding the beauty in overcoming challenges.
I appreciate you, Dave! This is a very nice compliment to receive
so zen
Every episode just gets better and better. I love the drone shots. You really showed some great talent mixing in her thoughts with the b-roll. Loved it!
Thanks so much for the comment/compliment and the continued support 🤘🏻
I love these videos so much!
I appreciate it!
Beautifully edited, Justin. Jackie's work is absolutely incredible.
What an amazing artist. TWO amazing artists. This video is so well done and completely drew me in. Justin your videos just get my heart every time and this one is the best yet. Jackie I WILL own something of yours one day..such gorgeous work! ❤
Thank you so much, Donna! These are some wonderful compliments to receive and I’m very happy that you’ve enjoyed it
Jackie is amazing! Beautiful work, Justin!
Wow, brilliant video great and inspiring video about an inspirational that Jackie is. And such a stunning location to work in.
Also liked the CMM product placement, are those rust coloured sweatshirts going to get another run?
Loved this one!
u da best
Nice video. Perhaps the best aspect of it os that I dpn't see a wide assortment of Easy Wood turning tools. Thankfully, I started turning before they came along. To me, every one of them are glorified scrapers. The old expression "when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail" holds true in turning. I am not totally against tools that make thinbgs a litt;e easier for youi, butit is far better to learn how to use a gauge versus a spindle gouge, versus a bowl gauge versus a scraper versus a negative rake scraper makes you a craftsperson and artist as opposed to a technician. Love your design sense.
11:37 - love the evolution. was always wondering how you did that stuff! epic jackie!
The perfect life style for a wood turner. Being close to nature and using wood from nature to make beautiful things. That is true happiness.
I just found these videos. Good stuff.
If you see Jackie again please suggest that she start to wear a face shield!
what a lovely little feature! 3:22 already loving the vibe soo much!
She is absolutely wonderful
14:00 - ride the bevel! saweeeet! i suck at turning bowls and this helps! ayee
14:49 - we gotta call about all these call me mabie threads. they are fiiiiiire!
Awesome when people have a passion and able to make it a living! Keep making Jackie...
