I really enjoy watching your wood turning! I'm 74 years old and I used to help my father with wood projects. My son is 53 years old and never had experience with wood projects but he seems to be a natural! Stay safe!
That is awesome! Thanks
This is one reason I am for lots of vocational schools so kids have the opportunity to learn skills like this. Beautiful work and I think you'd make a great teacher. Thanks.
So true! Thanks
Every video is a master class.
Your son did a really good job on your steady rest. Particularly good for something made at school. I’m sure you must be proud.
He’s a craftsman too, thanks!
Every video I say, "ooh, I want that one!" I could never pick just one favorite. Definitely top 3 so far.
Thanks 😊
Ok, so bare with me, my brain don't work so good at finding the words to express how I feel, especially when I love something so much, like this, so here goes...
This vase is incredible.
From the burl itself, with it's detail and splender to the choice of colour for the resin. Even the shape of this piece is perfection.
I'd have this as a family heirloom, this would be a prized possession. The kind of possession that needs a pedestal, a spinning pedestal to showcase it's beauty.
I have watched this video, in all it's 53minute splender, several times.
For me, this is your finest work, a masterpiece that I would be honoured to have in my home.
Whoever has it, I am highly jealous and a little upset that I don't have it.
I'm not even going to pretend to be able to afford to buy something like this, in fact I'd barely be able to afford one of your tiny dishes.
Whoever has this, please look after it or feel my wrath.
Bravo Jim, bravo 👏👏👏
sterling work.
I hope I got across that I have a tiny crush on this vase 😐❤😻
This was certainly one of my best pieces, thanks!
I’m so glad I finally found a wood turning channel that includes explanations! You do a good job on the commentary.
Awesome, thanks for watching!
You are so right. Wood, resin and turning not being my medium, the explaination are great
7:25 "A smart person would get a funnel by now!" You read my mind, I was thinking the same thing. 🤣🤣🤣
Lol. Thanks!
Not only are you a master craftsman your design ideas are fabulous , this is a great piece 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks 🙏
This vase is absolutely stunning! I love the gold with the blue, so it certainly was a happy accident. Amazing job, Jim! 💜
It’s funny how things like this happen for the better! Thanks
Lots of reasons to be cheerful - rescuing a scrap project and having imperfactions in the first cast has made this into the most truly beautiful vase I have ever seen turned on UA-cam. So happy that you have got the right sponsorship to make what you are doing here possible into the future. Looking forward, as always, to your next vid :)
Awesome! Thanks Rob!
I see a world, semi-globe map which I find truly striking. The blue being bodies of water, deserts, continents, beautiful. All that before applying more resin or finishing products. ❤❤❤
After applying the finish I still see a world map only very shiny, hurray!!!🎉
Thanks 😊
Accidents are opportunity to problem solve and improve our knowledge. Glad you didn't pretend to be a know it all. Looks wonderful!
Thanks 😊
I am a retired metal turner, I live in the province of Naples, I congratulate you, you are very good ..
Thanks you, I’m humbled!
The end result of this piece looks terrific. The resin looks great, but the star of the show is definitely the burl IMHO... well done🤙🏽🤙🏽 oh yeah 🤙🏽🤙🏽 for your son too.
Thanks, he’s a chip off the old broken block, lol.
The reason some people are shocked at the prices of your products is they have no real life experiences that can relate to what you’re doing. You have mastered not one but two skills and added an artistic flair most people don’t possess. I’m not saying your prices are easily affordable for most people. I, myself may never afford myself one of your creations. That will not stop me from appreciating your art. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks very much!
You can use the hollow cut pieces as lamp bases! 🤔 Tiffany lamps show off the shade, put a small 40w LED inside with a two way switch and you have a STUNNING $1,000.00 lamp! 💝 Make a black walnut cap. Thread the rod through and TADA!🥳
Yes, you certainly can! This piece sold for a lot more than that but someday I will do a lamp on the channel. Thanks 😊
Gorgeous vessel - charge a mint because of beauty as well as all the involved work. One tip - instead of marbles try sand. Foundry sand is the best. If you fear leakage, mix a small amount of oil with the sand which makes it much more possible to chip it out if epoxy infiltrates to packing.
Good idea, thanks!
just pour in sand and a cement mixture to cracks. Repaint the vessel and voila perfect in less than 2 hours.
@@alfredoolivar4592 And loose all that burl figure! I don’t thinks so!
I think that's a good idea. Maybe a spurt of non stick spray after the liner is in, before the sand?? I know there's cookingspray, but is there a similar product for woodworking, etc?? WD 40??
I got to say Jim that the different colours for that bowl were the perfect thing to do, a very nice job on that.
The contrasting colors really set it off, thanks Bill!
When you hollow out bowls or vases, keep your cutter just above center so while you are cutting if something snags the cutter will drop away just a hair and this will stop most of the chatter. You just need to find the sweet spot. Love this video too, keep turning.👍👍👍👍
Ive switched to Hunter Tools, so the methods in this video don’t apply. Thanks for watching
Absolutely stunning!
Thank you so much!
@@SpragueWoodturning You’re welcome.
Everyone else took all the words! Gorgeous, Stunning! Exquisite! Spectacular! WOW! Beautiful! Nicest piece on UA-cam!!! The burl deserves the same adjectives! Even though blue is not in my wheel house, I would buy that vase! Exquisitely done Jim! I look forward to the combo inlay/resin project. I really like these gnarly projects! They create the best end product. Exceptionally done!!!
Awesome, thanks! I would agree with you, when your working with resin the gnarlier the better!
Hashtag #gnarlier 🤣
Gorgeous piece! The wood grain is so beautiful and the resin enhanced it. I’m left handed too, there are many things that just aren’t made for us.. but, we adapt. I’m thankful that when I started school they’d finally figured out that forcing kids to be right handed was not a good idea.
They tried it with me to, something about the mark of the devil 👿, haha. Thanks
They did that with my mother too. But they didn’t with me. Y’all aren’t older than me so I’m surprised they were still trying to change left handers I have a hard time with serrated knives. Great piece by the way. LOL
Yup, they tried, I guess I’m just too stubborn, lol.
@@SpragueWoodturning anyone in australia over the age of 55 knows this all too well. I was so left handed I just couldn’t manage it other than batting right handed .
A daily caning from the teacher was all too familiar for us lefties. ( I was told by one male teacher in grade 3 that I needed the devil caned out of me)😳😬 looking back I think he enjoyed it far too much 🧐😖
I often wondered if this is why many of our generation are ambidextrous as we started out left handed.
Braedon! AMAZING job on the stay-rest!! HOLY COW!! you and all your video- I'm living for this. You really have an amazing channel!
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it!
I can already see this attractive piece on my dining table.
Thank you very much! She’s sold.
The figure of the burl is so beautiful that it would stand on it's own. The addition of the deep blue and the gold is icing on the cake. The finished bowl looks like it belongs behind glass as artwork in the lobby of an expensive office building. Congratulations and thank you very much! And kudos to your son. On another note, I suspect that the lawyers dictated the removal of any safety claims from the GF Bowl Finish containers. From what I've read in the general press, here in the States, by law any finish when cured must be non-toxic. (One source of info: "Food-Safe Finish Considerations" by Amy Costello in Fine Woodworking Magazine Jan 2019) That doesn't mean a company can't be sued anyway, the legal system being what it is. "Nuisance lawsuits". Someone commented elsewhere that maybe the formulation hasn't changed. I wouldn't be the least surprised if that were true.
It’s totally a liability thing for sure, great info, thank you so much! Another subscriber above who’s a chemist looked at the SDS sheet and said when the wood bowl finish of fully cured its food safe, thanks again, Jim.
Jim, I have been watching your channel for several months now. This is the most beautiful piece I have seen. Thanks for sharing your talent for us to enjoy!
Thanks 😊 crystal!
Gorgeous - just gorgeous. That belongs in a gallery.
Thanks for watching
That thing literally looks like an alien planet! I absolutely love it and I am definitely not a vase guy. 🤣
Totally, thanks!
You knocked the ball so far out of the park on this one, I don't think it landed yet. What a beautiful piece love the colors and the burl grain, great job!!!
Awesome thanks Greg!
I agree with Greg 1000%!!!! 😃💫👌🏻🎉💕😎
One of the most detailed videos I have seen in ages. Thank you for showing the true process with struggles and not one of these half baked videos that makes it look so easy.
When I was still a beginner and had struggles I thought I was doing something wrong since most of the videos made it look so easy and flawless. Had to learn the hard way that resin and wood combined is not always an easy job. Still worth the struggling though
You’ll see lots of mistakes on my channel, lol. Got a beautiful resin project coming up this week, thanks 🙏
I have to say.....genius way to cast and not waste epoxy.
Thanks, this is always my goal!
I love watching you work on your projects
Thanks so much!
Absolutely stunning Jim. The combination of the wonderful Cherry burr(l) and the resin is stunning. Can't wait for your next video. 👍👏
I can assure you it won’t be as nice as this, lol. Thanks.
I like your ingenuity in conserving the resin (and expense!) Beautiful
Just trying to put more cash back in my pocket, thanks.
I’m not a woodworker of your caliber. I tend to be more of the wooden toys variety. Your work and colors are breathtaking.
Thanks 😊
thats like a $1500 work of art in my eyes
Your correct, or more, lol. Thanks
You gotta love burls, such a beautiful wood! Congrats on getting a sponsor!
Burls are king! Thanks 🙏
Jim, this is a totally stunning piece, love the blue & the burl contrasts 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
It’s a beaut! Thanks.
An absolutely exquisite piece of art. You are definitely a master Craftsman. 👍🙌😎🦅
Wow, thank you!
I am amazed not only with the vase but also with your solution. You must dream about wood turning.
All the time! Thanks!
You need never apologise for long videòs. Utter magic.
That’s good because I got a couple of long ones coming up, lol.
possibly, one of the most beautiful pieces I've seen on youtube!!
Wow, thanks!
Beautiful-You also stayed with it dispite all the problems , I’m proud of you 👍..💕😁
Thanks 😊
Beautiful! I love to see the wood grains! I would love to see a redwood, red cedar, red oak, or mahogany with a black and silver epoxy. Great job! You do beautiful work.
Thanks so much 😊
A show piece for sure. Somebody will have the money and place for it.
I hope, lol. Thanks
Absolutely stunning vase the wood grain is beautiful, the resin inlay is also fantastic, a lot of hard work but worth it in the end. Natural inlays are really nice but I’m sold on the use of resins as they give a fantastic look and finish. Keep up the good work, very inspiring. ☺️
Awesome! Thanks!
Great salvage of a difficult cherry burl. The gold was a happy accident that turn out great. I hope you find a food safe coating, I am in full agreement with you. One of these projects would make a great cookie jar! P
Or a fantastic candy dish. Good luck and stay safe.
I like the way you experiment and problem solve. Extremely creative. Beautiful!
Thank you very much
Beauty. First time watching your channel and really enjoyed it. Thank you for adding NO soundtracks. New subscriber here.
Great! Welcome aboard!
Well done! That piece is a looker for sure. Looks like tons of work went into this one. Gorgeous!
It wasn’t easy, but very satisfying to do, thanks!
Lots of effort involved in this piece! I like your willingness to experiment and the unique ways you come up with to achieve your desired effects. The end result is really stunning - just a gorgeous work of art.
Thanks, it’s fun to come up with ways to save pieces and it’s also refreshing to work with the resin too!
Another great video. Nothing wrong with a long video as long as you keep explaining what you’re doing and why. Between you and Nick Zammeti your the two best videos on UA-cam
Wow Dave! That’s quite a complement! Thanks! (He’s prettier than me, lol)
Such a lovely piece!!! Looks great, Jim!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Your work is crazy beautiful! Just love watching your channel and how you take something that looks like it has no use and not very good looking and turn it into a work of art!
Thank you so much!
This urn/vase is stunningly beautiful. I love your choices of blue, pearlizing it and the added gold. The burl looks likea map and the acrylic look like lakes/rivers etc. so pretty. Just the type of piece that should be admired .
Thanks 😊
Jim, that is a fantastic vase! VERY NICE job!!!
Thanks, it’s the best thing I’ve ever made! Jim
That really came out good it's beautiful that blue and gold on something that was already broken
Thanks Mike!
Try using pieces of plastic milk jugs, using hotmelt glue, over your large voids to keep the plastic from sinking into the void. I learned this from Kim Tippin on UA-cam. She uses this method a lot and it seems to work well
I certainly will do it differently in the future. I do think it was a happy occurrence tho, thanks
Absolutely gorgeous Jim. I have never seen a cherry burl this large.
I’ve gotten them bigger than this, it’s a light weight, lol.
oh my gosh such a throw back watching this! I can see how far you've come!!
Thanks so much!
I’m in Texas !!!!! If I were closer I would make a concerted effort to come and sit in the corner and watch the master at work
Thanks so much 😊
the inside looks like a satellite map of a desert country, that is absolutely gorgeous work dude, a worthy next chapter of such a piece
It’s the nicest thing I’ve ever made! Thanks
That is a truly stunning piece. I really didn't think the resin pours would work, but congratulations. I love it. Thanks for the videos.
Thanks Brenda!
Looks like another planet with water on it
Really turned out beautiful!!!
Thanks 🙏
Just watched the pink and gold banded vase I call it the smiling vase it has A smile with A button nose 😅
Yes, it certainly does, thanks
How come all my favorite YT channels are Canadian? CA putting out some great creative content for us all
We’re just like that up here, hahah. Thanks 🙏
I truly enjoy watching you work. The process I think is the most enjoyable part. The search the experiment the success and the concern about possible failures is what makes your projects really. I have yet to hear you say anything negative. You seem to have fun and enjoy yourself throughout the entire learning process. This vase with all of its colors especially the wood and then adding the gorgeous resin colors made the project just playing "Pop"! But like I've said before, the most important part is that you have fun throughout the entire process. This project was beautiful before during and after. You create a wonderful mystery novel. You had me on my toes a couple of times... I was so worried it might break or cause you an unsolvable problem. Thank you again for allowing me alone such a wonderful Expedition and experience. The end result was amazing! Carolyn
One of the fun things about resin for me is figuring things out, what it’s capable of and the best way to creat things. Thanks 😊
Iiy6
That’s gorgeous!, Jim! Beautifully done!
Thanks James!
Exquisite Workmanship & Finish. There is no end to your level of creativity in every piece & in every step along the ventured way to ''Done!'' .
Wow, awesome comment! Thanks
@@SpragueWoodturning Well then, TYSVM for the response [your's] towards my post ... Above ALL, the past viewing as you're creating the bowl. A Masterpiece ~ from a knot of a downed tree that anyone would have just tossed into their stove. Yet, not you... For as long & as far as you're able to set it into the center of your lathe and it's spin, being true from start to finishing it days later. And then born into a fine
.
Fabulous, just stunning. Love the colors with the wood.
It’s one of my best! Thanks!
Wow I'd love to get something like this made to hold my Dad's ashes. You did an amazing job making this!
Thanks, pieces like this don’t come along very often. Jim
For the inside use a bag of rice. If things go wrong you can lathe it out
Have you seen the price of rice? Lol. That certainly is a neat idea.
@@SpragueWoodturning but it is reusable for the most part, if things go the way they are supposed to (Beans, lentils would also work) 😉
Jim! Breathtakingly beautiful!👍🏻
Thanks 🙏
Take it down to the black and keep a wavy top! Can’t wait to see it finished. Happy turning!,
Thanks for watching
I went the electronics side of "shop class" when I was young. I did, however, always have a fascination with the lathe. Wish I had followed that interest. Maybe in my next life. Beautiful piecs. Thanks for sharing.
Never to late to start! Thanks
Absolutely beautiful Jim, thanks for the General Finish info
No problem. Thanks for watching!
i can only say one thing. wow. from that almost ruined bowl to an amazing project ;-)
Thanks!
Perfect use for resin. I do not see any other way that she could have been finished without it.
It was the perfect use for it, thanks!
What a beautiful piece that is. A pure work of art.
Thanks 🙏
Your the man:>) A Beautiful person thanks for being you, All the best wishes from Canada 2021
Awesome, thanks for checking out my channel, Jim.
My suggestion would be to use a heavy-duty balloon inside to control the epoxy filling it up.
for the outside wrap it in a plaster cast material, like when you break your arm. Put a layer of shrink wrap
around the wood globe to keep it from sticking. then cut the plaster off after the poor.
That should contain the epoxy the best.
Dennis
The balloon idea has been suggested many time but we’ve come to the conclusion it won’t work do to the pressure in the pressure pot. It would take something looked 240 psi for it to work. I’m actually really happy with wrapping the piece in plastic, it worked fine and I will use it in the future, thanks for the suggestions, Jim.
It really is a beautiful vase. This is the first I’ve watched you. Totally enjoy watching Canadians. My home country. You only are evident as a Canadian in two ways - your use of US and the word ‘out’. Thanks
Lol, thanks! This vase was a challenge but worth it! I do try to limit the word eh, haha
lol My uncle is prevalent with eh. I did not hear, an eh out of your mouth once in that almost hour. But my assumption is that you are in Ontario, maybe close to the Ottawa Valley.
Yes, we live in Petawawa, I’m originally from Moncton NB tho.
Awesome Awesome work,love these videos. Such a learning experience. Thanks for your honest feedback 😊, can't wait to see the next project. Be safe
It’s easy to get results like this when you start with great products! Thanks 🙏
I’m late to the party. General Finish should send you a case! Stunning piece! Really beautiful.
Thanks Meg! I’m using up the last bit of finish from General finishes because they no longer certify the finish as food safe. It’s been rebranded as Wood Bowl Finish, Jim.
@@SpragueWoodturning seems like a huge legal issue for them. probably is "food safe" for the most part, but it limits their liability in the event someone does the things they listed. i suppose if they had a department that did ALL of those tests they could get behind their product more but you can never guess the ways in which people might mis use, abuse, mis apply their product. good luck finding another product
Jim, it's late at night. Just watched your fantastic video and excellent hollow form. Absolutely gorgeous! Then I read all 425 comments to glean info from others on finishes and techniques to conserve resin. I guess we never stop learning. I appreciate your passion.
Thanks Ray!
OH This is soooo Beautiful !! You are gifted !!
Thank you so much!
That’s the most impressive piece I’ve seen on UA-cam. Nice proportions and colors. Did you make your buffing wheel drill adapter? Looks like it does a good job.
No, you can buy them like that, thanks!
When i first started watching i wondered how you'd fill in the vase before pouring resin. I had the idea of a balloon. It would have to be heavy duty but i wonder how that would do in the pressure pot. Put a heavy duty balloon in the void and then inflate it. The heat from the resin might pop it... just brainstorming here. Lol
This has been discussed extensively in the comment and we’ve come to the conclusion that the balloon will shrink when pressurized. Then you’ve got a real mess, lol.
@@SpragueWoodturning heavy duty balloon filled with sand? Of course if it breaks then huge problem
It's easy to get lost in this one, in size and detail.
Absolutely fabulous with the flame lick grain, really accents the vertical resin and vise versa.
Awesome job Jim, thank you
This was one of my best, for sure. Thanks
This vase is evidence that you are creative and innovative! It is absolutely stunning! The blue and gold together grab my attention instantly! Awesome!
Thank you! 😊
Wow, absolutely beautiful! I love how it comes to love upon being finished
Thanks, the finish and the resin really make the piece!
Ingenious. Are you going to patent this' marbellous' method?
I love your channel because you are always pushing the envelope and your pieces are always great. I am in no way as experienced as you, but I do have some ideas, not criticisms, as I too want to improve and hope meet your standards.
Maybe a water filled bag would give a smoother surface..
I am in process to convert my laser to a camera, which will project the position of the tool onto a TV screen while it is inside the bowl.
You could could put a riser block on the laser (camera) so it rises above the steady rest.
Tripoli is good but try the white diamond afterwards. It puts a much finer glossier finish.
I've recently switched to walnut oil and/or Mahoney's oil for the inside/outside of salad bowls, and a shiny finish on the outside of some of them. Walnut oil is 100% food safe, and easily repairable by the customer. You can mix it with beeswax if you want. My customers seem to really like it. A salad bowl is after all a utility item and the oil is a great finish for all utility items, salad spoons/forks egg cups etc etc. etc.
Cool idea! You can patent the marble thing if you want, lol.
The burl is amazing and the blue resin is a great compliment.
Thanks!
My wife and I think this is off the charts awesome/beautiful - a lot of work that paid off - thank you for sharing your work.
Awesome, thanks Phil!
artist amazing perfect
Thanks 🙏
@@SpragueWoodturning (ypupjpk
😱That is soooo beautiful. How could I get/purchase a vase like that?!!♥️😃
This is truly a one of a kind piece, keep watching and someday you might see that special piece, this vase went to a Canadian Collector.
@@SpragueWoodturning I found your channel through a recommendation for this video.
Dear Jim, wow - you turned a rough looking first turning that looked like it should go on the fire into a true work of art. Beautiful result. You have set the benchmark from me and my work.
Sorry to hear about your difficulties with a long term supplier of finishes. You can’t blame them but you can blame the lawyers that spend their time making to lives of people like you and your supplier impossible but with no positive gain. I had one fellow trying to sell a knife on eBay. He couldn’t call it a knife because knives are banned products. He had to call it a plane. How stupid.
I like the comment made on the movie “The War of the Roses” by Danny Devito. “What do you call a thousand lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? A good start”. Cheers.
You are 100% correct! The legal department has a lot to do with it! Thanks 🙏
Absolutely Gorgeous!
Thanks!
Those “Turkey Basters” are actually known as pipettes, sir.
Lol, I know now. Thanks
Jim, just awesome. Really impressed how you have managed to limit the amount of resin waste. The vase looks fantastic.
Thanks Rob!
Fantastic job on the color choice for the resin contrasted with the natural color of the wood.
The inside at 35:09 looks like a satellite view of an alien world, with rivers and lakes interspersed across a dessert landscape.
Totally, I see it too, thanks 🙏
wow it look like a frankenstein bowl right after you took the marbles out and now it's gorgeous
Yes, it sure did, lol. Thanks
