I saw the thumbnail and assumed the dragon would be attached to the base, like an optical illusion. And then, as you worked, I thought "Wouldn't it be neat if it was a tensegrity dragon?" And lo and behold!!
I don't have insomnia, but I do have a disorder where I wake up every 90 minutes, and it's awful. I can't imagine dealing with actual insomnia! I'm glad to see another video; watching one of your wolf head necklace videos is what got me addicted to the woodcraft side of UA-cam and I missed your brand of humor. I hope you continue to feel better!
Your content is so relaxing and fun to watch, it doesn't bother me what your release schedule is. So long as you are doing it for you and we are along for the ride, happy to wait for the next video :)
Miss you and your creation so much, since I start wood carving thanks to your video. I hope you'll feel better as soon as possible, insomnia is just a bad bitch sometimes.
I missed your art and skills on you tube, insomnia is bad thing and I believe you get better and better! ALL BEST TO YOU JONAS , I follow you on insta😉
I love your channel and am very happy to see a video in my feed please keep them coming you are very talented and I hope you get some relief from therapy.
So excited to see a new video - I don't care how often or how regularly, I just enjoy your content whenever it appears, so please don't stop... but also don't make it un-fun by forcing yourself to do it when you aren't feeling it!
Hermozo trabajo, yo también tallaba como pasatiempo pero me daba pena separarme de mis trabajos. Hace tanto tiempo que ya creo haberme olvidado de tallar pero tus trabajos me lo recordaron. Saludos de Cusco Perú 🇵🇪.
Finally! 🤩 A new video of you! I'm so happy you start new projects, I'm looking forward your next video/creations, I love you work, you are so talented. Your floating dragon is stunning, what a smart design! No wonder it took you time. I hope your sleep will improve, take care.
That’s sick! We don’t see you for two years and then you come back with this amazing piece haha. I hope your insomnia gets better, I’ll continue to stick around even if you don’t upload for another 2 years. Hope you get it all sorted and stay well. 👍
What a cool concept to make a tensegrity dragon. A tensegrity table, though cool, always feels a bit gimmicky as it's a pretty bad table due to it's wobblyness, but for art pieces like this, it's a perfect fit. I personally liked the chains better. It seems like a captured dragon that's trying to break free and barely held down by the chains and your eyes only really notice the chains and not the fishing line carrying the weight because your mind assumes that since those chains are so visible, that must be what's holding it up but it obviously can't, making you wonder what's going on. Though the illusion itself kinda works better with just the fishing lines, you can still notice them fairly easily and you "figure out" it's a trick and that there must be more that's holding the dragon upright. I don't know if that makes sense to other people, but my gut reaction to the chained up version is more wonderment. Plus it's just a cool idea to have a chained up dragon, that you kinda control but it's so powerful that it still fights back and makes you uneasy to stay very close. Versus "just" a flying dragon.
Yay!!! You've returned! So happy to see you and your creations again :) This is a fantastic piece! O.O I love the birch wood carvings. That added detail really made the dragon appear to be flying among the clouds. By the way, it was super convenient that a box of 100% anatomically correct moose antlers happened to be growing out back in your garden after the heavy rain ;) Lol! Whether this is the only video for a while or you are able to come back regularly, I am just happy to see that you're well and still being creative. Thank you for the video!
I have insomnia too so I knoq it can be very challenging! I really hope your new routine works well for you. I think you are a very brilliant man with so many talents and a wonderful imagination. It brings me great joy to see all if your finished projects. Make sure you call around to find our what other professional sculptors are getting for the amount if hours they put into a piece you want to be competitive and it may give you a chance to talk with like minded artist like yourself❤ 🙏
Well… it’s February 2023 and your creations are fabulous. I envy your access to birch wood stock and birch Burl. I’ve used exotics for several creations inspired by you. PADAUK, Patagonian Rose wood, Canary wood, and African Mahogany… I hope you are able overcome your insomnia and continue sharing your beautiful art. Best!
Jonas, I've missed your content! In case it is helpful, I suffered from chronic insomnia for decades. I finally figured out that my trigger was gluten. Yours might be that or some other food... or something else. But an elimination diet is how I discovered my issue. Good Luck!!!
Hey, well i have suspected a lot of different stuff over the years and i have tried to eliminate different food types. Im currently on a keto diet just because it makes me feel less stressed and it reduces my hunger a lot. I do believe my anxiety comes from Chronic stress over many years and poor management of my energy levels compared to what i actually did during a day. Thanks for the luck! ill take all of it. Best wishes back to you!
So happy to see a new work from you Jonas, you're one of the best out there! I'll gladly wait between uploads if it means you're taking care of yourself, stay well, work your magic!
Haha, your hands crack me up. They look like mine. Covered in cuts. Cute little sculpt. I’m surprised you we win CA glue due to the shearing effect. I would have used dowels and wood glue at least.
Glad to see you back once again, your creativity is always a pleasure to watch! I do like the fishing line better as well. And good for you for not letting your health issues to limit you and your creativity. I know what it's like to struggle against Health obstacles. That which doesn't kill us only makes us stronger!
Welcome back ... so glad to hear your doing better, got worried after a while, but happy to see you have been able to find some help ... can't wait to see that Eagle video next! 🤘👍🦅
Relieved to see you are feeling a bit better and having a chance to be creative. I have missed seeing your work, and hope your insomnia continues to improve. 💓
Wonderful to see you're uploading again, and being able to be creative. Very cool dragon! I know how chronic health issues can affect the ability to create. I struggle to manage my autoimmune disease also. Good days, bad days, worse days, better days ... and a little progress along the way ;) ... All the best with managing your condition, Jonas!
Very, very, very cool!! We're glad to have you back in any way, shape, or form you're able to share. I hope things continue to improve with your insomnia!
I struggle with insomnia as well. I've tried many, many things, but to no avail. I found one thing that helps better than pills, teas and exercise. I pray the Catholic Rosary. God gives you a calm and you fall asleep. I hope you try it. I know from experience that it works. God Bless 😊
I find great meaning in Nature and i see it as something larger than me. I guess it can be similar to a religious belief in my opinion. Thank you for your kindness. May we both find relief!
Amazing video, it was really fun to watch! I really understand about the sleep deprivation. I have 4 different types of sleep disorders and used to stay up 3 days in a row every week, thankfully mine was resolved by medicine and retraining my brain. Hang in there!!! You can do it!
I am very ahppy to hear about your improvement! Sleep deprivation is a hard thing to go through with. I am getting better slowly but steadily and now my days are filled with much more meaning than when i uploaded this video! May you have a good summer!
And when the world needed him the most, he came back :D
Woaaah that turned out amazing 😍 Glad to see you uploading! Take care!! Can't imagine how much chronic insomnia must suck..
Thank you so much! 😊 Yep it can be rough. Its great to be back!
U'r computer of dragon, nice too
Nice to see an upload Jonas, ive missed your work. Hope you get your insomnia sorted, not nice being awake knowing you should be asleep..
Thanks bro! Yes it is good that i am finally making some progress.
I saw the thumbnail and assumed the dragon would be attached to the base, like an optical illusion. And then, as you worked, I thought "Wouldn't it be neat if it was a tensegrity dragon?" And lo and behold!!
That was so tricky !...yes better with the nylon thread/line...
Very funny digging up the miniature moose antlers..😄...
Welcome back..be well..🙏...🌿🌿🌿
*attackhug* I agree with you, the lines looked way better. No dragon should be in chains!
I don't have insomnia, but I do have a disorder where I wake up every 90 minutes, and it's awful. I can't imagine dealing with actual insomnia! I'm glad to see another video; watching one of your wolf head necklace videos is what got me addicted to the woodcraft side of UA-cam and I missed your brand of humor. I hope you continue to feel better!
Sir, you are tremendously talented in wood carving. This piece of a dragon is so beautifully and excellently well made. Thanks
Your content is so relaxing and fun to watch, it doesn't bother me what your release schedule is.
So long as you are doing it for you and we are along for the ride, happy to wait for the next video :)
Outstanding work. For your insomnia, you could try a mug of chamomile tea before going to sleep. It's supposed to help.
Wow, good to see you here again. Fantastic job as you had us used to. I love dragons, very good genius!😜🤜💰🤛....👈do you remember??🤣🤣🤣
Thank you bro! Oh yes i remember. A glorious victory!
Miss you and your creation so much, since I start wood carving thanks to your video. I hope you'll feel better as soon as possible, insomnia is just a bad bitch sometimes.
You've been missed. You and your woodcrafting. Welcome back 🙂👍

Thank you so much Iona! Yes theres a lot of suffering out there unfortunately. I am an optimist about the future tho. All the best back to you.
Awesome sculpture!
I think the chains looked better. It was like the dragon have gotten captured and still tried to fly away.
Hmm ye i do agree for the purpose that you mentioned, Darn it, now i got to go put them on again...
I have to agree. I prefer the chains. Regardless it is a masterpiece.
@@shedmanx3640 I agree 100%.
