    I am a retired Senior Master of Art (Teaching) in South Australia & until now I have ben a silent viewer of your really great work. This piece is a real piece of Art from a lathe, a piece that deserves to be on display as a piece of Art, not just as another woodturning bowl. Rather than just watch your great skill in woodturning, I would love to hear you as you talk your way through a project. I do love your work, I would rather you produce a 'sound' video rather than a 'silent' video. Great piece of woodturning Art & beautiful 'finish'. Cheers, Don from South Aust.

    At the beginning of this video I thought the wood was going to fly off of the lathe! I do like this masterpiece without the bark! And what a masterpiece you have created! Your talent has me on overdrive because I have not seen such gorgeous work over and over again! This is amazing work! You are blessed with a special kind of talent that is inspiring to many!! Bravo!

    The initial phases of this video had me sitting back from the screen.....I thought your lathe was going walk out the door and take a stroll by the lake! I wish I could afford to send you another invasive and beautiful species of wood...the Rainbow Eucalyptus...which is plentiful here where I live on Kauai. Beautiful craftsmanship as always....best wishes and stay healthy.

    @JohnMiller-pu2qx 4 роки тому +2

    You did a super great job David on that kiawe and I know you had fun with all that end grain!!... cuz it is so dense, but also it’s awesome in its coloration and grain structure, and takes a beautiful finish as you did with this piece. Like the shape and turned out wings. It makes it different!! Awesome job my friend!!👍👍👍👍✌️

    • @DavidAdamsen
      @DavidAdamsen  4 роки тому

      Thank you John! Yeah this one was tough and it took me a while to realize I needed to stick with a simple-ish concept rather than pimping it out with say a pedestal foot or even a lid/finial. Sometimes less is more! ✌️

I would rather listen to you and the shop sounds than listen to the music. Just a thought.

    @YellowRoseOfTexas-Dallas 3 роки тому

    Hi David, I just want to let you know that you do very good by putting the century on your dates. Most of the wood turning folks don't do that and I highly recommend it to all. I was taught that decades ago with my needlework to always put the 4 digits in the dates.
    Your work is outstanding and it will hold the test of time so properly dated pieces is appropriate.

    • @DavidAdamsen

    always in awe of not only your ability but the production value makes your channel the total package......I have a niece who wants to turn for a living and your channel is what I told her to watch for an example of not only the skill required but the social and media skills that complete the picture........now to get her to cut 000's of pepper mills so she will understand production turning
