I didn't realize that working with epoxy was as time consuming as it is. You are right. I have three times the effort in a wood and resin bowl. But, it is a piece of art and for me, turning is a hobby. That is a great looking bowl and you gave me a few good ideas.
Thank you!
Even mistakes can be beautiful serendipity. It still turned out gorgeous. Would that my mistakes would turn out that gorgeous.
Thanks 🙏
With all the cuts and then more pours, you got what looks like a layered root system or veins! It's beautiful!
Veins, totally! Thanks 😊
The bowl form is perfect for this design.
Thank you so much!
I'm catching up on old videos -- wow, this is crazy cool!
Thank you very much!
The bowl is amazing. It is good to seee that you also make "mistakes" when pouring. The colors work well together and it really like the black ring around the bowl. It brinss it all together
Thank you very much!
Wow they look amazing ,very clever technique with the spacer . i will be honest , both of them look good but the small bowl looks wicked wow . thanks for mentioning me and my channel .Cheers Ahron
I’m with you the smaller bowl has more resin in it making it flashier. Your a talented man, thanks for the inspiration and my your channel grow!! Jim.
Truly different than anything I've seen. Beautiful.
Awesome! Thanks 😊
I love the square 90 degree angle for the bowl edges. Really suits the over all funkiness of this work. Thanks
Thanks for watching
They turned out way better than my initial thoughts, way cool, you have way more patience than I do! Great job! Oh and you can keep your snow and cold weather, thanks you very much!
Awwwwe, I’m ready to share, haha. Thanks.
When you first started I thought this is not going to be good. When finished I love it. Great job.
It’s a very unique piece. Thanks
I am sure that there are people out there that will like the colors of the bowls but they are not my cup of tea. You did a lot of work and I'm sure there are people who will buy them. Not to worry tho..we all know that you can't please everyone all the time. I hope you have a wonderful Easter.. Please stay safe and keep on turning.
It’s very busy and not for all. Thanks and happy Easter to you too.
It’s beautiful, but I don’t wonder if one colour would have been better
Oh man, I feel for you. There is no worse feeling than having a part not release initially. For context, when we do tool prep in the aerospace world we have to get the part surfaces absolutely squeaky clean and then polished and then cleaned again. We don't take them to a mirror finish, but they are headed that way. All to deny the epoxy any chance of getting any kind of mechanical bond to the metal. Then the release agent (or agents) go on, usually two coats for a tool that is already coated, more like six for a new tool. I am so glad you didn't have to sacrifice the pressure pot.
Also, hot damn those things look amazing. Beautiful work as always.
I’m still a little shocked how the resin bonded to the paint so well, it was like I never sprayed the pot at all with the release agent! Thanks 🙏
@@SpragueWoodturning If I had to guess, I think that paint saved your butt. If the epoxy had gotten ahold of the steel you could have hit that thing with a train and it wouldn't have popped. Wish I had some pictures of times where release agent has either fully or partially failed during an autoclave cure, an ~1/8 inch carbon fiber laminate will take a 1/4 inch steel plate and bend it like a Pringle.
Jim! This is one of your best videos and best outcomes to date on your resin journey 💫🎉💕🎊 Dont worry about it being long, it was thoroughly entertaining! Even if you did, uhhh, 🥺 screw up with the pressure pot! Thank you for sharing that part of your journey as well 😆
I absolutely LOVE this project! I like how the resin worked with you to create that third dimensional impact by bleeding into the wood. Amazing colour combo!
It was a really cool effect and I’m not sure if I will ever do one again, one of the goals of my channel it to teach others what not to do, hahaha. Thanks K
The bowls came out really great even though you had a few problems and your color choices in my opinion is spot on, great outcome as usual sir 😀
Thank you very much!
Your puzzle bowls are BEAUTIFUL 😍 VERY UNIQUE AND UNUSUAL an I LOVE THEM 💘 ❤ 😍
Huge amount of work, thanks 🙏
Just watched this again after months. Would love to see this again, maybe even with less colors.
Without casting directly in the pressure pot 🤯🤪🤯🤪
Wow! That is really beautiful. The possibilities are endless aren't they? Keep killin' it man!
Take care & God Bless!!!
Thanks 🙏
Absolutely beautiful. I'm glad you managed to get it out of the pressure pot.
Thanks 😊
That's gorgeous!!! And thank you so much for having the courage to share your mistake. SO many people will learn from it!
If you stick around you might see me make lots, haha. Thanks.
Those bowls are exceptional. Very different to what you usually do but I think it was totally worth it. Absolutely beautiful.
Thanks Jacquie!
They turned out awesome Jim great choice of colors. I screamed no at my tablet my wife jumped and wanted to know what my problem was. LOL!!!
I’m sure you weren’t alone, lol. Thanks!
I've watched several of your videos, but this one finally made me subscribe. Amazing job! I'm willing to bet that when the blank wouldn't come out of the pot you were thinking, "I wish I hadn't oughta done that."
When all else fails, use a bigger hammer.
Welcome aboard! As a former military mechanic, those were words we lived by, get a bigger hammer!
Jim, I've been going through your back catalogue in a fairly random fashion (I must've watched 30 or so!) & I have to say this is by far my favourite!
If I ever found myself in a postion to afford to commission a bowl set from you, this is EXACTLY the style I'd go for! We would need to talk about colours though!! 😀
Thank you very much!
Love this bowl, especially how the staining makes the yellow look greenish in places and gives the whole piece an almost drawn in look. Very artistic.
Thank you very much!
I am fairly new to this channel. I can say that, so far, I have never seen you take on a more complicated project. I don’t know how you can imagine what it will look like when you are done. It was also very entertaining. Putting it out in the snow, putting it upside down on props - it was amusing what all you went through to get it loose. One of my favourite parts in your videos is watching you struggle to get it out of the mold. I also like seeing you covered in epoxy shavings. This was a huge project and I really enjoyed this video. Beautiful pieces once again. It was well worth the extra time you put into it.
😂 Thanks so much! Happy you enjoyed it!
The little bowl is too cute!
Thanks 😊
I think that it was a lot of work, time and money but worth it all. Beautiful bowls!
It’s a one of a kind, that’s for sure! Thanks.
This time you went way out of your usual way of doing bowls. I really like them. I was one that was thinking doing it in the pressure pot was so very wrong!! I'm glad it worked out and you got it out!!
Thank you very much
This "resin staining" you mention indeed makes it look even better.
Agreed, thanks!
Wow!! What salad bowls!! Strips of red and green bell pepper mixed among the lettuce would match the colors perfectly!
Hmm,,,,,I think I’ll have a rasberry balsam vinegarette dressing with this salad please.
Very innovative although I think I see more gray in the whiskers after this episode.😤🤣😂🤠
Very well done!!!
Grayer and balder, haha. Your making me hungry, lol. Thanks 🙏
This is so visually interesting, with the pattern and colors. Love it, great job. I like the slight staining fron the resin on the wood, it ties the black band together. Just spectacular 🎉
Thank you very much!
This is crazy!! looks great. I'm glad you didn't have to ruin your pressure pot
Me too! Thanks
Wow, I love this!! Yes, Yes, YES!!
Thanks 😊
You said in the beginning might be too busy for some .. well not for me! These are absolutely beautiful! Wait that word does not fit got to replace it with stunning!!! I love wood and colored resin it's the only way to go in my opinion!
Your right, it’s a work of art! Thanks 🙏
Amazing! Both bowls are beautiful. My personal favorite is the small bowl. Thanks again Jim for sharing your amazing projects.
❤🙃
Yes, I was one of those screaming not to cast in the pressure pot. Hope your pot is still usable.
I won’t do that again! Thanks
Incredible Gorgeous Beautiful
Thanks!
Thanks for.showing the pain and agony as well as the successes I watch these to see what to do as well as what not to do. You are an inspiration to all of us that love turning.
I certainly show what not to do sometimes, lol. Thanks.
Love this design...actually all Ur artworks ...am addicted to watch Ur vlogs during my free time...more power Jim....MABUHAY!!! from philippines!
Thanks for watching!
Definitely worth the time , it looks brilliant. - Michael S from Australia.
Thanks 🙏
Jim that bowl is absolutely gorgeous it may have taken a little bit longer but the end results is worth it.
Thanks Maria!
They turned out beautiful
Thanks so much!
The best experiments are a challenge and teach unexpected lessons! Funky Cool, I like it
Words to live by, thanks!
Great result after that frustrating pressure pot boondoggle... I cringed when I realized what you planned to do ... very glad you finally got the piece out of there!
Yup, that was dumb!! Thanks
Audible chuckle in the middle there! 🤣
Bless ya.
Yup, dumb move, never again, lol. Thanks
Super funky 👍🏻👍🏻 I’m glad this turned out how you wanted as it was very labour intensive 🥵
It’s a one of a kind, thanks
Nice idea, I prefer more classic styles but why not, it's nice to try new things! If you need to keep the pieces spaced evenly, maybe you should just go the extra mile to glue them on a base before pouring the epoxy. Also, glad to see your opinions on mistakes and possible routes, always entertaining AND educational. Keep growing!
Thanks, I’m always learning and yes I should of used hot glue on the one pour, Jim.
Simply amazing……stunning 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 well worth all the time and effort……👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you very much!
It's pretty in colors and wood. The bottom looks like a close up of a city map with a river and canals. I would buy it.
Thanks! This sold quite some time ago to an American collector.
Terrific video Jim, I don't normally go for resin but you did an excellent design with these bowls. Plus you something new every week. 'till next time, stay safe.
Thanks Ian!
Fantasyic bowl you made there. And lots of people learned plenty of it to, many to do and not to do.
Great work Jim.
Thank you.
Thanks 🙏
Fantastic, resin into the pot ho no not turned out ok lucky , brilliant pieces lovely colours stay safe
I guess it could of been worse, thanks.
You had me rolling on the floors, laughing like a fool when you weren’t able to get the bowl out of the pressure pot!
This turned out to be sooooo cool and I love that they are a set! The colors are fantastic together! Beautiful piece! Great job! Bravo!
Glad you enjoyed it! Lol
That's so cool, I would definitely put that on my table, I love it
Thank you so much!
This is so cool, watching the unfolding!!!
Thanks 😊
OMG. Bowls are beautiful. Good job.
Thanks 🙏
I love this look! I'm not personally a fan of this specific colour combo, but I would love to see this technique used with your Peacock colours!
It would be great fun to see you exploring this technique in different ways should you wish to in the future. I think it would be interesting to see how more "precise" geometric cuts mapped out with a compass or something would look compared to the more relaxed freehand lines, though I don't know if that would look too rigid with this style. Maybe a piece of wood with a really defined knot or 2 to base the cuts around would be a fun project to experiment with!
As always, stunning work 💜
I will give it some thought. Thanks
Glad you did not have to destroy the pot to get the blank out. When you poured directly into the pot, I knew you would take a lot of effort to get it back out. But you managed to get it out without destroying either the blank or the pot. That extra resin soaked into the open pores that walnut has. Maybe maple would be a better choice next time (harder, denser). Definitely entertaining to watch you create the two bowls.
Thanks Valerie, yup, I won’t do that again!
Phew! That was worth all the work!
Yes, thanks 😊
Absolutely bloody beautiful.
Thanks Sue!
You made it to look like your jacket. Y'all match.
Guilty, lol. Thanks
Looks great.... a lot of work! But, wow definitely worth the time!
Thanks Michele!
Love the little one.
It sure is colorful, thanks
Very different. I know a lot of comments about people liking it but I’m not a fan of the modern look, but that’s just me. I think the red was too wide and red is my favorite. I can’t believe you poured the resin in the pot LOL. You are one of my favorite turners. Stay safe and keep warm. God bless 👍
I love the colors, as you say personal taste, but I think if this was done again with earth tone type colors you would end up with something that looked like a rock with loads of intrusions pushed through through it, which would be a touch more subdued and also beautiful. And the resin pushing into the wood would look fantastic with those colors as well.
I agree Alex, if I were to do it again I would take out the black and put a more flashy colors to make it really pop, thanks!
I get it Janice, I knew it was t going to be for everybody, lol. I can’t believe I did it either, hahah. Thanks
WOW!!! Those bowls are stunning! REALLY cool and love the gloss finish on them. They're both works of art!
Thanks Carole!
Love the colours great choice Jim❤
Thank you! Cheers!
Absolute awesomeness in a bowl - wow ❤💚💛🧡 this one 😍
Thanks again!
This actually turned out a LOT better than I thought it would. I'd love to own one.
Wasn’t sure it would survive when I was hammering on the pressure pot but it survived, lol. Thanks 🙏
It looks amazing Jim. Remember a lesson is nought unless dearly bought.
Thanks 😊
I’m impressed again. 👍
Thanks 🙏
I love your gymnastics 😂 Fantastic job.
Thanks 😊
Turned out great looking
Thanks!
FAb piece man she came out real beautiful looking man ! love watching the art form cool
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks
Jim, I just happened across your channel and have to say I am impressed with the way you share the good and the bad. Very informative. I have not cast anything yet; just got my first pot is I kinda cringed when you poured directly in the pot. The two bowls look great. I also really appreciate the links you have provided to the various products you are using, very helpful. A fellow Ottawa Valley inhabitant.
Great! Welcome aboard! Yes, it was the dumbest thing I’ve done in Woodturning! Thanks
They're absolutely amazing! Gorgeous and the colors just pop. It looks like a multiple lightning strikes have hit the wood and the newest is that gorgeous red. Just a beautiful 2 piece set.
I’m glad I went with the red last, it’s my favorite in this piece! Thanks.
Love the bowls! The colors are amazing!
Very vivid, thanks!
Incredible. Love it! Great work as always!
Thanks Darryn!
Really really love this, although it did seem painful at times, beautiful, another soul pleaser❤
Thanks so much!
1. I like your rock. 2. The pain! Oh the pain of casting in the pot. 😆 🤣 😂 it was horrible I felt that. And then...wallah! You persevere and again, make magic happen.
#2 stupid! 🤦🏻🤦🏻 won’t do that again, lol. Thanks!
Fantastic work. Love the colors grate craftsman ship
Thank you very much
In terms of time and resin these bowls are priceless, but worth it. They are the best ever. Absolutely beautiful. So unusual. I follow Aaron Aficanmeat. He is wonderful too. Thanks for the videos Jim. I have learned so much from you. I love your work.
Thanks Brenda, it was a ton of work but worth the effort! Jim
Beautiful bowl. You did great justice to the idea. Love Aaron's work too. I've been watching him.for awhile and it never gets dull.
He’s a great resin artist! Thanks
Looks amazing. Thanks Jim.
Thanks for watching!
Wow Jim for a person like me that has no idea about wood turning that certainly is different, i have never ever seen anything like that before and im really glad you gave it a go you did a super job.
Thanks 🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing what not to do. I know I really appreciate that. Keep up the great work.
My pleasure! It was a dumb move, lol.
@@SpragueWoodturning but something we all thought about doing 😎
Wow that was some work. Nice pieces!
Besides the pressure pot, it was fun, lol.
Even though the resin and the turning grimlins were after you on this bowl you did a great job I really like how you cut it and put the resin in it keep on turning great pieces. James
Thank you very much!
@@SpragueWoodturning you're very welcome
FANTASTIC, WOW, this is very unique and quite a ton of work. It looks so smooth as if the finish was epoxy and not WFSBF. One of the cooler pieces I’ve seen. The yellow really glows. The red portion looks like an aneurism, not that that’s bad, it gives it character. Love it.
It certainly is a one of a kind! Thanks
Love it. I saw Arrons one too. As you said I’m putting it straight in the pressure pot I, like many, yelled at you not to do it but....😳
Yup, it was a dumb move, lol. Thanks
Fantastic sci-fi look. Mould release is used on moulds with relief angles that are not any deeper than they have to be. I have never tried this, but it seems like a good way to keep things from floating in the pressure pot is to put a piece of plywood wrapped in cellophane tape with a piece of 2by4 attached which has been cut to length such that when the pressure pot lid is screwed down only a minimal clearance is left between the 2by4 and the inside of the lid. The 2by4 could be made in two pieces that allow length adjustment.
I’ve heard of this method, thanks for the info. Jim.
Agree Jim, very cool!
Thanks 🙏🏻
love, love, love it.
Thanks 😊
This is so freaking awesome
Thank you very much!
Love watching all you make
Thank you very much!
Jim that bowl is fantastic! I’m sorry it was a pain in the butt to create but oh my gosh it’s blowing me away! Thanks for all of your efforts to get this out to us. I love ♥️ it! Keep up your great work!
Thanks Theresa! It was a ton of work!
39:53 it is by far one of the nicest bowls i have seen you make
Thank you very much!
AH!!! THESE ARE FIRE!! gorgeous!!
Thanks so much!
That's simply awesome 👍
Thanks 👍
Very unique and beautiful
Thanks Mike!
I can't believe how well these turned out! I love the different colors. But when you said you were going to pour straight into the pressure pot, I wished I could tell you NOOO. 😲 A hard lesson but at least you saved the project. Amazing job, Jim. And as for the snow? You can keep it. Ours finally just melted here in Spokane, Washington. 💜
But I have lots to share, haha. Thanks Tracey
