Thanks for showing the steps before the wood ended up on your lathe. I really enjoyed it
Thank you very much!
Same here.
56:18 Sounds like the tree frogs that like my pool in winter and hatch and scream all spring to fall. For a minute there, I thought they were in my front yard this time because that is exactly what they sound like 🤣🤣😂😂😊
It’s definitely a tree frog, lol. Thanks
I totally agree with you that most people don't realize how much processing from a to z goes into a piece. Glad you made this episode. Working outside is good for you it will keep you agile. And yes, those black flies are awful at this time of year. I'm excited to see what kind of project will come out of these pieces. Designerepoxy Keep on turning.
The mosquitoes are really bad too, thanks!
Thank you for showing the "unseen" behind the scenes that a lot of people don't understand
Thank you very much!
Your videos are always so educational. I am not a wood turner. But, having seen so many of your other videos, it is really fascinating to see how you look at the logs to see what you might be able to get out of them. You're a natural teacher!!
Thank you very much!
Thanks for doing this video. Now my wife understands why I'm so tired after a day in the shop. Designer Epoxy.
Lol, thanks!
It's always so cool to see how you set up and saw each cut. It does help to see and appreciate just how much work it is to produce your products.
Thank you very much!
Jim, thanks for the reminder of how much "down-n-dirty" work there is behind your gorgeous masterpieces. We do tend to forget that that part doesn't just "happen". It's not all fun and glamorous, is it? 😉 It makes me appreciate what you do all the more! After all, that behind-the-scenes work takes talent, too!
Thanks so much! Much appreciated!
As a newer (3 years) wood turner, I always love when you do these rough out videos. Thanks can't wait to see these blanks get turned into master pieces. Designer Epoxy
Thank you very much!
"Is this 300 bucks?" "You're right it's 300 bucks!" I love it!! And it's so true. I've been a graphic designer for 30 years and I know very well how folks can't understand why things cost what they do. It reminds me of the story of the man who painted roosters. He's commissioned for a rooster portrait and produces a beautiful one in just a few minutes. When he presents the bill for the painting, the client balks saying it only took you a few minutes to paint. He takes the client into his studio where the walls are covered with hundreds of portraits of roosters. "I was able to give you an excellent rooster painting only after doing all of these." Your video was the most enjoyable and educational hour I spent this week!! Thanks, Jim!!
Time and experience need to count for something, lol. Thanks for watching!
I'm not a woodturner myself but I find the entire process fascinating and really appreciate the opportunity to see what goes into making your projects. Thank you so much.
Thanks for watching
It's really worth a try. Can genuinly advice to search for a woodturner in your region and take a beginner lesson. Don't worry too much about having two left hands or anything like that, crafts like these are more about having some patience and developing insight than about being handy.
In case you're worried about the dangers, then that's actually a good thing too, better be safe than sorry, so being aware that a lathe could be dangerous is a good thing. Always respect your tools. :)
Designer Epoxy. Good timing for this video. I am planning on starting the huge pile of logs I recovered after the tornado last May. I built a bowl blank shed to house all the blanks. Now all I have to do is remember where each piece came from. I promised the land owners a bowl for each of them as a memorial to the tree. Thanks again.
I write the date on the blank and if it’s in the special category I will write that on the bowl too. Thanks for watching
I love how you take us behind the scenes to glimpse how you prep and decide what to keep and their possibilities. Thank you for an enjoyable and informative video.
Thanks for watching
When I was younger I loved the harvesting and processing the wood. But now I'm 72 years old I still love it, but unable to do it anymore. But I still go out with my sons when it is time. What I really like now is that since starting to use resin I'm not wasting wood and can use more of it. Love your channel. Designer Epoxy
Thank you very much!
I learned a lot today. I've processed a few logs in the past but I see why they didn't turn out the way I wanted them to. Thank you for this. I'll be sure to watch next week too.
Great! Thanks!
Great lesson in preparation for bowl blanks & why you cut the logs a certain way
Thank you very much!
You and your sons are incredibly clever! 🎉 This is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen, because it’s so useful and handmade!! Thanks for making this video. 🌟🙌
Thank you very much!
Good to see "Behind the Scenes with Jim Show". Your homemade setup gave me ideas for some of my scrap metal.
DESIGNER EPOXY
Great! Thanks for watching
Great video! Very educational and interesting 😃 I look forward to seeing what you make out of the blanks. Especially the gnarlier pieces
Me too, lol. Thanks!
I think more people should see this process to really appreciate the final piece. Great video!
Agreed! Thank you very much!
You cut some beautiful pieces can't wait to see them finished I love watching you work it very soothing and calming.
Thank you very much!
Jim, I'm not even a tenth of the turner you are, but man do I love cutting into neat pieces of wood, too! Thanks for this informative and interesting video!
Designer Epoxy
It’s the best! Thanks
Love your saw set-up! Every cutting board is exactly the same thickness. I can hardly wait to see the finished product 😊. Epecially the ones cut on a greater bias 😮. Love your channel Jim 😊.
Thank you very much!
Hi Jim, congratulations on reaching 100k subscribers, you thoroughly deserve each and every one of us. This weeks hollow form is absolutely exceptional and I really don't know how you manage to one up yourself week after week, but I'm so very happy that you do! Onwards and upwards to 200k subs and I will definitely be along for the journey. Have a great weekend Sir. 😊
Thanks, I really appreciate it!
The bird wanted his 15 minutes of fame 😂
It got it, lol. Thanks
I thought it was a tree frog. Lol
I thought it was a tree frog as well.
I wait for Fridays and your videos. Thank you for not needing to show super close up shots of bugs. I really appreciate it. 😁
Lol, thanks for watching
With work responsibilities, it took 4 days to watch this video. Thanks for sharing your thought processes in cutting down your blanks. Very much appreciated Jim.
Designer epoxy
Thank you very much!
The closeup with the bugs was awesome lol.
Walnut wreckers, lol. Thanks
That pile of wood is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get 😄. Your approach to your cuts is extremely helpful for me with my pile of wood. Really appreciate your sharing and time making these videos. designer epoxy
Thanks for watching
Some people may not like content like this but I am an amateur wood worker so this is great information. Also knowing what type of wood is cool.
Thank you very much!
My grandfather was a wood turner. He never used resin but would occasionally incorporate stained glass or gold paint into his work. Primarily all wood though.
He passed last year and I deeply regret not spending more time with him, asking more about his craft, talking to him about what he loved about it and why.
The videos showing the finished products are always lovely, but I want to say a big thank you for showing this part of the process Jim. I feel like it helped me understand a bit more about Grand (Grandad's nickname!) and his life and knowledge and passion. I am very grateful 💜
I also have fond memories of my grandfather in regards to woodworking, I’m lucky to have one of his pieces in my house. Thanks for watching!
Its a cross craft reference but this side of tuning reminds me a lot of the skirting and scouring of fleece before it can be spun into yarn.
People dont realize how much has to happen to make the good we use and enjoy every day.
Thanks for taking the extra effort to film and show this.
Thanks for watching!
It's really cool how you don't hide just how much work goes into the preparation of your projects. It's definitely worth it but it is a lot of work.
Thank you very much!
I love the way you show step by step what you do. Thank you for taking the time to help us better understand your work.
You are so welcome!
@@SpragueWoodturning ☺️
This showcases all the work it takes just to get to the turning point of a bowl Designer Epoxy
Thank you very much!
Definitely a lot of work that most folks don’t understand about the finished product at the end 👍🏻 Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching
You are the only person I have seen explaining the process you have to go thru before you even turn on the lathe. I loved the first video you did on this and I loved this one. Thank you for the time you take to explain it.
Thanks for watching!
I wonder how many of your subscribers are not woodturners. Count me in that group. I greatly enjoy watching you turn and marvel at your finished products. Nevertheless, it was interesting to see this part of the process too. It’s a lot more work than I imagined to get a piece of wood ready to go on the lathe.
There’s a large number of non turners here on my channel, it great! Thanks
There's almost more prep work that finish work!!
Some of those pieces definitely have a lot of character.
They sure do! Thanks
Super relaxing video, even without Designer Epoxy
Thank you very much!
Designer epoxy
Always great to learn new things watching your videos during my Friday night overnight shifts.
Thank you very much!
Still haven't been able to start turning yet, but I thoroughly enjoy woodworking as a hobby. I'm glad you touched upon all the work that goes into any project. I'm an electrician by trade and there are plenty of people who have no idea just how much time it takes 'behind the scenes' to get their job done. Permits, supply house, paperwork, etc... they only see the few hours you spend at their place but not the time doing everything else. I'm sure you've heard 'how can you justify $300 for a bowl when it only took a twenty minute video to make it?' Thanks for the vid...
Yes, I would hear it quite a bit at shows. Some people just have not clue! Thanks
I can definitely commiserate with loving that bliss that comes from getting back to basics, just you and the wood and letting all the rest of it go, yet your body just can't take it. I've been gifted by a lot of things in this life. The body of a woodturner is not one of them. :(
I'm glad your body allows you to do some of this. It's good for the soul.
It sure is! Thank you very much!
It's nice seeing the prep work required to make blanks and bread boards. Thanks for that.
Thanks for watching
Designer epoxy! Processing wood is like playing the slots, you never know what the next cut will turn up! Jackpot or bust. Lot of work there for sure!
Thank you very much!
I love the creative process as you make bowls, but I find these types of videos so fascinating. Thanks for drawing back the curtain. I would love to see the hunt for all that wood.
Most time it just shows up, lol. Thanks
Hi Jim,
That sound belongs to a tree frog :)
Can't wait to see what comes out of that woodpile!
Thanks for wearing chaps, and being safe too!
Thank you very much!
I was glad you lowered the volume for the tools but it made me think there was mosquitos in my room 😹 definitely was good to see you rough out your stock, reminds us viewers how much work goes into your projects 🥰
There was definitely lots of them around me, lol. Thanks
I really appreciate how you explain everything in your process. I’ve watched other channels that all they do is work away with no talking or voice over which for me is very boring and I find I fast forward to the end. You have a way of keeping things interesting. Designer epoxy
Thank you very much!
Thanks for showing all of the work turners do to process blanks Jim.
Thanks for watching
Designer epoxy. It was fun to see all the interesting wood grains in the cuttings. Sorry for the work it takes and the pain it gives you. Love your channel.
It comes with the job, lol. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for for doing these videos Jim! Nothing nicer then working outside and being surprised by what’s in your pile 👍
Very true! Thanks
Thanks for showing us all of the prep work that goes into getting setup to turn and make boards. More info is always needed. Thanks again.
Thank you very much!
Thanks for showing the process of how you cut the wood to get the best yield. Its a shame a lot of people dont get to see this when they go to shows.
Thank you very much!
That's a lot of future projects 😂 and a lot of trying to figure out what the wood wants to be. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much!
Great setup. Figuring out what you're doing and how to do it better is how you invent new things.
Absolutely! Thanks!
We have a ton of black walnut trees in our neighborhood. The squirrels love to plant them for us. I have a newfound fondness for the wood thanks to your projects. Love to see the way you process the wood.
Wish I had lots of them around me, lol. Thanks
The spalting in that locust is beautiful.
Totally, thanks!
That was different. Not for the weak. Really enjoyed seeing the process. Thanks Jim. ❤️
Thanks for watching
One might say after viewing your vids and thumbnails, that you’re really into your crotch wood. Always enjoy see your journeys, tips, and tricks ~Smile oN
Doesn’t everybody like crotches, hahaha. Thanks
Always appreciate the behind the scenes footage. Designer Epoxy
Thank you very much!
Your right about people not knowing what it takes. Great references and refresher.
Thank you very much!
Jim, I really like the cookie cutter rig and the cutting boards you produce with it! Thanks love your down to earth , candid way you do your video demonstration. I learn something new with every video!
Glad you like them! Thanks
Great Video Jim, I am not a woodturner I just love watching you make stuff, it was great to see how it all starts
Thank you very much!
This is fascinating to watch....loving the longer videos explaining your reasoning behind why you do the things you do. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching
I’m small potato’s in comparison to you in both skill and I’m a hobbyist. I’ve been watching you for years. I agree when you first see what’s inside of a log is a great thrill. Thank you as always. Stay well. Designer epoxy
Thank you very much!
As much as I love watching you turn bowls, this one is extremely informative on making bowl blanks. Keep up the great work.
Thank you very much!
Thanks for a look at the part of the woodturning process that we usually don't get to see.
Designer Epoxy
Thank you very much!
Designer epoxy .. keep informing everyone what it takes to make a bowl..I know my back reminds me every day the size of a piece of wood that it takes to make a 23 inch finished bowl. Heavy..I'm also in the middle of preparing a walnut tree. Thanks for the content..
Great, thanks for watching!
I really liked seeing the hard work of the professional woodworker . Your correct about alot of people not knowing what goes into it. Can't wait for the turning of all these blanks. Take care
Thank you very much!
Great video! I'm sure a lot of people have no idea how much work goes into a finished product.
Thank you very much!
The pencil line spalting looks like antique maps. Very cool!
Thank you very much!
I enjoy watching you process the logs to see what’s inside. Can’t wait to see what you make out of it.
Thank you very much!
Work Jim your are not kidding it takes a lot out of you. But it’s worth the aches and pains. Thanks for the videos.
Thanks for watching
Glad you show this effort, one so folks can understand the work it takes and two instructional on how to cut up odd shaped logs. Designer Epoxy.
Thank you very much!
Designer Epoxy. I am just getting started in this woodturning obsession, and can't wait to experience all that it gives. Thank you for the knowledge that you share! It is so valuable to those of us just starting out.
Your very welcome!
Always good to see all the work that goes into it before they are ready to turn.
Thank you very much!
Thanks for the behind the scenes look. I really enjoy seeing the jigs and such you have incorporated into your processes.
Thanks for watching
I love these processing videos! I learn so much about how to cut the logs to obtain the best blanks.
Thank you very much!
These roughing out videos are some of my favorite. Thank you!
Thanks for watching
Watched another turner do some prep work the other day. It’s always good to see how others prep their wood. Hearing your thought process and seeing what you do helps as I process my stack. Thanks for sharing.
Designer Epoxy
Thank you very much!
Don’t you still get excited opening these piece just to see the surprises inside.
Every time! Thanks!
I can't wait to see what you do with Designer Epoxy and those pieces!
Me too!! Lol. Thanks
Thank you for showing what all goes into it. I started dating a woodturner a couple months ago and your videos give me a better idea of what all he does.
Great! Thanks for watching
Keep putting in videos that are teaching ones, like this is ... your craftsmanship is great but it's nice to see how and where to start ... and yes, I watched this a few times, pick up something new each time
Thank you very much!
I'm just a beginner woodturner, mostly yarn bowls & crochet hooks. You have inspired me to try new things. Thank you!
Great! Thanks for watching
Thank you for the video. I'm not actually a wood turner but I found it interesting to see all the hard work that goes on before the wood ever hits your lathe.
Thank you very much!
Lots of work, hurts my back just watching. love the process Designer Epoxy
Thank you very much!
Your timing is perfect! Just working through a bunch of wood collected after a recent wind storm, keep up the great work, this is content that a lot of people need.
Glad to help! Thanks
Watching turning videos is always fascinating to me, but to see the work before it can done is so humbling. ❤
Thank you very much!
Designer epoxy. I enjoy your videos. So much I learn from you. Thank you.
Thanks for watching
Can't wait to see what you do with this bowls and using Designer Epoxy. Great job Jim
Thank you very much!
Thanks for showing us all the important pre-work. Very interesting, very organized, very thought-out, very IMPRESSIVE. Thanks for teaching us. And I love the snow chains on your tractor.😊❤
Don’t use it much in the summer so I’d figure I would just leave them on, lol. Thanks
the slideshow with the music at the end, good stuff 👌
Thank you very much!
These processing videos are some of my favorite. Great content!
Thank you very much!
I am not a turner but find all your videos fascinating. A lot of work goes into each piece and everything I have seen so far is a work of art. Thanks for sharing!
Cool, thanks!
Thank you!!! We are JUST about to cut logs and now, thanks to you, we will have a LOT more to work with when we are done!!!
Thanks for watching
Jim, very interesting video on how to cut blanks for turning, I think it gives everyone ideas on how to cut and process work. Thanks for that
Thanks for watching
Thank you for showing the work behind the work. Very educational!!!
Thanks for watching!
Designer Epoxy.
Forgot that, thanks for the reminder.
