    Good suggestion from the person about the blue bulb. It's not just a lamp someone is paying for. It's a sculpture, a one off piece of art, beauty and craftsmanship that just so happens to be functional too. If people think a few thousand is expensive for your art, perhaps they should remind themselves that someone paid an obscene amount of money for a blue dot on a white canvas. 😉

    Nice work. The "bell" feature truly needs to stay. Now you have a Designer Epoxy jellyfish hovering over the coral reef. Blue bulb looks great. Thanks for posting

    The blue bulb is a winner. A neat project for sure. 💕

    It’s absolutely beautiful. I love the blue light, it definitely adds the perfect amount of ambience. Absolutely love it! It’s definitely worth the money. More than I could do right now but it is definitely worth the money! The people that bought this will love it. What a beautiful piece of art.

  • @loridonnell6040

    Hi Jim. Thing is, it's more than a lamp. It is definitely a piece of artwork and could be in a museum. Don't sell yourself short!!! Just fantastic. Was fun to watch!! ❤

  • @billthoms4335
    @billthoms4335 2 дні тому +1

    Here is my thought. The more experienced you are, the easier you make it look and I feel as though I could do this myself, and I don't know a thing. Excellent! Thanks again.

  • @TheFlyingMage

    "Bell feature" was totally worth saving.
    And it somewhat mirrors the top shape element of the base, which ties them both together.

    I absolutely LOVE the "bell feature" on the lampshade! So, so pretty! The whole theme is fantastic!

  • @thomasjones3591
    @thomasjones3591 9 місяців тому +10

    Jim, although you say that next week will be out of this world, this finished lamp has already achieved that. The use of the glow in the dark coloring and the mix which was achieved within the shade has created an underworld deep horizons effect. I must applaud your skills and the work which went into this lamp was commendable. I was glad you left the air bubbles in the shade they bring a diving dimension to the top of the bell dome. == just thinking of GI Joe under the dome swimming up to the surface == 🤿

    Jim, you’re a genius! I had no idea a shade made out of wood and epoxy was possible. I figured it would be too heavy. To me, this is a real masterpiece. I love how you experiment with epoxy. It’s amazing what you can do with it. Adds a whole new dimension to what is already a fantastic piece of art.

    Prep work takes a lot more time than the finish work. I really like the blue light in the lamp!!!❤🎉

  • @ginrobi01
    @ginrobi01 9 місяців тому +2

    That is, hands down, the coolest lamp I've ever seen! Not only by using Designer Epoxy's pigments, which were perfect, but the shape you gave it, Jim, was absolutely perfect. And while I understand that you'd have to charge an exorbitant amount to make a profit on one, those who have the funds to spend on something completely and utterly unique, won't blink at the price tag. I'd say put that on your menu of available products, with plenty of time so that it's not the only thing you're working on, the appropriate price tag for a specialty item, and I'll bet someone will snatch it up. If I had the funds, heck yeah, I would!!!

    I couldn't hardly wait till today cause i was befuddled on how you was gonna make a lamp shade. Was it gonna be fsbric or resin.i just couldn't see you sewing a lanp shade,not that you could not run a sewing machine but i just dont think that is your main intrest. I can see why this shade is stunning. Beautiful work. Worth the wait.🎉🎉🎉

  • @martastirling2570
    @martastirling2570 9 місяців тому +1

    Love the look with the blue bulb. The UV glow in the dark is so pretty and the marbling effect of the different colors of resin too. I do wish there was more of the burl in it just because I love the look of it in the lamp itself. Overall this will be a great signature piece with its sister bowl. Would be neat to see them together.

      Wow what a beautiful piece. Whoda thunk a lamp shade that big would be made out of designer epoxy resin. I really like the bell shape, it reminds me of the old school bells at the checkin of a hotel lobby or the ones on old bicycles. Very very cool.

    @themeese2 9 місяців тому +1

    I am also on Team Blue Bulb and Team Bell! That turned out absolutely amazing! I think the "reef" look isn't as striking in the shade as it is in the base due to the small amount of wood, but it makes sense that you couldn't use much due to the small amount of the burl you had to work with. It wouldn't have made sense to leave the wood out either, because it ties the top and the bottom together. In the end you definitely made the right choice. The new owner will LOVE it!

    We REALLY appreciate your reviews as you go. We have wood pieces that haven’t sold. Now we are going to add shine and see if that gives them the edge to sell. Thank you!!! Also, thank you for your feedback of cost for a mostly epoxy piece verses the chances of finding a buyer with really deep pockets. We are finding that most people don’t know what they are looking at and have no clue about the cost of materials, time and artistry needed to make it. They just want it for $5 or less. Great job!!!! Designer epoxy.

I personally find that refreshing. I love the bell shap, it is certainly evocative of a jelly fish. I look forward to another trip to outer space.
    I am also praying that you have good luck selling your house, but I dread the waiting time till You get settled and start creating your art again! I am addicted to your channel.

Very cool. would love to see an all-wood project in the future, however I pretty much enjoy all you projects. Thanks. Designer Epoxy

    This is a great looking project! The shade goes with the base so well. I'm glad you had enough burl in the shade to reflect the "coral" of the base, even if it was not as much as you (or I) originally hoped. Also truly amazing how much the blue light makes a difference to the overall look, that addition definitely a winner.

    Oh, yes, the blue bulb makes it! Ah, I happen to do a lot of color by number art on my smart phone, and there are always a lot more bubbles than that in the aquatic scenes, so I say there's nothing to worry about with that. More bubbles might have been a plus in fact, going by that. Stunningly gorgeous work of art, as always!😊

    The shade turned out wonderfully. I caught the tail end of the premiere and will go watch the whole thing shortly. Base and shade have both complimentary yet subtle differences that make such a cohesive unit. You have an extraordinary talent, thank you for sharing your craft with us. 😊🙏

    I really like the lamp Jim. I can see you making all kinds of them for the ocean fishermen. The colours came out good. I can imagine the time that went into figuring out how to do the shade. When you were notching the top, I was hoping that you would not lose the vacuum. The owner is going to have quite the story to tell when the friends come over. Take care and as always, stay safe.

    So glad the tip on the blue LED worked out! (That was me. C/o mostly my years of working with reef aquariums.) Definitely looks even more awesome with the blue bulb! It brings out that real depth in the layers. GORGEOUS lamp!
    Cheers!

      @@SpragueWoodturning The thing with blacklight that I'd be concerned about is the UV, but not all blacklight bulbs actually give off UV but still get that glow, which makes sense (but is beyond my understanding, or at least recollection). Cos UV rays of course damage our tissue (especially skin & eyes, dangerously so with UV from fluorescent & halogen bulbs) and also anything exposed for a while, like the resin of the lamp. That's definitely a factor in the eventual yellowing, crazing, & cracking. IF the bulb doesn't give off any UV (as, again, some "blacklight" bulbs don't) then no problem, but do note. Blue light, however, doesn't give off UV, so there's that. Also, true blue LEDs work better for the glow, ime, and also vs a blue cap over a white LED like the bulb you showed, which still gave great results so imagine! You can easily get one of those bulb retrofits that have a regular e27 screw-in but have several LEDs in blue and in cool white, the blue for that glow & the white for normal light. Usually sold as a grow light bulb or aquarium bulb. All this, feel free to take what I've said here & ask others, like if you have or use Discord, or any board (Reddit or something) that does aquariums or indoor plants would know, probably resin folks ought to have found this, though surprisingly I (personally, anyway) haven't seen it utilised in this way, to make stuff glow.
      Sorry that was long, but hopefully it might be useful, or point you in a good direction for this &/or future projects, to get that extra pop & take full advantage of that glow quality. Cos really, just a couple of blue LEDs can make the glow stuff GLOW full-bore without having to be dark (though it's more pronounced the less bright a room) and that can really make someone think twice about "glow in the _dark"_ parts.
      Final tip, technical info: in aquarium use, especially reef/saltwater tanks, the specific blue light used is called "actinic blue" (said like "uh'TINNic" or "ah"... not quite "æ" like "cat") and is 420nm to 460nm wavelength. (And inb4 "true" actinic, cos it matters not for this application.) This is different from the "blue" 20,000°K (as in Kelvin, colour temperature used for mostly full spectrum bulbs & their appearance, not the nm wavelengths of coloured LEDs), also known incorrectly as "20K" (would be "20k°K" or at least "20kK") ... Just ignore that stuff, mostly for halide/vapour bulbs & for full grow lamps with full-spectrum mimicry.
      Sorry, I never learned to be concise! :x

You truly are a masterwoodturner and mastercrafter, the blue Led bulb was a brilliant idea it looks great on the Lamp. I really love your finishes on the items you have made they look great and attractive. Thank you for an enjoyable video and last weeks. Amandaxx❤❤
