I always cringe when an artist, or a patron. says they are combining red and green in a project. I have visions of muddy brown, or bad Christmas ornaments. I should have known to trust your skills with your chosen media. You created another exquisite piece, with or without being lighted. You've done yourself proud, yet again. Thank you for consistently turning out great pieces for our edification and enjoyment.
Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!
I really was not sure I was going to fall in love with this one. As usual, you made it happen. You have yet to disappoint!
Hahahaha. I was thinking the same thing.
Jim, this piece turned out well, Outstanding! When I saw the clumps of resin drop in and heard you sigh, I was worried. However, I believe the concentration/separation worked really well.. while still having some great mixture in other places. Was it the black pearl that made the green color pop so much under the black light? Whatever causes it... it's very cool!
I'm sure this gift will be well received! KUDOS to the sweet husband that reached out to you for his wife's surprise gift too.
In regards to your Sprague-Spooky endeavors next week it might be cool to add a few glow in the dark colors to the black in some way. Wishing you and your wife a great weekend.
Мне понравилось цветовое решение. Это так мило и естественно, в духе уютных предметов обихода времен нашего СССР.
У нас очень любили такие изделия.
И еще мне очень нравится идея первоначальной заливки смолы, чтобы получить полую заготовку. Это экономит материал и другие ресурсы.
И еще, позволю себе предложить одну идею. Во всяком случае ее можно проверить.
Когда остается так много стружки из цветной смолы, то может быть ее стоит использовать повторно? Заливать прозрачной смолой и иметь великолепный интересный наполнитель для будущих шедевров?
As someone who does not work with wood I really really enjoy the way you narrate your work!I am a recovering cancer patient and I just find your channel really soothing so please keep up your wonderful work! I thank you for sharing your true talent
Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!
That could totally be an Italy bowl because a portion of the red looks like Italy. Love it!
Cool! Never noticed that! Thanks!
I would love to see it upside down with led lights inside. I could just see those gorgeous colors glowing.
That would be cool! Thanks
Good morning to all. Tea and toast at the ready.
Hope you enjoy, thanks
When the resin went in lumpy, I was concerned but it sure didn’t disappoint. Great work as always!
You and me both! Thanks
I can't imagine that the recipient wouldn't be thrilled with this piece. And she can watch it being made! (Hubby gets a gold star for thinking of this gift.)
I think so too! Thanks
With a little imagination, I think I can see a dragon shape in the red resin! When it comes to demolding, I imagine the music from Star Wars swelling in the background, especially when the bucket goes to the floor! "Oh things are getting serious! Jim's putting it on the floor!!"
Lol. Thanks!
I truly believe that if that resin hadn't gone as far as it did you would have a ton more pink. This is awesome piece and really does the Welsh flag justice!! Designer Epoxy
Thank you so much!
That is a gorgeous piece. The colours are amazing. Speaking as a Welsh woman, I’m sure Nicola will love it. Cymru am byth!
Thank you so much!
If you let your imagination go, you can see the dragon in there a couple of different places!!!! This is a beautiful vase, and I bet your customers were very pleased with this creation.
He certainly was, thanks!
ANOTHER OLDY AMAZZING PIECE HOPE THE HUSBAND WAS HAPPY I KNOW HIS WIFE WILL LOVE IT FOR SURE 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you very much!
Yep you can see the Welsh flag in that beautiful vase. Wales is such a wonderful diverse country,the coast line the mountains and the valley's. So much beauty. Jim you turned another great one thanks for sharing 😘😘💖💖🙏🙏
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks
This is very lovely. The color separation was great. I love the gentle shape of this piece. Wonderful job once again Jim.👍
Thank you so much 😀
"Turning" things into ART. Great job sir!
Thank you kindly!
that red dragon said i am the main character. beautiful vase.
Thank you very much!
The colors are perfect, separation is great. The slogan I think of is "This is my best piece yet!" 😁😁😁
Thank you! Cheers!
Amazing colour & colour separation. Another beautiful turning Jim. You make my Friday mornings.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks
That vase would make any Welsh home proud. Lovely!
I think so too! Thanks
I’m always impressed when a man gives his wife a gift of art! Very cool!
Thank you very much!
That's a beautiful looking vase Jim. Very smart in adding that black in the green, turned out the same as the green in flag color. Love the colors , awesome job
Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!
This is brilliant, Jim! A really abstract impression of the Welsh flag! Being in Liverpool, I can be in Wales within 45 minutes, so I know all about Welsh folk. They are very passionate about their cultural identity, so I was pleased to see you get the colours right and your explanation of why you weren't using an ACTUAL dragon should keep them happy! They will "Keep a Welcome in the Hillsides and the Vales" for you!!
I like the idea of a merch line, and I'll look forward to seeing what all of us can come up with for t-shirts, hats etc!
This was actually one of my main concerns when doing this project. Didn’t want to offend anyone, thanks!
It amazes me how you start with pieces of ugly wood and turn them into pieces of art. It amazes me to watch an artist at work. Great job.
Thank you very much!
Beautiful vase. T-shirt slogan suggestion "The Banging Turner!"
Thank you very much!
Amazing work of art. The colour of the Welsh flag is definitely there and with the wood it is stunning. You never disappoint us with your talent Jim ❤
Thank you very much!
Again, you have done yourself proud.
Thank you very much!
I thought of the Welsh flag when I saw the thumbnail. It’s a lovely piece.
Thank you very much!
This piece turned out wonderfully. Maybe it's me, but I see hints of the Welsh dragons in the resin. I love the fact that you're not afraid to use bold colours together. Admittedly, I'm partial to blues, purples, and greens, but the colours are so vibrant that it seems to bring a spark of life to the wood in the pieces you do. Thank you for sharing your craft with us.
Thank you very much!
Never underestimate an army mechanic. God bless. Beautiful piece.
Thank you very much!
Spectacular colors; love the "gingerbread man" look of the burl in the bottom!.
Thanks a bunch!
Ooo! The Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man is in there, right out of Ghostbusters!!!
Thanks again!
Another beautiful piece. I'm sure the guys wife will love it very much. Until Next time have a wonderful weekend and week. See you next Friday for another video
Thank you! You too!
The one "ghost" on the inside made me think of a gingerbread man, especially with the red and green being Christmas colors!
Very cool piece Jim!
Thank you very much!
I noticed that some of the red resin looked to have the shape off dragons. Very appropriate for the family that's going to get it. So very cool!!!!!! With the light in it it's fabulous!!!
I think so too! Thanks
Oh forgot to mention that when you get some T-shirt designs setup I’ll be looking to get one! I’ll be sure to especially wear it when I go to the Woodturning Club meetings. Designer epoxy. 😊
Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!
I’m not sponsored by anyone but I love resin & epoxy art & this is the best deep cast epoxy I’ve seen
Thank you very much!
I seen a red dragon , but no ghosts. Another beautiful piece.
Thank you very much!
Another fab project, loving the colours. Saw the ghosts inside and I saw a dragon in flight in green and I saw an eye 😁
Thanks so much!
Amazing colour separation. Well done! Really like the smiling figure in the bottom. Looks like he is floating on his back in an ocean of colour 😄
Thank you so much 😀
“The bucket struggle is real” 😂😂
Good one! Thanks!
To be honest, I think of Christmas more than of a flag with this piece, but it doesn't mean I don't like it - it's pretty gorgeous! And as usual I love your deeper pieces.
Thank you very much!
at 85 years old and been wood working as a hobby for 60 of them i think this is the most beutyful vase i have ever seen
Thank you very much!
that's ok thank you i was a racehorse trainer here in aus till 6 months ago i first started wood turning in 59 in a military rehab ctr in the uk it was done on a tredal laith to build the muscles up in my legs after being blown up in an armard car it workt and i devellopt a big interest in wood turning i don't think that i am verry good but i have sold a few things thank you for your interesting vidioes
@@SpragueWoodturning
I didn't know at first wether I would like this piece or not? I love it nice going the inside is incredibly.
Thank you very much!
My wife and I think this is the most beautiful separation of color we've ever seen. AMAZING.
Keep up the good work we love watching your videos, we are retired in Quartzsite Az.
Thank you so much for entertaining us with your amazing work.
Wow, thank you!
NICE! In addition to the Welsh flag 🏴, I also see an awesome container for summertime watermelon 🍉 and strawberry shortcake. Well done! Enjoy Nicola! Jim is a master craftsman!
Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!
The lumpy resin really worked well! I love the way the colors really stayed intact in the project.
Thank you! Cheers!
Definitely a lot of resin in this one. The contrast between the natural wood and the resin is specially striking on this one.
Thank you very much!
I'm sure she will love that bowl. Great job.
I think so too! Thanks
A true master of turning and the usage of epoxy / wood / and whatever you "threw in" to make it work. Beautiful colors for displaying the Welsh colors of their flag. 👍❤.
Thank you very much!
That was beautiful when it wasn’t lit up. When it was lit up, WOWZA!!!
Thank you very much!
Lol about the ghost ! What a striking vase - makes me think of cherry blossom, but very appropriate for the Welsh flag😊
Thank you very much!
Turned out looking like marble. Great job, Jim!!! Beautiful!!!
Thanks a bunch!
Happy it turned out so well Jim. Seems the heat-sink idea has merit. 👍
Thanks 👍
I would be tickled to death to get this as a vase. I can easily picture tulips and other spring flowers looking awesome in it. Great job!
Totally, thanks!
Jim I am one of the people that just watch the channel to see what you turn out every week have no experience in wood turning but love what you do. Slogan suggestion: Keep it steady. Sprague wood turning.
Awesome, thank you!
Oh my goodness me - as a very proud welsh girl who's never lived anuwhere but Wales - you have done our flag proud im just gutted its not mine to display 🏴
Beautiful piece and I'm very biased i know!! 😁🏴😁
Wow! Your comment means a lot as you are Welsh! Thank you so much!
@@SpragueWoodturning I meant every word - just gutted that in a video I watched yesterday you said you weren't doing anymore commissions otherwise I would be asking for something similar but different 😂
Love the shape. If I wanted flag colors, thought your attempt was spot on.
Thank you very much!
This turned out just beautiful! What a sense of pride you must feel, and rightly so.
Thank you very much!
Awesome piece, again.... 8) You'd think you'd get tired of all this praise 8)
Not a chance, lol. Thanks
Buying tools as you need them, is the exact same advice my old man gave me; and he knows tools as well.
Good advice Jim, looking great before youre even done; that u.v luminosity of the green is sharp.
Thanks for sharing your process, and purpose, as always.
The color separation is awesome, big fan.
Right on! Thanks so much!
Colour separation is lovely. I would love this piece. I would change my whole decor colouring around this beautiful vase. I can see flowers in this. ❤❤❤
Thank you! Cheers!
The man's wife is going to be very happy with this work of art.
Thank you very much!
I would love to see u do a shirt or hoodie that says " doin the nasty" with a picture of a salt and pepper mill set😂❤❤❤
Ha ha. Thanks
Best part of friday mornings. The light up at the end is spectacular!
Thank you very much!
Whew! I was worried when the resin glopped into the bucket like that! So glad it worked out!
What a thoughtful gift, I hope the recipient loves it. Thanks as always for sharing, Jim.
Thank you very much!
Love ur fight with the centre piece ❤️ vase turned out beautifully & the colours were perfect, I'm sure she will cherish her Welsh Flag design
Thanks so much 😊
Have a great weekend.
Designer Epoxy
Thanks, you too!
Absolutely stunningly gorgeous Jim. I'm sure she is going to love this vase. Take great care and see you next week.
Thank you! Cheers!
As someone that has never done woodturning before I feel like I always learn something new watching your videos. Just a goofy slogan "Sprague's woodturning me on" Have a great weekend
Racy, lol. Thanks
Jim, very cool and I love the color separation. You wanted a dragon and you succeeded. From our end the large red area resembled the dragon. Great job.
Thank you very much!
Friday turning time!!!!
Thank you very much!
Having been an industrial maintenance mechanic and now a wood turner too, I can identify with your thought process oftentimes. Think about the possibilities of success versus failure, then go with that decision with determination to see it through . An artist with a working man sensibility - Love it!
Thank you very much!
Beautiful combination of colors I've never seen a Welsh flag before I'm sure they will love it. Designer epoxy
Thank you so much!
My sister would love this one. It's gorgeous.
Thank you very much!
My favorite!! The never ending battle of Jim vs the mold!! 🤣😂🤣
Very cool vase!! 🥰
Love the colors!
Thank you very much!
I Like it! The shape, and colours, remind me of tulips. It's just so pretty!
There is also, definitely, the red on green of the Welsh flag, so, Well Done!
Thank you very much!
28:58 looks like a gingerbread man!
Yah, I’ve learnt a lot from your videos, Jim! And it’s cool to see something on this side of the pond represented! You did Wales proud, I think.
And yay! Merch! I’ll have a think on ideas! 🎉
Thank you very much!
WHAT no dragon!!! Lol its beautiful Jim!!
Thank you very much!
Lovely colour separation on the vase, and designer epoxy deep cast didn't crack. Wonderful, resin looks good enough to eat, its xmas candy.
Thanks so much 😊
T shirt idea “Mighty Nice” with a 👍 up. 😉
Very cool this week Jim I can see a dragon 🐉 emerging out of the clouds. I was worried about the water in the pressure pot… I thought maybe it would boil over 😅 thanks for sharing this week!
I was worried about that too, don’t think it gets quite that hot to boil water, but possibly. Thank you very much!
Good morning. Happy to be watching in Ontario, Canada. Greetings from Trenton.
Morning! 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Absolutely lovely. It gives both Welsh flag vibes, and Cherry Blossom vibes. ❤
Thank you very much!
I wasnt sure about the use of the 3 colors but you did it right so the color separation turned out right! I did worry a bit when it looked like it thickened like pudding, I was afraid it would have bubbles.
I LOVE the shape, its sort of like a fishbowl shape! Im sure your customer will be very happy!
As a slogan, maybe "Let's pop it in the clean room!" ?
Thanks Jim!❤
Thank you so much!
WOW! That turned out beautiful, the way you arranged the colors was just magnificent!!!
Thank you so much!
Looks like Central America on the bottom. I definitely do see the ghosts. I see storms on the outside. The color separation is awesome!!! Another beautiful work of art!!!!! 😊
Thanks!
Designer Epoxy. Wow the colours are amazing. the new owner will love it.
Hope so! Thanks
I really like all the shades of green in the vase. The shape is a beauty.
Thank you very much!
The color separation, contrast and transparency under the light is amazing. This piece is really cool I am sure Nicola will be thrilled to show case this beauty!
Have a wonderful weekend 😊
Thank you so much!
Wow Jim,
I didn’t think I’d like this piece but it just goes to show that you should always watch before you decide. Love it!
Thank you so much!
Nice vase Jim, should have called it a Christmas candy vase, it has the colors of Christmas candy
You're right! Thanks
Definitely a stunning piece of artwork. Colors have a beautiful separation. ❤💚🤍
Designer Epoxy
Thank you! Cheers!
That's another fabulous piece. Personally I'd have liked for the red and green to have been slightly more muted. However, im sure that the recipient is going to love it.
Thanks so much 😊
I love watching you turn these beautiful projects. I am not a wood turner and I wish I had a place to put some of your work. I would buy it in a heartbeat!!! 🥰😍🥰❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you very much!
Got to admit that color separation is something else and I think you nailed the flag colors.
Thank you very much!
That is a pretty and gigantic rose bud.
Thank you very much!
The colors came out amazing on this one!
Designer Epoxy
Thank you!
The colors and separation are absolutely spectacular! I was kind of worried when the resin was initially pouring and it was "blobby" but I shouldn't have. Thanks for another great video.
Thank you so much!
Each project is better than the last. Can't wait for future projects. Thanks for the eye candy Jim!
Glad you like them! Thanks
beautiful vase. the designer epoxy always turns out well.
Thank you! Cheers!
the red and white marbling is fantastic!! another great creation
Thank you very much!
