Beautiful spalting on that found wood Mike. Love the retro style as well, reminds me of visiting my nan a long while ago.
Thanks! no idea where this bowl is now lol
❤Wow! This was a very challenging piece!
Haha I know, may been better as firewood lol
great job saving a piece of bad wood. loved the colors,thanks
Thank you! Cheers William 😀
Great job Mike, spalted wood has its ups and downs you never know what you may come across. A little tip I have learned when trying to repair defects is if you had given the hole a good coating of super glue first this would have sealed the wood, then you could make a dam around the hole with hot glue. It is then possible to pour your resin or glue into the hole above the surface of the wood. You can then use a heat gun to remove the bubbles that may form giving you hopefully a solid repair.
Thanks Stu.
Cheers Stu, I did think of doing that but a friend in is using my glue gun at the moment, must get in it back 😀
I love this bow, Mike, and the blast from the past that i'm having watching everything again :) thank you for all you do!!!
Thanks so much Dee, not sure I'm brave enough to watch the old ones lol 😂
@@MikeHolton the first couple titled as asmr threw me a bit , but they were good! nice to see the tool upgrades as time went on :)
@@deehenry1983 the ASMR is a popular phrase on youtube and I was just trying to get moew viewers lol
As you rightly said, there were certainly some challenges along the way but, as always, you were willing to take on those challenges & WON. I can't help but wonder what the outcome would have been if you had soaked the soft spots with thin CA to harden those areas & gone on with the turning, it's probably the path I would have taken for the challenge. Hmmm. Good job produced under difficult circumstances Mike. Cheers, Don from South Australia.
It could have worked, and if I were to do this now I would have certainly tried it. Learning takes time and practice and when this was made I knew a lot less than I do now. 😀
Very cool, Mike!
Thanks! 😀
I admire your willingness to take on the challenging pieces of wood. It would be easy to select the best for your videos but it makes for a very interesting view into your process.
Thanks Ted, that means a lot. I have a mountain of blanks I could use but where's the fun in that? Saying that I will be using blanks in the next two videos as they need to be well seasoned for them to work. All the best, Mike
Nice save!
Thanks! 😀
Well done for getting the finish done must have taken some patients
Haha yep Gary it was a right pain and took ages lol
I like the video a lot!! And your accent, Mike ;))))))
You are starting to make me blush 😀
Turned out great! Wonderful use of a 'found' piece of wood.
Thank you very much! 😊😊
I really enjoy your videos
Thanks Ron and I really appreciate your support 🙂
👍good save
Thanks Ken 😃
I dont know about the finish on this one but really enjoy the videos.
Haha thanks Max, I must admit this is not one of my better ideas 😂
Soooooo different 🤪🇬🇧
Haha this is an old one lol 😀
You may think of using a hot glue dam to surround your epoxy fill-in, rather than duct tape, lets the exothermic reaction breath.
I LOVE the texture. it makes me think of a hollowed out fruit.
Thanks again
Great tip! Thanks 👍
Try building a dam with electrial putty found that works, chris
@@chrisgrimshaw6358 Thanks for the idea 😀
Another lovely finished bowl.!
Thank you so much 😀
Great looking piece
The color reminds me of the beach
I know what you mean :)
Wow, thought you were beat with mate.
Not this time but I'm sure there will be other times I am 😀
It gives such a tropical vibe! I'd love to see you inlay a bowl with chunks of mother of pearl. lol
I keep meaning to do it, just need some nice shells. I'm off to Tunisia in a couple of weeks so will be looking out for something nice to put in a bowl 😃
@@MikeHolton Oh, that sounds wonderful! Get all the kinds of shells or starfish or sand dollars you can. All kinds of sizes and textures. If it isn't going in a bowl like decorative cereal, think about anything that you can inlay like rhinestones, or chunk up in a ring.
(I'm so sorry for piling so many ideas on you lol)
@@Jerepasaurus haha the more ideas the better 😀
That final picture while in your hand reminds me of pics of half a jackfruit or breadfruit! Interesting "something from free nothing" project.
Thanks Susan, I see what you mean 😀
As I’m watching you make this piece I realized the art you are wearing on your right wrist is a modern day nod to your family’s steel working background. Just an ol gals observation.. Our recent conversation and ancestors. Nice piece, I like the texturing on the outside of this bowl. Not too sure the paint is my thing though.
Haha I had to go back to see what I was wearing. That bracelet was a present from my wife not really related. However on my desk I have a large steel bolt. My father passed 13 years ago and I love to keep it around as he always had it on his desk as a paperweight.
@@MikeHolton well no she wouldn’t have given that gift as anything other than what it is- a gift. Lovely ones too. Take care and stay safe. America is coming undone…
@@flyingeaglewoman8682 My wife has amazing taste. With regards to America coming undone, I think I can see what you mean. I'm not a fan of politics but when I see a man like him do what he has done and said what he has said still winning votes I start to wonder what the world is coming to, he reminds me in a way of our former prime minister Boris Johnson. My father brought me up to be honest and loving and he taught me the importance of integrity and helping those who could not help themselves. Better stop before I start to rant, lol. Have a great evening, Mike
@@MikeHolton see FORGOTTEN HISTORY for a more accurate picture of what happened in our country. We are currently experiencing a Coup d’Etat by the most powerful and ruthless city-state to exist in human history. Make no mistake- We have a belligerent occupation in DC. Our country was hijacked over 100 yrs ago, much has been written, documented and said on the matter.. the House of Orange is very busy denigrating humanity, look up their history. They use it to project their own criminality on “Orange man bad”. If this is whom you referred to… everyone is entitled to their opinions but- facts matter. And Legacy News is lying to the world.. fact. Stay safe and take care, humanity has reach a point of no return- either face the monsters whom seek to dominate ALL of humanity or we assert our God given rights to live freely unaccosted by criminals. People all over the world are waking up to realize the existential threat to humanity… critical thinking and discernment are required… take care dear man. Your wife has good taste, her gift is lovely and she has you, clearly a good and honest man. I wish no one -except these criminals ill will… so yes- my YT name is deliberate.
Boa tarde de muito sucesso FICOU linda
Obrigado Ester
Interesting way to salvage trash wood
Thanks Jim 😀
There is a lot of fun to be had using wood that's maybe passed its best. I have one on the go just now. Something I have used to good effect in the past is single pack wood hardening resins, sold as wet rot treatment. In most cases it leaves the existing wood hard enough to turn & will double up as a sanding sealer. Tin sizes are from 250ml upwards & prices can vary a fair bit, so shop around. Just a thought but I have had success with the stuff in that past. Stay safe.
Thanks for the tip, I'll look into them.
Have you ever tried mixing some of the powdered soft wood with epoxy as a hardening medium rather than a colored epoxy? Or maybe soaking the powdered rot area with wood hardener?
I think I have tried just about everything 😀
Another amazing piece, Mike. Love the textured outside, the contrast of colour.
Was hoping to see it in the Orchid Pink, but alas. Guess that's the girly side of me, lol
Thanks for sharing. Hope you've had a great weekend 🙂
Haha, I will consider pink for a future project, just for you 😁, have a good week, Mike
@@MikeHolton I look forward to that 😋
@@fionacrouch1732 🤣
Hi Mike! Have your shop organized yet? or is that question no asked"? The bowl presented here: And here my friends is a quite lovely winter squash. All the hard work has been completed! Really though it is very nice. it would certainly be used at our house. Two Quick questions; Have you worked with Tagua nuts? I think they could look nice as an inlay material in Ebonized wood. And re you retired from Her Majesties Service?
Hi Carl, many thanks as ever. Never tried tanga nuts although I will try to get some. Also I was not in the armed forces. I started my life as a golf professional, then went into computer games and now I have been lecturing at a local university for the last 22 years.
There was a point where the speeded up Dremel sounded exactly like Higher States of Consciousness by Josh Wink!
Haha thanks, I must go for a listen 😀
what would it be like if you mixed the epoxy with some of the sawdust?
Not sure but I intend to give it a try 😀
AMEI esta tigela é?
Obrigado Ester
Lost opportunities on a lovely piece of wood
Thanks
They can't all be wicked googalies. 😅
Exactly! 😀
I’m going to be honest and say it’s not your best work. But it was interesting watching the different techniques you used.
No you are right Justin, it turned into a more experimental piece at the end lol 😀
Different lathe, is that an old one?
Indeed Mike, I started the channel using an old basic mini lathe 😀
You should have used lacquer like you said you were
Yes, I did try it after and it's looked ok 😃
Where do you get colours for epoxy please?
Morning Mike, I use mica powders from Let's Resin letsresin.co.uk/?ref=_O7uwU1QN4vDXg
Although you can get mica powder from lots of places.
All the best, Mike
What brand of lathe is this?
This is a Lumberjack lathe, I have since upgraded but it did do the job well for a cheap lathe 😀
I cannot agree with you that this piece of wood isn’t very interesting
I find it fascinating
Of course not in the way your burl from Morocco for £150 ;))))))
Haha fair enough 😀
Never had any success with resin and it's expensive to waste
I completely agree, not a fan either
lol dude you were using the resin all wrong... don't blame the resin for user error!
Explain please
@@MikeHolton The bubbles were air pockets created by this resin. When you taped over it, it trapped the bubbles and the heat generated by the curing process. Most people use vacuum chambers when curing these kind of complex and/or large pours.
EDIT: I JUST realised this is a one year old video. I guess you already got some good advice so feel free to disregard my snark!
What does it mean: spalted wood? I teach English but this Word isn’t known to me….
Spalting is the name given to the black lines in the wood formed by a fungus in the wood. It happens if a piece of wood in left on damp ground and takes about 3-4 months to appear.
